The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 4

A couple weeks passed by and more killing occurred, causing the hunters to grow exhausted and frustrated. For the past four weeks, the hunters would leave at dusk and return as the sun was making its peak over the horizon. The number of bodies piled up and despite their efforts, the amount of killings soared. The four of them were exhausted yet relieved to find out they had a break. Some other hunters had trickled into the area in attempts to help bring down the amount of missing people and killings.

The man with the slicked back hair sat in his room, typing on his computer. Ever since the encounter a few weeks ago, he had been on edge, the urge to find out more had overtaken him. He read and searched every corner of the internet, talked to all of his connections, and searched many libraries scattered across the country. He found what he needed, yet lacked one thing, evidence. He absentmindedly strolled the halls but came to a halt as he heard a conversation from around the corner. A smirk appeared on his plump lips as he froze in place and listened in.

It was a wednesday afternoon, school had just ended for Lexi and Yuri. They made small talk as they strode the halls, ready for the day of classes to end. As the days passed, Yuri slowly found her voice and spoke more to Lexi. She even began to befriend Kaitlyn and the other hunters as well. They came to a halt near the exit where they rested against one of the walls and talked. As their conversation was flowing, a girl suddenly interrupted them.

"Yuri! Please tell me you've thought about the party friday!" The girl squealed. Lexi turned towards Yuri, confusion evident on her face. Yuri softly smiled at the girl.

"Listen Nari, I told you.. I'm not big on parties.. I don't know..." Yuri shyly stated, hesitant to say no to her . Nari, Yuri's roommate, was the complete opposite of Yuri. Nari was very outgoing and wanted to talk to everyone. Her confidence screamed 'look at me' which was something Yuri could only dream of having a fraction of.

Lexi eyed Nari suspiciously, like she always did with new people. She couldn't sense anything that could be of significant danger but still, she refused to let her guard down. Nari rolled her eyes at Yuri's response..

"Come on, just do it. I'm going to drag you along one way or another." Nari said, a bored tone laced her voice as she picked at the dirt under her freshly manicured nails. Lexi glared at the girl, not enjoying her tone. Before she could smart off, Yuri spoke up.

"If I say yes, never ask me to go to another party. Deal?" Yuri said, knowing that if she were to give in, Nari would attempt to do the same thing for every party. Yuri bit her lip as Nari's resting bitch face disappeared and a small smile appeared.

"Deal!" She said excitedly, quickly skipping off before Yuri could change her mind. They watched as she bounced down the hallway to go join some other group that was huddled up talking together. Lexi rolled her eyes and looked back at Yuri.

"You shouldn't agree to things you don't want to do." Lexi stared at Yuri, "That is how you get in serious trouble." She mumbled, as she observed the area around her.

"It's just one party, how bad could it be? I just.." She paused looking down to her shuffling feet due to her anxiety, she peaked back up at Lexi before speaking up, her voice wavering. "I don't want to be alone, especially with everything going on." Yuri sighed, referencing the killings that had been happening, not just in the area, but the world. Lexi visibly lost her composure for a second, annoyance laced her features.

"I'll go with you." Lexi stated, not meeting Yuri's gaze. Yuri picked her head back up in surprise, studying Lexi for a moment, before she wrapped her arms around herself for comfort. She couldn't help feeling a little bad. Her thoughts left her to believe that Lexi would only be going for her. But, before Yuri could speak up, Lexi seemed to read her mind.
