THE PURGE || BTS EDITION

Chapter 11: Good In The World

Rav's P.O.V.

As adorable as drugged up Hoseok was, he was a pain in the ass to get moving. We needed to get back to the store- to Yoongi and Namjoon- but he insisted on staying and taking a nap.

"If you don't cooperate I'm taking you to my spaceship and probing your sorry ass." I said as harshly as I could, all the while holding back laughter. Hoseok quickly jumped up and ran over to Jin's side. Jin looked over at me and smiled, rolling his eyes as he turned to the man clinging to his side.

"Let's move." He said, giving Hoseok a push as they moved towards the door. Nikki moved to catch up, but I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back beside me. I looked ahead at the boys, Hoseok too high to pick up on our conversation and Jin too preoccupied with him to hear anything as well.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered as we followed along behind the two.

"I could ask you the same thing." She said, avoiding my question.

"Are you still with Ryan?" I asked. Her face turned white and she bit at the inside of her cheek.

"No. I haven't been since the incident." She said looking down and squeezing her eyes shut. We walked in silence for a moment before I let my curiosity get the best of me.

"Do you know why...? Why Ryan... You know... Attacked his sister?" I asked, looking over at Hoseok, who kept reaching for Jin's hand only to have his smacked away.

"He said it was revenge. That one of Hoseok's friends had wronged him and that was the payback." She admitted quietly.

"That doesn't make any sense though. Why go after Hoseok's family and not whoever wronged him?" I asked, my head spinning. Nikki let out a sigh before turning to me.

"About that... You see... Hoseok's sister was sleeping with one of the boys. That's  why he went after her... Figured it would do twice the damage." My mind began spinning, my eyes wide as I tried to process the information.

"Who?" I managed to ask. I don't know why, but I was afraid of the answer.

"I don't know." She admitted defeated. "I always asked her about it but she'd never tell. Probably afraid I'd spill the beans to Hoseok." Her eyes looked up at the boy in front of her, and I could see them glisten.

"You really like him don't you?" I asked smirking to myself. Nikki nodded her head and her cheeks turned red. She turned to me, suddenly serious and determined.

"I want you to help me figure this whole thing out. Just like old times." She said. I cringed at the mention of our past lives with Ryan, but I nodded my head.

"Hoseok deserves to know." I said in agreement. Nikki smiled and thanked me.

"You guys sure are slow." Jin teased back at us. Hoseok was clinging to the man and Jin was practically dragging him down the street. I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach.

If only Hoseok knew his sister was dead because of one of them...

Jimin's P.O.V.

I had been sitting in the darkness for hours since my talk with Kai when I heard the door open and the room was flooded with light.

"Hope you're thirsty!" One of the three men sadistically said as he walked towards me. He was holding a cloth, the other two both holding buckets of water.

"I already told you assholes I'm not talking." I spat as they moved closer. They tightened my restraints before covering my face with the cloth.

"I'll give you another chance. Where are the girls?" One of the men growled.

When I didn't respond I immediately felt myself suffocating, the water soaking into the cloth and preventing me from breathing fully. I tried holding my breath, but the water wouldn't stop. My heart was racing as I felt myself weak from the lack of air. Water was entering my lungs as I helplessly breathed in.

Suddenly, yelling erupted from the hall and I received a break from the torture. The cloth was removed from my face and the men moved towards the door. That's when I heard the scream again, a familiar sound.

It was Yoongi. What the hell was he doing here?

My head shot up and I pulled at my restraints. I tried to call out his name but all that came out was air. One of the men opened the door to get a better look, and that's when I saw him being dragged down the hall by two men. He looked broken and for the first time, I saw him crying.

"Looks like we got ourselves a new toy boys." One of the men said, smirking. The others laughed and moved out of the room. "Don't worry. He'll be in good hands." The remaining man said before closing the door.

Taehyung's P.O.V.

The alarm sounded, indicating the hunters had entered the maze. I looked back at Alaina, who was following closely behind me, her hand grabbing onto the edge of my shirt. I turned around and squatted in front of her.

"Is it ok if I carry you? It'll help us move quicker." I asked. She nodded her head and hopped into my outstretched arms. I pulled her tightly against my chest with one hand as she wrapped her arms around my neck. With my other hand I reached into my pocket and pulled out the revolver, hand on the trigger and ready to fire at any moment.

I ran through the maze, taking twists and turns and hoping to find a dead end where we could safely camp out. As I rounded one of the corners, I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder.

"Shi-" I quickly cut myself off from cursing in front of the little girl. I looked down, checking her for any injury before I began running again. I knew a bullet had grazed me, but I didn't have time to stop and fire back- I needed to get Alaina to a safe place.

I turned another corner, breathing a sigh of relief when I noticed it was a dead end. I walked over to the corner and gently placed Alaina on the ground. Her eyes were wide as she caught a glimpse of my shoulder in the dim light.

"Taehyung oppa... You're hurt." She said pointing, concern covering her face.

"It's just a little scratch." I said trying to reassure her. Alaina shook her head and took off her jacket. She moved closer to me and began tying her little pink flower-covered jacket around my shoulder.

"That'll help." She said smiling, satisfied with her work. I smiled over at her and bowed lightly, causing her to giggle and skip off into the corner. I heard footsteps approaching us and I reached over for my revolver.

"Alaina... Turn around sweetie." I said before walking to the edge of the corner. I listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, before peering around the corner and shooting at the figure when I realized they were wearing the "hunters" clothes.

The body collapsed to the floor, lifeless. I turned back to Alaina who was sitting on the ground, her face towards the wall.

"Is he gone...?" She quietly asked. I doubled checked that his body was motionless before answering her- I couldn't take any chances.

"Yes." I said as I moved towards her. "You can turn around now." I sat down beside her as she turned towards me.

"Why are there bad people in the world Taehyung oppa?" She asked, her brown eyes meeting mine as they began to water.

"Because some people are hurting and want everyone to feel like they do. And others, well they just don't like the good in the world." I said, rubbing at her back.

"The good in the world... Like you?" She said, hugging at my side. I smiled and looked down at her.

"I guess so." I said chuckling. "And the good people who bandage others up." She looked up at me, her smile wide. "Like you!" I said, tapping her on the nose. She giggled and cuddled up beside me.

We fell silent as I began listening intently for footsteps or any signs of people once again.
