Risky Masquerade

"See Jungkook, I was right.
Our trustworthy exorcist has formulated an evil plan!", Namjoon accusingly pointed towards Yoongi who didn't even flinch.

"I was commanded to contain you here.
You shall not exit on my watch.", he spoke.

"And who was commanding you? That high-schooler? You expect us to believe that?", Namjoon crossed his arms. "Spill whatever you have been doing, Yoongi."

Instead of spilling the tea, Yoongi stared outside the small window which gave a full view of the main hall and dance floor. Frightening thunder shook the building, as many high-schoolers fell on their knees. The hall became a junction of apprehension and squalor in seconds.

"What is going on?", Jungkook asked no one in particular as Namjoon gazed out the window. The thunder should have signalled rain outside. What he saw, was rain inside the building. He squinted his eyes, hoping that they hadn't betrayed him.

"Is it raining blood?", Namjoon's voice rose as Jungkook ran towards the window.

"It's a satanic ritual.
The Devil appoints his legion of servants through a blood bath. The Blood of the Devil seeps into their skin as they bruise it, signifying submission and servitude.", Jungkook spoke hurriedly.

"That is what they seem to be doing", Namjoon spoke quietly. "Look-"

The teenagers mechanically whipped swiss knives, carefully drawing lines along their arms as the blood from the rain seeped into their young skins.

"We have to stop them!", Jungkook pushed the door open, shaking the very first kid in sight, trying to drill sense into him. Instead of shuddering awake, the boy flashed his swiss knife at him.

Jungkook gulped.
"We need to get out of here.", he told Namjoon who searched for the exit.

"Where is the door out?", he flailed his arms.

"You see", Yoongi spoke up behind him, "there is only a way in, no way out.", and for the very first time, Yoongi smiled.
