Subject X

Chapter 23

The symphony of explosions soars the skies in beautiful wings of music, just screaming through the air, with no planning on stopping. The beautiful melody of the subject X's being released and another building going down to the ground, just as it deserves. Namjoon and Daehwi are holding the shield for the X immortals as they guide them to the tunnels without having any officer hitting them. Underground is Hoseok and his little cupid, Beomgyu, as they direct them where to go. Meanwhile Yoongi is to the other side of the open space with his little werewolf, Seoho, to make sure everything is in order and to calm down the people going insane with Seokjin and Seungmin. Meanwhile Jimin and Yohan are the tail, making sure everyone is making it through in one piece without anyone being left behind. Jungkook and Sunwoo are convincing the guards on evacuating, meanwhile...... This is where things get a little too out of hand.

Taehyung throws himself against a corner of a wall, hiding himself in his own darkness. His skin burning, sizzling under the sudden overwhelming pressure on his chest. Multiple hideous growls escapes through his gritted teeth as he places a harsh hand on his chest, trying hard to keep his calm and not go insane and kill every single last X or mortal left in this building; No matter who they. That hunger only urges and claws against his better judgement, eyes gleaming in a heavy pitch blackness of darkness, fighting to turn gold in order to lose complete control of his mind.

Of himself.

A familiar red haired little demon suddenly jumps in front of him from the floor above, eyes going back to normal from their pitch black darkness; observing Taehyung's golden skin glowing in drench of sweat with shallow breathes oozing out of his chapped parted lips, his body shaking feverishly.

Pain, he's in so much pain.

"He did something else to you," Hongjoong growls, "You can't let it win Taehyung. Let me help-"

"NO!" Taehyung snarls with a demonic growls, a sudden force escaping his body that sent the boy back a few steps, eyes glaring heavily, "Get out, leave me to this mess. Tell them I will catch up-"

The boy is once back to his face and grabs the collar of his black jumpsuit and throws him to the ground, getting on him with hands covered in a sickly black fog, "This will be a temporary aid. Don't let the angels catch you like this, their instinct will be to kill you," And the boy slams his hands down to Taehyung's chest, right on his mark, causing a strained scream to escape his lips in return.

Taehyung slaps a hand against his mouth as the boy pours all of his darkness onto him, filling him with more and more control and awareness than how he ever felt before, letting it overpower this aching trance the fallen angel is dragged in. Hongjoong's eyes suddenly grows heavier and heavier, his breathes coming out in shallow pants, only growing weaker. Taehyung instantly notices this and yanks the kid off him, slamming him to the ground beside him. The boy coughs heavily, gasping for breath while Taehyung rushes to make sure if he's okay. Yeah, maybe Taehyung doesn't like the kid, let alone tolerate him, but he saved him for now.... Risked his own life for him by doing this.

And that does not go unappreciated.

"I-I'm okay, I'm okay," The boy heaves, letting Taehyung help him to his feet, swaying slightly but uses the older as a support to his weak body. The fallen angel looks around for anyone of assistance but in this section they're in, there isn't anyone.

A loud explosion erupts from the floor above, causing a few pieces of the ceiling too fall around the two. Without hesitate, Taehyung hauls Hongjoong to his back and runs through the building in his quick speed.

Windows, he needs to find windows!

This building is different from the rest; Windows are scarce due to the many times an X has tried to escape. So they had to go to the upper floor, where their cages weren't near by. They avoided as many bomb hazard areas or falling ceilings or walls as much as possible.
