SHADOW SHIFTERS

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

- yeah, whatever pain he caused me it doesn't hurt me as much as all the pain he put my mother through, just because she brought me to this world when he didn't wanted her to.
- still that wasn't a reason to kill her, who gave him the right?
Jimin was furious at Jungkook's father for having killed his mother.
- I think that isn't his first time either.
Jungkook said out loud.
- it wasn't...
Jimin replied.
- do you know?
- yes Jungkook I know.
- how do you know?
- because he also killed my father.
- what?
Jungkook could not believe what he had just heard.
- your father, Jimin what are you saying?
- my father was a wizard too Jungkook, he worked with your father for a while, but your father felt threatened by my father's knowledge, so he took him out of his way, that's how he ended up, working for the former king, my father was supposed to be in that spot not him.
- (silence)
- do not blame yourself for that.
- (stuttering)
- don't, I know that you are feeling guilty for it, but you have both to do with what your father is.
- I'm so sorry Jimin...
Jungkook brought his hands to his face, not being able to comprehend what was wrong with Namjoon, why was he so evil?
- stop, I told you to stop blaming yourself, I bet you blame yourself for your mother's death too, don't you?
- (nods) I have been blaming myself since that day Jimin, I wonder if she would still be alive if I had not been born.
- what kind on nonsense are you saying right now?
Y/n's voice came from behind him, making his head turn.
- I'm sorry if I interrupted, but we agreed to meet for dinner, I'll see you later.
She tried to leave but he stopped her.
- don't go, you aren't interrupting anything, is she Jimin?
- no please, what we are talking about, there is nothing that you can't hear.
- what I heard I didn't like it Jungkook, and pretty sure that your mother would not be happy either.
- I agree with y/n.
- it's a bad habit of mine, that I adopted when my mother died, I blame myself for her death, now for what my father did to Jimin as well, I can't believe that this man is so evil.
- what did he do to Jimin, did he hurt you?
- no, he killed my father.
- what?!
Her eyes grew bigger that was something that y/n wasn't expecting to hear out of his lips.
- he did, greed, envy, jealousy, that's how he ended up in that position by the king's side.
- you should have killed him.
She spat.
- no y/n, then he will be just like his father.
- she is right Jimin.
- no, you don't need to be like that, because you aren't like him, let the king take care of that.
- let's just stop talking about all this sad stuff, I don't want to see any of you like this guys.
The bell for dinner rang.
- well this conversation will be on hold for a while.
Jimin said extending his hand towards Jungkook.
- right, friend?

- right, friend.
Jungkook said while his hand met with Jimin's
- you made up...
She said happily, throwing her arms around them.
- we did, but there is still things that we have to talk about.
- later, we have time, I'm not planning on dying any time soon.
- yah... that's not funny Jungkook!!!
She said pushing him hard, as his body moved backwards a few steps his hand got ahold of her forearm.
- yah!!!
- if I go down you will be coming with me.
He threatened.
- stop playing you two, they called for dinner already.
- go, we will catch up with you soon.
- what do you want to be alone with him?
- always...
- really, you are sick in the head then woman.
- damn Jimin, tell me how you really feel?
- can't I be honest?
- can we drop this subject is silly?
They made their way to the dining hall, where y/n got ambushed by Helena.
- hey y/n, you have abandoned me for him...
She cut her sentence half way when her eyes found Jimin.
- y/n, who is that?
She whispered close to y/n's ear.
- him. Park Jimin, he is Jungkook's friend, he is the trainer of the blue flame team.
- he is so cute and handsome.
- thank you...
Jimin replied.
- nice to meet you...
He said extending his hand to her.
- and you are?
- Hendricks Helena, nice to meet you Park Jimin?
- Jimin is fine, shall we get some dinner?
He asked ushering her to walk before him.
- oh, someone got beaten by the love bug, it seems.
- not only her it seems.
Jungkook's lips were right beside her ear.
- shall we get some food sir?
- after you love.
She turned to look at him, the smile that he was giving her made her knees weak and her heart gushy.

- hey Jungkook, you are finally back.
Another female voice caught their attention, immediately looking towards her.
- do you want to sit with me?
- sorry, but I'm sitting with my friends.
He said before placing his arms on y/n's shoulders pushing her forward as he walked.
Celina just watched them walk away.
- is he serious friends with her? I have been trying to get close to him by he always shuts me down.
- maybe because he doesn't like you.
Changmin's voice broke the trance she was in.
- what the hell do you know?
- I think they are together.
- he could not have that low standards.
- we can work together and separate them, what do you think?
- how do I know that you aren't playing me?
- come on, why would I bother doing that? We just have common goals, so is better if we work together.
- I'll think about it.
- don't take too long, my offer won't stand for long.
He said then walked away.
She looked at his back as he disappeared in the crowd of students, but then her head turned to the table where y/n, Jungkook, Helena and Jimin were sitting at they were all eating, talking and having a good time.

Jimin was talking his life away with Helena.
- I need to go and practice.
Helena put out there all of the sudden.
- still can't get your powers under control?
Jungkook asked.
- I'm like 50% there but there is a tweak with the fire part that I can't get the grasp on.
- what I taught didn't help?
- I didn't understand very well Jungkook, I'm sorry.
- I'll help you.
Jimin threw out there making Jungkook's head turn towards him.
- she isn't part of your team Jimin.
- so what Jungkook? she is y/n's friend, the same way I help y/n, I can help her.
- but helping y/n was because of the situation.
- well, I don't mind Jungkook.
- well if you don't, be my guest.
- you...
Jimin pointed at y/n.
- what, what?
- you need to keep practicing your distance walking and your dream walking.
- I know I will as soon as I finish eating.
- do you have any issues with them?
- I can do it, but I weaken too quickly.
- I can help you with that then.
Jungkook offered.
- you are very helpful lately.
She teased him.
- well if you don't want it, I'll go the gym.
- I never said I didn't want your help, it was just a comment.
- unnecessary comment, I don't mind helping you after what you did for me back there.
- what did you do for him?
Helena asked.
- is it something nasty, that's why you haven't told me?
- not funny Helena, just for that I won't tell you anything.
- please don't tell her about that, it's embarrassing.
- how is it embarrassing Jungkook?
- I got taken like a novice.
- how come? You were out, how were you supposed to defend yourself or stop it from happening?
- I should have been able, even when in that state.
- is that even possible?
- if you are advanced enough with your skills and powers.
- oh really?
- yes Helena, what Jimin said is right.
- when do I learn that then?
- second year, you are just starting, you two have long ways to go.
Jungkook said finally getting up, taking his tray.
- are you done?
He asked y/n.
- yes I am...
- I'll take it.
- you don't have to...
- I'm going that way anyways so what the difference?
