Taehyung continued to lie there for what felt like hours, he looked at the ceiling of the cave and began to look for images within the rock lines, the ground underneath slightly shook, he sat up straight eyes wide as he watched the large shadow enter the cave causing darkness to cover the area, the darkness cleared and he was met with the familiar black and red of his dragon, he gave him his boxy smile and jumped up moving to the side making room for him, the beast walked forward and dropped something on the ground before slumping down and nudging it towards Taehyung, he looked at the dirty and blood animal carcass before him, he pulled a face of disgust before his gaze softened on the dragon, he ran out it throwing his arms around it's neck
"You brought this for me?" he laughed when the animal grunted and nudged him
"I really appreciate it Pecky, I'm sorry, I can't eat this though, you go ahead, you have to be strong so that bully doesn't hurt you again!" his dragon whimpered a little before huffing, Taehyung laughed and said another sorry, he watched on as the beast started to tear away at the meat, his stomach rumbling, Peckers head snapped towards him, a low growl coming from deep in his throat, Taehyung's mouth became a tight line
"Pecky! it's okay, don't worry about me" the dragon looked away and continued to gnaw at his foodThe cave continued to grow dark as the storm around them carried on relentlessly
"Have I been here a whole day already?" he looked away sadly
"I hope that Jungkook is happy sleeping in my bed and eating comfortably and taking all my families love" he huffed and buried his head into his knees, unaware to him a certain raven haired teen was beside himself with worry and had been looking for the blonde for the entire day, only stopping when he was fatigued and starved
He looked away again and moved to lie his head on the side of his dragon, stroking it's side as he hummed
"I don't know why I get so angry Pecks, it just... it builds up? Seokjin always says it's because of the fire that burns in us, maybe Jungkook is able to be so level headed because he's ice..." he closed his eyes and got lost in thought
"I don't know what the hell that Yoongi meant when he said we were the same, we're nothing alike..." he fell back onto his back, head harshly hitting the cold floor causing him to let out a groan, his dragon nudged him again
"I'm okay boy, I just don't feel well, I just need some sleep" he gave a weak pat to the animals snout and snuggled further into his side, trying to gather as much warmth as he could, without any sunshine the cave had had no opportunity through out the day to warm up, Taehyung could now feel the chill in his bones and paired with the lack of food or any water he was beginning to feel weak, he let the feeling of malaise take over him and he fell asleep in the dark cave for the second night in a rowHis eyes slowly opened as a bright light glared onto his face, he groaned and tried to get up before falling back down, his landing softened by the dragon that had quickly moved to be behind him, he lie back down, the environment around him spinning as his breathing was rapidly slowing, he tried to call out for his dragon but his hoarse voice only managed to let out strained croaks, he dazedly watched on as the dragon passed around him, the beasts gaze never leaving him as it huffed and grunted and gently nudged him, Taehyung tried to close his eyes again, his heavy eyelids wanting nothing more than to get him to sleep again but every time he did the dragon would push him lightly with it's paw
"Peck....let...sleep" his voice was so low and soft, the beast stomped around, snorting and grunting before it stormed out of the cave leaving Taehyung alone to finally close his eyes and sleepFor the second day in a row Jungkook takes leave of the Kim's house with Yoongi in tow in order to look for a certain lost blonde
"Jungkook, we already looked here yesterday..." Yoongi spoke up slowing his horse to a trot as he scouted the area
"I don't care, that was yesterday, this is today" Yoongi sighed and rode to catch up and be side by side with the younger"I'm sorry Yoongi but he's out here somewhere, possibly hurt and-"
"Jungkook, for the last time, this isn't your fault! The kid obviously has some other things going on, you may be a trigger for him but this is not your fault, you didn't force him to childishly run away" Jungkook sighed, his body slumping, he knew Yoongi was right but a part of him also couldn't help but feel at fault, he wished he and Taehyung could get along, they were the only beast masters in the realm and he knew the pair could relate and have someone to talk to who could understand the others difficulties if the blonde would only give him a chance, gripping at the reigns he rode off to the next area, closer to the mountains, he didn't have time to look around them yesterday as darkness had fallen and the area was too dangerous and prone to wild snow storms closer to the peaks, he couldn't to ride before shivers shot through his spine causing him to fall from his horse, he looked up to see Yoongi frozen in place on his steed, eyes wide and full of a slight fear"Did you hear that?" the sound rumbled through the trees, shooting straight through Jungkook's chest as he felt the pain within it, he climbed to his stumbling a little and bolted out of the small forest and into the nearest clearing, he heard Yoongi shouting for him but ignored him, finally reaching the open expanse he looked up towards the snowy peaks where the deafening roars were sounding from, a horrible feeling built up in the pit of his stomach as his brows furrowed, he looked above him to see the shadow of black and blue speeding towards him and landing harshly beside him
"Tugadhtine, let's go!" Jungkook jumped onto the back of his dragon and gripped the spikes that decorated his back, he felt the wind harshly push against him as the dragon sped off into the skies, it was from above that he saw the red and black of Taehyung's dragon, wailing from the top of the mountain
"Doiteain....?" He whispered to himself before tapping the side of his dragon
"Down there, Tugadhtine, fast!" the beast, shot down toward the summit like an arrow, the wind roughly pushing his hair back, the dragon landed with a heavy thud a few meters opposite of Taehyung's, Jungkook jumped off and ran towards the beast
"Doiteain! Where he is!?" he panted out, the dragon puffed out his chest and pushed Jungkook towards the cave, understanding Jungkook ran as fast as his legs could take him into the tunnel, his eyes slowly adjusted to the dim area landing on limp body of the blonde
"Taehyung!" he screamed out and dove to the boy's side, he lifted him up into his arms, his body was cold, almost like ice, he leaned his ear down to his chest, hearing slow and strained breathing for the elder, wasting no time he picked the other up and carried him out of the cave and over to his dragon who dropped low to the ground to allow to boys to climb up, he sat Taehyung's listless body in front of him and gripped the spikes again, the animal flew as fast as it could and landed harshly, almost crashing, into the ground before Taehyung's home, Jungkook jumped off and ran towards the front door with Taehyung, screaming as loud as he could for help, Jimin and Taehyung's father came rushing out at the sound of yelling, eyes going wide as they saw an frantic Jungkook running with a pale Taehyung, his father ran and scooped his son out of the boy's arms as Jimin helped Jungkook catch his breath, he watched on as Mr. Kim rushed away with the blonde behind a large wooden door, he fell to his knees just short of the entrance, the ache in his body finally catching up with himAn hour passed before Mr. Kim walked out alongside an elderly man thanking him and shaking his hand
"How is he?" Jimin nervously asked, Taehyung's father let out a long sighed and dragged his hand along his face, the man beside him stepped forward
"The boy is suffering from hypothermia and dehydration, if Young Master Jungkook had not of found him when he did... it's hard to say if Master Taehyung would still be with us" Jungkook felt his stomach clench at those words, they could of lost Taehyung and it would of been his fault, Mr. Kim invited the younger inside the room to speak to the blondes mother, Jungkook walked in with hesitation, seeing the figure of Mrs. Kim lying by her sons bed, brushing the hair out of his pale face, her own was puffy and covered with dry tears, she noticed the presence of the other and looked up, motioning for Jungkook to take a seat
"Jungkook, dear, I can not thank you enough for saving Taehyung's life, we are in debt to you" Jungkook waved his hands in front of him
"No, no, no, it was nothing, please, it was the least I could do" Taehyung's mother thanked him again and went back to caressing the blonde, Jungkook looked on, the sight was heartbreaking, Taehyung lie there looking lifeless and pale, the pair weren't close but it made him incredibly sad seeing him like this, he paid his respects and well wishes and left the room meeting up with his own parents, he bid farewell to the Kim family and left the North with his familyThat was the last year Jungkook visited the North or saw the Kim's
