14 - Provocation

I was walking next to the female Other. They had put this sort of handcuffs on me but they weren't the ones I knew from our earth, so I guessed it was something they brought with them.

It didn't have a lock or a key but it was activated by something else, what it was I didn't know. Which also made it that I had no idea how to undo myself of it. The leader was walking in front of us.

He was obviously pissed at the girl, as he didn't really look at her anymore since their argument, so I was wondering what that was about.

I saw the guy still had the device in his hand so I thought I'd try something.

     'What's your name?' I asked in mylanguage hoping that the little translating device would do its thing. It didand this alien language came out. 

Both of them stopped walking for a moment.

The girl looked at me and spoke. My eyes diverted to the device

     'My name is Zhora'

I smiled, I don't know why, maybe because after spending more than a day with this girl and actually bonding I finally knew her name.

I laid my hand on my chest to introduce myself as well 'I am y/n'

Her eyes also lit up as the device translated what I just said, and I knew she was smiling as well under her mask.

Zhora said something and I looked in anticipation at the little box in the other person's hand 

    'he is my brother, Taehyung' 

I looked up at the guy and for a moment I thought he looked back at me in wonder, but then his eyes diverted down and he said something.

     'That's enough'

and he shut the device off.

I exchanged a glance with Zhora. In all honesty, I also wasn't going to act like I wanted to know him, he might have been the one that hurt Yoongi for all I know.

After some time of walking, I noticed two guys in the distance. It seemed it was from their group as we continued walking their way. One of the guys ran towards us and in a way, I was worried he would go straight for my neck but he didn't.

He stopped in front of Zhora, they leaned forwards in a way that their foreheads were touching each other 

He then looked at me and there was this hate visible in his body language. He stepped towards me which made me step backwards. Before he could reach me though, zhora had grabbed his wrist and she said something.

It was frustrating that I had no idea what she was saying but it almost seemed like she was defending me again. She even took the tube of cream out of her bag to explain something.

His gaze went from me, back to her, and back to me again.

His eyes went from angry to sad, the way someone would look when they felt betrayed.

The other guy just stared at me. Taehyung said something in their alien language and everyone started walking again. 

We arrived at a big house. It was pretty strange because in a way they started to seem so similar to us, walking around, taking shelters in big houses, their personal relationships with each other. In the house there were an additional seven guys, they all were super alerted when I stepped in.

Taehyung explained something to them and some of them eased up but not all of them and they certainly didn't look very happy with my arrival.

Zhora entered my room,

     'you okay?' she asked, this time she had her own little device with her.

I shrugged 'I am not sure, will I survive the day?' I asked her, her eyes widened by my direct question.

     'You will, we won't hurt you.'

      'Who were those boys that found us? friends of your brother?'

To be honest I was mainly interested in what their connections to each other were.  

     'Jimin and the other one is Jungkook'

       'and Jimin is your partner?' I asked

       'Soulmate' she answered 'we call them soulmates'

       'We have that word too but it is a pretty heavy term' I explained to her.

       'He is angry with me because I ran away...They all thought your group abducted me'

Now I understood why that guy wanted to attack me even though I was tied in their weird chains. He thought I abducted his soulmate. It's also painful to learn she actually ran away from him. Maybe that's also why they were running so much after me when I hid in the tree, they thought I knew where she was.

      'oh,' I only let out. 'What are the names of the other 7 guys, they seem younger?' I asked

Before Zhora could even answer there was another voice and Taehyung entered my room. He stared at me and I waited for him to say something first.

      'Zhora leave, I want to speak to our captive alone' 

That certainly was a way less nice term. Zhora did as her brother asked her to and left the room.

      'Why did you help my sister?' he asked without any introductions.

       'Why did she help me?' I answered back, deliberately not answering his question. That seemed to trigger him.

       'That's not an answer'

       'Neither is yours' I replied, I was pretty much aware of how annoying I was but if he was going to interrogate me I'd better make clear I won't talk.

       'Fine, you can ask me a question and I will answer but can you then answer mine?' He asked.

I thought about it and then I thought of the one thing that had been on my mind since day 1, one question I had so often discussed with Namjoon but we simply couldn't find an answer.

      'Why did you invade our planet and destroy our lives without any provocation?'

After the device translated the question Taehyung tensed up completely.

     'You think that is what happened?'

It was clear that he was upset.

      'Why wouldn't I? I saw it myself' I answered also upset remembering the day they suddenly appeared and dropped bombs on us.

       'Our planet was dying. We were looking for refuge, finding a planet to find shelter on, yours was the first one that seemed habitable for our kind. We sent out a group to talk with your leaders and your people decided to capture and experiment on them! They took them apart while they were still alive. You still think we didn't have any provocation from your side?!'

I sat dumbfounded. unable to say anything.

If it wasn't for the fact he was so undoubtedly upset about this I'd say he was lying for sure but now I had my doubts,

Was it possible that our governments kept this from us?

      'You're lying' I answered but I recognized that my voice wasn't too convincing either.

He shook his head 'you are going to act like you didn't know?'

      'No, I don't even know if I believe you!' I exclaimed unsettled

He stood up and without a word he walked out.

My head was spinning with thoughts, I couldn't believe his story.

I couldn't.

Soon after the door opened again and Taehyung stormed back in
