Ally lets a sigh, laying her back against the cave wall. Her shoulder has been bandage now, but Minho feels bad about her being injured. She has already told him multiple time that she is okay and that it will heal. He only pouts, looking the other way.

They have been in the cave for about two hours now, waiting until the coast is fully clear. She closes her eyes, feeling herself start to doze off. The others quietly talk among themselves while she sleeps.

-

"She detected them before they even reached us. She truly is different," Minho remarks, glancing over to the sleeping girl. Out of the corner of his eye, Hoseok stands up and walks over to her. He sits down next to the girl, placing her head onto his shoulder so she would be comfortable.

Minho smiles softly then looks at the other two. "Anything from Namjoon or Yoongi?" Jimin shakes his head, chewing on his bottom lip. He slides his phone out, seeing the notification on the screen.

RM Hyung: Jungkook is awake. He's in pain he will be okay.

A smile lights up his face and he hands the phone to Minho. The older smiles as well, a bit of tension leaving his shoulders. "Ji young, is everything clear out there?" The elder sighs, his back against the wall as he concentrates on the energy of others outside of the cave. "For now, yes. We need to go."

The others all nod in agreement. Hoseok gets up and bends down to carefully pick Ally up. She doesn't wake up, her head laying on his chest now. Minho and Jimin take the horses outside, the silver haired one following after. He hands Ally over to Minho. The red knight holds her close, waiting for the other two to get on their horse. "Be careful," the Cheshire Cat gives them warning, nodding at them before disappearing. "I'll be close by." His voice is heard all around them before they take off into the trees.

-

Twilight is starting to settle in. The faint glimmer of stars up above start to show. Ally has yet to wake up, making all of the others start to get worry. Minho gently nudges the horse to go faster. The creature seems to sense the urgency, trotting along a bit faster. The gates up ahead start to come in view. Once they are close enough, the drawbridge starts to lower down. It forms a bridge of sorts over the river that runs below them.

They lead the horses to go over it and make their way onto the territory. They were now behind the gates of the Red Hearts.

-
"The others are here."

The red king nods, standing up from his throne and heads to the front to greet them. What he doesn't expect to see is Minho carrying a passed out Ally. He raises an eyebrow, expecting answers.

Minho sighs, adjusting the girl in his arms as he steps inside the throne room. "She was shot. She protected me and took the hit instead." The king lets out a sigh as well, leading the way to the infirmary. The two twins are sitting up in their beds, talking to one another. Jungkook doesn't seem like he was hurt just a few days ago. A smile is present on his face as he speaks to his Hyung, his bunny tooth smile wide. The two go silent when they see Ally brought into the room.

"What happened to her?!" Taehyung is the first to ask, worried. Minho explains once more what happened as he lays her down onto one of the beds. One of the medical staff checks her wound, making sure it didn't get infected on the way to the kingdom. The red knight releases a tired sigh, sitting down into a chair. "Hyung is going to kill me," he lets out a breath. A chuckle escapes the king and he sits down on the bed beside Jungkook. "Which one?"

"Both. They will take turns." He lets out a groan, running a hand down his face. "I haven't even told them yet. Once they find out, they will be grabbing a horse and heading over here." The king lets out a snort shifting his eyes over to the girl. "She will be okay. You need to relax." Jungkook scoots over, laying his chin on the older's right shoulder. "Why did she come with you guys?"

Minho looks over to the youngest. "To make sure you were okay, Kookie." He smiles a little but looks at the girl with a sad frown. "But now she's hurt."

Yoongi pats the younger's thigh and gives him a small smile. "She will be okay. All of you need to calm down."

-

Soft voices. That is the first thing she hears as she starts to open her eyes. The sunlight fills the room, making her realize it was a new day and it was no longer raining outside. She slowly sits up, feeling groggy from being asleep for so long.

"Ally! You're awake!" She is tackled in a hug by Jungkook, his arms carefully wrapping around her waist and pulling her in for a hug. She lets out a groan, pushing the bunny like human away. "Too loud, Jungkookie." He pulls away and gives her a smile.

"I'm just happy you're okay

"I'm just happy you're okay." She smiles back and sits up to lean back against the pillows. "I'm glad you're okay too, Jungkook." He nods, moving to give her space. The two talk for a little while, giving her something to do for now.

Time clicks by slowly. Eventually, the sound of the others coming into the room brings their attention to them. One of the tall ones gives her a smile, two dimples appearing as he does. "You're finally awake."

Thunder rolls through the skies every once in a while. The halls are deadly silent. Not even the smallest of creatures roams the floors. Sudden footsteps are heard.

The sound of shoes hitting the floor with each step echoes throughout the halls. It makes the man who is in one of the rooms tighten his hands into fists. He lets out a shaky breath, his eyes going to the door that will soon open. The same treatment each and every day. His only hope is that the other members are well. He hopes the rest of the idols are safe too.

"Hello Jinki."

The villain walks into the room, the door closing behind them. They walks over, pulling their same chair out and sits down. They cross one leg over the other and a sinister smirk forms over their face.

"I really don't see the point of this," the leader states, lifting a hand up to wipe some blood from the corner of his lips.

They laugh shortly, sitting back and shrugging. "It's all fun in the game."
