DARKNESS - ENHYPEN
7. Unaltered

The girl returned with a glass of water but only remembered that Sunghoon could not drink human drinks but Elena was surprised to see that Sunghoon had managed to gulp down the water.

"How can you?" The whisper couldn't believe it.

"Let me explain."

Elena immediately smiled stiffly at EJ when she realized that her boyfriend was paying attention.

"Your locket is good, Elena." Praise EJ.

"Sure, this is my father's gift. He said, this pendant has many benefits." Elena touched the heart-shaped pendant.

"May you not lose that thing." EJ then said goodbye to go.

Sunghoon invites Elena to join his friends. A group of noble and strongest vampires who are feared by vampires and other creatures. The cranium is a human-hunting vampire, the target being a woman of choice. They will be in action once every month to invite their victims to play games in a mountain forest near the dormitory. And Elena certainly didn't know about it.

They will finish off the woman together, the reason being only one. For fun, not for blood hunting.

"Why do you want to meet Sunghoon?" Ask a guy named Sunoo. He was the man who smiled at Elena when the girl had just walked into the house.

"I didn't intend to get to know him, it all just happened."

"Ey~ you're too honest. You should have answered because I'm handsome, so you want to meet me." Sunghoon stretched out his hands to a sofa.

"Yes, you're good-looking, just too perverted."

The five teenage boys laughed and were comforted by Elena's words. The girl smiled shyly as she glanced at the irritated Sunghoon.

"You should be careful from now on, Sunghoon could have pounced on you when you were off guard." Said Jay starting to let out his joke.

While everyone was joking, suddenly one of the teenage boys behaved strangely. The man looked towards the tightly closed red door. Jake who realized something immediately reprimanded his friend.

"You feel something, NiKi?" Jake asked, stopping the laughter of his friends.

All of the men immediately let out serious facial expressions, the clueless Elena simply watched on cengo.

"Julius, he's arrived." It clearly made Sunghoon reflexively look towards Elena.

"Then let's go meet him." Jake and the others instantly got up from their seats but not Sunghoon. The man remained silent on the spot. "I have to take Elena first."

"He can go home alone, can't he, Elena?"

Elena was a little surprised when Jake said it was late at night and Elena expected Sunghoon to drive her but hearing Jake's statement that didn't allow Sunghoon to escort her made Elena inevitably nod. "Jake's right, I can go home on my own with my bike. You don't have to worry." Elena was about to remove Sunghoon's jacket but was prevented.

"I'll ask EJ to drive you." Firmly Sunghoon while wearing a jacket to Elena.

Elena took a deep breath and felt that Jake was so unhappy with her. When he first meets, Jake is so warm but changes after Elena finds out his identity.

...***...

Tomorrow the school is a little crowded. The appearance of the news from the school made the students frightened.

...A FEMALE STUDENT WITH NO LEGS WAS FOUND IN HUYL'S FOREST...

His body immediately shook violently when he read the news about his upperclassman whom he had talked to Sunghoon a few days ago.

"Are the mountain men still this cruel?" Elena Mumbled.

"That could have happened considering Huyl mountain is a mountain that is still thick with tradition." Nicholas responded carefully.

"What a pity Lucy's sister." Excited pity, Elena imagined what if it happened to her. A second later he woke himself up. Of course that bad thing can't happen to him. Luckily Elena wasn't the victim.

Elena tried to swallow her saliva but it was difficult. "Why is the photo not censored." Nausea grunts.

"Maybe the victims didn't run away so they cut off the leg."

Elena agrees with Nicholas' theory.

"If I were the killer, I'd take his head." Canda Haruto made Elena hit him straight away.

"What makes them die? I think humans can still live even if their legs are cut off, yes." Elena asked.

"Entah~ I don't know." This time Nicholas answered rather lazily.

"Why don't you just try to go to Huyl Mountain to see what the women are like to die." Sunghoon's words and presence made Elena instantly exasperated.

"You're telling me to die?"

Sunghoon shook his head, "I only gave an answer to your curiosity."

"That doesn't help!." As Elena shifted her seat, she did not want to get close to Sunghoon.

While Haruto watched Nick and Sunghoon who were staring at each other.

The presence of Sunghoon disturbed Nicholas, he was very dislikeful when Sunghoon was near him as if something was strange. Sunghoon's aura was too dark for Nicholas that he was sometimes scared when he looked at Sunghoon.

"You came home safe yesterday?"

"Em~ you shouldn't have to tell EJ to drive me. I can go home by myself." Elena put the vegetables in her mouth.

"You met EJ, where?" Ask Haruto.

Slowly Nicholas gave Elena a bowl of vegetables. The man did not like vegetables.

"I met him at Sunghoon's friend's party." Elena replied pouring vegetables onto her rice.

"Why don't you eat vegetables, isn't that good for your health?" Sunghoon starts nosy teasing Nicholas.

"Little Nick doesn't like vegetables. He's gonna get sick from eating vegetables, weird isn't he?"

"That means he looks like a dog because they don't eat vegetables like you." Sunghoon smiled mischievously and that made Elena and Chika gawk. Sunghoon's joke was outrageous for Elena.

Nicholas who could not stand directly hit Sunghoon's face. Suddenly everyone was fixed on the second fight, Elena panicked for fear that Nicholas was injured by hitting Sunghoon's ice face. But the girl was shocked when she saw that there was blood coming out of the corner of the man's mouth. How could that happen?.

Suddenly, Nicholas stopped beating when he found out that his body was about to change. "It looks like you're about to change." Sunghoon murmured still with an annoying smile.

Maybe Nicholas ran out of the cafeteria, he ran out of the school. Elena who incidentally likes Nicholas immediately chased after him, he followed the footsteps of the man. But it seems that Elena could not catch up because Nicholas' whereabouts were nowhere to be seen, Elena continued to step into the forest area behind the school. He had to find his little friend. Elena knew that Nicholas was angry that he would run away from the crowd.

"Nick! you're not crying, are you?" Elena shouted while drowning.

The girl immediately turned her head when she heard the sound of a twig being stepped on, she guessed that it was Nicholas. Elena approached the source of the voice and was shocked when she saw a ferocious beast with dense fur and green eyes. The animal is tall and large. His mouth was gaping, his breathing paused for a moment, Elena could not believe that he saw a wolf.

The animal that he could only imagine was now in front of him. Elena's feet slowly began to move backwards, trying as she might not see the eyes of the beast. His heart was beating so fast, cold sweat started flooding his body. Chasing Nicholas for this time became one of the bad choices for him. The animal watched Elena while occasionally sniffing her hair.

His legs were sagging when he realized that his life was only a few minutes away. Without him noticing, Elena fell to the ground unconscious.

At that time Nicholas could control his body, he returned to human form naked. His uniform that has been torn again, he has to buy a new uniform tomorrow. He is not a careless werewolf, Nicholas has prepared some pants in his hiding place when ready to turn into a wolf. So that he will not be naked when he returns to the dorm.

"You shouldn't have followed me." Nicholas muttered stroking Elena's face.
