Aria's P.o.v

"What? What happened?" Eugene entreated angrily marching towards us. He looks perturbed to death, not only him, I am uncertain too, why the hell did she even blench? Did she by chance got hurt by something in that mother fracking water? "Nothing...nothing at all" she replied in a small panicky voice. "Are you sure? Are you hurt?" Jungkook barged in, he was concerned about her.

"Yeah, it's just too cold" she asserted rubbing her shoulders while I stayed quiet since I can see that she didn't want them to know about whatever she is hiding. After asking the same question, again and again, Eugene and Jungkook left and started walking in front of us.

"What is it Aerin? Are you hurt?" I whispered, making sure no one heard it. "No, it's dreadfully paining in my back" she whispered back irritably. "Let me check," I told and waited for her reply. She thought for a second and "okay" I quickly went behind her, taking the two layers of Jacket aside and moving her t-shirt up, I gasped loudly when I saw a huge bruise, forming in her lower back.

"Aria" she gawped slapping her face when everybody heard me. "I am going to kill you girls, just tell me what happened" Eugene demanded impatiently. I was still standing behind her, we both looking at him, thinking if we should tell him.

"I can't worry him more than this" Aerin said quietly and asked me to let him see. Everyone did and they didn't know what to do. They looked worried and shit this is why she didn't want anyone to know. "I am alright" she confirmed to them but they kept ignoring her words.

"When I grabbed Aria, your hand slipped from hers and that's when you hit your back on that hard rock...I am sorry Aerin" Taehyung faltered feeling rue. Wait, what is he regretting? Saving me first? "Are you hurt too? Tell me" Taehyung questions facing me, didn't he regret saving me, now why the heck is he asking me that?

"Aria?" Taehyung called and pulled me out of my thoughts. "No" I snapped without looking at him. He flinched slightly before muttering something. I wish I heard that, what if he was cursing at me? I'll chop him and feed the crocodiles if he did.

"Can we just continue moving?" Aerin whined as she didn't want them to worry. "It's just bruised, nothing else, I am good" she continued. When nobody opened their mouth, she started jumping and spinning. "See...I I am fine" she panted cheerfully. "Alright, alright" Eugene sighed.

Jungkook's P.o.v

I keep checking my phone for network, it's the witching hour and we are in the middle of a fucking forest. We have been walking inside this hell hole from the afternoon, we are sure that we are stuck here, but why can't we just meet at the end.

Every time we try to split up, we either end up getting scared or the howling of the wolves continues. Taehyung and I are now sneezing non-stop, the cold weather is doing no good to us either.

"Why can't you just take Eugene's jacket" Aerin complained hitting the back of my head. "The heck woman, I am trying to be a man here" I groaned, controlling my tickled nose which is causing me to sneeze non stop. "Bitch, you are already a man" she sneered eyeing my crotch.

"Yah! I am not in a state where you can check me out." I hissed, hiding my valuable part. "I'll show you myself when we get back!" I added when she kept snickering. "Ew?" She groaned walking away from me with a disgusted face. "Should we take a break?" Jin asked when he was tired from walking. Our legs do hurt.

"Ye-" Aerin was cut off by a gunshot, which was loud af. "What the...heck was that" Aria faltered. "It's a gunshot" Eugene replied looking up at the sky, birds flying aggressively by the sound of it. "Should we go and check out?" Taehyung asked him.

"No wait, that's dangerous" Aerin stated in disbelief. "What if it's a serial killer? What if it locks us up in the basement?" She asks, leaving us thinking about it again. "There's no such thing Aerin" Namjoon laughed. "Then who the hell do you think it is? An animal hunter? Late-night?" She barked in annoyance.

She is right though, it can't be some animal hunter, why'd they hunt in dark and I also don't think that it's some serial killer. "Let's go and find out," Taehyung and Aria said in unison. "Let's go and check it out, from afar" Taehyung replied before looking at Aria.

Before we could take a step, we heard another gunshot, "They must be somewhere near us" I whispered before heading towards the direction where the gun was shot. We stalked faster than before and within minutes we found a camp, some distance away from us.

There is a fire in the centre while the six tents surrounded it and there were men, who were huge like a beast. They were drinking, some laughing, dancing and chatting.

We were hiding behind some trees and bushes, out of nowhere there was another gunshot making us all bounce from the sudden noise, we directed our gaze to where it was coming from. They were shooting people, three on the ground and the other three still kneeling with their faces covered with a monkey cap. Aria nearly gasped and looked at Aerin.

"They can't be serial killers right?" She questioned her. "They don't look like an animal hunter" Aerin whispered nervously. "What are they? Human hunters?" Aria probed.

"Let's go and ask" Eugene alleged abruptly and tried to move, but I pulled him back. "Are you out of your mind ?" I asked gripping on his shirt roughly. "They might help us" he answered. "No they can't, they look like they could eat us alive" Aerin heckled looking at their side.

There was another gunshot, which was so freaking loud, almost like it was coming from right behind us. Everybody froze on their spot when we heard footsteps approaching us and those people in the camp were now looking in our direction. Looks like we are screwed.

"Hey, look what we have here" somebody spoke, behind us. We turned around carefully, not wanting to get on their bad side. The bald man, with a gun, who just spoked was so huge like the others. Within seconds, the other three giants came and stood behind the baldy.

Eugene pulled both Aerin and Aria behind him when that bald moron started to look at them with his tongue out. Dog. The other three morons, stood still, looking at us like they got a huge box of fresh meat.

"How may I help you," Jin asked politely. Is he serious? We are in the middle of a creepy giant gang and this is what he got. "Cut the crap, hey, take them," the bald guy said and the other 3 headed towards us.

"RUN!!"
