Trust The Fate

Chapter 5: Butterfly

The next day, Jimin wakes up with an anxious heart. He doesn't know why, but he has a feeling that something is definitely wrong. The only problem is what. He stretches his body before ruffling his already messy hair. He squints the moment the light rays reach his eyes before going off his bouncy, baby blue bed. It's when he starts sniffing around did he realize what's wrong. Without wasting any more time, he scurries out of his bedroom, only to bump with an equally alarmed Seokjin.

"Jimin."

"Hyung. Her scent-"

"I know, Jimin. Let's go check."

And just like their animal instincts have been screaming into their mind, the said girl is no longer on the bed. Seokjin walks in, sniffing around to get an idea of how she escapes.

"She's still injured, for God's sake! And her leg is bitten! How- how on Earth..." he lets his words trail off as he runs his fingers through his hair.

"Hyung, what are we going to do?"

Jimin is still standing by the doorway. Apparently, he has a hard time believing that the girl escapes, again, and no one notices when. Her scent is barely there which indicates she had long gone, long escapes under their own noses.

"Seokjin hyung, what's going on? Why are you so loud?" Hoseok, peeking from behind Jimin, asks. "Wait, where is she?" he asks.

Only when he looks between Jimin's anxious face and Seokjin's stressed expression did he connects the dots. "Well, shit."

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. You are saying that SHE is gone?! As in, escapes? But, she's - she's injured," Namjoon says. He is pacing to the front and back in the living room. Everyone, including Yoongi, is gathering in the living room after Seokjin, Hoseok, and Jimin decided to wake everyone up. "When? How? Why? Trust me, I am still taken aback at the fact she literally escaped and no one noticed. Hell, we're hybrids, for Pete's sake," Yoongi exclaims. "What are we doing here, then? We should be looking her," Jungkook hops up, looking at his brothers. "It's useless, Jungkook. Her fainting scent indicates that she had long gone," Seokjin says. "But, she's injured. You-you said her leg is either fractured or broken, right? Then she must had not gone that far. Our territory is large, we can find her if we start now," Taehyung says, standing beside Jungkook. After a moment of silence, Jimin also stands up "I'm looking for her. She needs help." "Jimin-" "No, you guys don't understand. You guys didn't see the way she was struggling, the way she was fighting us. She was crying and she just wanted to go home. Yes, she escapes, I mean I would too if I wake up in an unfamiliar place but she might as well die there if we didn't look for her, right now," Jimin states. Messing with his hair once more, Namjoon grumbles before sighing, "Fine. But never, I repeat, never, wander outside of our territory. Bring your own tranquilizer, just in case she is not cooperative." The members nod, though Jimin is a little reluctant before everyone scurries outside into the forest, their rightful territory.

'Deep breaths, Youngmi, deep breaths.' Youngmi is leaning unto one of the trees as she fights for her consciousness. True, she was surprised to wake up on a very soft and warm bed. She almost didn't want to leave, well, it had been a long time since she has a good sleep without nightmares lurking around the corner. 'But, it's unfamiliar. It's not home,' Her mind reminds. So, she forces herself to leave the tempting bed, and once again she was surprised as she looked down onto herself. 'This is not my clothes. They undress me, I know it! They are just the same, they are not different.' She was slipping off the shirt when she was taken aback for the 3rd time. 'My wounds... They- they treated my wound. So, that-that's why. They had to undress me.' She slips it back on. 'But, they're unknown and they're hybrids. This is just one of their methods to use you, to manipulate you.' Once again, the demon in her head speaks up. 'Right, they're hybrids and all hybrids are the same, disgusting scientist experiments.' With that in mind, she doesn't waste any more time as she plans her great escape, again. And here she is. She doesn't know where she is but one thing she knows 'I am still in their territory.' The only way, she knows she'll be safe is by going to another territory but at this rate, it proves to be hard. Well, their territory is very large, larger than Dongmin's even. Her stomach grumbles loudly and she curses as that sound startles her. 'Come on, Youngmi. You can do it. You already escape Dongmin, you sure can escape them. Just ignore the pain and hunger, for now. Once you're no longer with them, you can rest and eat as much as your heart content.' Youngmi takes another deep breath before she runs again, as far as she can before stopping and leaning against the nearest tree, gasping for breaths as she clenches her fist and cringes in an attempt to prevent herself from producing any unnecessary sounds. 'My leg is killing me. Fuck that mutant cheetah.' The pain shot up her leg like fire. She cringed. It exploded in her head with blinding whiteness. It made her dizzy. It made her reel. The pain was like needles that had been dipped in alcohol had been jammed through her skin, like her leg had been replaced with ice and electricity wired straight into her spine. In short, it was unbearable. 'But, you need to continue. You can't give up now. Not now, not yet.' She is drenched with her own sweats from up to bottom, thanks to the excruciating pain in her leg. She is starting to lose consciousness. She is barely coordinated, so maintaining her balance seems to be hard work right now. She's starting to lose focus as she swears she can hear ringing in her ears. And all of that stops as she forces herself to stand upright when she hears voices from distant. 'Shit, it's them.'
