ATEEZ is a group of hunters that use their idol status to get where they need, but also hide so they can fight San is a witch that helps them, but hidden among them is someone different, someone not like the rest, a King, but not a king they expecte...
After our long trip I get the tracking charm, and my bag so we can get ready to go to the set they want us to check out. I head over to where Wooyoung is waiting, to see a car waiting for us. HongJoong comes over, talking with Jongho and holding a map of the building.
"Alright so this is where we are going, and we have to drive there, but we have a driver. So we should get going." HongJoong says, and we all get in the car.
We are all pretty quiet as we are in the car, and we study the map. I take notes, keeping my notebook out for when we get there.
Once we arrive I get out, Jongho helping me, and we walk to the building. It is large, I sketch out the map into my notebook so we have a second copy.
"Alright, let's go." Wooyoung says, taking out an iron bar, and keeping an iron ring on his hand. We all have iron rings in case we need to hit a spirit, but HongJoong has two.
"So what all do you think is in that?" Jongho asks, pointing to the charm in my hand. It's a teardrop shaped vial, the point facing the ground, and it has a strange dark red liquid in it. It also has etching in the hardened glass, hair wrapped around it, and a cork sealing it.
"I know what's on it, but I have no idea what's in it. San says it tracks magic, but mostly demons, which is why it only lightly buzzes when he is around, but goes insane when a demon shows up." I explain. Jongho nods and we start looking around the grounds.

Walking around the building with Wooyoung we don't see much out of the ordinary for an abandoned building. Everything seems to be fine, until I start feeling like something is watching us. There are a few times I look around and see something out of the corner of my eye.
"Something is following us," Wooyoung says, which makes me stop walking.
"So it's not just me."
"It's been following us since we got here, but it goes away for a few minutes, then comes back." he tells me, so we reconnect with Jongho and Yeosang.
"Were you feeling anything from your charm?" Wooyoung asks Yeosang and he nods.
"Yeah, the entire time we were in this section of the building it was buzzing like crazy." he says and points to an area on the map. It seemed to be something like an infirmary.
"Wait, so it wasn't just sometimes buzzing?" I ask and look at the two of them.
"No... I mean, not like the infirmary area. There was a bit of slight buzzing once in a while, but nothing major." Yeosang says, and Jongho nods.
"I was watching it sometimes. It's weird seeing the liquid vibrate." Jongho comments. I agree, watching the charm when it buzzes is really strange, which is why Yeosang is the only one who holds it. He is the only one that doesn't get squeamish watching it.
"Alright, then I guess that means we should get the others to come out here to check this out." Wooyoung points out and I agree, but when I try to call Hwa my phone doesn't want to work.
"Shit, do any of us have signal?" I ask and everyone shakes their head as they check. We head over to the infirmary area to check it out together, the charm obviously reacting as we get close.

While getting closer to where Yeosangie and Jongho had gotten readings from the infirmary and I can feel something watching us. Though it's from the opposite direction to where we are walking.
HongJoong pulls us down and we hide, seeing that there is a person lounging around in the room, with spirits around her. We stay quiet and Jongho points to an area that we sneak to, or at least try to before we hear something behind us.
"Oh, how cute. You boys thought you could get in here without me noticing?" she asks in a patronizing voice from behind us. A spirit holds HongJoong up and he throws a punch through it.
"Keep away from us!" he yells, as we start to run at her. He flings Jongho as he gets close, knocking him out as he hits a wall. Yeosang runs to him and HongJoong throws a punch with his right fist, which she stops easily by catching his wrist.
"So fragile, yet so much potential." she purrs, and seems to look annoyed as she looks at his hand. She wraps a sheet around his head and throws him at me, knocking me onto the floor.
As I am trying to get the sheet off of HongJoong the whole area seems to get darker, as if it were night. I pull the sheet off him and we feel something getting close to us. In the time we have been Hunters, this is the first time I've genuinely been terrified. Not because of what it is, but because I don't know what it is, and for the fear in the demon's eyes as she felt it's presence.
Just as quick as the darkness enveloped us, it goes away, leaving the woman lost and confused in front of us, human again. The spirits are gone, along with the feeling of someone watching us being gone.
Jongho wakes up slowly, not really injured, just shaken up. HongJoong is obviously shaken as he was just strangled with a sheet. Yeosang seems just as terrified of what just happened as I feel. We call it a day, and leave to call a car quickly, heading back to the hotel.
