| CHAPTER ELEVEN
Jimin walks into the room, to see Taehyung huddled up in a mass of blankets, and Jungkook looking out the window. He very sleepily rubs his eyes, "guys, it's too late for this," he groans, startling both boys, making Taehyung scream.
"How'd you get in?" Jungkook asks, leaving his space at the window.
Jimin puts his hands up, "woah, Taehyung gave me a key ages back," Jimin says. Jungkook eyes the boy suspiciously, before nodding.
"You two, stay up here. And don't look out the windows, at any cost," Jungkook growls, before existing the room. The boy silently jogs down the hall, as the clicking and groaning in his head grows louder and louder.
Jungkook almost jumps down a flight of steps, in his rush to get out of the building. When Jungkook gets out into the open, he runs around the building to the back, looking out into the middle of the field. The clicking in his head hisses loudly, becoming almost unbearable.
Jungkook twitches his head, he can feel his grip on reality slipping. It feels as though his beast is being pulled from his bones, being forced to show itself. The monster is able to hold off, although he can very uncomfortably feel the black goo, streaming down his cheeks, as he tries to maintain self control, and not turn into the beast.
It's like with every click that rings in his head, he can feel the beast come forward. His eyes try to turn their deep space black, at it's own will.Project One stands in the field, staring at Jungkook, her messy hair covering most of her face, as Jungkook thinks she's looks like the little girl from out of The Ring. The clicking turns into harsh blood curdling screams, as Jungkook's eyes fill with the goo, he can feel his hunting teeth start to shed through, as the overwhelming urge to kill, takes over him. The beast doesn't understand it, how the little clicking noise somehow makes sense in his mind, translating into words, or rather, urges.
Jungkook closes his eyes tightly, shaking his head, blocking his ears, in an attempt to plug out the outside world. The clicking halts at once in his head, and when Jungkook opens his eyes again, Project One is missing, gone without a trace. With her, the urge to kill.Jungkook can feel the goo, cry out of his eyes, his hunting teeth, slowly revert back to human teeth, as he calms down.

"I want to see what's going on," Jimin sighs angrily, ignoring the younger boy's protest.
Taehyung shakes his head, a frown planted on his face, "Jungkook told us not to!" He reiterates, holding tightly onto Jimin.
Jimin rolls his eyes, "I'm not believing every word that comes out of Jungkook's mouth, I barely know him," he points out, standing up, easily slipping out of Taehyung's grasp. Jimin struts over to the blinds, specifically, the one Jungkook was looking out of, pulling it up. Only to reveal nothing. Taehyung's breath hitches in his throat. "I think your roommate is delusional, there's nothing out here," Jimin jokes, turning to Taehyung.
Taehyung's eyes widen, a soft clicking noise fills the room. Jimin abruptly turns back to the window, falling back and almost hitting his head, upon seeing a wicked, blood stricken, toothy smile. Taehyung is unable to scream, as he looks away, covering his eyes. The girl has the same deep black eyes as the other beast, although she somehow looks scarier. Her mouth is ripped more, pulled in awkward places, and it looks as if her tears have burning into her skin, with massive streaking scars, running down her cheeks.
Jimin crawls back, getting up to scurry over to Taehyung. Only when he turns around, the beast women is now inside, hovering over Taehyung, the quiet clicking noise, never ceasing. She lifts a clawed hand, bringing it down to play with Taehyung's hair. Jimin shuts his eyes, rubbing them hard, trying to believe it's all a dream.
Taehyung screams for the umpteenth time the night, when the door starts shaking. Project One whips around, seeing the turning door nob, and in the blink of an eye.She's gone.
Jungkook steps in the room, seeing Taehyung crying on the couch, he runs to the boy's aid. "Taehyung, it's okay. Everything's fine," Jungkook whispers, running over to Taehyung to help him. Jimin still standing in fear in the kitchen, Jungkook looks up at the boy, seeing the window blinds behind him open. "Why are those blinds open?" Jungkook asks, pointing behind Jimin, while securely holding onto Taehyung.
"I... I thought you were bullshitting me... I wanted to see if anything was out there," Jimin admits, looking down at the floor.
Jungkook eyes the boy, "did you see her?" He asks, earning a nod from both boys. "She's a failed creation, from the lab I work at. I was just on the phone with Chanwoo, he said it's fine, she can just sometime manipulate the minds of those who have seen her. And well, those around them too," Jungkook reassures, softly caressing Taehyung's head. "It's kind of like mass hysteria sort of thing," he simplifies. Taehyung nods, taking deep breaths of air to calm himself down.
Jimin sighs, "it's probably really scary 'cause all the lights are off," he mentions, noticing the only form of light is coming from the paused T.V. "Let's get some lights on," he says, flipping on all the switches.
Taehyung looks up at Jungkook in the new found light, gasping at the sight. Jungkook has big black smudges running down his cheeks, like he's been crying with mascara on. "Jungkook, what happened?" Taehyung asks, sitting up to tend to the boy's face. The elder runs his finger along Jungkook's cheek, cupping the boy's face.
Jungkook looks down at Taehyung's thumb, seeing the black goo that smudges them. "It's just some side effects, it's okay," Jungkook quickly reassures. Mentally cursing himself for not even trying to wash his face, before coming back up to the room.
"Are you sure?" Taehyung asks.
Jungkook sighs, almost hating how caring Taehyung is sometimes, "yes, it's fine."
