Chapter 001 - First Day of School
St. 달꽃 (enrollment open!)chapter 001
first day of school
Dalyu sighed as she looked at her lessons that were given to her a few days before from Headmaster Kwon. She sighed as she was in the library just trying to remember what she was teaching and how to teach others. She had been ignoring most people if she wasn't training with students as she was still thinking about seeing Hwitaek again like that and him just leaving her there alone. She got up just making copies as she could see Yuxi at another table talking with some of the other wolf teachers as she grabbed her copies as she hurried back to her table just gathering up her stuff as she shut her laptop.
"Dalyu." Sunmi said as she looked at her "HEre are some of the books for your class." SHe handed her some text books. "They might be good to use as extra material. I was also thinking that you and Sanghyuk could speak to the dhampirs this year about promise marks. JIhoon wants to keep it out of the studies, but it is important to our culture and he doesn't seem to understand that." Sunmi said
"THank you for these. I will do that as it is important." Dalyu said as she took the books as she watched Sunmi walk off she slipped the books in her bag.
"Hey." Yuxi walked up "You ready for tomorrow? First day of school." HE said
"I think that I am." Dalyu said as she picked up her things just putting them away.
"You're leaving? I was going to ask you to come join us." Yuxi said
"That is nice of you, but my dad is coming by. I should probably go see him and see why he is coming all the way over here for." Dalyu said as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"OKay well you know how to find me if you need help." Yuxi said as she watched her leave. Yuxi walked back to the table as he sat down as Sota looked over to him.
"did you two fight or something?" Sota asked
"She is probably still messed up due to that whatever happened in the forest." Fei looked at them "Compuslion can be a deadly thing to the mind." She added
"Also being shadowkissed too, but you know not saying anything." Arron spoke
Yuxi glared over to the Moroi as Yuxi shook his head. "her father is in town that is all." He answered as he sat down just looking over his lesson plans.
"Her dad left this morning. I saw him on my run." Yunho took a book off a shelf as he had been working on some things himself. "Also it is not nice to accuse a dhampir of being shadowkissed." He added
"WEll the boy -" Arron started as he was stopped by Sunmi
"If Dalyu and Hwitaek are not on my list then they are not." Sunmi said
"We could have always missed a few from their time. you know this true." Arron said "THey have new addings to that list all the time. We do not know how many we lost when they left us." He crossed his arms
Yuxi simply pushed his chair in as he walked out of the room just letting the library doors shut behind him. He walked over to the teachers lodging just only seeing Soohyun around. "Has Dalyu come around?" He asked
"Just to dump her stuff then leave. I saw going towards the forest. You shoudl know it is her favorite place to run. Dont worry, it is too bright outside for the Council to be out." Soohyun said as she was carrying a few shopping bags.
"Thanks." Yuxi started back down the stairs as he jogged out into the forest just entering the forest as he jogged lightly just seeing Dalyu sitting under a tree just having her eyes closed with a sliver stake in her hand. "who are you planning on killing with that?" He asked as her eyes opened.
"I am waiting." Dalyu eyed him
"For who?" Yuxi asked "No one is going to come. It is too bright out today. It is about eighty today. No one will risk coming out when it is this hot. Not even the students left today. The mail people must hate us with all the online orders sent here form court and whereever for school supplies and packages sent from home." yuxi pulled her to her feet.
"You never know." Dalyu said
"Have you been doing this everyday?" He asked as he heard footsteps off in the distance. A deep navy umbrella approached as another tall male stepped forward. Yuxi stepped infront of Dalyu.
"Do not worry, mut. I won't cross the border." The voice said as the figured looekd up as Hwitaek lowered his umbrella. "I am only here to give Dalyu something. I bought it and wanted to give it to her." He added
"Who are you? And, why shouldn't I eat you alive." Yuxi growled under his breath
"Do not make me use magic on you." Hwitaek answered as he took out a small black box. "We have always given each other thinsg on the first day of school." Hwitaek watched Dalyu step forward as Yuxi grabbed her arm as she tossed a box. Hwitaek caught it as he slipped it in his pocket. "Do not worry about anyone following me or what not. The whole council is out until late tonight. Our own school is opening tomorrow as well." He shook his head.
"You're what happned in russia will stay in russia." Yuxi said
"He doesn't know everything." Dalyu piped up
"I know enough." Yuxi snapped "He should be staked along with the rest of them." He looked at Dalyu
"That is not wise, flea bag. you wolves really do not know our people that well." Hwitaek said as he stepped over a fallen tree branch just picking up the box. He walked up infront of them as he handed it to Dalyu just placing his hand on hers as the rings of his eyes and her's went gold then faded as Hwitaek shut his eyes as there was a loud crack.
"YU, I am sorry." Yuxi pulled his fist back as he watched hwitaek sigh.
"Hold this with your good hand." Hwitaek placed his sun umbrella over them as he took Dalyu hand just popping it back into place as he healed her wrist and hand. he took back his umbrella as he sided eyed Yuxi.
"Yuxi, it is fine." Dalyu said as she looked at him. She turned back to Hwitaek. "You should head back before anyone sees you. And could you-" She nodded towards Yuxi
"Hell no! he is not doing that on me. He tries I'll break his neck." Yuxi growled
"Hush, be a good boy. You're loud." Hwitaek said "Besides I am tapped out from healing my yu. Do not call her that. I hope you like that. I'll only ring for you at the dire time." hwitaek leaned over just kissing Dalyu's cheek as he had said this to her telepathically. He turned around just heading back. He disappeared along the trees.
dalyu ignored Yuxi as she started out of the forest. She was pulled back as he turned her around. "We need to talk about this. I have kept quiet about the eye thing, but you both did it." Yuxi looked at her
"yes, i'm shadowkissed. You already knew that." Dalyu said
"Yeah, it is two different things to know then to see it. Plus meet the traitor who you are conntected to." Yuxi crossed his arms. "Is he the one that messed with Yejin? You know she still can't remeber." He said
"Taek's compuslion is something on it's own. He probably used his enhanced verison. it is like mind control with memory loss. She'll be fine." Dalyu said "And trust me he doesn't like it over there." She added
"You know what will happen if anyone finds this out." Yuxi glared at her
"Why do you think I ran off?" Dalyu asked "Both sides would want me dead or i think." she said
"I'll keep you safe. come on, We need to go prepare ourclass rooms. School starts tonight." Yuxi said as he looked at her opening the small black box as there was a rose gold cross necklace. He watched her pull it out just snapping it on as she tucked it under her shirt. "God, moroi and their money." Yuxi shook his head
•••
Hwitaek entered the council building as he set his umbrella in his slot just picking up packages he had left in the hall. He looked behind him as Wesley was coming down the hall from the back. Hwitaek ignored him as he carried mail and packages just putting them in thier correct mail slots.
"Did you go out?" Wesley asked
"To get the mail. I am the only one up. These big packages are for the school." Hwitaek finished with the personal mail.
"I just got here from work. Was there a package for Dana? SHe ordered some books. I hoping her being forced to teach or lose her blood supply will make her make some friends." He sighed
"What a good friend you are." Hwitaek said to him
Wesley glared at him as he crossed his arms. "I am trying. She wasn't willing to be in this life and I am just trying to make her life comfortable." HE said
"Do you really think any of us really want to be here?" Hwitaek asked
"Do say that so in the open." Wesley spoke "You never know who is listening." HE said
"They can't kill me. the council has a absolute law that spirit moroi can not be killed, turned, or harmed or it will be death to you. I hope you remeber that." Hwitaek blinked at him
"i know the laws, Hwitaek. I helped write them." Wesley bounced back
"Correction. Your family did." Hwitaek corrected him as he set down some boxes. "Move these yourself then." Hwitaek said
"Are you fighting this early in the moring?" Jaejoong walked up
"Hyung, I brought in all the mail out in the sun. By myself. Can I go lay down?" Hwitaek blinked at jaejoong
"Yes, Taek. Go on, it is very hot outside today. Why didn't someone help you? Hurry up, I will get a feeder schedule for you then I'll come wake you up." Jaejoong watched Hwitaek disappear up stairs.
"That kid pushes you around." Wesley looked at the other
"He's above us. all spirit users are. they are important. If we lose them then we are nothing." Jaejoong answered
"He is brat that what he is." Wesley answered "You have been around for a long around here, do you know a girl named DAlyu?" Wesley asked
"I know of her. She is a dhampir, though our records show she killed but that academy always fakes their very best fighters so we won't kill them ourselves." Jaejoong said
"Hwitaek said the same thing." Wesley said
"Who are you two gossiping about now?" Mingxi walked up
"He was asking about a dhampir." Jaejoong said
"Oh. Whoa, who brought the mail in already?" She looked over the boxes.
"Hwitaek. I sent him to rest." Jaejoong looked at her
"At least he is finally helping than just moping around." Joon was reading a file. "Tonight is the first day of school, you know." Joon said
"No." Mingxi snapped "We aren't ready. Kentaro hasn't mastered dream walking that long of a distance yet. Plus we haven't even figured out Hwitaek's specializtion besides healing. Plus he has the most defiance in healing anyone, but granted we can't force them." Mingxi looked them
"the rule is stupid." joon crossed his arms "that kids needs some sense knocked into him." he nodded
"I told that to Jaejoong." Wesley was looking at the feeders list. "We need to recruit more feeders. We already lost a few last night." He added
"Yes, yes. I have Mirua and Erika on it." Mingxi sat down "The rule is placed so that thieir power is protected. WE will not be able to kill them if they spirit power." She glared at Joon "Do not make me report you, joon." She rubbed her forehead.
"then how are we going to get Hwitaek to get on board?" Kentaro came the down the stairs "Hyojin said his complusion is better than any of us." He pushed Joon off the arm of the couch as he sat down.
"If you all look at this from a business perspective, bribe him. find out what he wants more than anything then make a deal." Wesley said from the bar just looking over everything.
"you know, you're smarter than what you come across." Mingxi looked at him.
"Do not expect it all the time. I am only here to please my mother and father." wesley bluntly stated "You should start at that dhampir girl and check his family's story if she is still alive." Wesley handed Jaejoong the clipboard.
"You're good at this scheduling thing." Jaejoong said
"I work for a mutli-million company. you all are like a mom and pop shop." Wesley grabbed his jacket just slinging it over his shoulder as he made his way out the door just grabbed his sun umbrella.
"i have a friend in China that I can call to check for us." Mingxi stood up "wait a couple hours then go wake up Hwitaek for his feeding. you better be right about this boy, Kentaro." Mingxi said
"You know I am. why would i lie to you?" Kentaro watched her leave
"You do all the time." joon answered as he turned to Jaejoong. "if she is still alive, then they will not give her up. her family is pretty powerful in the dhampir world. i mean her mother was in line for throne until she turned. they won't to lose that genetic line." joon looked at him
"I know, Joon. She is your boss and the head of elder council." jaejoong looked at him. "why don't you go ask her if she knows if her daughter is still alive? I will work on school items." HE took the file from him.
"That woman annoys me." joon walked off. He pushed a door open just heading underground. He walked through the halls as he walked to a office door. "hyosung-sshi?" Joon asked
"Yes?" A soft melodic like voice opened the door. She was a bit short just coming to Joon's torso as she let him in.
"I am sorry to bother you." Joon entered as he watched her walk back to her desk. "I need to ask you a personal questoin. I apologize in advance for what I have to ask." Joon said
"Joon. You're not bothering me. Ask." Hyosung red eyes narrowed
"It is about your daughter. we need to know if she is still alive?" Joon said
"Is this about Hwitaek?" Hyosung leaned back in her chair
"Partly." Joon shifted in his seat
Hyosung's breath came out as a white fog as she tapped her heal on the stone floor. "HIs family and mine are royal as you know. His family still holds power in the court as not all of his family defected. my husband promisesd our dhampir line to protect their family. My daughter, Dalyu, and Hwitaek are childhood friends. There was an incident in Russia on a family vacation where the children were stuck on a kiddnaped train. Dalyu took a bullet to the heart for that boy and she came out with no injuries. this is how we figured out hwitaek was a spirit user. I realized the fate my husband had left our daughter in to be shadowkissed. you must know what hwitaek is going through be so far from her. he would gone feral if she was dead, Joon. Morois up there would be dead if he went crazy. you should know this very well." Hyosung smirked to him
"Do not bring up my past." Joon growled "all you had to say was yes." HE glared at her while gripping the wooden chair.
"But i like stories." Hyosung tapped her nails on her metal desk. "no one knows of their bond at the school expect sunmi. she overseas their spirit program and shadowkissed people in court. I threatened her to keep it quiet or i'd send you after her family. you've already done enough damage that she agreed." hyosung sighed as she opened a drawer from her desk as she pulled out a baby book. "This is Dalyu's baby book. it is the only thing i took to remeber her by. she is an amazing fighter, you all could learn a thing or two from her. she can teach moroi how to actually fight than rely on magic. jihoon and boah are having their moroi start combat classes. none of the moroi here know any of that. do not lost this or i will burn you alive." Hyosung opened the pages of the book as she took a photo from Dalyu's graduation. "She's killed a few of us already so do not underestaimate her." Hyosung handed him the photo
"Thank you." Joon bowed as he stood up he took the photo as dalyu was a spitting image of Hyosung just younger. joon walked out as he looked at the picture as he walked back upstairs just looking at Jaejoong. "Hyosung said this is her. She is at the school." HE said as Jaejoong looked up
"Yeah, Mingxi's contact said that she is teaching now. If we sneak out to the woods and watch their combat class then Mingxi said that we can watch them from afar." Jaejoong said
"They will see us." Joon said
"No, not if I get help." Kentaro said "I have a friend that is a spirit user. She'll be here in a few hours." He said as he looked at them. "She can make us invisible but just us four." He said
"Great then it is a plan." mingxi looked over to them as she looked as Jina brought in a feeder. "Go wake up Hwitaek. Put him in the feeding stall four." Mingxi said as Suihe came up from Joon had
"I heard from Hyosung. About what you all are doing." Suihe said as Hwitaek came down the stairs. "Do you really he is going to help just because you bring her?" Suihe asked
"I hope so." Mingxi asnwered as she watched Hwitaek enter the feeding stall.
Hwitark entered the feeding stall as he shook his head. His fangs englongated just sinking into the skin of the wrists just drinking until he was done just wiping his face with some tissues just walking out of the feeding stall. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" HE asked
"No reason. Go on up to your room." Mingxi said
"You should try harder." Hwitaek said as he walked upstairs. "I'm only doing what you say because I do want to deal with any of you." He added
"that brat." Suihe rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"Guys, I brought my friend. This is Mina." Kentaro said as he walked up with a younger girl.
"Hi. Kentaro said you guys needed some help, plus I was coming here anyway in a couple weeks with my parents." Mina said as looked at them.
"Yeah, we have to watch some people. I'll show you to your room and come get you later." Kentaro said as he guided Mina upstairs.
•••
The bell rung as Yejin slid into the library just spotting a free seat behind Jiyong as today was their first class as third years so their first period was shadow kiss lecture and Moroi history with Sunmi. She was threatened this year that she would gradurate if she didn't attend classes on time and would not be put in advanced combat class like everyone else either. She slid into a seat as Sunmi was turning on the projection. "It is good that you could join us, MIss Shin." Sunmi said
"Well you know me always love to come to class." Yejin said as she looked at her
"That is good, keep it up." Sunmi said as she typed on her computer. "So Today we are going to talk about the shadowkissed bond. As you know there are different laws in different countries for this bond. The laws here are that schools must keep a list of their shadowkissed students and thier moroi partner unless they are special reasons not to." Sunmi started as she looked at them "Does any one know what happens in a shadowkissed bond?" She asked as Yewon raised his hand "Go ahead." She said
"IT happens when a spirit users brings back a dead person to life." Yewon said as he nodded "Arron-ge says it usually happens when you are close with that person." He added
"That is correct." Sunmi said as she looked at him "The details of each situation is different but the outcomes are the same. Spirit users that form this bond can understand eachother's thoughts, can heal others, and the non-spirit user can be transported into their vision then see what they are seeing and what they are feeling as well." Sunmi said as she looked at them "The shaodwkissed person usually has golden colored eyes when they are in the mind of their partner." She added as she passed out note books. "These have information about past Shadowkissed individuals and notes about the bond. Please read pages one through twenty for next class and take notes." Sunmi said as she looked at the clock.
"Sunmi-sam, spirit users have special powers right?" Yejin asked as she looked at her
"Yes. Many of them have powers conntected outside of the elements." Sunmi said as she looked at her
"I see." Yejin said as she tapped her pencil on her notebook
"Do the Yingsu council have to register their's as well?" Suhyo asked as she leaned on her elbow
"Yes once their school is established, but granted they do not work in the court so they might not." Sunmi answered as she switched slides to moroi history. "Alright so lets move on to history." Sunmi said as she moved to start talking about the history.
•••
Dalyu was pushing a sandbag across the feild as she looked at Soohyun blowing a whistle everytime that they kids made a lap. They were in conditioning class right now as Joongi was running the wolves. She watched as Yuxi came out of the shifting cabin in his wolf form with Goongmin being their translator as he walked next to him. Dalyu just kept pushing the sandbag as she got the stations in place for the rest of Soohyun's conditioning class. "Soohyun is drilling them hard for being lazy during the summer." Dalyu said
"Granted they are teenagers." Joohyun said as she brought over a few boxes of breaking boards.
"They still need to keep in shape." Goongmin said "Some of them still think the threat is gone with letting those people make their council." goongmin said
"They know. They just are deciding to be kids once in awhile." Dalyu answered as she took a box from Joohyun.
"Yuxi wants to know how seeing your first day is going." Goongmin said
"It is going fine." Dalyu answered as she looked at them. "I need to go find the training staffs." Dalyu walked off just sticking her hands in her pockets.
"Is she okay?" Goongmin looked at Joohyun
"Yeah, she's fine. Sanghuk had been werid today too. Memories of school weren't so great for them. Friends leaving, broken promises." Joohyun said
"Yeah well it wasn't easy for us either. I mean it made more jobs for our kind, but your world is still hard to adjust to." Goongmin said as he turned to watch the kids running.
Joongi looked back at the group as he barked. "Faster, you punks! You'll never out run Strigoi and pounce them like this!" He barked at them as he picked up the pace.
Jiyong pounded past Luna just catching up with the twins just running next to Yewon. He heard Joongi add on that this was their last lap then they were going to run drills. He looked as Yewon was getting closer as he felt someone tumble into him as he howled. "Hey!" He barked
Yewon tumbled into him just causing them roll in the grass as the pack stopped. "Sorry! Yejin tripped me!" Yewon rolled off Jiyong just helping get up by pushing his side up. He glared over to his sister as she sat up on her hind legs just shaking her fur. He back to Jiyong just seeing him stomp back over to the group. Yewon sighed as he made his way over to his sister. "Why did you do that?" HE poke her side
"You kept hitting me with your tail." Yejin side eyed him.
"Mature." Was yewon's response as he turned to Joongi.
"Today you will be working with Yuxi on dashing drills and jumpping." Joongi looked at him as he nodded them off.
Dalyu looked at the group in front of her as she spun her wooden staff in her hand. This year they had combined moroi dhampir classes to teach Moroi hand to hand combat, but keep them separate from Dhampirs. "So you kids can not pass this line." She looked at her Moroi few under the tented area.
"Why not?" Jihyun asked
"Because I'll crack your ribs." Jisoo leaned on his stick
"I make the rules that is why. Today we will be going through some drills with these. They will give you balance and teach you begining skills with using sliver stakes. These are more easy to weild for beginners. It is easier to start larger then learn the smaller movements. Also today we will be doing some drills with the wolves on partnering. Most of you during your test with Sanghyuk and I did not use your wolves aglity nor bodies to your advantage." Dalyu said
"After these drills, the moroi students will go to your directed magic classes." Sanghyuk added "Follow us." He told them as Dalyu started with simple movements.
•••
It was getting late as Kentaro lead the group with Mina in the middle as they were walking to the edge of the woods just hidden. Kentaro could see the lights of the school light up as the whole field was full of students working on skills. "Here should be good." He said
Mingxi watched as she watched the teachers working the students as she spotted a famillar wolf letting a more peitte dhampir jump off his back as student wolves and dhampir students were following their lead. "She is the one with Yuxi." Mingxi narrowed her eyes
"She looks just like her mother. Look at her neck." Joon said
"Yes, those stupid marks. She has killed some of you." Jaejoong said "They are good teachers. They even have Moroi students learning martial arts." Jaejoong pointed out Joohyun and Soohyun correcting forms of students not with their specialization teachers.
"That sorry wolf got her to teach for him. What a pity for her family." Mingxi watched Fei. "Are you surprised that they got Hyosung to teach your old class?" She looked at Jaejoong
"No. She is good. She was always second behind me in school." jaejoong said He watched Suhyo and Jihyun as Hyosung was throwing hay tied into balls at them. He only nodded as he turned to Mingxi "Can you see a way to get Dalyu easily?" He asked
"Not from just watching five minutes, idiot. Though I can tell you she's close to Yuxi.I could lie to Hwitaek about an imprint." MIngxi said
Kentaro watched Hyoyeon as she raised up her arm from a stray hay ball as it froze in mind air. "That one is spirit user. she is not with the other elemental users. She can proably stop time for a time." He watched the hay ball keep flying as Hyoyeon moved out of the way.
Joon nodded as he watched the group watch them. He watched the wolves go into tall cabins just coming out as their human forms as he watched the one pointed out as Yuxi walk over to Dalyu just sitting next to her as it seemed it was break time as kids were spraying each other with water or chugging it down. He had been learning to read lips as he watched Yuxi and Dalyu talk. It was hard as they were far away he shook his head as he couldn't tell what they were saying.
"Can you tell what they are talking about?" Jaejoong looked at Joon
"No, they are too far away." He said
"We should go soon. Mina can only hold this for another thirty minutes." Kentaro said
"With more training I can do it for longer, I have been practicing." Mina said
"It is fine, dear. You're doing your best." Jaejoong said as he glanced at her "Lets go, we have seen enough for today." He said as the group started to leave.
•••
"Gah, we should have ran a little this summer!" Jiyong poured his water bottle over his head as he looked at Renjun. "Joongi didn't go easy on us today nor did Dalyu or Yuxi." He laid back on the grass.
"At least class is over for the day." Renjun said as he drank his water. He crossed his legs as he watched more of the group sit down "We only have lunch now since they changed their schedule to be all our classes then training." He said
"Yeah I guess you are right." Jiyong said
"Did you guys heard about the feeders Yunho and Yuxi found early this morning wandering around." JIhyun looked at the group "Jisoo saw them." He added
"I saw Yunho and Yuxi helping the medical team transport them to the infirmary." Jisoo looked at the group
"Oh yeah, the hyungs in the pack were saying they were from the Yingsu council." Yewon said with a nod.
"Is that how all of you treat your food?" Yejin crossed her arms as Yewon smacked her arm.
"No, of course not. Idiot." Suhyo glared at her from the outside of the group. "They probably escaped. It is a job when you have both Moroi and Strigoi eatting on you." She said
"Yes, strigoi have stronger jaws than us." Namjoon piped up. "They get more damaging scars from them than from us." He added
"Have any of you actually seen one?" Jiyong asked as Luna stood up just walking away. "Oh . Sorry!" aS he was smacked by mutliple pack members.
"Why are you saying sorry for?" Suhyo asked
"It is her business to tell you if she wants." Jiyeon glared at Jiyong.
"I said I was sorry, god damn." The boy said as he was hit again by Seokwoo. "Next time one of you hit me then I'll break a hand!" Jiyong snapped
"Chill out, you are worse than Yejin." Yewon shook his head. "We aren't really allowed to bring up strigoi around Luna since she has trauma from it. Yuxi says we do not bring up past trauma that can hurt pack family members." He explained to them "She has to bring it up herself." He added
"Stop talking." Jiyeon snapped "That was pack only information." She said
"Whatever, we learn about their culture." Hyungwon looked at the eldest. "did any of you smell something werid today coming from the forest?" He asked
"Oh yeah, I smelled the stench of death. Maybe something died like a deer?" Jimin looked at them from Namjoon's side.
"Maybe." Yejin answered. "But it didn't smell like a regualr dead animal." She said as she leaned on her knees.
"Maybe it is just really dead." Renjun said as he nodded. "Anyway, you guys were cool jumpping over their magic." He added
"Yeah, it is werid. It was the first time doing something like this." Jibeom said "We usually just make cool palor tricks." He said
"Until someone tripped." Suhyo looked at Jihyun.
"I was tripping because I got hit by a tail!" Jihyun glared at her
"My bad, I came in too hot." Seokwoo laughed as he was smacked by Yejin.
"Lame." She looked at him as she turned to Suhyo. "You know you'd be better if you didn't hesistate to really jump on our back when you doing drills." She said
"Thanks, I suppose. I not use to wolves. I have never really liked them or they have never liked me - so this was new." Suhyo said "Plus we do not get this type of training like Jibeom said. I'll get better wtih practice." She added
"Kids, food will be served soon. You ones that need feeders should hurry to sign up." Dalyu walked over with Yuxi. "then you all have your language class to end the day." She waved them along. She watched one by one them walking off with friends or in small groups. Dalyu turned to Yuxi when they were out of ear shot. "They could smell them too." She said
"Yeah, I had Joongi report it. We can't do anything if we can't see them or find them." Yuxi said as he walked with her. "They were probably scouting the kids training. We will put down sliver stakes and wire down in the morning." He said
"Sounds like a good plan." Dalyu said
Yuxi nodded as he looked at Dalyu. "I am really sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said as he stopped as she turned to look at him.
"I am fine. Nothing happened, Yuxi." Dalyu said
"But i Know something did." He crossed his arms.
"Yuxi-ge! You want to come eat with us?" Yewon jogged up.
"Sure, I'll be there in a second." Yuxi said as he looked at Dalyu already walked off and inside. He sighed as he followed Yewon. "You know if you want to stop being 'tripped' by your sister then don't run by her. You were doing pretty well running by Jiyong." Yuxi teased Yewon as he glared at him
"Haha, you are so very funny." Yewon rolled his eyes. They entered the cafeteria together as they stood in line just getting their food as they sat down at the table with Yejin, Hyungwon, and Seokwoo as they started to eat.
Author's Note
hey guys! Here is the first chapter! I just wanted to layout a foundation for the story to stem off of.
Remeber that just because official chapters are being done that doesn't mean the apply is closed so the apply is still open for anyone still wanting to apply. I hope you guys liked this chapter. I still working on figuring out how I want to structure writing about classes and what not.
"Dalyu." Sunmi said as she looked at her "HEre are some of the books for your class." SHe handed her some text books. "They might be good to use as extra material. I was also thinking that you and Sanghyuk could speak to the dhampirs this year about promise marks. JIhoon wants to keep it out of the studies, but it is important to our culture and he doesn't seem to understand that." Sunmi said
"THank you for these. I will do that as it is important." Dalyu said as she took the books as she watched Sunmi walk off she slipped the books in her bag.
"Hey." Yuxi walked up "You ready for tomorrow? First day of school." HE said
"I think that I am." Dalyu said as she picked up her things just putting them away.
"You're leaving? I was going to ask you to come join us." Yuxi said
"That is nice of you, but my dad is coming by. I should probably go see him and see why he is coming all the way over here for." Dalyu said as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"OKay well you know how to find me if you need help." Yuxi said as she watched her leave. Yuxi walked back to the table as he sat down as Sota looked over to him.
"did you two fight or something?" Sota asked
"She is probably still messed up due to that whatever happened in the forest." Fei looked at them "Compuslion can be a deadly thing to the mind." She added
"Also being shadowkissed too, but you know not saying anything." Arron spoke
Yuxi glared over to the Moroi as Yuxi shook his head. "her father is in town that is all." He answered as he sat down just looking over his lesson plans.
"Her dad left this morning. I saw him on my run." Yunho took a book off a shelf as he had been working on some things himself. "Also it is not nice to accuse a dhampir of being shadowkissed." He added
"WEll the boy -" Arron started as he was stopped by Sunmi
"If Dalyu and Hwitaek are not on my list then they are not." Sunmi said
"We could have always missed a few from their time. you know this true." Arron said "THey have new addings to that list all the time. We do not know how many we lost when they left us." He crossed his arms
Yuxi simply pushed his chair in as he walked out of the room just letting the library doors shut behind him. He walked over to the teachers lodging just only seeing Soohyun around. "Has Dalyu come around?" He asked
"Just to dump her stuff then leave. I saw going towards the forest. You shoudl know it is her favorite place to run. Dont worry, it is too bright outside for the Council to be out." Soohyun said as she was carrying a few shopping bags.
"Thanks." Yuxi started back down the stairs as he jogged out into the forest just entering the forest as he jogged lightly just seeing Dalyu sitting under a tree just having her eyes closed with a sliver stake in her hand. "who are you planning on killing with that?" He asked as her eyes opened.
"I am waiting." Dalyu eyed him
"For who?" Yuxi asked "No one is going to come. It is too bright out today. It is about eighty today. No one will risk coming out when it is this hot. Not even the students left today. The mail people must hate us with all the online orders sent here form court and whereever for school supplies and packages sent from home." yuxi pulled her to her feet.
"You never know." Dalyu said
"Have you been doing this everyday?" He asked as he heard footsteps off in the distance. A deep navy umbrella approached as another tall male stepped forward. Yuxi stepped infront of Dalyu.
"Do not worry, mut. I won't cross the border." The voice said as the figured looekd up as Hwitaek lowered his umbrella. "I am only here to give Dalyu something. I bought it and wanted to give it to her." He added
"Who are you? And, why shouldn't I eat you alive." Yuxi growled under his breath
"Do not make me use magic on you." Hwitaek answered as he took out a small black box. "We have always given each other thinsg on the first day of school." Hwitaek watched Dalyu step forward as Yuxi grabbed her arm as she tossed a box. Hwitaek caught it as he slipped it in his pocket. "Do not worry about anyone following me or what not. The whole council is out until late tonight. Our own school is opening tomorrow as well." He shook his head.
"You're what happned in russia will stay in russia." Yuxi said
"He doesn't know everything." Dalyu piped up
"I know enough." Yuxi snapped "He should be staked along with the rest of them." He looked at Dalyu
"That is not wise, flea bag. you wolves really do not know our people that well." Hwitaek said as he stepped over a fallen tree branch just picking up the box. He walked up infront of them as he handed it to Dalyu just placing his hand on hers as the rings of his eyes and her's went gold then faded as Hwitaek shut his eyes as there was a loud crack.
"YU, I am sorry." Yuxi pulled his fist back as he watched hwitaek sigh.
"Hold this with your good hand." Hwitaek placed his sun umbrella over them as he took Dalyu hand just popping it back into place as he healed her wrist and hand. he took back his umbrella as he sided eyed Yuxi.
"Yuxi, it is fine." Dalyu said as she looked at him. She turned back to Hwitaek. "You should head back before anyone sees you. And could you-" She nodded towards Yuxi
"Hell no! he is not doing that on me. He tries I'll break his neck." Yuxi growled
"Hush, be a good boy. You're loud." Hwitaek said "Besides I am tapped out from healing my yu. Do not call her that. I hope you like that. I'll only ring for you at the dire time." hwitaek leaned over just kissing Dalyu's cheek as he had said this to her telepathically. He turned around just heading back. He disappeared along the trees.
dalyu ignored Yuxi as she started out of the forest. She was pulled back as he turned her around. "We need to talk about this. I have kept quiet about the eye thing, but you both did it." Yuxi looked at her
"yes, i'm shadowkissed. You already knew that." Dalyu said
"Yeah, it is two different things to know then to see it. Plus meet the traitor who you are conntected to." Yuxi crossed his arms. "Is he the one that messed with Yejin? You know she still can't remeber." He said
"Taek's compuslion is something on it's own. He probably used his enhanced verison. it is like mind control with memory loss. She'll be fine." Dalyu said "And trust me he doesn't like it over there." She added
"You know what will happen if anyone finds this out." Yuxi glared at her
"Why do you think I ran off?" Dalyu asked "Both sides would want me dead or i think." she said
"I'll keep you safe. come on, We need to go prepare ourclass rooms. School starts tonight." Yuxi said as he looked at her opening the small black box as there was a rose gold cross necklace. He watched her pull it out just snapping it on as she tucked it under her shirt. "God, moroi and their money." Yuxi shook his head
•••
Hwitaek entered the council building as he set his umbrella in his slot just picking up packages he had left in the hall. He looked behind him as Wesley was coming down the hall from the back. Hwitaek ignored him as he carried mail and packages just putting them in thier correct mail slots.
"Did you go out?" Wesley asked
"To get the mail. I am the only one up. These big packages are for the school." Hwitaek finished with the personal mail.
"I just got here from work. Was there a package for Dana? SHe ordered some books. I hoping her being forced to teach or lose her blood supply will make her make some friends." He sighed
"What a good friend you are." Hwitaek said to him
Wesley glared at him as he crossed his arms. "I am trying. She wasn't willing to be in this life and I am just trying to make her life comfortable." HE said
"Do you really think any of us really want to be here?" Hwitaek asked
"Do say that so in the open." Wesley spoke "You never know who is listening." HE said
"They can't kill me. the council has a absolute law that spirit moroi can not be killed, turned, or harmed or it will be death to you. I hope you remeber that." Hwitaek blinked at him
"i know the laws, Hwitaek. I helped write them." Wesley bounced back
"Correction. Your family did." Hwitaek corrected him as he set down some boxes. "Move these yourself then." Hwitaek said
"Are you fighting this early in the moring?" Jaejoong walked up
"Hyung, I brought in all the mail out in the sun. By myself. Can I go lay down?" Hwitaek blinked at jaejoong
"Yes, Taek. Go on, it is very hot outside today. Why didn't someone help you? Hurry up, I will get a feeder schedule for you then I'll come wake you up." Jaejoong watched Hwitaek disappear up stairs.
"That kid pushes you around." Wesley looked at the other
"He's above us. all spirit users are. they are important. If we lose them then we are nothing." Jaejoong answered
"He is brat that what he is." Wesley answered "You have been around for a long around here, do you know a girl named DAlyu?" Wesley asked
"I know of her. She is a dhampir, though our records show she killed but that academy always fakes their very best fighters so we won't kill them ourselves." Jaejoong said
"Hwitaek said the same thing." Wesley said
"Who are you two gossiping about now?" Mingxi walked up
"He was asking about a dhampir." Jaejoong said
"Oh. Whoa, who brought the mail in already?" She looked over the boxes.
"Hwitaek. I sent him to rest." Jaejoong looked at her
"At least he is finally helping than just moping around." Joon was reading a file. "Tonight is the first day of school, you know." Joon said
"No." Mingxi snapped "We aren't ready. Kentaro hasn't mastered dream walking that long of a distance yet. Plus we haven't even figured out Hwitaek's specializtion besides healing. Plus he has the most defiance in healing anyone, but granted we can't force them." Mingxi looked them
"the rule is stupid." joon crossed his arms "that kids needs some sense knocked into him." he nodded
"I told that to Jaejoong." Wesley was looking at the feeders list. "We need to recruit more feeders. We already lost a few last night." He added
"Yes, yes. I have Mirua and Erika on it." Mingxi sat down "The rule is placed so that thieir power is protected. WE will not be able to kill them if they spirit power." She glared at Joon "Do not make me report you, joon." She rubbed her forehead.
"then how are we going to get Hwitaek to get on board?" Kentaro came the down the stairs "Hyojin said his complusion is better than any of us." He pushed Joon off the arm of the couch as he sat down.
"If you all look at this from a business perspective, bribe him. find out what he wants more than anything then make a deal." Wesley said from the bar just looking over everything.
"you know, you're smarter than what you come across." Mingxi looked at him.
"Do not expect it all the time. I am only here to please my mother and father." wesley bluntly stated "You should start at that dhampir girl and check his family's story if she is still alive." Wesley handed Jaejoong the clipboard.
"You're good at this scheduling thing." Jaejoong said
"I work for a mutli-million company. you all are like a mom and pop shop." Wesley grabbed his jacket just slinging it over his shoulder as he made his way out the door just grabbed his sun umbrella.
"i have a friend in China that I can call to check for us." Mingxi stood up "wait a couple hours then go wake up Hwitaek for his feeding. you better be right about this boy, Kentaro." Mingxi said
"You know I am. why would i lie to you?" Kentaro watched her leave
"You do all the time." joon answered as he turned to Jaejoong. "if she is still alive, then they will not give her up. her family is pretty powerful in the dhampir world. i mean her mother was in line for throne until she turned. they won't to lose that genetic line." joon looked at him
"I know, Joon. She is your boss and the head of elder council." jaejoong looked at him. "why don't you go ask her if she knows if her daughter is still alive? I will work on school items." HE took the file from him.
"That woman annoys me." joon walked off. He pushed a door open just heading underground. He walked through the halls as he walked to a office door. "hyosung-sshi?" Joon asked
"Yes?" A soft melodic like voice opened the door. She was a bit short just coming to Joon's torso as she let him in.
"I am sorry to bother you." Joon entered as he watched her walk back to her desk. "I need to ask you a personal questoin. I apologize in advance for what I have to ask." Joon said
"Joon. You're not bothering me. Ask." Hyosung red eyes narrowed
"It is about your daughter. we need to know if she is still alive?" Joon said
"Is this about Hwitaek?" Hyosung leaned back in her chair
"Partly." Joon shifted in his seat
Hyosung's breath came out as a white fog as she tapped her heal on the stone floor. "HIs family and mine are royal as you know. His family still holds power in the court as not all of his family defected. my husband promisesd our dhampir line to protect their family. My daughter, Dalyu, and Hwitaek are childhood friends. There was an incident in Russia on a family vacation where the children were stuck on a kiddnaped train. Dalyu took a bullet to the heart for that boy and she came out with no injuries. this is how we figured out hwitaek was a spirit user. I realized the fate my husband had left our daughter in to be shadowkissed. you must know what hwitaek is going through be so far from her. he would gone feral if she was dead, Joon. Morois up there would be dead if he went crazy. you should know this very well." Hyosung smirked to him
"Do not bring up my past." Joon growled "all you had to say was yes." HE glared at her while gripping the wooden chair.
"But i like stories." Hyosung tapped her nails on her metal desk. "no one knows of their bond at the school expect sunmi. she overseas their spirit program and shadowkissed people in court. I threatened her to keep it quiet or i'd send you after her family. you've already done enough damage that she agreed." hyosung sighed as she opened a drawer from her desk as she pulled out a baby book. "This is Dalyu's baby book. it is the only thing i took to remeber her by. she is an amazing fighter, you all could learn a thing or two from her. she can teach moroi how to actually fight than rely on magic. jihoon and boah are having their moroi start combat classes. none of the moroi here know any of that. do not lost this or i will burn you alive." Hyosung opened the pages of the book as she took a photo from Dalyu's graduation. "She's killed a few of us already so do not underestaimate her." Hyosung handed him the photo
"Thank you." Joon bowed as he stood up he took the photo as dalyu was a spitting image of Hyosung just younger. joon walked out as he looked at the picture as he walked back upstairs just looking at Jaejoong. "Hyosung said this is her. She is at the school." HE said as Jaejoong looked up
"Yeah, Mingxi's contact said that she is teaching now. If we sneak out to the woods and watch their combat class then Mingxi said that we can watch them from afar." Jaejoong said
"They will see us." Joon said
"No, not if I get help." Kentaro said "I have a friend that is a spirit user. She'll be here in a few hours." He said as he looked at them. "She can make us invisible but just us four." He said
"Great then it is a plan." mingxi looked over to them as she looked as Jina brought in a feeder. "Go wake up Hwitaek. Put him in the feeding stall four." Mingxi said as Suihe came up from Joon had
"I heard from Hyosung. About what you all are doing." Suihe said as Hwitaek came down the stairs. "Do you really he is going to help just because you bring her?" Suihe asked
"I hope so." Mingxi asnwered as she watched Hwitaek enter the feeding stall.
Hwitark entered the feeding stall as he shook his head. His fangs englongated just sinking into the skin of the wrists just drinking until he was done just wiping his face with some tissues just walking out of the feeding stall. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" HE asked
"No reason. Go on up to your room." Mingxi said
"You should try harder." Hwitaek said as he walked upstairs. "I'm only doing what you say because I do want to deal with any of you." He added
"that brat." Suihe rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"Guys, I brought my friend. This is Mina." Kentaro said as he walked up with a younger girl.
"Hi. Kentaro said you guys needed some help, plus I was coming here anyway in a couple weeks with my parents." Mina said as looked at them.
"Yeah, we have to watch some people. I'll show you to your room and come get you later." Kentaro said as he guided Mina upstairs.
•••
The bell rung as Yejin slid into the library just spotting a free seat behind Jiyong as today was their first class as third years so their first period was shadow kiss lecture and Moroi history with Sunmi. She was threatened this year that she would gradurate if she didn't attend classes on time and would not be put in advanced combat class like everyone else either. She slid into a seat as Sunmi was turning on the projection. "It is good that you could join us, MIss Shin." Sunmi said
"Well you know me always love to come to class." Yejin said as she looked at her
"That is good, keep it up." Sunmi said as she typed on her computer. "So Today we are going to talk about the shadowkissed bond. As you know there are different laws in different countries for this bond. The laws here are that schools must keep a list of their shadowkissed students and thier moroi partner unless they are special reasons not to." Sunmi started as she looked at them "Does any one know what happens in a shadowkissed bond?" She asked as Yewon raised his hand "Go ahead." She said
"IT happens when a spirit users brings back a dead person to life." Yewon said as he nodded "Arron-ge says it usually happens when you are close with that person." He added
"That is correct." Sunmi said as she looked at him "The details of each situation is different but the outcomes are the same. Spirit users that form this bond can understand eachother's thoughts, can heal others, and the non-spirit user can be transported into their vision then see what they are seeing and what they are feeling as well." Sunmi said as she looked at them "The shaodwkissed person usually has golden colored eyes when they are in the mind of their partner." She added as she passed out note books. "These have information about past Shadowkissed individuals and notes about the bond. Please read pages one through twenty for next class and take notes." Sunmi said as she looked at the clock.
"Sunmi-sam, spirit users have special powers right?" Yejin asked as she looked at her
"Yes. Many of them have powers conntected outside of the elements." Sunmi said as she looked at her
"I see." Yejin said as she tapped her pencil on her notebook
"Do the Yingsu council have to register their's as well?" Suhyo asked as she leaned on her elbow
"Yes once their school is established, but granted they do not work in the court so they might not." Sunmi answered as she switched slides to moroi history. "Alright so lets move on to history." Sunmi said as she moved to start talking about the history.
•••
Dalyu was pushing a sandbag across the feild as she looked at Soohyun blowing a whistle everytime that they kids made a lap. They were in conditioning class right now as Joongi was running the wolves. She watched as Yuxi came out of the shifting cabin in his wolf form with Goongmin being their translator as he walked next to him. Dalyu just kept pushing the sandbag as she got the stations in place for the rest of Soohyun's conditioning class. "Soohyun is drilling them hard for being lazy during the summer." Dalyu said
"Granted they are teenagers." Joohyun said as she brought over a few boxes of breaking boards.
"They still need to keep in shape." Goongmin said "Some of them still think the threat is gone with letting those people make their council." goongmin said
"They know. They just are deciding to be kids once in awhile." Dalyu answered as she took a box from Joohyun.
"Yuxi wants to know how seeing your first day is going." Goongmin said
"It is going fine." Dalyu answered as she looked at them. "I need to go find the training staffs." Dalyu walked off just sticking her hands in her pockets.
"Is she okay?" Goongmin looked at Joohyun
"Yeah, she's fine. Sanghuk had been werid today too. Memories of school weren't so great for them. Friends leaving, broken promises." Joohyun said
"Yeah well it wasn't easy for us either. I mean it made more jobs for our kind, but your world is still hard to adjust to." Goongmin said as he turned to watch the kids running.
Joongi looked back at the group as he barked. "Faster, you punks! You'll never out run Strigoi and pounce them like this!" He barked at them as he picked up the pace.
Jiyong pounded past Luna just catching up with the twins just running next to Yewon. He heard Joongi add on that this was their last lap then they were going to run drills. He looked as Yewon was getting closer as he felt someone tumble into him as he howled. "Hey!" He barked
Yewon tumbled into him just causing them roll in the grass as the pack stopped. "Sorry! Yejin tripped me!" Yewon rolled off Jiyong just helping get up by pushing his side up. He glared over to his sister as she sat up on her hind legs just shaking her fur. He back to Jiyong just seeing him stomp back over to the group. Yewon sighed as he made his way over to his sister. "Why did you do that?" HE poke her side
"You kept hitting me with your tail." Yejin side eyed him.
"Mature." Was yewon's response as he turned to Joongi.
"Today you will be working with Yuxi on dashing drills and jumpping." Joongi looked at him as he nodded them off.
Dalyu looked at the group in front of her as she spun her wooden staff in her hand. This year they had combined moroi dhampir classes to teach Moroi hand to hand combat, but keep them separate from Dhampirs. "So you kids can not pass this line." She looked at her Moroi few under the tented area.
"Why not?" Jihyun asked
"Because I'll crack your ribs." Jisoo leaned on his stick
"I make the rules that is why. Today we will be going through some drills with these. They will give you balance and teach you begining skills with using sliver stakes. These are more easy to weild for beginners. It is easier to start larger then learn the smaller movements. Also today we will be doing some drills with the wolves on partnering. Most of you during your test with Sanghyuk and I did not use your wolves aglity nor bodies to your advantage." Dalyu said
"After these drills, the moroi students will go to your directed magic classes." Sanghyuk added "Follow us." He told them as Dalyu started with simple movements.
•••
It was getting late as Kentaro lead the group with Mina in the middle as they were walking to the edge of the woods just hidden. Kentaro could see the lights of the school light up as the whole field was full of students working on skills. "Here should be good." He said
Mingxi watched as she watched the teachers working the students as she spotted a famillar wolf letting a more peitte dhampir jump off his back as student wolves and dhampir students were following their lead. "She is the one with Yuxi." Mingxi narrowed her eyes
"She looks just like her mother. Look at her neck." Joon said
"Yes, those stupid marks. She has killed some of you." Jaejoong said "They are good teachers. They even have Moroi students learning martial arts." Jaejoong pointed out Joohyun and Soohyun correcting forms of students not with their specialization teachers.
"That sorry wolf got her to teach for him. What a pity for her family." Mingxi watched Fei. "Are you surprised that they got Hyosung to teach your old class?" She looked at Jaejoong
"No. She is good. She was always second behind me in school." jaejoong said He watched Suhyo and Jihyun as Hyosung was throwing hay tied into balls at them. He only nodded as he turned to Mingxi "Can you see a way to get Dalyu easily?" He asked
"Not from just watching five minutes, idiot. Though I can tell you she's close to Yuxi.I could lie to Hwitaek about an imprint." MIngxi said
Kentaro watched Hyoyeon as she raised up her arm from a stray hay ball as it froze in mind air. "That one is spirit user. she is not with the other elemental users. She can proably stop time for a time." He watched the hay ball keep flying as Hyoyeon moved out of the way.
Joon nodded as he watched the group watch them. He watched the wolves go into tall cabins just coming out as their human forms as he watched the one pointed out as Yuxi walk over to Dalyu just sitting next to her as it seemed it was break time as kids were spraying each other with water or chugging it down. He had been learning to read lips as he watched Yuxi and Dalyu talk. It was hard as they were far away he shook his head as he couldn't tell what they were saying.
"Can you tell what they are talking about?" Jaejoong looked at Joon
"No, they are too far away." He said
"We should go soon. Mina can only hold this for another thirty minutes." Kentaro said
"With more training I can do it for longer, I have been practicing." Mina said
"It is fine, dear. You're doing your best." Jaejoong said as he glanced at her "Lets go, we have seen enough for today." He said as the group started to leave.
•••
"Gah, we should have ran a little this summer!" Jiyong poured his water bottle over his head as he looked at Renjun. "Joongi didn't go easy on us today nor did Dalyu or Yuxi." He laid back on the grass.
"At least class is over for the day." Renjun said as he drank his water. He crossed his legs as he watched more of the group sit down "We only have lunch now since they changed their schedule to be all our classes then training." He said
"Yeah I guess you are right." Jiyong said
"Did you guys heard about the feeders Yunho and Yuxi found early this morning wandering around." JIhyun looked at the group "Jisoo saw them." He added
"I saw Yunho and Yuxi helping the medical team transport them to the infirmary." Jisoo looked at the group
"Oh yeah, the hyungs in the pack were saying they were from the Yingsu council." Yewon said with a nod.
"Is that how all of you treat your food?" Yejin crossed her arms as Yewon smacked her arm.
"No, of course not. Idiot." Suhyo glared at her from the outside of the group. "They probably escaped. It is a job when you have both Moroi and Strigoi eatting on you." She said
"Yes, strigoi have stronger jaws than us." Namjoon piped up. "They get more damaging scars from them than from us." He added
"Have any of you actually seen one?" Jiyong asked as Luna stood up just walking away. "Oh . Sorry!" aS he was smacked by mutliple pack members.
"Why are you saying sorry for?" Suhyo asked
"It is her business to tell you if she wants." Jiyeon glared at Jiyong.
"I said I was sorry, god damn." The boy said as he was hit again by Seokwoo. "Next time one of you hit me then I'll break a hand!" Jiyong snapped
"Chill out, you are worse than Yejin." Yewon shook his head. "We aren't really allowed to bring up strigoi around Luna since she has trauma from it. Yuxi says we do not bring up past trauma that can hurt pack family members." He explained to them "She has to bring it up herself." He added
"Stop talking." Jiyeon snapped "That was pack only information." She said
"Whatever, we learn about their culture." Hyungwon looked at the eldest. "did any of you smell something werid today coming from the forest?" He asked
"Oh yeah, I smelled the stench of death. Maybe something died like a deer?" Jimin looked at them from Namjoon's side.
"Maybe." Yejin answered. "But it didn't smell like a regualr dead animal." She said as she leaned on her knees.
"Maybe it is just really dead." Renjun said as he nodded. "Anyway, you guys were cool jumpping over their magic." He added
"Yeah, it is werid. It was the first time doing something like this." Jibeom said "We usually just make cool palor tricks." He said
"Until someone tripped." Suhyo looked at Jihyun.
"I was tripping because I got hit by a tail!" Jihyun glared at her
"My bad, I came in too hot." Seokwoo laughed as he was smacked by Yejin.
"Lame." She looked at him as she turned to Suhyo. "You know you'd be better if you didn't hesistate to really jump on our back when you doing drills." She said
"Thanks, I suppose. I not use to wolves. I have never really liked them or they have never liked me - so this was new." Suhyo said "Plus we do not get this type of training like Jibeom said. I'll get better wtih practice." She added
"Kids, food will be served soon. You ones that need feeders should hurry to sign up." Dalyu walked over with Yuxi. "then you all have your language class to end the day." She waved them along. She watched one by one them walking off with friends or in small groups. Dalyu turned to Yuxi when they were out of ear shot. "They could smell them too." She said
"Yeah, I had Joongi report it. We can't do anything if we can't see them or find them." Yuxi said as he walked with her. "They were probably scouting the kids training. We will put down sliver stakes and wire down in the morning." He said
"Sounds like a good plan." Dalyu said
Yuxi nodded as he looked at Dalyu. "I am really sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said as he stopped as she turned to look at him.
"I am fine. Nothing happened, Yuxi." Dalyu said
"But i Know something did." He crossed his arms.
"Yuxi-ge! You want to come eat with us?" Yewon jogged up.
"Sure, I'll be there in a second." Yuxi said as he looked at Dalyu already walked off and inside. He sighed as he followed Yewon. "You know if you want to stop being 'tripped' by your sister then don't run by her. You were doing pretty well running by Jiyong." Yuxi teased Yewon as he glared at him
"Haha, you are so very funny." Yewon rolled his eyes. They entered the cafeteria together as they stood in line just getting their food as they sat down at the table with Yejin, Hyungwon, and Seokwoo as they started to eat.
