Blood Tie

Chapter 5

Rox's POV

As Kai began to pull me out of the infirmary by my hand, I suddenly felt my other hand being grabbed and pulled back. In pulling me back, Kai was stopped as well, her back going rigid, showing her apparent anger at being stopped. I looked back and saw Jungkook holding onto my hand looking lost. I looked back at Kai who was now turning slowly towards me with anger in her eyes. Before Kai could say anything, I spoke.

"Kai he doesn't have anyone else and doesn't know what's happening, I need to help him, we can't just leave him." I looked at her with pleading eyes and jutted out my lower lip, hoping it would work. Kai looked at me for a moment and then back at Jungkook, her eyes flashing orange and then back to emerald. I blinked in shock, I didn't know Kai was that angry.

"No Rox, you know what will happen, I won't allow that again." As she stated this she dragged her eyes back to me and tightened her hand around mine. She turned her back and began trying to pull me with her again. Remembering the lost look in Jungkook's eyes I tightened my hand around his and pulled back at Kai.

"No Kai, I'm helping him, you remember what it was like waking up here, not knowing anyone or anything, having no memory. Why would you strand someone in this situation when you could knowingly help them." I pulled my hand out of Kai's grasp and stood next to Jungkook, looking up at his shocked face and then back to Kai. "We can both help him Kai."

"Rox, you know what will happen when he finds out, I won't let him do what Changkyun did to you," Kai looked at Jungkook and snarled, "I won't let him break you like Changkyun did, and he will, they all do."

"Kai, I realize you want to protect me but I need to do this, with or without your consent." I looked into Kai's eyes and braced myself for her anger. Kai looked at me, eyes flicking to Jungkook and then back to me. Her eyes softened slightly and it looked like all the anger left her as her rigid posture disintegrated.

"Alright Rox, we will help him, just be aware of what could happen and Kook, if you hurt her," Kai's eyes flashed orange and her fangs showed, "I will rip you to shreds, make no mistake, so if you want to leave her, you best do it before she gets attached to you." I felt my face flame up and quickly dropped Jungkook's hand that I realized I had still been grasping tightly.

"Thanks Kai, could you call Loki and Rowan and ask them to bring Taehyung with? The shops don't open till Monday and Jungkook might be able to borrow clothes from Taehyung." Kai laughed loudly and appeared gleeful at the prospect of getting to torment Taehyung. Her fangs receded and eyes went back to their normal emerald color.

"No problem, I'll get them to bring Prince Bitch, I'll be back in a second." She then left me and Jungkook to go and call Loki and Rowan. Jungkook sat on one of the infirmary beds, looking worn out. He then looked up and me with a tired look in his eyes.

"Is there a reason your friend hates me without knowing me?" I looked at him for a moment, mind flashing back to the day Changkyun betrayed me.

"She is protective, it's not you she hates, it's the possibility of you doing the same thing to me as someone else did. She really is very kind and a wonderful friend, she can just be overprotective at times." He snorted lightly at that statement.

"Overprotective is an understatement." He then dropped into silence and had a hard, serious look on his face. Needing to lighten the mood, knelt in front of him and peered up into his eyes. His eyes widened a bit at me kneeling in front of him. I then crossed my eyes and puffed up my upper lip. He looked shocked for a moment before bursting out into loud laughter. Smiling at the fact that I got him to laugh, I sat next to him on the bed. He then looked at me, laughter still dancing in his eyes and a wide smile on his face. I liked his smile, he had dimples that poked out adorably when he laughed and smiled and I hadn't noticed until now that he had bunny teeth.

"Thank you, I needed that." He looked away with a small smile still playing at his lips.

"It's no problem, you should smile and laugh more, I liked seeing you like that. You have a great smile." I said much to my surprise and apparently to his surprise as well. He looked at me with a strange look in his eyes but before I could ask what he was thinking, Kai came back into the room.

"Loki said they are on their way with Prince Bitch in tow. What happened while I was gone?"

I looked at Kai who appeared calm again and content at the promise of Taehyung coming here.

"Oh nothing, I just did the face at Jungkook."

"Oof, not the face, jeesh I'm sorry you had to endure that Kook, next time just poke her in the side, her ass will fly across the room and she'll stop giving you that ugly ass look for the moment." Kai laughed out loud at her statement as my face heated in embarrassment. Jungkook looked at me curiously and before I could scoot away, managed to poke me in the side, tickling me without any effort. I squealed unattractively and bolted from my seat to a safe corner of the room. Kai fell to the floor, rolling around in laughter and holding her sides as if afraid she would split. Jungkook put a hand over his mouth, trying and failing to stifle his laughter at my reaction. I felt my face heat up in irritation at being laughed at but before I could scold the both of them, Rowan walked into the room. Following closely behind her was Loki and Taehyung. Taehyung looked down at Kai rolling on the floor and groaned.

"Why is she here?," Taehyung whined to no one in particular. Kai got up off the ground and waltzed up to Taehyung, draping her arm across his shoulders.

"Hey Prince Bitch, how's it hanging?" Taehyung growled lowly at her and shoved her arm off of his shoulders. Loki closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose while Rowan snorted at their interaction. Jungkook appeared confused and out of place. I made my way out of my corner and back over to sit next to him on the bed, patting his hand in reassurance.

"What is the purpose of me being here Kai?" Taehyung looked at Kai with an eyebrow raised and his arms crossed in front of him, sighing in exasperation.

"Well Prince Bitch, that is the reason you're here." Kai then pointed directly next me, everyone's gazes followed her finger to rest directly on Jungkook.

Yay new characters!
