The Last Seven - a BTS AU Story

Chapter 2 - Runaway Prisoner

In the middle of a dense forest, a boy stood, looking around himself in fear. His clothes torn, his hands bound by thorns, sweat dripping steadily onto his dark wide eyes. He looked very young and panicked, for he was on the run from a couple of aliens. He had been captured along with the rest that had survived the apocalypse. During his time in prison, the building had wasted away, leaving him the only survivor. Taking his chance, he escaped and ran away. Feeling tired, the boy lay down on the sand. A gentle breeze blew, ruffling his dark hair. He half-closed his eyes, making him look much older. With much difficulty, the boy traces something on the sand. 'JJK', which stood for his name, Jeon Jungkook. Jungkook smiled at his handiwork and fell asleep on the sand.

A sudden rasping noise awoke Jungkook, who sat up bolt upright. Slipping on the sand, he ran and hid behind a sandalwood tree. To his horror, two aliens were talking (that was Jungkook's assumption; they were making those rasping noises to each other) to each other, each loaded with a device that looked like a mix of a laser gun and a NERF machine gun. Seeing their faces was enough to give Jungkook a migraine : elongated faces, bluish skin, black-coloured eyes, spider-like hands and tiny mouths were the aliens' best qualities. Careful not to make his presence heard, Jungkook turned around and ran.

For an hour or so Jungkook ran, occasionally turning to see if they had followed him. He finally stopped at the edge of a river at the edge of the long forest, panting. He hastily bent down to get a drink of water. He looked down at his hands. The thorns were now goring into his skin like the afternoon sun. Tiny beads of blood were trickling down onto the riverbank. Jungkook bent down, washed his bloodstained hands and drank some water. He looked up; the sun was now as bright as the aliens' UFOs, like a laser. Perhaps he had run too far, for Jungkook fell on the grass, unconscious.
