72 HOURS (a BTS horror au)

CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

Time remaining; 68 hours and 2 minutes...

Your POV

This plan can either go very well or dangerously bad. Starting a fire when you have no idea which way is up, down, left or right, can end badly for you and your friends.

But it's the only plan you have.

They gave you 72 hours to find your way out, you've been wandering around for only 4 hours. You look down at your watch to see 68 flashing on the screen. You only have 68 hours remaining before the collar around your next blows your head off.

You can feel the drugs pulsing through you as you struggle to help Jisoo through a random door. Jimin's screams finally faded and you hope that he's dead.

One down, six to go.

You can feel the bile rise up your throat at the thought of having to kill someone, but you knew you have no choice. You have to fight back, for yourself and your friends.

You need to find Mark and Lucas before the boys do. Then you need to get to an area with exits then and only then can you start the fire.

It's dangerous and stupid but it's also your only shot.

As you stumble through the door, you find yourself in a normal-looking hallway. Almost similar to the front entryway when you first entered the mansion. A grand staircase lead upwards while different halls ran in different directions.

You stare at the stairs, up is what you need, up is your freedom. You look down at the half-conscious Jisoo next to you. You and her can get out of here, as long as they lead straight up you and her can escape.

But Mark and Lucas...

With a sigh, you fight the urge to jump up the stairs, you can't leave your friends behind. They both are waiting on you, and Jisoo is relying on you. You turn away from what could possibly be your only escape and help Jisoo to her feet.

"Come on, let's find the boys" you whisper.

"Aw, are the little girls missing their friends?" A slow, almost taunting voice echoes the hallways. You and Jisoo freeze and you scan the area looking for the person. Only to see dancing shadows along the walls, the drugs causing you to be delirious.

"Who's there?" you ask, moving closer to Jisoo.

"Why don't you escape? hmm?" the same voice asks. "You're so close to escaping, just up the little steps, and I'll even let you keep that dead thing as well!" he laughs.

You tighten your grip on Jisoo. "Come out of your hiding spot, you coward," you say. Your other hand holding onto the bloody knife.

Laughter echoes the large area as you see movement out of the corner of your eye. Jungkook slowly steps through a doorway, his eyes dark and cold as he stares at you. "You use such hateful words," he hums. 

You step back, your head pounding how long do you have left before the drugs fill your entire system? "Where are my friends?" You ask, narrowing your eyes as you watch his silhouette move around.

"How should I know?" Jungkook asks. "I've been a little busy with chasing two little mice, and cleaning up their messes" he turns to look at the door you had just gone through.

"You know something" you mutter.

Jungkook tilts his head "I may, I may not" he riddles out. 

"Tell me what you do know." You stagger back as he steps towards you. 

"I know you're itching to climb those stairs." His eyes glance to the stairs behind you before focusing back on you. "I know you want to go, to leave this place behind." He continues to walk towards you.

With each step he took toward you, you took two steps back. You can feel your grip on Jisoo loosening and you fear you don't have much time left before the drugs take over.

"Why don't you?" he asks, startling you. "Why don't you go up them, forget about your friends and run up those stairs like a child running from the monsters in the dark." His cold voice is lined with humour.

"I won't-" you pause, trying to regain your breath. "-leave them." you finish. 

"Why not, they are just.....dead weight" he cackles at his joke.

Your heart throbs as you realize Mark and Lucas have been caught. Did they not make it outside of the room? Did Mark bleed out? You did your best to patch him up. You bite your lower lip as you weakly hold onto Jisoo. 

Will she blame you? For her boyfriend's death? Is Lucas dead? Or did they escape and all of this is just to lure you away from them? 

Jungkook took a few steps towards you, waking you up from your daydream. You stagger back, holding the knife up in front of you. "You don't need your friends." he continues to talk, acting like he doesn't see the knife. "They only cause you trouble" he taunts. 

Sudden footsteps echo the room but you can't figure out if they belong to Jungkook or if someone else entered the room. "This could all end now if you only walked up those steps," he says. "You can be free."

Your gaze turns to the stairs right by you, Jisoo is unable to go up them. Even with your help, it'll be near impossible with the amount of wounds she has. You have no idea if she's even conscious right now. "No." You say firmly. 

You tear your eyes away from what could have been your escape and stare at Jungkook who had moved closer to you. You won't abandon your friends. you can't even be sure if those stairs lead to your escape. 

Namjoon is most likely heavily injured or even dead with his entire library collapsing on him. Jimin is dead after being eaten by the fire. That's two down, which means there are five men left. 

You glance down at Jisoo's watch, you still have just over two days remaining to escape. With five men hunting you, it'll be difficult. If you can injure them enough or trap them, it'll help in your escape. 

"What are you thinking about so heavily?" Jungkook whispers. He's standing right in front of you. 

Startled you swing the knife upwards. Your body is overheating, and pools of sweat drip down your face as you can feel the last of your energy slipping away. You lose your strength and Jisoo falls to the ground next to you. You breathe out heavily as you back away only for strong arms to wrap around you and hold you tight against their chest. 

Looking up in shock you see Jin staring down at you, a smile on his face "You're tired" he says. "Gp to sleep."

As if your body was waiting for that command you feel your consciousness slipping and you fall weak in Jin's arms. You can feel your body being picked up as he holds your bridal style. "I had her," Jungkook says, in a pouting manner.

"You were taking to long." Jin simply replies. "You had to get her, not play with her. We can't risk her escaping. Not after how long it took her to come here." 

As Jin spoke you slowly fell asleep, the drugs finally kicking in.
