22 - Be Our Leader

I didn't say anything, I had a fear he might be talking about y/n. Though there were many other humans out there so the chances were still small.

As a response to my silence Seung Cheol continued

      'it was a female one, she was by herself'

My heart dropped as I now was pretty sure he was talking about y/n.

      'okay' I said trying to steady my voice, trying not to show any sort of sign that I knew who he was talking about.

      'you haven't seen her?'

I shook my head 'no'

He hummed 'It was interesting...' he paused 'she was carrying a translation device with her. Would you happen to know anything about that?'

I again shook my head 'as I said, we haven't seen her so I don't know how she got it'

     'then I am sure she took it from our two men when she killed them.'

      'no' I let out, immediatelyregretting it. 

      'no?' Seung Cheol asked suspiciously

      'I mean, she is a girl alone like you said? how would she kill two of your trained men?'

      'she seemed quite resourceful as she already escaped us. but mark my words, I will find her and I will make her suffer'

A shiver went up my spine, the image of y/n in the hands of this psychopath was too gruesome.

       'Shouldn't you also soon be reporting to my father? Isn't it a waste of time to focus on one single human being?'

Seung Cheol stepped closer narrowing his eyes 'why would you care that we hunt this human?'

      'I don't, I am just saying it would be a waste of your time' I answered more confidently

he scoffed 'something seems off'

     'Yes you' Zhora answered with spite

      'always so feisty, that's why I like you' he smirked

      'Can't say the same' my sister said without any emotion.

Seung Cheol rolled his eyes

        'anyways, this was fun, but we are going back to finding this human now. Apparently you don't know what we are talking about'

he said it in such a way it was obvious that he didn't believe me

      'good luck' I answered

We walked on as if nothing happened, mainly in order not to stand out to Seung Cheol. I saw a supermarket and I told the group I had to go in for a moment. 

I acted all calm but I was feeling far from calm. y/n was out there and Seung Cheol was hunting her, him and his group of 14. She would never stand a chance. Yes she could run away and I was happy to hear she had been successful at it, but she can't outrun all of them forever. Especially not if finding her has become his main focus.

I grabbed some supplies and while doing so I heard a voice behind me.

     'What are you doing?' Jungkook asked and I turned around

      'I have to find her before they do!' I said with an urgency, finally letting my stress out.

      'You can't leave us, are you seriously going to abandon your own kind for her?' he asked indignantly

       'Are you asking me to leave her to die?' I replied

       'I am asking you to be our leader'

That hit me, I was their leader. Finding y/n meant leaving those responsibilities.

I shook my head

       'You know how Seung Cheol is, when he sets his mind onto something he will not stop before he succeeds. They will find her and they will kill her. I cannot let that happen'

The image of y/ns dead cold body sent a panic again through my body.

Jungkook sighed 'then I am coming with you'

I stared at him, there was a silence as I wasn't too sure what to say.

        'and us as well' Zhora said as she appeared with Jimin next to her.

I shook my head 'I can't ask you to do this, you should join Jungwon towards my father. You should stick together'

      'I care for her too' my sister said.

        'We will only split up until we find her. We can meet the others at our fathers headquarters' she continued.

I explained everything to Jungwon and the other 6 guys. They were a little bit indignant and not too happy about the plan but they followed my lead and instructions nonetheless. 

y/n pov

I took another day to stay inside the house. I guess I was numbed by fear and anxiety, maybe if I stayed in the group of others would move away from this area and the chances of me running into them were slimmer.

I am not sure if this reasoning was true but quite frankly, I didn't dare to leave the house yet.

I kept thinking about how Yoongi was doing, whether is leg was healed enough. If he missed me as much as I missed him

I also thought about Zhora and Taehyung and I wondered if they would understand why I ran, and whether they felt betrayed. If I was in their shoes I would feel that way.

After an unknown period of time of walking I ended up in the woods again. At some point I froze as in the very far distance I saw a group moving.

The others

I couldn't hear them nor see them clearly but it was definitely a group of others.

Not again, why was this area crawling with others?

I quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction. My heart was beating rapidly against my chest.

I ran into a small village again and there was a small clothing shop. I moved towards it to see if the door was open.

Luckily it was. 

I sat down behind the counter trying to steady myself as I was reeling from fear.

I had to first calm myself down before moving again. They didn't see me, right?

I hugged my knees and rested my forehead on my knees.

How I wished yoongi was here

The door creaked and I knew someone had opened it. I put my hand over my mouth as if this would make the sound even more inaudible.

The thing was that the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, until a point I was sure this other would find me.

I looked around on the ground to search for anything I might be able to use as a weapon.

To my luck and surprise I saw not too far away a steel bar, it was the thing on which you put hangers with clothes.

The footsteps were now in very close proximity, there was no doubt in my mind about it. I had one chance to do this right. I jumped forwards and grabbed the bar from the ground.

I got back on my feet and with the steel bar I swung hard trying to hit the person but they stopped it mid air, and my world stopped for a second as I looked into those familiar eyes
