Hunter In The Night
Sing Me To Sleep
..----PAT----..
She had been running from him for a year now, changing houses every one month. There had been nights when she was forced to sleep without a roof over her head.
All her woes started ever since her parents died in the summer, two years back and her brother becoming a follower of the lightheists. They were supposed to stick together but she had to flee as her brother intended to give her away to his master- the faeris' head- Kris Wu.
Now, Kris was after her, hunting her like a hound. Pat couldn't think of any reason for which he was pursuing her. As far as she knew, he already had 14 wives, all of them from powerful families whereas she was a mere human.
Kris's past was a mystery that no one could fathom.
Some say that he was a Darktheist who converted into a Lightheist, which is why he is so ruthless. Converting is considered to be a filthy act. A person becomes vicious and monstrous when he or she converts. But the level of viciousness or hideousness depends on what they had been earlier. The humans who converted were nothing more than animals- savage animals. The guard faeries were converts too and so were cruel and dangerous if not trained. They took orders only from their masters.
A bloodchilling shriek of a guard faerie broke the peace of the night. Though Pat was on one of the tallest buildings, it was useless for her to see beyond the fog.
She couldn't risk using the streets as faeries had started patrolling the streets of Seoul everynight. She didn't know exactly what was up between the two realms but whatever it was..it was disturbing.
It had been two days since she left the house and she hadn't made much progress as the watchful eyes of the fareies made it difficult for her to work at night.
She kissed her locket, pulled the hood over her head and walked towards the edge of the roof.
Without wasting any more time, she tied the rope onto her waist and hooked the other end to a pole. She was well trained and hadn't had much trouble swooping down the bulding, the rope holding her securely. Pat landed on the pavement and checked around for any sign of movement. Sure that no one saw her, she sprinted towards her right, making as little noise as possible.
CHANYEOL
Chanyeol felt the wind blowing against his body as he sped through the deserted streets of Seoul on his Harley Davidson- a Street 500. Two other motorbikes followed him with Baekhyun, Xiumin on them.
Suho had sent them to secure the vaults situated underground just below the Namchan Tower. Well for them securing always meant looking and goofing around. Even in the crisis, all of them managed to be cheerful and sassy, well maybe with the exception for a few, few people who were made of the same stuff as Suho and Kyungsoo.
Chanyeol looked back and smiled. Baekhyun and Xiumin were grateful to be out of the house as well.
They finally arrived at their destination: Namchan Tower.
They parked their Davidsons in the deserted parking lot and walked towards the vault entrance together.
"Its too quiet."- Chanyeol said.
"where are the humans? isn't it their spot to hang out?"- Baekhyun asked no one in particular.
"Well it was but now the Lighteist and Darktheist guardians have set up guards to patrol the streets, so no one really comes out at night."- Xiumin informed them, his face stoic and expressionless.
"The guard faeries sure look scary and ugly in their attack forms. They must be creeping out the humans."- Baekhyun said, smiling arrogantly.
"Talk about yourself. You look pretty as a princess when YOU are in your attack form"- Chanyeol said sarcastically.
Xiumin let out a breezy laugh making Baekhyun look like an idiot.
There were some faeries walking around with their long, sparkling spears. They acknowleged Chanyeol and his brothers with a simple nod as they walked towards the lift.
Chanyeol glanced up at the moon one last time. He was feeling uneasy. He hadn't had foxrip petals today as he believed he needed a clear mind. At the moment, he considered that as the reason for his feeling uneasy. He pushed the thought out of his mind and joined his brothers in the lift.
He closed his eyes for the wave of claustrophobia to hit him. Chanyeol bit his lip as he tried hard to think of something useful. Beside him, Baekhyun squeezed his arm.
"hey, its just for a few seconds."- he whispered.
Chanyeol nodded as he pressed on the wound of his arm with his nails, hoping that the pain would make it easier.
