"Welcome to Hallowhelm, Human." His words echoed inside of your mind.
You feel entranced by his stare not realizing that some of the other people in the room had started walking over. You gulped hard not knowing what to do. 'What have I gotten myself into?'
You thought. The blond stood back up and let out a soft chuckle when he noticed you staring. "Like what you see?" He smirked with one eyebrow raised. That was how you knew you actually WERE staring too much. You instantly frown and turn your head away.
"Tch. As IF. H-how about you put on a shirt? It's distracting." You bellowed harshly at him. He tilted his head and laughed from amusement of your bashfulness.
"Oh, I see. Very well." He looked over to address a taller male who was standing quietly. He seemed shy and had fox like eyes.
"Hey, Jeongin? Would you go grab my shirt, please?" The blond motioned his hand to the younger boy. He nodded and sauntered off to the other side of the pool without any second thoughts. He was back over here with us before you even knew it. He handed over a black t-shirt to the older boy in front of you. Your irises wandered elsewhere when he began to slip the article of clothing back on. You grumble a few obscenities under your breath.

Suddenly, you were being roughly pulled up to your feet by the first male that you encountered. Changbin, was it? He was cruel and had a menacing aura that surrounded him. "It seems as though this one has no manners, boss. Shall I dispose of her, for you?" He growled through gritted teeth. He kept a tight hold on your upper arm to keep you from moving. His nails dug into your skin which made you whimper in pain.

"L-let go!" You yell with a high pitched tenor, slapping and pulling at his hand so he'd let you go

"L-let go!" You yell with a high pitched tenor, slapping and pulling at his hand so he'd let you go. But he had an iron grip. You managed to loosen his hand a little but then you were quickly grabbed up by another person, twirled into a circle and held on to by a male with a higher voice, and gray dyed hair. When you looked at him, you noticed he had very large eyes.
"No, allow me to take the honor." He hummed deviously. "I am deathly parched." He chuckled while licking his lips. You know you're supposed to be intimidated right now, but how could you be when he had a laugh like that?
'W-what is wrong with them? Why are they saying such...weird things?'

You struggle to get free. Your heart pounded hard as the adrenaline kicked in. Your mind yelled at you to run, but your heart became confused. The fear glinted within your eyes when you saw the eyes of the gray haired boy, flash red. It was unreal. Were his eyes really red? Could you be seeing things?
You felt a panic attack swell up by being bounced around and pulled from every angle. When out of nowhere, a gentle brown haired boy with a kind face pushed Changbin and the other man away. He gingerly pulled you close to him. It felt different. He was.... kinder.
"Come on, guys. Can't you see that you're scaring her? Lay off." He pouted with a huff. He didn't seem to like the vulgar display of power these other hard headed males were exhibiting. He stepped away from the chaos and pulled you with him. The gray haired boy snarled, bending down low in a battle ready stance like he was a wild animal. It freaked me out. 'Just w-what are these guys? I... I don't understand why they are all acting this way. Maybe it's drugs. But is it all an act? Am I being punk'd right now?'
