The moon was high in the night sky, yet the two traveling through the dense trees of the forest couldn't tell. They had been wandering for hours now, still with no leads as to what they were looking for. All either of them knew was that people were disappearing within the area and that it wasn't stopping. Even though they knew that mostly vampires seemed to be behind this, something else seemed to be afoot.
"You should have run this by Yoongi and Gramps," Kaitlyn said, pushing aside some thick brush and stepping through it.
Jungkook sighed, "I don't need to disclose everything I do in my spare time to those two." He continued to lead the way through the mass of trees and brush, not looking back at the small blonde, who was now beginning to struggle to keep up with his strides.
Kaitlyn paused for a moment, hands on her knees as she took a few breaths. She was exhausted, but when she heard about Jungkook's plan, she refused to let him be an idiot and go alone. So while all she really wanted was sleep, which always evaded her, she pushed that need aside to make sure he had back-up if he needed it. She looked up to see Jungkook several feet ahead and with a forced burst of energy she pushed herself to catch up to him.
He stopped at a low hanging branch and pushed it forward before holding it out to the side for her to pass without her having to do the same. Even though he was annoyed at her nagging, it wasn't enough where he wouldn't help her through the brush of the forest. Once she passed through the opening, Jungkook let go of the branch, watching as it swung back in place to block off the path behind them.
"It's different when you decide to go hunting in your spare time, Jungkook." Kaitlyn said, staring up at the man next to her. He pressed his tongue to the inside of his cheek, tearing his gaze away from her.
"Kate, If you were just going to nag me the whole trip you shouldn't have come. I could have done this by myself." He said, pushing past her to take the lead again. Irritation irradiated his aura as his strides became even longer than before. It was the first night off in a long time. Yet, there they were.
Kaitlyn let out a fake laugh and followed him, "Oh, so you can wander off by yourself and get yourself killed? Oh no, sorry you're stuck with me." She sarcastically answered with a roll of her eyes.
He shot her a glare over his shoulder but continued forward. She cursed under her breath but followed him anyways, much like she always did. Sometimes he could get too carried away and too confident in his abilities. There have been times where she felt like she had to babysit him just in case his confidence decided to get the better of him, which seemed to be happening a lot in recent years. Yet, she knew underneath all that bullheadedness, he truly appreciated her tagging along.
The two walked for what seemed like a half hour and still couldn't find anything. Jungkook sighed to himself and leaned against a tree. He ran his hand through his hair, closing his eyes to try to wean the growing headache away. He kept racking his memory about what thing could be the one to cause all these people to go missing with no traces left behind. There was no possible way the vampires alone could be creating all this chaos. But the more he pushed through his supernatural knowledge, the more the answer evaded him. He found himself lost in his theories, one of which was wondering if it was just the humans, running off and getting lost to avoid their problems.
Suddenly, he was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of his companion calling to him, "Jungkook, this isn't good."
He pushed off the tree and followed Kaitlyn's voice. Once through the few trees separating the two, his eyes found exactly what she had seen. The trees were laced with the white strings of cobwebs, but the webs seemed too massive for just an average spider to make itself. He walked forward, following the webs further into the forest, careful to avoid getting caught in any.
