Thal wasn't sure how to feel as she locked the door behind her. Taehyung had stayed in the cab as she went in and she already missed him?

She shook her head, "Damnit, I don't like him. I barely know him,"

But she had to admit that there was something so magnetic about him. He was extremely handsome and had been kind and gentle with her. He was patient and had a nice smile and when he touched her she felt-

"Okay fine!" Thal snapped out loud, "I like him, so what?! Is it a crime to like someone?!" She was a little surprised that she was thinking of Taehyung instead of the fact that she was a Siren, but she couldn't get him out of her head.

Before she could gather her thoughts, a knock sounded from the front door and Thal's heart leapt to her throat. It was either Taehyung, Jungkook or Hana.

She was hoping it was Taehyung.

She quickly moved to the door, unlocked it and pulled it open, a smile on her face.

"Oh," She said when she saw that it wasn't Taehyung, "Can I help?"

The Poseidon was in a foul mood and Seokjin was lucky to sneak away unnoticed. He had told another guard that he was taking a break and headed out to the back of the palace towards the kelp forest.

All levels of the palace were guarded well, but the kelp forest had a secret. There was a cabe system underneath that lead to an entrance right in the middle of the kelp.

Namjoon was already waiting as Seokjin arrived and they clasped hands in greeting.

"I hope you've got good news," Namjoon rumbled, "Our leader is getting even more impatient,"

Seokjin sighed, "It's all my fault. I helped her leave that night and I don't know where she went,"

Namjoon smiled, "He's grateful that you got her out," He replied, "And you've been keeping us up to date since. So, any news?"

Seokjin ran his fingers through his hair, "I've heard that Taehyung located where they are staying but hasn't seen the Queen. He's made contact with the Princess, though,"

"Excellent!" Namjoon said, "I'll pass the news on. Can you find the address?"

"I can try but I'm not making any promises," He took a deep breath, "Do you know when it's going to happen?"

Namjoon shook his head, "It's coming soon but we aren't fully mobilised yet. You'll be the first to know so you can get out,"

They clasped hands again, "Until next time," Seokjin said.

"Until then,"

The man at the door seemed familiar but she couldn't place him. He was taller than her with dark hair and eyes that were as cold as ice, despite the deep brown colour.

"Princess Thalassa," He smirked, leaning on the door frame, "Finally we meet,"

Realisation struck Thal like lightning and she stepped back shoving the door closed.

"Oh, I don't think so," The Prince overpowered her, pushing her inside as he moved. He backed her up into the wall, grabbing her wrists when she tried to hit him, "We've been looking for you for a long time," He smirked, "Well, I've been looking for you. My Father doesn't give a shit anymore. He just wants his queen back,"

Holding her wrists with one hand, Yoongi pinned them to the wall and stroked a long finger down her cheek.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Prince Yoongi, heir to the Ocean throne and son of the Blood King, the Poseidon. You were born to be my bride, so kindly don't put up a fight as I take you home with me,"

Thal struggled in his arms, feeling pathetic about how much stronger he was, "Let me go!" She demanded, bringing her knee up hard and fast to hit him in the groin,"

Yoongi laughed, pressing her body to the wall with his hips, "Have it your way, my Princess,"

"Okay, you can do this, she said she'd still be your friend," Jungkook was pacing outside Thal's apartment block on the opposite side of the street. He had her work from school, as well as a bag full of her favourite snacks, "Why am I so nervous?! Get it together!"

After a few deep breaths, Jungkook steeled himself and moved to cross the road, but stopped short when he saw a dark haired figure emerge from the front door with a limp body in his arms.

"Thal?!"

Jungkook dropped the bags and raced across the road, but the man climbed into a car which promptly took off.

"Hey! Thal!" He chased after the car, but he had no chance of catching up to it, "Fuck!"
