Claws Out

Obviously, we’ll get wet on rainy days

Dry out on sunny days, and shiver on cold days

The next day we’ll forget, and on windy days we’ll try to fly away

That’s just the way things are

Go cry

Go smile

It's something good to do to live as you want

I'm on your side

Your life is all yours

So don't let other people force you to be good

Be kind to yourself

Kaze no Hi - Ellegarden

Haneul swiftly raised a leg over the windowsill and pulled herself up, easily going inside the bedroom. She checked her clothes, a simple white t-shirt with Deal with it written on it and jeans shorts. White wasn't the kind of color Hyejin expected to see on her since she was extremely pale already but that simple, more down-to-earth look suited her.

"I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry."

"It's alright." It wasn't quite alright but Hyejin didn't want to let her frustration over what happened because of Jinki affect her relationship with other people. "There is a door though…"

Haneul nodded, seeming to completely miss the point."I know, but I didn't want to bother everyone. It's faster this way."

Hyejin couldn't agree with her and tiredly sat on the bed.

"Did you come to ask about Minho? He did send you a package."

"He told me on the phone but no, I came to see you."

"Me?" It wasn't as if they were best friends or anything, but it didn't seem like Haneul had many female people to turn to. "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing. I just know that we need to be friends."

Hyejin smiled. Haneul still had a lot to learn when it came to human relationships and the way friendships develop. The last time someone told Hyejin that they should be friends was when she was in elementary grade.

“We need to?” Hyejin rubbed her head and searched for the box Minho gave her in the middle of hers and Jinki’s luggage.

Haneul picked a yellow dress from Hyejin’s bag that she had bought that week and still hadn’t come around to wear and raised it to take a good look at it “Yes, I should be with you. I'm certain you will need my help.”

“Right now?” Hyejin finally found the package and picked it up.

“No.” Haneul placed the dress in front of her body and looked at herself in the mirror. She was thinner and taller than Hyejin so it wouldn't fit her well but she didn’t look that bad in yellow either. “Someday.”

Hyejin offered the box to her and Haneul gave the dress back. “Sometimes you say things that truly freak me out.”

“Yeah, everyone says that nowadays.” Haneul grabbed the box but didn't take her eyes away from Hyejin. Even though her gaze didn't move an inch it seemed as if she was seeing through her and her mind was somewhere else, her eyes dull and almost inhuman. Hyejin hugged herself, Haneul’s expression scaring her.

“I-is something wrong?”

“Ice.” Haneul’s lips moved into a small smile and she tore her eyes away to the box “You will need ice.”

“Ice?”

“Put ice in it, that's what I mean.” Haneul shrugged and then worked on opening the box to peek inside. "There is nothing wrong in allowing your claws out once in a while." Hyejin stared at her confused but before she got to ask what she meant Haneul was already pushing herself up and out of the bedroom through the window.

“Hey wait a minute…” Hyejin leaned over the windowsill but Haneul completely ignored her and like a kid was walking away holding the present Minho sent for her.

“What the hell…” Hyejin cursed, biting her lower lip. She hesitated, a part of her thinking that she was stupid for worrying over Haneul’s words but what if someone got hurt. What if it was Jinki?!

Hyejin groaned and then tried to mimic what Haneul did since it was indeed the faster way to follow her. But she wasn't as light as her and it took her a long time to pull herself up and out through the window. She even had to use a chair to help herself up. As soon as she landed outside she was already regretting her decision, yet she went down the path Haneul followed. It didn't take her long to realize that she wasn't going to find her and worse that she had no idea where she was anymore.

Unfortunately, almost all the houses around Jinki’s parents' house looked almost the same. Clearly, the families living there were rich, probably well renowned traditional Tiger Clan families, and their gardens were all connected making it seem as if everyone lived in an ideal village in the middle of the woods and not near a busy city like Seoul.

Hyejin stopped next to a tree and thought about her options. It wasn't safe for a human to go for a walk alone there, worse when she was without Jinki and no one knew who she was. Yes, they probably all went to her and Jinki's marking ceremony but that didn't mean that they knew who she was. She raised her arm and touched the scar on her wrist. Jonghyun once said that she was perfect but that small scar was the only thing on her he didn't like. Not only did it represent her connection with Jinki but also it made her smell like him as if he had made a claim on her body. Well in a way he did and even though she saw it as romantic, in the case of a human it literally meant that she was his source of food and no one could eat from her. It wasn't a big scent according to him yet she wondered if she could raise her wrist and let them smell in case some awful tiger came her way looking famished.

“Aish.” Hyejin turned around trying to figure out her way back and that's when she noticed someone peeking at her from a window. She frowned thinking that she would have to show her wrist soon but it was a familiar face and not a dangerous one.

Seo ah, Taemin’s ex-fiance was watching her and Hyejin raised her hand in a greeting. The woman blinked her eyes, seeming surprised, and then pulled the curtains cutting Hyejin’s view of her.

“Oh…” She was disappointed. They never talked before but she had hoped that she could get closer to more people of the clan and if Taemin loved her then she probably was a good person.

“Hi.” A timid voice startled Hyejin that had gone on track following her way back.

“Hello.” Seo ah grabbed her arm gently and pulled her back to a tree looking anxiously at her house. “My parents are a little afraid of you.” She explained making Hyejin narrow her eyes.

“What? I should be the one afraid, after all, I'm only human…”

“Exactly. You must be a special human to have matched with the chief's older son. Besides, you look so healthy.”

“I-do? Thanks.” Did they think that Jinki was using her as food after all?

“You share your energy. It's impressive.” Seo ah explained, “My parents...they are very overprotective and they worry about me.”

“I see.” Even though her explanation had some truth in it, Hyejin wasn't entirely convinced that that was the only reason. It seemed more like they were keeping an eye on her for other reasons. “I didn't get to introduce myself before at the ceremony but I'm Hyejin.”

“I know…” Seo Ah blushed slightly and Hyejin smiled. She was truly beautiful out of a fairytale and fitted Taemin perfectly, a prince and a princess from a real story.

“I noticed you there. I was jealous because I was sitting waiting for Jinki and you were dancing with Taemin and…” Hyejin pressed her lips together realizing her mistake. Seo ah looked down her cheeks turning from red to almost white.

“I'm sorry I didn't mean…”

“It's alright. He broke up with me.” She tucked her black hair behind her ear “It's not like I'm the first one to have gone through a breakup.”

“Hey, I need to find my place back home. Maybe you can help me?” Hyejin smiled to herself hoping that she could use that chance to create a meeting between Seo ah and Taemin.

Seo ah hesitated, worriedly looking at her house but ended up agreeing. “It's close, just down this way.” Hyejin walked beside her admiring her profile once in a while, impressed with her looks. They didn't talk much, only about the weather and how the garden looked pretty and she was right, the house was extremely close and Hyejin wasn't as lost as she had thought.

“Well thank you so much, every house here looks the same to me.” Hyejin chuckled. “Well, Jinki’s parents' house is the exception.”

“They are very similar, yes. I'm glad I could help.”

“Want to come in?” Hyejin asked stepping in front of Seo Ah, stopping her from leaving. “As a thank you for helping me, maybe we could have some tea.” It wasn't even her house but Hyejin was willing to pass as rude to Jinki’s mother as long as she got to help Taemin.

“No, I better not.”

“Don't…” Hyejin her lips “Don't you want to see him?”

Seo ah eyes widened and she looked at her feet.

“You do, don't you?” It was probably why she was hiding from her parents. Certainly, they wouldn't approve if she went to see her ex-fiance.

“It's….pointless, silly.” Seo ah cried “I'm such a fool. I should hate him and yet I want to see him.”

Hyejin patted her arm gently “No you are not a fool. We all do nonsense things like that when we are in love. I can relate. Jinki broke up with me and after crying for months I came after him.”

“I had no idea.”

“Not many know about it but I was actually the one who drove Jinki into marking me. I followed him into the restaurant he was meeting with his possible fiance. Insane right?! When you truly care for someone you do the craziest things. He also regrets pushing me away.”

Seo ah’s eyes brightened up with the revelation as Hyejin hoped. Jinki wasn't the only one regretting ruining a relationship, Taemin did too.

“Please come in. I want to talk more with you. I can tell you all about my love story with Jinki and….

“Hyejin!” Jinki’s voice made both women turn and Seo ah gasped because he wasn't alone. Taemin was beside him.

Both greeted Seo ah, who had a hard time keeping her eyes away from Jinki’s younger brother, who suffered the same problem, looking at her as if no one else was around.

“I should leave.” Seo ah declared but Heyjin held her arm and shook her head.

“Oh no please have some tea with me.” And she added, muttering “I'm certain your parents won't mind if it's Jinki's family who invited you.”

Seo ah bit her lower lip and her gaze met Taemin’s again. He tensely smiled at her which only made her panic more.

“Seo ah we need to talk.”

“I can't right now.” She turned to Hyejin “I must leave now.”

Hyejin sadly released her but this time it was Taemin blocking Seo ah’s path.

“I'm sorry. I screwed up and I lost you but I haven't not even for a small second stopped….”

“Stop!” Seo ah begged too conscious of their surroundings and the fact that they were not alone “It's too late!”

“No, hear me out…”

“Taemin, you don't understand!”

“We should leave.” Jinki grabbed Hyejin’s hand but they barely gave a few steps before Jae Hui came to them.

“Oh, I see that the perfect sons have come home!”

Seo ah jumped on her place as if only his voice was able to terrify her and Taemin frowned, tensing up.

“Lee Jinki, the humans' lover and his….” Jae-Hui sniffed near Hyejin and Jinki pushed him back “...bag of sweet treats! And here…” he passed by Jinki and approached Taemin and Seo ah “The useless ex of my beautiful fiance.”

“No, you didn't…” Taemin stared at Seo ah betrayed.

“My parents decided that I had to marry fast.” She looked devastated.

“You probably had a lot of proposals.”

“She did but her parents chose me.” Jae Hui grinned “Like I said they would!”

“She is not marrying you!” Taemin growled.

“Seo ah will you let your ex talk to me like this?” he reached out for her and pulled her beside him which she did reluctantly looking almost pleading at Taemin. Jae Hui provocatively caressed her back. “Don't we look good together? Can you imagine the beautiful cubs we will have? Oh, I can't wait for our wedding night.”

“You er!” Taemin pushed him away from Seo ah which only made Jae Hui aggressively face him.

“Do you have a problem with me, dog lover?” He pushed Taemin too “Not my fault that you gave her away and for what? To go get drunk at an illegal casino and get into fights?!” Jae Hui's lips turned into a provocative smile and Jinki stepped closer standing between his brother and him. Jae Hui wasn't only an awful earth god he was also dangerous and he knew too much already about what they have been up to lately.

“Why don't you walk away?” Jinki said trying to look calm but Hyejin knew he was very tense, she felt it on her skin as if she also shared the same emotions as him. “I’m sure you must be busy taking care of your grandfathers every whim. After all, he doesn't trust you.” Jinki sighed dramatically “What did he use to call you when you were younger?! Ah right, the brainless idiotic grandson.”Jinki’s smile slowly faded into a serious dangerous expression “And stop meddling in other people's businesses.”

Jae Hui’s eyes moved to Jinki and then to Hyejin “Tell me because I'm curious.” He grinned turning back to Jinki “How does it work? Do you take turns or both you and the dog have a taste of her at the same time?”

Hyejin barely had time to acknowledge what was happening because in a blink of an eye Jinki punched Jae Hui and was over him ready to continue what he had started. Taemin pulled him back while Seo ah screamed at them to stop.

“Tell me…” Jae Hui kept provoking Jinki, touching his hurt cheek “Can I also have a taste?”

Jinki struggled in Taemin’s arms and even though Hyejin hated the guy she knew it was better to stop that madness. She stepped in the middle too and pushed Jae Hui back yelling at him to leave but he only laughed at her.

“You smell good, I bet you taste as good! Can I get my share?”

“You son of a…” Jinki never finished because Hyejin raised her fist and punched Jae Hui, hitting him in the eye. Both her and the man double her size cried in pain but that seemed to have finished the argument.

“Haneul was right about the ice.” Hyejin mumbled, pressing the small bag of ice against her knuckles. She never had done something like that before and even though it seemed like a car had run over her hand she didn't regret it a bit. Jinki, who was sitting beside her in the bed of his bedroom, looked at her proudly as if she had won a competition of some sort.

She would have been happier if she didn't have to endure the way his father was looking at her and both his sons.

“I can't believe you! You act as if you are kids! I was pulled out of a meeting because my two sons and…” he raised a hand to gesture at her still unable to give her a proper title and Hyejin frowned “Were caught in a fight with another member of a clan. You are not in kindergarten anymore Jinki!”

“It was my fault.” Taemin intervened, dropping his head into his hand supported by his elbow on Jinki’s desk where he was sitting. “He tried to provoke me by saying things about Seo ah and Jinki interrupted before I punched him and…”

“And?”

“And he was rude to me!” Hyejin finished “And Jinki punched him and then I punched him. I just got so mad. I'm sorry but I don't regret it.”

“I don't either.” Jinki barely could hide his grin “Mostly because he deserved it and also because she looked extremely hot doing it.”

Hyejin gasped, surprised that Jinki would say something like that in front of his father, and even he seemed exasperated with his answer. Jinki’s father pinched the bridge of his nose and groaned.

“What am I going to do with you?!”

"I know this will probably not make me good look in front of the elders and that we fell exactly into Jae Hui's trap but it's not that bad!” Jinki interveined “Jae Hui is a ing and I'm sure half of the clan wish they could do the same and…”

“And you did well.” His father finished making all three grown-up kids being scolded stare at him, not expecting it. “I wish you solved the matter in another way but I can't deny that in the same circumstances I would have done the same thing…probably.”

A chuckle came from behind him from Jinki’s mom who was by the door watching the scolding.

“Anyway, you probably need to rest.” The older man coughed and turned around and left the bedroom. Jinki’s mother blinked an eye at her boys and then left too, followed by Taemin that closed the door of the bedroom leaving Jinki and Hyejin alone.

“Well, it was an interesting first day.”

Jinki chuckled, pulling the bag of ice up to check her hand. She spread her fingers grimacing with the pain.

“I can't believe she is going to get married to that awful man.” Hyejin didn't think she could stand to be near Jae Hui for more than five minutes and yet Seo ah would have to live with him, sleep with him, god….what a nightmare.

“My brother is devastated. He hoped that she would still be free from engagement, that he still stood a chance to amend things.”

“We need to break this engagement.” Hyejin decided and Jinki shook his head, noticing the familiar glint of her eyes.

“That's impossible. Jae Hui will never break it. He hates us. He is probably engaged to her only to piss Taemin off.”

Hyejin sighed “There must be a way.”

“Hyejin, I love my brother but we really should steer away from trouble. And I don't want you near him. He wasn't joking today, he won't hesitate to hurt you if he gets the chance.”

“He probably hates me more now that I punched him.”

Jinki's laughter filled the room. “Yeah he does but I can't help but smile every time I remember him crying covering his hurt eye.”

Hyejin shook her head “That misogynistic bastard. I need to help Seo ah, she is so sweet and she deserves better, she deserves someone like Taemin.”

Jinki nodded “Well sadly her parents don't think like that. Even if Taemin goes kneeling they won't accept him now. They won't break an agreement with Jae Hui's family. Would be improper. Something else we need to change in this clan.” Jinki his lips “And you can help with that.”

“Are you saying that you want me to help you?”

“Yes, if I become the chief of this clan I want to change the way women are seen. Seo Ah was raised to believe that she had to get married and serve her husband and not all men are like Taemin. He is willing to let her be more but some are just….” he rubbed his forehead tired “I want you to be like my mother, well more than her. I want you to rule the clan with me.”

“But I'm human…”

“Doesn't matter.” he grabbed her unhurt hand “or better it does. It gives us a perspective we don't have. And you are a woman, you can do more than charity as my mother does, you can truly help me.”

“Your mother does charity?”

“Ah yes. She is great and you can help her at first and once everyone trusts you I'm sure we can do even more.”

“Jinki I…” It was her turn to become insecure. Hyejin didn't lie when she said that she would be by his side every step of the way but she never imagined herself having such a major role like that. She never pictured herself as a first lady of some kind, dueling on a politician's life and that that he was telling her about sounded a lot like something of the kind.

“I don't want anyone to say something like that about you anymore.” he said earnestly, making her tingle inside. “I want everyone to see you more as the human I marked. You are so much more, you can be so much more.”

“Let's get stronger then.”

He nodded and she pressed the bag of ice against her hand.

They would start by controlling the link. Jinki might have not taken her seriously when she suggested to him that they practiced it even if it was through but she had meant it. As soon as they were able to be as one she was sure they would become able to protect each other properly. She would also learn about his mother's work and start helping out. If the clan saw her as more than the human he was feeding from they would accept her. And slowly they would make people get on Jinki’s side and win the chief clan position could become a reality.

“Jinki..”

“Hum?”

“The room, that special room where we….” She closed her eyes trying to master her courage to say the word. “When we had….”

“?” he finished for her.

“Yes, can we use it whenever we want?”

He looked at her amused. “I think it's a bit early to have kids.”

“What?”

“Well it's used for that basically, to raise your libido and as I explained to you that night, it's believed that it helps during mating to have strong babies and…”

“So it raises your ual desire?”

“Well, I guess it puts you in the mood, even though I'm sure that might be only stories…”

“Can we use it even if it's not for the purpose of procreation?”

He chuckled “You want to use the bedroom to play cards or something?”

“No, I want a place where I can feel more comfortable. Your parents can hear us here.”

He smiled remembering how she was worried about Taemin hearing them.

“They won't. The rooms are soundproofed and quite far away from each other because of privacy reasons.”

“Doesn't matter.” Hyejin stared at him, “I want a place to practice the link with you, a place where we can be together and test it in a…more…physical way.”

He watched her in silence. “You want to use the room for us to have and practice the link?”

“Exactly.”

“Hyejin if I take you there we won't be sleeping.”

His words heated her up right to the core and she nodded slowly. “I know.”

“I'm not the same guy from that night. You remember how aroused I was back then. Now, after all the changes in me, I don't know how I will control myself.”

“You said it's just a normal room that you don't believe all the stories about it.”

“Hyejin, we will be closed in a bedroom made for .” Jinki explained a corner of his lips turning up mischievously. “It's not a place for sleeping.”

“It's fine. I don't want to sleep anyway.” He his lips and she grabbed his arm using it to raise herself up to kiss him. “I'm sure we will have to do it several times until we manage to figure it out. Besides, you probably need it since…” she blushed slightly and he raised his fingers to touch her cheek “Since your body is going through changes. You said that your ual needs had increased so…”

“Yes but it's not the same for you.” he ran a thumb down to her lips “My uncontrollable hunger for you might hurt you.”

“I trust you. You will never hurt me.”

He leaned his forehead against hers “You really want to do this?”

“Yes. I want to be truly one with you.”

“Hyejin,” he caressed her lips with his “We are already one.”

How is Hyejin? Did you arrive well? Are you keeping her safe? You better take care of her or I am invading the Tiger Clan territory!

Jinki frowned, reading all of Jonghyu’s texts that he had sent in only a couple of hours.

She is fine and stop annoying me. And don't you dare call her!

Hopefully, he wouldn't learn about Hyejin hurting her hand because of punching Jae Hui. Jinki’s phone vibrated again but this time he ignored it and instead leaned back on the chair of his father’s study.

“Taemin is heartbroken.”

Jinki’s father raised his head from his work. “Because of that girl?”

“Seo ah, yes. She wasn't only a girl.” Jinki narrowed his eyes “She was his fiance.”

“Well...he broke up with her.”

“Because he was confused, He regrets it now and I was thinking that maybe we could help him. I could go talk with her family.”

“Jinki,” His father folded the letter he was reading. “Even if I went to discuss it with them they wouldn't be able to break the engagement. It wouldn't be right and Kyo Chul would be extremely upset.”

“There must be a way to end it.” Jinki sat upright on the chair remembering what Hyejin had suggested that morning during breakfast. “What if they learned that his family isn't a traditional honorable Tiger family.”

“I'm listening.”

“If we prove somehow that they aren't who they seem to be, I mean we all know they are up to no good.”

“Yes, but how do we prove it?”

Jinki tilted his head thinking. “Maybe we could go back to their past. Find a skeleton in their closet.”

“I bet they have more than one. Anyway, researching their family history is a lot of trouble and will take longer than the time we have available.”

“That's true.” Jinki pouted, upset that that led nowhere.

“I was thinking of hiring someone to write about our family actually.”

“Really? I think I know the right person to do it if you don't mind that he is human that is.”

Minho would love it for sure and that would give him a chance to stay closer to Haneul.

“Is he trustworthy?”

“Yes and his family has a law agency, I was thinking of proposing a business alliance with them.”

His father frowned but didn't seem to think that it was a bad idea.

“We need someone that writes more about our past.” Jinki added “We need someone to tell everyone about the present too. He will be perfect.”

“Call him then. I want to meet that man.”

“There is something else I forgot to mention to you.” Jinki bit his lower lip and then told his father about Jonghyun and what he learned about Hyejin's past. Surprisingly his father listened to his story in silence even though the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to multiply by the second with worry.

“Everything you told me, are you certain about it?”

“One hundred percent. The Shaman was there too. He heard the same thing I did.”

“A wolf Jinki? You befriended a damn wolf...they can't be trusted.”

It wasn't as if he was friends with Jonghyun, they were more like rivals yet Jinki didn't like the way his father spoke about him.

“I bet they say the same about us.” Jinki stood up and placed his hands on his father’s desk “Imagine an alliance between the biggest clans in South Korea. The minor ones would follow next.”

“It's too unreal.”

“It can be real.” if it was a few weeks ago his father would have called him crazy but there was something different about Jinki and he felt it, confidence, a will that wasn't there before and it made his father trust him.

“My great cousin was killed by a wolf.”

“I know dad, but we also killed so many wolves before.”

Dad...the word came out naturally and Jinki self consciously looked down.

“Jinki….” His father’s phone rang and he hesitated to pick up the call.

“We can talk about this later.” He couldn't remember the last time he had a conversation with his father that lasted more than five minutes and yet he was in that study with him for more than half an hour now. Things were certainly changing between them. His mother would be delighted.

“You don't mind?” His fathers' soft words made Jinki smile.

“Not at all.” There were things he did in the past that wounded him deeply and yet he was worried that he would be upset with something like that. Maybe Jinki wasn't the only one changing.

“Here.” Jinki handed a can of beer to Taemin who opened it and quickly drank from it.

They had dinner together as a family that night and while Hyejin tried to help Jinki’s mother and learn a little about what she did at the kids' orphanage, Jinki invited Taemin for a drink. They settled on the swing chair of the balcony on the second floor drinking beer.

“That's her window.” Taemin pointed out to the house not that far away from theirs. A soft light illuminated the room but they couldn't see much more “I climbed to that window so many times.”

Jinki gulped his beer and cleaned his mouth with the back of his hand “To her bedroom?”

Taemin nodded and Jinki grinned “Naughty.”

“Nothing ever happened, well...” he blushed “Not at least.”

Jinki stared at the night sky and both stood in silence. He couldn't blame his brother for only thinking about Seo Ah. He had found himself thinking about it several times a day too, Hyejin also. Time was passing by and it was getting closer to the wedding and yet they hadn't found a way to break the engagement.

“I love her.” Taemin confessed painfully.

“Tae…”

“I'm going to kill him. If he marries her, if he touches her I'll do it.”

Jinki closed his eyes knowing that he wouldn't be able to stop Taemin and that he probably would do the same if it was Hyejin.

“You understand, don't you? He will mistreat her, he will hurt her. To him, she is nothing more than a body to warm his bed, as someone to keep for appearances and to me she is...she is..." Taemin sighed heavenly "He is going to break her and I can't let that happen. I'd rather ruin my life than let anyone make her miserable.”

“I understand but it won't be necessary. I'll find a way.”

Taemin ran a hand through his hair and Jinki knew he had made his mind already.

“Hyejin had an idea. We only need to ruin his family reputation, find a way to make her parents break the engagement.”

“Jinki, his family is one of the most powerful ones in the clan. For years they have maintained a good reputation and you expect to change that in a couple of days?”

“If we don't find anything until the wedding then we fabricate it.”

“What?”

Jinki hated to lie, he hated that he would go to that length to help his brother but if he had to he would. “It's not like they are good. We both know - no, everyone knows how awful they are. If we don't find out anything to ruin them then we make it up, we fake evidence I don't care."

"You do care." Taemin frowned "You are not that person and if something goes wrong you will ruin your chances to become the chief."

Jinki swallowed hard knowing that Taemin was right "She isn't marrying him. I promise you.”

“She won't.” Taemin repeated his eyes set on her window again. The light turned off, bathing the room in darkness and Taemin's ominous words hung in the air between them.

 

Hello~~

 

Sorry for this 3 weeks? 2? Without new updates. Anyway they are over and for the next couple weeks there will be updates coming out. I'll also be off from work for a week soon (birthday week ^^) and I'll try to catch up with writing so hopefully there won't be a delay on updates for a while.

 

Also, It took me around 3 hours but I built a timeline for this fic, which means that it was planned until the very end. Some things will be added, cut, or changed but this will help me out on following a more cohesive storyline. There are still a lot of things happening so...I hope you stay until the end. ^^

 

I love to see your theories too. There are some interesting ones, some that actually guessed what is going to happen and others that aren't close but all of them are fun to read.

 

As always, thank you.
