Hoseok's POV

"Where to go..." Whilst desperately scanning the area, I try to think of a place to hide Talia before the black widow gets here.

We're both standing in the unknown after coming out of the lift, clueless of where to go that's safe. Talia is now wide awake, and since she's in a lot of danger from all this drama I doubt she'd fall back asleep, regardless of being a 5 year old.

"Didn't you say something about a secret underground room, Uncle Hoseok?" Talia asks.

I furrow my eyebrows and look down at her. "When did I say that?"

"I'm sure you did! Where Aunt Jiwoo, Aunt Nari, Uncle Taehyung and Uncle Jimin once went. Now that I think about it, was it Uncle Jimin that told me...and not you?" She mumbles, questions her words.

"Where was this underground room?"

Talia pouts whilst thinking to herself which makes me smile a little, since that's Hana's thinking face murged with Jungkook's thinking face. The pouting is Jungkook, and the narrowing of eyes is Hana.

She looks around before gasping and pointing to a building. It looks extremely old; it's probably the oldest building out here.

"There!" With that final word she bolts right after the building, leaving me standing here confused.

Wow.

"Talia, wait!" I yell and quickly run after her.

Following her behind the old building, she slows her pace to a stop. She then points to a metal plate on the ground, with a latch sitting on top.

"Uncle Jimin once showed me this place, but he said not to go inside unless I'm with one of you. We can hide in here!"

Wasn't this the place where Hana was taken by Donghyun 5 years ago? Ah, now I remember! Jimin, Jiwoo, Taehyung and Nari went to rescue her whilst myself, Jin, Namjoon and Yoongi were fighting and stalling the widow, who at the time was Jungkook. I remember Jiwoo telling me that there was all sorts of weapons down there. That was quite some time ago.

A sense of uneasiness begins to dwell in my stomach, as I think if this would be a good place to hide. I tip-toe to the side of the building and peek out to look at the rest of the unknown. And my heart drops as I can just make out black wings flying in the sky.

She's here.

"The secret underground place will do!" I whisper, running back to the door on the ground and grabbing the handle. With all my strength, I pull and it stiffly opens with a creak. The two of us peer our heads down into complete darkness.

If only I wasn't a warrior angel I could light a ball in my hand to see. Only defender angels can do that, and I'm not one, I'm a warrior. However since Talia is half a defender angel, maybe she knows how to.

"Do you happen to know how to create a ball of light in your hand?" I ask Talia. "Has Uncle Jimin or Aunt Jiwoo taught you yet?"

Talia smiles and nods. "They did!" Opening out her little hand, a ball of light begins to form in it. It grows bigger and bigger to just about fill her palm. She gently let's it go, and it flows down the hole so the ground is now visible.

"I'll go first just in case and I'll call you down, okay?"

"Got it." She replies.

Swiftly I leap down the hole landing with thud. It's pitch black down here, but Talia's ball of light has made the space visible for now. There's a corridor to the left of me, which is extremely dark. That must've been where Donghyun took Hana.
