Coven
The Night and the FaeDays passed and Dahyun had not spoken more than a handful of words to Momo or Sana. Even if they sat with her in class, the most they’d get out of her would be a “yes” or “good” in response to their questions. She was surprisingly quick to leave class making no secret about wanting to avoid talking to them. Momo had seen her talking to Irene and her friends. For longer than ten seconds too. Mina had also been able to talk to her, but the Dahyun hadn't said much of note. She also didn't smile much and if she did, it was false.
“I was so dumb,” Sana groaned. It had been a week after she'd 'checked out' Dahyun’s ears.

“That was Momo.”
“You let us join you, so I count that as a win,” she retorted.
Nayeon just smiled. She didn’t have to say it, but Momo knew she would have said that it was. Their coven was a close as a family, if not closer. It was a goal that Nayeon and Jihyo had pursued since the day they were first turned, having lacked it in their first coven. It was one that didn’t value human life any more than humans did cattle. They hated it. After escaping that coven, they ran, finding Jeongyeon when she most needed them and turning her. After that, Tzuyu came along. She was a runaway vampire from the place that was now called Taiwan and she found her home with the girls. Chaeyoung was a witch before, but after coming into conflict with werewolves she’d tried to save from the l
