The Kill
It is a little known fact that every human has seven devils following them, each waiting for a chance to take that humans life in exchange for their soul to be put to rest. Even before the child is born it’s devils can alter fate to bring about death, but if they fail then the human gets a duration of life where nothing can harm them. The first attempt will given you seven years, the next will give seven months, then seven weeks, seven days, seven hours, seven seconds. But once those seconds are gone the humans heart will simply stop.
After seven hundred years of wondering the earth a devil gains the ability to use its powers in it’s physical form.
When you awoke the next day you couldn’t remember much at all, a side effect of the drug. Your surroundings were unfamiliar and the migraine headache pounding in your skull made you feel terrible.
“Hello?” Your voice echoed in the empty room, and soon your dry throat and desperate need for water pulled you off the bed and out the door.
Jungkook and Taehyung seemed to not even notice you walk into the lounge room, too busy staring at the television and smashing the buttons of their video game controllers. And if you had your senses you may have tried to to stay hidden, tried to make it out of the apartment and run for your life but instead you stumbled straight out.
“Hey, you guys have some water?”
Your voice was weak and croaky but they paused the game, giving each other a confused look before turning to you.
“Yeah, sure, the fridge is just over there”
You followed his finger to where he was pointing.
“Cool, thanks.. umm sorry I can’t remember your names”
“Oh uhh, I’m Taehyung and that’s Jungkook”
You pulled a bottle from the fridge and went to sit with them on the couches, all the while they kept the same look of bewilderment.
“Wow I must have been trashed last night, I can’t remember anything”
It took them a second to realize what you meant and Jungkook had to hold back his laughter once he pieced it together. Taehyung on the other hand was trying to figure out how to explain what had really happened last night but you interrupted his thoughts before he could form a sentence.
“Whoa I love this game, do you have another controller?”
“Here, take mine. It’s no fun beating Tae all the time anyways”
Jungkook nudged Taehyung out of his stunned state and looked at him expectantly, eyeing the controller in his hands, he fumbled for a moment before unpausing the game.
You spent the next few hours hanging out with them, playing and laughing everytime either you or Jungkook beat Tae again but soon you were feeling sober enough and decided it was time to leave.
“Well guys it’s been fun but I should get going now”
Tae released an exasperated sigh, having been enjoying himself and not looking forward to this moment at all. The atmosphere in the room completely changed, becoming thick with hostility.
“I’m afraid that actually you wont be leaving” The smile on Jungkook’s face betrayed the seriousness of his words.
“Very funny, we should hang out again sometime” You laughed uncomfortably as you quickly got to your feet and all but ran to the door, twisting and tugging the handle but it would not unlock.
“What the fuc-”
Jungkook approached you and grabbed a fist full of your hair when you tried to run from him, bringing his other hand to press against you temple. At his touch you remembered the events of last night, you remembered Hoseok and his betrayal, you remembered your guardians and the past seven months.
“We are going to hang out… for six more days, and then Taehyungie is going to kill you”
You spent the rest of the day in the room you had awoken in, refusing to come out despite Taehyung’s requests.
“Seokjin, Jimin, Yoongi. Seokjin, Jimin, Yoongi” You repeated this mantra until eventually falling unconscious.
You spent the next day in tears, why hadn’t they come to save you yet? Why had Hoseok done that to you? Why had these two boy kidnapped you? Why did they want to murder you.
On the third day you got the answer to these questions. You knew you had to come out of the room eventually, you were starving and you needed to find a way to escape. When you walked out Tae was waiting for you, back pressed against the wall as he sat in the hallway.
“Hey” His voice was soft and timid.
You ignored him, instead walking straight to the kitchen to find something to eat, Jungkook was in the lounge room and soon they both joined you.
“Tell me everything” You managed to mumble out through the mouthful of chips you were devouring.
They had no hesitations in telling you the truth, your guardians couldn’t find you because Jungkook had cloaked the apartment, Hoseok had tried to kill you because he was a devil, kidnapping you was the best way to ensure they would be able to kill you once the seven days had passed and Taehyung didn’t want to kill you but he needed to so that his soul could be at peace.
“But why are you helping him?”
“Oh, I just like to watch”
The fourth, fifth and sixth days you tried to get closer to Tae all the while looking for possible exit points, the only one you could find was the balcony but with a four story drop it was as useless as the front door.
All too soon the seventh day had arrived, the three of you waited for nightfall and then it was time.
“You have to do it Tae, all of it. Just like we planned”
He nodded to his partner, grabbing you by the arm and leading you to the balcony.
“Please Tae you don’t have to do this, just let me go” You tried begging but Taehyung’s face had turned to stone.
“I’m sorry”
Before you could even scream he picked you up by your neck, windpipe crushing and feet dangling in the air as he lifted you over the railing. Over his shoulder Jungkook stood with a sadistic smile.
And then he let go, you dropped but your arms flailed out grabbing perchance on the cold metal poles.
“Help! Please help me!”
In a second he was grabbing at your hands, tears welling in his eyes.
“Shit, fuck. I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry”
For a moment you felt relief, until you realized he was prying your fingers free, one hand then the next and you plunged to your death but not before hitting the second story awning.
Your whole body was in pain but you had to run, adrenalin pumped you into action and you raced toward the busy street only stopping when you reached the kerb to wave your hands at oncoming traffic.
Rage pulsed through Jungkook’s veins as he watched from the balcony, in an instant he was behind you and with an effortless shove he pushed you in front of an oncoming car.
