"Don't worry we will make some new ones," I said menacingly as I moved closer to him. 

He carefully took some steps back mirroring me.  I could hear Jeon moving in the background. "If you move one more step, I will make sure to leave this place a ruin," I said, turning back to look at him. Oh. He had gotten himself another gun. How quaint. 

I focussed back on Taehyung. "Maybe not you," I reconsidered. She probably didn't care as much about the prince and his vampire friend.

I leaped to the prince, but the vampire held me off. The hand slowly solidified and disintegrated. Fingers crumbling into dust. Taehyung quickly moved and sliced the vampire's arm with a dagger pushing both of them backward and standing in front of him. 

Jeon fired his gun. Left thigh. I sighed, "Didn't even graze the bone, Jeon. I thought they taught you at the school to shoot creatures at fatal points." I looked back to study his face. "What does she mean to you?" No emotion. Just teeth clenched, unmoving. Gun held straight. On point now. 

"It's been 8 years. Do you still think she cares about you enough?” I asked Taehyung, who took a preemptive step back moving everyone behind him further back, including Marcus who was tying his wound with his shirt.

“Don’t move,” Jeon warned. 

“Ah, he talks.” I focussed on Marcus, careful not to move. Just in case. I did not want to challenge Jeon just yet. “Marcus? Right?”

“Yes. Miss-”

“Gray. Miss Gray. I struggled a lot to get this name. Please do not hesitate to use it.”

“Yes. Miss,” he stood up straight dusting himself. 

“I haven’t seen you in a while Marcus. It seems that you have gotten yourself into some deplorable company.”

“Likewise. Miss.”

I smiled at that. “Still as good a shot. Age must have taken a toll on you.”

“Still the best at my job, Miss.” He answered without any hesitation in his voice. “What I lack in youth, I have gained times in experience.”

“Missed a shot this evening,” I challenged.

“Unfortunate,” he replied with a smirk. “Gun’s getting a bit old.” Taehyung shuddered at that. 

“Marcus. Make sure you don’t get arrested.”

“Gladly, Miss.”
