"never thought I'd find myself playing with an animal… Let alone a dog" he mumbled to himself with a little smile as he stood and stepped off of the rock and into the water with a splash. It was weird to see a girl one minute and a barking giant dog the other. His shirt getting soaked on the rock by the splash which he was a bit annoyed since the reason he took it off was so it wouldn't get wet. He ducked underwater for a fee seconds and looked around underwater as the fish swam away from the cold bubbles he blew to the top before popping back up, running both hands through his hair before shaking his head like a wet dog himself. The water dripped from his muscles and his hair as he shook it off. "do you do this regularly? " he let out a small laugh as he looked back up to her, a half smile showing his deadly fangs. Acting as reminder.. His guard was never completely down.
(Sorry, I was responding to this one last night and then it kicked me out in the middle of typing)
Val shrugged at his question and answered with a bark. She shifted back when she reached the middle of the lake, her clothing clinging to her skin “yeah, sometimes. Never while someone, let alone a vampire watched though.” She ducked down under the water and swam around for a bit before breaking the sofa down as a wolf. She swam to the edge and shook out her fur silver droplets of water flyin from her black coat. She glanced around for Min and bared her teeth at him as her own smile, almost challengingly. She turned slowly before trotting off, breaking off into a wild run along the bank of the lake
He looked away slightly when her clothes clung to her body showing every curve on her. He was just Lucky she wasn’t wearing white (is she?)
Min-Hyuk raised a brow before shaking his head and stepping up to the bank himself, stepping on a bigger rock before he ran a long with her, quickly catching up. He never liked running, as when he was still a human he had asthma and a lot of breathing problems, which faded away once he was turned. That was one of the only things he was grateful for. But the feeling of running always reminded him of back then when he could never breath correctly and his lungs would feel as if they collapsed.
Coming in step with the wolf, he swiveled around some trees, heading towards the waterfall where the lake down here started. The wind blowing through his hair and filling his lungs made him feel weightless. For the first time in such a long time he actually enjoyed himself.
(No, she was wearing black)
Val let out a howl of joy as they ran. Ever since she a pup she loved running through the forest with her parents and brother. She growled softly as she saw Min flash through the trees, surprised by his speed, she knew vamps gained speed when turned but she never knew the extent of their abilities. She broke off from the banks to an upper path that led to a steeper incline of rocks and the falls. When she’s was younger, Chire used to tease her when she couldn’t bring herself to jump down from the cliff. Now she did it without effort, lundging over the side and diving into the water below, shifting mid fall so she wouldn’t hit the water with so much force
He stopped at the edge as he looked up at her with wide eyes and a small smirk as he watched her jump off and shift. She was quite beautiful and he found himself thinking that every time he looked at her.
He forcfully shoved the thoughts down before running to the top, diving off into the water gracefully with a splash. The water was as clear as day as it hadn’t been disturbed my any unnatural beings in a while. Opening his eyes, his black hair blue in the sunlight the peirced the surface of the water floating around his face.
Wide grey eyes with a tint of red in on eye looked at the girl under the water. Her hair flowing gracefully underneath the water. He felt as if he were flying.
(Okay but like, what if they have like a little connection moment with each other under water and it’s really pretty and elegant and low key a cheesy romance underwater scene but like not with romance since they don't really know each other, but like a connection.?)
(Also, when is her brother going to come in and like hate Mins guts. Because I’m lowkey looking forward to that XD)
(I like that a lot! Yeah let’s do it! And don’t worry, Chire’s coming soon XD)
Val turned around while still under water in time to see Min break through the surface. His skin glistened under water, reflecting the clear water and sunlight. She wonder for probably the thousandth time that day if his skin was as smooth and supple and the books described vampire skin to be. Or was it rough like human skin, scared with work and battles untold by words? She shook her head out of thought watched him as they both floated around, careful not to make any sudden movements so as to not disturb the blissful moments. Her heart raced as they floated closer together, knowing if it was audible to her it was audible to him but she couldn’t bring herself to move away or break eye contact with him.
He felt his heart point hard against his bare chest when she turned around, slowly edging towards her. The water around him was even colder than usual.
Even underwater he smelled the sweet scent of silver it her blood, which would burn his throat if he drank it. But it acted as a drug to him. Her scent, her movements, how her hair floated around her gorgeous face. Were they really enemies? He didnt feel repulsed by her. If anything he was drawn to her.
The colorful fish swam around the two and soon they weren’t even an inch apart. Looking straight into her eyes, he saw something he’s never seen in a wolves eyes. He couldn’t put his finger on it.
A lovely feeling almost warmed his blood before his smooth cold skin touched hers ever so slightly.
Who was this girl? And why did she have this effect on him?
(EEK I’m excited!)
(Aaah saaammeee!!!)
Val gently reached out a hand and placed it on his chest so he wouldn’t drift so close, unfazed by the coolness of his skin. She could feel his rapid heartbeat, one that matched own. She gazed up into his eyes, fragmented pieces of glass that had clouded over, wanting to drown in the pools of grey and black. No one in the world had his eyes, there was no equivalent to their unnatural beauty.
After a few moments of their blissful floating, she pointed up to the surface and carefully pushed him back so she had enough space to swim up.
Breaking the surface of the water with a gasp she pushed hair hair back from her face and smiled as she floated on her back, waiting for Min to come up for air.
Tingles going up his spine at her soft touch, on his chest no less. Wanted closer but not allowing himself to, he drifted back when she pushed him away and came up to the surface, water dripping down from his hair like a wet dog.
He took a deep breath and looked at her before taking a step back. "sorry" he looked away, a tsunudere expression on his face. He could year his heart pounding hard in his ears. His chest where she put her hand felt as if it were still there, warm to the touch.
He was so lonely and touch deprived. As most vampires were. Having nobody to depend on as a pack of werewolves did.
And it showed in his movements, the way he breathed and his eyes met hers every time he looked her way. Lusting for more touch. Desperate to feel human again.
She stood and tilted her head in confusion “What for? You didn’t do anything.” Waved to him as she made her way back where she had left her belongings, not being able to keep her gaze away from him for long. “You gonna be alright? You kinda look sick.” She knelt by her bag and pulled out towels. She handed one off to Min and wrapped one around herself. “Sorry if it kinda smells like a dog.” She smiled apologetically and shifted, looking adorable with a towel draped over her head. She flopped down on the rocks where the sun shone the most and tried to dry off. She barked at Min to join her and curled up in a tight ball, eating for herself to warm up
He snapped out of his thoughts swimming out his mind when she spoke. He thought it was obvious what he was saying sorry for, but he guessed she didn't care. Or she was dense… It could be either one.
He waded through the water, soaking wet as he sat beside the wolf. She liked shifting a lot didn't she? He shrugged it off, not caring too much and draped the towel over his wet hair, drying it off quickly and setting it back down. He sat right in the shade so the sun wouldn't hit him but close enough to her. Only about 3 feet. He figured she didn't really want to Be near him, as she did push him away from her about 30 seconds ago.
She gazed over at him, her wide eyes golden in the shifting sun as it streamed through clouds. He coat become dabbled black and russets. After a while, she glanced away, glad that wolves couldn’t blush through their fur and turned her attention to the lush forest around them. She looked around at the canopy and then at the damp forest grounds where various animals ran free, from squirrels to chipmunks who thought it was safe to venture to ground level when predators were around. She breathed a sigh through her nose and stood from the sunning rock, stretching out with a low groan and stalking around the forest near the lake, looking for an easy breakfast. She made her footfalls lighter as she approached an unsuspecting squirrel who was busy burying nuts. What neither of them saw were birds flying into the air, disturbed by the presence of something larger and far more ill tempered that reigned over the territory.
He looked over to his hoodie on the side of the rock, still soaked but it was going to dry soon. He hoped so anyway. Huffing out a cold puff of air in annoyance, his eyes glanced over to the wolf as she got up. He didnt really want to see her hunt animals and tear them apart. He was fine with gore, but he never liked seeing anyone eat. He was glad all he had to do was suck their blood and not tear them apart.
He always hated getting dirty and he would always avoid it when possible.
A strong sense of another presence flooded his chest and his heart stopped. Quickly he got up, slipping on his red sweatshirt, almost fully dry now that he set it in the sun, he stepped over to the wolf.
Debating whether or not to speak korean so if there was anyone else around they wouldn't know what he was saying but then remembering that this girl most likely didn't speak korean.
“Something’s here” he says in a hushed tone, quiet enough for the girl to hear him. It definitely wasn't another human. No, this was something bigger and most likely territorial.
Val growled in slight frustration when the squirrel scampered away but quieted when she spotted two yellow eyes, similar to her own, peering through the dark trees. She stood in front of Min and slowly backed his up towards the Lake, fur against body. The wolf in the trees followed slowly a snarl escaping his as he realized who Val was protecting.
Chire bound forwards before shifting and stood in front of his sister. “Do you care to explain why first of all, you don’t answer your phone, and two why you’re around the likes of him” He swiveled his head to look at Min before facing his sister again. “He’s the one who threatened you, didn’t he?”
“Chire please, he hasn’t hurt anyone.” Val has shifted, staying pressed against Min
“”Maybe not him, yet. But his kind has hurt this pack. Or do you not remember what happened to mom?”
He backed up, following her motions carefully until he spotted those yellow eyes. Glaring at the wolf, recognizing the boy as he shifted. He smirked condescendingly as he stepped a bit away from the girl, not needing to be protected. Not by a girl, but he did feel a bit safer when she defended him. And he nudged her softly to show his appreciation before stepping away.
“Thought i smelled dog, but i didnt expect it to be you. I will admit to that” he says in a calming tone. His voice not wavering a bit. The smell of the wolves stronger than ever with both of them around. Luckily he’s gotten used to the smell, being around her for a while. But he still didnt like it.
He always got so annoyed whenever someone stereotpyed him as someone who brutally murdered families. Hes only killed one werewolf and that was only to help his sister.
“See, you would think that someone of…” he paused, looking him up and down with a distasteful look before speaking again “your kind… would understand” he shrugged, making sure he was ready to fight “but dogs are pretty stupid after all” he sighed like he didnt care about anything really and he was just ready to get this over with. “Anyway, its nice to see you again too” he smiled at him. S
(Min-Hyuks such a butthead and I’m sorry for him misbehaving….)
(Oh goodness, awww Min!)
Chire narrowed his eyes at the boy, scrutinizing the boy before smirking and crossing his arms over his chest. Val pulled away from Min with a confused look. “You never cease to be an asshole while still being weirdly friendly, doncha?” She stood between the two, more to keep her brother from launching himself into An unnecessary fight than anything else.
“Says the one who found his way into wolf territory. I’m surprised you’re not dead. Thank my little sister for that. If it were any other wolf, they’d torn you to pieces by now.”
Val looked between them “you know each other?”
Chire nodded gravely “unfortunately I had the pleasure of meeting him in an effort for the pack and vampires to become allies. Never worked out after mom’s death.” He growled lowly and stepped closer to Val.
He laughed at him and rolled his eyes. “I’m guessing you forgot that i could actually fight huh?” He raised an eyebrow, putting his hands in his pockets carelessly as if he didnt care that two wolves surrounded him at the moment. If he played his cards right and smoothly enough he could possibly take down both of them with serious injuries, not fully killing them. Werewolves were nothing to be messed with, that was for sure.
“It wasnt my fault that your mommy’s dead. So why dont you let it go huh kid” he hissed.
He didnt want to be wrong, but he didnt feel like she would attack him any time soon. She was defending him after all. Against her own brother even!
He was never fond of other vampires. Some lived in groups and some lived alone. It was a weird life for vampires. Especially with them being so rare, it was hard for them to find any companions whatsoever. He never even spoke to the other vampires nor werewolves when they met up. Simply keeping to himself.
He leaned against a tree, still ready to fight but not showing it. The hair on the back of his neck stood as he felt the warmth of their bodies emitting from where they were.
He didnt want to start a fight, but he will finish it if he had to.
Chire let out a loud growl, shifted quickly and nearly made it on top of Min before Val stepped in front of him. She held his gaze while she addressed Min. “Get out of here Min.” She whispered quietly. “Voice shaking as she felt shame wash over her. how could she betray her brother like this? How could she betray everything telling her Vampires are bad? she drew in a ragged breath and yelled over her shoulder “now beforehand I let him do what he wants. Go! And don’t come back!”
Min-Hyuk wasn't someone who backed down easily if at all. He looked at her with a glare before turning to the wolf. He was smart enough to know when to leave though. "you're lucky she's here to save your sorry ass" he growled,
Letting out a cold sigh, and turning around before glancing one more time at the girl. He was pissed. No…more than pissed. His fist tightened around a rock he had picked up before hand, crushing it he left it on the ground in a pile of dirt as he walked away. He didn't take his time though. He walked out though right as he got out of sight he bolted. Not out of fear, but he really didn't want more to come. He needed to get out there as fast as he could. If worse came to worse he could easily climb the tall ever greens and tree hop from tree to tree until he made it to the towns fence. Though it wasn't for sure that they would stop at that.
(he's like low-key really glad she intervened. But this tsunudere brat won't show his gratitude)
Chire followed Min’s movements with narrowed eyes, growling when he slowed to crush a rock. He relaxed slightly when he Min left before turning his rage on his sister.
“Are. You. Crazy?! Have you lost your mind?! Val you just let a vampire go, the same exact creature who murdered our mother in cold blood! Or have forgotten that event?” His eyes flared with anger, he ran his hand through his hair to keep himself calm.
Val said nothing, not wanting to in case she angered her brother more, which seemed impossible.
Chire shook his head and nodded towards the forest “go home. We’re talking about this later.” He turned and grabbed her things, handing them to her.
“What about you?” She asked, finding her voice, though it cracked when she saw the pain in Chire’s eyes.
“I’ll patrol the territory to make sure she’s gone.”
Once at the forests border he hopped the fence and came to a stop. He huffed harsh bits of air out before standing up straight again. He could have taken form of the mist to get a faster start and he soon found himself regretting it. It would have looked cool too.
Shrugging it off he began to walk towards the school where he left his motorcycle on his way to the forest. Man he was pissed. And what's worse was he could do nothing about it. He wasn't about to kill someone but he really wanted to.
Soon reaching the spot where he parked the vehicle, he reached in his sweatshirt, unzipping a secure pocket on the inside and pulling out his keys. Swinging one leg over and starting the engine, letting it roar in bus ears for a second before he pulled out and made his way to his house. Hopefully Chire didn't follow him, but he most likely did. Knowing a werewolf's sense of smell, that dog could easily find him.
Val broke off from her usual path to her home and made her way back around the territory to the town. She shifted when she reached the fence and jumped over it.
Pulling on her hoodie hood and walking through the town, she made her way around the outskirts of buildings, looking for Min.
She wasn’t looking out for him, she wasn’t even concerned. She just wanted to gently remind Min of what her brother had said before but in a calmer tone.
Glancing up from her thoughts, she saw someone ride away on the same white bike she’s had admired before. She tilted her head, standing on the sidewalk and gaping at the bike. Was it Min? Possibly. She couldn’t tell because of the helpmate but his clothing matched those of that this morning. She glanced away and started back towards home. What was the point anyways? As long as he didn’t come back, she wouldn’t look for him. She told herself she didn’t care, that the moment they had at the lake was nothing more than friendly banter and teasing.
As he drove he glanced to the side, quickly looking back at the road before doing a double take. He quickly pulled to a stop when he realized who it was walking away. He slid his helmet off, his black hair falling in his face. It would have been cute if they weren't in the situation they were in at the moment.
"hey" he ran up to her, his helmet under his arm and he didn't even bother to fix his hair. "whare you doing over here? I thought-" he paused to look around to see if There were around (that's such a cool name BTW)
(also, sorry it's short. Im supposed to be doing schoolwork right now XD)
(It’s okay, take your time! For Val’s brother? Thanks, got inspirations from the Cheshire Cat from Alice in wonderland)
Val glanced back over her shoulder at Min and stopped. “Hey, uhm no. He’s not around. He doesn’t know I’m here.” She swallowed the lump that rose in her throat. It felt so wrong to betray her brother like this. She should’ve never gone to school in the first place. “I just wanted to say sorry. He’s not usually so discriminating against Vampires. We’ve been through things as I’m sureness you have concerning both Lycanthropes and Vampires. It’s no excuse but do know that there is a reason for his hatred at the moment.” She glanced up at Min, fully ready for his own rage and lashing out.
He pinched the bridge of his nose lightly before letting out a small sigh before he stepped to her, grabbing her hand and taking her to the motorcycle. "I don't feel comfortable talking here" he says plainly. "don't worry, I wont hurt you or do anything." he stopped at the bike and let go of her warm hand
She blinked in surprise when Min took her hand and stopped her in front of the bike. “I- I don’t trust the bike. Can’t I just run from the woods?” She glanced back, knowing the woods didn’t go inside town, only the outskirts. She let out a sigh “If you havn’t hurt me now, I don’t believe you’ll hurt me now.” She arched an eyebrow at the bike “no helmet? That’s safe.” She chuckled softly and swung her leg over the bike and lightly wrapped her arms around Min’s waist “okay, ready.”
