The Omega House

Chapter 5

The moon was high in the sky and Jimin held onto Jungkooks hand tightly. They stood by the front gate to The Omega House, hidden by the vines and shrubs that covered the walls. They were waiting for the guard to get close enough for Jungkook to stick him with the poisoned needle in his hand. Now that the moment was here, excitement had been replaced by fear, which was followed by the urge to throw up. He had always hoped for this moment, but never thought it would come. Now that it was here and he was leaving, a part of him didn't want to. The Omega House was a prison, a reminder of the daily torture he suffered, but in some ways it was his home and part of Jimin would miss it dearly. He swallowed everything down as best as he could and squeezed Jungkooks hand tightly. Jungkook got the signal from his lover and looked at him, giving him a soft reassuring look.

Jungkook turned back to his task and let go of Jimins hand, moving closer to the gate silently. He focused as best as he could and watched the guard as he walked back and forth repeatedly. As he walked to the left side of the gate where Jungkook waited, he paused and turned back to walk the other way. Before he could stick him with the needle, Jungkook was stopped by Jimin pulling him back. He turned and saw Jimin mouthing words to him, telling him the guard was too far away. When he looked back he saw what he meant. While Jungkook could easily reach far enough to stick him with the needle, they wouldn't be able to get the keys off of him when he fell.

Knowing he needed to improvise, Jungkook ushered the three back into the bushes behind them a little bit and when they stopped Jimin realized that the need to throw up wasn't from fear. He bent over and threw up onto the ground. A horrible and loud retching noise came from the small omega as he continued to empty the contents of his stomach. The sound was enough to alert the guard who turned to see Jungkook standing by the gate. He walked over mumbling about the noise he was hearing and unlocked the gate, stepping inside.

As he did, he looked towards the bushes they hid in, Jimin still throwing up everywhere, and asked, "What's that noise? Where's The Prince?"

Jungkook walked up behind the alpha and grabbed the sword that sat on Daesae's hip. Within seconds he pulled it from its sheath and threw it aside. Before the guard could protest, Jungkook threw his arm around the guard's neck, covering his mouth. He stuck the needle into his neck and as he lowered him to the ground Jungkook whispered, "I'm sorry about this Daesae, but my child won't be born inside this prison."

The guard grew groggy, and Jungkook turned back towards the bushes worried about his sick lover. Jimin stepped out of the shadows wiping his mouth on the back of his arm. As he did he walked over to the groaning man on the ground and pulled a black silk envelope out of his sleeve. He bent down to the guard, and placed it in his hands. Daesae looked up with his eyes wide and Jimin said, "Make sure my brother gets that."

Daesae nodded and put the envelope inside his shirt before passing out and Jimin stood up looking at the open gate. He had dreamt of this his entire life, of the chance to walk out of that gate and leave The Omega House for good. Now that the gate was open and his dream was coming true, Jimin felt a pang of sadness in his gut. He turned and looked at the small building that he had lived in since he was a child, and a few tears escaped his eyes. Jungkook grabbed his hand and whispered that it was time for them to leave. Jimin nodded and turned around, switching the hand that held Jungkooks as they walked out of the gate, the women following behind Jimin.

Getting off of the Palace grounds was not as easy as Jungkook had anticipated, guards littered the grounds everywhere. He pulled Jimin into a dark part of the courtyard and they sunk down too their knees. He looked around, trying to find a safe route to their destination. The hard part wasn't getting there; it was getting there without leaving a trail of bodies behind him. Even though Jungkook knew there was a very good chance he would have to kill a few of them in order to succeed, he didn't like the idea of doing so. Most of the guards were decent enough, but like him they had to make a living somehow.
