His Visit

I'm not dead yet :D

-

Jimin woke up to the horrifying sight of Ara's deathly pale face and limp body.

"A-Ara? Hey..." He shook her arm but got no response. "Ara? Ara!" He panicked and felt her pulse, gasping when he felt nothing underneath her cold skin.

"No! No please!" He cried as he tried CPR and everything to save the young child...but it was too late. Ara didn't wake up for a long time.

Jimin waited and waited until the cage was being lifted and a black-robed man walked into the light in front of them. Before he knew it, the man grabbed Ara by her feet and dragged her away without a sound.

"NO!" Jimin screamed as he stood up but was instantly assaulted by the same group of men from before.

They began brutally beating his sore body up once more, smashing his head against the floor and kicking him until the pain was unbearable. Black and white light flashed past Jimin's vision as he refused to let out any sound of pain by biting his lip until it tore and bled.

After having enough, the men were gone and the cage was atop him again...except this time—he was truly alone.

A black figure knelt down outside the cage and talked clearly for him to hear. "You've interfered with our plans far enough, Park. I think your power will come to great use when you die...but for now, I'll let you suffer." Then, the person disappeared, and all that was left was silence.

Coughing out blood and wheezing, the frail boy lay sprawled on his side as the red liquid dripped out of his wounds and to the bleak floor. His vision caved in, his ears rung, and everything just hurt - including his heart. The image of Ara's tiny body being dragged away haunted his mind, and tears rapidly escaped his blurry vision, mixing with the pool of blood.

I'm so sorry, Ara... It's all my fault.

"H-help..." He whispered hoarsely before blacking out again.

Jin gasped and held onto a chair for support as a wave of dizziness surged through him.

"Jin, are you okay?" Namjoon asked, eyes flashing with concern. He quickly placed the pot back onto the stove and rushed to the pink-haired male.

"Jimin...he's hurt badly." Jin whispered and held his head. "Someone's hurting him."

A ball of anxiety and distress coiled up inside Namjoon at the news of his younger friend. He wished he could do something to help him, but he knew that would turn out bad.

"What do we do, Namjoon..." Jin breathed sadly. "What can we do?"

The other male carefully rubbed the knight's arms with his fingers and smiled a little. "We'll save him. Don't worry."

Jin sulked in Namjoon's shirt as the other comforted him. They were both worried sick for the ice mage.

"Jin-hyung, Namjoon!" Someone called and the two turned their heads simultaneously.

Chanyeol smiled at them from afar and waved his hands. "The king wants to see you both!"

The duo followed after him to the throne room, where Jungkook, Hoseok, Taehyung, and Yoongi were waiting with the king.

"You brought the whole crew here, huh," Jin scoffed as they stood with their friends.

Chanyeol smiled, and Jin swore he something change in the boy's eyes before he bowed and left the room. Come to think of it, Chanyeol has been acting a little strange and quiet ever since Jimin left; he seemed very...secretive.
