Darkness felt endless until your eyes finally adjusted to the darkness. It felt like acid as you swam along. Things--needles or whatever else you could imagine stung at your skin. The pin-sized pokes like tiny bubbles surrounded the whole of you. Your lungs stung from inhaling the decay filled waters. The only comfort was Jimin's hand as it held you.

Pathways and crevices and twists and turns felt like a huge maze. How did Jimin know where exactly to go? How did he know exactly which path to take? You focused on him, and realized that he was just barely sending out wavelengths. Just barely you saw them but you can't feel them. Everything was just too cloudy. It was too thick around you to pick up anything. You tried to send out signals, but even you couldn't fight through the waters.

Jimin sent out another one then jolted suddenly. He turned to you then looked around. You tried, too, but all you saw were grey. Dots, dust, and tissue were all that you saw besides him. It felt silent now and you began to worry when he held you tighter.

Across the threshold you felt a loud ring. A distress signal from Yoongi and Jimin dragged you toward it immediately. But too soon did a huge current push you backwards. It doesn't separate you from Jimin, but as soon as you think you both are clear, someone pushes him violently away from you. A huge glow comes from Jimin's body and they're too quick for you to swim after them.

Behind you you felt a wall push your whole body forward. The pressure of the water in front of you pinned you against the hard surface. It was enough to take the breathe out of you. Just barely you can see it trying to collide with another wall in front of you, so you lean and do your best to swim up and out of the way. Thankfully it's in time and the collision behind you is hard enough to knock you into circles.

Another distress signal comes out and you know that it's Yoongi. You try to follow it but against you're hit with smaller pieces of rock that skid right into your skin like knives. You try to dodge it, but inevitably you take some all over your tail. It hurt and you're not sure how deep they went.

You wailed when the rocks removed themselves from your skin then tried to dodge them again but it's too many and too fast. You felt like you were going to be grinded and torn apart from the inside out, but a tightened grip grabbed you the second the rocks get out of you.

You look up to see that it's Yoongi. He's swimming way too fast for you to fight against him even if you weren't trying to. You both manage to hide behind a rock, and you felt Yoongi press his wrist against your lips. You looked at him confused.

He wanted you to take his blood. Safer?

You want to ask him more and see that he's pointing at himself. He was dangerous and couldn't do it? His head—memories. No control.

You nodded, but you don't even know what ability you had right now. Quickly you drank his blood. You had no idea how much to take, but you didn't want to render him immobile. When you let off he told you to keep going, and you try to fight off the headache as you go along with it.
