Heartbeat (ON HOLD)

One Step Closer

Your POV

I shake my head. "I don't... I don't understand. I was in your house, why did you take me from your own house?" I asked looking at Jungkook. He sighs. "It's a long story, first let me explain that we are not who you think we are." I raise my brow. "What do you mean? Are you shapeshifters or something?"

He laughed a little and shakes his head. "No, no we're nothing like that." He looks at the other two. "Look, it's hard to explain, but I know we only have a limited amount of time." I raise my brow again, confused by all of this. "We're not from this timeline." I blink. "What?"

Taehyung's POV

I woke up and sat up shakily. "Hyung, you have to rest. The less you use your body, the longer the minimal blood you have will sustain you." The voice of Jungkook tells me. I nod my head, and sit up against the headboard. "I guess that means I can't help look for her... does it." I open my eyes, seeing my fellow leader's blurs. "Sorry Taehyung." Hoseok said.

"No, it's my fault.... I should've realized sooner." I close my eyes again, not having the energy to keep them open. "Realized what sooner?" Namjoon questioned. "That I became attached..." I trailed, still not wanting to admit the other thing. "Taehyung." He pressed. I don't say anything. "Taehyung, you know what it means when your body gets attached."

I still stay quiet. "Taehyung, be reasonable. You know that it means your body chose her as—" "I know. What it means Hyung... I know..." "But....?" He sighed exasperated. "But... I..." "You still can't accept it, can you?" "... no.... I can't." "Why the heck not?!" Yoongi shouts, very fed up with me at this point. "I.... I don't know...." "You want to see her before you admit anything."

".... I do...." "Why?! I don't understand!" "We don't need to understand... we just have to find her." They continued their conversation as I started to fade into sleep again. I hope we find her... I don't want to know what will happen if we don't.

Jungkook's POV

"How much longer do you think he'll last?" I asked as he fell asleep again. "Three days at most, a couple hours at least." I rubbed my eyes. "I hope three days... we need to find her... I don't want to know which will happen if we don't..." "None of us do but, we've got nothing Jungkook, no leads, nothing." "I know but—" I paused when I saw the crest still in his hand.

"Hyung..." "What?" I pointed. "Look..." "Her crest, Jungkook, I don't understand." I looked at him. We're idiots. We're actually idiots. "The Bloodhounds... we've tried everything BUT the Bloodhounds." "That's because when they find her they'll eat her." "Not if we stop them before they do."

"Jungkook what are you getting at." "We need to find her, we use the Bloodhounds to track her down, feed them something else before they eat her, we save Taehyung." He took a deep breath. "That's risky, Jungkook." "It's worth a shot isn't it? We could lose Taehyung if we don't try."

"We could lose him if we don't get a hold of the Bloodhounds." "But we have to try." He hesitates before sighing. "I hate it when you're right." I let out a quiet yes, before continuing. "But how do we get it out of his hand?"  "Good question..." I stand up and carefully try to peel it from his hands, as soon as I do his eyes snap open and he glares at me. Hard.

"What are you doing?!" "Trying to fin (Yn)." "And how will taking this from me do that." I hesitated. "You won't like the idea." He raises a brow at me. "Jungkook." I sigh. "We're going to try the Bloodhounds." Nothing is said for several minutes. His mind processes and his eyes widen. "Do it." I blink. "Pardon?"

"I said do it." He drops the crest into my hand. "Find her. Please... I can't lose her." He whispers desperately. I look over at Namjoon, who nods and stands. "We start now." I grip the crest and start to walk out, I turn back to Taehyung. "We'll find her Hyung. I promise, if not, I'll fix it, no matter what I have to do to do so." "Just find her..." With that I leave.

Namjoon already had the Bloodhounds out. "Are we sure about this?" Jin asked nervously. "We have to... for Taehyung." "For Taehyung." They repeated. I take a deep breath and held the crest in front of the Bloodhound's noses. They started smelling, I look up at Namjoon and Hoseok who had the leashes. I hope this works.

They stopped and looked up, their eyes turned red and they started running. Our eyes widened. "They found her."

Your POV

"What?" I asked again. "We only have a few minutes but... this was the only way." Hoseok said. "Please explain, how?" "In our timeline... you didn't run away from Taehyung in the first place, but you still fell in love with him. But not because of teasing, just because of him. He also doesn't give you the crest in that time line." I blink trying to process what Namjoon just told me.

"Eventually, like most Bloods, you died out." Oh... "But there was a problem." "Problem?" I asked tilting my head confused. "His body became attached... it rejected any other blood." "Attached? To me?" Jungkook nodded. "So he couldn't drink..." He again nodded confining my statement.

"Which led to one of two things his death or..." He trailed. "Or becoming a Bloodsucker." Hoseok finished. I now got a good look at them, they looked stressed and tired. "He became the second one... killing anything and everything including...." Hoseok trailed. My eyes widened. "You three are here because you were the only ones who escaped... he... he killed—" "He killed, Jimin, Jin, and Yoongi and their Bloods. He got ours too... but, we managed to get away."

"So why did you take me then?" "This was the only way to get him too—" There was suddenly a loud sound, their eyes widened. "We're out of time. (Yn) listen to us, he does—" Jungkook gets cut off as there's a flash of blinding light and they're suddenly gone. What. Just. Happened?
