The Garden of Roses | knj✔

Chapter 14

Cinderella told one too many lies
And got herself swallowed by the wolf
If something doesn't change
He's going to end up eating me too.

She would have never guessed that she will be at this hall again, her joints tied together above her head while she stood there, on the top of the stairway scanning the room with her tired gaze. This place brought so many memories to her, since her early days at this castle to the last few months. There were sad memories, like when she had to pretend that she is happy with her fiancé and danced with him allowing him to touch her body, or that time long ago when Sarah found out about her parents' death as the two of them were playing in that hall. But also this place was the place where she met the love of her life. Yes, she can say that he is the one and only for her now. He went through pain and agony for her and she would do the same for him too. This hall was the beginning and clearly, it is going to be the end too.

A sound of footsteps came from her left side breaking the dead silence in the room. Her tired eyes glanced at the male figure on her left. Yoongi was smiling wickedly holding a knife in his hand. Who would say that this guy, who she saw only a few times before and heard so many terrifying stories about, will be the one to capture her? His eyes were blood-thirsty as he licked his lips looking at her from head to toe. Her wound was still fresh and her bandages were bloody. She was still in that old dress from two days ago, torn and dirty. Her hair was tied up exposing her neck and collar bones. All over her body were small cuts and bruises. Her breathing was heavy and uneven as she watched Yoongi come closer to her.

"Good morning, princess." He said like he was making a joke of her. "How are we feeling today?" The silence was her answer. Is he trying to make a joke about her? She is the princess and she will not fall for provocation like this. Her eyes were looking at him furiously and he just smirked. She couldn't do anything to him tied up like this. And he knew that he was satisfied with the sight of her being helpless and exposed like this.

"Where's your Prince Charming now, princess? Isn't he supposed to save you from the evil wolf like me?" He was just trying to make her more and angrier, and he was very good at it.

"Don't bring Namjoon into this." Y/N's cheeks became a dark shade of red as he touched her body in all inappropriate places trying to embarrass her. She clenched her teeth squirming and trying to get away from his dirty hands. That was vainly, unfortunately.

"Stop moving, princess. I know you like being touched. You're such a little slut." He teased while grabbing her breasts. "Or you just like being touched by that man-slut, Kim Namjoon." He said Namjoon's name as it was a curse. She wanted to punch him so badly, just if her hands weren't tied.

"What are you doing, Min Yoongi?!" A high voice spoke from the other side of the hole. A dark-haired man dressed in royal clothes was standing on the entrance of the hall in shock.

"Jimin!" Y/N said gasping. Was he the one who told Yoongi to do this? To kill all those people? To kill Kim Seokjin? Her eyes filled with tears when she remembered the scene in which Yoongi was mercilessly stabbing Seokjin's stomach.

"Oh, someone decided to crash the party. Hello there, your majesty!" Yoongi said sarcastically. Y/N was so disgusted with his behavior, she wanted to throw up. Jimin rushed to them preparing his sword to fight Yoongi.

"What do you think you are doing? Where did you find her? Untie her instantly!" Jimin was so overwhelmed. His hands were shaking as he pointed at Yoongi with the tip of his sword. Yoongi looked unbothered as he gripped Y/N breast harder. What a sadistic bastard, Y/N thought.

"You really think that you can win in a battle against me, prince?" To Yoongi this all seemed very funny. "I'm one of the most dangerous people in this kingdom and you, my dear prince, can't even tie a bow."

"I may not be able to beat you, but if I will save her by winning against you, then it's worth a shot." Jimin looked more confident as he came closer to Yoongi swinging his sword.

He tried to cut Y/N's ropes so she can try to escape bit Yoongi's blade blocked him. The battle started and it was really hard to watch. Jimin was giving it everything he has; he was doing everything in his power to beat Yoongi. But Yoongi much more skilled than him. He has fought in so many wars and battles, and now he has every trick up his sleeve. Jimin was going upstairs trying to somehow escape from Yoongi while blocking his attacks. It was pointless; he will get him at some point in time. Y/N could just stand there and watch, helpless and hopeless. Jimin shouldn't be doing this, not for her.

"Jimin!" Y/N shouted as both of them stopped fighting to pay attention to her. "Stop this! My life is not worth this! Just save yourself, please!" Jimin was touched and broken when he heard her screams begging him to stop and run away.

"I'm sorry, princess. I must keep you safe. Now let me take care of this so we can talk later." He gave her a gentle smile before he turned his attention back to Yoongi, but it was too late. Yoongi was too close and he pushed Jimin over the stairway fence. A loud thud was the last thing that could be heard. Jimin's lifeless body was lying on the hall's floor. A scream escaped Y/N's lips and tears started streaming down her cheeks. How dare he kill another one of her friends! The rage overcame her body as she wanted to dig up his eyes and cut every single part of his body.

Yoongi came closer to her again, now dragging the tip of the blade over her body slightly touching it. "You are so precious, princess. I wonder what would happen if I cut that beautiful skin of yours." Y/N gulped as his blade was now over her chest and neck.

"Why are you doing this?" Y/N cried still in tears because of Jimin's death.

"Are you seriously that dumb? Do you know who your parents are? They would pay so much money just to have you on safe, and I am willing to take all that money for myself." He smirked as his blade cut her cheek, making her gasp from pain.

"My parents won't pay that money! Not to you!" She exclaimed but he just burst into laughter. The room went silent for a moment and then the door opened widely letting in a tall male figure. She must be dreaming. Is this even real?

"Let go of my girl, you bastard!" Namjoon yelled across the hall while his voice echoed in the room.

"I guess that your knight in shining armor came to rescue you, princess. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to kill one more Kim today. But the road to being rich is hard and bloody." Yoongi sighed as this was just a bother to him. "I think that it would be better for you if you just go to sleep." He hit her head with the hilt of his sword and Y/N fell unconscious.

"How dare you do this to her?!" Namjoon shouted and ran towards them ready to cut Yoongi into small pieces. When he is finished he won't be anything but the dead meat. Namjoon's eyes were filled with wrath and anger as his and Yoongi's sword hit each other. He has heard of Min Yoongi, the famous warrior that killed the most people in every battle he participated in. Just his name would make people run and hide from him. He was merciless and sadistic. But Namjoon was ready to take a risk, if it's for her, he'll do anything. He saw Jimin's dead body on the floor and just glanced at it. Did he tried to protect Y/N from Yoongi and then Yoongi killed him? If that's so, he would even give him a chance, if he wasn't dead. Namjoon's and Yoongi's swords were colliding with each other like they were dancing. There was something poetic in this fight, as they crossed their swords and moved in the room. But someone had to fall, and it was Namjoon. He fell on his back as his sword flew to the other side of the room. Yoongi's sword was just inches away from his face as Namjoon looked at the tip in fear. I really am hopeless, he thought, sorry, Y/N.
