XXIII :: Pacific Princess

(Namjoon's POV)

The boys shrieked as they sinked in the floor beneath their feet. Unaware of anything, I noticed Jin Hyung trying to save them, however, that only resulted him to tumble down with them.

Apparently they stood on another trap door that couldn't bear the load over it. The door locked abruptly, as fast as it had opened.

"Jin Hyung?!" I placed my head on it and knocked on the door.
"Namjoon?" He responded back.
"Yes! You okay?" I said.
"Yes but Y/n has blacked out. We can't open this shit trap."

"What? How will you get to us?"
"I don't know. Remember Archi explaining us the roads? This one is the right maze. Our maze will open in the library. Walk ahead and reach the end exactly how Archi had said."

"Okay! But you'll be able to get out right?"
"Yes! Don't waste your time. I'll get moving with her."
"Okay..."

"Move ahead." Jin, Jimin,Taehyung and Hoseok were with Y/n and Yoongi, Jungkook and I had to reach out.

"But..." Said Jungkook.
"I believe in Hyung. He'll get them out. We need to find Archi." I said.

We were running towards nowhere but with a vague idea about the path.

It was hard to believe where exactly my feet were leading me. Yoongi and Jungkook let themselves be dependent on me. And my hopes rested on Jin Hyung.

"Where to go?" Asked Jungkook as he stood infront of the first division.

"When we jumped down the trap door, it was different. There was that echo room but that trap door started near the window and this one near the door.

According to that calculation, this wall should be common to that room. In that case, the road should be the left tunnel. The right should be the dead end." I mentally calculated the grid of the house.

"Okay, left." Said Yoongi. We speeded our feet through the left tunnel which should be  longer.

"Nggh..." We heard a whimpering cry as we reached the door to the echoe room. The cry was coming from further more ahead.

In an instance we recognised the voice to be Archi's. We looked at eachother and gathered our courage to proceed ahead because we had no second option than to face what awaited for us, even if that was the spawn of Satan, himself.

"Ummh!" We spotted the blue shirt that was sitting in a lumped fetus position, clenching their arm.

"Go ahead." Jungkook pushed me. I turned to look at his face with my own freaked face.

I reached the ravenette with messy long hair. The face immediately looked up at me and in a fraction of second attacked me with a big knife.

"Stop! Stop! Archi!" I screamed. Archi had grasped my neck with her knife right on top of my chest.

"Namjoon?" She had blood on her hands and face. Her eyes looked raged up. Her overall look gave me the impression of that one forgotten lady samurai, adrift in the sea of exasperation. That one calm beauty who was once a princess and now an assassin, like the Pacific. Pacific Princess.

"Yah!" The boys ran to me as they saw the woman on me. She subconsciously turned her knife towards them and gripped my neck, harder but with care.

They backed with in shock. I placed my hands on her shoulder and pulled her hand off my neck.

Her bloodshot eyes looked at the three of us with utmost attention and finally relaxed as she recognised us.

I took out my handkerchief from my pocket and smudged off some of the bloody stains on her face.
