The darkness allowed Jungkook to finally be at rest. But hopefully, I would not be the rest of forever. By the time the night started fading away and the sun got out from the thick clouds, it laid its weak light over the boy's face. The tiny flicker made his body pretty visible on the wet ground, the red puddle of blood forming under his stomach being a clear sign of the pain he was in. However, he was not waking up, not from the pain, not from the morning rain which soon started to fall, not from the screams and laugher of a group nearby.
A group... nearby...
In the middle of nowhere...

A girl's voice:

"You cannot catch me now...!"

"Amelie... come back, it is dark here..."

"Hehe...! Ohhh, are you giving up alreadyyyy?~"

Author's POV:

"You can't ca-" a pause followed as the girl's foot bumped into a branch and she fell into the muddy ground. She was disoriented, but she lifted her head and she could clearly see the body of a person, laying between the trees and closer, his shape a bit more distinguishable as the sun started rising. Impulsive as ever, the little girl shouted behind. "Dad! Uncle! There is somebody...!"

"Wait, girl!" The dad said with a ton amount of worry in his tone, running after the agile little girl, following the path she took and marked by stepping and breaking most branches on the ground. He knew she was excited or more like... curious. However, he got closer to her and rushed to the boy who seemed to be struggling to breathe. The first thing he saw and the girl also noticed was the obvious patch of red liquid, spreading across his right side.

"Amelie, go call Tasha... we need to bring him to her." He said as calm as he could, the girl nodding and rushing out of the little space between the trees, leaving only the man with the boy.

"Hey? Can you hear me?" The man said and tried to see if the other would focus his eyes on him, which he did, but not for long. He took the chance to see the scratches on his cheeks and the exhaustion and pain in his eyes. "It will be alright, we got you. Stay with me, please." He added and struggled to keep the boy from closing his eyes by tapping his cheek each time he did so.

His vision was blurry and he could fadedly hear what was happening, yet he was too weak to move or react. What he felt like minutes were actually seconds. That was how fast the woman arrived, along with a first aid kid that he used to keeping the boy conscious. She settled his breath first and tied his left thigh, stopping a medium bleeding. The rest was too serious for her to treat on the spot, ordering and helping to undress the boy from the dirty shirt. Her first concern was for the wound on his side to not get infected, reason why she protected the place all the way to their shelter.

Jungkook's POV:
"Can you hear me?"
I could hear her. Not clearly, but I could. I shook my head and blinked so that the blurriness in front of my eyes would fade away. I looked around, seeing a window on the left side of the bed, the room being not much of a luxurious one. Her clothes were clean though, something I haven't gotten to see in a while. Talking of clothes, the moment I looked down I saw I was only wearing a pair of shorts and a loose shirt, both white and simple.
"Who are you?"
"Martha, and this is Anne."
"Where did you take me? I have to go back."
I was already tugging on the wall to sit up, her hands quickly pushing me down. My strength wasn't enough to protest, but on the table, there was something that looked like a surgical blade. I picked it up and quickly stabbed her wrists, not forgetting to snatch it back and rip the IVs that were stuck into my hand. A sharp pain shot through my body, the sources being my stomach and the left thigh ㅡ the second one being the reason why I cried out and almost fell on the floor. The other woman dropped whatever she was holding in that moment and rushed by her friend's side, immediately pushed away and ordered to put her hands on me.
It was nothing to wait for, so I just ran out the room, slamming the door behind me and supposedly hitting her with it since a loud groan came from that direction. I didn't even look behind and continued to take turns through the hallways, the nighttime giving me the chance to pass through with ease. Nobody was around when I literally pushed the back door open and dashed outside, heading directly for the least lit-up way. It was opening the path towards the forest, God knows what forest..

The shouts coming from the building got louder, then a loud, yet thin sound passed by my ear. I looked down on the ground without stopping and noticed a certain colorful dart, at first not knowing what it was, not even taking the time to think too much.

After all the runing, my strength was wasting and since there was no veil of adrenaline to cover the pain, I started feeling it at its peak. Exhaustion and spikes of pain were sending me to thud down into a random spot, against a few rocks and a tree. My hands felt weak to grab around, so I just put my whole weight on the ground and my back on the tree, leaning on the side to lay my head on the rocks. I didn't even notice when my eyes started closing, nor when I fell asleep....

But when I woke up...

It was still dark. That confused me. The pain was gone, but nothing in my surroundings was changed.

To be continued...
