Their hearts dropped.
"Please, Somin-" Hayoon began, about to start begging to the immortal female in front of her.
Somin interrupted her before she could even start, "No, Mathew shouldn't even have brought you here, I don't care!-"
"I'm not negotiating with you, hag," Donghan interrupted her this time, stepping in front of the group and giving the woman the same glare she was giving them, "this is about your good for nothing sister, so in hindsight this does have to do with your stupid ass so get the fuck off of whatever high horse you're on and atleast hear what we have to say." there was fire forming near his fingers from the annoyance radiating off of him, Hayoon taking his hand in her own to calm him down.
Hayoon looked back at Somin, a smirk now on her face, "You up for talking now?" she inquired with a small head tilt.
Somin's jaw visibly clenched, her fists doing the same. She heaved out a deep breath, saying, "Keep the Phoenix in line, boy," she looked directly at Hoseok, the younger just tensing, "or i'll put you to sleep in a millisecond." with that looming in the air, she went back in the house, the others taking that as an invitation.
As they tied the horses saddle handles, Hoseok wondered how Somin even knew he was the Phoenix when BM didn't even realize it when he saw him.
Weird.
Eventually they all gathered in the house, which was surprisingly big on the inside, a complete opposite to the way it looked like a small cottage on the outside. They all assumed it must've been some witchy power.
They saw that same girl with short black hair, she had a small smile on her face as she welcomed them, "Hi, i'm Jeon Soyeon, sorry about my mom, hopefully your experience with my father was better."
Jimin smiled, shaking his head fondly, "Your dad was a delight," he looked over at where Somin was sitting, clearly arguing with BM, "your mother was a bump." he put it nicely, the rest knowing how honest Jimin could be at times, were thankful that he filtered himself.
All of them sat where they could and stood if they didn't feel like sitting, Hoseok sat down since he was afraid he'd be more likely to do something if he was standing. Yoongi sat beside him, of course, and held Hoseok's hand in his own, when he interlocked their fingers Hoseok felt a shot of cold go up his arm and throughout his body; which caused his body to un-tense and relax almost automatically.
He leaned his head on Yoongi's shoulder, muttering, "w-what did you do?"
Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows while looking over at Hoseok, "Huh?"
Before Hoseok could explain what he meant, Somin and the others began talking.
"What do you want?" she asked, BM face palming at her tone of voice but deciding to just keep his agony towards the situation within himself. Soyeon was sitting on a near by chair, since the living room was connected too the dining room.
Hayoon decided to be the voice of the group, "Jiwoo, your little sister, she's planning to genocide all elemental kind and we want your help. She's your blood relative and we were wondering if you could talk her down potentially."
Somin scoffed, shaking her head and moving her hair out of her face, "I haven't seen Jiwoo in years, her and I don't get along, so i'm afraid I can't help you."
"B-but-"
"I can't."
"Why?" Jimin suddenly shouted, glaring at the woman in front of him, "why can't you help us take down YOUR sister?"
Somin glared at him, her eyes morphing into the complete black all witch eyes did, before she took a deep breath and they went back to normal, "Because Jiwoo isn't one to be talked down or stopped. Her and I are immortal, we've been around a long time, nothing has ever stopped her from getting what she wants. This isn't my problem, you handle it."
Jimin was shaking from the anger that coursed through him, and he would have unleashed all of his elemental power if it wasn't for NamJoon holding him back. Though his eyes did settle into their cloudy white for a couple seconds.
SeokJin decided to speak next, "Taehyung," he held the younger in front of him, "Jiwoo implanted a bug inside of him to watch us, but it was in him for awhile before we got it out. Can you help us repel the rest of her, witchness, away?" he asked cautiously, wanting this stubborn bitch to help a bit.
"To do that you'd need to cleanse his blood, which takes days, so no." she replied simply, even shrugging nonchalantly afterward, SeokJin's eyes twitched at her words, he was losing his patience.
"C-can you at least be helpful and tell us why Jiwoo would be doing this?" Jeongyeon was the next to ask something, because if this useless bitch wasn't going to help them the way they needed to be helped, then she could at least answer some questions.
"N-"
"Say no and I'm going to shove an ice dagger so far down your throat your going to feel it in your vagina," Yoongi threatened, his eyes morphing into their icy white as Somin turned to look at him.
All of them saw as she sucked in a sharp breath, her eyes widening a bit, "The OneeOnia vessel." she muttered, Yoongi hearing her but deciding to disregard the comment as he looked away.
She then looked at the groggy Hoseok and chukled to herself, knowing exactly what happened but deciding not to say anything.
Somin sighed, deciding she'd at least answer their question, "Jiwoo has always been power hungry, ever since we were young, she'd do things little girls don't commonly do. Us being born with black hair already marked us with the title of black magik wielding witches, which naturally caused people to be afraid of us." she explained, her eyes glossing over, almost as if she was reliving her memories.
This reminded the elementals of the prejudice against fire elementals, since everyone thought of them as impulsive and destructive when it all depended on the person.
"Jiwoo embraced the fear others had for her. As we grew, she killed fellow witches to obtain their power, which is why she as white streaks in her hair-" they all suddenly remembered that Jiwoo had lots of white streaks in her hair, a shiver ran down their spines.
"-as she grew, we grew, she just became more and more evil and destructive. Recently I haven't heard from her, but she's always wanted to rid Aesthete of elemental kind since witches were here first and elementals drove us into hiding, though on top of that she wants power and genociding a whole species will make her pretty powerful and will make her more feared." Somin explained this in a way that didn't make it seem life changing and didn't affect them in a harmful way, she said it casually.
NamJoon furrowed his eyebrows, "why is she doing it now? She's immortal, why not do it before?"
Somin shrugged, "I wouldn't be able to tell you," she looked over at Hoseok and Yoongi, "though I have an idea."
They caught what she was throwing, what she was insinuating specifically.
Somin stood, the front door flying open and startling Soyeon, who had been listening to everything, "Leave, and I'm not asking." she stated, her eyes morphing to black in a threatening manner before she walked away.
BM gave them a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry."
Hayoon gave him a small smile, bowing her head towards him, "It's alright, thank you for your help."
They all walked out one by one, now off too look for a clearing so they'd be able to sleep since it was getting late and they were tired.
It was useless to come see Somin since she was no help at all.
Once they were all out, the door shut behind them, Soyeon ran up to her mothers bedroom, where she knew she was.
"Why wouldn't you want to help them?" she questioned, causing her mother to groan and a frustrated expression to settle on her features.
"Because Soyeon, this is elemental business, not ours, i'm not obligated to help them," Somin stated, her voice firm and eyes set on her daughter who was standing in front of her with confusion laced in the way her face contorted.
Soyeon shook her head, furrowing her eyebrows, "Who do you think Jiwoo is going to go for after she's killed every single elemental in Aesthete? You said it yourself, she's killed witches for power, what makes you think she won't do the same when our balance is gone?" she reasoned with her mom, because she wanted to help them.
Soyeon was well aware of Jiwoo, she was her aunt afterall and her mother has told her stories about the evil witch.
Somin rubbed her temples, sighing, "Soyeon, this isn't our business-"
"But it is, Jiwoo is our blood-"
"Soyeon-"
"Mom-"
"ENOUGH!" Somin screamed, her power blasting off of her but Soyeon created a force field with her own magic to keep her mother's outburst from hurting her, "We're not helping them and that's final, do you understand me?"
"Mom they're going to get themselves killed out there-"
Somin grabbed her daughter by the shoulders, holding her in place and looking at her pleadingly, "Soyeon, honey, please, we can't help them. They decided to come here and they can figure out how to leave. Go to your room, i'm done talking about this." she then let her go, forcing her daughter out of the room and slamming the door in her face.
Soyeon clenching her jaw as she looked down at the ground.
<><><>
"Well that was useless," Ilsung stated, laying flat on the ground like a starfish.
They had already created their woody home and now were just in the dome talking about how useless it was to see Somin.
"Well I could clearly see the resemblance between her and Jiwoo," Jeongyeon pointed out, which had the others laughing but you could hear the exhaustion in their voices.
SeokJin was staring at Taehyung, who was sleeping placidly on his lap. He was worried, and Jungkook could feel it.
He turned Seokjin's face so he could look at him, "We're going to help him." he assured.
Jin smiled, kissing his boyfriend lovingly and needing the reassurance.
Hoseok was sleeping with Yoongi in his arms, the younger falling out rather quickly. Yoongi never got a chance to ask him what exactly happened at Somin's place.
"Shhh," Songhee quieted them, standing in the dome as she listened.
All of them hearing what she did.
Someone was walking outside of the dome area and trying to get through.
Donghan retracted his flame, Namjoon opening the dome, all of them ready to beat the fuck out of who ever was out there since they were already in a bad mood.
They didn't expect to see the girl they saw before, Soyeon, with a bag on her back.
Donghan furrowed his eyebrows, "What are you doing here?"
She smiled, placing her hands in a surrender position to signify she wasn't going to hurt them as she replied:
"I want to help you."
