Chapter One

[Past]

"RUN! EVERYONE RUN!" said one of the people escaping from the building.
But that was not enough to save themselves from their cruel faith.
The Good Forces were destroying everything in the Underworld, without its civilians doing nothing bad.
For them, they had to kill them all because they were possibly dangerous.

So here they were, the last survivors, in small cages, which weakened them much more than Heaven itself.

And with the last strength that was left, they were able to give powers to seven children on Earth, who one day, when they'll be grown up, will become The Destroyers, and will avenge their people.

[Present]

Y/N was a normal girl, or that's what she thought.

Her parents had always loved her, even though they weren't her biological ones.
And she didn't mind, because they really were amazing.

Y/N didn't really have friends, due to the jokes she was victim of at school.

It wasn't physical bullying, it was verbal.
The bullies used to make fun of her for no sense reasons: she was short, and she studied.
Not because she was a nerd or something like that, simply because she wanted to do well at school.

And she wasn't even ugly, yet the bullies kept on repeating her that word, making somehow Y/N, believe it too.

When that first started, she was very sad, because it bothered her.

Now, she preferred to shut her mouth and ignore them.
And their words cut deeply her heart, but she was of the idea that it was better to act like it was the opposite, that she couldn't care less.

Despite all this, she was a very joyful person, with a bright personality, who loved her live.

She always had her nails painted with black polish, she thought black went well with everything.

That night was cold, there was fog in every tiny space of air.
Y/N hid her neck in the fluffy white scarf she was wearing, to protect herself from the freezy breeze.

She was out because her parents were arguing, again.
They never failed in showing her love, even if she wasn't their true daughter, they made it look like she was.
But this couldn't change the fact that the two couldn't stand each other anymore: the fights were always increasing.

It was because of this that she breathed deeply, once her dark boots were facing the ground out of her house.

《¤》

Kim Taehyung was just a boy that loved children and nature.

Whenever the met a child, he would play around with him, making smile widely every grandmother or grandfather that was with the little.

He was very kind, always trying to make others feel better.
K

ind, thanks to his grandmother.
He loved his grandma, who had rised him since he was one year old.

His parents were always abroad for work, they were rarely at home.

And yes, he was a little disappointed everytime they would come home and tell him that they were leaving in barely one week.

Like that was enough.

But there was always his grandma, and thinking about that better, he was good that way.

One day he was going back home from the supermarket where he had bought the groceries his grandmother told him.

Opening the door, the first thing he heard was the loud volume of the TV, and he smiled lightly thinking about his grandma whose hearing wasn't that good.

"Grandma! I'm home!" He shouted closing the door with the shoulder.

She didn't respond, and when he called her the second time receiving the same silence, he started to panic.

Walking in the kitchen and putting down the groceries, he decided to go upstairs in her bedroom.

Probably she was sleeping.

And when he entered the room, he gasped in horror, thinking, or better hoping his eyes were fooling him.

That was not the dead body of his loved grandma.
It. Was. Not.

Taehyung slowly trailed his eyes from the pool of blood on the floor, to desperately search for his phone in his pockets.

While calling, he wondered what could have happened.
Surely she was killed by someone.
He saw all her possessions missing, the whole room a mess.

The thief/thieves killed her, probably not expecting her to be home.

"911? Yes? Please, I want an ambulance right now!"
He hoped he was wrong, and that his grandma could still live.

Yet he knew she sadly could not.

When his parents came back from whatever country they were, after the funeral, Taehyung was very surprised they had the courage to scold him.

Not only had he to bear with that orribile pain in the chest, crying his lungs out from desperation, because his grandmother was everything he had ever had, but he had to listen to his absent parents complaining about him.

"It's your fault she's dead! If you had been at home this wouldn't have happened!" His mother shouted, slapping him on the cheek.

Her son shoved her to the wall violently, in a tantrum.

"How can this be my fault mom?! How could I know this would have happened?!" Taehyung said pissed off, holding his cheek and breathing heavily.

His father started beating him up because of that, and the boy ended up with a sure broken jaw.

His parents left, for well now, he knew.

He was crying in pain on the ground, when suddenly someone knocked at the door.

Slowly, he got up, opening.
He frowned in the exact moment the policeman smiled to him.

"Kim Taehyung, right?"

"Yes, sir. That's me. How can I help you?"

"Umh, I'm sorry to tell you I have to arrest you, for the murder of your grandmo-"

"You have to be kidding me."

"I'm afraid I'm not."

And that was it, one moment he was at home, the next he was in prison.

"How can you suspect me, out of all the people?! I'm her grandson, she was everything I had, for God's sake, how could I have done such a horrible thing?!" He said histerically, rising his voice at every word.

"Mr. Kim, could you please lower your voice?"

"NO! I'M FUCKING INNOCENT!!" He shouted enraged, throwing the table there was in front of him away like it was nothing.

"We'll put you alone in a cell. Let's see if you calm down, kid."

Taehyung clenched his teeth in anger, glaring at the officer.

Some minutes later they escorted him in a dark, small cell.

He didn't know why all this was happening to him.

Just, why.

In that darkness, he could see nothing, except the soft light coming from the window.

Despite all his thoughts, he was enjoying the quietness and the darkness.

But still, he wasn't happy to be there.
Why were they keeping him imprisoned when he didn't do anything?
The thieves were now free to do what they wanted just because the police was on the wrong man.
Like seriously, the victim's grandson?

It made no sense.

And his parents?
Oh.
That thought alone had his anger increase.
His fault? Tz, they were never there.
What the hell did they want?

Not only this, Taehyung was sure they had established permanently somewhere else, even since before the murder.

Now, he was walking angrily in that small room, his footsteps echoing in the empty space.

And he was in prison, when all he had done was nothing.

How unfair was the world.

The silence was making him think again and all over again about his life: his parents, the damn fucking thieves, the situation he was stuck in.

This was angering him every second more.

His right arm didn't stop stinging, so he lifted the slave of his jumper to see what there was, and saw two black circles, intertwined with each other.

He always had thought they were a natural thing, especially because a bunch of minutes before they were a tone paler than his normal one.
Suddenly they started turning bright purple.

And then, the unthinkable happened.

His veins became pitch black, and the same did his skin.
His nails darkened visibly, becoming longer, at the point they were claws.

All his body was on fire, and he held his head in pain.
As he did that, his figure grew taller, bigger and more muscular.
The clothes he was wearing ripped in less than ten seconds.
He then growled in an inhumane way, shutting his eyes closed.

That was because of his anger, but what the hell was he now?
He thought.

His teeth became sharper, turning into really long fangs.
When he opened his eyes, they were completely red, glowing.

Taehyung observed his new form at the mirror, smirking.

Walking near the window that was placed high on the wall, but that now was at his eye level, he put one hand on the railings, destroying them violently.

He broke the window throwing his fist against the frail glass, but there was one problem: with that huge muscular body he found himself in, he surely could not pass that little space.

Aw, but no problem.

He always could break the wall.

He posed one hand on the cold wall, suddenly averting a sense of coldness inside him.

He smiled evilly when frost started forming from his hand, turning quickly into ice.

The ice froze the wall, that broke automatically after a few minutes.

Taehyung was now in the city streets, like he had not just escaped from the prison.

How easy.

He thought.

His two circles were still there, glowing brightpurple.

Ah yeah, what had he become, exactly?
He didn't know, but one thing was sure: he had to find out.

Wait, what was that shadow approaching to him?

《¤》

So, Y/N was walking with her headphones in the ears, that night.

But suddenly, a very loud noise distracted her from the music she was listening to.

So she decided to see what the fuck was so loud that she had been able to hear it, despite her music at the maximum volume.

That alley was dark, very dark.

But she was curious.

"Who's there?" She asked.
Nothing.

"Hey there, I heard you! Come out!" She rised her voice, slowly approaching the middle of the alley.

Again, nothing.

"I'm losing my patience, don't you think I'm stupid! I want to see you!"

Before she could make another step, a sudden animal growl stopped her.

"Don't come closer." Said that inhumane voice, so, so deep that she shook in fear, regretting her stubbornness.

She was not the brave type, definitely.

"I-i..." she stuttered, now unsure of herself.

"If I were you I'd prefer not to see me."

"W-why?"

"Not so confident like before, are you?" Asked the scary voice, amused.

Y/N could swear she was hearing animal growls, but instead, she understood everything the creature was saying.

She was scared, but excited.
She felt like those girls in horror films, now impatient to see the owner of the voice.

"I want to see you." She repeated.

"Don't scream." Said the other.

She could hear the heavy steps, one, two, three, and then, the light allowed her to see him.

She gasped lightly, backing a little, a chuckle escaping from the creature's lips.

"Told you, princess"

"Wo- wow" she finally said.

"What?!" Choked the black creature, surprised.

"At first impact, you scared me. But you know what, this is so cool!" She blurted out excited like a little child.

"Can I touch you?" She asked lifting her hand to touch his face, but stopping a few inches far.

"You're to admire, I have to say this."

"Eh?"

"It's not from everyone you expect all this courage, seeing what I am."

He took her small hand, engulfing it in his giant ones, careful not to hurt her with his claws.
Then he posed it lightly to his cheek.

The same his mom slapped.

She felt warmness, that contact reassured her.

She didn't know why, but she could stay like that for hours.

His presence was comforting.

She blushed, but gained the courage to caress gently his cheek.

His skin was rough, but she liked it.

His red, bright locks closed, relaxed after God knows how much time.

"What are you?" She whispered softly, making him sigh, open his eyes and slowly put her hand by her side.

"I... sincerely... I don't know." He lowered his head.

"How?"

"How what?"

"How did you become like this?"

"How can you know I wasn't always like this?"

"I can tell it. You act too human to be born like a speaking... umh... thing?
And, don't ask me why, but I feel so comfortable with you around.
Like I never felt.
Maybe it's because you are... sweet?"

"...Why?"

"Are you stupid or what?" Laughed the girl.

The creature smiled widely, showing his long fangs, replacing all the teeth.
Y/N returned the smile, thinking he was way too cute, to be that.

"Thank you... But I still feel offended that you called me thing. You know, I have a name." He said crossing his arms, sounding like a little child.

Obviously, his figure and voice were quite the opposite, but still.

"I'm sorry, Mister." Chuckled lightly the girl "Could you please now tell me your name?" She smiled.

"Taehyung. Kim Taehyung."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Taehyung. I'm Y/N." she gave him her hand to shake, which he happily took.

Thank God there was someone decent in this world.

"Y/N." He repeated. He liked the way it rolled on his tongue.
"I like it; the pleasure is mine."

Y/N was now used to that raspy and animal - like voice.
It was soothing, somehow.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Now answer my question. How did you become like this?" She asked carefully, knowing it was a topic he could dislike.

And so that's what he did.

He felt like he could trust her, he couldn't really pinpoint the reason.

She was supportive, she understood him.

And his image didn't bother her.

Him instead, yes.

He had to find out what he was, why he was like that.
For the moment he would call himself monster.

Y/N told him her story, and after that he took her to his house.

It had been hard not to let the other people see the... monster, but they managed to do it.

"Thank you for not leaving me, although you didn't know me until one hour ago." Said Taehyung softly, and Y/N hugged him tightly.

"It's nothing. It will be good to have one friend. You'll be the first, consider yourself important."

"I'll do it." He said hugging her back "But the same is for you. You are my first friend too."

"You're just so cute, do you know that?"

"You are crazy to think that about a monster."

"Arghh, I've already told you it's cool!"

"So... Are you staying the night? I'd walk you home, but... I don't think I can."

"Really, it isn't necessary, I don't want to bother you and-"

"Y/N. Stay."

She blushed lightly, embarassed.

"I... uh, fine."

"Let's go upstairs. I'll show you."

"I guess I'll try to sleep, then. Thank you for everything, Taehyung. Really."

"It's nothing." He smiled.

Then, she kissed him in the cheek.

He shot his eyes open, he was not expecting it.

"Goodnight" she winked at him, closing the door, leaving him speachless.

That girl was definitely something.

The next morning, when Y/N woke up, she heard only silence.

Was Taehyung still sleeping?
She decided to go and see it.

Knock knock.

Nothing.
She slowly opened the door, entering inside the room.

There wasn't anyone.

"Taehyung?"

Tap tap.

She felt one finger touch two times her right shoulder, and she jolted.

A tall, handsome boy was standing in front of her.

"Oh my God!! And who the fuck are you??!"
She panicked, kicking him in the leg.

"Princess. Calm down, it's me. Taehyung."

She rubbed her eyes, as her jaw fell open, and right after she was jumping on him, to hug him.

"Oh God, Y/N. Stop, you're choking me."

She distanced herself from him, smiling.

"Yah! Are you crazy?! You scared me to death you moron!"

"Sorry ehm..."

"However, w- woah... I... wow" she said scanning him up and down.

"Is that the only thing you can say?" He lightly chuckled.

Y/N immediately thought that laughter was such so pure, genuine.

She loved it.

His voice was still deep, even if not as it was before, but it was more soothing, more softer.

She felt like every word that fell off his lips was caressing her, relaxing her.

She laughed, grinning.

"You are so handsome, I don't know what to say more."

Taehyung blushed deeply, smiling after.

Y/N was fascinated by his cute and rectangular smile.

"I was right, you're so cute."

"Uh?"

She hugged him again "Now it's easier to hug you"

"Ahahahahah, really fun."

"Tae. Can we make some research about your... situation?"

"Yeah, I think we should."

"The Destroyers
If you're reading this article, then you're probably one of these guys.
The first to lose his humanity and to have his seal broken: Taehyung, isn't it? "

Taehyung started reading out loud.

"Can you explain me why I can't see the page? I only see a black screen." Complained Y/N.

"Emh, I don't know... maybe they wanted only to those seven things... to read it?"

"Oh. Keep on reading thank you."

The boy clicked on his tongue, scoffing.

"Centuries ago, the Good Forces' people started a war against us, people from the Evil Forces.
We didn't do anything bad, they only did that because we were possibly dangerous.
And if before we weren't evil for real now sure as hell we'll be. The name 'evil forces' came after we were targeted as ones.
But we need your help, that's why we turned you in the night's creatures.
You all have a seal, that kept your powers hidden until now. Once unsealed it will be black, and in the moment you'll be using your powers it will turn purple."

"What the actual fuck-"

"GOD THAT'S SO EXCITING! Why did you stop reading?!"

"Woah woah slow down princess!"

Y/N raised one eyebrow. "Go on."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, returning his eyes to the screen.

"So, here it says there will be one Infernal, which I should be.
I can control ice and fire-"

"Oh my god I want it too!!!"

"Could you stop interrupting me?"

"Sorry."

"I was saying: I have to feed on human flesh. I can eat normal food but it won't satisfy me as... the other.
My eyes will turn one like the cat ones but in a bright lime - green color, and the other blue when I'll be still in the human form and completely red when I'm in the monster form.
Anger is the first cause of turning, but I should learn how to control it in a few days."

Y/N listened in awe while her friend was shocked.

"Once all the seven Destroyers will be found, they'll have to free us, so that we'll be able to get revenge and we will return to the Underworld all together.
In the meanwhile, you guys can entertain yourself with humans. After all, some of them knew, and yet did nothing to stop the Good Forces.
Did they want us to be evil? Show them."

"I don't want to do this." He said.

"What? I'll kick your ass."

Taehyung chuckled. "You want to do what? With that weak little legs you have?" Now he was holding his stomach while laughing.

"Don't test me" she said pinching his earlobe.

"Ah! Ok ok ok. We'll see. Don't you want to know what the others will will be like?"

"Absolutely yes!"

"There will be one vampire; one demon, one both vampire and demon, a vemon; a werewolf; one with the power of darkness and one hellboy: a boy with the ability of controlling minds, emotions, bodies and people's pain."

"I'm going to die." Said Y/N.

"Have you finally understood this is dangerous?"

"What? No! I want to know these boys!!"

Taehyung sighed "I really can't understand the way you think."

"So, you're going to find those guys, aren't you?" She asked him, hopeful, and ignoring his statement.

"No. I don't think I want to do this."

"Arghh. Does that stupid page say how to find them?"

"Yes, but I won't tell you."

"If you don't I'll knock off your ear."

Taehyung scoffed.

"To find the vampire, you have first to assure he has the seal. Then, you have to drink his blood, but not so much that it can kill him. This has to be done at the sunset of a full moon night.
Once you do that, he won't be completely turned, but he won't be able to eat human food anymore. He will have to feed on some human with blood, and at that point he will be a vampire.
From what we know, his name is-"

"Perfect! Now we can go and look for him."

Y/N closed his laptop, and it was a fortune that her friend had alerady read the boy's name in his head in the moment she interrupted him.

"This attitude of yours is starting to irritate me." Said Taehyung, a bit, as said, irritated.

"Wh-"

"Stop interrupting me while I'm talking."

"Oh."

《¤》

They kept on meeting, enjoying each other presence.

Y/N had now learned that Taehyung was scared of everything that had to do with insects, especially the big ones.
She knew that he left school to take care of his grandma, and now he lived with the money his uncle from America sent him.

He knew that she hadn't been attending school from five months, because of the bullying.

"Don't believe them. You're not ugly. Trust me." He once had said, kissing her forehead.

So, her parents divorced, and she chose to go and live with her now best friend, since he had been so insisting.

It had passed by then one month, from the night they met, and Taehyung could control his other side quite well.
He was starving, however.
Because he did not want to eat human flesh.
He kept on eating meat, but it was like he never put something inside his stomach.

"Taehyung, I know you don't want to, but you have to feed-"

"Don't remind me!" He spat angry.

Y/N had stopped from long time to tell him to find the other guys, she knew he wouldn't surrend.

But Taehyung had to feed on human flesh.
He was getting everyday more snorty, snappy and bad - tempered.

"How about we go out for a walk, mh?" She rubbed his shoulder to calm him down.

He simply nodded, still hungry.

It was dark, the moon was high, but not full.

They walked slowly in the streets, in silence.

"Mrs. Choi was poor, God. We took only one necklace, and it isn't even that worth. Lucky the police suspected that dumbass of her grandson." They both laughed amused, making Taehyung abruptly stop in his tracks.

"What?" Asked Y/N.

"Do you see those two there?"

She nodded, making him go on "They're the thieves who killed my grandma" he said, his words full of hate.

They where in the countryside, where no one went.

"Tae..." she said, scared by those which she knew were his intentions.

"What, princess? You wanted me to use my dark side, might as well to this now, no?"

She frowned a bit, Taehyung got like this whenever he was getting angrier and his other side showed up.

"N- no, but..." she stuttered.

"The Evil Forces were right, humans didn't do anything for us when we needed them. I'll start doing something for this." He said with an evil smile.

"Ahemh, not to be boring, but I'd remind you I'm human too, you know."

"Don't worry, princess. I won't hurt you. I would never."

She breathed a sigh of relief, looking him with a questioning stare.

"Stay here and don't move.
About that thing, look for the others and have fun with humans..."

His eyes glowed colorfully

"I think I've changed my mind."

He smirked licking his now long fangs.
