Recommended song# 'Control' by 'Halsey'

Trigger "Violence, Gore"

One week and Seokjin was already trying his best to earn the She-devil's trust, the more he gets to dig deep into her roots the more easily he can uproot her existence, right?

He needed something solid enough to prove to her that she could trust him blindly and let down her guard so that when the time was right, he could plunge the blade past the demon's neck. Putting a fat bait to catch the demon, he found the she-devil showing up faster than he had thought.

This revenge thingy must be serious for her if she came here within one ring!

In the small cabin, a chilling silence filled the air as everyone's gaze fixated on the dark angel before them. Jungkook, Yoongi, and the new face of Seokjin stood frozen, captivated, and unnerved by her presence. The soft chuckle that escaped her lips sent shivers down their spines, evoking a sense of fear.

A gun swinging playfully over her finger added to the intensity of the moment, time seemed to slow as the dark angel held them under her spell. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, uncertainty, and a hint of intrigue. Each of them felt an inexplicable pull towards her, drawn by the allure of the dark enigma she emitted.

The exposed skin of her neck and arms revealed traces of intimacy, marked with hickeys, and love bites. Yet, she showed no signs of shame or hesitation to have them, she wore them like a crown. No one dared to question their presence on her and they kept their questioning gazes averted to the ground.

"I still don't trust you Seokjin, even after you keep bringing me 'Facts' I still smell betrayal, A strong betrayal" Seokjin no doubt felt scared of her intimidating aura a strong chilling sensation crawling up his body but he stood his ground.

"I-I know. It's not easy but I'll keep proving it to you until you trust me enough" The boy's eyes met the intense gaze of the devil, who looked at him like a lioness eyeing her prey. Jungkook and Yoongi had their doubts about this new acquaintance, Seokjin. His actions and skills made them question his loyalty, especially how effortlessly he retrieved data they couldn't access. The snake tattoo on his neck, similar to Venom's possessions, added to the mystery and confusion surrounding him, leaving them all entangled in a web of doubt and intrigue. Is he one of her possessions? Then, how come he is given an agent treatment?

Why would he sell his soul to the she-devil? Why would he sell his freedom? When he himself is associated with a strong name in the underworld none other than the KNIGHTS.

Why exactly is he here? Where was he before this? Why the sudden appearance?

No matter how hard they tried to find something worth a shot to uncover his true intentions, they didn't. Well, Seokjin isn't an easy target now, is he? Keeping in view how cleverly he made an acquaintance with Venom. It's enough to show he was a smart one.

"Hm~ daring and interesting. Then let's see what you brought me today"

It was not a sunny day at all. The sky was covered in thick clouds leaving it more colorless. The dead leaves crumbled under their feet announcing the arrival of death herself. The mist atop their heads spread across as if welcoming her. Within the clearing, her gaze fell upon the five figures, their vision obscured and hands bound behind their backs. Clad in lavish dress suits, a stark contrast to their current vulnerable state. Her eyes, resembling honey orbs tainted with a shadow of darkness, locked onto the scene before her. She couldn't suppress a scornful snort at their pitiful condition.

No matter how big you are or small, Rich or poor, young or old. Lastly, everyone goes to dirt, the same dirt. It does not hold anyone superior to another. It shows everyone their worth.

What are you? Nothing! Like the speck of dirt. Worthless!

Still, they think of themselves as gods. Those who don't even know if they will breathe the next minute. Those with so many uncertainties. Those weak creatures. They still try to control other's lives. How pathetic and silly! How odd!

"Well, well, well, don't we have some expensive shit here hm~" She traced her finger over the blindfolded person's face who flinched at the contact earning a snort from her.

"Wh-where am I? Wh-who are you? Why am I here? Let me g-go this instance- Mm~" Venom's face contorted into a displeased expression, and without hesitation, she reached out and clamped her fingers tightly over the person's lips, silencing their words. The space fell into an eerie silence as everyone watched her.

"Seriously I hate this repeating part, it's always the same. Where am I? Who are you? Why am I here? Let me go, Bla bla bla~" With a hard eye roll, Venom mimicked the man's mocking expression, sending a shiver down his spine. Her honeyed orbs, tinged with darkness, locked onto him once more, piercing through his soul. Each captive's heart pounded in their chests as thinking what awaited them.

"I would gladly cut this little nasty tongue of yours off but again your ass won't poop answers, so I need it for you to talk, now now, if you don't want to spoil my mood and force me to entertain you then cooperate and trust me, you'll be glad that you helped me" She let go of his lips and got up.

"Why the f-fuck am I here? Who the bitch is you? Do you even have the slightest idea of who I am?" He yelled his voice going higher as more words slipped off his tongue. Turning around Venom signaled Jungkook to loosen their blindfolds.

The doe-eyed boy nodded and yanked away the blindfold from the eyes of the man in front leaving him to squint his eyes to the sudden surge of light.

"The devil's eye heir!?"

"Señor Correcto"

"Wh- how-" The person lost his words as he gazed around to see more of his men at his back, all blindfolded and restrained in ropes.

"How what?"

It was no use asking why they were brought here it was all in front of him, he must have something to do with the devil's eye and oh lord yes he knew what it was.

He promised to not let my name ever be exposed, then how come she is up to my neck? He promised me and backstabbed me!? Hongjyun failed to keep his promise.

"Instead of this useless babbling you should be asking, what do I want from you?"

"And how are you so sure, I am the right one to give you what you want?"

"Your face confirms it well, Code Seoyeon, sounds familiar, eh?" Venom saw an obvious change of color on his face like a wave of paleness washed over it but he composed himself quickly looking around except for the devil herself who continued watching her arrow hit right on the jackpot.

The pregnant woman named Seoyeon was killed...

Date of death 13/12/04 time 06: 27 p.m.

killed by multiple men, violence, abuse, raped multiple times after death

the lady held a strong financial background and links to multiple resources in the ..."

Venom pointed her finger towards the ground.

"Underworld..."

The more she spoke the more the person furrowed his brows. A slight gulp grazing his throat.

"She had two kids. One died in her belly and the other well~" Venom looked up to the person. "Don't I look familiar to you uncle?" A smile kissed her smooth lips.

There was pin-drop silence. The rustling of dead leaves and the chilling breeze cutting through the warmth around their bodies heightened. The man forth peered to her with eyes wide like saucers while his face went paler than before, his breath seemed hitched as his old face with wrinkles grazing it gracefully didn't help him look less shocked.

"Y-you!?"

His valor his bravery his firmness everything fell to the ground shattering to nothingness. Jungkook and Yoongi both recalled the dreadful nights from their past when they witnessed a little girl tormented by terrifying nightmares, waking up in a state of hysteria. They could feel her pain and understood why she had embraced the darkness so completely. While others might perceive her as heartless, they knew that deep down, the innocent child she once was remained trapped, trembling in fear with tear-filled eyes. Her once beautiful eyes now seemed pale and concealed within the engulfing darkness. The recurring nightmares of her mother's agonizing screams haunted her, offering no solace to her tortured soul. Though she had always portrayed herself as heartless, Yoongi held onto the belief that the girl he had known in his childhood still existed somewhere deep within her. He believed she had not completely disappeared. Yet, when confronted with her behavior and the torment she endured, he couldn't help but doubt his own thoughts.

"YOU!?"

She chuckled louder and louder, which grew increasingly more chilling. Her laughter echoed through the eerie, lifeless forest, sending shivers down the spines of all those present. Jungkook anxiously bit his lip, observing the disturbing, contorted demon within her, as her chuckles seemed on the verge of bursting out at any moment, like a sinister entity about to emerge from its host.

"Oh, yes uncle me, never thought I would have an uncle too but look at you" A click of her tongue reverberated through the space. "You had to be born hm~"

"I-I, How could this be? N-no you can't be! I... I fucking killed you with my own hands how could you~" The man's breaths had become labored and uneven, resonating heavily within his aging lungs as he struggled to catch his breath. "I KILLED YOU THAT NIGHT. I-I DID IT MYSELF H-HOW CAN YOU... I DROWNED YOU MYSELF, YOU WERE J-JUST A KID, H-HOW COULD YOU BE ALIVE"

Seeing the dead in front of him all good and alive, the old man was overwhelmed by panic and shock. In his distress, he let out a loud yell, blurting out the bitter truths that left even Seokjin astounded. He had never anticipated such a disclosure of hidden truths.

"Well, you see I was too much for hell even" She spoke waving her hand in the air. "So I was sent back to create a hell of my own"

"Y-you aren't supposed to be-" The man stammered.

"Alive? I know uncle" She simply squeezed her shoulders in a shrug. "But seems like you were supposed to meet me you know that fate shit, So yeah"

"I should have shot you in your fucking brains you bitch" The said made her giggle and she nodded. "You killed Anchor, didn't you?" He questioned eyes glistening to the scene he saw at the Jackie's garage when he was informed of his sudden murder. Venom giggled with another nod of her head.

"And Jisung my son?" Tears trickled down his eyes grazing his wrinkled skin in the way.

"Oh that spy brat, Sapphire's boyfriend yeah I did"

"S-sapphire!? Felix!? Did you kill him too? Where is he!? You bitch-" The man mumbled his existence shaking now as he bit back sobs. "You!! you ruined me" She tittered with another nod of the head.

"Yes, I did, and guess what? I fucking loved it" Her tongue ran across her lips stretched with a grin remembering all the bloodsheds she caused.

The man let out a pained and frustrated scream groaning along he tried to reach forth to her but his hands tied made him just fall on his face while the girl watched his failing attempts with a bored expression crowned on her face.

"I will fucking kill you, you bitch argh~ you were never supposed to be alive" He let out a piercing scream, his spittle flying into the air as his face was brushed by the soil. The expensive dress suit he was wearing scraped against the ground, causing it to lose its elegance and pristine appearance.

"You will kill me?" She brushed her fingers through his gray hairs and all of a sudden. Grabbing a fistful of them she yanked at them pulling his neck to a sharp twist leaving him to groan in pain.

"Like you killed your sister hm?" She stared deep into his eyes seeing his orbs shake while hearing her words. "Like you snatched everything away from her? Like you made her beg for letting her live for her kids but~ You never listened and killed her, I just learned it from you all, the murderers of my family, I love it when they beg me for mercy and then I kill them in the most brutal ways, I can. But it fails to quench my thirst, I feel hungry for more, more blood, more death till I reach to the necks of those who killed MY mother"

A thick gulp ran down his throat seeing the fire behind her eyes. Pitch black it was and it burned fiercely in those honey orbs. Placing her boot on his throat she pressed it down mercilessly glaring at the man with a murderous gaze. The old man wheezed and gasped for air.

"You were her brother dear; you were supposed to protect her but you let them all kill her right in front of you, and you thought you could evade, oh no! I am the Karma born to destroy you, I am the poison ivy you sowed, I am the death of you and those other four weeds, I vowed to uproot you all and I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I GRAB EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU BY NECK AND AVENGE MY MOTHER" She screamed letting a bunch of punches loose to the old man's face breaking his nose painting her hands red.

"You will speak of them, you will disclose them, you will tell me their names or I swear I will make you skin yourself alive" she yelled, each punch spurting blood in the air till her hands ached to how she had ruined the old man's face.

"Who were the others with you who killed Seoyeon?" She asked with heavy breaths forcing their way in and out of her lungs. The old man remained there whimpering with his lips glued to each other. Sickening silence engulfed them leaving the rustling of leaves and whispering of breeze so cold that makes your bones rattle and teeth clatter but she stood there burning in the fire of revenge to avenge her mother.

"FUCKING SPEAK RIGHT NOW!" Venom screamed glaring at the old man with her piercing gaze.

"I-I don't know"

A deep growl rumbled in the back of her throat that made the man halt his train of words. She stomped towards the cabin and swiftly returned, wielding a chainsaw in her grip. Seizing the man by his hair, she dragged him forth, causing him to groan and whimper in agony as his scalp stung from the hairs ripped from his head. In one single move, the chainsaw rested at his neck, while she sat right over his chest to keep him from moving, coming eye to eye with him.

"I won't think twice trust me" She pressed the saw forth that was not powered on yet but its sharp thorns-like blades still poked through his skin leaving the man to wince.

"Speak!" Name the others. Who was the man with the anchor symbol behind in neck? Who was it? The one with the anchor tattoo?"

"I-I don't know" The girl growled agitated, pulling the chainsaw away from his neck she turned it on and plunged the fast-moving blades into the man's shoulder.

"Argh~ He screamed in pain. The blades shredded his flesh drilling past the layers of clothes. Blood oozed being spurted through the air with his muscles shredding as the blades went in deeper. His painful screams left the rustling of leaves and whispering of breeze mute. A crackling sound of bone hit their hearing with an arm freshly chopped off falling limp to the dirt. She watched him like a flared serpent raging as his blood oozed out and spurted on her face. Seeing the hysteric devil forth Seokjin felt his knees weakening. He rested his shoulder with the tree trunk spectating the merciless acts of violence.

I made a mistake. I made a mistake. I made a mistake~ He chanted with mute words rubbing his sweaty palms over his material of jeans.

"SPEAK" Venom yelled in the old man's face whose body was shaking with the unbearable pain shooting through his left side of the body as the chopped-off arm was resting on the dirt on the side.

The man just screamed in pain leaving her annoyed, she got up and pushed the chainsaw through the flesh of his thigh. The blades once again shredded the man's flesh like a soft teddy bear being torn open. His heart-wrenching screams and pleads booming through the dead forest. Seokjin watched with wide-open eyes like a saucer no doubt why she was called the dark angel and Lucifer of the underworld. She was indeed heartless. Seokjin could feel those sharp blades through his skull when she would come to know of his facade.

"You don't care about your life don't you?" She voiced drenched red in blood, watching the man just whimper dying slowly now. "Look I really didn't want to involve others in this but if you don't speak now I'll have to pay a special visit to Moon Byul"

The said left the shredded man gawking at her in pure terror.

"Moon Byul? H-HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY DAUGHTER"

"Oh come on old man I know everything about you and your family, Moon is in States and easier for me to grab trust me, and well she's pretty, you must know I am very fond of human dolls in my masquerade" venom spoke her bloodied face once again grazed with a smirk as she brushed her hairs back with her blood covered hands.

Seokjin was feeling sick right now dreading the outcomes of his deal indeed he was regretting it now but what more choices he had? To end an enemy, you have to cut the deepest of its roots, right?

"Not Moon, p-please" The man shivered choking on his blood again.

"Moon, what a pretty name, I want to collar her neck, mark her mine while she pleases the dogs in my masquerade"

"NO PLEASE"

"Mhm? You don't want me to touch her?" The man shook his head his eyes heavy as the warmth of life left his body slowly.

"Well, I can think about that if you answer my question will you huh ?" She brushed his hair back from his pale nearly dead face.

"Answer me or you have my word, I will keep you alive to see your blood pleasing every street dog in the underworld"

"N-no please" He spoke with effort.

"Then tell me, the guy with that tattoo on the back of his neck, just give me his name, just his, nothing more, nothing less" The man nodded, leaving the girl eager to hear his words now.

"I r-really don't know but h-he knows, h-he saw him-"

"Who!?"

"Th-they call him Pha-"

But before he could utter another word a gunshot went off and Venom watched a bullet drill past the man's forehead silencing him altogether.

They were being watched?

Another gunshot went off with the bullet drilling past her arm and she fell to her side clutching onto her arm, she groaned as the piercing pain shot up through her shoulder.

Sliding her gun out she rolled on the ground and dragged herself to take cover she pulled the safety off. Huffing she looked around to see some figures in blue pilling from all sides. Booming of gunshots and screams was all over the place. A body slid down beside her, It was no one other than Seokjin.

"I will handle this, you take cover, oh shit you are bleeding-" A gunshot went off nearby leaving their ears ringing causing them to duck down. Seokjin hurriedly grabbed her trying to pull the girl away, whose gaze was solely stuck to the shredded body of the dead man, his eyes already gloomed with no light of life left in them. The dead body laid there limp and cold.

"Come on, we've to go, Master~"

"N-no, he was to tell me, he was going to tell me, HE WAS TELL ME WHO KILLED MY MOTHER?"

"He's dead, we have to go now"

"GET OFF, DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU CAN'T KEEP ME AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, HE WAS GOING TO TELL ME, HE WAS GOING TO SAY IT, LET ME GO~" Jungkook tried reaching to her but got pushed away harshly and so did Seokjin.

"Child" Yoongi called out leaving the girl to suck in heavy breaths. "He's gone, we have to go now, come" he spoke in a low voice.

Venom looked at the dead body, moisture now glistening in her orbs as she was pulled away from the scene.

He's gone? But why so soon? He was to tell me

He was to... My mother, I... was to avenge her today, I...

Her existence started to shake uncontrollably now.

I...I was so close.

It was then that Yoongi and Jungkook had seen something they never thought to see even in the most vague dreams of theirs, a crystal clear stream of tears running down her eyes and the contour of her cheeks.

I... Failed her.

The same words boomed in her mind as she saw the woman with a swollen belly being beaten to death brutally in the back of her head. The same nightmare now she saw with open eyes and it was horrifying.

I failed her.
