Make me fly again

Chapter 9: Awake

We both leave and go back into the great hall. Jimin is standing in the middle of the hall, head down, covered in dirt and blood.

"Oh God Jimin what happened?"
I rush towards him to see if he's okay but he just grabs me by the neck and pushes me away. Jungkook chuckles.

"God had nothing to do with this. And don't you ever dare call me by my name again, Slave."
My eyes widen in shock at how deep and husky his voice sounds all of a sudden.

I nod and apologise.
"I'm terribly sorry, Master. Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
Jimin starts laughing hysterically, which has a very unsettling sound to it.

"Oh puppy, you're so pure and innocent, I almost feel bad for you." His words have a bittersweet taste to them.

I turn back to Jungkook who seems to really enjoy the Drama, assuming from his big sadistic grin.

"I told you he was out for hunt. That's most likely not his blood. Even though it's been a while since he came back this dirty. He must've been distracted by something."

Jungkook doesn't really seem to care so he just goes down the left hallway towards the slave rooms. I follow him.
Behind the heavy door at the end of the hallway are busy people rushing towards all directions.
It is a big, squared room with many small, simple beds in it and other doors which lead to God knows where.

Jungkook leads me through one of them into a big yet simple kitchen.
Why would a Vampire even need a kitchen though? Can Vampires even eat anything besides blood?

I look around and notice a dead body laying on the kitchen counter. I turn around. I feel sick from looking at the corpse, yet a warm feeling starts building up in my body.

Jungkook on the other hand doesn't seem bothered by the dead man laying in the kitchen. He grabs a pair of rubber gloves and walks towards him. I can't bear to turn around and look at what he's doing.

The smell of blood reaches my nose and the warm feeling in my body seems to intensify. I don't know what it is but it feels like something's trying to take control of my body.

I let out a growl and my sight falls black.
"...Taehyung!" Jungkooks scream seems far away.

I wake up in Jimins bed, chained up by my wrists and and ankles.

I try to move; no chance. I look around and see Jimin sitting on the other side of the room watching me thoroughly.

"Ah, we finally woke up did we? " there's amusement audible in his voice.
"What happened? Why am I chained up?" my voice breaks while I'm speaking.

"Whom allowed you to ask any questions?!" Jimins voice has a sharp tone. I flinch.

Jimin scares me.
"I'm sorry, Master."

He slightly smiles. "Good boy."

He stands up and walks towards me. He stops right next to the bed and looks at me. His smile is creeping me out.

"I knew you've had a monster inside of you, Kim Taehyung."
He laughs.
I'm not sure if that's supposed to answer any of my questions since it only confuses me more.

Jimin must've seen the confused look in my eyes.
"Oh puppy. Innocent, precious little puppy. You really have no idea what's going on do you?"

I shake my head. He starts laughing again.
"Do you have any memories of what happened in the kitchen earlier?"

I think for a moment. There isn't much, I just entered the kitchen with Jungkook, saw the body and blacked out.
"I do recall blacking out after I saw the corpse on the kitchen counter."

Jimin starts giggling. Not the fun kind of giggling but a knowing giggle.
"'Blacking out' isn't quite the right term. 'Loosing control' would be more fitting."

He looks at me with amusement. He seems to really enjoy my helplessness.
"Loosing control of what...?"

I take the risk of being punished for asking a question unpermitted but I need to know.
Jimin just sights and walks over to the chair next to the desk. He sits down and looks at me. His gaze is really intense.

"I thought you would've figured by now. I already told you that you're a vampire, my little puppy. What do you think it means to be a vampire?"

I shiver rushes down my spine.
"Drinking blood and staying out of the sunlight?" It was more a question than an answer.

"Basically, yes. Vampires do require Blood to stay alive. As blood is essential for our existence, we have certain instincts when it comes to hunting. They usually don't show that easily and only unexperienced Vampires loose control of them."

The pieces of the puzzle in my mind start to form a picture.

"So, when I blacked out...lost control...did that have to do with those instincts?"
Jimin chuckles.

"Yes my puppy. Your Instincts took over. It was quite entertaining even though you left all of us hungry."

God please tell me I didn't kill anyone.
"Did...Did I attack anyone?"
Jimin seems to be thinking for a second.
"No, not really. You ate our breakfast by yourself and pushed everyone aside that tried to stop you. Quite impressive for a new vampire like you to have such strength."

I don't know how to feel. I ate someone? I really ate someone? I feel sick and disgusted by myself.
I try to sit up but the chains keep me down on the bed.

Jimin chuckles. "I can't let you go just yet. You haven't received your punishment my little puppy. "
A wide grin forms on his face as he steps closer to the bed. I don't know what to expect as punishment but being chained up on a bed is clearly not a good sign.
