Hidden Veil

Two-faced.

(Crystal)

"WHAT THE F*CKING HELL WAS THAT ABOUT YOU LITTLE SCHEMING BA**ARD?!" I yelled at him, mad at the little joke he played.

I swung ready to hit him but Jimin wrapped his arms around me to stop me as tears became steam as my blood pressure rose by a gazillion degree's. He kept me restrained until I calmed down and my blood pressure dropped by about a million.

JungKook however was not fazed by my reaction. He just smiled. While Jimin kept his arms around me he lent over. "Like you haven't kissed before." I looked at him shocked. Then I turned on Jimin.

"What? Crystal, what did he say?" Jimin let go and backed away.

"Crystal! He didn't say anything. I swear. Crystal! SCAR!" JungKook grabbed my attention and I swung round staring him in the eye like a predator looking at his prey.

My posture was hunched but steady. I had bent forwards. I looked JungKook hungrily in the eye and growled.

Sophia jumped forwards and side tackled me to the floor as I left forward, aiming for his throat.

Something broke inside me. I couldn't tell if it were a bone or something else. Maybe both.

Whatever it was, it sounded in my ear clearer than anyone's voice. Instead of feeling anger and hate I felt one thing.

Fear.

Then my vision swam and I couldn't see properly. I could only hear.

Shouts.

A weight being lifted off me.

Strong arms lifting me from the floor to the sofa.

My head being placed on someone's lap.

Blood roaring in my ears.

My heart racing.

Fear.

My eyes snapped open and I gazed at the ceiling. This wasn't familiar. Where was I.

"Hello. Is anyone there? Tae? Ollie? Sophia?"

A figure stepped out the shadows. Oh God. Please say it was one of Bangtan.

"Are you OK?"

"Who are you?" I asked, trying to twist my head to get a better look.

"Hold still. This won't hurt a bit."

Wait that sounded like-

I felt a needle push through my skin.

Where am I?!

The person stepped into the light so I could see them.

RM.

This must be their house. But why am I here.

I heard the door burst open and slam shut.

"RM WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?!"

"TAE? TAE! TAEHYUNG!" I shouted his name, tears welling up in my eyes.

"BACK OFF KIM TAEHYUNG! She is dangerous. You saw what happened last night. She could've killed someone."

"NO! LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE! SHE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG. SHE JUST LOST HER TEMPER THAT'S ALL!"

I couldn't see what happened next but I heard a thud and then my brother was at my side.

He checked me for any injuries or signs of pain before picking me up and taking me out the room. He carried me to the car where all the others were waiting for us. He placed me in the back of the car with Jimin and slipped next to me.

"Look. About yesterday. I'm really sorry I did that. I guess I knew you had a thing for each other and-"

"It's fine. Really. If anything, I should be apologising. I could've killed someone."

"Let's just forget about it and move on. Crystal, RM's gone crazy since the incident. He's been nonstop trying to figure out what happened. We haven't been able to see you at all.

We're moving away. Getting our own place. Us, you, Sophia and Ollie. We've already found a place and since we have been saving up for it we bought it.

It's out in the countryside and has more than enough space for all of us.

What do you think?"

Tae showed me a picture of a lovely, large house that might as well be and mansion.

"I love it. Does he know about it?"

"No. It's resides in a hidden location that he has never heard of. It isn't under anyone's radar so we're safe."

"Perfect." I muttered, curling up against Tae, drifting into a deep sleep.

I woke in a bed in a strange place.

"What is it with those boys and carrying me places while I'm unconscious?"

Well back to normal I suppose.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in." I called.

Jimin poked his head round the door.

"Glad you're finally up."

"Thanks. Did I miss anything?"

"Not really. Sophia brought your stuff. It's over there. I know we said not to mention it and you aren't very happy."

"But?"

"But could you tell me what happened to you?"

"I'm not sure I can remember how it happened."

"At least try. I mean you don't have to."

"No. I know. I want to though. It's better like that. Having someone to talk about it with.

It happened after Tae left. You see, before he left he made a promise to come back. After a whole year of waiting I grew mad. I started dropping school and instead I would go and play in the forests with the wolves and foxes.

The more I played with them, the more I became like them. Whenever I got angry, all the hate I had been building up exploded. I would become a demon of my own. All because of a brother that never came home.

Then I ran away for a time. I went to the forest. There was a drinkable stream and the animals always brought me food. I used the broken branches and some horse hair to make a bow and made arrows. I also found a vault of hidden weapons.

I never killed the wildlife with the weapons though. I didn't have the heart to.

But I earnt a hate for people. Especially gangs. I was bullied by them after Tae left. So I formed the Demons when I came out of hiding.

But I had a bigger lust for blood than ever.

Whenever I got to that level of mad my old hate came back and joined my current hate making me try and kill.

I never wore amber contacts. My eyes would turn amber from playing with amber-eyed wolves.

Wolves with amber eyes are the most violent and wildest species. I might take you to see the pack someday.

So now I'm the way I am."

Jimin just stared at me then embraced me with with a huge hug.

"I'm so sorry. Why didn't you say anything?"

"I never thought it would come to that."

"How did you survive the pain?"

"I didn't."
