Infernal Desires [Vampire Jungkook X Reader]

Ascension

The four witches emerged from the shadows, their silk and lace gowns whispering against the forest floor as they approached. Each bowed deeply to Jungkook, their voices in perfect harmony as they addressed him.

"Master."

Y/N stood frozen. Her wide eyes darted between the unfamiliar women and the man she loved. Too much. It was all too much. Just minutes ago, she confronted the man who confessed to killing her parents, who is none other than the man she loves.

Her breath hitched, heart pounding in her chest like a war drum. She took a trembling step back, only to feel Jungkook's hand wrap firmly around hers. His other hand slid around her waist, grounding her.

His gaze met hers, soft and steady. "Breathe, my love. I'm here."

Then, turning to the witches, his voice hardened. "Open the gates."

The witches bowed again. One stepped forward, reaching into a hidden pouch beneath her gown. She retrieved handful of white ash and sprinkled in air. The ash shimmered strangely, almost alive.

They stood in a perfect square, one at each point. Their arms lifted, and their lips moved-not in any human language, but in something older, darker. The ground trembled faintly beneath them as the sky above rippled with unnatural shadows.

A gust of icy wind spiraled around the group, lifting leaves and debris into the air. The witches' chanting grew louder their eyes becoming wide, iris splitting in 3 covering the sclera completely. The scene becoming terrifying by each second, until suddenly-

A crack appeared in the space between them. Not on the ground, not in the air-somewhere in between, like reality itself had been sliced open. From within, a deep red glow poured out, pulsing like a heartbeat.

Jungkook pulled her closer. "This," he said, "is the path to the other realm. The place where you'll be reborn."

The wind blew harshly against them, with those witches' chantings .

Y/N stared at the swirling rift-black as night with veins of red fire pulsing within. It was like staring into a living wound, a darkness that breathed and called to her. Fear gripped her, but looking at Jungkook, she knew there was no turning back. He was her purpose now-her everything.

"Everything will be fine," he whispered, squeezing her hand with a gentle smile.

Hand in hand, they stepped into the void.

Y/N clung tightly to Jungkook's arm, burying her face against him as the oppressive darkness closed in around them. Her heartbeat thundered wildly in Jungkook's ears, and without hesitation, he wrapped his arms securely around her, pulling her close.

"It's alright, love," he murmured softly, but the tension in his brow betrayed him. When Y/N slowly lifted her face, she saw the flicker of unease shadowing his usually calm features.

"Jungkook... what's happening?" she whispered, worry edging her voice. Even he seemed uncertain of what lay ahead.

Jungkook's gaze hardened as he stared into the void before them. "Give me a moment," he said grimly. Raising his hand, he traced intricate symbols in the air, murmuring an ancient incantation.

Flames began to rise along the walls, slowly lighting up the dark realm. The fire revealed a huge throne, gold and red, carved on top of stone at the far end. Sitting on it was a pale man, his face hidden in shadow. Only the shape of two horns and shadow around his shoulder could be seen.

"There he is," Jungkook said with a smirk. He picked Y/N up in his arms and in a second, they appeared right in front of the throne.

"My lord," Jungkook greeted, bowing his head slightly.
