DMBI - Fragments of a Summin

Chapter Nineteen

Jimin looks over, eyes wide. "Jungkook!" The boy looks up at Jimin and tries to say something but Jimin doesn't hear it. All he's focused on is the pain in his leg as blood starts pooling at his feet. He stumbles and almost falls but catches himself on the blinds next to him.

Yoongi is stuck between holding a hand around his demon's neck, pressing him into a wall, and trying to shoot spells at the one attacking Namjoon.

Jimin watches in horror as Jungkook coughs, spitting out blood. "Kookie! Fuck... Stay with me, Kook! Please!!"

Yoo won laughs. "You're too funny... This is why emotional connections are bad in our world, Jimin. They make you weak. Soft." She holds a hand to Jimin's neck and Jimin can't breathe. Pain is rushing through his veins from her hand and blood is rushing to his head. Everything hurts.

Jungkook's eyes flutter shut and Jimin cries out in pain, anger, desperation, fear, he's not even sure at this point. He grabs Yoo Won's forearm in two hands and snaps it down on his knee. He knows she's way stronger than him so all he can hope is that it's twisted, maybe sprained.

She cries out and glares at him. "You're gonna pay for that, you fucking human!"

"I'm not a human." Jimin glares, "I'm a summin."

He jumps high as her other hand raises. He grabs a hold of the blind and uses it to pull himself impossibly higher and steer slightly, so he lands behind her. Namjoon sees and kicks Jimin the knife he'd dropped before. As the younger lands, he stumbles, grabbing the knife and before thinking he shoves it hard into the woman's back, right between two vertebrae. She cries out and he pulls it out quickly.

Yoo won turns, eyes black now, like Yoongi's, but colder. Dead, like they are bottomless pits. They don't shine like Yoongi's do. She raises a hand to Jimin's neck again and he's so shocked at what he just did he stays frozen in place.

Namjoon shouts his name, but he can barely hear anything over the thumping of his own heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Jungkook slump into the floor, losing consciousness. Is he dead? Jimin doesn't want to think that but he can't help himself.

She killed him. This woman just killed his best friend. No, not a woman. A thing. Just like Hobi had said. This thing doesn't have a soul.

He lets out a strangled cry, tears pouring down his face, and stabs her chest. He pulls the knife out and stabs her again. Anywhere he can reach. He's blinded by hatred and his own tears. "You disgusting fucking demon! Soulless bitch!! I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you!!!" With every phrase he sobs out, he stabs the knife in harder. "I fucking hate demons!! You've made my life a fucking hell!! I wish I'd never met you!!!"

Everyone else in the room freezes. Jaws all dropped.

"Chim..." Yoongi looks at Jimin and the younger blinks as if coming out of a daze. He gulps looking down at his warm, sticky, blood-covered hands. He watches as the woman in front of him crumples to the floor. His eyes grow even wider. She is very dead...

Yoongi feels the knife pierce his wing again and he growls, turning and twisting the man's head so hard you can hear the neck snap.

Namjoon uses the distraction to touch a palm to his demon's forehead and he falls asleep immediately.

Yoongi runs to Jimin as the knife drops out of the younger's hands. He stumbles, legs buckling beneath him and Yoongi catches him just in time. His wings closing themselves back into invisibility and his eyes losing their black colour.

"It's okay, Jimin, it's okay..." He hugs the boy to his chest and strokes his hair.

"N-No it's not... I just... I just killed a... A p... a p-p... person..." Jimin starts hyperventilating and Yoongi clenches his jaw. He hates that Jimin has to be involved in this world now. Why had he ever thought turning him was a good idea?. He isn't made for this life. Yoongi has known that all along, but he's ignored it. Maybe he really has grown too fucking soft. Or too fucking selfish.
