Found Again (Rewriting)

Chapter 6

"No! Don't! Sto–" a large piece of glass zipped through the air and stabbed into his stomach. The taste of iron filled his mouth as he collapsed on his knees, blood dribbled down his chin.

A boy with dull eyes entered his eyesight. The boy had blood streaming from every possible entrance in his head: his mouth, his nose, his eyes, his ears.

The impaled boy fell the rest of the way to the floor, his body numb as his chest struggled to rise and fall with each shallow breath.

The other boy looked at him as his eyes blinked multiple times. He called out to the numb boy but the boy on the floor could only hear his slowing heartbeat. His vision blurred before darkness consumed him, but he could have sworn that he heard someone screaming far away.

–––––––

"Jungkook."

"Kookie?"

"Jungkookie~!"

"Jungkook!"

"JUNGKOO–" Hoseok started, his hand on the younger's shoulder.

"Huh?" Jungkook snapped out of his daze.

"Where'd you go?" Hoseok pressed.

"Nowhere, hyung!" Jungkook replied with his bunny smile, but Hoseok saw that it didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Okay, go catch up to Felix," Hoseok pushed Jungkook forward toward the blind boy leading them down plain hallways.

Little did Jungkook know that Hoseok saw the entire premonition, his hand on the younger's shoulder connected him to the other's dreamland. He sighed.

"You okay, sunshine?" Yoongi bumped Hoseok's shoulder with his own.

"Yeah. Just too many emotions... everyone is so scared and I'm trying to feel other people around... but I can't find anything, or anyone, for that matter," his hands tugged at his black hair. The only sounds he could hear were their own footsteps and the murmuring of conversations ahead of him.

Yoongi nodded his head in understanding at the distressed boy.

"I'm sorry about earlier... did I hurt you?" Yoongi asked.

"No. I put you out before you could have done anything," Hoseok lied.

"I shouldn't have lost control. What if I had hurt you? I would never forgive myself..." Yoongi mumbled as a frown appeared on his face.

'That's why I'll never tell you...' Hoseok thought as he wrapped his arm over Yoongi's shoulders.

"You could never hurt me, Yoonie hyung," Hoseok gave him his contagious heart smile and the older smiled back.

A shushing noise could be heard from the front of the group. The two teenagers looked up to find Jungkook with his ear pressed against a metal door.

"I think I hear tapping?" Jungkook whispered, his fingers twitched as he attempted to replicate the pattern.

.... . .-.. .--.

"That's morse code..." Namjoon declared.

"What's it mean?" Seungmin questioned.

"It's... help... " Namjoon confirmed.

"Chan, open the door," Hoseok demanded.

"What if it's a crazy person?!" Chan exclaimed, afraid of who was locked away.

"It's not. No crazy person feels like this," Hoseok answered, his clouded eyes locked on the door.

Chan walked over to the door and put his hand on the padlock beside it. A beep followed by a click was heard and he slowly pulled the door open.

The light from the hallway penetrated the darkness of the room. The tapping stopped.

"Hello?" Felix walked past Chan and stepped a foot into the doorway. The light from his hands brightened as he attempted to see the mystery person.

"Lix, wai–" Chan started but stopped when a small body jumped onto Felix, knocking him against the wall.

"Hey!" Chan shouted, electricity crackled at his hands.

Felix looked down at the assailant and immediately wrapped his arms around him, the assailant was full-on koala hugging him.

"It's okay. You're okay. I found you. I promised I would. They could never keep us apart. I found the others. You're safe," Felix mumbled into the other's hair, his hands no longer lit as they rubbed up and down the attacker's back.

"Let me see you, huh?" Felix requested the other.

They slowly nodded their head and stepped off of the blind boy. His face was still hidden from the others who stood in the doorway, confused at the situation. Felix slowly lit his hands up and brought them to their face. He gasped and his hands grabbed their face.

"What did they do to you, Innie?" Felix begged the other for an answer but knew he was not getting an answer.

A couple of tears slipped away from the younger's eyes, falling onto the blind boy's hands. Felix pulled the thirteen-year-old into another hug, the younger's shoulder shook as he cried, but no sound came from the younger.

"What's wrong?" Changbin demanded, but before Felix could respond, Seungmin interrupted, "Guys? We have to get going. Someone is going to notice us soon and we still have to find Jimin and Taehyung."

The ones standing in the doorway backed up allowing the two young boys to exit the room, Jeongin's hand grabbed onto the back of Felix's shirt, his face turned toward the ground, keeping it hidden from the others.

The boys pushed their questions and worries aside and followed the blind boy down the hallway, turning left and right over and over again. The feeling of being stuck in a maze trapped some of their minds, raising the tension in their muscles.

As they made another turn, an alarm went off. Felix pushed open a pair of double doors that appeared hidden unless you knew they were there. The others quickly followed, Yoongi was the rear and closed the doors behind them. The lock clicked in place after he took a few steps away from the door.

"Crap! What do we do now?!" Jin stressed.

"Maybe we should turn on the lights?" Namjoon suggested. Yoongi walked back over to the door and touched the surrounding wall, he moved his hands around before he flipped on a switch. Light from the other side of the room cast long shadows behind the boys, causing them to turn towards the light source. They found a large observation window about four feet off of the ground, reaching to the ceiling.

It showed an all-white, padded room, poorly lit by a flickering fluorescent light. The boys crept forward and their eyes trained to a boy curled up in the corner of the room. The boy looked to be about the size of a ten-year-old, his back faced the crowd of boys.

Hoseok stepped backward away from the others and attempted to reach into the boy's mind, but was met with blackness.

Yoongi heard a loud thump behind him, triggering him to turn around. He discovered an unconscious Hoseok on the ground.

"Hobi!" Yoongi ran to him and gently picked the younger boy up. His hand felt wet as he cradled the sixteen-year-old to his chest, he pulled his hand away and was shocked at the sight of blood running down his fingers.

"Jin hyung! Heal him!" Yoongi demanded as he struggled to keep his powers in check. Jin ran over to the pair on the floor and quickly healed the younger, who did not wake up as expected.

"Why won't he wake up?" Yoongi pestered the healer, worry overwhelmed his mind.

"Oops..." an unfamiliar voice rang in their heads.
