Forbidden Child - JJK (Sequel) ✔︎

#9 - Damage

Irene's POV

I cannot believe that I'm staring at a black widow. How the hell is one even still alive? I don't understand. This doesn't make any sense.

Yeah Talia saw one in her dream, but dreams rarely ever become reality. The events that happen in dreams are crazy. Because the things that they show us are nowhere near true, or are ever going to come true.

Well, except now.

I can tell that it's grinning a wicked smile at us despite wearing a mask, making me want to slap it off.

It doesn't dare break eye contact and neither do we, as we still don't know why it's here in the first place and what it wants.

Then I catch Jiwoo's head turn slightly, as her eyes flicker over to her bow and arrow to the side. I already know what she's thinking.

"Jiwoo, don't move." I whisper, making her stop.

We hold our breaths waiting for something to happen. What, it's just going to make an appearance, scare the hell out of us and then leave? What does it even want with us?

However, my heart drops when it removes something strapped to it's waist, and slowly raises it's hand up whilst holding it, for us to clearly see and identify.

And when I realise what it is, my eyes double in size. "Okay, maybe now we need to move." I squeak, going against my words from earlier and slowly beginning to back away.

It's a grenade.

And it pulls the trigger.

Fleeing from my house which is about to blow up any second now, we sprint to Jiwoo's house opposite.

Just before we enter, Jiwoo grabs her her bow and arrow she wanted to get earlier. After entering, Jiwoo slams her door shut and locks it.

Our ears then ring at the sound of the explosion, shaking the ground and smoke begins to rises from the remains of the house. We stumble from the impact, landing on the still shaking ground.

Mine and Jin's home is gone. My memories of him, everything is destroyed.

I glance up at Jiwoo and she gives me a sympathetic look, like she's reading the thoughts that are flowing freely in my head.

Nari grabs Talia, and then we all make a run to the furthest room in the house: Jimin's room.

As we enter and close his door shut we flinch back down again, as we hear the sound of another explosion of another one of our homes. But we don't whether it's Yoongi's home or Nari's.

"Why the hell is it blowing them up? What good will that do?" Nari whispers, holding Talia to her chest and referring to the crazy black widow outside.

Shrugging my shoulders, I take a peep out of Jimin's window. Because it's facing away from the other houses, all I can see is the outline of the city, where the boys currently are.

"Hopefully they all saw the explosion, because they need to come back now."  I say anxiously.

My head snaps back to the three of them, when a startled gasp rises from Nari. As herself and Talia look down at her ankles, Nari slowly looks back up with a familiar expression on her face. And I think I'm starting to realise it too.

Talia's expression on the other hand is a confused one. "What's happening?"

Nari doesn't have time to respond when both of their bodys are violently dropped to ground, and she loses losing her grip on the 5 year old. They then begin to get dragged backwards whilst on their backs towards the door.
