You have made your plan.
You'll be escaping tonight only.

Just now, you eavesdropped the conversation between Mother and Yuna in the living room from stairs.

Mother was telling her to not make dinner for the three men because they won't be coming back home tonight due to some business related work.

This is the only best chance to get out from this place because you don't know if you will get this opportunity later in the coming days.

"Y/n dear."
You looked at Mother who was standing on your door with a sweet smile and walked towards you.

"Mother, how can I help you?" You fakely smiled at her when she sat on the bed in front of you and gently held your hand in hers.

"You know I am so happy that you have started accepting us, this family."

"Mother, thanks to the efforts Taehyung made to make me believe. I will make sure to protect this generation from the curse and keep this legacy alive."

You rubbed her hand when tears formed in her eyes after hearing you. Probably got emotional at your perfect lies.

"You know I was same like you. At first I also didn't understood anything but when my Mother told me about the tradition, my thoughts were same like you. To keep this legacy alive."

She wiped her tears and pulled out a locket from her pocket of gown and smiled softly at you.

"This is the family's locket that has been passed onto the last chosen one in each generation. Since, you are the last one of this nineth generation and that you have accepted of who you are, this belongs to you, my dear."

She leaned forward and placed the locket on your neck as you touched it with your fingers mesmerized by the ruby stone it had. It was similar to what Mother was wearing.

"You look so pretty with this. I can't believe that I have got such a beautiful young lady as my daughter."
She caressed your cheeks as your heart fluttered at the way she was speaking to you in a motherly way, that you have yearned for years.

Your eyes instantly teared up when you thought about your real family, your real mother.

The Mother took you in a warm hug after seeing your tears and rocked your body while caressing your head like a small baby, mumbling soft and sweet words in your ears.

This was making your heart clenched so badly. This small gesture of sweetness from her was making your heart warme

But you mentally shook your head and blocked the feelings of your heart. You have to listen to your brain not your heart who is emotionally weak.

You pulled back from the Mother and wiped your tears before sitting straight.

"Oh dear. Why did you cried?"
She asked as you shook your head and chuckled a little.

"It has been long since I have heard the daughter word."
Mother smiled and wiped your remaining tears before speaking in a cheerful voice.

"Why don't we spent more time together after dinner, hm?"

You hesitantly nodded your head as she suddenly gave a gentle kiss on your forehead before leaving you alone in the room.

***

You hummed with a tight smile as Mother was showing you the family album of the seventh and eight generation.

It has already been three hours since you had dinner with her and currently you two are sitting on the couch in the living room.

You carefully glanced at the clock and noticed it was almost going to be midnight making you worry.
You were losing time.

"And this is Park Gihyun, Jimin's grandfather who was the eldest among everyone."

You quickly nodded your head as she faced you while talking about Jimin's grandfather with a smile on her face.

When she looked back at the album, you eyed the huge white door having three locks on it. You remember Yuna telling you that this is the only gate through which you can exit the mansion and it can only be opened by two ways. One by the key and other by putting password.

The second option don't even add up in your escaping plan. You don't know the password and neither Yuna and if you had asked the password from Mother or any of those boys, they would suspect you.

So, this leaves you with the first option. But the problems was, the only person who has keys to the three freaking locks is the Mother.

And right now she has the bunch of keys in her pouch which is kept beside her. She locked the door right in front of you before having dinner and said that since the men of the house are gone, this is for safety precautions.

"Mother! It's time for your medicine!"
Yuna called her from the stairs making your ears perked at her words.

"Ah, I totally forgot about them. Dear, hold this for me while I take my medication and quickly come back."

She patted your shoulder with a smile and handed you the family album before getting up from the couch, making her way towards the stairs.

When she was out of your sight, you quickly looked at the pouch laying on the couch that Mother left.

This is your time.
With a deep breathe, you pulled out the bunch of keys from the pouch and carefully stood up placing the album above the pouch before tiptoeing towards the gate.

You fumbled with the keys trying to find the right one because you couldn't catch which key she used to lock the door before.

The only golden key came into your view as you trusted your gut and quickly inserted it inside the first lock and turned it around.

-Click!

It fucking unlocked.

Your breath started getting heavier when you inserted the silver key beside the golden one.

-Click!

It again unlocked.

Your heart was literally racing when you glanced at the last lock. Again trusting your gut, this time you inserted another silver key on other side of the golden one.

'Please! Please! Open up! Open up!'
You closed your eyes shut and prayed to God while turning around the key.

-Click!

Your eyes snapped opened in shock after the last lock unlocked. You stumbled back dropping the keys on cold floor.

This is it.
Your gates of freedom has opened.
It's now or never.

"Y/n?"

Your heart skipped a beat after hearing Mother's voice and you didn't dared to look behind as you quickly pushed opened the huge doors from the handle after putting so much strength.

"No Y/n! Stop!"

You heard running footsteps approaching you from behind but before Mother could reach, you were already sprinting out of the mansion directly running into the forest.

You already knew which side you have to go. Thanks to your brain who still have the memory of the forest area that you looked through the window. Yesterday night, you noticed few light sources running down between the trees and you guessed there might be a highway road and cars must be passing from there.

You ran through the wild bushes and large scary trees in complete darkness with only moon as a source of light. You turned to your right according to what your brain captured and continued running nonstop.

A small glimpse of light came into your view making your heart jump up in happiness.
You were now free.
You have escaped from those monsters.

Speeding up more even though you have completed worned out, your foot finally stepped on the concrete road as you abruptly stopped and started huffing out loudly.

You rested hand above your knees while breathing heavily and gazed at the empty wide road having light poles at every small distance.

A wide smile appeared on your face as you calmed your heart; thumping so loudly against the ribcage after running so fast because your life literally depended on it.

You coughed out a little because of your dried throat and slowly walked down on the road covering yourself by arms to protect you from the cold breeze.

Now that you are out and probably too far away from that mansion, you now have to just keep walking on this road till you see a vehicle and get help from the person.

Your heart warmed imagining yourself back in your little apartment where you would be meeting Yoongi who would have been cursing you out for being so late and Lia entering your living area and hugging the life out of you, happy to see you back alive.

But, you can only imagine them.
In reality, when you will reach your apartment you will find it empty.

Filled with nothing but a painful silence.

You halted on your steps after hearing a vehicle from far away raising your hopes high in the sky. You again started running towards the vehicle till you could finally see the headlights of a car driving to your way only.

You quickly started jumping up and down lifting your arms to stop the person as you stood in the middle of the road.

When the black car finally stopped, you rushed towards the passenger side and started knocking on the closed window trying to look inside the car but you couldn't. It was a one way window.

"Hello! Sir, ma'am." You again knocked and removed your hand when the window lowered down as you quickly spoke.

"Please, I really need your help. Can you drop-"

Oh no.

It was Jungkook.

And he was glaring at you murderously.

You eyes popped out in pure horror as
your heart has already dropped dead on the floor.

You quickly moved away and turned around to run opposite to his car.
But you gasped when one more black car stopped behind Jungkook's car followed by the familiar black SUV car.

They are here.
There all are freaking here.

Without thinking twice, you sprinted back inside the forest after seeing Jimin and Taehyung getting off the car.

You were so damn scared.
Your heart was slamming hard against the ribcage in fear while hearing fast running steps right behind you. But, you didn't dared to look back and kept running with all your strength.

You were afraid of getting caught by them and more terrified of what they will do if they caught you. They will literally kill you this time.

Tears were already pouring out from your eyes in terror. You don't want to end up with them again. You don't want to get involved in their fucked up shit.

"Fucking stop!"
A loud growl echoed in your ears before you were suddenly grabbed by hair and was violently yanked back causing you to scream in pain and fell down on the ground.

Your whole body started shaking in fear after seeing the devil right above you, glaring you so angrily. He was literally looking like a hungry beast whose ready to rip your whole body into peices any second.

"Let me go!" You yelled at Jungkook when he grabbed your arm and pulled you up on your foot.

You raised your leg to kick him on his groin but he abrubtly caught your leg and quickly turned you around before slamming your body against the tree by your face as he folded your left arm back.

You tried to push yourself from the tree by other free hand but Jungkook again slammed your body on the tree making you cry out in pain.

"Stop fucking moving."

He muttered while putting pressure on your injured body and forecfully pulling your folded arm back making you scream in ugly pain. It was hurting so badly.

"Please! Let me go, Jungkook! I am not the chosen one. This is all bullshit!"

You shouted at him while crying more trying to make the man understand who wasn't giving a single fuck to whatever words you were saying.

"I swear Y/n, I will not think twice before killing you right here. So, just shut the fuck up."

He warned and started dragging you to the road by your hair but you still tried to fight the powerful man only to waste your little bit of energy you had left.

Your blurry eyes saw Taehyung and Jimin waiting at the middle of road staring your struggling figure with their men standing with guns pointed at you.

Jungkook kept dragging you towards the SUV and forcefully pinned you on the car to handcuff your hands that were vigorously hitting his chest.

"Let me go please!"
You again screamed at his face, pulling your hand from his strong and painful hold but he glared at you and tightened his grip more on your wrist which has already reddened.

"You all are fucking crazy to believe this tradition shit! You all are psychopaths! Your whole fucking family is-"

SLAP!!

Your loud mouth was shut off by a hard smack right across your face making your brain go numb for few seconds as your ears started ringing in beep.

A red handprint quickly engraved on your cheeks and blood started to ooze out from the corner of your lips.

"One more word. One more fucking word about my family, I will bury you alive in the grave." Jungkook leaned near your face and pointed his finger, gritting his teeth tightly.

More tears streamed down your messed up face as you just closed your eyes trembling in his hold. He then roughly shoved you inside the SUV after handcuffing your hands and closed the door shut.
Soon one man sat on the driver seat and other beside you before starting the car.

You slowly leaned your head on the window and cried silently at the pain in your whole body which was still shivering in fear at the thought of what more is going to happen to you.
