Hoseok and me ran through the deserted street. It was this "bigger" street in the forest that used to function as a highway. I tried to keep myself calm but I couldn't suppress the thoughts of Yoongi. What if something had happened to him in the meantime? What if the blood loss was so severe that he was already ... No, I couldn't think of that.

At some point, Hoseok took a turn right and between two big trees, I saw Yoongi. As I came closer, and I was able to getter a better look at him my heart dropped.

It was bad

Like really bad

It was a deep cut 

I knelt down beside him

     'What are you doing here y/n? it's too dangerous' Yoongi said bewildered, but also clearly in pain. His face was pale and tense.

     'No, it's not. Your leg, it's .'..' I choked on the words as a lump formed in my throat

      'hey it's not that bad.' he tried to reassure me.

What was I doing? Yoongi was hurt. There was no time for me to whine about it. I shook my head.

       'We need to disinfect the wound and have a strong bandage around it' I stated formally.

Hoseok opened the bag with everything we had gathered in the house to treat his wound.

I handed him a small bottle of whiskey

      'I found this, maybe you want it against the pain' I said while handing it to him.

He chuckled 'y/n, ill need a lot more than this thing to numb the pain'

     'but thank you' he added sincerely and he opened it and drank it in one go.

Hoseok and I looked at each other.

I first cleaned the area around his cut, eventually, I took out the disinfection spray.

      'okay, this will sting' I said as I pointed the spray towards his wound. He nodded at me to say he was ready.

He grunted as he spray hit his wound, I had to say I was impressed by how composed he stayed. That stuff really hurt like hell.

     'Okay now we will put the bandage around it' I explained. Hoseok handed me the bandage but I almost dropped it when I heard a sound.

We all froze at the same time.

The Others, they were around.

It was probable that they had found the bodies of their kin.

After a good 10 seconds, I handed the bandage back to Hoseok

       'Hoseok, treat Yoongi's wound and get him out of here. I will lead the Others away from you two'

       'No' Yoongi immediately said

        'Yes, you hear it too, right? They are walking in this direction. We can't take the risk' I replied

       'You're not leaving me' He said again

        'I will go' Hoseok suggested

I shook my head 'No I need you to get Yoongi back and protect him. Please Hoseok?'

        'No y/n' Yoongi's voice was almost in a begging tone.

I looked at him 'You said it yourself Yoongi, I am best at hiding.' I was referring to a conversation we had in the first week after we left the basement. 

I got into an argument with yoongi again about the fact I wasn't allowed to go on the scouting moments with Namjoon and the group.

Yoongi had told me I wasn't a fighter but my strength was in hiding, as a response I got super angry as I took it as an insult, he didn't mean in that way though. He said it was a skill, I was quick and agile and I was able to find good places to hide plus my tree climbing skills attributed to that.

     'I stand a better chance than Hoseok and you know it.'

Yoongi looked from me to hoseok and back to me again. I knew he was thinking that I was right, but he was reluctant to admit it. 

I stood up fully 'I will see you soon back in the house okay? You'd better be healing when I get back' I said in a bossy way.

I was about to walk away when Yoongi called out my name.

I looked over my shoulders as he choked on his words. I ran back and kissed him shortly on his lips 'I'll see you soon' I whispered.

      'See you y/n' Hoseok said with a reassuring nod 'See you soon hobi' I replied and with that, I ran off.

I initially ran towards the sound of the others, in order to get them away from Hoseok and Yoongi they had to see me first and follow me. 

and before I knew it I saw them on the same abandoned street I had run. They were still pretty far away, which made it hard for me to see their faces. but one thing was sure, they had seen me as they started running towards me.

I immediately ran sideways into the woods again, but in the opposite direction of where Yoongi and Hoseok were. I was scanning the trees for one that was easy to get in and out of, one that was high enough so that I wasn't too visible and one that was strong enough to actually hold me.

Finally, I saw one and I quickly climbed in. The sound of the others came closer and closer and suddenly I saw them.

I held my breath, trying not to move, not to make any sort of sound 

They were right below me. I realized, as I could clearly see their faces now, that this was a different group than the ones I had seen that day at the bridge, when Namjoon and Jin left.

How many Others were in this area? and why?

There were so many questions going through my mind. At the same time, I also wanted to observe the others. They were all young, they were with 10, just like my group initially was. They were all guys, I couldn't spot a single female, but then again I hardly ever saw them.

One of the boys I saw had black short hair, his ears were full of piercings and his arm had drawings on them. The other one I saw was a bit shorter but also had black short hair, his arms muscled as far as I could see. Before I could observe anyone else they moved on and ran further. 

I let out a sigh of relief.

That was really close.

I would wait a bit longer for them to be fully gone before moving.

But, suddenly sound emerged again from the group in the distance. I turned my gaze at them and to my shock, one of the Others was looking up, straight into my direction.
