chapter twelve

At around midnight that night, Jiwoo woke up She lay quiet in bed staring into the darkness, her hands folded on her stomach just below her ribs. She could feel her heart racing as a million thoughts ran through her mind. Thoughts about Rosé. About her father. About Jungkook and everything she was told about him. And about Jackson, whether or not she should kill him or disobey her orders. He, after all, didn't kill Jungkook.

Her mind wandered through many things as the darkness around her stayed quiet. Jiwoo shook off her thoughts and climbed out of bed. She didn't bother to put her boots on and padded quietly to the door. She pressed her ear to the door to hear if there was anyone out there and waited a couple seconds. When she didn't hear any noises, she opened the door softly cringing when it creaked lowly.

Jiwoo peered out of the door and looked around making sure there was no one around. She guessed she was the only one in the house based on how quiet it was. Still, she stayed quiet as she went to the basement door. She took a deep breath and opened the door. She flicked on the light and made her way down the stairs.

Jiwoo had no idea why she even came down here, but she felt like she had to. She grabbed the stool against the wall and placed it by the cage that held Jungkook and sat upon it. She felt a chill run up her spine when Jungkook looked up at her with a smirk.

"Hello, dear sister," he said. "Back so soon?"

Jiwoo grit her teeth and said nothing as her eyes locked with his piercing red ones. Everything about him was different now. His body language, attitude, and even his voice seemed to be deeper, darker even. It was scary. Not to mention his eyes now showed zero hints of humanity. Everything that had once made him human was now gone. He had truly turned into a monster.

Jungkook cocked his head to the side, his eyebrows raising. "What? Not even going to say 'hi' or 'I miss you, brother. I'm so glad you're alive'? I'm truly hurt."

"I just..." Jiwoo paused, her breath hitching as Jungkook's eyes flashed a bright red. She looked away from his gaze, her fingers nervously interlocking with each other. "You're...a monster now."

The rogue vampire feigned a painful groan as he held his chest. Jiwoo twitched hearing the silver shackles burn Jungkook's skin when he moved. "How could you call your own twin brother a monster? I thought you'd be glad to see me alive. Turns out, you don't care." His expression darkened. "I can see it on your face, Jiwoo. You actually care for that weak little vampire who damned my life, don't you? What would dad say? More importantly, what would mom say?"

Jiwoo frowned. "You're wrong. I don't care about him."

"No? Then why is he still alive? He kidnapped you and is keeping you here. He's keeping your dear brother trapped and you chose to keep him alive?" Jiwoo kept quiet as he spoke. "Could it be you've grown soft, sister?"

Jiwoo shook her head. "No—"

"You could become stronger, you know," Jungkook said cutting Jiwoo off. "It's crazy how much power you gain after you kill the vampire who made you." He smirked yanking at the chains. Jiwoo cringed hearing his skin sizzle as the silver cuffs burned his wrists. "The only miserable thing about having this much power is the thirst."

Jiwoo shrunk away from the cage feeling Jungkook's sharp gaze piercing through her. If he were to break out of his cell now, she would become his next meal.

"Join me, sister. Together we could rule the world," he said.

She frowned. She wanted nothing more than to be with her brother again. But was it worth becoming a monster too?

"I—" she started before she was cut off by Jackson yanking her off of the stool.

"What are you doing down here?" Jackson asked shouting.
