The others waited impatiently in the car, all of them on edge with the plan that had gone out of the window as soon as Jungkook decided to set foot in that place with Namjoon by his side.
"We can't wait much longer, they'll get suspicious" Ailee worried for their safety.
"We can't leave them" Taehyung insisted as at that moment, he got out of the car, pulling the hood on his jumper up as he began to stride back to the place he'd been dying to get out of.
"What are you doing?!" Hoseok shouted
"Get back in the car!" Yoongi hissed, but he completely ignored them both, heading straight back in.
"Let's go!" Hoseok went to get out, but Ailee grabbed him and forced them to stay in the car, silently shaking her head.
"If we all go the game is up" She told them with a shake of fear in her voice for the first time since her plan started.
"We just have to wait for them" She told them as she turned back to the entrance that her brother had just walked through.
Taehyung didn't feel one bit nervous, Adrenaline running through his system as he walked in as normal as he could, keeping his head low but not to a suspicious level. He headed straight for the elf enclosure, going up to the glass as he caught eyes with one of the elves who looked at him in shock and confusion.
"Where's Jin?" He hissed as quietly as he could
"I don't know, some guy came and took him away" The elf spoke
"What Guy? What did he look like?" Taehyung pushed for answers
"I don't, a doctor. He had black hair, tall" The elf tried to describe him
"I need details" Taehyung demanded in a panicked voice now
"Bunny teeth, doe eyes, I-I don't know I-"
The elf himself began to get flustered by the urgency, but those two alone were all Taehyung needed.
"Where did he go?" Taehyung asked
"It just happened a minute before you came, he-"
Suddenly an alarm set off around the whole zoo, the enclosures going into lockdown as Taehyung began to panic, his eyes widening as his heart felt like it was gonna beat out of his chest.
He had to get out of there, but he had to find his friends.
"Taehyung!" He heard as he turned around, Namjoon running out of the door where the health clinic for the Elves was, Taehyung sighing thankfully when he saw Jin by his side, holding his hand tightly.
"We have to go!" Namjoon warned, but only three of the four were there.
"Where's Kook?" Taehyung questioned, but Jin grabbed his hand as they began to sprint through the zoo, seeing the doors at the entrance about to go on lock down.
"Guys! Where's Kook?" Taehyung asked once again, growing more and more worried, but he never got an answer, the other two focused on getting them out of there before their opportunity was gone.
"Hurry guys!" They saw the other three at the entrance, waving them out in panic as the doors were getting closer and closer to shutting them in there forever.
"We're not gonna make it" Jin remarked, but Taehyung had an idea. It would completely give away their plan, but the door was going to close in a matter of seconds and they'd be stuck there and caught anyway.
He leapt into his wolf form, sprinting across the zoo as he heard screams from the public and the keepers were instantly running to grab their things to detain him.
He ran to the door, standing directly under it as he used all the strength in him to keep it open, the heavy metal door falling on his back in an attempt to squish him, but he kept it firmly up, despite his whole stature shaking.
Namjoon and Jin took that as a cue to hurry up, running through the doors as quick as they could as just in time, the keepers reached Taehyung, ready to send him back to the enclosure, he leapt out from under the door and it slammed shut.
Taehyung was quick to turn back into his human form as he turned to the others who were already speed walking away, back to the car.
"Where the fuck is Kook?!" Taehyung raised his voice in frustration and anger, the other stopping and turning to Namjoon and Jin who instantly wore faces of guilt.
"We tried to get him out, but he caused suspicion" Namjoon spoke
"What happened to him?!" Taehyung demanded a proper answer, growing more and more scared for what his best friend might have gone through or be going through.
"They caught him out and they've basically arrested him" Jin spoke, Taehyung groaning in frustration as he pulled on his hair.
"We can't leave him in there" Taehyung spoke under his breath, yet they all heard it.
"What do we do then?" Ailee asked, but Taehyung had already figured something out.
"We wait here until dark, then we're all gonna sneak in and get him out" Taehyung spoke as suddenly a siren went off and an announcement was heard about the creatures who'd broke out.
"Until then we have to hide" Hoseok spoke anxiously as they ran for the nearby trees, choosing to hide in there.
It was a rather long and boring wait until the sky turned dark and the moon shone down, but it reminded them of the old times, like the lair being hidden in the trees and even the elf portal being surrounded in a forest.
The night eventually came, the cool air causing them to shiver, but they perceived, slowly heading back to the zoo, which was still on lockdown, however now they had spotlights searching around the premises, more guards than usual with shot guns and flashlights.
"Shit, what do we do?" Yoongi groaned at the horrifying sight, but Taehyung was not willing to give up as he gestured for them to follow him.
Silently they moved through the trees, slipping around the back of the zoo where the security room was, knowing Jungkook would be held there.
It was surprising how quick and silent they were, the wolves jumping over the wall with ease, giving Ailee and Jin a boost up as within minutes they were all back in the zoo premises.
Small noises could be heard from inside the security office, Taehyung and Ailee heading over to the window whilst the others kept watch, the both of them peaking in.
Jungkook was currently handcuffed to a table, forced to sit in a chair as he was being interrogated and by the look on his face, this had been going on for hours.
"Why did you help the elf break free?" The security man asked, but Jungkook stayed silent.
"Did you set the missing wolves free too?" He questioned but once again Jungkook didn't answer, the security man sighing angrily as he picked up his coffee cup.
"I'm gonna get a drink and when I come back I want those answers" He warned in a low and threatening voice, Jungkook looking straight a head of him with no sign of fear as the man walked out, leaving Jungkook to try and fight the handcuffs off.
"Jungkook!" He looked up to the window to see two people peeking at him.
"Get me the fuck out of here!" He whisper shouted as Taehyung hopped up and slid his way in, walking over to his friend who stared at him with daggers.
"I'm so sorry" Taehyung apologises, grabbing the metal handcuffs and snapping them with ease as Jungkook jumped up and was out of that window at the speed of light.
Taehyung was quick to follow as they successfully escaped, but Jungkook was not happy at all.
"How the fuck have I got involved in this?!" He whisper shouted
"I'm sorry, it wasn't apart of the plan-" Ailee went to try and apologise.
"Shut up! Somehow you roped me into this and it could have got me arrested!" Jungkook spat angrily at her.
"That's it, I'm done" Jungkook began to walk away.
"Kook we need you" Taehyung stepped in, Jungkook whipping around to look at him as he stared at him in disgust.
"I don't even know you! Any of you! This isn't real! You're all crazy and need serious help! I should let the zoo know you're here and-"
"Kookie?" They heard a nearby voice that made them freeze, but Jungkook's eyes widened when he heard it. They turned to where the voice was and it only clicked in their heads then where they were.
They were just next to the vampire enclosure and Jennie was stood right there.
Jungkook stared at her, his eyes wide at the beautiful vampire who's just said his nickname. But it wasn't the fact she was beautiful or said his name that made him go into shock, it was the familiar face he saw and voice he heard. He felt like he'd seen her before, heard her before.
"Kookie it's me, Jennie" She spoke as she pressed her hands against the glass, eyes with hope glistening and tears welling as she was almost begging the human she fell in love with to remember her.
"You remember me right?" She asked, but she noticed the hesitance in him.
"You protected me, you saved me and let me drink your blood to keep me alive" She tried to jog his memory.
"Kookie I-"
"You promised you'd come back for me" Jungkook spoke out of nowhere, everyone turning to him in shock. The look on his face said it all. He was beginning to remember her, which meant he could remember everything.
"You promised I'd see you again" Jungkook stepped forwards as he walked up to the glass in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I-"
"It's not your fault" He interrupted her as he pressed his hand against the glass.
All he wanted to do was hold her like he remembered doing the first day they met when she was weak and thirsty. He remembered holding her from falling in his arms, her frail body leaning against his own as he wrapped a blanket around her. He remembered allowing her to drink his blood, her sharp teeth digging into his neck and he remembered the feeling so vividly, only for her to kiss over the marks and heal his wound.
"Jennie, I'm so sorry I forgot you" He told her, but she smirked.
"It's not me you should be apologising to" She gestured behind him, turning around to see them all and suddenly, what felt like a wave in his brain hit him.
He remembered the wolf lair and fighting in it as a vampire himself, only for them to become best friends afterwards. He remembered the elf portal and he remembered running away from a family who never cared about him in order to protect a little elf with pointy ears and purple eyes and plump lips.
But for some reason he remembered not needing a family. He had the most amazing friends around him, but he remembered a mother who wasn't really his mother always being there for him, a younger sister who wasn't his younger sister wanting to play with him all the time and it was uncanny how much she looked like the young girl in front of him now.
But he remembered a brother from another mother. Someone who always had his back and always was there from him, right from the moment they met at some stupid gaming club, to going round to each other's houses and playing said stupid games. He remembered laughing with him and crying with him and sharing his pain and happiness and their secrets. He remembered how they were as thick as thieves and even when he was falling in love with the little elf with purple eyes, he always had Jungkook's back.
"Tae.." Jungkook breathed out and Taehyung almost sighed with relief as he pulled his best friend into a hug.
"Thank god you remember me" Taehyung spoke, grateful when he felt Jungkook actually hug him back.
"I'm sorry I forgot such an amazing friend like you" Jungkook murmured as suddenly all the others began to join the group hug and it began to feel like their little circle was about to be complete again.
Except one person was missing.
"We have to go" Jin broke the nice silence when he heard security guards nearby.
Instantly Jungkook turned back to Jennie in worry, but she smiled at him softly.
"Go, I'll keep an eye on everything here" She told him.
"But-"
"Kookie I know you'll come back for me" She told him.
"I know I'll see you again"
Jungkook smiled. He so wanted to run and kiss her for the first time, but she was stuck behind glass and there wasn't even a way for him to hug her or touch her. All he could do was place his hand on the glass against hers, the nearest they could get to contact.
"Go!" Jennie panicked as she heard the voices getting nearer, watching as the group rushed to the wall and safely jumped over it.
They were free and she knew she could trust them to get them out of this place.
