| CHAPTER EIGHT
Taehyung paces back and forth around the room, jumping at every small bump, creak, or bird noise he can hear. He can't sleep, every time Taehyung closes his eyes, all he can think of is the horrid beast, feeding off the flesh of another man. The boy can't help but think, the monster will be back for revenge, to shut him up from going to the police. Taehyung can't fathom, why the beast left them alone, after killing that man and supposedly all his friends.
"Taehyung?" A gruff voice asks, Taehyung jumps, yelping, only to see it's Jungkook, now also awake at this ungodly hour. "Why are you still up?" He asks, walking over and gently holding Taehyung in place.
Taehyung sighs, looking away from the younger's gaze, "I... I keep thinking about it." Jungkook gives Taehyung a sympathetic look, caressing the elder's arm.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay, you'll join him too," he whispers, making Taehyung pull away from his roommate.
"W-what?" Taehyung shakes his head, in the dimly moonlight lit room, Taehyung can see Jungkook's twisted, bloody, toothy smile. And those soulless eyes, which pull him in again. He doesn't look like Jungkook anymore.
"Don't worry, you'll be okay," he whispers, in a greasy voice, cornering Taehyung against their kitchen counter. "Well, you won't be okay, but I will," he sighs, the elder can hear the sickening crunch, of the monster's jaw unhinging, dislocating itself.
"AHHH!" Taehyung screams, falling from his bed, cold sweat dripping from every pore in his body. He can hear all his friends rush to turn on lights, bringing the room from it's plunging darkness.
"Taehyung! What's wrong?" Jungkook asks, also falling from his bed, to help aid Taehyung. The elder screams once more, moving back into Seokjin and Jimin, leaving everyone confused, while Jungkook slowly retracts his hand away from Taehyung. "Y-y-you! You're the beast!" Taehyung accuses, pointing his finger at Jungkook.
"I'm what?" Jungkook asks, although on in the inside, his blood is running cold.
[They've found you out, might as well kill them all.]
{The kid has had a fucking nightmare, you dimwit. Stop trying to kill everyone.}
"Y-you... In my dream..." Taehyung stutters, trying to make sense of his surroundings.
"Deep breaths, what are you trying to say?" Seokjin asks, resting a hand on Taehyung's back, while the younger slowly starts to calm down.
"It... It was just a dream," Taehyung breaths out, holding a hand tightly to his chest. "I just had a dream... That Jungkook was the monster," Taehyung explains, through taking massive gulps of air.
Jimin gives a sigh of relief, "it's okay, it was just a dream. Jungkook's human, Seokjin's human, I'm human, you're human, we're all human. Nothing to worry about."
