50 The door slammed open.
Onew was back.
Apparently Siwon wasn't concerned. He pressed his hand to the back of Minho's head, pulling him deeper into their kiss. If the kiss wasn't uncomfortable before.. Onew was pissed, and Minho could feel it almost as much as the panic inside of him. But if he acted on that anger, Siwon would kill him..
Still, he couldn't help the oncoming sneeze. Since he wasn't able to pull backwards, he just turned his head to the side.
"A-choo!"
Siwon, startled and apparently concerned there was snot on him, pushed him away. So Minho ran, jumping over the bed and into Onew's arms. The vampire was freezing cold, but he clung tightly onto him, and Onew wrapped his arms around him - clinging back.
"If you wanted him, you should have bit him. It's the only way he'd even consider wanting you."
"He would have chose me over his death, if you hadn't just destroyed that option for him."
"I will never let you kill him."
"He'll die when you do."
"The Council wouldn't let you kill me.."
"If I had it my way, do you honestly think you'd be given death?"
"The Council told him to kill you." Minho said quietly.
"You need to hold on," Onew said to Minho in a whisper. "Tight."
Minho looked over his shoulder to see Siwon rushing towards them. Onew scooped him up into his arms, and he tightly held his arms around his vampire's neck. Then, they were running. Minho felt like they were moving fast, but he kept his eyes tightly shut, so it was hard to say. They were going downstairs, and footsteps were loud behind them.
"How can we get away from him?" Minho asked Onew.
After a moment of the vampire's silence, he yelled, "You don't have a plan again!" Honestly, it's not like anyone normal could think of a plan so suddenly, but Minho didn't think the situation to be very sudden at all, as often as he'd worried it would happen. Onew could have, at least, had a back up plan.
"Until you have a plan, shut up."
"Can't you fight him?" And that had been Minho's plan. Onew fights, he hopefully runs and hides until it's over.
"He's fighting to the death. I can't win. And why were you making out with him?"
"Door!"
Minho had to let go of Onew with one arm to push it open, but he still slammed into it before Onew jerked his way through it. Minho quickly grabbed onto him once again. It was freezing outside, especially to Minho in his less than warm clothing. He breathed smoke, and then hid his face in Onew's shoulder.
"I know where to go." Onew said.
Minho would have liked to feel comfortable hearing that, but he lifted his head and saw Siwon running much too close behind them. "He's going to catch us. He's faster than you."
"We're not far. Just hold on."
Minho looked to see where they were going, finding himself rather alarmed to see that it was straight into the middle of the road. He squeezed Onew's neck, hiding his face once again, until they paused, and he heard the screeching of a car slamming on brakes.
Minho lifted his head, and a poor woman in a green car was getting out with a horrified expression. "Are you okay!?"
It was amazing she managed to be concerned, because Onew was stalking fast towards her. He put Minho down and shoved him towards the driver's seat. "Drive to the hospital."
"H-hold on.." the woman was saying, but Minho wasn't hesitating. He pulled the door shut after he got in the seat, and Onew was holding the woman off until Siwon grabbed his arm. Still, Minho shifted out of park and weighed his foot down on the gas, hands shaking at the wheel.
He wasn't far at all when Onew jumped onto the back of the vehicle. The banging sound made him jump out of his skin, but he looked over his shoulder and sighed in relief to see Onew just being a crazy, riding on the outside of a vehicle.
He slowed down and looked straight ahead. There was plenty of traffic in Seoul that he had to worry about. Driving, with all the stopping he'd have to do, was probably not the best plan Onew could have come up with. Still, for now the car could move at a steady place.
The back window busted in, and Onew rolled through it into the backseat. "That was close." the vampire said.
"I thought I was going to die." Minho breathed for what felt like the first time since they left the apartment, though it obviously wasn't. ".. And we stole a car."
"Life or death situation. Get in the passenger's seat. I'm taking over."
Minho's eyes widened. "How?"
"Just move. Fast."
Minho practically threw himself from the driver's seat, finding himself awkwardly positioned in the passenger's seat as Onew took his place. The car swerved during the switch, but at least stayed on the road and didn't hit anything. Minho was just moving to sit properly when Onew spoke again, "Are you okay?"
"I'm freezing." Minho said, closing his eyes. "I'm so tired... we're not going to the hospital because of me, right?"
"We're not going to the hospital at all. I said that to throw him off. He was listening to everything we said, you know."
"Then where are we going?"
"To another country. To another council. Do you have a passport?"
"It's at home."
"Then that's where we'll start."
