Your bare feet pound on the hard concrete of the streets as you sprint away from the house that you had fled from. If you could run fast and far enough, if anything catches you and tries to hurt you then the boys will be safe. That's all that mattered to you. You glance up at the sky quickly and then behind you at the house to check they weren't following. You pant heavily as you continue to run, never seeing to get any further from the house as if you were running on a conveyor belt.
Just keep running.
A loud smash of glass behind you causes you to squeak softly and stop in the middle of the street. Your heart stops as you see Taehyung falling out of one of the higher windows of the house. For a split second, you run towards the house as panic rushes through your veins but then you freeze. You freeze when you see him glide up into the air just seconds before hitting the ground.
Keep running. He's looking for me.
You shake your head quickly and dive down a tight alley where you knew he wouldn't be able to see you. You pant heavily as you push yourself up against the wall and watch as he glides past a few times. As you watch him, you slowly notice him getting more and more stressed and then he seemed in pain. Reluctantly, you poke your head around the corner of the alley and see Namjoon running towards you. You mentally curse yourself as you dive back into the alley and pray that he didn't see you.
"Y/N, are you crazy?" Namjoon growls at you as he runs around the corner, panting heavily. You turn away from him as he pulls out his phone and texts Yoongi that he found you. Namjoon sighs deeply before grabbing your shoulders and pulling you into a hug. "I know what this is about. You can't protect us by sacrificing yourself." Namjoon whispers as he holds you close to his chest as you stay silent. After a moment, he releases you and quickly looks out onto the street before walking out and beckoning you to follow him. You do as he commands and the two of you quickly rush to the house.
"Where'd you find her?" Hoseok asks softly as he pulls you into a small hug as soon as you make it into the house. "I think Taehyung's just got in too. He should be upstairs." Hoseok continues as he lets go of you and moves into the kitchen with Namjoon. Jimin smiles softly at you from the couch as he sits on Jin's lap and pats the spot next to him. You sigh deeply as you shuffle over to the couch and sit next to him.
"What happened Y/N? Hoseok kinda ran upstairs screaming you had run away." Jimin asks softly as slides off Jin's lap and continues to smile at you. You shrug as you lean back on the couch and look up to the ceiling.
"You know that sacrificing yourself won't help us, right?" Jin sighs softly as he runs a hand through his hair and lays his arm along the back of the couch. You gulp softly and look over at Jin reluctantly, your eyes slowly tearing up as you do.
"I thought that maybe if I was gone, you guys would be safe." You mumble softly as you look down at the floor. Jimin shakes his head and quickly hugs you before kissing you lightly on the cheek.
"They're all looking for us too. Even if you were gone- dead even- they'd still look for us." Jin explains softly as he looks towards the kitchen where Hoseok and Namjoon were talking. You frown softly with a light nod as you look around the room.
"Where's Yoongi and Jungkook?" You ask softly as you slowly get up from the sofa and shuffle towards the kitchen. Jin hums softly as Jimin points upstairs and you nod slightly before heading towards the stairs.
"I guess they're upstairs with-" Jimin starts but is cut off by a loud, deep scream of pain. You stop dead in your tracks as you hear the kitchen door fly open and see Hoseok and Namjoon rush to the stairs. You don't hesitate to run to the stairs too as your legs begin to move suddenly under you. "That sounded like Tae." You hear Jimin mutter as he follows the trail up the stairs with Jim closely behind him. You quickly push past Namjoon and open the door to Taehyung's room without hesitation.
Your legs suddenly go from under you as you clutch the door and stare at the horrific scene before you. Taehyung's once beautiful black wings were now half plucked, damaged and lying on the floor. Not on his back. Where the wings once protruded from Taehyung's cream back were two deep gashes that were bleeding black blood rapidly. Taehyung was hunched over with his hands in fists on the ground and his forehead pushed roughly against the solid wooden floor, panting and crying heavily. Yoongi and Jungkook were knelt next to Taehyung with bloody cleavers in their hands, traumatised at what they had just done.
"Don't just let him bleed! Sort it out!" Namjoon cries as he rushes past you and kneels by Taehyung as Yoongi helps Jungkook up and rushes him out of the room. Jin grabs Jimin by the shoulders and quickly drives him out of the room, closely followed by Hoseok while you stayed in the same spot, eyes wide and breathing heavy. As Namjoon carefully helped Taehyung to sit up, Taehyung locked eyes with you and his tears began to run even quicker. He gently pushed Namjoon out the way and held his arms out to you like a child as he cried. You manage to bring yourself from your coma-like trance and rush over to Taehyung to pull him into a tight hug while Namjoon grabbed the first aid things from Jungkook who had quickly returned and began to clean his back.
