Choice [EXO AU][Vampire]

Chapter 17

~Yin's POV~

"Our choice is... that..." I knew it was Chen! What was happening? If I survive this I need serious answers! The man gripping my hair countered my friends' voices. I flinched at every word.

"Hurry boys! Times ticking~" I could hear him smirking as his voice echoed through my head.

"W-We..." Kyungsoo mumbled.

"Y-You..." The Man mimicked his voice, ".. Choose the second option?"

"No," Suho spoke sternly. "We choose the third option." What the hell did that mean...?!

All rationality left my mind as my survival instincts kicked in. I trashed and struggled as hard as I could against the iron-like arms that pinned me down. That seemed to loosen his grip a bit, but I thought wrong. In a matter of seconds, I was pinned against a cold, wall with a vice-like grip around my neck. I couldn't help but stare in terror into the deep, maroon eyes that threatened me. 

I could see from the corner of my eyes all 9 boys, glancing between me, the horrid man almost strangling me and the 3 guys who had... kidnapped me. Out of nowhere, the man's grip lessened into nothing and I stood on shaking legs. 

"You have 11 days, otherwise I'll do a lot more than kill this girl." He huffed and walked out of a door to the side of the room. The 3 boys from before followed him, but not before giving me creepy smirks of their own. As soon as they left, my weak legs failed me and the shock of everything that had happened hit me at once; I felt faint and dizzy as I slid down the rocky wall and knelt on the floor, my head drooped down. 

The sound of frantic footsteps surrounded me and I couldn't tell who was saying what anymore. My hearing was foggy and all words seemed to merge and slur together.

"Yin? Yin? Talk to us, can you hear me?"

"Yin! Are you hurt? Yin?"

"Of course she's hurt, idiot! Will she be okay?"

"She's in shock, give her some space! We need to get her back to the house."

"I'll carry her, but how are we gonna explain all of this..?"

"We'll think of that when she comes round... After all....."

With that, my eyes also fell asleep. The smudgy world merged into my dreams.

~Lay's POV~

Kai was carrying Yin. She looked peaceful as she slept, even with the cuts and tangled hair. She still looked beautiful. I was planning to heal her when we got back, her wounds could become infected easily and I'd like to know what had happened to her. 

I'm pretty sure none of us actually understood our situation. We had 11 days to turn the girl that we all had a crush on into... a monster. Who would do it? 

How..? 

How would we tell her everything? First things first, I needed to clean her up, heal her and maybe find her a change of clothes. 

I still can't believe we dragged her into this. Hopefully, she'd understand for all of our sake.

The scent of her blood was omnipotent in the air that surrounded us and I was amazed at how controlled Kai seemed to be. It was still dark outside, the clouds loomed thick and foggy; you could barely make out the glowing body of the moon from behind them. There was the slightest breeze as we walked out from the forest, the silhouetted trees lurked everywhere like skeletons. There was nothing to be afraid of though... Nothing apart from Yin's reaction when she wakes up, and the answers she'll be wanting. Never mind some mental comfort for what the other 3 have done to her. 

On the back to the house, I'm sure we all thought it... All of this trouble from being friends with a girl... From maybe silently praying, that one day it might be more than just friendship.

~Suho's POV~

I opened the door and the warmth of our house engulfed us straight away, I let Kai carry Yin to the living room while some of us went to the kitchen to make some soup for when Yin woke up or stay with Yin until she woke up. Lay obviously had to heal her wounds as he was the only one with that particular skill? Power? Yeah, power. That's another thing we were going to have to tell Yin about.

I knew I sighed aloud although nobody seemed to notice.

Lay and I followed Kai into the living room, as he lay the poor girl carefully on her back on the sofa. She looked awful, the bandages not really helping her cause. 

I took the responsibility of carefully untieing the first bandage from around her neck. There was a very rough looking bite on her neck, I knew immediately that one of them had done that to her. I know it was bad to be thinking like this but hopefully what the other 3 had done... Hadn't made her paranoid about it... I would... Along with the others I mean.. Would probably ask her if we could drink from her...

Snapping out of my thoughts I saw that Kai had untied the other bandage from around her frail wrist. That bite actually didn't look particularly bad, it still annoyed me that they had done it to her, probably without her permission as well. 

"I'll go and get changed," Kai spoke very quietly, almost under his breath as he left the room and his footsteps were heard trodding their way upstairs.

 I sat on a chair and nodded to Lay as he examined the wounds before healing them. You might've been expecting some magical sparkles to be Lay's healing power or something like that, but in reality, it just looked like he was pressing lightly onto her bite wounds. 

I made sure to be silent as not to break his concentration as he moved on to the wound on her neck. 

I saw Chen lingering out in the hallway, so I decided to check up on him. As I left the living room doorway, I noticed that Xiumin was out here too.

"Everything alright with Yin?" Chen asked as he noticed me.

"Yeah, Lay's just healing her. Other than that she'll just need cleaning up a bit." I spoke while tapping my foot on the floorboards. Then a question came to mind.

"Xiumin, could you take Baekhyun and Chanyeol with you to get a change of clothes for her? When she wakes up, she'll be wanting a shower and she'll need something to change into afterwards.

"Sure, I mean I'll call round at Jihyo's place and ask if some of them wanna tag along. I mean, they might be better at shopping for clothes than us." He chuckled under his breath.

"Okay then," I laughed a bit too. 

We all turned our heads to the kitchen as there was a crash followed by someone probably falling over and a very angry, but slightly amused, Kyungsoo yelling at everyone.

"Get the hell out of my damn kitchen if you don't want your butts kicked by a very angry me! Let me cook the damn soup in peace!!" 

Xiumin, Chen and I restrained our laughter as best we could as everyone but Kyungsoo trailed out of the kitchen one by one.
