Prologue

"Everything hurt , my brain was shaking and my bones felt weak , there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop feeling this way besides giving in , I couldn't give in , I couldn't lose control because apart of me knew that when I did , it's game over."

...

Taeyong's breathing was heavy , out of all his 24 years he's never experienced something so intense , his lips parted slightly allowing his air flow to regulate but then he would feel something snap in his body and close his mouth wincing and then breathing through his nose , a constant rotation. Taeyong gripped onto the railing , he was on a bridge that overlooked a stream.

His veins felt like they were about to burst and his heart was shaking violently, hot tears trailed down cheeks and he couldn't help but let out a low animalistic growl , his eyes were burning and he started blinking while coughing slightly.

"What the fucks happening to me?"

His voice came out rough and louder than normal and it frightened him , Taeyong felt like his ribs were realigning and breaking themselves at the same time , Taeyong stumbled off the bridge and fell onto his knees , he propped himself up with his hands but arched his back , he's never experienced pain like this before , sure he's broken a bone but this was much more painful , it was like his bones were breaking and reconstructing themselves in his body.

"You need to focus"

Taeyong snapped his head up , who said that? Who's theres? Taeyong could see no one and yet he swore he heard a voice like it was right in front of him.

'If you don't focus, It's going to take over'

'And what the fuck am I supposed to focus on? Huh?"

Taeyong was becoming irritated, he's in fucking unbelievable pain and this bitch wants him to focus on something else? What a joke. Taeyong rolled his eyes then shuddered feeling a cold breeze run up his spine.

'Focus on the sound of running water , or even a heartbeat, just focus on anything and everything to calm you down'

Taeyong couldn't help but scoff but he closed his eyes nonetheless and tried to rid of the sound of his veins pumping blood throughout his body, he listened as the water from the stream overlapped and crashed into each other. Taeyong could feel the burn in his eyes and he shook his head forgetting about the stream. A low snarl left the back of his throat.

'It's not fucking working'

Taeyong grolwed scaring himself , a long sigh left his mouth and the pain had stopped momentarily until his fingertips felt like they were being pulled apart , like his finger nails were being ripped off his hands.

'Forget about the water , find something else , find someone else , don't give in Taeyong'

Taeyong's heart jumped hearing this voice call out his name ,Taeyong let out a deep breath closing his eyes , he could still see , shadows and figures were shaping themselves in his mind and he could almost see all the heart beats around him, he gulped feeling the pain slowly die down as he searched through the crowd of beating hearts and settled on one , there heart beat was just as erratic as his own , he could feel the uneasiness radiating of this person and Taeyong sighed feeling a sense of calmness realising he wasn't the only one feeling like this.

His heart rate slowed down and he took slow and deep breaths while listening to the silent thuds as the heart beat slowly drowned itself out and it was only a mere background noise , something Taeyong could still hear in his mind , Taeyong opened his eyes and sighed feeling his body relax , sweat dripped from his body and he sat up sitting back onto his feet while still kneeling .

He tilted his head towards the night sky and breathed out , his breath becoming foggy and swirling around him , his body stopped , stopped hurting , stopped reconstructing itself and Taeyong could finally think properly, his eyes burned and he could feel the shift in colour as his dark brown eyes shifted to a deep and fiery red , Taeyong scoffed feeling his teeth shrink in size and were no longer sharp and long. he rolled his wrists and neck around as he closed his fists finally gaining control over his own body.

The soft thuds still lingered in the back of his head as he stood up dusting himself off of any dirt on his body , he was still breathing quite heavily and he tried to calm it down until the sound of a twig snapping had his head snapping around and turning to face the culprit.

Taeyong's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say , he didn't know what to do and he wasn't sure if he was supposed to act like nothing happened or ask if this person saw what happened but who the fuck this person is in the first place.

'Taeyong , Nice to meet you , My name is...'

...

Hey guys , so I've been very confused about how I want to do this story and now I feel like I've finally settled into the idea and plot more as you can tell by my fancy characters chapters, so this is the last round of editing and I hope you enjoy.
