Yuri stirred, her head pounding from an almost unbearable headache. She groaned as she slowly propped herself up on her forearms. She delayed opening her eyes as she wanted to avoid the burning sun she assumed she would meet. Yet, when she finally opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself in a dark room.

Her heartbeat skyrocketed as she scanned her surroundings realizing that she was in unknown territory. She laid on a couch within the darkened room and searched for some idea as to where she was at or whose home she had crashed in. She seemed to be in a living room, though it lacked what some people would call personal touches. The room had a couch and some reclining chairs faced towards a television. Everything that was needed to make a living room, yet it lacked the sense of living. Usually, pictures of family and life littered the walls, but her eyes were met with nothing but unnecessary décor.

Once she was sure that there was nobody around she threw her legs over the edge of the couch and sat up properly causing the room around her to spin and her stomach to churn. She quickly leaned over herself with her arms wrapped around her stomach as she swallowed back the bile that rose in her throat. She wondered if she had too much to drink the night before, but she couldn't recall most of the night. She remembered bits of the party, like seeing Lexi and being saved from cheesy pickup lines but the rest was a blur.

Yuri held her head with one hand and the side of the couch she had risen from with the other, feeling the world around her spin. She quickly sat back down and closed her eyes, willing the spinning world to come to an end. After minutes that felt like hours, her senses started to return, yet not enough to actually aid the poor girl. She zoned in on the old watch on her wrist as her eyes widened at the time.

"No no, this old thing must be broken..." Yuri mumbled to herself, trying to convince herself that it was only the next morning. Desperate to not believe what her watch showed, she observed her surroundings again and zeroed in on a clock, sitting on a small coffee table next to the TV. Her eyes widened once again as she actually took in what the clock said. It was near midnight... the next night.

She stood up; another rush of dizziness fogged her vision, but with a deep breath, she pushed through it. She collected her things she had found sitting on one of the armchairs next to the couch and quickly maneuvered her way through the darkness. She found the front door, wrenched it open and quickly left.

She needed to head home and figure out what the hell had happened last night.

It was dark within the woods, the inability for the moon to cast light through the dense trees. Yoongi kicked a rock out of his way, his eyes now well adjusted to the darkness that surrounded him. His eyes were focused on anything but the man walking quietly in front of him. Yoongi was still angry that he was dragged out of the house for something other than murdering the monsters that littered the world.

"So, are we just wandering the woods for fun, old man? Or are you actually going to show me something worthwhile?"

The man in front of him stopped his movements and peered over his shoulder at the younger of them. Yoongi could see the smirk resting within his eyes, mouth not needing to be visible, "Always a joy to be around. Glad age hasn't changed you yet."

Yoongi scoffed and mumbled under his breath. It wasn't weird for Kwon Jeonsa, the group's grandfather and hunting mentor, to request alone time with one of the four of them. Training was of the utmost importance and he had to make sure that they weren't getting rusty. Yet, this trip seemed different than the usual ones and it was making Yoongi increasingly impatient because of it..

"That didn't answer my question," Yoongi responded, voice slightly raised in irritation.

"And what if I only dragged you out of the house to roam?" The old man prompted not giving Yoongi a single glance as he continued onward, "You spend too much time inside anyways."
