Jungkook's POV

"This is that Princess' room, isn't it? What was her name again...Hana?" The widow deliberately tries to piss me off even more by bringing me into her room, and mentioning her name.

I haven't set foot in this room for 5 years. The last time I did, I snuck into Heaven and stayed with Hana up here, then fell asleep. It doesn't seem like it all happened that long ago, but it surprisingly did.

"Tell me your highness, what happened to her?"

"Shut up." I hiss whilst gritting my teeth.

I spin around and lash my leg out, hitting the widow eith my foot and sending it backwards. But it doesn't stay down for long and is already back onto its feet.

"Oh, that's right! She was killed. I wonder by who..." I can sense the sarcasm and amusement in its voice, as I'm pretty sure it knows who.

Clenching my fists together, I step forwards. "I said shut up!"

Taking out my dagger from my side, I swiftly throw it right at its head. But, it ducks at the last minute, swerving its leg out to trip me up. It succeeds, but I immediately jump back up.

We continue our all-out fight, colliding and slamming eachother into some of the items in the room, like the dressing table, wardrobe and bed.

However, whilst panting, the widow turns its head towards the balcony window. Then, its gaze fixes on something outside and it stops moving. Confused, I follow its gaze.

Because we are in perfect view of the cloud haven, we can clearly see a little innocent face standing right at the edge, looking over in our direction and curious of what battle is unfolding down here.

Oh no.

"So that's where she is." Turning back towards me, it cackles lightly.

It readys it's daggers in it's black veined hands, loosening its shoulders and getting prepared to take me down to get to Talia.

Without thinking, I quickly turn around and bolt out of Hana's room. Running down the hallway, I approach the balcony overlooking the hall where the others should be.

My hands tightly grasp at the rails."It knows, it knows where she is!" I yell at the top of my lungs.

They all turn their attention to me in alarm, and their faces drop and eyes widen from what I've just yelled to them.

However Namjoon raises his hand up, pointing to something behind me."Jungkook watch out!"

"Wha-" My words are cut off from when a pair of hands violently drag me away from the rail, pushing me hard to the ground.

The widow hovers above me. It sets its knees either side of my body, lowering its face right above mine.

It also pins my hands above my head with it's own, then letting its force replace them. No matter how much I try resisting this invisible, pain in the ass force, it doesn't budge.

Reaching out to the biggest dagger it has strapped to its waist, it holds it with both hands and raises the dagger above its head.

"I wasn't originally going to kill you but, I figured I'd put you out of your misery."

My breath quickens, staring right back into them deep, glowing red eyes. I can tell its smirking whilst watching me panic.

I hear the others down below yelling my name, running up the spiral staircase but the widow instantly flings them backwards with its powers.

Accepting my fate, I squeeze my eyes shut and wait for the dagger to pierce my chest and take my life away.

Just as I hear the sharp sound of it gliding through the air, I also hear the door to the Palace pushed open and hurried footsteps running inside.

And what I hear next, makes my eyes fling open.

"KIM HANA!"

When I stare back at the widow, its face is hovering above mine. Instead of striking the dagger in my chest, it struck it down just above my head when Taehyung yelled that name.

But...why did he yell that name?

I then become confused as I watch the widow's eyes slowly fade from red to a brown colour. The veins go from that horrid colour of black to a calm coloured skin tone, and the widow now doesn't looked so angry.

Letting go of the dagger, it rests one hand next to my head, and the other making it's way up to it's hood. It gently pulls its down, revealing its head. It's hair is tied back into a pony tail, with little strands lose at the front.

And finally, it reaches to its mask. When it pulls it down and takes it off, my breath catches in my throat and I find that I can't muster up the courage to move an inch.

...you've got to be kidding me.

The girl's face seems saddened, and scared as she stares back into my eyes.

The more I stare at her the more I'm struck with disbelief. My breathing becomes heavy, and my mouth quivers as I open it to speak.

"Hana?"

As I whisper the name that belongs to her, she doesn't show any reaction. She just continues to stare at me.

But then, she quickly stands to her feet. Transforming into her wolf, she bolts down the hallway and jumps out of the window right at the end.

I too stand to my feet in utter shock, as I watch her run. I turn to look at the others at the bottom, and they're just as shocked as I am.

Especially the angels. They can't believe they just saw who they saw.

Taehyung is holding a necklace in his hand, which I now notice. He holds it up for me to see, and my heart drops even more.

That's my necklace.

So that means it is Hana.

I have to go after her. Turning into my wolf also, I run down the hall and jump out the window, following her footsteps to wherever she's ran off too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, just in case anyone is confused right now:

Remember the prologue? When them two angels dropped and broke that jar onto what they thought was just the floor?

Well, it wasn't. It was Hana's grave.

And what did the jar contain?

A black widow.

And so, that black widow went inside Hana's body and boom! A new black widow was born :D
