Bonds
Yewon watched as Yuxi watched DAlyu helping students filling out their feeding schedule as she was ushering Suhyo and JIhyun in the tent as thier caines enlongated into the fangs as they walked in. He looked back at his friends as Jiyong was already sitting back down with seconds just stealing REnjun's rice bowl as the other was busy looking at Jibeom's phone for a second before glaring at the other wolf. Yewon stuck his chopsticks against his teeth as he took a bite of his kimchi in his mouth. "Ge, do you want me to go ask Jeon-sam if she wants to come sit with us?" Yewon finally spoke as he looked up to Joongi coming to their bench as he slid down just getting an annoyed sighed seokwoo and Yejin on the other end.
"yewon, i think he prefers stalking the prey from a distance." Joongi answered as he sat down just looking at Yuxi.
"Shut up." Yuxi turned back to his food. He stuffed a spoonful of kimchi and rice in his mouth as he ate.
"What? That is what you looked liked." Joongi said as he looked at him. "i mean you two do almost everything together." He added
"We are friends that is all." Yuxi gave Joongi a warning glare.
"Yeah whatever you say." Joongi answered "Jeon, there is open seat over here." Joongi called out as Dalyu was walking with her tray.
"Thanks but I already told Renjun, I would sit with their table." She walked by just sliding inbetween Luna and Jimin at the other table. She started to eat just listening to the kids conversations. She finished eatting just leaning on her elbow as she listened to the others talk.
Luna looked at the boys as they were eatting off other's plates who were finished as she knew as a wolf herself that they lost more calories by just shifting into their wolf form that the others would doing thier full combat class. "Unni, can I have the rest of your rice?" LUna blinked at DAlyu
"Of course, you can have the rest of my tray." Dalyu said as she pushed it to her. "How was class today?" Dalyu asked her
"it was okay. Tomorrow we are talking about strigoi and spirit users with Sunmi." Luna mixed in the rice that Dalyu had given her with her left kimchi and DAlyu's.
"Sunmi does that lesson with everyone. She even gave it to my class." Dalyu told her as she sipped on her bottle of tea.
"I am not looking forward to it." Luna answered as she stuffed a spoonful in . "Because of personal reasons." She added as she looked at her
"I know that it can be a really hard subject, but you need to learn about it so that you can protect others from them." Dalyu said "I wish I had Sunmi's class longer as she only barely mentioned the strigoi in our class. If i had known more then i could have killed them easier." Dalyu looked at Luna. "If you want me to sit there wiht you or talk to you about it before hand then please let me know." Dalyu smiled at her
"Thank you, Jeon-sam. The others in the pack just tell me pain will go away, but they do not understand anything about them since not many of them have actually faught them." Luna sighed
"I told you, Luna. Just call me Dalyu or unnie." DAlyu stood up as she looked at her. "I have to go get changed for my guard duty for later but come and find me if you ever want to talk." Dalyu said
"I will." Luna said as she watched Dalyu get up as she walked out of the cafeteria. She turned back to her food just seeing Renjun tossing rice balls at Jimin and Jiyong. She shook her head as she finished up her food just stacking up the trays she had gotten just taking them to the drop area a she started to make her way back to her room.
Jiyong caught another rice ball in his mouth as he smiled at Renjun. "Told you guys that I could catch it in my mouth." He said as he looked at them. "Do you guys want to come over to Renjun's and I's room to play video games. I can make snacks at the pack house kitchen then bring them over." JIyoung said
"Yeah that sounds like fun. I mean we didn't get any homework tonight." Jimin said as he looked at Namjoon and Jihyun.
"We are in." Jihyun said as he looked over to them. "We can bring some extra controllers as well." He added as he looked at Jisoo talking to Seungmin. "You two coming?" HE asked
"Yeah." Jisoo nodded as Seungmin agreed
"Then we might want to do this in a bigger room." Renjun said as he looked at the guys. "We could do it on our floors main louge." He suggested as they all nodded.
"Sounds like fun, can we join you?" Yejin walked over as she could hear the group talking about it as Seokwoo had followed her. She looked back to see Yewon talking to a half awake Hyungwon.
"I mean only if you can get into the boy's dorm." Jiyong said as he looked at her. "You'll have to get past Goongmin." He said as he looked at him.
"Goongmin? That is easy. He is probably going to be a pack house tonight because there is a game on tonight and they get drunk and watch the game." Yejin said as she sat down as Seokwoo sat next to her.
"You should bring your brother." Jimin looked at her. "He is good at games." HE added
"Yeah like my brother would want to play video games all night on school nights when he could read all night and get caught up or more like get ahead." Yejin said
"What you all talking about?" Yewon walked over as he looked at them just pulling Hyungwon behind them.
"We were talking about a night of playing video games in the dorm lounge, you want it in? Or are you going to read book all night like a nerd?" Jiyong asked as he looked at him.
"Probably going to be a nerd." Yejin looked back at her brother.
"No, it sounds fun. I'll join in. Don't listen to my sister. I am not a total buzz kill." HE said as he looked at them.
"OKay well, I will have to use the pack house kitchen so we will meet in the dorm lounge at in a few hours." Jiyong said as he patted REnjun's shoulder. "Come on, Junnie. You can help me." JIyong said
"Oh I want to pipe out the frosting this time!" Renjun scamppered up as he followed the tall wolf.
"What are you all still doing in here? The cleaning staff need to clean up." Arron walked over as he walked out of the feeding stall.
"Sorry, we are going now." Yewon said as they all walked out of the cafeteria just heading to their dorms. Yewon looked over to his sister just joking around with Seokwoo as they were walking towards the pack house like most of the wolves were. He started to his room with Hyungwon who was stretching. "You going to take a nap? WAnt me to wake you to go play video games and hang out?" He asked
"nope, just let me sleep. Today was brutal." Hyungwon said as he watched the other nod at him.

Mingxi tapped on the picture of Dalyu as she was in her room just sighing to herself. SHe stood up as she walked down the hall to Kentaro's room as she knocked on the door. SHe watched as the other opened up the door as he stood there. "Can you dream walk to people in the school yet?" She asked
"I can try. You know I have to have seen the person to in order to find their dream string." Kentaro said
"You've seen her." MIngxi handed him the picture. "You'll think of something if you can reach her." She said
"You know that if i alter someone's dreams then it can the opposite reaction that you want. Plus I do not know if Hwitaek will tap into her dream accidently." Kentaro said
"He won't, it doesn't work like that." Mingxi said
"wE don't know there have been advancements in the bond." Kentaro said
"I know, I know - but just try. There is no way that we can kidnap her with all those people around, plus she has some very strong fighters willing to protect her if we do try. Plus she can handle her own." She said as she started to walk away
Kentaro sighed as he shut his door as he looked at the time. HE would have to wait a few more hours before we would even try to dream walk. It would be pretty hard to since he was only seen Dalyu once and never interacted with her. He set down the photo on his desk as he made his way downstairs just going straight to the bar as he mixed a drink of blood and soju. He picked up the cup just taking a drink as he headed up back to his room.
"Why are you drinking?" Hyojin asked as she looked at him.
"Mingxi wants me to dream walk so I prepareing myself for the aftereffects of using must spirit." Kentaro said as he looked at them.
"Mina is making a lot of head way. She kept us invisible uptil we got to the school for a few hours this time. They are making some sort or sliver barrier around the forest and school." She added as she looked at him.
"Is she okay?" Kentaro asked
"Yeah, she is sleeping." Hyojin said as she looked at them. "Joon said the barrier makes the plan of sneaking in to get that girl imppossible now and the idea of Hwitaek sneaking out to see her if we implant ideas she is in danger." Hyojin said
"The sliver won't bother us Moroi. We can still try to lure her out into the forest through Hwitaek. I can try tonight instead of Dalyu. If that doesn't work then I will do it on Dalyu." Kentaro said as he gluped down his drink as he handed the glass to Hyojin. "go check to see if Hwitaek is still asleep." He said as he walked into his own room just laying down.
Hyojin lightly cracked hwitaek's door open as she peeked in just seeing him asleep just completely knocked out as she swiftly closed the door as she walked back into Kentaro's room. She pulled up his desk chair. "He's out like a light." she said
"great, now just watch me and make sure i don't hurt myself. If you think that someting bad is going on, just snap me out of it." Kentaro said as he closed his eyes. He reopened them just seeing the cream color plane just with different strings around him as he looked around. "Hwitaek." He said as the other strings disappeared a navy blue one was left as Kentaro reached out just wrapping the string around his wrist as he was jumpped into Hwitaek's dream. He looked around as he was sitting across Hwitaek and DAlyu on a train as he could hear yelling in a foregin language. Kentaro looked around as there was gun shots and other screams. Kentaro sighed as this was going to be hard, Hwitaek was having a nightmare. He sat as he watched the door to their train open up as Dalyu began to speak in that foregin language as Hwitaek clutched her hand. Kentaro watched a gun was pointed at them as Dalyu kept talking as the gun was fired at Hwitaek as he spoke as Kentaro could tell he was trying to use his complusion. Kentaro jumpped back as he watched Dalyu get infront of Hwitaek as a bullet smacked straight into Dalyu as he watched blood poured from her wound as it was starting to come from .
"Yu, Yu! I need help! Please someone help us!" Hwitaek yelled out while grabbing onto Dalyu's hand. "Yu, you can't leave me. Please." Kentaro could hear the boy say as he stood over them. He watched as the blood slowly stopped as he could see her breathing start to form again.
Kentaro bent down next to Hwitaek. "Don't you think that it is their fault for your precious yu to die in your arms? those guardians. Those people that put her in danger. The school, the things that they taught her. her life means nothing to yours. this will happen again unless she is by your side protected by the council. You do not want to admit it but it is true." Kentaro pressed his hand on top of hwitaek's as he changed his dream. Kentaro backed up as he found himself in Hwitaek's room as Dalyu was laying beside Hwitaek. Kentaro waved his hand as he unwrapped the string from his wrist as he jolted forward just looking at Hyojin.
"What happened?" Hyojin asked him
"I implented some messages in his brain." Kentaro said as he looked at her. "hopefully they will stick." Kentaro looked at her as he rubbed his forehead.
"well what did you see?" Hyojin asked
"I am not too sure. Plus I never talk about the dreams I walk in on. You know that not get out so I can sleep this off." Kentaro said as he looked at her.
"Fine, this better have worked." Hyojin said as she got up just walking out of his room.
•••
Hwitaek rolled over just waking himself up as he rubbed his eyes. HE looked at the ceiling as he looked around just seeing himself the only in the room. HE sighed as he couldn't believe himself in what he just dreamed. He sat up just thinking about that voice inside his dream. Maybe it was right, but he wasn't sure that he was okay with staying here. He sighed as he didn't understand why that could happened unless. He got up as he swung open his door as Mingxi was walking down the hall. "You!" He pointed at her as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"What? Have a nightmare?" SHe asked
"Did you make Kentaro dream walk me?!" Hwitaek asked
"No, i didn't. HE was suppose to dream walk someone else." Mingxi said
"Stay out of Dalyu's dreams or I'll end you, Mingxi." Hwitaek said
"if you end me then they will kill her. or worse. Aren't you having a hard time without her around?" Mingxi asked "all that use of your mind control and no one to stablize you." She said as she looked at him.
"I am fine. Leave her alone." Hwitaek said as he glared at her
"Oh I am sure that you are. I have a proposal for you if you are interested. Just come and talk to me if you want to know about it." Mingxi said
"I don't. I don't ever want to help you, ." Hwitaek walked back in his room just slamming the door shut.
Mingxi opened up kentaro's room door as she smacked it shut as she marched over to his side just smacking his hip area. "The boy figured out you dreamed walked him, or he thinks so! I told you the girl!" Mingxi watched him roll over.
"Look, dream walking is ing hard. I need some more time to connect with dalyu. I implented some messages in his head. Calm down, he won't every really know it was me. Now get out so I can get some sleep or I might just attack you in your sleep." Kentaro said as he watched her leave.
•••
Jiyong finished packing up the snacks that he had baked and made with REnjun as they sneaked past the others in the den just walking out of the pack house with Renjun just hurrying to the boy's dorm just going up to the floor where they were meeting just seeing some of the others there just setting up drinks and other snacks. He walked over his box just seeing Yewon setting up a game system to the tv. "I made cookies, a cake, and some cupcakes." He placed the boxes on the table as he looked at everyone.
"Yejin is hiding out in my room. Goongmin hasn't left yet." Yewon said
"When we left he was in the pack house making bets wtih Joongi about who was going to win." Renjun said
"I'll go get her." Yewon said as he walked off just bringing back Yejin as she went straight for the snacks. "Do not eat so much pig, those are for everyone." HE added as he looked at them. "So I made a list on who can play when and stuff - you know taking turns." Yewon said as he held up a sheet of paper.
"You are such a dweeb." Yejin said as she sat down on the couch. "Come on, fire up this thing and lets get to playing." She said as she looked at the group of guys.
"Don't leave us out." Suhyo walked up with Mina, Ryunosuke, and a few of the others. "We heard you guys saying that Goongmin would be gone so we hid out in different rooms." She said as she held up Ryunosuke's arm as he had a few games as well.
"This will mess up my list." Yewon said
"Oh forget the list, Won. Lets just have some fun while Goongmin gets faced and won't bother us." Jiyong said as he looked at the guy just taking his list and crumpling it up. He handed the five remotes around just letting Renjun got before him as he powered up mario party. "It is the best game we have right now for big groups of people." Jiyong said as he slumpped down in a spot next to Yewon.
"WE brought some board games to for people waiting." Mina said as she was carrying a few as some split off into groups to play.
A few hours later of playing Yewon peered around the corner as Sota was carrying around a clipboard just rubbing his eyes as he was coming down the stairs. "OKay, we got to get the girls out of here. Who is coming with me?" He asked
"We'll go." Jihyun grabbed Jisoo's arm.
"Us too." Renjun looked Jiyong. "THis was your idea, well to let the girls come." He said
"Fine." Jiyong handed the conroller to someone else as he followed them. "We should take them out the back stairs." Jiyong said as he pushed out the group out the back way. They made their way down the stairs as he peered around the corner as he motion for them to go out the door. He followed them as he watched around as he was guiding the group in the back as Jisoo was in the front. They made it to the girl's dorm just as JIsoo opened the door as the girls hurried in just getting in the elevator as Renjun was talking to both Joohyun and Hyosung coming form the staff apartments probably to do bed checks.
"REally, I have to show you something! It is really cool." Renjun said as Joohyun twisted his arm around his back. "owww, noona!" He cried
"Is it your friends breaking into the girl's dorm?" Joohyun asked as she glared at the other four as Jisoo was coming out of the loby. "Looks you all just got dentention, and this is me being nice." Joohyun snapped her fingers as she let go of REnjun.
"You five squat down and put your arms up while I go get sota." Hyosung marched off as she walked to the boys dorm just bringing back Sota with her.
"Thanks for finding them. Come on you five." Sota said as he started to walk about. "I know about game night, but you five only got caught so you guys have to run with Sooyun tomorrow morning." Sota said as he glared at them.
"Yeah, sorry Hyung." Yewon said
"Next time don't get caught." Sota answered as he walked into the dorm with them. He walked each one to their dorm room as He walked back to his post just sitting back down as he was working on his lesson plans.
•••
After their dentention, the boys filled into thier dorms for sleep only to be woken up again later for school. Yewon walked out of his dorm building just glaring at Yejin. "don't talk to me, I am tired." He slung his backpack over his shoulders.
"Yeah, because someof you relied on Renjun to distract both Joohyun and Hyosung. You should have sent heart breaker Jisoo over there and Jihyun." Yejin said as she looked at them.
"Thanks for helping up us get out of there though." LUna walked past as she made eye contact with JIhyun as she froze in place as everyone else kept walking as she rubbed her eyes just hurrying along.
"Is she okay?" Renjun asked as LUna darted past them.
"Yeah probably. She has always been a little odd like that." Jiyong crossed his arms as he shared a glance with the twins.
"It is nothing." Yejin said with a nod.
"You guys better get a move on or you'll be late." Namie walked by carrying some books in her hands. "and remember we have church tonight." SHe added as Church was a huge thing in their culture as many of wolves whinced.
"You guys it if important that you learn about why we go to it to begin with. St. Valdmir created our type of schools and it is has saved many of us." Jihyun spoke "I do not like it either, but it is the only thing I actually am okay with doing as a royal. It is the same thing when you guys have bonfires. Church is our bonfire." Jihyun said
"It is a way in our world keeps themselves sane from wanting to be turned into strigoi or help broken people away from that life." Jisoo added as some SUV's rolled up as two tall European males stepped out both having guardians around them.
"Whoa, look at Gucci brought in." Yejin said as she looked at them
"I bet their are Royal." Jihyun shook his head. "From court or some ." He added as they kept walking.
They walked into class as Sunmi was preparing blank sheets of paper on their desks. "Do not look at the peice of paper until I say so." Sunmi said as she looked at them as they took their seats. Sunmi looked up as one of the male from earlier walked in with Dalyu as she patted his shoulder saying something in a foregin language most of them do not know. "Alright, just take a seat in the back." Sunmi spoke in that language as she pointed to seat in the back near Jihyun and Jisoo that was empty.
"Thank you." Luka spoke as he stirded to the back in accented Korean. Luka sat down just leaning back in his chair. He looked at all the faces looking at him as he winked. "Hello?" He questioned again his broken accented Korean.
"Most of them understand English." Sunmi spoke, glancing in Luka's direction.
"ah, alright. Thank you." Luka responded as he leaned on his elbow. "Most of you are seniors then." He said as many of them nodded.
"Yes, that is correct. We call it third year though." JIyeon responded in English.
"So you all know Dalyu?" He asked
"Yeah, she is our combat teacher." Jihyun said "Who are you?" He added
Luka chuckled as he leaned back in his chair just placing his arms behind his head. He blinked at the kids. "I'm Luka. ONe of Dalyu's friends from Russia." He said
"So you're a moroi?" Jihyun asked
They watched Luka nodded as he kicked his legs up on the desk. "Yeah, I control fire no be deal." He shurgged "I didn't learn to fight like you kids - I prefer getting drunk and girls." Luka bluntly stated
"It is sad to see that being his goal in life with all that handsome going on." Yejin shook her head "yboy right there." She added as she laid her head down.
"Don't say that! He could be royal." Yewon hissed at his sister
"Pretty sure he's not." Jiyong replied back
"He's not, I would know." Suhyo looked at them
"Why is he even here?" Luna mumbled
"Why are you here?" Jihyun asked
"Ah, yes. My family is looking for some new dhampirs and they are looking at around at places. my dad wanted to see Dalyu wanted a better paying job." Luka nodded
"The er wants to steal Dalyu-noona from us." Jihyun said as he looked at the others.
"Seriously?!" REjun snapped "Oh my gosh, no way - no how. That would be terrible!" Renjun rambled
"Aish, calm down." Yejin looked at REnjun as she turned to Luka. She pushed down Yewon just leaning on his back as she stretched over Jisoo's desk. "Hey boy, you can't have her so go over st. vlads." Yejin spoke in a slight accented English.
"Yejin!" Yewon hissed
Luka raised an eyebrow as he smirked. "Do you really want to play with me? Try and stop me." Luka bared his fangs much long than most of the moroi here.
Yejin just simply reached out and socked Luka in the face - as hard as she could just hearing a crack. "Yeah, i'll play!" She snapped back as JIyong howled, high fiving her.
"You two that is not something to high five over!" Yewon pushed his sister off of him. "I am so sorry!" Yewon glared at Yejin
"Hell, I am not. He can't provoke me not expect anything to happen. Plus he can't have dalyu. YOu see Yuxi ge around her." Yejin looked at Yewon.
", broke my nose!" LUka snarled in Russian as he stood up as sunmi had exited the room.
"I didn't break it probably. I just popped some blood vessels. It is probably a nast bruise." Yejin shurgged her shoulders as Sunmi was coming back in with some books.
"What happened?!" Sunmi snapped as everyone covered their ears with their hands and laid thier heads down to not let Sunmi read their minds easily.
"that one punched me!" Luka pointed at Yejin
"No, it was me. We all know it was me." Jiyong put up his hands. "I'll go see Yuxi." He stood up as he grabbed his bag
"Jiyong, you'll take him to in the infirmary as well." Sunmi glared at him.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on, boy. I mean Luka." Jiyong said as the rest of the class laughed as he waited for Luka to follow him. Jiyong walked him to the infirmary just poking his head to see Sanghyuk in there. "Hey hyung, pretty boy got hit by my fist." Jiyong walked off as he knew that Yuxi right now would be in the pack house. He walked over to the pack house just knocking on Yuxi's office door.
"Come in." Yuxi said
"Hey. I punched the russian guy." Jiyong walked in just sitting down just slinging his bag to the floor. "Granted he threated us and told us he was going to steal Dalyu-noona." He added
"So then you just punched him?" Yuxi crossed his arms.
"Yeah.." Jiyong looked at him "I think he said try and stop me by what Jihyun translated." He shrugged.
"Which one did you hit?" Yuxi rubbed his temples
"Luka?" Jiyong questioned "Total douche." He added
"Alright, well. You have morning dentention with Soohyun for a week and you are on shift cabin clean up for a week too. You better hope I don't find out who really hit him." Yuxi said
"But it was me!' Jiyong told him
"Jiyong, I know you. You would have to have someone pull you off of him." Yuxi stood up
"I am getting better." Jiyong stood up just grabbing his bag
"Get back to class before i skin you." Yuxi warned as Jiyong hurried off. Yuxi sighed as he made his way to in the building just walking to the infirmary just seeing Dalyu talking to Luka. "I am sorry about my student." HE said
"He is fine. Bruised is all, plus knowing LUka he probably earned it." Dalyu spoke as she smacked Luka's arm. "Provoking students. Nice." Dalyu looked at him.
"You aren't leaving again?" Yuxi looked at her
"No. Why?" Dalyu asked
"He told them you were because he was giving you a job." Yuxi said "That is why the kids got upset." HE added
"Idiot! I turned it down, you know I won't leave." Dalyu glared at Luka. "You are only Adrian's tag along. He is here to learn about teh council for court." She added as she turned to Yuxi. "I am sorry about him. I thought he could help sunmi teach about strigoi and spirit users since his mother and sister are one." Dalyu glared at the other
"It is not me he should say sorry to." Yuxi said
"I know, he will at the start of combat class." Dalyu said
"Alright, well I have to get back to my own class which is starting soon." Yuxi said as he walked off.
dalyu turned to LUka as she shook her head. "Thanks, now he's worried about me running off." She said
"And that is a bad thing? You should just come back to Russia." Luka said "You don't even like it here." He added
"No, I need to stay. I do like it here. I have made some good friends and the kids need me to teach them. Plus nevermind." Dalyu shook her head
"What? Tell me." Luka held the rag to his nose.
"Because Hwitaek is close by." Dalyu rubbed her face.
"Oh." Luka answered "isn't he an enemy?" He added
"Yes, but it si complicated. Don't tell anyone." She said
"Who knows?" Luka asked
"Just you and Yuxi. He was the guy from earlier." She sighed.
"YOu mean the is guy that took you before that is him?" Luka asked as she nodded. "You know there are laws that the coucnil can't force Hwitaek to stay if the court knows about his bond. The council has that law too. You're protected. Queen Vasillia made the law a few months into her reign." Luka said
"Yes but that only is affective if the documention was made at the start of the bond." Dalyu said "Hwitaek is the only one protected." She sighed
"Neither of your parents documented the bond!?" Luka snapped as he whinced.
"My mother thought it would ruin her chances of ever getting into high court which she died before even trying." Dalyu said
"That is bull. I can talk to Rose and -" HE started
"No, do not do that. OUr Court is different. Do not bring your court in my life, Lu. They will not understand. We might live under the same world - but our culture is different even if we share it. Asia is different." Dalyu said
"That is why you and Hwitaek need to defect to Europe." Luka sighed "Queen Vasilia can help." HE added
"I can't. I am sorry." Dalyu looked at him
"No, you won't. There's a difference." Luka looked at her "I love you, you're part of my family. I just want to see you happy and safe." Luka hugged her side. "That deal I offered that night still stands." Luka whispered.
"I know. I told you then no, and right now is still a no. I am okay." Dalyu patted his head. "I have to get to the feild to set up combat class and you have a whole group of kids to say sorry to." Dalyu pulled away from him as she motioned for him to follow.

Alot of first few chapters will mostly likely be building realtions before any real 'fighting' happens. I hope you guys liked this chapter!
"yewon, i think he prefers stalking the prey from a distance." Joongi answered as he sat down just looking at Yuxi.
"Shut up." Yuxi turned back to his food. He stuffed a spoonful of kimchi and rice in his mouth as he ate.
"What? That is what you looked liked." Joongi said as he looked at him. "i mean you two do almost everything together." He added
"We are friends that is all." Yuxi gave Joongi a warning glare.
"Yeah whatever you say." Joongi answered "Jeon, there is open seat over here." Joongi called out as Dalyu was walking with her tray.
"Thanks but I already told Renjun, I would sit with their table." She walked by just sliding inbetween Luna and Jimin at the other table. She started to eat just listening to the kids conversations. She finished eatting just leaning on her elbow as she listened to the others talk.
Luna looked at the boys as they were eatting off other's plates who were finished as she knew as a wolf herself that they lost more calories by just shifting into their wolf form that the others would doing thier full combat class. "Unni, can I have the rest of your rice?" LUna blinked at DAlyu
"Of course, you can have the rest of my tray." Dalyu said as she pushed it to her. "How was class today?" Dalyu asked her
"it was okay. Tomorrow we are talking about strigoi and spirit users with Sunmi." Luna mixed in the rice that Dalyu had given her with her left kimchi and DAlyu's.
"Sunmi does that lesson with everyone. She even gave it to my class." Dalyu told her as she sipped on her bottle of tea.
"I am not looking forward to it." Luna answered as she stuffed a spoonful in . "Because of personal reasons." She added as she looked at her
"I know that it can be a really hard subject, but you need to learn about it so that you can protect others from them." Dalyu said "I wish I had Sunmi's class longer as she only barely mentioned the strigoi in our class. If i had known more then i could have killed them easier." Dalyu looked at Luna. "If you want me to sit there wiht you or talk to you about it before hand then please let me know." Dalyu smiled at her
"Thank you, Jeon-sam. The others in the pack just tell me pain will go away, but they do not understand anything about them since not many of them have actually faught them." Luna sighed
"I told you, Luna. Just call me Dalyu or unnie." DAlyu stood up as she looked at her. "I have to go get changed for my guard duty for later but come and find me if you ever want to talk." Dalyu said
"I will." Luna said as she watched Dalyu get up as she walked out of the cafeteria. She turned back to her food just seeing Renjun tossing rice balls at Jimin and Jiyong. She shook her head as she finished up her food just stacking up the trays she had gotten just taking them to the drop area a she started to make her way back to her room.
Jiyong caught another rice ball in his mouth as he smiled at Renjun. "Told you guys that I could catch it in my mouth." He said as he looked at them. "Do you guys want to come over to Renjun's and I's room to play video games. I can make snacks at the pack house kitchen then bring them over." JIyoung said
"Yeah that sounds like fun. I mean we didn't get any homework tonight." Jimin said as he looked at Namjoon and Jihyun.
"We are in." Jihyun said as he looked over to them. "We can bring some extra controllers as well." He added as he looked at Jisoo talking to Seungmin. "You two coming?" HE asked
"Yeah." Jisoo nodded as Seungmin agreed
"Then we might want to do this in a bigger room." Renjun said as he looked at the guys. "We could do it on our floors main louge." He suggested as they all nodded.
"Sounds like fun, can we join you?" Yejin walked over as she could hear the group talking about it as Seokwoo had followed her. She looked back to see Yewon talking to a half awake Hyungwon.
"I mean only if you can get into the boy's dorm." Jiyong said as he looked at her. "You'll have to get past Goongmin." He said as he looked at him.
"Goongmin? That is easy. He is probably going to be a pack house tonight because there is a game on tonight and they get drunk and watch the game." Yejin said as she sat down as Seokwoo sat next to her.
"You should bring your brother." Jimin looked at her. "He is good at games." HE added
"Yeah like my brother would want to play video games all night on school nights when he could read all night and get caught up or more like get ahead." Yejin said
"What you all talking about?" Yewon walked over as he looked at them just pulling Hyungwon behind them.
"We were talking about a night of playing video games in the dorm lounge, you want it in? Or are you going to read book all night like a nerd?" Jiyong asked as he looked at him.
"Probably going to be a nerd." Yejin looked back at her brother.
"No, it sounds fun. I'll join in. Don't listen to my sister. I am not a total buzz kill." HE said as he looked at them.
"OKay well, I will have to use the pack house kitchen so we will meet in the dorm lounge at in a few hours." Jiyong said as he patted REnjun's shoulder. "Come on, Junnie. You can help me." JIyong said
"Oh I want to pipe out the frosting this time!" Renjun scamppered up as he followed the tall wolf.
"What are you all still doing in here? The cleaning staff need to clean up." Arron walked over as he walked out of the feeding stall.
"Sorry, we are going now." Yewon said as they all walked out of the cafeteria just heading to their dorms. Yewon looked over to his sister just joking around with Seokwoo as they were walking towards the pack house like most of the wolves were. He started to his room with Hyungwon who was stretching. "You going to take a nap? WAnt me to wake you to go play video games and hang out?" He asked
"nope, just let me sleep. Today was brutal." Hyungwon said as he watched the other nod at him.

Mingxi tapped on the picture of Dalyu as she was in her room just sighing to herself. SHe stood up as she walked down the hall to Kentaro's room as she knocked on the door. SHe watched as the other opened up the door as he stood there. "Can you dream walk to people in the school yet?" She asked
"I can try. You know I have to have seen the person to in order to find their dream string." Kentaro said
"You've seen her." MIngxi handed him the picture. "You'll think of something if you can reach her." She said
"You know that if i alter someone's dreams then it can the opposite reaction that you want. Plus I do not know if Hwitaek will tap into her dream accidently." Kentaro said
"He won't, it doesn't work like that." Mingxi said
"wE don't know there have been advancements in the bond." Kentaro said
"I know, I know - but just try. There is no way that we can kidnap her with all those people around, plus she has some very strong fighters willing to protect her if we do try. Plus she can handle her own." She said as she started to walk away
Kentaro sighed as he shut his door as he looked at the time. HE would have to wait a few more hours before we would even try to dream walk. It would be pretty hard to since he was only seen Dalyu once and never interacted with her. He set down the photo on his desk as he made his way downstairs just going straight to the bar as he mixed a drink of blood and soju. He picked up the cup just taking a drink as he headed up back to his room.
"Why are you drinking?" Hyojin asked as she looked at him.
"Mingxi wants me to dream walk so I prepareing myself for the aftereffects of using must spirit." Kentaro said as he looked at them.
"Mina is making a lot of head way. She kept us invisible uptil we got to the school for a few hours this time. They are making some sort or sliver barrier around the forest and school." She added as she looked at him.
"Is she okay?" Kentaro asked
"Yeah, she is sleeping." Hyojin said as she looked at them. "Joon said the barrier makes the plan of sneaking in to get that girl imppossible now and the idea of Hwitaek sneaking out to see her if we implant ideas she is in danger." Hyojin said
"The sliver won't bother us Moroi. We can still try to lure her out into the forest through Hwitaek. I can try tonight instead of Dalyu. If that doesn't work then I will do it on Dalyu." Kentaro said as he gluped down his drink as he handed the glass to Hyojin. "go check to see if Hwitaek is still asleep." He said as he walked into his own room just laying down.
Hyojin lightly cracked hwitaek's door open as she peeked in just seeing him asleep just completely knocked out as she swiftly closed the door as she walked back into Kentaro's room. She pulled up his desk chair. "He's out like a light." she said
"great, now just watch me and make sure i don't hurt myself. If you think that someting bad is going on, just snap me out of it." Kentaro said as he closed his eyes. He reopened them just seeing the cream color plane just with different strings around him as he looked around. "Hwitaek." He said as the other strings disappeared a navy blue one was left as Kentaro reached out just wrapping the string around his wrist as he was jumpped into Hwitaek's dream. He looked around as he was sitting across Hwitaek and DAlyu on a train as he could hear yelling in a foregin language. Kentaro looked around as there was gun shots and other screams. Kentaro sighed as this was going to be hard, Hwitaek was having a nightmare. He sat as he watched the door to their train open up as Dalyu began to speak in that foregin language as Hwitaek clutched her hand. Kentaro watched a gun was pointed at them as Dalyu kept talking as the gun was fired at Hwitaek as he spoke as Kentaro could tell he was trying to use his complusion. Kentaro jumpped back as he watched Dalyu get infront of Hwitaek as a bullet smacked straight into Dalyu as he watched blood poured from her wound as it was starting to come from .
"Yu, Yu! I need help! Please someone help us!" Hwitaek yelled out while grabbing onto Dalyu's hand. "Yu, you can't leave me. Please." Kentaro could hear the boy say as he stood over them. He watched as the blood slowly stopped as he could see her breathing start to form again.
Kentaro bent down next to Hwitaek. "Don't you think that it is their fault for your precious yu to die in your arms? those guardians. Those people that put her in danger. The school, the things that they taught her. her life means nothing to yours. this will happen again unless she is by your side protected by the council. You do not want to admit it but it is true." Kentaro pressed his hand on top of hwitaek's as he changed his dream. Kentaro backed up as he found himself in Hwitaek's room as Dalyu was laying beside Hwitaek. Kentaro waved his hand as he unwrapped the string from his wrist as he jolted forward just looking at Hyojin.
"What happened?" Hyojin asked him
"I implented some messages in his brain." Kentaro said as he looked at her. "hopefully they will stick." Kentaro looked at her as he rubbed his forehead.
"well what did you see?" Hyojin asked
"I am not too sure. Plus I never talk about the dreams I walk in on. You know that not get out so I can sleep this off." Kentaro said as he looked at her.
"Fine, this better have worked." Hyojin said as she got up just walking out of his room.
•••
Hwitaek rolled over just waking himself up as he rubbed his eyes. HE looked at the ceiling as he looked around just seeing himself the only in the room. HE sighed as he couldn't believe himself in what he just dreamed. He sat up just thinking about that voice inside his dream. Maybe it was right, but he wasn't sure that he was okay with staying here. He sighed as he didn't understand why that could happened unless. He got up as he swung open his door as Mingxi was walking down the hall. "You!" He pointed at her as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"What? Have a nightmare?" SHe asked
"Did you make Kentaro dream walk me?!" Hwitaek asked
"No, i didn't. HE was suppose to dream walk someone else." Mingxi said
"Stay out of Dalyu's dreams or I'll end you, Mingxi." Hwitaek said
"if you end me then they will kill her. or worse. Aren't you having a hard time without her around?" Mingxi asked "all that use of your mind control and no one to stablize you." She said as she looked at him.
"I am fine. Leave her alone." Hwitaek said as he glared at her
"Oh I am sure that you are. I have a proposal for you if you are interested. Just come and talk to me if you want to know about it." Mingxi said
"I don't. I don't ever want to help you, ." Hwitaek walked back in his room just slamming the door shut.
Mingxi opened up kentaro's room door as she smacked it shut as she marched over to his side just smacking his hip area. "The boy figured out you dreamed walked him, or he thinks so! I told you the girl!" Mingxi watched him roll over.
"Look, dream walking is ing hard. I need some more time to connect with dalyu. I implented some messages in his head. Calm down, he won't every really know it was me. Now get out so I can get some sleep or I might just attack you in your sleep." Kentaro said as he watched her leave.
•••
Jiyong finished packing up the snacks that he had baked and made with REnjun as they sneaked past the others in the den just walking out of the pack house with Renjun just hurrying to the boy's dorm just going up to the floor where they were meeting just seeing some of the others there just setting up drinks and other snacks. He walked over his box just seeing Yewon setting up a game system to the tv. "I made cookies, a cake, and some cupcakes." He placed the boxes on the table as he looked at everyone.
"Yejin is hiding out in my room. Goongmin hasn't left yet." Yewon said
"When we left he was in the pack house making bets wtih Joongi about who was going to win." Renjun said
"I'll go get her." Yewon said as he walked off just bringing back Yejin as she went straight for the snacks. "Do not eat so much pig, those are for everyone." HE added as he looked at them. "So I made a list on who can play when and stuff - you know taking turns." Yewon said as he held up a sheet of paper.
"You are such a dweeb." Yejin said as she sat down on the couch. "Come on, fire up this thing and lets get to playing." She said as she looked at the group of guys.
"Don't leave us out." Suhyo walked up with Mina, Ryunosuke, and a few of the others. "We heard you guys saying that Goongmin would be gone so we hid out in different rooms." She said as she held up Ryunosuke's arm as he had a few games as well.
"This will mess up my list." Yewon said
"Oh forget the list, Won. Lets just have some fun while Goongmin gets faced and won't bother us." Jiyong said as he looked at the guy just taking his list and crumpling it up. He handed the five remotes around just letting Renjun got before him as he powered up mario party. "It is the best game we have right now for big groups of people." Jiyong said as he slumpped down in a spot next to Yewon.
"WE brought some board games to for people waiting." Mina said as she was carrying a few as some split off into groups to play.
A few hours later of playing Yewon peered around the corner as Sota was carrying around a clipboard just rubbing his eyes as he was coming down the stairs. "OKay, we got to get the girls out of here. Who is coming with me?" He asked
"We'll go." Jihyun grabbed Jisoo's arm.
"Us too." Renjun looked Jiyong. "THis was your idea, well to let the girls come." He said
"Fine." Jiyong handed the conroller to someone else as he followed them. "We should take them out the back stairs." Jiyong said as he pushed out the group out the back way. They made their way down the stairs as he peered around the corner as he motion for them to go out the door. He followed them as he watched around as he was guiding the group in the back as Jisoo was in the front. They made it to the girl's dorm just as JIsoo opened the door as the girls hurried in just getting in the elevator as Renjun was talking to both Joohyun and Hyosung coming form the staff apartments probably to do bed checks.
"REally, I have to show you something! It is really cool." Renjun said as Joohyun twisted his arm around his back. "owww, noona!" He cried
"Is it your friends breaking into the girl's dorm?" Joohyun asked as she glared at the other four as Jisoo was coming out of the loby. "Looks you all just got dentention, and this is me being nice." Joohyun snapped her fingers as she let go of REnjun.
"You five squat down and put your arms up while I go get sota." Hyosung marched off as she walked to the boys dorm just bringing back Sota with her.
"Thanks for finding them. Come on you five." Sota said as he started to walk about. "I know about game night, but you five only got caught so you guys have to run with Sooyun tomorrow morning." Sota said as he glared at them.
"Yeah, sorry Hyung." Yewon said
"Next time don't get caught." Sota answered as he walked into the dorm with them. He walked each one to their dorm room as He walked back to his post just sitting back down as he was working on his lesson plans.
•••
After their dentention, the boys filled into thier dorms for sleep only to be woken up again later for school. Yewon walked out of his dorm building just glaring at Yejin. "don't talk to me, I am tired." He slung his backpack over his shoulders.
"Yeah, because someof you relied on Renjun to distract both Joohyun and Hyosung. You should have sent heart breaker Jisoo over there and Jihyun." Yejin said as she looked at them.
"Thanks for helping up us get out of there though." LUna walked past as she made eye contact with JIhyun as she froze in place as everyone else kept walking as she rubbed her eyes just hurrying along.
"Is she okay?" Renjun asked as LUna darted past them.
"Yeah probably. She has always been a little odd like that." Jiyong crossed his arms as he shared a glance with the twins.
"It is nothing." Yejin said with a nod.
"You guys better get a move on or you'll be late." Namie walked by carrying some books in her hands. "and remember we have church tonight." SHe added as Church was a huge thing in their culture as many of wolves whinced.
"You guys it if important that you learn about why we go to it to begin with. St. Valdmir created our type of schools and it is has saved many of us." Jihyun spoke "I do not like it either, but it is the only thing I actually am okay with doing as a royal. It is the same thing when you guys have bonfires. Church is our bonfire." Jihyun said
"It is a way in our world keeps themselves sane from wanting to be turned into strigoi or help broken people away from that life." Jisoo added as some SUV's rolled up as two tall European males stepped out both having guardians around them.
"Whoa, look at Gucci brought in." Yejin said as she looked at them
"I bet their are Royal." Jihyun shook his head. "From court or some ." He added as they kept walking.
They walked into class as Sunmi was preparing blank sheets of paper on their desks. "Do not look at the peice of paper until I say so." Sunmi said as she looked at them as they took their seats. Sunmi looked up as one of the male from earlier walked in with Dalyu as she patted his shoulder saying something in a foregin language most of them do not know. "Alright, just take a seat in the back." Sunmi spoke in that language as she pointed to seat in the back near Jihyun and Jisoo that was empty.
"Thank you." Luka spoke as he stirded to the back in accented Korean. Luka sat down just leaning back in his chair. He looked at all the faces looking at him as he winked. "Hello?" He questioned again his broken accented Korean.
"Most of them understand English." Sunmi spoke, glancing in Luka's direction.
"ah, alright. Thank you." Luka responded as he leaned on his elbow. "Most of you are seniors then." He said as many of them nodded.
"Yes, that is correct. We call it third year though." JIyeon responded in English.
"So you all know Dalyu?" He asked
"Yeah, she is our combat teacher." Jihyun said "Who are you?" He added
Luka chuckled as he leaned back in his chair just placing his arms behind his head. He blinked at the kids. "I'm Luka. ONe of Dalyu's friends from Russia." He said
"So you're a moroi?" Jihyun asked
They watched Luka nodded as he kicked his legs up on the desk. "Yeah, I control fire no be deal." He shurgged "I didn't learn to fight like you kids - I prefer getting drunk and girls." Luka bluntly stated
"It is sad to see that being his goal in life with all that handsome going on." Yejin shook her head "yboy right there." She added as she laid her head down.
"Don't say that! He could be royal." Yewon hissed at his sister
"Pretty sure he's not." Jiyong replied back
"He's not, I would know." Suhyo looked at them
"Why is he even here?" Luna mumbled
"Why are you here?" Jihyun asked
"Ah, yes. My family is looking for some new dhampirs and they are looking at around at places. my dad wanted to see Dalyu wanted a better paying job." Luka nodded
"The er wants to steal Dalyu-noona from us." Jihyun said as he looked at the others.
"Seriously?!" REjun snapped "Oh my gosh, no way - no how. That would be terrible!" Renjun rambled
"Aish, calm down." Yejin looked at REnjun as she turned to Luka. She pushed down Yewon just leaning on his back as she stretched over Jisoo's desk. "Hey boy, you can't have her so go over st. vlads." Yejin spoke in a slight accented English.
"Yejin!" Yewon hissed
Luka raised an eyebrow as he smirked. "Do you really want to play with me? Try and stop me." Luka bared his fangs much long than most of the moroi here.
Yejin just simply reached out and socked Luka in the face - as hard as she could just hearing a crack. "Yeah, i'll play!" She snapped back as JIyong howled, high fiving her.
"You two that is not something to high five over!" Yewon pushed his sister off of him. "I am so sorry!" Yewon glared at Yejin
"Hell, I am not. He can't provoke me not expect anything to happen. Plus he can't have dalyu. YOu see Yuxi ge around her." Yejin looked at Yewon.
", broke my nose!" LUka snarled in Russian as he stood up as sunmi had exited the room.
"I didn't break it probably. I just popped some blood vessels. It is probably a nast bruise." Yejin shurgged her shoulders as Sunmi was coming back in with some books.
"What happened?!" Sunmi snapped as everyone covered their ears with their hands and laid thier heads down to not let Sunmi read their minds easily.
"that one punched me!" Luka pointed at Yejin
"No, it was me. We all know it was me." Jiyong put up his hands. "I'll go see Yuxi." He stood up as he grabbed his bag
"Jiyong, you'll take him to in the infirmary as well." Sunmi glared at him.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on, boy. I mean Luka." Jiyong said as the rest of the class laughed as he waited for Luka to follow him. Jiyong walked him to the infirmary just poking his head to see Sanghyuk in there. "Hey hyung, pretty boy got hit by my fist." Jiyong walked off as he knew that Yuxi right now would be in the pack house. He walked over to the pack house just knocking on Yuxi's office door.
"Come in." Yuxi said
"Hey. I punched the russian guy." Jiyong walked in just sitting down just slinging his bag to the floor. "Granted he threated us and told us he was going to steal Dalyu-noona." He added
"So then you just punched him?" Yuxi crossed his arms.
"Yeah.." Jiyong looked at him "I think he said try and stop me by what Jihyun translated." He shrugged.
"Which one did you hit?" Yuxi rubbed his temples
"Luka?" Jiyong questioned "Total douche." He added
"Alright, well. You have morning dentention with Soohyun for a week and you are on shift cabin clean up for a week too. You better hope I don't find out who really hit him." Yuxi said
"But it was me!' Jiyong told him
"Jiyong, I know you. You would have to have someone pull you off of him." Yuxi stood up
"I am getting better." Jiyong stood up just grabbing his bag
"Get back to class before i skin you." Yuxi warned as Jiyong hurried off. Yuxi sighed as he made his way to in the building just walking to the infirmary just seeing Dalyu talking to Luka. "I am sorry about my student." HE said
"He is fine. Bruised is all, plus knowing LUka he probably earned it." Dalyu spoke as she smacked Luka's arm. "Provoking students. Nice." Dalyu looked at him.
"You aren't leaving again?" Yuxi looked at her
"No. Why?" Dalyu asked
"He told them you were because he was giving you a job." Yuxi said "That is why the kids got upset." HE added
"Idiot! I turned it down, you know I won't leave." Dalyu glared at Luka. "You are only Adrian's tag along. He is here to learn about teh council for court." She added as she turned to Yuxi. "I am sorry about him. I thought he could help sunmi teach about strigoi and spirit users since his mother and sister are one." Dalyu glared at the other
"It is not me he should say sorry to." Yuxi said
"I know, he will at the start of combat class." Dalyu said
"Alright, well I have to get back to my own class which is starting soon." Yuxi said as he walked off.
dalyu turned to LUka as she shook her head. "Thanks, now he's worried about me running off." She said
"And that is a bad thing? You should just come back to Russia." Luka said "You don't even like it here." He added
"No, I need to stay. I do like it here. I have made some good friends and the kids need me to teach them. Plus nevermind." Dalyu shook her head
"What? Tell me." Luka held the rag to his nose.
"Because Hwitaek is close by." Dalyu rubbed her face.
"Oh." Luka answered "isn't he an enemy?" He added
"Yes, but it si complicated. Don't tell anyone." She said
"Who knows?" Luka asked
"Just you and Yuxi. He was the guy from earlier." She sighed.
"YOu mean the is guy that took you before that is him?" Luka asked as she nodded. "You know there are laws that the coucnil can't force Hwitaek to stay if the court knows about his bond. The council has that law too. You're protected. Queen Vasillia made the law a few months into her reign." Luka said
"Yes but that only is affective if the documention was made at the start of the bond." Dalyu said "Hwitaek is the only one protected." She sighed
"Neither of your parents documented the bond!?" Luka snapped as he whinced.
"My mother thought it would ruin her chances of ever getting into high court which she died before even trying." Dalyu said
"That is bull. I can talk to Rose and -" HE started
"No, do not do that. OUr Court is different. Do not bring your court in my life, Lu. They will not understand. We might live under the same world - but our culture is different even if we share it. Asia is different." Dalyu said
"That is why you and Hwitaek need to defect to Europe." Luka sighed "Queen Vasilia can help." HE added
"I can't. I am sorry." Dalyu looked at him
"No, you won't. There's a difference." Luka looked at her "I love you, you're part of my family. I just want to see you happy and safe." Luka hugged her side. "That deal I offered that night still stands." Luka whispered.
"I know. I told you then no, and right now is still a no. I am okay." Dalyu patted his head. "I have to get to the feild to set up combat class and you have a whole group of kids to say sorry to." Dalyu pulled away from him as she motioned for him to follow.
