It was chaos. No one expected Seokjin to suggest they accompany him back to his clan. No one really wanted to do it either, but he claimed that there would be more answers in his clans library than the one at the manor. Yoongi told him to just go alone, but, to everyone's surprise, Jungkook said that all of them needed to go so they could find information faster.

Namjoon had pulled Jihae to the side once everyone had started yelling at each other. "Jihae, there are things we must handle with your mother and her friend before we leave." He gave her a sympathetic look, and she assumed the worst.

"Don't kill them!" Her voice cut through the shouting match between Jungkook and Yoongi. Taehyung gave her an incredulous look.

"No one is killing anyone," he said. "We only kill when we have to feed. I'm pretty sure we are all full from our last meals." Jihae's jaw dropped at that.

"Y-you kill people?" She took a hesitant step backwards.

"We gotta eat." Jungkook shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Namjoon grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her to face him. "There is something very special about both Taehyung and Seokjin. They will handle everything delicately. They will not die. You have my word." They stared at each other for a long moment. Jihae was searching for dishonesty, and when she didn't find any, she nodded and stepped back.

"What about university?" She asked then.

"Finally, a question that isn't stupid." Taehyung stared at the ceiling as if regarding the heavens for a blessing.

"That will be handled by me," Jimin stated. "School will be unnecessary for you now."

"I will get you a whole new wardrobe while they are out handling your personal matters." Hoseok smiled at her, but she narrowed her eyes at him.

"And will I be joining you?"

"Well, no. You have to stay hidden for now. We don't know what type of threat there is now that you've been found," Hoseok said sheepishly.

"I guess I'll speak with Daliania. I guess you can sit in on that conversation. I'm sure you have more dumb questions to ask, and she'd be happy to answer them." Jihae looked over at Jungkook who was picking at his fingernails. He seemed bored, but she could detect the hesitation in the notion that he would have to talk to the prophet.

"And what about Namjoon and Yoongi?" Jihae looked between the two. One gave her a dimpled smile, and the other gave her a scowl.

"I will be doing a last run through of our library. Then I'm going to contact my own clan to have them searching our archives." Yoongi crossed his arms and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. He didn't meet her eyes.

"Why would they need to look when we are going to Seokjin's clan?"

"Because, human," he spat, "I don't trust them." She had to take a step back when his eyes finally met hers. His gaze was sharp, and she could finally feel the tension between the seven vampires.

None of them trusted each other. They didn't want to be there, and they especially didn't want to protect her.

She looked over at Jungkook. "I do have a lot of questions for Daliania. Starting with why the hell you seven are the ones with me and not a group of people who are actually nice." She turned to Namjoon. "And what the fuck are you going to do? Contact your clan as well?" She spat out. "I don't understand any of you. Only two of you have been remotely nice to me, but it's out of pure necessity to keep me here. One barely talks to me, and the other four of you are unbearable assholes! Why me? And why all of you?" And with those words hanging between everyone, she stomped up the stairs and to her room.
