25: Squeeze

The whole room was silent, each one of them having their eyes drawn towards your smaller frame, waiting for you to say something. The eight of you had gone back into the mansion, gathering in the living room. After all, the outside had begun to frightened you and seeking shelter in the familiar home made you feel much more secure.

"Did he..hurt you?" Jimin started by asking you a question hesitantly since he could tell you didn't know where to start.

You avoided his gaze, you avoided all of their gazes, arms wrapped around your knees and staring at your fidgeting fingers while they sat around the other sofas, Jungkook and Taehyung on the sofa to your right, Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi to your left, while Jin and Jimin sat next to you, all of their gazes you knew were filled with concern.

Hesitantly, you nodded at Jimin's question and could feel him immediately tense up beside you. "But.." you trailed of slowly, "there are other..worse things that Zero did."

"What did he do?" Yoongi's voice had reached a lower octave and you could tell that even he was infuriated with what Zero had done to had cause you to be in such a trance.

You didn't answered him right away at first, not that they weren't used to it by now, so you were glad that they were patient and willing to wait for you to feel comfortable to speak up about the incident. "He...he locked me up in a room, starved me the first week I arrived there and when he finally allowed me to feed, I went crazy and," your voice cracked, remembering the things you did at the time, "I probably killed about a hundred humans all in one night."

Beside you, Jimin reached on over to hold your unsteady hands and you allowed yourself to squeeze it tightly, feeling guilty of the things you had done. "Men..women...I may had even killed some innocent children." You bit your lip harshly with disgust at your own self. "He just threw it at me and my only instinct was to feed from them because I was so thirsty and—"

"No one's blaming you," the leader's words assured you with a firm tone and when you met everyone else's gaze, they too told you that it hadn't been your fault.

From your other side, Jin cautiously placed his hand on your shoulder, giving you a small comforting squeeze as if to tell you to go on.

You took a deep shaky breath, reminiscing on the next horrible thing Zero had done which led you to be even more hesitant to speak, not just on your behalf but more so due to the fact that the boys wouldn't take it too well.

Especially...

"He..." you began slowly, eyeing Jimin cautiously as you squeezed the hand holding yours lightly. From the corners of your eyes, you could feel someone's particular eyes piercing through yours, the feeling of concern and curiosity seeping through your veins, making you feel even more overwhelmed under his gaze.

Jungkook must've had felt that because almost immediately, the vampire remembered his manners and looked away awkwardly with a quick clearing of his throat.

It didn't give you much help to your honesty but you knew you had to say it, besides Jungkook, they were all waiting for you to speak, patiently.

"He tried to rape me," you squeaked in a very soft high pitched tone, but they heard it, of course they did because in that next moment, the guys all shared a disgusted shout.

"WHAT?!"

"You're a freaking virgin! You haven't even had your first kiss yet!" Jimin exclaimed almost a little too loud.

"Now that's even worse," Hoseok commented, mouth gaped a little at the revelation.

You found yourself curling up into a little ball as the guys went off around you, clearly annoyed and pissed that Zero had the audacity to even try such a thing to you. Something about that made you feel warm in some ways.
