Everyone's eyes are on me as Eric's piercing cackle echoes throughout the room causing me to close my eyes in defeat. Suddenly, I hear the speaker crack before a voice speaks.

"Baby girl, you're first! I can't wait to see you play my game that I've designed for you! Good luck, I'll be waiting for you." Tim sickly says through the microphone, Eric glances over to me. For a moment, I see a glimpse of humanity through his dull eyes before it's stripped away and replaced with his sinister stare.

"Let's begin!" His enthusiasm expressing his fucked up mind and twisted thoughts leading me to fear the worst.

Two men in black hoodies and trousers walk in, rolling a car battery attached to a helmet and a barrel. My gaze falls onto the eyes of one of the men, instantly he looks away with the hood covering his face. I look back down at my bloody feet.

"Leila! Would you rather...electrocute Yoongi with a high voltage car battery for three seconds or be held underwater for 2 minutes in the barrel." Eric says, pointing to the barrel smiling as he presses the clock to count me down.

Without a single thought I instantly point to the barrel. Yoongi struggles against his chair.

"Leila, don't you dare!" He shouts, looking at me with pleading eyes as one of the hooded men come up behind him placing a loaded gun to his head.

"No going back or changing your mind, so I'd suggest that you keep quiet." Eric informs Yoongi who falls back into his chair, the gun being taken away from the side of his head.

One of the men come over to me, unlocking the cuffs around my ankles and wrists guiding me towards the barrel. I stand in front of it, looking into the still, dark water. I look up to see each of their faces in utter defeat and fear, some anger before I meet eyes with Eric's. I see a flash of regret form in his blood-shot eyes before he blinks, going back to his pure insanity.

"3...2...1." Eric counts down. I take a deep breathe as my head is shoved into the cold water, hitting me with a high impact. I keep my grip on the outside of the barrel, the man's strong grip on my hair pushing me into the water causes panic to flood through my body. I struggle trying to pull my head out with no success.

My mind and body weak. Fighting for my life. I close my eyes, thinking of all of the happy moments I've had since I met all of the members. They have become my family, the family I never truly had. I was so thankful for that, so thankful. I didn't want them to see me die, to go through the pain of losing someone. I didn't want to a name they can't mention because it hurts too much to talk about.

I want to be with them. I want to live for them.

"Time!" Eric shouts, my eyes shooting open as my head is lifted from out of the water. All I can hear is ringing as I collapse to the floor only to be taken back to my seat spluttering up water.

"Leila! Are you okay? Can you hear me?" Taehyung shouts, looking at me with wide eyes. I nod as the man straps me back in.

"Congratulations Leila, two minutes is a good time. Not even close to the world record but good effort!" Eric taunts me, I look up at him with empty eyes trying to understand what led us to this.

Jungkook's POV

"Jungkook! Would you rather...?" Eric asks, leaving a long pause as the two men take the barrel and replace it with a spike covered whip.

"Would you rather give Hoesok, three lashings with the whip or shock Jin with the car battery." I feel my eyes tear up as I struggle against the chair only to feel the gun against my head.

"I CAN'T DO THAT!" I shout, shaking violently as the timer starts to count down.

"NO STOP! FINE! Kill me.." I say, closing my eyes before looking directly at Eric.

"Have it your way." He says before everything goes black.

Leila's POV

As Eric's focus is on Jungkook, I notice that my cuffs aren't on properly as I manage to slip my hands out and unbuckle the ones around my ankles without being detected.

I jump out of my seat, running to the emergency button, pressing it as all the lights turn off and the cuffs release everyone. I grab the gun from one of the men shooting them both in the head as Eric chases after all of us.

I run towards the door, making sure everyone is behind me. I open it, revealing a massive circle of squad cars. We all run out, into the safety of the policemen.

Eric and Tim are dragged out of the house in handcuffs swearing and struggling against the officers. I burst out into tears of relief, hugging everyone as we all cry in happiness.

"It's all over. We are safe." Namjoon says, smiling as we all nod in content.

That's when a loud bang sounded, everything going black.
