A Demon's Angel

~10~

I was afraid to even breath, the knife could cut me easily if I moved at all.

"Do you realize how pathetic my life has become since we last actually spoke to each other?" Catherine gave a careless laugh, "You used to love me, Jimin. Now this mortal? Just say the word and I can get rid of her. We can be happy again, Jimin! I love you, remember?"

"You didn't love me. You just loved the fact that I was here for you, you loved the fact that I would drop anything for you. You didn't love me, you loved my power..."

I felt Catherine tense at Jimin's sudden harsh words. The knife pressed tightly against my pulsing skin.

"You're right. But now I don't need your power. Now I have all I need..." her grip loosened. "But don't you want to know why I came back?"

"Leave, Catherine."

I sighed in relief. But she wasn't done.

"One word. Revenge."

There was suddenly a stinging pain on my neck. I yelped until a sudden loud gunshot rang in my ear. I automatically fell to the ground and saw Catherine's body tumble next to mine. Someone supported my head and I saw Jimin's alarmed look as he scanned my face and body. My eyes slowly closed and opened them again as Jimin suddenly lifted me. The middle of my neck felt like it was draining of life. Taehyung, who had suddenly showed up, had a gun in his hand. They both reassured that I was fine but Jimin's jacket was being pressed against my neck.

"You're fine, it's okay." Jimin laid me down in one of the empty bedrooms in the mansion. The others suddenly bursted through the door crowding me with questions I couldn't answer. Amanda slightly lifted my chin.

"You were lucky, she didn't give you a deep cut."

I saw Namjoon dragging Catherine's unconscious body with his chains as he stopped to ask where he would tie her up. My head was being forcefully propped up, I could see Hoseok's white eyes and his black tears running down his face.

"This is going to hurt. Hold her down," Amanda warned. He turned my chin so I could only face him. Jimin never lost his focus on me.

"You're okay. Just look at me, okay?" I tried to distract myself by looking at his face as the pain suddenly overwhelmed me. I was aware that they were more than 10 people in the room but my screams and tears of pain were almost unbearable. The overwhelming pain suddenly made me weak. The last thing I heard was Jimin begging me not to close my eyes.

As I slowly awoke, my eyes searched the room and saw Taehyung sitting in the corner staring down at the gun in his hand.

"We had to make Jimin leave the room." Taehyung sent a copy of himself to go and retrieve the others.

"What happened?" I hoarsely whispered. He gave me a cup of water. The refreshing liquid relieved my dry throat.

"Catherine nearly slashed your neck and killed you. Luckily I shot her with this bullet but she did minor damage," he walked over and handed me a bullet. It looked like a normal bullet to me. "It can knock out even the most powerful creatures for a solid 3 hours."

Yoongi suddenly popped up first.

"The others should be arriving-" he reassured me. Before he could finish his sentence, the door bursted open. But it wasn't Jimin.
