Chapter 9
(Recommended song for chapter: Let Me Down Slowly - Alec Benjamin, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
He doesn't know where he's going, let alone what to believe anymore at this point. Years upon years he was taught to be good and protect human beings without a hesitation. Now, he was going to revolt against them because they don't refuse or have the heart to find peace with everyone. Since when does angels give up on humans? It doesn't make any sense.
With an empty heart, Jungkook walks around the urban streets, alone and constantly unable to stop thinking. He was around the 3 mile radius so he wasn't so far from the motel where they are all staying, just needed a moment away to gather his breath or get his head straight. Jungkook wishes life was just as easy as before when angels wasn't a problem to the humans, but it's not that easy now. Now his kind is a threat. Is the mortal life really that gone?
Jungkook didn't realize in the midst of being deep in his thoughts that he bumped into someone, and right when he was about to apologize, he was viciously pinned against the wall by the kneck. His airways were instantly cut off and he stares right into the dark eyes of a mortal with his other friends.
"Looks like we have an X," The man snickers, "Not just any X, we have an angel."
Jungkook knows his eyes are glowing right now with his hair changing to a different color, trying to give the man peaceful thoughts or better alternatives to this issue but the mortal reacted by slamming a punch across the angel's face. Jungkook didn't expect that, nether the less for a mortal to hit an angel with so much anger even after using his abilities.
It's almost impossible to resist an angels abilities when they use it towards you. How is this possible?
"You're not getting into my head you X!" He snarls and slams another punch upon the younger man's nose and his friends eventually joined in, holding Jungkook up by the arms as the other man continues to throw punches and kicks at him. No matter how many times he tried to speak, to beg them to stop, they wouldn't stop. What did he do to deserve this? To deserve this beating? Just because he's an angel? That doesn't make any sense. They're suppose to respect us!
The other man kicks Jungkook against the closed store metal blinds and slams his face against his knee, landing another punch to his stomach.
After long, torturing minutes of being physically abused, the men finally left; laughing to their job while Jungkook remains on the ground, unable to move and completely broken.
He knows he will eventually heal but as for now Jungkook feels the pain from inside his chest. The pain of the cold hard reality. He cries. Cries silently to himself from the ground to realize everyone was right. Mortals have become cruel on their own accord and they don't care who you are, they believe they are above all else.
THe angels faith began to falter, feeling his soul tug at the thought of how the mortals have betrayed everyone. Even their own kind. So..... Evil.
They're monsters
Jungkook slowly rises to his feet, limping himself away from the scene and back to the motel he's staying in. He could feel his broken nose heal with the more steps he takes. His dislocated arm goes back to it's place as any cuts and bruises heal slowly. The moment he arrives to the motel, his physical form is entirely healed as if nothing happened, and he opens the door to step inside only to see Yoongi's wolf form sleeping on the rugged ground and Namjoon practicing magic spells on the bed with legs crossed. He could feel all their gazes suddenly snap to him the moment he closes the door behind him. Jungkook could barely breathe, his head is swimming and it won't stop to how betrayed he feels. His legs couldn't hold him up anymore, collapsing to the ground and he sobs out loudly. That stupid feeling of pain in his chest won't go away.
They're so cruel, why are they so cruel!?
"Jungkook! What happened?" Namjoon asks in frantic as he hurries to at the broken down angel but Jungkook only rises back to his feet and tangles himself in the his leaders arms, crying hard on his chest, his entire body shake furiously.
Jungkook feels something tug his leg and he pulls back from Namjoon to see Yoongi's wolf form staring up at him, a small whine coming out his throat as he paws his leg, trying to get his attention. Jungkook gasps a smile and drops to his knees, wrapping his arms around the wolf's neck as he runs his finger through the soft fur. The comfort feels nice, and slowly Jungkook feels himself slowly calming down. He pulls away from the wolf and sends Yoongi a weak smile before rising back to his feet, Namjoon staring at him attentively.
"I was attacked by mortals," Jungkook begins to tell, feeling a lump on his throat, "They.... They were so brutal... They knew I was an angel and yet they still took pleasure in beating me," Jungkook could barely even breath as he recalls the brutal moments he just had to go through.
Namjoon only stares at him, clearly unsure on what to say but Jungkook knows he feels bad that the angel had to face reality in the most brutalist way possible. Jungkook only wished that he has realized sooner what this world has come to. Of course there's good people out there but majority are corrupted into thinking they're as powerful as an immortal, let alone lose faith for peace.
No, they need to learn that they need to be all equal and have rights too.
Soon Namjoon's plan began to appear lighter through Jungkook's eyes, especially after this event.
The front door opens and in enters Jin, Taehyung and Jimin, laughing loudly, but soon their laughter drowns once they notice the vibe in the room. Jungkook makes eye contact with Taehyung and he can tell that the fallen angel could see the physical pain he was in with his eyes. Taehyung's jaw clenches and he turns to Namjoon, "Did virgin mary finally learned the messed up ways of the world?" Despite his words being playful, his tone is dark, murderously low.
Jimin rushes towards Jungkook and examines his face, "Are you hurt? What happened to you?"
Seokjin's head tilts slightly with widen eyes, "I smell blood," He mutters and Jungkook's gaze drops to his plain white t-shirt that's all dirty but also had spots of blood from his own body. Suddenly from the bathroom Hoseok barges out, wearing his pajamas and ruffling his blonde hair before taking in the scene in front of him, "What did I miss?"
Taehyung glares at Namjoon, "Don't try to stop me," And with that the fallen angel walks out the front door with Jimin and Yoongi, in human form, behind him.
Jungkook's eyes widen and he turns to Namjoon, "What is he talking about Namjoon? Where is he going?!"
Namjoon didn't say anything, only approaches the front door and locks it shut before turning to the horrified young angel.
________
Taehyung is angry. Far from angry. He's furious as hell. He doubts even hell has this burning anger as he feels inside his chest. He wants to break everything in sight. Destroy it to ashes.
He wants to find them.
"It was here," He mutters to the spot his visions took him where Jungkook was ambushed. He doesn't know why he has this need of protectiveness over the angel but all he knows is that he is angry, very angry.
Yoongi goes to the blood marks on the floor and smells it with a nod, "Jungkook's blood alright, where could those bastards have wandered off too," He mutters and began to sniff the air around but then freezes in his spot. Suddenly he transforms into wolf form and runs away. Without thinking twice Taehyung and Jimin run after him, all the way leading to an abandon building. Yoongi transforms back into human with golden eyes, "It's here.... They're he-"
Taehyung didn't let the short man finish as he storms in through the front door, seeing three men seated in what appears to be a living room. The minute those those men took in Taehyung's state, they all grew pale and shuffle to their feet.
"Let's have some fun."

Jungkook screams loudly from the bed, clawing his skin with his glowing eyes wide and illuminous. Namjoon watches in pity to the young man thrash against the tiny bed while Jin fought to keep him still.
This all happened out of no where. One minute they were all sitting, waiting for the three to the return, and then Jungkook began to groan in which lead to screams and thrashing around the room. No one knows why he's like this, he just..... Snapped.
With a shaking hand, Namjoon rises a hand and gasp to the imagines flying to his head. So Jungkook isn't having a mental break down.... No... What appears in his head are visions, of Taehyung and Jimin viciously torturing the humans that hurt Jungkook, and the angel can feel and see everything.
As if it was him the one they were torturing.
Jungkook's back arched with his hands twitching and eyes rolled back, "I need to save them, they're going to die!" The angel whimpers and sits up but Jin tackles him back to the bed to keep him still as the angel thrashes.
"Let me go!" He bellows loudly following with a a painful scream to a sudden strike on the head Taehyung hit to the other man. Jungkook cries out in pain as Jimin bites down to another guys arm and rips the skin off. Namjoon is horrified to what he is seeing in his head as he connects it with Jungkook, feeling more of an ache in his chest that Jungkook had to go through something as horrible as this. He didn't expect it. He expected them to teach those guys a lesson but not torture them like this.
This is hurting Jungkook more than the hits they did to him.
"Please, please, please let me go Namjoon.... PLEASE!" Jungkook screams desperately but all Namjoon could do is stare at him as Jin keeps him strained to the bed, tears beaming his eyes from hearing Jungkook's desperate cries.
Until it all stopped.
The shouts and cries.
It all stopped.
That's when Namjoon's heart stopped to the meaning behind it...
They're dead.
A whimper escapes Jungkook's lips as he lays limply on the bed. Jin slowly peels himself off Jungkook and watches him with cautiouslessly as the young man breathes heavily on the bed, eyes staring at the ceiling with tears beaming his eyes.
The angel broke.
And there's nothing they could do to bring the pieces together.
