Summary : Your friend invited you to party on Halloween you were especially excited to go, but she begged you anyways.

“tlahuelpuchi”

You were invited to a party by your friend yuri, you and yuri have known each other for a couple of years as a 3rd year in college now she was a 4th year.

“Everyone’s going you should too.” Yuri stated

“You don’t even like parties-the amount of times I’ve asked you to go and you would always say “I don’t like parties or I have studying to do”” you mocked her.

“Yeah but apparently it supposed to be a big party plus in a castle all the way across town, plus the park brothers are hosting it.” She stated she aways did have a thing for jay.

“Uhhh I don’t know, don’t you have to be invited to these things?” You said walking back to your car.

“Yeah but I got one so we should go” she glammed holding up the black and red decorated envelope.

“Uhhh I think it’s per invite…” you throw it off as you saw a similar envelope with your name on it on your car window.

“Strange…” you whispered looking around to how could have put it on your car. But no one was around.

“OH My GOSH, you got one too.” Yuri screamed taking the envelope from your hand.

Reading the letter in side.

“ you are cordially invited, to the gala at the park manor. To celebrate Samhain.”

Attire elegant time midnight

Attendance mandatory “

“Who do you think they are that they can make attendance mandatory “ you rolled your eyes at the letter something didn’t seem right when you touched it.

“Well Duh they are The Park Brothers they know exactly who they think they are.” She giggled getting in the car.

You looked around once more as the autumn wind blew pass you, freezing the tip of your nose as you closed your eyes still not seeing anyone.

Driving back to the dorm as you dropped yuri off and going back to your dorm.

As the party date approaches you where drowned in school and finishing up mid terms you didn’t think you were going to go. “Hey, Y/n” “What time are you going to the gala.” Yuri texted you.

“I’m not” you responded as you put your phone down and went to the shower.

Hearing your phone buzz on the counter taking down your hair as it fell to your back. Rolling you neck back to losen up a bit while you get into the shower.”

Taking a deep breath in and out,

“Why does school have to be so stressful” you said talking to yourself groaning out loud as you started washing your hair

“I’m so glad it’s over” turning around as you thrown your hair back to wash the soap out. Closing your eyes once more.

“Y/n” you heard murmuring.

“Y/nnn~” you heard once more this time elongated.

You opened your eyes just to see no one. Thinking it was the water as you fished up your shower. Wrapping your self in a towel as you picked you phone up and walked to your bedroom. 9:45 you seen on the clock glowing a bright red. Seating on the bed going thought your notification,

“30 missed calls from yuri, she must really want to go” you said out loud.

“Maybe I should call her ba-“ being cut off by the door bell.

You got up to answer it. Hearing the repeated banging.

“Dang okay,okay” you yelled at the door.

“Y/n get dressed you promised you were going to go with me” yuri cried

You looked at the girl in front of you as you eyed her up and down.

“Woah,I love your dress”you said looking her up and down again.

“Plus I didn’t say I would got it’s the 31, I want to stay in a watch cheesy horror flims and eat junk all night” you cried.

“You can do it tomorrow, we have to go, I NEED to see Jay.” She said as she jumped up and down.

“Ugh but I don’t want to.” You cried out,

“You know Y/n I really hoped that I would never had to pull this card but, remember that one time in 6th grade was you peed your pants and you needed pants for a replacement, now it’s that time you pay me back” she said proudly, hurling it out before you can say anything about it.

“Oh my gosh…. Are you for real, you said you would NEVER bring that up again. fine whatever” you got embarrassed because why would she bring that you…

“I’ll need about an hour plus I don’t have any fancy dresses.” You said

“I brought some over, just worry about your make up I got the dresses, just make the theme black or red” she said. Running to her car

“Okay, okay” you walked to the restroom

~~~~~~~~~

“Are you ready? Yet- woah” she stoped walking in the restroom

“Yeah just finishing up” as you pulled up the dress to be insecure spraying on your favorite fragrance.

“Ready?” You asked walking out.

“Yeah the limbo should be here soon” she read on her phone

“A limbo? Oh no, I’m not going across town if I can’t drive there”

Putting your rosary on your hand and fingering

“They said they didn’t want anyone driving because of parking space so they bought them out.” She proclaimed noticing your moment

“Girl that does not go with your dress” she said

“What, I literally always wear it” you stated looking around, and putting on your keys down

“Here wear this instead” she passed a dangling bracelet as she tried to take it off.

“Woah, I won’t wear it but I’m bring it with me” putting your arm up and removing putting it in the top part of you dress.

“The limbo here” she jumped up and down happily, grabbing your hand and rushing out

“Wait I have to grab-“ “no time it’s here” running out with heels in hand.

“Woah this is huge” yuri said looking at the manor

You turned your head

“It’s kinda scary looking” you mumbled looking at as you pulled in

“Oh here Y/n” she handed you her shoes

“Yuri….” You said

“Hmmm” she hummed looking at you

“These a heels….”

“Yeah”

“Like 6 inch heels” you said looking at her

“Yeah.. they are actually 5.6” she laughed

“I can’t wear these” you looked at her in shock

“Oh yes you can plus, you don’t have any other shoes that you can wear so those will have to do.” She laughed

“I’ve been set up” you cried out

“It’s not everyday I see you in heels and dresses, just for tonight” you gave in, as she said smiling at you..

Putting them on..

“These are going to kill my feet.” You thought sighing out loud as the car stopped

Walking in side it’s like everyone stopped and looked at you and yuri as you walked in. How a curious manor you thought.

“Why is everyone staring, you whispered turning your head to look at yuri, who is no where to be found as you turned around.

“Here you are miss, right this way.” Has he handed you an eye mask as he lead you down the hall under the walkway.

As you looked up noticing 7 guys drinking glaring at you as you walked through.

“ here we are ma’am” showing you the appetizers and beverages

“Oh Thank you” as you turned around

“Do you know- ….. what this is” you turned back around looking for the guy but he was no where to be seen

“It’s Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon 1846” the blonde hair guy stated as you turned around to look at him

“Woah, sorry you startled me” placing your hand over your chest leaning against the counter

“Oh my apologies” he bowed taking your hand from your chest gently moving it toward him as he kissed it.

“Oh you’re fine” you said apologetic looking down at him.

He looked uncomfortable

“Are you okay?” You questioned

“Yeah if you will excuse me for one moment, I’m Heeseung lee, I’ll see you around, maybe” he said walking out disappearing into the hallway he seemed as if he was holding his breath,

“Do I stink?” You question as you were raising your arms up

“You smell great.” you felt a presence on the back of your neck, giving you goosebumps,

“Oh um thanks” immediately putting your arms down

“Oh Jungwon, I didn’t know you would be here” you said as you seen him could from the corner of your eyes, taking a step back, he always gave you a weird vibe, you became nervous

“I didn’t know you would be here either, what bring you here” he smirked tilting his head to the side

“Oh, umm, Yuri wanted to come so i came with her. But now I cant find her actually, have you seen her?” You asked being out a fake laugh.

“Oh I’ve seen her in the ball room with the others” he moved, we should head over there he grabbed your wrist but immediately took his hand back, like it hurt.

“Oh my apologies I shouldn’t have grabbed you like that, may i?” He questioned as he turned and put out his arm.

“Yeah, that’s fine.” You said hesitantly lacing your arm with his as he lead you to the other room.

You and Jungwon had the same calculus and physics class. Seeing him here you were kinda surprised. Even under the mask you could tell it was him, from his eyes to his face shape.

“So jungwon what are you doing here” you turned and looked at him while you were walking

“How did you guess it was me,Y/n” he smiled

“we have the same classes jungwon” you said returning your glazed to look ahead of you.

“I’ve never thought you noticed me” he muttered under his breath

“What did you say” you asked turning you head about at him smiling

“Oh just thinking out loud”

This event is not at all what you had in mind. Pearls catch faint golden light, music is soft and serene, and smoke spirals in the air. But every look seems to be directed at you and you alone, as though you were the center of gravity of the evening. As if they could see right through you.

“My lady”

Jungwon put down his arm and dipped and walked away disappearing into the crowd of people.

As you looked around, you caught eyes with heeseung as he stared at you.

“What’s his deal” you thought

As he approached you, you panicked sort of in the moment and just stayed standing.

As you felt a pair of hands on your arm making to slightly jumped as you immediately looked to see who it was.

“My I have this dance” the stranger asked taking you hand leading you the center of the ballroom, you were nervous, your never danced before, well atleast ballroom dancing.

“Just follow my lead” he leaned in a whispered,

You hesitate as you nodded, he was really close his cologne, masking your perfume, he’s presences engulfing you as you waltz together.

“Who-um, who are you?” You stumbled over your words, which was usually for you, you looked down flushed.

“Y/n you don’t know who am?” He looked down at you

“Jay?..” you trailed off, moving your head up looking into his eyes, you didn’t know he known you at all, all the things you’ve heard were form yuri.

“Ohhh, oh.” Your face dropped as you realized, slowly pulling out of his hands, so hopefully yuri didn’t notice.

The only issue was Jay was faster and hold you closer than before, body’s pressed on one another.

“Where are you going?” He raised his eyebrow,

“Oh I remember I have to find my friend” you gave a fake smile, trying your best not to make a seen.

“Oh, Yuri, right? Oh don’t worry I was told she was with Jake.” He said as he looked down at you.

You raised an eyebrow at his statement

I can’t be with Jake? Who’s Jake? Thinking back if you’ve know him or not

“I should really get going “ you said as you pulled out once more on stubbing back on your dress and almost falling, throwing your head back.

Your heart dropped. “Yuri..” you mumbled putting you head back up almost immediately colliding with jays

Making Jay catch you, making it seem like it was party of your dance, then suddenly he kissed you…

The kiss was draining, but soft, your heart was racing now.

He’s face wencing as you thrown your arms around his neck. It started to turn red, turning his body towards Yuri to shed you from her line of vision. If she didn’t see me then she definitely seen me now you sighed letting a long breath out.

“I’m so sorry, Thank you” you apologized

You’ve seen yuri running out, chasing after her, speed walking through the crowd of people.

“Yuri-“ you called out but she keep going.

Suddened you ran into someone as you were following her.

They stepped infront of you from leaving the room.

“Y/n right?” He said a tall figure in front of you,

“Yes?” You backed up.. confused

“Where are you running off too, we have someone waiting for you ” he asked,

“I’m trying to find my friend.” You stated trying to move around him but failing.

“Excuse me” you were being to become irritated

“go” you heard but his mouth not moving

You heard it in your head, as it was your voice telling you to go with him,

You felt something was wrong and wanted to back out then yuri flashed in your mind,

Running pass heeseung following yuri, he flinched at your movement.

No one’s pov.

“Wow heeseung no one’s ever caught your mind control before.” The pale guy chuckled

“Yeah, what ever” he rolled his eyes

“There’s something about her, I can’t really get into her” he stated

“Well using her was bait worked out” the pale hair guy stated. As they walked after you.

“Well let’s get this over with, I hate chasing people.” Jake proclaimed

“ I’ve been thirsty all night can we hurry this up”

The next guy stated

“What makes you think you are getting first bids” jungwon looked at him with disgusted

“Well she likes me more than you. Plus you can’t touch her without burning, we have to figure what she has on her first before anyone gets anything from her. She protected we just need to know by what so sunoo can remove it” Jay stated.

“Why me? Have Jungwon or Niki do it” Sunoo protest.

“Because they don’t have powers like you” Jay stated

“Wow I can float, what special about that” Sunoo rolled his eyes

“Fine Niki will do it” Jake said

As they started bricking about who would do what Y/n traveled deeper into the manor.

“YURI, YURI” you yelled with no response

“Maybe it wasn’t here” you ended up at a garden with a wooden bench, with a look of the city and the moon brightly above.

You paused taking a deep breath

“It’s hard walking in heels” you sighed taking out your phone

“for a huge house, there’s no service here” you mumbled. Trying to call yuri,

“You’ve reached Yuri, you know what to do” her phone going straight to voicemails.

“I’ve called you like a thousand times now , where are you.” You said into the phone

“Yuri?” You seen a figure run by as you chased after

“Yuri, wait up.” Finally catching up she was squatting over flowers admiring them.

“ where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” You breathed out reaching out to touch your shoulder.

But as she turned her head, you realize she had no face. It was a black hole.

“What the-“ as you felt a pair of hands on your eyes.

Immediately throwing your head back to see who it was. But only getting drawn in closer against the hard surface.

Elbowing him and the stomach as he removed his hands, you took that as a sign to run through another opening. Not looking back. Taking out your phone again texting yuri.

“Yuri. WHERE ARE YOU”

“I’ve being chased, and I can’t find you.”

“ I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Where are you?” You sent multiple messages

As you’ve seen the speech bubbles pop up and disappear and reappear.

“Girl, what are you talking about? I’ve been inside the whole time. Where are you at?” Her response making you stop dead in your tracks

“WHAT” you texted back.

“Oh Y/n, you’re here” making you turn around

“Oh jungwon, what are you doing out here?” You question taking a step back.

“ oh I just got tired of the loud atmosphere. I just wanted to be somewhere quiet.” he smirked.

“ oh sorry I didn’t know anyone was gonna be back out here. I’m actually about to head back in.” as you try to keep distance and walk around him.

“ oh me too I ’ll take you to here, as he grabbed your hand” immediately pulling your arm.

“Um okay..” some thing wasn’t right but you thought being with someone is better then being with no one right?

You were found your self in the familiar garden,

“ woah, she got you pretty good huh,” you here someone say laughing

“Ugh, shut up.” Someone else said yelling “I told you she was a fighter” I heard. That’s 3 different voices. Realizing that this isn’t the way back to the ballroom.

“Jungwon where are we going.” You looked at him.

“Back to the ballroom” he smiled again

“I don’t think this is the way” you stoped dead in your tracks

“Oops you caught me, he’s eyes flashing a crimson red.

You heard a voice in your head, ringing as you fell to your knees. The voice telling you to give in.

“tlahuelpuchi” you said in you naciste tongue, “your a”

You couldn’t get the words out. You’ve only heard legends nothing in stone, never seen in person before.

But for him to be In front of you now. You booked it running to the other side as you tripped over your dress.

“Ugh I know I shouldn’t have worn these shoes” taking them off, getting up and running again

Bumping into a larger hard figure hits it hard.

The same figure before.

“Oof” the sound you made as it stopped you. His red being the same color red.

Reaching in your dress trying to find your rosary.

Oh my gosh, where could it be. You panic

“Where is it” you yelled panicking even more the guy picked you off the ground.

“I most have fell out when I fell.”

You dropped to your knees again

“ Pater noster, qui es in cœlis; sanctificatur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum; fiat voluntas tua, sicut in cœlo, et in terra.” As you looked up not seeing him or any one anymore as you turned around

“Urg, are you done yet?” The guy yawned

Immediately started the next part of your prayer

“Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie”

“Et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris”

Hearing that made you stop in your tracks

“What” you said looking up your eyes widen

Jake grabbing you by your chin pulling your face closer to him, as he wiped the single tear off your face. You were in shock and disbelief

“et ne nos inducas in tentationem: sed libera nos a mal”

You whispered

“How could you…how could you possibly say that” - you questioned

“Long ago the man who stole my father’s land forced these words upon us too.” Jake stated taking his hands off your chin moving back.

You ultimately surrounded.

“Were you looking for this” you heard making you turn around

It dangling in the air. Was your rosary. Your eyes widen about to grab it, it ignited into flames.

“No.” “No. That was my last piece that I had of her, why, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT” you yelled it was your grandmothers.

“You monster”- you heard giggling behind you he said in a mocking tone. “Yeah,yeah we get that a lot.” Jungwon stated in a mocking tone.

“Well with that out the way” he said making his way to you.

You felt a pair of hand pulling you up by your hands and holding you up from behind.

As Jungwon inspected you.

“ oh you smell really good Y/n” he got awfully close to you face, the your neck,then your chest. As he worked his way down your body to the slit on your dress. Making you step back onto the guy behind You. Looking at your exposed leg.

“Hmm, I wonder how you taste though.” He said coming closer and closer to your inner thigh.

Your breath hitched as you moved it back. The only thing you hits as the tall male behind you holding you so you couldn’t move.

“Hmm you can’t fight it Y/n” he said pulling your leg back toward him making you unbalanced.

You felt his breath on your leg. The exhale of the air in his lungs. As he closer and closer to to your thigh.

“Ugh you smell so good Y/n”he sniffed you again as you a felt sharp pain in your leg. Making you unbalanced as you collapsed. His fangs still in your skin, only being held up by the guy behind you. It felt like something was ripping through you to your leg an intense pain as you cried out.

Closing your eyes. As it slowly washed away you felt light headed.

“Oh my, your even better then I thought. You have to try her guys” making you look up and seeing not but red eyes looking your way. In a daze throwing your head back. In a quick second you felt Niki’s head behind your neck dropping your hands and holding your shoulders. As sunghoon stayed in front of you going for your collarbone. Smelling you first lowering his head closer and closer to your chest. You felt your self holding your breath more.

You couldn’t move, trapped between the 3 guys.

“Please.”

You said faintly, as tears ran down your face, the pain of your collarbone was unbearable, you tried to push his off but with the blood leaving your system it was hard to find strength.

As Niki was in your neck, you couldn’t move, your eyes drawn close and you fell back…
