Baekhyun's Story

I didn't know what I was until my bestfriend died in fifth period science my freshman year of high school. I hand't been feeling well all day but I brushed it off as me being worried about the exam the day before which I was sure I had failed. I'd spent all week online gaming and didn't study a , Daehyun always said gaming would bite me in the one day. The feeling of dread only got worse as class was ending and the teacher came towards me with my test result, the moment he set the exam done on my desk Daehyun snatched it and flipped it over howling at what I was sure was a giant red F on the front of it. While Daehyun and the rest of my friends were laughing about me failing another exam I felt like I was dying, my chest clenching. Daehyun stopped laughing when he noticed the tears streaming down my face. “It's not that bad Baekhyun, it was just a practice test. Come on we're gonna be late for English.” I wanted to tell him to stop, don't get up, don't leave me. I watched him and Youngjae leave the class room and then I heard screaming. I didn't remember getting up but I felt myself walk out of the room into the hallway were Daehyun was convulsing on the floor. Youngjae had turned him on his side like we were taught when we were kids .Daehyun had Epilepsy. But he had went years without an episode to the point that he felt safe enough to stop taking the medication, without his mom knowledge of course. When we were younger he would have them often to the point that Youngjae and I knew what to do when he had one. Time seems to tick by in slow motion as he continues to shake and I realize I can't hold it in any longer and I stop trying to. It was like a bomb going off

I wake up dazed in an ambulance outside the school, sitting up I can feel my head ringing as I try to remember how I got here.

“What did you do” as I snap my head I my vision goes blurry for a second until I see Youngjae standing before me, he's a mess cuts and scraps adorn all visible skin, clothes are rippled and dirty, red eyes that look like they haven't stopped crying and I reach out to him trying to comfort him but he just backs away. “Answer me, what did you do!” by now

he's yelling at me and I don't know what's going on. The flashing lights and siren are making my headache worse and I see everyone look in our direction. I try again to comfort him but this time he rips his arm out of my grasp. I take the hint and stop trying to touch him instead I decide to sit back and hope my head stopped spinning.
“What are you talking about.”

“They're saying it was a gas leak. The explosion. But I was there I know what I saw., I saw the way your eyes glowed” by now his entire body is trembling as he point at me. I look around at the other students sitting close by and they all seem to avoid my eye, as if they're afraid. Why would they be scared? I realize I haven't answered Youngjae's question, he's just not making any sense.

“What do you mean they're saying, there was an explosion Youngjae, look around you.” My head is really pounding right now and I just don't understand what He's going on about.

“I just have one question.” I ignore him and try to get him to sit down, he obviously has a concussion or something.

“What is wrong with you, come here you need to sit down.”

“Why did you do it?”

“Do what I don't know what your talking about”

“Why did you Kill Daehyun.” I feel my blood run cold. What? Then everything hits me at once. My feeling of dread the entire day, Daehyung and Youngjae laughing at me failing, Daehyun convulsing on the floor as Youngjae tries to help him, I remember now, it wasn't an explosion it was me.

“I didn't kill him Youngjae you have to believe me.”

“Believe you! Your a ing monster! You killed him! You killed him!”

“I didn't he was already dead! Please believe me Youngjae.....please” I feel my voice leave just before I feel pain explode across my cheek. Youngjae punched me, he punched me. He tackles me to the ground and I see him draw his hand back to strike me again before an officer pulls him off of me kicking and screaming. He's swing wildly as if possessed by some demon.

“Stop let me go! Don't you get it he killed him! He's a monster!” Shock is the only thing I feel right now and I vaguely hear and officer talking to me.

“Are you okay son.” when I don't answer he leans down and shakes my shoulder a bit. I flinch at the contact but don't pull away,“Son I said are you okay.” I open my mouth no words come out, I swallow and then try again.

“I'm fine.” it's nothing but a whisper but it seems to be enough for him.

“Your Byun Baekhyun right? You parents are here to pick you up.” I continue to stare into space thinking about what went wrong”Did you hear me, your parents are here to pick you up.” my eyes flicker over to him then forward again. Before the officer can ask me anymore questions I hear my mother's worried voice.

“Oh dear god Baekhyun come here, we were so worried.. Come on let's go home” My parents stare at me when I don't respond so My father gentle grabs my shoulder and directs me into the car. The ride home is filled with an awkward silence. We pull up to to the two story home in our gated community. When i'm inside the house i'm seated on the living room couch when my mother finally speaks breaking the silence. She's always breaking the silence

“We didn't want you to find out like this.” What? She turns to my dad with an angry look on her face. “I told you we should have stopped him from hanging out with that Jung boy, kid was a walking accident waiting to happen.”I feel my chest tighten and my heart breaks all over again. My feelings must have been painted across my face because my father looked furious with my mother

“Really Tiffany! Have some freaking tack, your sons bestfriend just died and your talking about him like that.”

“Oh I am so sorry Baekhyun, come here baby.” What did she mean she hoped I didn't find out this way? I must have spoken out loud without realizing it because Mom leaned in to hear what I had said

“huh? what did you say?” I start to feel anger pool through me. They knew about this and didn't bother to tell me, they knew something was wrong with me and didn't tell
“What did you mean you didn't want me to find out this way? Find out what” They only stare at me in shock “Find out what!” Mom flinched as my voice broke.

“Stop yelling Baekhyun your giving me a head ache.”

“Tiffany honey please stop talking.”My father turns back to me with a serious expression on his face “Listen Baekhyun your not human.”

”What?!”

“Shhh listen, you are from very long line of powerful beings called banshees”

“The old ladies that scream when someone dies.”

“Yes and no. Banshee are beings of any age or gender usually female that have a very strong connection to the land of the dead, We herald the death of those around us by screaming, some of us the powerful ones can hear the voices of the dead” My mother then took over

“The parents of the banshee are supposed to teach them how to control and to live with their gift, training usually starts when high school is over or when the parents feel that the child is ready. We were waiting till summer break to start training you, we didn't think anyone around you would pass away so soon. You experienced what an untrained Banshee's voice could do, it's like a bomb hurting everyone in the proximity. It is a terrifying experience and I don't wish it upon anyone.”

My mother gets up off the sofa and move over to where I am sitting. She wipes away the tears on my face that I didn't even realize were pouring down my cheeks, at that moment I feel myself just let everything out, i'm full blown sobbing into my moms shoulder when my dad walks over to me and they both hold me as I cry.

After hours of crying and emotional talking I finally go up to my room. I walk in and bump into my flat screen t.v on the stand, huh one of these days i'm gonna knock it over. I think about moving it now but as soon as the thought crosses my mind it's gone, not now. I fall onto my full sized bed and stare at the walls of my room which are adorned with various posters and a board full pictures of my friends and I and other little knick nacks. I let out a long sign and begin changing into my night clothes before turning the lights off and I climb into my bed under my navy blue comforter.

“I could have saved him.” I whispered into the dark

Baekhyun's story ends

“And after that it just went down hill from there, I couldn't go back to school even though the kids couldn't prove anything they all knew what I did, I also couldn't bare the look of pure hate that Youngjae was giving me.” Wow this Is the first time I have talked about this since it happened and it's all just hitting me at once. I feel this lump growing in my chest but I know I need to finish my story. Taking a deep breathe I look up at the two men sitting in front of me.

“...Baekhyun you don't have to keep going” I wave Chanyeol concern off and continue speaking

“I lacked control, I was too unstable emotionally to learn anything that my parents were trying to teach me. If only I had been better I could have noticed and prevented it.” Minseok interrupts for the first time since i started my story

“Prevented what?” i'm not sure how to say. I haven't really acknowledged what happened in years hell I ran away when it first happened.

“My parents death. You see with my lack of control I would pick up on random people's death all over the city and I just couldn't focus. If only I had been better I would have noticed.” Chanyeol suddenly stands up and sits next to me giving me a big hug. For several seconds we just hug before I need to go on with the story.

“After that other members of my family tried to take me in but I couldn't bear to be around anyone, I could't go through all of that again. Not until I could control myself. So I went away to be by myself, it was weird because I was so used to being surrounded by people but I got used to it or at least I told myself that. Before I even realized six years had went by and by then I couldn't really function around people....until I ran into Chanyeol or should I say when he attacked me. I was able to calm him down and get him out of his craziness long enough for me to get away but I couldn't just leave him alone like that, he looked so lost and alone and maybe....maybe I also did it for myself I was so tired of being alone” When I said the part about Chanyeol attacking me I could see that Minseok disproved.

“So he attacks people on a regular basis?”

“What? Oh no he's usually really good at controlling himself.” by the look he was giving me I could tell he obviously didn't believe me. Welp I tried

“If you say so.” he suddenly turns towards Chanyeol“Your turn.”

Chanyeol Pov

Dear god he's looking at me, he wants me to speak. I look at Baekhyun and he nods his head, I take a deep breathe

“I don't really have anything to say, I had a normal life, stay at home mom with a dad that worked all the time and an older sister that wished I wasn't there. Everything changed my first day of college when I was walking home late from class. I got the sudden feeling that someone was following me, I would look around but I would see no one. I could feel myself starting to freak out until I was hyperventilating. I stopped walking to calm myself down, telling myself that I was freaking out over nothing(Which I did often) until I heard a branch snap behind me. It felt like my whole world had froze before I tool off in a full blown sprint dropping everything in my hands. It felt like I was running forever when I finally saw my dorm come into view when I felt myself thrown onto the ground. I out, I don't remember what happened I woke up with this thirst that I just couldn't control and I was like that all year long until I met Baekhyun, he changed everything for me. No longer was my life in a blurry haze not knowing what was happening, he woke me up he was like the light in the dark” I look over and notice he's smiling at me so I smile back

“And we've been together ever since, I have a job and Chanyeol takes classes online while he also works part time.” Minseok seemed to be satisfied with our answers, thank god the man is terrifying

“Ok so that explains a lot bu-” We all snap our heads to the bed room when we hear groaning. Minseok jumps up from his seat and rushes over to the room where Tao is attempting to sit up in the bed “Tao no don't try to get up stay down you idiot.”

“What's going on?”

“You've been sick the past week, also we found the guy that turned you well Sehun found him.” Tao suddenly jumps up from were he's laying and looks at me with a frightend look in his eye. Guilt hits me full force and I feel sick, I did this this is my fault. I'm a Monster

“What! Ow”

“Didn't I tell you to lay down!”

“Hyung stop yelling at me you're giving me a head ache.”

“I'll do more than make your head hurt if you don't listen to me.” We didn't hear the door open or close so when we see Jongdae tackle Tao on the bed it catches everyone off guard

“Tao your up!!!”

“Ow Jongdae” Jongdae just continues to hug him

“Sorry! I was just so worried, don't you ever do that to us again.”

“What did I even do!?”

The three of them continue to go back and forth with each other I start to get this feeling of loneliness until I feel arms wrap around my waist.

“Get that stupid look off your face. Everything seems to have turned out fine right.”

“Yeah bu-”

“So it's okay yeol, as long as we get better from here.”
