The culprit

Souls of the Damned

~Yumi~

---------------------------------

I wasn't sure what was going on inside of JaeJoong's head but if there was something that I was sure of, He was thinking of Yuri and hear threats. After he had left me, the facial expression was so stiff and so serious that I couldn't help but feel a bit worried over him.

Luckily we got to study freely on our first class since it was an individual project and I didn't hesitate for a second as I left my stuff behind and got out from the classroom, as the other students were making their way to the library. I ran down the hallway, looking for JaeJoong's class and soon enough I found the class that he was suppose to be in but couldn't be found anywhere in there. I kept staring through the glass but not a single trace of him anywhere in the room.


Worriedly I started to wonder if he had gone back home in order to hunt or if he just lied to me and went somewhere else. The fear of him trying to search for Yuri attacked me instantly and I started to run down the hallway, as I tried to see through JaeJoong's white lie about him being thirsty, wanting to feed himself. I soon got the feeling that he was nowhere around the school and I started to wonder if any of the other guys were there.

Hurriedly I kept on running down the hallway, hoping that I would find Junsu since he was in the same hallway as me. I arrived at the first door which was history and my eyes were quickly looking through the classroom and I soon found him sitting close to the window as his eyes were blankly staring ahead. He looked very concentrated and deep into his thoughts. Did the teacher notice?

I took one step back but kept looking at him through the window. I was going to try something which I have never done before and if their senses are that strong, he would hear me right?

I kept looking at him as I took a deep breath

"Junsu? Can you hear me? I need you, please come outside"

His head turned towards the door halfway through the sentence and his eyes met mine instantly. I then saw him standing up, excusing himself and a few seconds later he was outside

"Yumi? What's wrong? You're alright?" He asked and started to check on me

"JaeJoong.. he's not here" I said

Junsu stopped checking and looked at me

"What are you talking about?"

"I just get the feeling that something is seriously wrong and I just can't point out what but before Jae left me, he had this weird and serious facial expression on his face but when I asked him he said that he needed blood, needed to feed but the weird thing is that.. I somehow felt that he was lying to me"

"Yumi..."

"And I ran to his classroom but he's not there so obviously he's out hunting or... searching for Yuri"

Junsu stiffened when I mentioned Yuri's name and he started to avoid my eyes as he looked around and scratched the back of his hand

"Junsu? What is going on? Is he searching for Yuri?" I stuttered and walked after him

"You're suppose to be in class"

"You're suppose to be honest"

My last sentence caused Junsu to stop wandering around and he stopped in front of me, sighing and then looking around

"We found her trace earlier today and.."

"We? So the other guys are searching for her too?" I asked

"Look Yumi.."

"Please just.. answer" I said frustrated

"Yes"

"Then what are you doing here?" I asked

"Someone has to watch over you"

"I can't believe this" I said and spun around and walked away from Junsu and started to wander around in the hallway

I then suddenly noticed Junsu's facial expression change and the seriousness changed to shocked expression and then anger

"What.. What's wrong?" I stuttered and hurried over

"I gotta go, stay close to your friends and don't be alone anywhere, you hear me?" Junsu said hurriedly

"NO TELL ME!!"

"I can't, I don't have time for this!" Junsu said while trying to get rid off me

"Take me with you! You can't just leave me here" I said angrily

Junsu hesitated for a second but then nodded and took my hand as we ran out from the hallway and schoolyard. We hurriedly ran into the woods and when Junsu thought that no one could see us, without even warning me he took me into his arms and then he ran for his life. So fast that it was almost impossible for me to keep my eyes open and I hurriedly closed them and hugged onto Junsu as hard as I could. Not that I think that I needed to since Junsu were already holding onto me and I don't think that he would drop me on the way but I was scared.

Junsu then stopped running and stopped as he let me down and I was a bit dizzy at first but when I saw the scene in front of me I couldn't help but to stare at it with horror

"CHANGMIN!"

I ran as fast as I could over to his side and he was sweating tons as he was holding onto his wound on his stomach.

"TAKE IT OUT!" I shouted

"WE CAN'T!" Yunho said frustrated

I was watching Changmin's pained face as he was suffering from the stake and I then saw the burning hands, with burned marks on Yoochun's, Yunho's and JaeJoong's hands.

Even JaeJoong was sweating as he tried to figure out a solution to help Changmin as Changmin was fighting to keep the pain away

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Junsu's scream scared me as he wobbled back after his hands being burned by trying to get the stake out. I looked back at Changmin whose face was changing, from his dark black eyes, dark circles to normal. It was scary and he was sweating more and more as he tried to get the stake out but only in vain since he was getting burned as well

I then saw the solution and the reason to why the guys couldn't pull the stake out. I fell down right beside Changmin who was breathing heavier and heavier as he groaned in pain. The stake must have been dipped into vervain right?

I then became determined and took a deep breath and with every possible muscle that was needed in order to pull it out, I had to use it all.

"Just keep breathing" I whispered and looked at Changmin who opened his eyes and kept breathing while nodding

I then took a hard grip around the stake and it felt like forever before I finally felt the stake moving and coming out from him

He screamed in pain but at least the worse was over. I looked at the stake in my hand and quickly ran over to the lake and tossed it into the water and then hurried back to be by Changmin's side

His breathing became normal and I saw the wound of his healing right in front of me.

"Yumi" JaeJoong said and hurried over to hug me

I hugged him back as I felt my heartbeats becoming normal after helping Changmin. The adrenaline, the fear.. the frustration and anger. I couldn't help but to feel it all. This must have been Yuri's work.. right?

I pulled away from JaeJoong and hurried down onto the ground as I caressed and wiped away the sweat from Changmin's face. He kept on breathing but soon his face became more and more normal

"Where is she?!" Junsu asked

"She disappeared" JaeJoong said

I kept on taking care of Changmin until he was able to stand on his feet with the help of Yunho and Yoochun

"Why did she come here?" I asked and looked at JaeJoong

"I don't know" He answered

"Were you searching for her? Why would you do that?" I asked

"I didn't, she showed up and the guys caught up with the trace and followed her, finding her sitting here and waiting.."

"For you"

JaeJoong took a deep breath but sighed as he nodded

I let out a frustrated and heavy sigh as well as I spun around in order to not face JaeJoong

"So when you said that you were leaving earlier since you needed blood, you actually went down here?"

"Yes"

"Why didn't you just tell me the truth?" I asked and faced JaeJoong again

"Because I didn't want you to come with me and I don't want you to be any near or close to that girl. She can easily rip you into pieces"

"But that still doesn't give you a reason to lie to me right?"

"It was for your own safety" JaeJoong sighed

"Just stop arguing please? It's.. over now.. and JaeJoong is .. right Yumi"

Changmin's soft but heavy words and breathing forced me to let this go since it wasn't really the right time to argue with him.

"You guys should take him home.." I mumbled

"I'll walk her back to school" Junsu offered

"I'll do that" JaeJoong said

Junsu nodded and JaeJoong dusted off the dirt from his clothes before he walked over to me

"I'm sorry" He whispered

I looked at him and nodded quietly

"You can take me back to school and then go back to the mansion. Changmin needs to be taken care of"

"He'll heal, after some blood he will heal. You won't. A single scratch on you can be the last scratch you'll ever get" JaeJoong said

"I'm alright"

"Yes but if we just leave you alone, for one single second.. you can get hurt"

I sighed

"If it makes you feel more at ease" I shrugged

"Thank you" JaeJoong said

Suddenly something that sounded like a gunshot was fired off from somewhere and shockingly I stared, looking around as I tried to find the culprit who just fired

But I didn't have much time to think abou tthat cause suddenly Yunho were on the ground. He was screaming and growling, groaning out of pain as he rolled around on the ground. Yoochun and Junsu were quick, running into the woods, trying to find the culprit

JaeJoong and I ran over to Yunho as Changmin tried to help his hyung as much as he could

"YAH YAh!!" JaeJoong shouted

"Yunho, you're going to be fine" I said, not knowing what to do as tears started to fall as I was helplessly looking at him. But he was going to be alright, right? I mean it was a gun shot so a gun can't kill him

JaeJoong found the wound soon and he looked at the wound as he let out an angry growl and his face changed in a second as he took out the bullet from Yunho's shoulder

I stared at the bullet but soon noticed that it wasn't a normal bullet

"That's not a .. gun bullet.. right?" I asked

"It's made out of tree" JaeJoong gritted his teeth coldly as he answered my question

Yunho was able to sit up after 10 minutes and I was letting Changmin leaning himself onto me as JaeJoong was looking around, probably listening after anything that would give him a sign of Yoochun and Junsu coming back.

And he soon heard something

But the thing that was more weird was that his expression changed entirely and he became even worse than before. Angrier than before. His eyes shifted and became dark as the night as his black blood veins and circles around his eyes appeared

Yoochun and Junsu returned with someone and in a second the person was thrown down on the ground in front of me

"DONGHAE!!?!?!"
