Chapter 27 - Pressured decisions - Chapter 27

Y/N's POV

"Well, hello there, your majesty" the vampire with low and deep voice, known as Taehyung, has spoken. "You're free to go, Hobi" he added as he glanced slightly at the other vampire before turning his full attention back to me again.

"Call me if you need me" Hoseok said and made his way to the door, leaving me alone with Taehyung in a silent room. After he left the atmosphere felt intentional likewise kind of pressured, gave me the feeling as if I was in an interview with the most powerful president of a country.

As soon as the door closed and Hoseok disappeared from our sight, Taehyung began to walk closer to me. I was still sitting in the same spot of the bed and wanted to get up but I felt as if I was glued to the seat. As soon as Taehyung was 3 feet apart from me, while looked down at me he began to talk, "Don't be scared little princess, I won't bite"

What? Scared? I huffed at him and gave a dissatisfied look at him, "Who told you I was scared" I said as my eyebrows slightly narrowed.

"Your face tells it all" he replied with a calm voice, also with a little relaxed yet cheeky smile.

"Hoseok told me that someone's going to come and deal with me" I added, still unhappily, "I believe you're the one"

Taehyung nodded, and was still looking at me, observed every side of my emotions that I was giving out.

"Well then stop wasting the time already" I scoffed at him, but then the feelings of regrets built inside of me, which made my heart to race a little faster.

Strangely this somehow made Taehyung to laugh, as if I've just told him a funny joke. But soon enough he replied, "Be patient, I've got everything settled in order to technically deal with you" his smile widened to the point his both fangs shined out from his lips.

I felt more nervous since a lot of ideas ran through my head about what Taehyung could've meant by his respond. What was settled? Did he created a separate room in where I'd suffer? Or something worse? What in horror is this!

Taehyung noticed my silent reaction, which turned his smile into a devilish smirk. "Don't worry I haven't settled anything scary for you" he said as if he read my mind and knew exactly what I've just thought about. "Besides..." his smirk suddenly disappeared and turned into a straight face, "I got 3 choices for you" he added.

The nervousness finally disappeared from me but a small sense of it still left its footprints. I looked at his eyes and waited for him to continue giving me the 3 choices that got into his head.

The pale man continued, "Whichever choice you choose would affect you and your future, so choose wisely"

I sighed, when will this nightmare finish already....

"The choice number 1" Taehyung began to state, "You'd become the queen of our kingdom and rule the world with us, forever"

What? What kind of choice is that? There's no way I'd go for this. It's not like I was afraid to rule the world or to do anything with this all, but to be forever trapped in this place with these handsome devils was not something that I wanted. My eyes widened from shock as I swallowed a little bit of my spit from nervousness.

Taehyung, of course, noticed that, and smiled again, "if you'd choose the 1st choice, then we won't bother you with this ring as it will forever be with you, likewise, you'd stay alive" he added.

Staying alive? These last few words made me even more uneasy and afraid to find out what my other 2 choices were.

"The choice number 2" he stated again, "You will follow me to the separate gather room, in where my brothers and I will have to force you to take the ring off and to hang it over us. I don't know if you'd survive nor if what's going to happen to you, which doesn't bother me much"

This choice sounds as terrible as the first one...

"And finally, the third one, probably my favourite one" Taehyung said as his smile formed into a smirk once more. Suddenly, he walked even closer which made me feel a little troubled. He leaned to me as he placed both of his hands from both sides of me, nearly touched my fingers from my hands. I backed further away just a little, yet it didn't seem to bring any changes since our faces were only an inch away from each other, which again made me feel uneasy. I wanted to push him away, but my body felt as if it was frozen in this awkward yet slightly groovy position.

"Y/N..." he whispered lowly as his eyes were locked in mine.

I stayed silent and waited for him to continue.

"We could rule over the world, if you'd obey me and do everything, I tell you to" Taehyung whispered again.

"What?" A whisper came out from my mouth before I thought to answer.

"I won't bother you if you'd work for me and share me your power with me" he added. Suddenly he slowly moved his hand towards mine a little closer, then wrapped his index finger with mine.

"Taehyung..." I mumbled his name as I looked down at our hands that laid perfectly together like from romantic pictures.

"I'll give you 5 minutes to think about it, choose wisely" Taehyung spoke quietly still with a low tone. He unwrapped his finger from mine and backed away from me. Finally, I can breathe properly again...

"I'll be back soon, and once I'll be back, you'll have to tell me your decision" He spoke with a little louder voice this time. His smirk disappeared as if nothing happened just a few seconds again. But his eyes...those ones stayed sparkly but low.

I didn't say anything back since I felt a little confused of what just happened. The way he leaned on me made me feel kind of trapped, hypnotized in his beauty, likewise the feeling as if he controlled my whole body to froze in the position he wanted to.

"Who does he think he is" I thought as a sudden dissatisfaction built in me. I told myself that I'm not going to be controlled by this man nor by anyone else, I won't allow anyone to use me as a source of power that they could just gain to satisfy their needs.

A few minutes passed and 5 minutes would appear very soon. But suddenly I realised that I still had this key for the ring. "Now it's the best opportunity to use it as soon as possible" I thought as I dipped my hand into my sleeve from another hand, in the place where I hid the key last time. However...there was no key in there. I quickly checked the other sleeve - empty.

"Where did it go..." I thought as I began to panic and quickly to look around. I checked the bed and the floor, and I couldn't find anything!

"There's no way I've lost it, I literally had it just moments ago" I thought as my heart began to race from all the exercise that I've been doing to find the key...until the door's little squeaky sound interrupted me. I quickly stood up and spotted Taehyung looking at me in a suspicious way.

"What's with the rush?" Taehyung's deep tone sounded from him as he closed the door behind him.

I stayed silent and waited for him to speak more. Taehyung seemed to get it, "I see you won't answer" he commented.

Taehyung walked closer to me then stopped 3 feet away from me again. "So" he pronounced, "what's your decision?" he asked.

I lowered my gaze as I hated absolutely all of the choices that he gave me. If I'd choose the first choice, then I'd be trapped in this world forever. The second would cause death to me. And the third one is just as terrible as the first one!

"I believe you chose the third one, your majesty?" he spoke as he put his hands to his pockets and a smirk drawn on his face.

"No" the quickest answer I've given.

"No?" Taehyung repeated my answer with a more questionable tone. His smirk vanished but the face of his was still cheeky.

"The ring belongs to me and only me" I spoke in a serious yet somehow powerful tone, "and nobody's allowed to touch it nor use any source of power from it, especially not you, vampire"

The statement I've just expressed seemed to shock Taehyung a little...not going to lie but it shocked me as well. I felt as if the power of the ring made me say this way. Once I glanced at it from the side, the ring seemed to not bring out any effects, but its small sparkles were still in presence. "Didn't know you'd be so stupid..." Taehyung mumbled. His smile was gone, his smirk was gone, his cheekiness was gone...only a serious and disaffected expression was on him.

I regretted. I regretted so much for saying something that I just did, but I couldn't control it. The words just appeared out of nowhere, as if I was controlled. Taehyung turned around and walked towards the door. "Follow me" he said, not looking back at me.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked nervously, frozen in one spot.

A moment of silence covered the room for a few seconds, until Taehyung decided to turn his gaze on me. He turned around and slowly walked to me closer until we were a few inches apart again. Our eyes locked again in the same moment his hands were already in his pockets once more. "Your statement, your majesty, doesn't seem to choose between the 1st and the 3rd choices, which leaves you with only one choice remaining" he spoke in low tone.

"No!" I shouted as I backed away. The second choice would only lead to one way...death.

"Don't be so scared, you'd get a chance to see your friend...Jungkook isn't it?" Taehyung said as he followed me to keep the close distance. I continued to back away until I felt a wall behind me. Taehyung trapped me by the wall and placed his both hands on the wall, trapped me from going left or right. I felt frozen once again as our eyes were still locked to each other.

"I won't let you kill me" I spoke still nervously.

"Who said I will?" Taehyung slightly chuckled, "we'd just take the ring and let you go"

"I'd die if you grab it away from me" I stated as I narrowed my eyebrows.

"You're so naive to believe this kid" he answered, "this myth of yours hasn't been proven"

"So, you'd wish to experiment it? To see if I'd die? Just for your greediness for this accessory?" this time a calm anger and frustration built in me.

Taehyung chuckled again, and a little sided smile have returned to his face. "You're getting annoying now" he murmured, "you're lucky that I didn't bite off that neck of yours by now, be grateful."

I gulped. The more we talked the scarier he sounded. A few moments later I felt someone else's presence appeared in this room. "Taehyung, what are you doing?" the male voice spoke from about 12 feet away from us. Taehyung turned his head slightly on the side as he spotted Namjoon was standing there, watching us in this quite pressured position. "Stop wasting time with your stupid games, and bring the girl to the gather room, now" Namjoon commanded.

Taehyung sighed, "Ruined all the fun..." he quietly mumbled and finally let me free from being pinned on the wall. Taehyung grabbed my wrist and pulled me as he began to follow to wherever Namjoon was taking us to. Gather room...that doesn't sound good. I wanted to run, but I knew it would be pointless to run away from them as they'd catch me right away. Therefore, I gave up and prepared to face whatever was coming to me...
