SHADOW SHIFTERS

CHAPTER NINETEEN

- please don't risk it, you could be caught, I would not forgive myself if he got his paws on you.
- it's ok... here.
She said bringing a satchel full of food out.
- wow, you grabbed a lot of stuff y/n.
- I think they have a ball or something going because there is a banquet set up in the kitchens, eat it so you can get your strength back.
- I owe you big time y/n.
- you better remember that when we are back at college, maybe you can treat me and others a little better, including Jimin, he has been helping me a lot Jungkook.
- I'll work hard on that.
He began to eat, the things that she had brought for him, there was a lot of protein but also a few desserts, wanting nothing more than for him to get his strength back as soon as possible.
- you have to go before he pops back down here, I don't need you to get captured by his ass too, that won't be good for any of us.
- I don't want to leave you here Jungkook.
She said with not hesitation, without thinking.
- don't worry about me, I'll be fine I promise, with all this food, I feel like I'm going to use my powers really, really soon.
Y/n did not understand what got into her but she moved forward so quickly it scared her, wrapping her arms around him.
He just sat there letting her warmth envelop his body.
- thank you...
He whispered, letting one arm wrapped around her, wanting to feel her even closer.
His ears perked up.
- go, there is someone coming...
His arm retreated before he moved back.
- go please go...
He felt the anxiety taking root deep inside his soul.
- I am...
She leaned closer leaving a soft peck on the corner of his mouth before she was gone.
- (sigh of relief) fuck that almost made my heart stopped beating.
Then the heavy wooden door that lead to the dungeons opened, he sat back in the corner again and pretended to be sleeping.
- I guess you aren't hungry.

Namjoon's voice filled up his ears.
- I was, until I felt your unwanted presence.
- ungrateful shit, I came to bring you some food, and that's how you treat me.
- forgive me if I don't welcome you with open arms when you are holding me captive against my own will... father.
The last word had a bite to it.
- fine don't eat...
He said throwing whatever in the corner of the cell.
- you call that food?, I'm not an animal you know.
Jungkook had to laugh, he had brought scraps, bones to feed him, while she had brought him chicken, meat and desserts.
- I'm not hungry thank you.
Jungkook closed his eyes back up.
- are you trying to weakened yourself even more son?
- for your sake, you need to keep me like this... father.
Jungkook almost barked at him but held himself back.
Namjoon walked back up the stairs of the dungeons leaving Jungkook to his solitude, and his thoughts were crowded with her face.
- why can't I stop thinking about you?

Y/n kept popping up once a day in the dungeons to see Jungkook and to bring him food.
- thank you y/n, thank you for doing this, I feel my body going back to normal.
He said letting his eyes glow, they had a slight tint orange red.
- oh your alter ego is showing up.
She teased him.
- my alter ego?
His eyebrows rose.
- yes your you know.
- my dick?
- what, what's that necessary?
- I don't know what are you talking about y/n, you said that my alter ego is...
- ok, ok... don't worry about it.
She stopped him from talking and his eyes just focused on her red cheeks, she could not even meet eye contact.
- your cheeks are red, are they going to catch fire or something?
- I'm leaving...
- so soon, you just got here.
- I don't want to get caught sir.
- come on stay a little longer, I'll let you know if someone is coming.
- of course you have the best hearing taking in consideration that you are a dog.
- a dog? I feel offended.
- isn't that what the hellhound is?
- stop saying that out loud, no one knows, and I want to keep it that way.
- well, I apologize sir.
- forget that I told you that, it won't be good for me if he finds out.
- that man is awful...
- I know.
He said while eating the bread, salami and cheese that she had brought for him.
- but he suspects that I'm hiding something from him, he just doesn't know what.
- we don't need him to know.
- well that means that, what you just blurted out can't be said again or I'll join my mother sooner than I would like to.
- stop, don't say that.
She scolded him before hugging his waist.
- you are enjoying hugging me too much lately.
He joked, she opened her eyes at his statement, quickly pulling back.
- I'm so sorry, I didn't realize what I was doing.
- come here, it's ok.
He said while bringing her back in his embrace.
- it doesn't bother me, it's just something that I'm not used to since my mother died, she was the only one that gave me hugs like you, but she did it because she loved me, it' was her way to show me love, what's your reason, do you love me?
He teased her again.
- are you feeling playful today sir?
- I wasn't playing, I just made you a question, care to answer?
- well... I guess I do love you some kind of way because otherwise I would not be here risking my life to try to save yours.
- so you just feel obliged?
He asked before taking a step forward, so she gave a step back as well.
- I asked you a question.
He repeated taking a step forward, so y/n took another step back.
- what are you doing Jungkook?
- I asked you a question first.
- damn it no, I don't feel obligated, I just care about your rude ass I guess.
- you guess, or do you care?
His face was so close to hers, she could see the infinite in his eyes.
- why are you asking all these questions sir?
- just want to know how you feel about me that's all.
- well, I think you are rude, conceded, overbearing, that's what I think about you?
- ok, I heard that lie, now tell me how you really feel about me y/n?
- why do you care about how I feel?
- why; can't I?
He cornered her against the closest wall of the cell.
- because is not that important, all you need to know is that I care enough to want to get you out of here Jungkook.
- that's enough for me.
He leaned close enough leaving a small kiss on her lips.
- what was that for?
- is my way of saying thank you, I'm ready to get out of here, is something that I want to do as soon as I'm free, if I ever get out that is.
- hush, I'm going to get you out of here, even if that's the last thing I do in my life.
- you better not die under any circumstances y/n, are we clear?
- that's something that's not up to you, is it?
- it's an order, I need you to stay alive.
- why do you care?
- because I do, I don't need you to die trying to save me, if that's the case just let me rot in here.
- you are making jokes when you are in here, you are very weird.
- I'm...
His ears caught steps very close.
- go, someone is coming.
He said giving her hand a squeeze.
- I'll see you later.
- go they are really close, they aren't coming through the stairs.
- ok, stay safe...
She said before vanishing.
He thought that he was going to have a heart attack, she had barely vanished when his father turned from around the corner.
- are you going mad son?
- most likely, I have been here for weeks, without seeing anyone but your ugly face.
- so funny, just like your mother, sad she is not here to join us, so she can witness what I'm going to do with you.
- what are you talking about?
- you will see, get him out.
