Chapter Seven: Plan

Jimin's Pov

We waited an hour until Yoongi and the recruiters left with the bodies. I peeked outside my room a few times and saw servants with rags and mops. I didn't have to guess why they had cleaning tools. After they were done cleaning the room, they closed that door and locked it with a key, probably to save it for the next ones that came through.

While we waited I was thinking in my head on what to do with the plan. Jin made a point that attempting an escape publicly was not only bad for us, but worse for him. I still had to try, but in order to do so, I needed help.

Once the servants left, I grabbed Taehyung and went for the rec room. I didn't see Jin once I stepped in which meant he probably was in his room.

"Why are we here?" Taehyung asked as he walked over and sat down on the couch.

"Trust me, I have a plan" I said as I walked back out into the hallway and went over to Mark and Jackson's room. 

"Hey Jimin, you needed something? Another question about sex I presume?" Mark teased. Jackson gave us both a weird look but shook it off.

"I need you guys to gather the others and meet me in the rec room. I have a plan. I can't call it a big one, but it's a start." I informed.

"Alright, give us twenty minutes." Jackson said as he stood up and walked out into the hall. Mark followed along too and I went headed back to the rec room.

Twenty minutes later, everyone had showed up, except for Jin. Some looked tired, others looked annoyed and maybe one or two were curious. The spotlight was on me so I had to make this work.

"I know what we witnessed today was a tragedy. I didn't know those guys, but I know well enough they didn't deserve to die like that. So in their memory, let's just take a moment of silence for the loss." I announced. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy but bowed their heads and whispered among themselves. After two minutes they looked back up to me, waiting for my next move. I cleared my throat and began to speak again.

"I've only been here for a day, and already I was sexually assaulted, lost my virginity and witness my first suicide. It's a lot to take in and I'm sure all of you feel the same way" I paused, thinking about what Jin said about hope. "Like I said earlier, I'm going to get out of here, but this time I'm freeing all of you." Everyone began to whisper at once, some were calling me crazy others were interested.

"So what's your point?" someone called out.

"My point is, in order for this plan to succeed I need everyone to help me with it." I looked over to Jackson and Mark. "Jackson, you said you have a good connection with a servant here right? Are they going to be here when the servants come with our dinner?"

Jackson placed his hands within his pocket and nodded. "Yeah, he always comes. I'll tell him to stay so you can explain this to him." He said. "But Jimin, what are you trying to do?" he asked.

"I noticed everyone is scared. I'm scared too, but the vampires, they feed off of our fear. If they see us quiver and tremble, they get excited. We cannot show them fear." I let the last part ease in with the room. Some were wide eyed while others gave me dirty looks.

"Have you lost your mind?" one guy asked.

"No, I just have a plan. You see, we can't show fear, instead we play along...you guys understand?" I asked, hoping someone would get the point.

Some looked confused while others just got up and left. I felt slightly defeated, then I remembered what Jin told me, about if I fail, they fail.

I couldn't allow that to happen.
