||A Truth & A Lie ||•Kim Taehyung~Reader•

#26

Nami stepped inside the cave like entrance, her heart beated unsteadily. To be honest she didn't want to step foot in here. She didn't look back, she felt if she saw Taehyung her heart wouldn't have the courage to face this situation. She would rely on Taehyung to find another way to escape this. But she wanted to be strong and independent. She gathered her wits cause she had to do this by hook or by crook.

The stairs began at the opening, stoned steps going downwards in a dimly lit basement. Nami took steady slow steps, one at a time. She finally reached an end. The staircase wasn't to long, as soon as she exited the stoned narrow walls and stairs. She froze before walking in. She didn't know what she would see, but she prayed whatever she sees doesn't leave a scar on her life.

She peeped towards its sides, there were cages, huge square ones, one fire lamp lit outside each cage. She didn't know where to look for Jungkook.

She looked inside the cages. The first one was empty; she gazed at the other one and saw something curled on the floor. It looked like huge lizard. Her eyes went wide at the sight.

She unknowingly started walking deeper in the dungeon, she was surprised to see no gatekeepers or guards. She stopped next to a cage and peeped inside.

A Black Hideous Face appeared, Nami yelled and fell back on the ground. The Wolf howled and pounced on the cage, his face was monstrous and disfigured. His mouth was open, huge drops of saliva dripping. He clawed at Nami. She was frightened. She quickly got up and ran away from that revolting nightmare.

She ran as quick as she could and hid behind a wall
parting two cages.

She shivered, she slid down on the ground. What she saw was horrifying. She clasped her hands together and whispered to herself "Nami for Taehyung... you have to do this."

She stood up and once again buckled herself up for this search operation.

Her heart suddenly ached again, she felt her chest tighten, the sensation almost making her breathless. She pressed her palm on the location of her heart and groaned a little. The pain was stinging like, as of someone was trying to cut through her chest. She tried to breathe as much as she could but was failing slowly. She clenched the area around her heart.

What's happening to me?

It Hurts.....

Nami thought to herself.

She just wanted to take Jungkook and get out of this God for saken place.

But,

How?

Where?

What?

These one word questions encircled her head. She felt her body growing cooler, this dungeon was like slow poison for a creature it would take decades to die but for humans barely minutes of savourly life and they would decay.

Nami took support of the walls and kept walking. She passed by multiple dungeons. Rebellious, horrendous creatures served a punishment. Their appearance would scare even the angel of death.

She covered her eyes sometimes, she sobbed as she saw so much misery, so much pain, her heart was too weak to bear all this. This place was nothing but a torture. Yet Nami was determined to find Jungkook.

She stood at a pillar once again, breathing heavily. She whispered "Taehyung..." the mention of his name, the moment his name rolled off her tongue. She felt determination pile up.

"Hey.."

Nami heard a deep crooked like voice from the dungeon next to her.

She peeped slowly.

"That's right.. come over here..."

She reached the dungeon and tried to look through the darkness. A shadow like figure appeared, it was walking forward, as the dim light shone, Nami saw it was a dwarf like women.

Nani stepped back.

"Don't be afraid ... your looking for someone aren't you?"

Nami nodded, her tongue was tied.

"Who is it?"

Nami didn't answer she just stared at the awful looking creature.

"Hey don't be scared, I'm in this cage how can I possibly hurt you. I'm just trying to help."

Nami felt a little convinced. She knew that thing was in the cage no way it could attack her or hurt her.

"Jungkook... I'm looking for Jungkook." She answered.

"Oh that heavenly creature... what a twisted tale his life is.." the creature mourned.

"Do.. do you know where he is?" Nami asked fearfully.

"As a matter of fact... yes I do..."

Nami eyes lightened up. She stepped closer. She felt hope rise as she felt she would find Jungkook soon.

"Please then tell me! Please tell me! Where he is!" Nami begged.

"Uh Uh Uh... not so easily I need you to do something for me first."

Cunning..

Nami thought. The creature was smart but Nami had no option. She was in crisis, she needed to find Jungkook as soon as possible.

"what do you want me to do?" Nami asked confidently.

"It's pretty simple... that dungeon you see there. Just walk inside and come out and I'll tell you where he is."

Nami didn't like the idea, she looked towards the dungeon the creature told her to go in. It was empty no one was there. Yet it had an odd vibe to it.

But she made her mind up. She would do it.

"But before I go in... tell me where Jungkook is."

"He is very close to you and me... finish what I said and I'll tell the exact location."

Nami growled and slowly started taking steps towards the dungeon on the end, it was deep inside.

She stepped inside, the steel bars of the dungeon were rusted. The room was the definition of 'pin drop silence'

Nami was greeted by spider webs and dust, as she turned around to leave. Something glowed right in the centre of the cage.

Nami fiddled with the hem of her clothing. She stepped closer, her body sparked in curiousness. She couldn't resist seeing what was glowing.

Bright red... it was so red that even Namis pupils shone that colour. She bent lower. An urge to touch it ran in her veins. She knew this was wrong but she couldn't do anything, the feeling to know what that light was unstoppable

And she touched it.

The radiation absorbed in her body. She screamed in terror. The glowing light was inside her body. She saw the current of red light travelling from her hands in her veins upwards to her heart. She tired to catch her arms in an attempt to pull the light out. But this light was inside of her now. She felt her heart ache again, but this time the pain pounded.

She clenched her arms around her chest, she moaned in pain. Her heart was ballistic. It felt like her heart would rip out of her cages and kill her. She fell back and closed her eyes.

The veins around her neck glowed red. The pain was dying down but she felt weak.

Nami thought.
What was that?

Is it in me? If it is then what is it?
