Chapter 7: Training Begins

"So it ended with you talking with the boss. What was that about?" Jin asks

"He just went over somethings with my powers, like a set of rules." I lied.

"Taehyung, f/n, change into some clothes that won't restrict movements.

"Why?" Tae asks.

"I'm taking you guys to your first transformation lesson. I'll help you with your full bird potential CA CAHHHHH" Jungkook bird calls.

"Are you mocking us?" Jin questions. Jungkook laughed it off as we prepare for the day.

Jungkook leads us through the house to a large room I've never been in. There was a lot of room for flying. The walls and floor were concrete with ledges and places to stand all over the wall. There were some indents in the wall, like mini caves. There were ropes and rock walls scattered throughout the area. The size of the room could be compared to an arena. Tae's mouth dropped in aw.

"Alrighty first off I'll show you what I'm doing. I'll do it as slow as possible." Jungkook said as he slowly morphed into a hawk. His nose and mouth came together and formed a beak as his feathers grew into proportion as his body shrank to the size of a hawk.

"See!" Jungkook yelled as he flew around us.

"What about our clothes?" Tae asked.

"All the clothes you were provided are specially made so that you won't transform naked. Hakunamatata. So what you do is focus on the bird for who you are. I don't know how to explain it, but just become the bird." He said. I closed my eyes and focused. I am a cardinal. I just need to spread my wings and fly.

"YES F/N!" Jungkook yelled. The next thing I knew, I was on the ground and I was a bird."

"OOOOH I GET IT! It's weird though!" 

"For the first time, yeah. Oh, Taehyung...your uh almost there." Jungkook tries to hold back laughter. Everything but Tae's head was a Peacock.

 "What do you mean. Look at me! I'm a bird"

"It's a shame you can't see your face." I laughed. Jungook showed Tae's reflection with a mirror. Tae melts back into his original form. "Dammit I was so ugly" He cries childishly.

"Drama Queen." Hoseok laughs walking in.

"Hoseok, can you help f/n with flying. I need to help Taehyung for a bit."

"Of course. Come over to my shoulder." He suggested as he patted his right shoulder. I waddled my way over and tried to flap my wings. It was difficult at first but seemed to catch on quickly.

Hoseok started off lessons slow, and once we gained confidence, he challenged me into tight spaces and moving objects. It was quite fun.

"You are very agile. Your dexterity is amazing for a beginner." Hoseok complimented. I smiled at his compliment. Jungkook and Tae were practicing together and it seems that he got into his form finally. 

"My form isn't very good for agility. Roosters aren't good flyers like hawks." He looks at Jungkook.

"Switch?"

"Yeah, go over half forms and I'll catch Taehyung up." Hoseok glided down with his wings, with what I am assuming is the half form, as he wasn't totally out of his rooster form. I sat on the ledge that reminded me of the rock in lion king. Jungkook flew up to me with speed and in such an elegant way. "You're cute as a bird, not saying you weren't before," Jungkook said as he sat next to me. Can birds blush? It certainly felt like it.

"Thanks, you look pretty badass yourself," I said in return. 

"Turn out of bird for me." He said as we both morphed out of bird form. We sat 70 feet from the ground as our feet dangled.

"You see that cave over there?" Jungkook pointed to the cave 20 feet above us in the corner of the giant room. I nodded.

"That's my nest. It's where I like to hang out when I don't want social interaction. Also, a place for privacy if I need to talk to any of the guys privately.  If you want to make your own nest, just request availability on your tablet." He said as he pulled out his. He didn't have rose quartz like mine, it was black. He jotted something down with the special pen and put in back in his jacket pocket. 

"You're gonna have to trust me on this f/n. I want you to focus on your instincts without turning fully into a bird. Meet me in the nest," he said staring me dead in the eye, then winking.

"What do you-" before i finished, Jungkook shoved me off the edge and I felt my body fall. In that moment I panicked and started to swing my arms everywhere. I don't care of he said not to turn into a bird. In the moments of falling, before I hit the ground, I spread my wings with my arms. I was hovering as I flapped my giant wings on my arms. I descended to the ground. Hobi and Tae looked at me astounded. 

"AIGOOO this girl is doing everything better than the rest of us!" Hobi complains. I took a moment to really look at myself in the mirror across the room. In grim form, my wrists down to my hands had some feathers, like a glove. I still had qualities of a human arm, but my wing spam was enormous. I had good balance. Knees down, I had legs and talons of the bird I could form into. The feathers above my eyebrows extended into my hair. It was quite majestic. 

Flying in this form was a little different to my cardinal form. I flew up to the little cave where Jungkook was sitting on a beanbag, smirking. "JK what the hell was that!" I flicked his forehead.

"OWWWW. Damn your finger flicks are worse than the boss's" he joked. Oh just you wait buddy, don't piss me off when I'm Death one day. That day he talked to me flew back. How long until it's my turn. I have to work hard. What if-

"F/n? Earth to f/n? Are you okay?" he snaps his fingers in my face.

"Yeah sorry, I just was thinking about something."

"Is everything okay? None of the boys are mistreating you or anything?" he asked offering me a seat. I grabbed the pillow closest to me and held it close to my chest.

"No, it's not that. I'm just reflecting on things. And Death.."

"What about him? What happened between you two. I heard he wanted to speak to you privately. You said that he went over your power, but I feel like it might be more than that." Jungkook said in a comforting way. Shit, what do I say? Do I lie, say nothing?

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. If he hurt you, I'll take on more than just finger flicks to defend you, newbie," he said as he playfully punched me on the shoulder.

"Thanks, Jungkook. I appreciate that. This place is really cool." I complimented. It wasn't a super huge cave, but just enough room for us to chill. The room had bean bags, pillows, blankets, and more fluffy things around the room. There was a bookshelf filled with journals and sketchbooks. There was a chest that was locked next to a little fireplace.

"Thanks. I wanted it to resemble my room when I was human. I didn't have access to this much stuff, but it was my ideal look. I requested for the exact fairy lights and bean bags from my home. It's been 37 years here, and even though I'm considered young, it feels like I've been here longer. But time is wacky here. The days are longer, but it does give us more of a break from work." he explained.

"Break from work? Speaking of work, what is our job exactly."

"Namjoon will let you and Tae shadow one of us one day. We just need to get some basics down. I work the night shift, which you'll find out about later."

"What's so special between day and night shifts."

"Namjoon wouldn't want me to say, but I can bend some rules, only a little. Day time is your basic soul collecting, then the night is the same things, only more dangerous. That's all I can say. I think you have the potential to be a night shifter, once you are all trained up. We'll get into that later. Tell me about yourself f/n." Jungkook said changing the topic. It was obvious he was hiding something about the night shifts. I don't want to worry about it too much.

"Tell me about myself? Well..."
