Coven | BTS 🔞

35| The longest night

Well, well. We meet again," spoked the crowned witch, her blonde hair shimmering in the moonlight.

She sent a dazzling smiled towards Namjoon.

"How is your throat?"

The coven leader smirked sarcastically, holding his neck with his hand. His face was still ghostly pale and he was trying hard to look brave.

"I'm just fine, thank you."

Namjoon and the others were gathered at the center of the glade and tightened their formation when the witches approached. Jungkook stepped right in front of Alice, shielding her with his body and for some reason it greatly annoyed her.

"Very impressive," the witch suddenly said, facing Yoongi with disinterest, "What you did back there to Judith and Sarah"

"I thought I would kill you, after the little move you pulled earlier, but I guess we could use someone like you after all."

Yoongi gritted his teeth, feeling his blood boil in his veins.

I could snap your head off right now, don't test me.

"I admit that you are quite stronger than what I thought," she continued, peering at Taehyung with an impressed gaze, "But this time, I won't underestimate you."

She chose that moment to open her mouth and a sound straight from Hell came out of her throat. She was screaming, but it was unlike anything they had heard before. The sound was louder than a thousand bombs, so powerful that Alice, Megan, Namjoon, and all the others, immediately fell to the ground, covering their ears and screaming in pain themselves. It was the kind of sound that shook their bones, made their teeth clatter and their eardrums bleed. A screech so loud that it was incapacitant, stopping them from thinking, using their powers, or doing anything.

Like that, all of them were completely vulnerable. The sound was uninterrupted, her voice controlled at the same intensity, keeping them nailed to the ground like butterflies pinned in a frame.

Yoongi thought that he should have snapped her head off when he had the chance. Looking in front of him, he could see that Alice was crying, blood dripping from both her hears in an expression of unbearable pain. She was mouthing something in a silent prayer, her lips moving wordlessly while everyone around her was screaming in pain.

"Please, help me... please."

Hoseok fell unconscious, his body relaxing in the humid grass and he suddenly looked peaceful despite the horror surrounding him. A shadow walked towards him and Yoongi was able to recognize one of the blood witches through his blurry vision, a long knife in her slender hands. She was completely unaffected by the scream and passed over Alice's body to crouch beside the boy, pointing her knife towards his neck.

Yoongi tried to move, use his powers, do anything to stop her, but despite his best efforts, he couldn't move a finger. The scream of the queen was digging in his brain, making all of his thoughts chatter into pieces.

But then, something happened, and right when the blood witch was going to plant her knife into Hoseok's neck, the infernal noise suddenly stopped.

Yoongi shook his head, his ears still ringing, and his vision blurred. He tried to understand what was going on and suddenly caught sight of Alice as she stood up, despite all the others still being nailed to the ground.

It took all of his strength just to roll over, still gripping his bloody ears in his hands, and his heart jumped in his chest when he realized what was going on.

Ghosts. Ghosts everywhere.

An army of the dead was standing beside them, at least 30 white mutilated bodies serving as a barrier between the two covens. Alice was commanding them, her arms spread out in front of her like an orchestra conductor, leading the spirits onto battle.
