Bite Vs. Bark

Necklace

Taehyung's POV
I had gotten back to my clan and quarters without running into someone else. It was good, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to deal with this without... Hurting her, even though she acts like she doesn't care I can see that she does. I called Namjoon and he comes into the room a few minutes later. "What's wrong Taehyung?" He asked walking in. "I've hit stage three." I respond. His eyes widen. "That's... Not good..." He mutters. I shake my head. "How can K keep my hormones in check? I don't wanna do something I'll regret, and I don't want to hurt her?" I explained as I gripped the bed I was sitting in. "I.... Don't know... Maybe... Talk to her?" He says hesitantly. "What if she doesn't want to talk?" I ask and he can only shrug. "Why is she so stubborn?" I asked falling to lay on my back. "I think she's scared." Namjoon responds. I ponder this for a moment. "Scared? Scared of what? Scared of me? Scared of finding her soulmate?" I asked. "I think she's scared of her own feelings. I mean she must be feeling conflicted and/or confused." He explained. I raised my hand and move in a gesture saying to keep explaining. "I mean just months before this you guys HATED each other. You sent a werewolf to kill her parents. She's probably confused and how she's supposed to feel about you. Her heart is telling her that she has to love whole her mind is telling her that she should still hate you, the main thing being the fact that you had her parents killed. I'm sure her heart argues the fact that if you hadn't done that you guys would've never found out you're Soulmates, but her mind probably counters back with, if he hadn't killed them we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place!" He ventures. I stay silent. "Her mind is saying "I hate him" while her heart.... Her heart is saying "I love him"." Namjoon finishes. I hear the door open and shut. I sit up and that he had left. "Is that really what they're telling you (Yn)?" I questioned aloud looking out my window.

Your POV
It's not that painful yet, I can handle this. But then again.... Marisol said it gets worse as the stages go. "Maybe I should just accept it." I whisper, then I realize there is something cold around my neck. I take my and hand grab it. It's a necklace. I gently take it off my neck and look at it. It's a... Bloodred paw. My head suddenly starts to hurt.

~Flashback~
I was lost, and I was scared. "Mom and dad said never to go too far into the forest.... But I wanted to know.... But now I don't know how to get home." I said out loud. I heard rustling and froze. "W-who's there? I-I'm not sc-scared of y-you!" I stuttered. Yelling at myself mentally for obviously being scared. "That's a lie. You stuttered. You're obviously scared... But you don't need to be, I'm not gonna hurt you." A voice responds. I see a figure come up from the bushes. He walks toward me. "Hi, I'm Taehyung. Taehyung Claw. You can call me Tae Tae." He said holding out his hand without a smile that is shaped like a box. Isn't he the cutest thing ever. I notice the ears and my eyes widen. "Yo-you're a... Werewolf...." I said backing away from him. "You're a vampire?" He asked. I freeze, then slowly nod. He pauses for a moment. "Well, seeming that you haven't attacked me. I think we'll get along just fine." He says smiling again. "I never got your name." He said. "I-I'm..... Im (Yn). (Yn) Fangs." I responded. "(Yn)... Cute name for a cute girl." He replies with a wink. I look down hiding a blush. "So what are you doing all the way out here?" He asked me. "I.... I got lost... And I don't know how to get home." I responded. "I'm sorry... If it helps..... Probably not... But I'm lost too." He says coming to stand next to me. "At least I'm not lost all alone." I replied. "How old are you?" He asked. "I'm fourteen." I responded. "I'm fifteen." He said. I smiled at him and we talked for hours. After awhile I was getting tired. "Are you tired?" He asked, turning his head to look at me. We were sitting up against a tree. I nod and yawn. "Your home is that way." He said and pointed. "How did you--" I start. "I knew.... I just... Wanted..... to keep talking.... to you..." He replied looking down. I smiled. I open my mouth to speak when I hear a shout. "CLAW TAEHYUNG WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH A VAMPIRE!" A voice shouted. His eyes widen. He looks at me. He places something in my hand then gets up. "I hope we'll always be friends, Fangs." He tells me quietly before walking away. I look at the necklace. It was a bloodred paw.
~flashback end~

We really were friends when we were younger. I smile looking at the necklace. Then frown remembering what he told me had happened afterward. They hurt him. I put it back on. I don't know what to do... My heart says I love him that much I know. But my mind is telling me the opposite, I don't know what to do! What do I do?
