With the murky water clouding your vision you frantically clawed at the glass floor, Taehyung's pain-stricken face staring at you with such fear you involuntarily screamed out for him.
You reached the side of the tank, pounding as hard as you could against the glass with every ounce of strength you could muster.
Ursula's hands gripped tightly around an exposed sparking wire, you watched in horror as she brought it into contact with Taehyung once again, his body convulsing against the electric current shooting through him.
"NOO!!!" You screamed out, the adrenaline coursing through your veins making you pound so hard on the glass you started to see streams of blood mix with the surrounding water.
Taehyung met your gaze once more, your desperation never wavering as he stared back at you, eyes half-lidded as you watched the life start to drain from his eyes.
"NO!! NO NO! STOP! PLEASE!" You screamed, the blood seeping from the self-inflicted wounds on your hands now covering your view of Taehyung completely.
A sob escaped your lips as you heard the thump of a lifeless body hitting the floor outside your glass prison.
The manic laughter of Ursula echoed around you as if there were hundreds of her surrounding you from all sides.
Almost as if she was inside the tank with you...
"Loverboy can't save you now"
Her sudden menacing voice brushing against your ear made you shriek in panic just before you felt hands wrap tightly around your neck.
The murky water surrounding you began to pulse, the reality that you were seeing disappearing before your eyes as you felt yourself slowly fading away...

You sat up straight in bed, hands clutching at your chest in a feeble attempt to keep your heart from beating out of your ribs.
Holy sh*t
Holy f**k
Okay
I'm okay
Just a dream...
It was just a dream...
You waited until your heartbeat had slowed a little, your breathing somewhat under control before you slid back down into bed.
It had been a few days since you were saved from the fish tank prison. Your body didn't hurt so bad anymore, and the apparent chlorine poisoning had thankfully worn off after a well-deserved moon pool bath that Soon-Ja had come over to draw for you.
Taehyung spent day and night in your room with you, fetching tea and food whenever you needed it and sitting next to you while you slept.
The boys had stopped by a few times to check on you too, which kept you thoroughly entertained, to say the least.
Jimin, in particular, was being extra clingy. The boy had to be pried away from you when the time came to sleep, begging to stay at the end of your bed as if he was some kind of guard dog.
Well... more like guard puppy.
Despite all the extra attention and comfort you were getting, it didn't stop the nightmares from coming.
They realistic and horrifying you felt like you were in a state of constant sleep deprivation.
Every passing night they seemed to worsen tenfold.
