~Yumi~

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

I stared and looked around. Anything, anything that could help me or get me out of here. The bars were untouchable to me since it was all drained in vervain. I tried to listen, to hear anything that would be able to help me to locate me or maybe JaeJoong or anyone was out there looking for me. 

I looked around as the stupid dim light was not putting any help to my vision. 

Analyze. I was a vampire now wasn't I? There must be something that could help me, anything

I stared and looked around, anxiety making my heart rush like hell, my teeth hurting and every part of my body was worried to death over JaeJoong.

After 30 min which felt like ages, I finally gave up and just landed flat down on my and tried to accept the fact that I had no chance in this cage. I wouldn't be able to get out of here unless someone helped me and I wouldn't be able to get out of here either since Donghae had been very careful with not putting anything near me. And he also made sure that the vervain was everywhere so that I was trapped. 

I sighed heavily as I looked around

"There must be a way. Any way.. Jae.." I sobbed frustrated as I got up on my feet again and looked around, strolled around for the second time, knowing that there was nothing that would be able to help me but I tried to lie to myself, tell myself that there must be something. 

I stared at the bars and an idea was slowly forming. 

"If they can do it. I should be able to" I whispered

I walked towards the bars and with a finger I touched the bars that immediately started the burning, my skin was melting and I felt the pain taking over. But I refused to scream. I took the finger away and breathed heavily as I looked at the bars again. 

"There is no other way" I said to myself as I stared at the bars. I had enough with power and strength to bend the bars but the pain made me flinch and back away

But if JaeJoong could risk his life for me, I should be able to do it for him as well. I know I can do it. But I need to find a resistance against the pain.

~JaeJoong~

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

There was no trace of her. Nothing. Her scent, footprints, anything that would lead me to her It was blank and I knew that someone must have erased it or somehow been very careful with destroying it. 

"There is nothing. Seriously. NOTHING" Kibum said angrily

"Donghae has been here"

His scent would never leave me. It was imprinted in my mind

I hadn't survived for 300 years only to get the one I love snatched away by an immature vampire that was trying to force her to be with him. Loving someone is giving her the dedication and support. The love and the most important, choices. Options 

"Let's split up. We won't be able to find her this way" Yunho suggested

"Exactly How do we find her? There's no trace" Junsu sighed

"Just use every ability that we possess. Cause I don't know what Donghae are capable of. But I'm pretty sure he's going to kill us. All of us" I said

"He won't be able to do that" Changmin said

"Something tells me that he is" I mumbled and looked at Changmin

All the guys disappeared, one by one. I started to run myself and I knew that even though the fight with Yuri was over, the fight over Yumi would be even harder since Donghae.. well love do drive you crazy

Every sense, everything in my body was on alert. I scanned every possible space that was to be seen and my senses was on hunting mode. My eyes dark and I sensed everything, 

I stopped in my tracks as I felt a bit weird. Something was oddly wrong. Was I being followed?

I smirked lightly and even a laugh came out and I speeded up. This vampire had nothing on me, I knew that myself so I ran even faster, got up in a tree and  waited with a stake in my hands. 

Soon a vampire stopped. Not too far away from my own tree where I was sitting. I decided to play a little game. I wanted to wait until the vampire caught my scent and when he realized that I was up in the tree, I would stake him. 

After exactly 34 seconds, at least according to my counting I found myself laughing while standing over his body while he shrinked and changed. 

"So much for following huh?" I said angrily

~Yumi~

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

I stumbled my way out of the bars, exhausted, burned and in pain. 

It had taken me an hour just to bend the freaking bars and every part of my body felt like it was about to break and rot. 

I had managed to get through, pushing myself through but I had to use all of my strength, determination and endure the pain. Now I understand why it hurts so much. It was like being burned alive but so much worse. I took off my black sweater and stared at the scars that started to heal. I stumbled out of the cabin and collapsed on the ground right outside, feeling the fresh air embracing me and the lovely scent of the forest. 

Donghae probably thought that I wouldn't be able to make it through didn't he? That I wasn't so stubborn and that I wouldn't be able to endure the pain. This was probably worse than death, worse than having the knife going through my body, having the stake that Yuri used to kill me. You were being turtored alive with the vervain against your body

I got up on my feet and started to run, slowly and stumble and I had to lean against every tree when I felt like my legs were collapsing. 

The wounds were healing but it was taking an awfully long time to do so. Was I already destroying my body ? Impossible. But after all, I was new to this life. I wasn't even a week old. 

I lied down on the ground, exhausted and breathed heavily as I felt the wind touching my skin, freely passing me by but at the same time, soothing the wounds on my arms, face and upper body

"YUMI!!!"

A voice that I recognized as Changmin's could be heard but it felt like I was hallucinating

"YUMI!" Yunho's voice. 

I started to laugh absurdly at myself as I realized that the pain was giving me hallucinations. I closed my eyes and tried to remember how to breathe even though I didn't have to

"Yumi!! YUMI!!" 

I felt myself being moved and I was actually lying in somebody's arms

"We have to get her out of here" Yunho said

"She's a mess. What did he do to her?" Changmin's voice was angry

I opened my eyes and to my surprise I saw Yunho and Changmin actually being in front of me

"I'm not dreaming am I?" I asked hoarse

"You're alright? You're safe, we're right here" Changmin said

I heard Yunho dialing the other guy's numbers . Changmin got up while carrying me and I felt myself cuddling closer to him as he was running. 

"What did he do to you?" Changmin asked angrily

"He's gonna kill JaeJoong Changmin.." 

"We know" Yunho said

"Junsu and Kibum are looking for him now while Yoochun is on his way to meet up with us" Changmin explained

"She needs blood" Yunho stated

"No.." I protested

"You won't heal faster then. You have to Yumi" Yunho said

"What did he do?" Changmin asked angrily

"Vervain" Yunho answered

"I was locked up.. in a cage... the bars were drained in vervain" I mumbled

"YUMI!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was soon moved over to someone else's arms and when I looked up I couldn't help but put on a faint smile

"Hey there" He whispered lovingly

"Hey.. you're okay?"

"I should be asking you that" JaeJoong said

I felt JaeJoong stiffen suddenly and I felt my own body stiffen as well. It was a reflex. I felt myself getting a bit stronger and when Kibum threw me a bag, I drank it in one go as I felt myself being surrounded by the boys

"Together.. at last" Donghae said

I dropped my bag onto the ground and stared at him

"Who knew you were so determined and stubborn that you would get out of the cage?" Donghae laughed

"Leave her.. out of this" JaeJoong gritted his teeth and said coldly

"I was planning to.. but somehow she escaped so... I guess I'll take that as her crashing the party

"What party?" Junsu said angrily

"This party"

Suddenly I heard vampires everywhere and before I even had time to react, the war had already started
