Locked [hiatus]

Its getting messy

And immediately, Hoseok lifted her up with his one hand and placed her onto his horse.

With her finally on his horse, he swiftly redirected the direction of his horse, barely missing the cliff.

Celeste was sitting in front of Hoseok, she would move behind but they had no time to do so. Hoseok grabbed both reins and rode the horse while Celeste was sitting in between both his arms and holding onto his left shoulder.

This was extremely embarrassing for her, but she just looked over his shoulder. Some of the army fell off the cliff to their death, but some were still chasing after them.

"FINISH THEM OFF" Five ordered as the men charged as the poor villagers. They did nothing wrong, he knew. He closed his eyes once again as the men continued with their job. They were at a village located near the dessert, hot and humid.

But this was Calseloux's orders, he had to obey.

'Kill till one dares to talk' Namjoon's words repeated in his head.

"STOP! ILL-ILL TALK" Five turned his head towards the direction of the voice.

It was a young girl,  maybe about 10 or 11. She stood in the middle of the people with the sun shining on her. Her once creamy white ribbon dress had been coated with dust, turning grey and dirty.

"P-please don't kill them anymore" The girl cried out.

"D-don't kill"

The head of guards was about to slash her when Five signalled him to hold.

Five stepped closer to the young girl but she cowered in fear. Was this it? Scared, fear, cowering away from Calseloux, your island's soon to be rulers?

Shouldn't the people naturally look up to Calseloux, shouldn't people not be afraid of their ruler? Why is there fear? Wait why was he even thinking about this, he shook his head lightly.

"What's your name?" Five asked, he didn't know why he did so but it just felt right.

"Just kill me, dont k-kill the people"

Wow, such a young girl, using herself as a sacrifice for the people of the village.

"You would die for them?"

"They are m-my people, like my family, i g-grew up here, my family"

Five as in awe. For she was selfless, but why was he doing this again? Feels so right though...he thought.

"Whats your name?"

"A-areum"

"Come meet your new sister Jin" his mother called out.

Small jin peeked into the room, slowly approaching his mother.

"She's... she's...adorable!" Jin looked back at his mother with big eyes.

"Your sister, Areum"

"I promise i'll take care of her mother" Little Jin did a mini salute which his mother smiled fondly on.

What was happening to five-I mean jin.

They were separated but not fully, celeste and hoseok, taehyung and yoongi, but jimin was alone.

It wasn't like modern day where you could just send a text from your handphone and get your location.

"Jimin will be safe right?" Yoongi was worried, he had just reunited with his brother after so many years. He didn't want to lose him again.

"Of course, maybe he's with hoseok?"

Yoongi had his hands together, a praying position. His eyes were dull, but you could tell it was full of worry inside.

Taehyung sat beside him and patted his back slowly. They weren't anywhere near hoseok and celeste, they were on the mountains and had lost the army by now. At least, they hope. He was worried about Celeste too, but that worried eased a little when he knew hoseok was with her.

The two sat in silence in front of the fire, the fire set out mini sparks, the sound of it was comforting though. Somehow.
——————
"You think my brother would do fine?"

"He's strong and capable, of course he would" Hoseok lit up the fire with a snap of his fingers. They were on the mountains too, but not the same ones as Taehyung and Yoongi's. They were nearer to the west while the other 2 were nearer to the east.

Jimin, well, he was alone, not fully though. he had his horse. He was nearer to the north since he rode straight ahead. He was originally on flat ground, which was dangerous so he made his way up the mountains. (yes all of them are on mountains)

He sighed as he reached nearer to the top, he found a place in the mountains that he could stay for the night.

The team was separated as the moon appeared in the dark navy blue sky, it was a full moon. It sat in the skies looking like a king with stars accompanying it. If Delcanville didn't exist, would all this happen?

Would it be better if Delcanville ceased to exist? Would it?

Hoseok sighed, at the same time where all of them sighed...from their now far away positions. It was time to sleep , to rest, so as to have energy for the next day.

Jimin was in the midst of his sleep as he leaned against the walls of the mountain in a shallow cave , closing his eyes when he heard footsteps.

"Oh come on, not now" He sighed as he tighten his grip on his sword, not rearing it out just yet. His horse was resting on the ground beside him and seemed to be awake too.

The footsteps got nearer, Jimin couldn't make out who it was. It was a hooded figure standing at the edge. The figure was barely seen, only the tip of the figure's cloak could be slightly seen which caused him to immediately reared out his sword. It was a silver sword, that glistened under the minimal light.

He eyed the figure sharply and took a few steps nearer till he was just beside it. With a swift move, he placed the sword at the figure's neck.

The figure turned to him. The eyes were ice blue meeting his own dark shadowed ones. He recognised it as soon he made eye contact with him.

His eyes widened and immediately dropped his sword.

"z-zandra?"
