!So here's the deal with this part. XD I had to write it really fast, because as I thought about writing it, I was freaking myself out. I actually had butterflies in my stomach. I guess it's cause shit kind of finally gets real starting now (after 14 other parts XD). Crossing my fingers that no one dislikes it. :X
!!!!I'm not sure if the next chapter should be Taemin or Minho. Suggestions?

"I thought it was strange~." Key said, "That a shop like this would be open after hours."
Onew stared at him, feeling defeated. Key sat on the counter in the shop, and the keeper's body laid on the floor beneath him. Onew could smell the blood on her, although he couldn't see it from where he stood.
Jonghyun stood behind Onew, blocking the door, else he'd simply run away.
"What now?" Onew asked dully. "You kill me?"
"Only if you make us." Key said, "I'd really rather not. Seems cheap, know what I mean?" When Onew didn't return Key's smile, Key rolled his eyes. "Come on. You knew you wouldn't be able to hide from us."
"I don't understand why you've made this so personal. I wouldn't be even close to the first person that slipped away."
Key crossed his arms, "Don't pretend you don't know why this is personal."
"Don't expect me to come along with you peacefully."
Key hopped down from the counter, picking up a bloody dagger that Onew had noticed before. He stepped on the shopkeeper as he walked closer to Onew, holding the dagger threateningly. "Wanna fight with me?"
Onew looked over his shoulder at Jonghyun, who actually looked bored. "Jonghyun, you.."
The bored expression Jonghyun had just moments ago changed to that snarly vampiric expression as he looked at Onew, "Don't talk to me. If it were up to me, you'd have been dead five minutes ago."
Key grabbed Onew's arm, sliding the wet blade across his shirt to wipe it off. Onew actually had it in him to feel sorry that another of Minho's shirts was ruined, and it was with thoughts of him that he said - "If you won't kill me, I'll come with you."
"Fanfuckingtastic." Key said with no feeling, as honestly he didn't care if Onew consented one way or another. He kept his blade close by Onew's side, holding the hilt tight but holding Onew's arm even tighter, guiding him to the door. "Jonghyun, stay and clean up."
Jonghyun shrugged and moved aside so they could pass. The moment Onew stepped, just one foot ahead of Key onto the sidewalk, a familiar voice called out excitedly.
"Noodle!!"
Onew and Key both looked directly at Taemin, who Onew was displeased to see was dressed like the emo kid that vampires so often targeted - and out so late at night. Key scowled, asking Onew, "Who is it?"
"No one." Onew lied. Then Taemin was only a foot away, smiling happily. "Minho's not with you?"
Onew looked horrified at the mention of Minho's name. Key noticed the bandages around Taemin's hand, and laughed out loud. "Sure. He's no one. Jonghyunnie~!"
Taemin looked puzzled between the two, until Onew yelled at him - "Run, damnit!"
The friendly expression melted away, replaced with sudden understanding panic, and as Taemin fortunately took off, Onew tried to jerk away from Key in hopes that he'd been distracted, but instead the point of his dagger slipped into his side.
"Stop it." Key said firmly.
Jonghyun, meanwhile, stepped out, and waited for Key to simply point at Taemin's retreating figure - then he was after him.
"So again, who is he? More importantly, who's Minho?" Key sounded obnoxiously calm.
Onew tried to go the desperate route, and screamed, a sound which was cut short when he felt Key's blade bury into him. It still managed to get attention, but Key laughed as if Onew had just told a joke, and started pulling him towards a car. "Oh my God~!" he exclaimed, "You're so drunk!"
Onew looked around, thinking people would be crazy to actually think that was the problem, but sure enough people were turning their attention away. "Key." Onew whimpered, "It hurts."
"Don't try anything stupid next time." Key said in an unapologetic tone, jerking the backseat of a car door open and "helping" the bleeding Onew inside.
