You looked around tiredly. Water and blood filled the floor. There was only a few strangers but luckily each of them were inside. You would have guessed that they'd been told to not pay attention because they all were still in place. Looking around you see that Hoseok's by one of the walls, but you can't reach him. He seems conscious but wounded.

Jimin was floating in the water, so you pulled him up. It's difficult but you held onto the railing as soon as you could. Red was starting to fill the pool worse now so you looked to Yoongi.

"Yoongi!" You yelled out and Jin helped him stay up. He looked at Taehyung and called out to him.

"Hey, red eyes!" Jin yelled, "Tell us right now—are you going to help us or are we going to have to kill you, too?"

The lighter colored Taehyung looked at Jin then at everyone else before he stepped next to Jin.

"How can I help then?" He asked.

"Y/N's too weak so I need you to heal him." Jin said then explained to him how to do it.

You looked at Jimin who now lay in your arms. Thankfully he was still able to breathe.

You pushed his brightened white hair out of his face. Neither of you had changed back to human form and you aren't sure why. You couldn't remember how you did it the first time.

Gently you caressed his now cold skin—this was the first time you'd ever seen Jimin in this form. Gold, white and clear scales faded from his neck and parts of his face. It was more prominent in his fins were his legs used to be.

You looked to Yoongi but his contrasted Jimin. He was a deep purple hue that faded to an almost fuchsia color. You could see some parts of his were blue. Still, it was hard to see through the murky red water.

As you held Jimin you looked towards Hoseok who was stumbling towards you.

You tried to wave at him to stop, "You shouldn't move! Hoseok, are you okay?"

Hoseok seemed out of breath but from how bloody his clothes were, you couldn't see how wounded he was. He nodded as he sat down near you, "I'm fine. Nothing new, really. He just bit me a few times while I was trying to calm him down. It looked like it hurt.."

"Hurt?" You asked.

"Turning back into a siren." Hoseok said, "Are you guys going to be stuck like this for a while now?"

"I'm not sure.." You said, "I don't.. remember.."

"Y/N.." You heard Taehyung behind you, so you looked to him. It was the real Taehyung—the Taehyung you knew. "What.. what is all this?"

For what felt like hours Jungkook, Jin, and Namjoon tried to clean up. The copy of Taehyung took care of the people standing by and told them to wait at the lower decks so that they weren't in the way.
