My eyes landed on the dark room, filled with side by side cages. Each prison cell was five feet high with thick metal bars. Each breath I released, came with a puff of cold, icy air. I tried to stay quiet as I went by each cell, looking for a familiar face.
"Hoseok." I whispered, listening for a response. I walked towards one of the cages, peaking my head to the bars.
"Riley?"
He quickly sat up, pushing himself to the cage. "I knew my prayers were worth something."
I smiled, grabbing the bars. "Let me find something to unlock this with."
I left the dark room, looking for anything I could find. A knife, sword, even a rock. My eyes landed on a stone with a sharp point.
"Perfect."
I rushed back to him, and his eyes lit up as he heard my footsteps. I gripped the stone in my hand, and slammed it onto the stubborn lock.
"Cmon El, use the force."
"I'm trying." I spoke through my teeth.
"Well try harder." He smiled.
I lifted my hand again. You can do this. I screamed at the top of my lungs, releasing the rock from the fingers. I hid my face as the lock broke open.
"Riley, where's Hoseok."
He brushed the dirt off his pants. "He's here?"
I raised my brow. "Uh, Yeah. You didn't see him and Jimin locked up?"
"He's-"
"Alive? Yeah." I pulled his shirt, and brought him to the other cages.
"Hoseok." I shouted, hitting Riley's shoulder. "Call for him too."
He put his finger up, and took a deep breath in. He cupped his hands around his mouth. "HOSEOK."
I stopped as I heard a rapid gasp for air. Riley and I looked at each other, before I ran towards the last cage.
A smile appeared on my lips. "Hoseok, you're alive." I held his hands through the metal bars.
"W-where's Jimin?"
I sighed, looking at Riley for some help, but knowing him he stood still.
"He's fighting your leader."
His eyes went wide as he pushed the bars. "I need to help him, he's going to get mauled."
I raised my brows. "Wow, no support?"
"You don't understand El, she's going to kill him."
"Not on my damn watch." I threw the rock, breaking his cage open. Riley and I helped him to his feet. He wasn't majorly injured, actually not even a scratch laid on his skin.
