Abducted; Namjin

Chapter Fifty Four

Kim Seokjin

I'm a petty bitch and I am not above acting a fool when I feel it justified. Humph. I really want to go slap Namjoon and knock the controls out of hand just because but because we are laying low for the time being...I will keep my temper in check.
Just barely.
Hoseok stares at me in concern and I know he senses the struggle in me to remain silent and calm when I want to be neither. I haven't seen or spoken to the bastard who's spawn I'm carrying in nearly two days and I really don't want to start now but alas...I'm feeling my options dwindling and will perhaps have to talk to him. I don't want to jeopardize the safety of those I love around me. I'm not that selfish.
     I'm trying not to be. I'm still pissed, though. I can't pretend as well as Hoseok can about the situation.
    Sighing, I brush into the other two and nod towards the planet. We are almost in reach and now it's too late for them to take us back.
     I stretch my legs out more comfortably and yawn. I would be lying if I said I wasn't sore and hurting a bit but I'd never admit it. Nope. Nothing is stopping me from doing this. Jungkook is my friend and I need to make sure he is okay and they aren't just sacrificing him here. I really can't put anything past Namjoon anymore. Who knows?
     Jimin quips. "I think it's safe now."
    I crack my knuckles and stand up, moving to sit behind the captains chair, plopping down rather energetically in spite. Namjoon curses and nearly flips the ship in shock as we all appear.
     Rage and annoyance radiates from the seat in front of me as he swivels in his chair to look at us. "What the hell are you doing here?!" He demands, clearly trying to keep himself in check.
    A sick sense of satisfaction fills me. "You really thought we would let you all go alone without a fight? Of course we would all be coming down." Duh.
    He pinches the bridge of his nose between his fingers in frustration. Blowing out a sharp breath. "Well...at least you have to talk to me now." He laughs humorlessly.
     I scowl.
     Observing him closely, I realize all the damage I did on his body have all but disappeared. The hell? Were all my efforts for nothing? That's disappointing. Am I so weak?
     "Fine. Since you are all already here, I will go over the safety precautions. You will follow them exactly or I will have a soldier immediately send you back as soon as we land." He threatens.
     "We will." Jimin chimes, back to his human form and weirdly looking excited. Practically bouncing up and down in the seat. If I weren't so annoyed perhaps I would be excited as well.
     I frown as Namjoon grabs my hand, looking directly into my eyes. "You will remain by my side the entire time. Not one step. Do you understand?"
     I want to argue but Hobi smacks my arm, glaring at me. I surrender with a huff. "Yeah, fine, but stop touching me."
     Nodding in satisfaction, he releases my wrist and turns back to the controls. We descend quickly down to the base of the planet and the ship turns off.
     Apparently the planet isn't much off from earth and we can breathe the air. That's a relief. Climbing down from the ship, I admire how it feels to actually stand in dirt and feel fresh wind on my face and sunshine from above heating my skin.
    The ocean waves are loud and vast around us as I take in the small island we are standing on. Surrounded completely by water on all sides far as the eye  can see. It's peaceful. If only it weren't populated with nightmare fuel monsters.
     Speaking of...
     A loud hissing sound fills our ears making us turn. My heart about drops as I take in the gigantic monster slithering high over the trees towards us.
     Terrified, I clutch Hobi and force us behind Namjoon. It can eat him while we escape...
     The snake stops in front of our ground, swiveling it's massive head between us and the other ship landing not too far off.
     It's body slinks low to the ground, closer to our level.
    I just about piss myself.
    To be fair...the baby has bladder issues. It's not me.
     "Ssssseee...you've...arrivvvved...ssssafffely." It hisses.
     Namjoon nods. "Yes, thank you for allowing us access to your world. We will not be here long. We'd like to see your King and his queen."
     I pay attention as the snake licks around it's fangs larger than my head. Dripping with clearly toxic venom. It nods. "Takkkee cauttttion not to ttttouch anything here." It warns. "Mossst are deadly to yooouuu."
    Noted.
    We begin trailing behind the snake as it slithers ahead at a much slower pace than it came. We walk about two or three miles before it stops and motions to the left.
     I vaguely can see a huge cave carved out of a massive cliff face in the distance. Hmm.
    "Our King ressssides in there. There issss a latter he hasss fastened for you to climb inssside." And with that, the massive snake turns right and disappears way too fast.
     "Did we just get ditched?" Hobi asks, pale and shaking. "N-not that I wanted him to stay but still."
     Jimin tilts his beastly head to the side before treading forward carefully. We follow after him. Hoseok moves ahead as I slow, my side hurting and feet in agony. Everything hurts.
     I can't stop. I really don't want to slow the others but I also can't be caught alone out here. I'm not that stupid.
     "Here." Namjoon strides forward and grabs me, slinging me carefully across his back. I let out a shocked breath and hold on despite myself.
     "I don't need you to carry me! Put me down!"
     He doesn't stop, instead picks up speed. "Don't fight. This is dangerous territory and we can not let our guard down. Hate me later, Jin." He sighs. "But I will keep you and our child safe whether you like it or not."
     I pout but don't argue. I really am tired. I notice that Namjoon isn't just staring ahead but specifically at Hoseok's back.
     Does he feel remorse for what he did? Does he want to apologize? Does he want to touch him again? Why does that thought keep flickering in my head—and at this time?!
    There! I'll admit that deep down I secretly think it wasn't a mistake. The Namjoon did it on purpose and wants to do it again. Am I fucked up for wondering if Hoseok got over it so fast because maybe...he did want it?
     No, of course he didn't. That was obvious. I'm being ridiculous right now.
     I hate myself.
     I'm shocked as stop suddenly and Namjoon places me back down on the ground. I stare up in horror the long rope ladder leading up the cliff face. It didn't look so high from miles back.
     Holy fuck! The cliff is miles straight up the mountain. I can't climb anywhere near half this stupid thing! I'll die of exhaustion for sure.
     I feel a presence behind me and turn to see the other soldiers led by Taehyung. He doesn't look happy as he pets Jimin's head. Although it's clear he's pissed, he doesn't say anything. Just simply turns towards Namjoon for orders.
     Namjoon sighs. "We climb."
     Oh, so this is how I die. Fall from a cliff. There are worse ways to go I guess but still. Better than Hoseok's fear or being eaten alive, too. I'll take it.
    I move forward but Namjoon's hand slams into my chest, stopping me. I look at him.
    "Here." He holds out his arms as I look on in confusion.
    "Here what?"
    Sighing, he tugs me forward and forces me up into his arms. I lock my legs around his waist and arms around his neck in surprise. "What are you doing?"
    "You can not climb this. Hold on to me."
    "Why can't I ride on your back." Annoyed having to be face to face with him closely like this for who knows how long.
     He gives me a look of amusement. "You can hold on to my back for that long? This way I can keep you safe against the ladder rails while climbing. It's too dangerous for you behind me."
    Whatever. Who cares about his stupid logic. I look back at Hoseok who I realize is being forced onto Jimin. The cute beastly winks at us as he begins taking the ladder easily while Hoseok clings to his front much like I am. Well, okay then.
     I keep forgetting Jimin can run circles around us on his worst day with his boundless energy. He can make this trip up easily as well as hold Hoseok no problem. Taehyung goes after them then up we go with the other soldiers following behind us.
     I hate this. I hate that my body finds comfort in Namjoon's scent. I hate that I feel warm and safe in his arms. I hate that I can't complain or even argue. I can only stew silently in my anger and irritation.
     Am I being too much? I don't know what I'm supposed to do or feel or say. Namjoon doesn't talk to me, doesn't force me to look at him or reply. He just silently climbs, keeping me safe and comfortable all the while.
     It's a lot, I know. I can feel how much effort he's exerting by his sweat. My arms tighten around him. I have to admit even if I weren't pregnant and at my peak, I'd never be able to climb something this high. Never. I'm only human. Even the strongest of marines would probably struggle with this.
     I hope all of this is worth it.
     Not wanting to look down, I bury my face in his neck and just hold on.

     I fucking fell asleep. How? You tell me. I woke up to Namjoon sitting me down against a cool rock wall. Rubbing my eyes blearily, I look around and notice a decent little set up. It's more than I'd expected but then again—Yoongi is King here.
    What's truly shocking is seeing Yoongi—the a Yoongi we've been used to seeing. The humanoid version. He stands poised and calm as Namjoon steps forward. They exchange words while I seek out the most important thing—where's Jungkook?!
     There!
     I find him standing beside Hoseok and Jimin. He doesn't look distressed or hurt. He looks embarrassed for some reason. I notice his huge stomach and nearly puke. Will mine be that big?!
     No. No. No way. Jungkook is carrying demon spawns of Yoongi. There's no way mine would be like that. I shudder at the thought.
     No way, right?
     His stomach looks half his weight. So heavy. How is he still walking? It's horrifying. Like how you'd imagine an alien spawn impregnating you and shit. Just ready to tear you apart when it's ready. A cold chill runs down my back.
     Stop it. He looks fine and he's even smiling at Hoseok. He's okay. It's fine. Stop overthinking!
     I happen to glance at Yoongi and notice him smirking at me. Can he read my mind? Holy shit.
     Namjoon and his men walk around the cave and over to Jungkook while I stand frozen alone with Yoongi. His snake eyes take me in and he licks his bottom lip. Almost slithering closer to me in a very much unnatural way. I think I'm going to pass out...
     "Be well." He clamps a hand tightly over my shoulder and I swallow hard at how cold his fingers are. Nearly penetrating my skin.
     "I'm w-well." Stuttering. Can you blame me?!
     He laughs softly, moving his head closer to me. "You friend is perfectly safe with me. I will make him happy and content. You would be worried for yourself." His eyes twinkle in a way I very much do not like.
      "Myself?" I  blurt out. Captured by his gaze.
      He nods, lowering his mouth to my ear. "You will not be returning to your ship. You should prepare yourself for that outcome."
     I'm frozen in shock as he walks away. The fuck does that mean! Does he mean I'm going to die here? I'm going to be abandoned? What the...now I really have to pee.
     I'm scared.
     No. Namjoon wouldn't let me die or be left here. No way. So what does he mean? Is he just messing with me? But why? Ugh. I hate snakes! He's just doing this to mess with me for sure. Right?
      He's not going to kill me, right? Or keep me as a human pet?
     I think I'm ready to leave now. Jungkook looks fine.
     Where did Namjoon go?
