the wolf in me / markhyuck

{13}

7:24 PM, Mark's Place (Day 5/10)

Mark slammed the door as he walked into the house, putting the grocery bags onto the kitchen counter. He started to unpack the different foods and set them where they belonged, too angry to notice how hard he was shoving the groceries, he accidentally hit a glass mug, the shattering noise ringing through his ears as he looked down to the floor while watching everything separate into tiny pieces.

"FUCKING HELL!" He shouted, slamming his hand down onto the counter, muttering a string of curses as he watched flames run its way through the kitchen.

The rest of the boys came running down the stairs, hearing a strong whoosh from the flames.

"Mark! What the hell did you do?!" Chenle shouted, looking at all of the flames that sparked in the air.

"I-I'm sorry, I c-can't. I don't know!" He yelled back as he screamed, a loud piercing scream that anyone would be afraid of.

One of the boys quickly ran to get a fire extinguisher but soon stopped when they saw what was happening, all of the boys frozen in their spots as their eyes widened.

Blue and black sparkles surrounded Mark as they spun in a circle, but this time, no longer a peaceful and calm swirl. It was fast and acted like it was angry at something but what made the boys almost scream their lungs out, was the fact that Mark was a different kind of wolf now.

Still the 5-foot tall wolf, but no longer a calm one. No, this was something else.

This wolf was a loud, messed up, growling beast.

It looked the exact same, but the emotions were off.

Mark was growling at the boys, the big white teeth that could easily cut off an arm on full display.

The boys gulped, the flames still staying in the same exact spot they were, completely still. Before they knew it, Mark was out of the house, running off to who knows where.

The flames died down as soon as he left the house, fortunately, it left no marks around the kitchen at all.

"Shit! He has fucking super speed?!" Jeno yelled, going crazy after the events that just took place.

Jaemin rolled his eyes, making sure it was very clear that he did. "Dumbass, of course he would have that."

"Don't you talk back to me lik-"

"Both of you! Shut up! We need to find Mark, nobody wants to hear your bickering right now. Solve your little problem later." Jisung snapped, shaking his head as he ran out the door with Renjun and Chenle.

Jeno and Jaemin soon ran up behind them, catching up.

Donghyuck laid down on the stone ground, calmly watching the waterfall direct it's way through the cracks of the rocks. The sun that was slowly going down, shining upon the water as it glistened in the light.

A loud rustling was heard coming from the trees, and Donghyuck knew that Mark was going to try to talk to him again. He rolled his eyes as he continued to watch the waterfall.

In the corner of Donghyuck's eye, there stood the 5-foot tall wolf, face constructed into a massive snarl. The boys eyes widened as he made eye contact with the wolf, slowly moving towards him.

The piercing blue eyes that looked straight through the other boy, who was scared for his life as you might say, were something that Donghyuck definitely couldn't get used to, at least not now.

The wolf ran straight up to Donghyuck, stopping about 2 inches away from his face as they made eye contact. More rustling came from the trees, and Donghyuck could see the boys rushing towards them but stopped a good distance away.

"Guys, this doesn't look too good." Jaemin shook his head.

Donghyuck slowly backed up, his body still in a laying position as he was propped up by his hands. The wolf only got closer each time Donghyuck moved away.

Not knowing what was behind him, Donghyuck's palm sliced through a sharp stone, the blood rushing out of his hand as he let out a loud, high pitched scream full of pain.

The wolf shook his head, and now Mark was back to his human form. His face changed into an expression of worry, so much worry that he wasn't even sure if he would be able to look at the younger boy.

Donghyuck made eye contact with Mark, his cold eyes looking into the older's worry-filled ones.

Mark attempted to reach his hand out to Donghyuck but missed due to the younger rushing to move away.

"Don't touch me! Don't!" The younger had tears coming out of his eyes, his hand wasn't the problem right now.

"Let me heal you." Mark said in a soft tone, his hand now resting against the ground.

"I'm fine." Donghyuck answered, his voice filled with coldness and anger as he pulled his hand farther away.

"Donghyuck."

"No."

"I SAID LET ME HEAL YOU!" Mark shouted, the secret place becoming as quiet as ever. The moment he finished his demand, he returned back to a wolf that snarled.

The boys lips shook as tears went down his cheeks, identical to the way the waterfall went down the rocks. He slowly held his hand out as the wolf made its way over to him.

The wolf set its paw gently onto the gash, a blue light sparkling against his skin as he winced in pain.

And just like that, the gash was gone.

The boys stood there, in fear of what was coming next, although they had a feeling that they already knew.

Mark turned back into himself, looking away from the younger boy.

"T-thank you." Donghyuck's voice was small.

"Don't bother." He swiftly turned back into his wolf form as he walked away, disappearing into the trees.
