THE PRIESTESS | A KTH & OT7 FF | 18+

Chapter 7

Taehyung woke up to find himself trapped in a pitch-black prison cell. The walls were thick and made of magical steel that seemed impenetrable. He wasn't alone, though. Jimin, Jungkook, and the human were with him. The human was unconscious, which annoyed Taehyung. He muttered to himself, calling the human a "weakling." As he sat there, he couldn't help but wonder why he had been so foolish to follow the priestess. It meant his doom, but he didn't see a flicker of fear in his eyes then.

Jimin sat there in silence, and he was clearly trying to use his powers. But unfortunately, the prison they were in was shielded, rendering every magical creature powerless. Meanwhile, Jungkook was struggling to keep his anthracite wings tucked to his body. Being in skyheaven only accentuated his true nature as an Archangel. It was once his home until he was banished by his own father, the King, and forced to rot in the underworld.

Jimin's voice was filled with confidence as he asked, "Do you think Yoongi and Hobi will kill us?" His long hair was tousled, and it looked like he had lost his tie on the way. The question hung in the air, and everyone awaited an answer. It was clear that Jimin was trying to lighten up the mood.

"Ha! You have no idea what my brothers are capable of," the angel retorted, his wings visibly trembling with anger at the mere mention of their names. "You think they'll just let us go? Think again. They'll make sure we suffer every last bit of it. And as for the priestess, well, I shudder to think what they'll do to her.”

Taehyung rose to his feet, his gaze scanning the bleak prison hall. "They won't be foolish enough to harm her," he said. "Your brothers may be wicked little bastards, but they know better than to mess with Kazimir's fiancé. If they lay a finger on her, they'd practically declare war on the entire underworld.”

The human suddenly jolted up at the mention of the priestess. He was such a lovesick fool, Taehyung thought. Seokjin jumped, wrapped his hands around the cold steel poles, and shouted into the prison hall. “Where is the lady? If you even touch a hair of hers, I am going to kill all of you!” Tae saw the rage in his eyes and wondered what relationship he and the priestess had. “KAYA, I AM COMING." “ I WILL SAVE YOU!”

With a smirk on his face, Taehyung couldn't resist teasing the human. "Go ahead and roar all you want, but let's be real here. Let me plop those bubbles of yours_ You don't stand a chance of rescuing her from wherever she is right now," he playfully taunted. The human's face grew serious as he realized the daunting task.

Seokjin turned to gaze at Taehyung, and with loud taps on the stone-hard floor, the human approached him, grabbed him by his collar, and growled. “Then make sure YOU rescue her. Demon. You claimed she'd be safe with YOU. Where is she now, demon?” Jin tried to shake him, but Taehyung was clearly the stronger one in power and height. But Tae had to give the human credit for being so brave in grabbing a demon by its collar. “GET HER!”

Did the general guess he was a demon, or did he know? But how? He never told what creature he was. Taehyung had enough and shoved Seokjin away. The human hit the wall with his back and groaned in agony on the floor. “Touch me again, and you will regret even looking my way. Then you will see a real demon!” He didn't know why he acted like that, but all he knew was that Jin’s scent bothered him to the bones. The human smelled like fresh cotton, but underneath his skin lingered the smell of sweet peaches on a spring day. The scent that lingered under his tongue since he sniffed it. He couldn't stand it. Hated it. Kaya’s scent stuck with him, and it was now clear what relationship they had. It made his blood run wild, but he couldn't decipher this rage.

Jimin was concerned about the human's well-being, but as he tried to approach him, the human slipped away and sat far from the group. Seokjin wore a stern expression as he glared at all of them. He then said, "You, magical creatures, are all the same. You're selfish and only care about yourselves. You destroy the human world, enslave them, and take what you want to satisfy your boredom." The human's eyes were filled with hatred, and Taehyung sensed that Jin might have had a terrible encounter with otherworldly beings. “Kaya might believe there can be peace between the worlds, but I disagree. I will watch you, and if I have to, I'd kill all of you!”
