DOLL [vmin]

11: chest

It was almost midnight. or well, jimin had the idea it was. he hadn't really checked the time yet. The boy had gotten bored waiting in the bedroom for the morning so he decided to continue his search to wherever the key fit into which he had found in the garden. It was tough because the house had many doors and chests but it already had a key inside, and which that didn't have one the key didn't fit.

"la la library~" Jimin sang as he walked into the big library, he hadn't been here yet. there must be at least something where he can try the key to. Jimin was doing his best to avoid the doll but it was quite difficult as it was like an infection, everywhere was a doll. in each room, each corner. besides his room then, in his room were no doll..excluding himself.

*tap tap tap tap tap tap* alarmed, Jimin turned around and saw a doll behind him. Jimin walked backwards keeping an eye on the doll that was standing in the doorway, he heard its steps, as soon he turned around it of course didn't move. but jimin was sure it moved, there was no way he did not see a doll right in the doorway where he just entered. "stop" he said at the doll before turning around, but he yelped when he saw a doll's hand extended in his face like he was trying to grab him. "ah!" He took a step back and the doll fell forward, falling on the ground. Jimin saw the head had cracked, but he couldn't care less. In his eyes all these dolls should die, they all should be shattered into pieces.

He hated them, just as much as the dolls hated him.

"die" he mumbled at it before having it out of his way with his foot. He continued his way glancing behind him from time to time to make sure there was nothing following or moving behind him....you never know.

"Treasuree, where are you?~" the boy sang, he enjoyed singing a lot he realised he couldn't sing out of tune in this doll, probably because he was just a spirit without an actual breath. He wanted to sing and dance more. he wanted to perform for Taehyung. a man who looked at him with such interest when he performed for the man who was his only audience. He wanted to see it again, he wanted to see it always, forever.

Jimin saw a door and hurried to it. It did have a keyhole but it looked way too big. even so he tried it and still felt disappointed when it obviously didn't fit. He did come to wonder what was behind the door. it was locked but there was no key inside. he have to remember to ask Taehyung about it when the sun rises. He sighed and hid the key back in his pocket continuing to walk, he didn't have a light with him. His eyes were used to see well in the dark from the years he had spent in the pitch dark cell in the basement. He did prefer light though, he had enough of darkness. He didn't want to live in the shadows anymore trapped forever in the hole he was stuck in.

Taehyung saved him, he will never leave taehyung he chuckled, taehyung was his saviour. He will do everything for him...everything.

Suddenly a strange feeling went through Jimin. He felt a rather hot air go through his shell. He halted in his steps, the air was different here, he felt the air move. something was moving nearby giving strange vibrations through the air. Jimin turned his head, his glass based eyes scanning the bookshelf next to him, there was nothi-wait....he saw something, there was an empty spot between the books, he tapped the wood of the shelf, it was hollow? with his nails he scratched the top and bottom trying if he maybe could open it somewhere but it didn't wor-"oh it opened?" he mumbled when suddenly the back of the shelf fell forward revealing a small gap in the wall. It looked like someone hit it into the stones and tried to hide it with the bookshelf.

With a hesitant hand he reached in the hole and his hands touched something. now inserting both hands he took out a kinda small box. it was made from dark wood with golden decorations on the corner and edges. "ohh, pretty" he said and turned it around there was a hold for a key. Immediately Jimin thought of the key he had, was this where it would fit? He was about to reach in his pocket when he heard something. He turned around but saw nothing. Where was the noise coming from? it was like someone was bumping on the wall, it wasn't loud. it sounded like it was far away but jimin heard it close, really close. Confused he listened near the shelf and the ground but it was not there. then his eyes fell onto the chest. Jimin put the chest to his ear. did he hear something? did he hear it right? he listened closely and frowned, he heard 'bathum...bathum'. Jimin reached in his pockets and took out the key he had looking at the hole it could maybe fit into. he placed the box on the messy table and insert the key, he turned it..

*click*

"oh-" Jimin was surprised it fit, he got more excited, he was gonna find out what kind of treasure he found. He slowly opened the lid...he expected maybe jewelry or something of value....but not...this. with a gasp the boy stumbled back on his ass, shock washing over him.
