Jungkook never thought that he'd find a home behind a four metre tall fence and concrete walls, but with the help of the Woodburians, the growing group turned the place into a sanctuary for all. That's until the group was tested by a deadly virus an...
Taehyung shook his head, trying to get rid of the ringing in his ears. He managed to pull it off from the floor and dragged his eyes over the group. Rick and Bob had fallen too but Taehyung couldn't see what was happening behind him. He turned to Rick but the leader was looking at the two men behind him. Taehyung could hear them shuffle around with grunts and assumed that they had fallen too.
Taehyung shifted on his side and stretched his neck to look over his shoulder. Daryl and Glenn were sitting on their knees, while the two butchers were trying to stand up, looking dazed and worried as they turned to Gareth for some answers.
The Leader was speechless, his eyes wide and lips parted in shock, "Mary, do you copy?" Gareth's radio turned on, allowing a static voice to fill the eerily silent room. Gareth seemed to snap out of his state of shock, immediately lifting his arm and pointing at the two butchers, "You stay here." He ordered them, turning to leave.
"Gareth, these guys aren't going-"
"Stay here until I know what's happening!" Gareth screamed back with a tint of panic bleeding into his voice before rushing out of the room.
The butchers were distracted and Taehyung made sure to use this to his advantage. His heart thudded with adrenaline as he wrapped his fingers around the zip tie and tried to snap it off his wrists by jerking his arms towards his hips
"So, we should just sit here?" The butcher with the knives asked in disbelief and reluctance towards aimed at Gareth's order. He turned to the other butcher to see what he thought about this but the man didn't seem as worried.
The butcher with the bat shrugged, "We got a job to do."
The knife-guy scoffed, whirling around on his heel to march away from the tub. He lifted his radio to his mouth as he walked, "You there, Gareth?" He spoke into the walkie-talkie, pacing around the room.
"He's busy." The bat-guy sang, not a tint of worry in his voice. When the worried butcher ignored him, the guy huffed and followed him towards the side of the room, leaving the group just lying on the floor.
A flicker of movement from Rick made Taehyung's attention bounced towards the leader. Rick's face was scrunched and dripping with sweat as his arms moved up and down in sharp jerks. Taehyung furrowed his brows and observed the continuous movement, only to freeze when Rick's arms popped free. The leader still lay on his side as he slid his legs closer to himself, reaching down to cut through the ties keeping his legs together. Only when Rick started cutting, did Taehyung notice that he was using the chunk of wood from the traincart.
