Red Shoes and the 3 Realms

Chapter 18:// His words

Author's POV

"How many more do you see Kook?" Jae spoke and Kook did a quick scan, lifting 3 fingers pointing towards their direction of their exit.

"bow formation. Most likely 2 attackers and 1 decoy" He said.

"count of 3?" and he nodded.

*Warning: violent imagery*

*but try to skim over...some important info ahead as well*

Without uttering another word, both of them stood their ground until the enemies were within their range of attack. With a nod, both of them nodded and charged towards the 3 attackers! Grabbing the tall guard by his forearms, Jae twisted them inwards causing them to dislocate from its socket. Taking advantage of the now limp guard, he thrusted his left elbow him in the tall man's gut, right elbowing his back causing severe yet not so fatal damage to his spine and ending it with a triple blow of his knee to the guard's face leaving a bloody droplets every time he'd retract his leg to gather momentum for the next hit.

The helpless man lifelessly fell to the ground with his broken nose, warm blood continued to ooze out of him as it stained not only the gravel beneath him, but it also stained Jae's not-so-white pants. Not giving a damn about his warm stain, he charged towards the guard who Kook had half taken care of.

"Kook go after the other one. He's headed straight towards Lyn. I'll take care of him!" landing the last satisfying punch to his face, Kook ran towards the guard who was already lifting the unconscious Evelyn by the tree.

"PUT! HER! DOWN!" he said, clenching his fists white. The well-built man looked at Kook, placed Evelyn back where he picked her up from and smirked whilst taking two daggers out from behind him.

"Look at that! Pipsqueak tryna be the hotshot, eh? Let's see what you got"

Cracking his knuckles and neck, Kook took one glance at Evelyn, side-eyeing the guard with a smirk.

He charged towards the larger man, falling to knees, and gliding right between his legs and snatching his blade from the satchel hanging lowly by his waist.

"Pretty sure you didn't see that coming, now did you big boy?" the guard huffed in annoyance and ran straight towards Kook's slender figure, aiming for his face. Kook being the swift and agile self, deflected all his attempts and mirrored them flawlessly opening a gash in the guard's shoulder.

The warm substance poured out making him wince in pain. Out of frustration, the guard went straight past Kook's face, cutting his cheek and eventually slicing through Evelyn's sleeve and her upper arm.

"hehehe...now you've really lost your chance at living. You never aim for the face AND nobody dares to lay a finger on her except me!!" a shadow casted over Kook's eyes making him seem almost unearthly in the dimly lit moonlight as a grin twitched at the corner of his lips.

He dropped his blade low and without a warning stabbed the man in the thigh, creating a large enough opening for the blood to come out with a high enough of pressure that the warm substance hit his hand and then his own leg.

The man wailed in the pain whilst also spitting saliva drops on Kook's face. Raising his bloodied hand to wipe the saliva, he'd also smeared blood on his face. But if you think he was going to leave him here, well you thought wrong.

He took the daggers from the guard's hand and in a split second, he crossed his arms over one another whilst placing the cold blades on the either side of the man's throat.

"I'm not some hotshot. I'm Jeon Jungkook.......and Evelyn Éclair..." Slice! "...belongs to me!" He huffed.

The man's head slowly slid off the neck and falling on the ground with a heavy Thud! But the body was something Kook pushed with his leg.
