Fate

Curiosity

Jungkook shoves the kid into a small room with a dirt floor. The kid falls on his hands and knees, making his face contort in pain. Jungkook grabs a chain connected to the wall and grabs the kid's leg. The kid reaches for his ankle, so Jungkook pulls the kids leg forwards, making the kid fall onto his back. The kid gasps from the sudden pull as Jungkook chains the kid's already scarred ankle. Jungkook looks up and glares at the kid who stares back fearfully. Jungkook clenches his teeth as the kid smells of rotten flesh and blood.

Jungkook grabs the collar of the kid's shirt and goes to say something but stops as the shirt moves down a little. He pulls the kid's shirt down and stares at the wound around the kid's neck. The skin is ripped in a line of rotten flesh around the kid's neck with cracks that spread up and down from the line just as open and rotted. Jungkook scoffs and looks back at the kid who stares back quietly. "Marked by a Lara? No wonder they didn't care to sacrifice you." Jungkook speaks up coldly while leaning closer, so the kid tightens his lips nervously. Jungkook studies the wound again knowing that a curse from a Lara steals all ability to speak or use one's voice. For the curse to break someone has to speak the name of the cursed while the cursed cannot remember their own name. "Listen closely, kid. This is where you will stay and where you will wish to die. You were sacrificed to me. Your life is worthless and unwanted, and you are going to be here until you die." Jungkook grabs and twists the kid's arm making him tense up and open his mouth. Jungkook slightly smirks as no scream escapes the kid's mouth and pushes the kid back. Jungkook stands up as the kid fearfully slides backwards until he bumps into the wall. "Good. I hate crying and screaming humans the most."

A tear falls down the kid's face as he holds his arm that throbs in pain. Jungkook smiles coldly before storming out of the room and slamming the door. The kid stares at the closed door and doesn't move for a long time. He takes a deep breath after a few minutes and slowly relaxes against the wall. He sighs and pulls his knees to his chest and rests his head on his knees. His eyes fall to the dirt before he slides his hand down to the cuff around his ankle. He slides two fingers in the gap to try and measure how much room he has to move around in. This one seems looser...that's nice. He slides his hand up his leg and then squeezes his legs tightly. It would've been nice to die next to such a pretty flower. More tears fill his eyes as he slowly buries his face in his knees. He pulls his legs closer as he starts to cry harder in his knees. The room stays quiet as only sounds of sniffling occur every so often.

Jungkook pauses in his living room, waiting for any noises from the kid's room. He slightly turns his head amazed that cursed ones really can't make any sounds. He slides his hands in his pockets as he tries to think of why the kid survived as one marked by a Lara. He frowns knowing that most are killed or kill themselves so he assumes the kid must be a recent victim.

After a few days, Jungkook opens the room door which makes the kid squint from the light. Jungkook tosses a plate on the ground making the fruit and bread bounce off. The kid quickly crawls over and grabs the bread and eats it without cleaning it off. Jungkook looks around and sees piles of dirt built like sandcastles. Jungkook crouches down and snatches the kid's hair and pulls the kid's head back. Jungkook leans towards the kid's face as his eyes dimly glow. "This isnt a playroom. Remember your worth, trash." Jungkook shoves the kid back before standing up and stepping on the fruit. The kid stretches his arms in shock before slumping down. "Starve."

Jungkook storms out of the room, leaving the crushed fruit on the floor. The kid stares at the dirty fruit for a while before slowly crawling over to it. He scoops as much as he can with and without dirt before crawling back to the wall. He leans against the wall and pulls the fruit closer to his stomach. Thank you for the meal.

Jungkook slouches in his seat at a long table in an open room with paneled windows for light. He glares at the man across the table with brown hair that dangles in front of his red eyes. The man laughs as he talks while Jungkook glares back at him, "You're joking!"
