Onew woke up with a foot on his mouth. Well, actually, there was a packet dripping blood into his mouth, it's just that it was held to it by a clean black boot that was attached to none other than Heechul. Onew scowled, his teeth crushing more into the packet when he did and blood dripping down his cheeks, and he shifted beneath Heechul - who simply applied more strength - and kept Onew's head pinned to the ground.
"Just keep sucking on it for a bit. The other one isn't awake yet."
Onew glanced over, and saw Jonghyun. He realized he was still in his cell, still on the floor. The two of them had just sucked the consciousness out of each other. Jonghyun was covered in blood from messy bites. He only imagined that he was as well. He shifted his eyes back up to Heechul, waiting.
"Siwonnie." Heechul called, and the man stepped into view. Onew narrowed his eyes at him, and Siwon looked nonchalant, saying, "Minho's become brave, hm?"
Instead of being amused that Minho perhaps talked back or even attacked Siwon, in this position Onew was just horrified. Siwon was apparently satisfied with that, giving the slightest hint of a smirk before he took a packet of blood from Heechul and knelt by Jonghyun's side.
Onew sucked his own pack dry out of boredom by the time Jonghyun made a noise. He glanced over, watching him slap Siwon's hand away. "I told you I'm not drinking this leftover shit.."
"What did you two talk about before you tore each other apart, hm?" Heechul asked. He was looking at Jonghyun, and his foot was holding an empty blood packet against Onew's mouth, so it was obvious who was meant to answer.
Jonghyun glared at Heechul, "He didn't tell me shit. Just kill him."
"I'd love to. Doesn't work like that." Heechul glared down at Onew, "You." he moved his foot from his mouth finally, "Speak."
Onew wrinkled his nose, "Why is it you here? It should be someone else."
"It's like I thought." Heechul said, "You want to blame this on Noh."
Onew cringed, squeezing his eyes shut. "Don't.."
"Noh never even met Jonghyun, so don't be ridiculous." Heechul quickly said.
"Is Lee Taemin here?" Onew asked, trying hard to stay focused, "Is Lee Taemin alive?"
"We're talking about your sire, Onew. Not Lee Taemin."
"Answer the question and I'll tell you. Just answer the question."
"He got away." Heechul said, "Happy?"
"Noh..." Onew gulped, and then spoke fast. "He didn't do it. It wasn't him, he had nothing to do with Jonghyun." After all, Taemin was safe because Key gave him an address in exchange for Noh's honor. Besides that, Onew wanted him off the table. He didn't want to remember any more.
"Hmph." Heechul said, "Then what is it? Speak."
"Take me to Minho." Onew demanded, eyes opening.
"Minho tried this." Siwon said, "We don't have to do what you say to make you talk."
"Take me to Minho and I'll talk? Never." Onew said, scowling, "I meant take me to Minho, or I'll kill you."
Siwon's expression darkened. Heechul laughed.
"Threatening to kill us, you think that's gonna make your case look good?"
"I think I'll stand a better chance actually killing you." Onew said seriously.
"Ha." Heechul said, and then stomped down on Onew's shoulder. "Why don't you try it?"
Jonghyun interrupted them, groaning as he sat up, "Will you give it a rest, Heechul?"
When the older vampire looked at him, he just glared up, and stood. "Key's always on and on about The Council, so I know some shit, and one thing is that they wouldn't be cool with you in here acting like this. Yunho was Noh's friend too, wasn't he? He doesn't like Onew, but I don't see him in here taunting him."
Heechul stepped away from Onew, closer to Jonghyun. "That's a threat? You think you can go over my head? Guess again. There is no over my head. You can tell The Council what you want. This isn't some reality show where they can just vote me off."
"Shit." Jonghyun cursed, "There's something in my eye.." he muttered, rubbing a finger over his eyelid.
Onew blinked, looking carefully at Jonghyun and slowly sitting up. Just a second passed before Heechul went off, "Something in your eye!? I'll give you something in your eye--", but Onew ignored it.
"Hey, Onew." Jonghyun had said, "Let's make signals."
The two had just taken a pretty horrible beating before Onew had brought them to the crap hotel room they were in now. Jonghyun was holding a tissue to his nose even as he spoke to stop the blood.
"Signals?" Onew asked, his attention elsewhere, focused out the window at the darkened streets of Seoul.
Jonghyun balled up the tissue he had, tossing it in the tiny trash can nearby. "You said I should have ran. Let's make a signal, you know, it means 'go on without me'."
"That's the most idiotic idea I've ever heard." Onew said, glaring at Jonghyun.
Jonghyun moved to sit on the bed, huffing. "It's not stupid. You needed to tell me that, didn't you? Just be like.. 'There's something in my eye', and I'll know."
"That's even more stupid." Onew replied.
Onew rolled his eyes, and glared from Heechul, to Jonghyun, to Siwon. Jonghyun did have their attention, but why was he covering for him?
Even with such a concern, though, Minho was without him. He couldn't just stick around here doing nothing. He stood up fast, and Siwon was just turning to him as he ran outside the hell. The three were all looking at him when he turned back to push the heavy stone door shut on them.
The door bulged just barely as someone knocked against it, but Onew slammed the several locks on the door into place. The walls of the cells on the hall he was on were so thick they were pretty much sound proof. Onew heard nothing as he turned away from the cell, finally having a look at himself.
He was, as expected, covered in blood. At least, though, he wasn't bleeding. He sighed, and started walking down the familiar hall. The problem was going to be navigating his way to the other several halls. His goal now, wasn't Minho though.
If the two of them were going to escape, he'd have to go to the place Heechul foolishly thought didn't exist - over his head.
