O3:O3 am | p.sh

purge au , contains weapons, death, blood, and cussing!

four more hours until this is over, you think as you hide away in an alley.

you had managed to escape this psycho, but not without suffering some injuries. you manage to get away with a knife, but you aren't sure how useful it will be against the more powerful weapons.

fuck this is a nightmare, you think again as you try not to cry at how scared you were. god please save me!

you hear guns go off in distance and you can only hope that they stay in the distance and far away from you. you didn't ask to be apart of this sick game, your friends were dead and you were too afraid to try and call anyone.

"where the hell did that fucking bitch go!"

fuck it was that psycho again. you pray that they don't find you, but start to tremble when you hear their footsteps grow closer. the grip on your knife tightens as the get closer.

"well what do we have here?" one of them says as they grab you by the hair and force you up to your feet. you let out a cry as you slammed into the brick wall behind you, and you accidentally drop your knife.

fuck!

"did you think you could hide from me, huh?! you dumb bitch!" you feel something cold press against your throat and you glance down to see a knife.

"please, just let me go!"

"you lost your chance to beg for your life when you ran away! stupid bitches don't get second chances!" he says and you feel the blade press harder and you begin to cry because this is it, you're gonna die.

BANG!

you scream at the loud sound of a gun going off and then the feeling of the knife against your throat is gone. all you can hear is the thumping of your heart and maybe a little ringing as you watch the psycho collapse to the ground, dead.

you hear footsteps approach you and look to see someone dressed in all black. a face mask covers half his face but you can still see how emotionless his eyes were. you watch as kicks the dead psycho away before he looks up at you.

"y/n?"

"s-seonghwa?"

he took part in the purge? is that why he never left the city with you? you reach out looking at the man that was your boyfriend with shaky hands as you let out a sob. he quickly pulls you into his chest before sinking the both of you down back onto the ground and hidden behind the dumpster.

"what the hell are you doing out here!" he hisses at you and you explain about the psycho breaking into your apartment and basically killing your friends and how you had managed to escape.

"seonghwa... i-i was so terrified. i really thought i was gonna die," you say looking up at him as he runs a hand over your hair.

"i'm sorry i wasn't there to protect you. i thought you would have been safe like the previous years. fuck! i should have been there and then none of this would have happened," he says and you watch as he stands up and starts stomping on the dead body, basically making the guy unidentifiable now.

"seonghwa, please!" you say grabbing his hand making him stop his actions. after a few moments he calms down before crouching back down in front of you.

"y/n, i know you're afraid but i need you to be brave for me. i need to get you to a safe place. i promise i will let nothing happen to you."

he stands up holding his hand out for you to take, "do you trust me?"

you nod, "i trust you," and you grab his hand.
