Midnight Howl

Agate

Agate is known as a protective stone.

Yixing screamed as Sehun stumbled around the corner, blood dripping down from his temple.

"YIXING GO." The orange haired male screamed. Yixing was speechless, frozen in spot as he watched Sehun lean back against the wall, breathing heavily.

He held his gun close to his chest, took a deep breath before peering around the corner. As soon as he did that, gunshots fired. Sehun quickly pressed himself against the wall and cocked his gun, "Yixing god damn it RUN."

Yixing stumbled for the elevator, pressing the button furiously. Sehun peered around the corner and took a couple shots. Yixing fought the urge to throw up when he heard the sickening thud of a body hitting the ground.

Finally, the elevator dinged and slid open. Yixing scrambled into it, "Sehun come on!"

Sehun shook his head and peered around the corner, unloading another round of bullets, "Go Yixing, go hide. I'll hold them off."

Yixing gasped for air as the elevator door slowly shut. The last thing Yixing saw was Sehun running out of bullets, dropping his gun and pulling another out of a holster tied to his ankle.
Yixing had thought the underground network to be safe, impenetrable. The mansion itself was heavily fortified. As the numbers blinked up, Yixing tried to catch his breath.

He had to hide.

Kris couldn't help. He was in Korea.

Sehun was stuck underground.

Jongin was hurt.

Chanyeol was trying to take care of him.

The other members were isolated, fighting their own battles.

Yixing was alone.

As the elevator slid open in the mansion, Yixing quietly stepped into the dark hallway. He had been here for long enough to be able to navigate the mansion in the dark. Yixing let out a shaky breath as he focused on getting one foot in front of the other.

He'll go to his room, hide in the closet or something. He'd hide until Sehun or Tao fetched him. That was the plan. Yixing turned to go up the stairs but froze when he heard footsteps. At first he was elated. Maybe it was Sehun? Or even Baekhyun.

Then, with heavy dread, Yixing realized that the clunk of the heavy boots did not come from any of the wolf pack members.

This was someone who was out to hurt Yixing. So the dimpled male quickly scaled the stairs, trying to make the least amount of sound possible. He scrambled into his room and slowly shut the door.

He could hear the clunking of the boots come up the stairs. Yixing thought of hiding in the closet but that was too obvious of a spot. He glanced over the room, desperate for a solution, for a hiding place....for anything.

Then Yixing realized that the covers on his bed went all the way down to the floor. Yixing quickly dropped to his stomach and used his converse-clad feet to push himself underneath the bed. Just as the covers settled around him, he heard the door slowly squeak open.

Yixing held a hand over his mouth, trying to control his rapid breathing. He had to be absolutely silent. The footsteps moved around the room slowly. Agonizingly slowly. Yixing heard the closet door creak open and then be slammed shut.

Tears pooled in Yixing's big brown eyes as the feeling of impending doom washed over him. His stomach was churning, his whole body being rattled with the fear of him being discovered.
