Chapter Nine First Explanations

 

 

I wanted answers.

Not just from Myungsoo, who had so far comforted me and helped me into a taxi back to his apartment to get cleaned up, but also from Dara, who was hovering around me as I walked in, looking every bit the guilty best friend. I wasn't sure how to feel. Scared? Worried? Betrayed? My emotions hadn't seemed to have caught up with the events, so instead of feeling how I knew I should, all I could concentrate on was feeling safe. And with Myungsoo's arm supporting my waist, I felt more than safe. I felt protected. Which, considering what I now knew about him was absurd.

Clearly I'd hit my head harder than I thought. 

"Oh Hana." Dara whispered, approaching me carefully after Myungsoo had helped me onto their sofa. "I'm so sorry." 

I smiled, though it hurt to do so. Lifting my hand to my face I touched my lips gently and cringed at the sting it caused. 

"Do I look awful?" I asked lightly. 

She shook her head, her eyes full of tears, but it was Myungsoo who answered.

"You don't look half as bad as you could. What were you thinking, meeting her alone like that? She could have killed you." 

It seemed his kind, gentle attitude had ended the moment he had dumped me on the sofa. Back was the harsh, cold Myungsoo I had come to know.

"She's your friend." I reminded him. "I didn't realise your warning extended to both your enemies and your friends!"

"It extends to everyone!" He shouted, glaring at me from across the room. "I told you not to get involved with us and you didn't listen!"

"Maybe next time you can be a little more specific with your warnings. Maybe if you had said; 'Don't go near my friends, they're demons' I would have known to avoid her!" 

"Don't do this now." Dara begged him, coming to sit beside me. "She's hurt!"

"I can see that." He growled, running his hands through his hair. 

"I need answers." I implored Dara. "I need to know what exactly is going on."

"I told you. We're demons." Myungsoo reminded me like I was stupid.

"Yes, I remember that part, but I mean... What do you guys do?"

"We're students?" I gritted my teeth, becoming frustrated with his sarcastic attitude.

"Do you have any powers? Do you have horns... Or tails? Breathe fire? Drink the blood of s? Steal people's souls?"

Myungsoo began to laugh at my questions and I shot him a glare.

"We're stronger than Humans." Dara answered. "And we have better reflexes and reactions. Our minds hold more memory and we have horns when we get angry enough, though no tail. Oh, and we move super fast... But no, no breathing fire and stealing souls." 

"Fast enough so you appear like a blur?" I clarified. Dara nodded. "So that's what I saw when Yoona vanished..." I muttered.

"That was me, saving your sorry behind." Myungsoo grumbled. 

"Anything else?" I asked curiously.

"What, isn't all that enough?" Myungsoo scoffed.

I chose to ignore him. 

"We're part wolf." Dara coughed, looking nervously as my reaction. 

"Werewolves?" I frowned. "I thought you said you were demons?"

"What Humans think of as werewolves are actually a type of demon." Myungsoo clarified, sounding bored. "We're not called werewolves. We're called Hound Demons." 

"Can you turn into wolves whenever you want?" 

"Not all of us can." Dara smiled. "Myungsoo can, because he's super powerful, and I can, but I don't have great control over it... I can only do it when I'm feeling extreme emotions. Others can only when the moons at its most powerful, or when it's coming up to being full." 

"Wow..." I whistled, taking it all in. "Then Yoona, can she transform?" Dara shook her head.

"No, and neither can JiYong. There's only a few who can."

"And he's one of them?" I glanced towards Myungsoo, who smirked smugly at me. I huffed. As if he needed anything else to inflate his giant ego. "If Yoona attacked me, does that mean I'm gonna change into one of you guys?" I asked worriedly.

"Hounds can't be made. We're born." Dara assured me.. 

I nodded, and recalled something YoonAahad said.

"Yoona... She implied something was going on between me and that , something about my smell or something." I pointed towards Myungsoo. "Why would she even think that?"

"Because-"

"Don't you dare." He warned her, cutting her off. 

Dara stood up and balled her hands into fists, her expression furious.

"She has a right to know, Oppa! After everything she's been through, after what we did-"

"What you did?" I looked between them both. "What did you do?"

Silence followed my answer as Myungsoo stared Dara down before turning his blazing eyes on me. I flinched under his accusing expression.

"I healed you." He spat, his voice laced with

Chapter 36: I came for the Daragon and I stayed, hoping for more Daragon and because this story has got me hooked. I have always been a er for supernatural stories so this was no exception.

Personally I don't know who Hana or Myungsoo or most of the characters in this story but it didn't stop me from enjoying it nevertheless. I like Myungsoo because he comes off as the typical male protagonist. Handsome, mysterious, with the hero complex who only shows his soft/teasing side to family and the girl he cares for. Hana is okay for me as a heroine. Nothing against her but I just like my female protagonist more bad- and less reckless than Hana is in this fic. Kudos to you though, Miss Author, because you have been writing her character quite consistently.

I'm looking forward to the next chapters and how you're gonna handle this newest conflict. I so want to know what favor will Moonsoo ask and what is his agenda. It seems like his hatred for Sandara still exists and I'm so excited for that to be tackled. I think though when Moonsoo and Sandara finally come head-to-head, Sandara can hold her own and maybe find the ability to use her "demon hound" to the fullest.

I hope you find the inspiration to make a Daragon story in this universe because it looks like Sandara's feelings for Jiyong isn't as unrequited as she thought. I think theirs an excellent story to tell especially if Sandara is set to be married off to a more powerful demon but Jiyong is willing to fight for her. Plus, I would like to see Myungsoo's reaction when he finds out his best friend have the hots for his sister! LOL

Chapter 36: I feel like everytime you post a new chapater after a long time I'm out somewhere and end up causing some kind of a scene. This time around I was at my best friends graduation party and I checked AFF and saw you updated and once again, squealed at the top of my lungs. I may or may not have jumped up and down like a happy child as well and did a little happy dance. I'm happy you're back even if it's a temporary thing. Moving and can be incredibly stressful, and to me, there is nothing more stressful than a broken laptop. I feel your pain (I recently spilled green tea all over my keyboard).

Anyway moving past my embarassing moment of pure blissful happiness. I've missed this story so much and as usual you've delivered another incredible update. I swear poor Hana can't seem to catch a bloody break. I hope all goes well for her, I'm sure her having to be killed by that sword has something to do with breaking the bond. I don't want the bond to break TAT I love Hansoo (my little ship name for themxD). It excites me and saddens me to know that this story will be finished pretty soon. It is still my absolute favorite. I can't wait for you to update again and I hope all goes well for you with moving and your laptop.:D Again thank you for the epic update.
