Jungkook

My lungs were burning.  My legs felt like fire.  I could feel him pull out of me, yelling my name.  But I couldn’t answer him.  All I could feel was fire.

Taehyung

“Kookie!  …  Kookie! …”  god, please help him through this, I don’t know how to help him.

“Tae!  What the hell is going on?!?”  Jimin suddenly appeared from around the coral, Yoongi with him.  “I heard screams…”  he looked down at me, and at Kookie.

“You…  you did it…  didn’t you?  Oh my god…  is he?  Is he really changing?”  he questioned.

“I think so.  I bit him while we… you know… but then he started screaming.”  I explained.

Yoongi came closer and looked at him, “I’ve heard about this before.  I thought it was just a rumor, because i’ve never actually seen it happen, but it looks like his blood is rejecting you.  … Tae, I think you have to bite him more… quickly...  He needs more of your essence, so he can’t fight it off.”  Yoongi interjected.

I leaned down and bit him again in the same place.  Trying to urge my essence to find a place in him.  I prayed to whatever Mer god out there, to help him through this.  I gave him all I could, and then felt a hand on my shoulder.  So I pulled my teeth back out, laying him down on the sand, his convulsions slowing down.

I sat there, holding his hand.  Crying.  Waiting.

My other brothers, Namjoon, Jin and Hobi showed up as well.  They were all sitting around Kookie and I.  Waiting.

Then all of the sudden he bucked up, back bowed, creating a cloud of sand around us.  His screams started up again, not as loud as they initially were.  I leaned in closer to him, through the cloud of sand, my eyes growing big at what I was witnessing.

Starting at his waist, a beautiful ring of blueish purple scales started growing down engulfing his legs, finishing off with a beautiful finned tail.

His screams suddenly stopped.  I looked up at his face to see if he was okay, and suddenly his eyes opened, staring straight at me.  They had the same dark color as before, but with an added shimmering gold hue.
