A small sigh falls from your lips as you roll over in the bed and stretch out so you were covering almost every inch of the bed. You relax for a moment before your eyes shoot open and you sit up, panic filling your body. Taehyung wasn't in the bed with you- he never leaves the bed before you do, so where was he? Carefully and silently, you climb out of the bed and squint your eyes against the darkness, the only light in the room being the alarm clock that read 3am.
"Tae, where are you?" You whisper as you creep down the hall, wildly looking left and right as you make your way to the staircase. A sudden bang surprises you and causes you to jump slightly as you move down the stairs towards the garden, where you guessed the noise had come from. The door was open a crack and let in another thundering crack of metal on metal. Without hesitation, you swing open the door to see Taehyung standing still in the centre of the lawn with his wings laying limply on the ground, his full attention focused on the shed at the end of the garden where another bang rung out from.
"Is he making me a wing brace, Y/N? Does he thing that I'll go crazy or something?" Taehyung's deep voice makes you look away from the shed instantly. You hadn't made a single sound so how could he possibly know you were there? You gulp softly and make your way towards him, your eyes never once leaving his slender figure.
"It's just in case, Tae. Jimin said that you might need it so we are just being careful, you never know what could-"
"It's not as a precaution, don't try and spew that shit to me. You're all afraid of me because I somehow got my wings back. You might as well tell me the truth, Y/N, I can practically smell the fear coming from the house." Taehyung snarled, his head snapping down so his black eyes could bore into you. Your body seems to freeze on the spot as you look into his eyes and blink slowly; he was right, you were afraid.
"I'm not scared, I know you're good so you wouldn't hurt anyone." You lie quietly while your heart skips a beat as another loud crash comes from the shed. Taehyung's eyes soften momentarily when he sees you shocked by the sudden noise but harden almost as quickly again.
"We both know that's a lie. Y/N, I've hurt people and you know that as well as I do- I can't go back to a normal life and just hide my wings forever." Taehyung grumbles deeply as he glances over at the shed with an angry expression before letting out a small sigh and releasing some of his tension. He slowly looks back to you and slips his large hands around yours before smiling slightly. "I want to be free. Don't you want that too?" He whispers lightly as he gently manages the back of your hand.
"Y-Yeah, of course. It's just a bit hard when you've got wings and I'm being hunted for being the granddaughter of a powerful witch." You reply cautiously, not wanting to go Against anything he said right now. It was completely true that you were scared, but the only reason why was because Taehyung was acting stranger then usual. You scan his face and watch as the smile drops and anger washes over him. His grip on your hands tighten to the point it hurts and he glares angrily at you.
"You don't want me to be free. You're lying. That's what those excuses are for. You want me to be caged up like the beast that I am, don't you?" Taehyung spits at you as he keeps a tight hold of your hands while you try to pull yourself out of his painful grip. You yelp softly as another crack from the shed makes you jump and Taehyung's grip tightens once more. As tears fill your eyes, you look up to the blank sky and pray that somehow, your mother would help you from above- then something catches your eye.
"Tae, come on. Please let go of me, it hurts. It's a full super-moon so maybe that's messing with your head. Please let go and come to bed, I'm begging you. You're hurting me, Taehyung." You beg softly as you glance between Taehyung and the large moon, a tear rolling down your cheek as you did so. His anger only grew at the accusation and he moved his hands to grip your wrists in one of his hands and wrapped his other around your throat.
"You're holding me back, Y/N. I have a potential to be strong and you're blaming my mood on a fucking moon? Are you stupid? I'm tired of you now so I think it's time we said goodbye, don't you think? Goodbye-"
"Taehyung, I swear to god if you don't let her go right now, I will kill you on the spot." Jimin's usually soft voice had turned sour and hard as he stood in the doorway with a large shotgun in his hands. "This is exactly why we can't let you have free wings. It fucks you up, man. Just let her go and then we can go and have a little chat, okay?" Jimin continues as a choking sound rips through the air and brings both the men's attention to you.
"She doesn't want us to be free, Jiminie. She wants us locked up because we are monsters." Taehyung replies softly, his grip loosening ever so slightly on your throat. Tears roll continuously down your cheeks as you gasp for air, your eyes silently pleading for him to let you go.
"Tae, That's not true. Let her go and we can talk. Come on, you're not a bad person." Jimin smiles reassuringly at the younger demon, his eyes flicking between the two of you continually. Your eyes drift towards Jimin and you spot a second pair of worried eyes in the darkness- Jungkook. Good, Jimin brought backup. Another bang from the shed causes everyone to jump slightly before they quickly return back to their tense positions.
"Okay. You're right." Taehyung mumbles softly before dropping you to the floor like a rag-doll. You immediately start coughing and heaving for air while Jimin hurriedly leads Taehyung away. The moment they were out of sight, Jungkook rushed from the shadows to come help you as your consciousness slipped away.
