Blood Bank

The moment Jungkook reentered the room he saw the hooded figure rush out with Aera's unconscious body. He fumbled to put at least pants on and grabbed his phone. He ran after them and dialed Jimin's number.

"What's up bro? It isn't like you to ca—"

"There's an intruder and he took Aera. I'm hot on his trail." Jungkook said. "He's wearing a black cloak and has some mask on."

He hung up and focused on chasing after the intruder. His blood boiled as the same mocking voice echoed in his head.

"Accept that you're a monster. Accept me."

"I don't need you! I need her!" Jungkook growled. He hit his head as the voice laughed at him. He felt lightheaded as his ears began to ring. She stumbled and tried to get up. "Fuck!"

Meanwhile Jimin rushed down the hall and spotted the intruder. He ripped a piece of the curtain and grabbed the silverware on a table. He spun a bit before letting the silver leave his hands. He smirked as it lodged into the person's back.

Jisung arrived shortly and watched as Jimin ran down in an instant. Just as Jimin was about to grab the intruder by the neck, the unidentified man slashed him with a dagger. Her cried out in pain and fell back. It burned his skin like acid and for some reason, the cut didn't heal right away.

"Get your ass back here you knitted condom!" Jisung cursed. She used her magic to pull the bars off of windows and shot them at the intruder. The intruder stopped and used Aera as a shield. "Shit."

Jimin used every ounce of strength he had to jump and take the hit, just barely saving Aera. Blood pooled out of his mouth as he fell back and unconscious. Jisung ran down in horror as she approached Jimin's limp body.

"I'm sorry baby." She softly apologized. She glared at the direction the intruder went and used the last bit of her energy to cast a tracking spell on him. "Hoseok I'm going to connect the tracker to your vision. I'll catch up with you guys."

Jisung forced her magic to work despite her energy being at zero to remove the bars and heal his wounds. Jimin's eyes slowly opened as his wounds began to close.

"You're pushing yourself again." Jimin croaked.

"Your blood bank will be here shortly. I'll just move and you rest okay? I'm sorry." Jisung murmured. She kissed his forehead and moved him to a safe spot.

"You have to rest you could collapse." Jimin scolded. His wife only smiled.

"As long as I can walk and breathe I can fight." Jisung said. She ran out and followed after.

Meanwhile Hoseok, who was outside of the palace, caught sight of the intruder and ran after him. Jungkook had joined him a while back and to add to the elder's worry, he was pale.

"I'm going to fucking kill him." Jungkook growled.

"You can't rush in without a plan Jungkook. This guy is smart." Hoseok said. "It's like he knows our fighting style and that's scary. We need to corner him."

Jungkook's eyes flashed from white to the neon aqua blue. The monster inside of him only spoke more as he struggled to keep control.

"I can save her in the blink of an eye."

"Shut up!" Jungkook shouted. Hoseok raised a brow at him but shrugged it off as he saw his opening.

"Jungkook you see that tree trunk over there. Throw it directly at him when I tell you to." Hoseok instructed. Jungkook pulled himself together before skidding to a stop. He pulled the large trunk up from its resting place. "NOW!"
