24 But It Hurts

*Kyungsoo POV*

I leapt back, avoiding yet another swing of Jungkook's blades. I had made a nice attempt at escape but stupidly slowed my pace thinking he had given up. I was greatly mistaken and now he was giving his all into killing me. My calves burned from too much running and my head was itchy from the sweat. To sum it up I was doomed and was seeing my end coming soon.

"Jung- ha, ha, -kook!" I gasped, panting while running.
"Mmm? What's wrong Soo? Tired?"
"Shut your bitch ass mouth and stop! Listen to me!"
"I'll stop when you do."
"Fine. Three..." I began counting down in hope that this insufferable exercise would cease. "Two....one." I stopped dead in my tracks, and like Jungkook agreed, he did likewise, though only a metre away.

"What did you want to say?" He taunted, his breathing was only slightly harsher and it appeared he could run another marathon. What did he do at school?
"I'm only asking you this. Where did you kill Jongin?"
"Why do you want to know? It's not like you'll find a body."
"I know but....,"
"It's pointless Soo, he's gone, dead, nonexistent."
"I'll so shove an arrow down your cocky throat for mouthing worthless, obvious shit and put an end to your stupid messed up hyena cackle you shithead!"
"I'd like to see you try."

With that he lunged at me, once again swinging his golden sword towards my head and the silver at my torso. I leapt backwards, it seemed to be the only thing I could do against him. He was too fast to get far enough away for a long distance shot. I bit my lip angrily, furious at my own uselessness. I couldn't help Minseok, I couldn't save Jongin, I never found my brother and I pretended not to notice, but I knew Jongdae felt disappointment when he saw me. I was so bloody pathetic!

I readied an arrow behind my back, watching Jungkook sneer as he saw my still state.
"Giving up?"
"Not really, not to you."
"Huh?"
It was my turn and I ran to him with my borrowed energy, hugging him tightly. Before he could get over the shock I plunged the arrow into his thigh, a rush of blood pouring over my hand. I stepped back to look at my victory. Jungkook fell to the ground, clutching his leg with great intensity.
"I'll get you, you little-,"
"Hush Kookie, I won fair and square. But I won't kill you. This is my thanks to Jimin for always swooping in and saving me when Jongin couldn't."
"And boy will I talk to him about that!" Jungkook spat angrily.
"Mmm, be nice to him."

I skipped away from the battle scene, a new found energy filling my muscles. I needed to find Minseok and get the hell off this island. The mist had subsided, making my search easier. I wanted to cuddle up next to my lover, have him whisper in my ear that everything was alright. But I knew it wasn't, first off, Jongin was dead. That realisation made me stop, lean against a tree and breathe choked sighs.
My man was dead, gone until I got him back. If I could get him back. The edges of my round eyes stung, threatening to let tears fall. I tried my best to stop them but to no avail.

"Jo-in," I coughed, covering my trembling lips with the back of my hand. "Jongin..."
"Kyungsoo?" A voice called from near me. Minseok ran over to me.
"Minseok? What happened? Your covered in blood, your waist is-,"
"Just a cat fight, nothing major."
"Jongin is dead!"
"What? How? Who killed him, was it........it was Jungkook wasn't it!"
"How did you-?"
"I just know! That kid has lost his mind!"

We stood there in silence. I noticed tears slip down Minseok's cute cheeks, and he scratched his arm mercilessly. I watched his nails dig through his sleeve and I went to stop him but was interrupted by a visitor.
"What is that?" Minseok asked, ceasing his scratching for now.
"Ummm, I think they're called, wait now....I did know this......aha! Wisp, it's a wisp.
"A wisp?"
"Yeah, they're little fantasy things that illuminate the forest."
"Oh."
