Chapter Text
With night approaching it was obvious things weren’t going the direction they were supposed to while Yoongi had a few bad feelings but there was something he knew he had to open up about and he needed to make sure he went one by one with the main people that could be an issue to what he was planning. Yoongi went to Jimin’s room while it seemed like he was recording something,
“What are you doing?”
“Just recording something just in case.”
“In case of what?” Jimin put his head down. Jimin looked at the door and he got up and closed it,
“Me telling you this isn’t going to change what I have to do.” Yoongi hated what was happening but what he hated more was the fact that Jimin sounded determined, “My times almost up and I’m going to make sure when I’m sent back I’m going to make sure that everyone survives through it all.” Jimin went back to his chair in front of the recorder and took a breath, “In my village, at the age of 13 you are chosen to go through the process of figuring out how you're going to use your powers. Now during that training you are given rules and what not but once you get it everything is on you but one of the number one rules is to never use your powers to directly hinder someone. Now even when I was younger I found it stupid and didn’t know what they meant when they said the word ‘hinder’ because once you leave the village ‘hinder’ can mean a lot of things so during times when there wasn’t anyone else around I’d ask the elected Elder at the time what ‘hinder’ meant and instead they showed me what was a clock that had both of the hands pointing to the 12 and said ‘when your time is up it doesn’t matter how good you are or how bad you are you will be brought back home’ Now of course after hearing something like that I was confused on what he was talking about but in looking up I noticed he had tears coming down his face and.” Jimin took a breath, “He closed himself out.” Jimin rubbed his arm and took a breath, “When people talked about being picked being random and the universe and what not but seeing if for myself it seemed like a complete and utter case of bullshit but when I was walking through the woods I found myself seeing someone appear in front of me and just collapse and without thinking I just grabbed him and checked to see if he was okay and once I touched him. I was picked. There were so many things flying through my mind and waking up the Elder was there and he pointed towards my arm showing me the clock.” Jimin turned his arm and rubbed his hand over a spot where a clock appeared and it was on 11, “I’ve had this thing on me for years and I never knew what caused it or not but seeing it here now I’ve decided to be selfish. I can’t stop the visions of everyone dying but I know I can stop the first death from happening and if I stop the first one then none of the others happen. I’ve been going by everyone and make tapes for everyone. I know it’s old school but I wanted to make sure it was something that was me.” Jimin smiled,
“What are you gonna do?”
“I can’t tell you that because that way you’ll have a chance to stop me. You can tell the boys all you want to but it doesn’t change how things will end up. After this battle I’m going to be back at my village with no memory of any of you.” Jimin put his head down and took a breath, “But in this life I’ll know that you all are alive and I did everything I could to make sure you all are together and there for each other. You and Taehyung, Namjoon and Seokjin.”
“What about Jungkook?” Yoongi asked, “What about Hoseok?”
“They have each other.”
“But you know it’s not the same.” Yoongi couldn’t understand,
“I would rather lose my memories then lose any of you. I’m going back anyway and there’s nothing stop it. Once that hand get to 12 I’m back in my village. Now thankfully enough none of them came as bodies but if I’m going to forget you all I’d make sure you all were safe now just be stuck living whatever life I have clueless to the lives lost.” Yoongi looked at him,
“You should tell them.”
“I can’t.”
“You can and I’m going to make sure you do before it’s too late.” Jimin looked at him,
“Okay.”
I forgot how bad my knees would hurt with this but in making sure I rubbed my knees through it I had to make sure I did what I could to make sure Hoseok did what he needed to do because it wouldn’t work unless Hoseok did his part of things. I could always sense how Hoseok was good with his powers and him picking himself over the others seemed to hinder the bigger picture. Hoseok picking himself up while he has his moments while we continue to dive in finding things hoping everything,
“What now?” Hoseok asked,
“I don’t know.” I changed my position while I looked over at him, “We gave them everything we could from the spells, the locations, and even went to the closer things of him talking about what he was going to hit first.” I looked over at Hoseok, “Don’t worry they are going to save you.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“I know it’s not, I’m just trying to say something to help you because your energy is terrible right now.” I was annoyed how shitty it all was but even me telling him he was going to be okay still wasn’t enough. I was here being drained, being used, and abused but he was just a puppet. The things that this man could go through was child’s play in comparison to what could have been happening, “I can't help you feel better about your situation. I can only do what little I can at a time so what can I do to prepare you for whatever.”
“There is no way to prepare for whatever.” Hoseok gave me a look,
“You’re all powerful right? So why don’t you figure something else out?”
“The only thing I know right now is that the future is in the hands of your friends because right now with you connected to him and this necklace on my neck there is nothing I can do.” She grabbed it and it sparked while her hands glowed, “I can’t take it off.” Hoseok looked at her and went closer while he grabbed it and it shocked him as well, “Only person who can take it off is him. Only person to undo your bind is him. So as I said everything is in the hands of your friends. I mean you have six powerful coven members they can come up with something together.” I then looked at him, “You know we have some time, why don’t you tell me how you met everyone.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know. Maybe if I know something about them I’ll be able to figure things out. I mean powers wise I’d imagine Jimin knows exactly how it’s going to end but I mean with Jungkook being Mr. Mystery kind of confusing on how that works.” Hoseok looked at me and then he leaned against the bars,
“Our birthdays are on the same year.”
“That’s interesting.” I said looking at him,
“How does that work? Age or power?”
“Neither well because of your power box it's more so on who can take who out faster. I mean at first it was a fun thing but after everything in that box of yours it was faced in front of us just how easy Namjoon and I can take anyone down.”
“What if you and Namjoon go against each other?”
“We swore we wouldn’t.”
“But what if you did?” Hoseok rolled his eyes,
“With everything we’ve been through even if there was a chance it wouldn’t go far because the only thing I’d have to do was touch him and he’d bind me until I was done.”
“But between the seven Taehyung, Jimin, and Seokjin are the real killers. I mean stop your heart, if your mind believes it your body follows, and Time follows those same things.”
“Jimin has never killed anyone with his powers.” I looked at Hoseok,
“Never.”
“No.” I shrugged my shoulders,
“Just making an observation. You may say Namjoon and you are on top.” Hearing the footsteps while I went back to my knees and went back into submission mode while I listened for anything important,
“What’s the rescue team doing?” I showed a picture of the six of them sitting at a table together with papers in front of them on the table, “I wanna see what they are looking at.” I zoomed into the pictures but made sure that the picture changed in showing the faces in seeing how they started moving the papers over, “What’s happening?” He asked. I opened my mouth,
“Taehyung he’s listening in.” While they started scrambling around while I got up and walked towards him, “I’m not connected to you anymore so I’m going to do everything I can to get rid of you once and for all.”
“Burn the house down.” I closed the connection right after he said it starting with the top floor so they have enough time to get out. While I sat back down in the new spot I was in, “I hope you understand that your group are now first on my list but instead of just having her do it I’m going to make sure I do it all one at a time. Tell me baby which one is the strongest.”
“Jimin.”
“That’s a lie.” Hoseok said,
“If anyone knows it’s her. I mean he’s the time one, right?”
“Future, Past, and Present.”
“But time changes all the time.”
“He’s running out of time.” I said. It was a feeling. His power level was high but it wasn’t outright the most and it was power then it was in the beginning,
“Of course he is because I’m going to kill him and I’m going to do it in front of you and then force you to relive the memory of how you couldn’t do anything to save them while I kill them one at a time. How about you give him his own nightmare of seeing me kill them.” I looked towards him while I instead put him in more emotional moments with them and let him have those alone. He needed to be sad and he needed to cry but what he was crying about wasn’t going to be from pain. Since he found a way to get me out of my own prison and gave me control over myself again I was going to use as many cheat codes as I could, “Don’t let him up until he’s begging you to stop.” Hearing him walk away I found myself taking a breath while I looked over to him knowing he wasn’t going to beg so I was going to instead pull him out when all six memories were done. I instead went back to where they were living and made sure they were all out and the place was burned down,
“Is he safe?” I turned to see Taehyung,
“As safe as he can be.”
“Thanks for changing the pictures. How’d you get out?”
“Hoseok found a way to do it from something in his past.”
“Like those symbols he gave us?” I nodded my head. I heard the crackle, “Why won’t it stop?”
“Because if he doesn’t see it’s burned down he’ll know. He knows you six are strong enough to get out but if the house isn’t burned down he will question if I’m holding back.” Taehyung shook his head,
“Is there anything you can tell us?” I shook my head,
“Everything you know we know. I mean obviously he’s going to go for Jimin first.”
“What do you mean?”
“You, Jimin, and Seokjin are in the top. With that you should try to figure out the breaking of the bond because you can’t disconnect the bind in the necklace.” I said point down towards him,
“I never apologized.”
“You don’t have to. You believed you were going to be back home by the time things were over but since you're a threat he’s coming for you first to take out the main competition.”
“Why wouldn't he come for me first?”
“Because I told him Jimin was the most powerful.”
“I’m the most powerful.”
“Technically yes but when it comes to things Jimin is higher than you. You may be able to get into everyone's mind but Jimin can feel it and stop time which means stopping you from finishing.”
“Jimin has to touch me first.”
“Do you have to touch people?” I watched as his eyes looked at him while his mind which through what was multiple scenarios of what could have happened while I looked back towards the fire seeing something purple only to feel my neck burn coming back,
“Where the fuck are you and why the fuck aren’t you fucking listening to me?” I found myself pulling Hoseok out of his memories while he started screaming. I had to start breathing again while I had to go back through my focus while he grabbed my chin and pushed me back, “When’d you get pulled out?” I turned my eyes back while I looked at him,
“Does it matter, this necklace binds me to you regardless?” I asked, looking at him. He looked between us while he scoffed,
“Guess your right.” He looked between us while he left again. I looked over at Hoseok,
“I’m sorry I tried to give you memories that would be emotional and less painful but I guess some of the emotional memories are painful.” I said looking over at him while he looked at me,
“Your idea of emotional and mine are completely fucking different.” I looked away from him,
“I had a lot of things going on but your boys are safe. They all made it out.”
“Jungkook would have made sure of that.”
“What does he do?”
“If you don’t know he doesn’t know which works better as a mystery for only us to know.”
“He’s a copy, isn’t he?”
“He does whatever.” Hoseok wiped his face while I looked at him,
“Let me help.”
“With what?”
“The headache and other pains from what I did.” He looked at me,
“There’s only one thing I want you to do is swear that you’re going to make sure the seven of us all survive together.” She looked at him,
“I’ll do what I can.”
“You’re going to do more than that. You've been playing in loop holes and you're going to put it down now to making sure the seven of us not only survive but survive together.”
“You’re putting me in a bind.” I said looking at him, “I can’t swear that but I can do my fucking best. That’s the only thing I’m doing, do you understand?”
“You owe us.”
“I don’t owe you shit. You were supposed to sell me out and Yoongi and Taehyung power couple of the fucking centery who made things more complicated sadly both in the opposite direction.” I turned away from them, “I’ll make sure whatever happens you will all be together.” Hoseok pulled his legs in while I just shook my head. Why the fuck was he doing this? Why was he making this thing all my fault when this was all about him? Thinking about it honestly it would have been easy to protect them but until the connection between them was broken there wasn’t much that could be done but I would try my best to keep them together in the end. If anyone deserved to be happy at least they should.
