THE PURGE || BTS EDITION

Chapter 7: Can't Save Everyone

Jimin's P.O.V.

I had been awake and staring into the darkness for what felt like hours. My wrist and ankles were rubbed raw from my constant attempts to break through my restraints and my whole body felt weak and useless. My mind kept racing, worrying about the boys and how they were holding up.

Light flooded the room and my attention turned towards the door. I saw a girl, around my age with reddish-brown hair, closing the door. She walked towards me and I sighed in annoyance.

"Look, can we make this beating quick. I already told you guys I'm not giving up Ravs and Kylie and I meant it." I spat.

The girl simply walked over and leaned down in front of me. "I know you aren't. And I'm not here to beat the answer out of you." She stated matter-of-factly as she took a seat on the floor in front of me.

I looked at her in confusion, my brows raising and forehead crinkling. "I'm here to break you out." She said.

"But why...? Don't you work for these guys?" This wasn't making any sense. She didn't even know me and she was going to put her life on the line to get me out of this hellhole?

"Because you're keeping Ravs safe..." She started, pausing for a moment to fight back some emotions.

"Ravs is my sister. She used to work for Ryan too. On the last Purge Night, I helped her abandon the group. When Ryan found out she was gone, he sent his men to find her. And well... You know what happened from there." She finished, looking over at me.

"And Kylie...?" I asked, remembering the timid girl who had shown up bleeding on our front steps.

"Just one of Ravs' friends. Poor girl shouldn't have been brought into this." She said shaking her head.

"So what's the plan?" I asked, hoping I would be able to leave this torture chamber soon.

"You'll find out soon enough." She said smirking and patting at my arm as she stood up and walked towards the door.

"I didn't catch your name." I said, still confused about the whole situation.

"Kai." She said before shutting off the lights and leaving the room.

Hoseok's P.O.V.

I stayed in the shadows, avoiding the bright lights of the street lamps as I made my way down the street. When I came to a small coffee shop, I went inside whispering for Nikki. She popped her head out from behind the counter and made her way over to me.

I was surprised by her image. She had changed so much within the last three years- she was no longer the timid little girl I had been so close to.

"Nikki, what the hell are you doing out tonight?" I questioned, genuinely concerned about what she had gotten herself into.

"Well, I was suppose to make a deal with some people, but you had no problem killing my clients off." She said with a frown.

"Clients...? Deal...? Don't tell me you're getting into that stuff Niks." I squeaked out, worry taking over.

"I haven't really had a choice Hobi." She stated, clearly annoyed. "This is how I make ends meet now that she's gone." She said, her voice slightly cracking.

"You could've come to me..." I trailed off as she shook her head.

"No, I couldn't, because every time I see you, I think of her... And that's just too painful." She whimpered out. I pulled her into her arms as the tears began to fall down her face.

"We could've helped you Niks." I said lightly.

"You can't save everyone Hobi. She thought the same way... But you just can't." I looked down at her, my own eyes beginning to water as well.

"You're right. I couldn't even save my own fucking sister. But if you don't try, you can't save anyone at all... And that's not what she would have wanted. Please Niks, come with us. For her sake." I pleaded, eyes meeting hers as she lightly nodded her head.

"Fine. I'll come with you." She breathed out.

I heard a knock on the door and turned around to see a group of men. My hand instinctively reached for my revolver, but Nikki quickly put her hand over mine and motioned for me to leave them alone.

"My clients..." She said as she walked towards the door. I saw the door open, Nikki handed the men a bag, then she fell to the floor and the group took off running.

Taehyung's P.O.V.

I walked away from the house, my blood boiling over the whole situation with Jungkook. We've always stuck together, the seven of us, and for him to go against that for some stupid girl pissed me off.

He kept calling and calling, my phone ringing loudly through the air. I ignored him and kept walking, not knowing where I was going but determined to save Jimin.

I saw the headlights of a car approaching, and ducked into a side alley to avoid it. I was about halfway down when I saw the headlights shining on the ground around me. I quickened my pace and kept walking, the car speeding up and following.

Suddenly, I felt my legs being thrown out from under me and my back made contact with glass as it shattered underneath my weight. The driver and passenger got out, duck taping my hands and feet as I cried out in pain. The two of them picked me up, my whole body aching as I fought to stay awake, and threw me into the trunk. I tried to yell, but all that came out was weak whispers. The trunk was closed and I was left in pitch blackness, fearing for my life.

Jungkook's P.O.V.

We searched through the phone, frustration building the longer we looked without any clues. The men weren't sloppy and kept everything hidden, no exact locations or names given out. Kylie sighed out in anger, about to throw the phone when I noticed a picture in the camera roll.

"Wait... What's that?" I asked, clicking the picture and bringing it into full screen. My eyes widened at the screen before me. I turned to Kylie and saw her eyes practically popping out of her head.

Before us was a picture of two people- a boy and a girl- smiling for the camera while hugging against each other. The boy was Ryan, his tattoos and scar over his eye giving it away. But the girl... I had to triple check to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.

It was Ravs. She was leaning up against Ryan, a gun in her hands and a smile on her face.

"What the fuck?" Kylie gasped out beside me. "She was with him?!?" Her eyes wouldn't leave the photo and her hands were trembling. I pulled the screen closer to my face, scanning the background for any details that would give away their location.

In the back, I saw a sign. The Costal Docks. I recognized the name, I'd been there before a while back with my family. It was a long shot, but even if there was the slightest chance of rescuing Jimin, I was gonna take it.

"Come on Kylie." I said, pulling the shocked girl off the couch. "Jimin's waiting."
