When Mathan left, thenightmare began again. The boys would soon come to realize the only time theywere safe was when Mathan was somewhere near. He was the only one strong enoughto slay the monsters lurking in the shadows.

~oooOooo~

The morning started off innocent enough. Mathan left and several new guards came in, carefully watching BTS as they cooked, ate, helped Taehyung wash up and re-bandage, and cleaned up. Nothing was said but none of the boys felt comfortable in these new guards' presence.

"Where did the faceless ones go?" Jimin whispered as they sat on the dog-pile of mattresses they had created.

"Mathan..." Jin started, "the one who saved Taehyungie...he hurt a lot of them. I think very badly," he finished softly, watching the color drain from his brothers' faces.

Namjoon snorted at that, mumbling something under his breath and Jin once again had to control himself; but the others immediately picked up on the tension in the room as the two refused to speak directly to one another.

When lunch came the guys knew that something was definitely up and so all of them stayed on high alert, Jimin and Jin sitting with Jungkook while Hoseok and Namjoon sat with Taehyung. Yoongi had retreated back to his far corner staring out of the peep hole in the blankets as the three guards from breakfast brought in a few groceries and items to make a light lunch with.

Carefully rising, Jin and Hoseok took the cart from the guards, never giving the men their backs as they backtracked into the kitchen, sorting the groceries and deciding on jjigae.

"They really get steak here?" One guard asked as the three lowest level lackeys watched the boys unpack their food, utensils gleaming in the low light of the room.

"I know, right? Fed like kings," another one said with a roll of his eyes. "All we get is fucking slop. Shit isn't even fit for pigs."

"Wait until they try to chew that garbage," said the third. "It's like chewing on a tire. Boss said to give them knives today and watch them try to cut it."

"He really gave them knives?" the second one asked wide-eyed. "Isn't he afraid they'll try to, I don't know, use them? Like weapons, I mean. "

"Seriously?" the first one asked with a laugh. "Exactly how are they going to do that? Those pretty boys probably ain't never seen a knife before. I doubt they even know how to use one. Don't they eat with sticks or some shit over there?"
