Blood Lust | K.Th./V

II - 7

As soon as they got to the apartment, they carefully placed the mirrors on the couch, looking at them for any signs of damage. They were sat side by side as they each looked around the frame, touching the smooth material of the ancient artifacts, looking nothing like Rei had imagined them to look. They were shining brighter than anything she'd ever seen in her life but she couldn't get her eyes off them either. After a while, Taehyung's voice was heard next to her and it drew her attention enough to make her look away from the magical objects but a strange urge got to her that was telling her to check the back of the mirrors.

"We need to find the Sword. Come on." He urged, taking her hand to guide her to the door.

"Wait." Rei stopped, turning back to the artifacts, grabbing the edge to tilt it forward and reveal the back of the first mirror and she was surprised to find some type of ancient writings on the canvas covering the back that she couldn't recognize the language.

"What is that?" Taehyung asked, stepping closer to the couch as she turned the mirror, its back facing them properly as Rei lowered it on the plush cushion.

"I don't know. Turn the other around as well." Taehyung did as told, and it too had the same type of writings on its back and the shape in which it was written seemed like a puzzle but they didn't match in the position they were in at the moment and Rei moved to swap them around, the writings completing each other and forming the face of the whole American continent.

"Alright." He drew out the words, looking at the canvas confused. "What the Hell is this?" He asked confused.

"I think it's some kind of spell. But I can't read it since I'm not a witch." Rei assumed but a small crack in the left corner of the canvas got Rei's attention and she moved to investigate it. "What is this?" She said as her fingers went to gently pull the corner that was sticking out to reveal the inside of the frame where they found the item they were about to go looking for.

"Is that the Sword we're looking for?" Taehyung asked, hoping for a positive answer. The faster they found the items the faster they would heal up Kookie and get out of the messy situation that was eating him alive.

Eager to find out as well, Rei carefully untucked the piece of canvas on the side, revealing the whole inside of the mirror, careful not to rip off the cloth on which the spell was written on because without it everything would'be been in vain.

The appearance of the short sword looked exactly like she remembered from the details she read online and from CL as well. The handle was made of carved wood, painted with strange designs and the blade was thick near the bottom, thinning towards the pointy tip, carved with small droplets that she assumed was meant to resemble the blood of the victim.

"I think it is, Tae. We found them." Rei said surprised but a small smile spread across her face at the realization that soon everything would go back to the way it was before when she just joined the gang. "How are we gonna take them back, though? Don't we need some paperwork for them?"

"Oh, baby. You forget who your boyfriend is." He chuckled, closing the distance between them to peck her lips sweetly as Rei looked at him with pure confusion.

"What? Taehyung, now is not the time for this. Have a little patience, would you?" Rei scolded, assuming he was just horny again.

"What? No, Rei, that's all I am to you, a sex toy?" He teased, feigning offense, and Rei was more confused than ever, looking at him with big eyes and a slight pout on her lips and he dropped the teasing to get back to the problem at hand. "I have a jet, babe. We'll get Yoongi hyung to come get us without anyone knowing." Taehyung explained and Rei nodded, understanding what he meant.
