④⑦ ~ Trapped

The silence in the truck  was deafening as Jungkook drove through the night, but what comforted me was Jungkook's fingers laced  tightly around my hand.  They were warm and firm yet gentle and I felt safe in them.  The fear I felt when I killed that lady was paralyzing, and my breath came out short and shallow as my heart pounded against my chest and my head spun with all the anxiety coursing through me making me collapse.

Amsterdam Gretchen. A witch. According to Jungkook's memory she was someone he wished death upon, I don't know exactly what transposed between them but I knew for a fact that she hurt Jungkook.

Jungkook pulled up outside a house, I didn't know exactly where we were but we were out of the city for sure. "Are you okay?"  Jungkook asked softly stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. I reply with a small nod not finding the words. He got off his side of the car helping me step down the sidewalk.  He wrapped an arm around my waist, keeping me close to him like I might disappear.  He lead me through the front door of the house and up the small stairs of the gigantic house.

"Where're we?"  I asked softly looking around as Jungkook guided me to the living room. "Our former home before moving to Greenville." Jungkook replied "How are feeling?"   Jungkook gently rubbed my shoulder.

"Honestly I don't know" A bitter  laugh escapes my lips, I'm tired but my mind won't stop replaying everything that happened tonight. "I don't know how I should feel about being wanted by the police... I just... "  Jungkook cut me off with a hug which made my entire body lighten up and relax at the same time, a shiver runs though me as my eyes flutter shut trying to hold back the tears.

"I'd do anything to protect you, and I mean anything"  Jungkook whispered into my hair.  I nodded burying my face deeper into his neck.
My head began pounding again and I closed my eyes tighter hoping to alleviate the pain.

"What went on between you and the witch?"   I asked softly rubbing my hands over my temples as if it would ease the pain.  "I'm sure she did something bad to you?" I muttered under my breath.  There was a short silence  as I waited for a response.

"When Namjoon bit me I was devastated, I didn't like what I was becoming... I was against Namjoon... it wasn't really his fault, he had no other choice, just like you. I was hit by a truck as a teen, luckily for me Namjoon was around the scene, that was centuries ago" He chuckles "No one helped me while I almost bled to my death. Namjoon helped me by taking me home but I wasn't expecting to be bitten. Day's after when I woke up... I was told that I was bitten by the Alpha of their pack and that I'd be one of them, l was just 17"    His voice shook slightly but he continued on.  "At first I didn't believe it, not want to be one of them, then it was Jin, Yoongi and Hoseok and Olivia...."

"So what happened" I swallowed.

"I left. I went into the world unexpired and with know knowledge about anything... That was until my first heat. It was painful cos I didn't have anyone to guide me. That was until Gretchen found me, she deceived me, told me killing people to feel better okay" Jungkook's voice  quivered slightly.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as remembered his past that he has forgotten and swept under the rug. I  moved towards him wrapping my arms around him pulling him as close as I could. "It's alright" I whispered kissing his temple as I hugged him close.

"She used me for her sexual desires, nothing with Gretchen was beautiful, she would cast spells on people luring them in and killing them... and... and she... she would ask me to eat them... I did because I. thought it was the only thing to do to remain sane"  Jungkook choked out his words as he sobbed into my chest.  My own tears welled up in my eyes  as I held him closer.  As I rocked Jungkook in silence, he sniffled pulling away to continue.
