29.
Jimin's POV
(Mentions of Blood etc, if any of this makes you uncomfortable you are welcome to skip to next chapter or skip over some lines/paragraphs)
~ Flashback ~
I followed Jin inside the ship, my heart was pounding in my chest as we ran down to the rowing room where we decided we'd be safest.
The others came down to the rowing room, grabbing chest plates and Jin put one on too.
Sadly there weren't any more so I went without one considering I wasn't taking part in battle, so it didn't overly matter.
I chose not to take part in the battle because I know I am not physically very strong, I am not a brutal person and I want to make sure that I live to see my wife again.
I also do not want to get my hands or clothes dirty. It is not my style to do so.
I could hear the Captain yelling from the deck as I sat down on a bench.
I shrieked as I fell off the bench, the water from cannons being fired making the boat tip.
Moments after the ship's level was fixed.
I stood up, gaining balance again as I looked at Jin who'd slumped against the back wall of the rowing room.
"Are you alright, your highness?" I asked him.
However I watched as his face paled.
"Jimin, behind you!"
I spun around, my eyes widening as a pirate from the other ship, climbed through a hole in the enemy ship where the cannons were, and through the hole for cannons in the rowing room.
I yelped, backing away from the male that was wandering towards me.
His hand held a clean silver knife with a black handle.
"Captain! Taehyung!" I shouted, but no one came.
We were left alone, unsupervised and now the ones who didn't want to fight, have to fight.
I grabbed a metal heavy shield that hung on the side of the rowing room wall and used that to deflect the knife that the other male yielded towards me.
"Jin, I could use some help!" I whined as I shoved the pirate backwards with the shield.
I looked over my shoulder and cried, mortified to see Jin had fainted on the floor, leaving me alone to defend both of us.
And I am not even the one wearing the chest plate.
The pirate smirked, coming at me again.
I can't die.
I don't want to die.
I took a deep breath and dodged underneath the knife that swung originally at my head height, copying movements that I saw the Captain and Taehyung master earlier while fencing.
My arm quickly jumped up to grab the other male's arm, twisting it to make him drop the knife.
He yelped before banging his head against mine, making me fall backwards to the ground.
My eyesight was dizzy as it slowly focused on the male pirate again.
My heart was racing seeing the male pirate climb on top of me with the knife in his hand again.
My hands grabbed at his arms, trying to deflect the blade from my chest and face.
But his hands directed the blade towards my chest now, my heart already ached like it was being stabbed when it hadn't even been stabbed yet.
I am weak, I can see the strong muscles of the pirate through his thin material white blouse.
My hands pushed upwards with as much force as I could, the pirate above me trying with all his might to sink the blade through my heart.
My eyes pricked with tears, feeling the tip of the blade scratching my skin and cutting a small hole in my blouse.
How dare he cut my clothing!
Images of my wife, crying on our doorstep to the news of my death flashed before my eyes.
Then Taehyung's reaction to both me and his brother who lay already on the floor, unaware of the world around him.
I cannot let them down, I just can't.
I need to be stronger.
I then used my strength with one hand to stop the male from stabbing me as I stuck my fingers quickly in the male's eyes making him cry out in pain.
This gave me enough time to grab the knife from the pirate's hand.
I hesitated for a split second before continuing with the action as I slit a cut across his throat.
I dropped the knife to the side, laying down on my back as the pirate lay lifeless on top of me, his blood soaking my perfect green blouse.
I then shoved the heavy body off me a couple minutes after while processing what just happened.
Did I just mercilessly slaughter a person?
Why did I have too?
Why little, weak me with such small fingers and a small petite body frame?
How dare I stay here, putting up with this bullshit for this long to almost have my life taken away from me because I am on a lousy pirate ship.
Tears cascaded down my cheeks like waterfalls as I made my way over to Jin.
Not only did I kill someone, but I'd never ever seen that much blood squirt out of a body.
It was disgusting.
I cannot look at anything red too soon or I may puke.
I never knew blood could have so many shades.
I shook Jin, but he lay there still as anything.
I whined as I decided to drag Jin's body up to our bedroom because we'd just worked out that the rowing room wasn't the safest place for us to be.
Then I laid Jin down on his bed.
I huffed, resting my bum on my bed for a moment or two until I picked up my body to head to the deck where I saw Taehyung look at me with hazel shining eyes.
Concern flashing across his face as he wandered over to me.
~ End of Flashback ~
"So that's what happened." I muttered after telling Taehyung everything.
"Taehyung, can I speak with you?"
I sighed seeing the Captain to the side of Taehyung and I.
I wanted to just punch him across the face but I know I'd never hear the end of it from Taehyung if I did.
However I was surprised by Taehyung's answer.
"Not now sorry, I am speaking to Jimin." Taehyung replied.
I saw the Captain roll his eyes before walking away.
Inside the cabin on the deck, I heard the captain's door slam shut before Taehyung spoke.
"That must have been terrifying. I mean I fought a couple people but I wore a chest plate and the Captain was the one who killed the people I fought with." Taehyung told me.
"Yeah, I honestly thought it was the end of my life. I saw my life flash before my eyes." I muttered.
"We should check up on Jin. He may have had a rough fall to the floor when he passed out." I told Taehyung.
He nodded, a look of worry flashing upon his face.
Taehyung likely has better medical knowledge than me so I am sure he'd know what to do in this situation more than myself.
"I'm going to grab Jin a drink of water, you try to get him to wake up." Taehyung directed me.
I nodded, heading down the stairs back to where Jin was.
Of course I presumed Taehyung was going to go see the captain first but to my surprise, moments after shaking Jin, Taehyung appeared beside me.
Taehyung is a lovely younger brother to Jin, even if Jin can seem very dramatic and demanding.
Taehyung cares for Jin so much and it's so evident through even his eyes.
I could see them shining as his glossy wet eyes peered over his brother.
His hand lightly tapped Jin's face.
After a moment or two, Jin's body awoke and he tried to sit up.
Taehyung however pushed Jin down.
"Stay lying down for a moment, you fainted so take a second to get your bearings before you get up." Taehyung told his brother softly.
Jin obeyed, taking deep breaths.
"Jimin, are you okay? What happened?" Jin asked, remembering back to us being in the rowing room.
"I killed a pirate Jin. I'm a murderer." I whined.
Taehyung, who was beside me, pulled me into his arms to embrace me.
"You aren't a killer Jimin-ah. You are a guardian. You protected my brother and I will forever be so thankful that you and my brother are okay. Your actions saved you both from harm and I will forever be in your debit for what you went through." Taehyung's calm husky tone floated through my ears.
I softly smiled while placing my head against Taehyung's chest.
It's funny how long I have known Taehyung and how long we have been close friends but yet I am only ever experiencing a hug and such physical contact from him now.
My body still felt startled but I was grateful to have Taehyung with me at this moment.
If he wasn't here, I'd surely have gone insane.
"Taehyung, remember the captain wanted to speak with you."
Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Ya guess it right? I feel like I wrote this battle scene way better than Jungkooks battle scene. May be because Jimin just had one enemy to fight though. Why do you think Jungkook wants to speak to Taehyung? What about? Feel free to comment your guesses.

That's all for now... Enjoy!!! Stay safe, healthy and warm my lovely readers... Byeeee :)
