Suddenly, it pounces on me, taking me by surprise. I let out a gasp and my bow goes flying out of my graps.

"No!" I let out a hysterical cry.

The wolf traps me between his body and the floor, preventing me from escaping. I kick my two legs up and force them to its chest to prevent it from sinking its fangs into my skin or ripping my organs out, this action hurts my ribs, and I wince in pain.

I consider shouting for help, but if I do, this means attracting attention, and for all I know, this wolf might have came with his pack. The wolf uses its hind legs and presses my stomach, digging its claws into the skin. It uses its paws to force out the air from my lungs, and it burns, it burns so badly I can't breathe. My two legs start to ache, and when I'm about to give up fighting, the heavy weight of the wolf gets thrown off of me.

I lie on floor while gasping heavily as I try to recover my breath.

"Are you alright?" Asks a familiar voice, and I retort back, "Do I look fine to you?"

I am met with silence. I tilt my head up tiredly, and my eyes meets Jeongguk's.

"Jeongguk . . ." I manage to croak out.

I close my eyes, and pair of strong pulls me up and against his chest, gathering me in his warm arms.  Jeongguk eases an arm under my knees and starts to walk away from the dead wolf.

"Wait." I stop him.

"What?"

"My bow and arrow," I say weakly and gesture towards the bow and sheath of arrows lying on the muddy ground. I hear Jeongguk let out a grumble and he says, "I'll get it for you later, but right now, we need to get your new wounds treated." He starts humming a song.

And I don't stop him.

I press my face against his shoulders and let his soft voice lull me to sleep.

When I wake up, my head feeling light and fuzzy, and the pain is a constant throb in my head and ribs. I feel something cold touch my forehead and my right eye, and I stifle a groan and the direct contact.

"Is he up?" A high pitched voice asks.

"I think he is," Says another familiar voice that I could not recognise.

"Taehyung, can you hear me?" Someone shakes my shoulder lightly, waking me up from my slumber. I open my left eye—since the other has an ice pack lying right on top of it—and look around me. Everything seems to spin around me like a top, and I have to slam my head a few times for my vision to focus.

"Taehyung," Namjoon says sternly, sending shivers down my spine.

I push myself up and slide under the covers, because I feel small when I'm lying on the bed and looking at Namjoon.

"Yeah?"

"Where are the weapons our parents made for us?" Namjoon asks, and this snaps me from my daze. Namjoon asked me for the weapons—why?

"I don't know."

"Taehyung, stop lying, I know you hid it somewhere. Now tell me where you hid it?" He demands. I shift my eyes around the room to avoid his haunting glare, and they meet Jeongguk's.

We hold gazes for a moment, and then gratitude floods my system. Jeongguk knows where my weapons are but he has not told Namjoon.

"Why do you want it?" I ask in a hushed tone, and shift my gaze from Jeongguk to Namjoon. Namjoon sets his jaw, and says, "To burn them."

Something in me sets off like a ticking bomb, and I launch myself onto Namjoon. Jeongguk and Jimin pull me away from him and into the living room. I transform into a wild animal—kicking, screaming, and clawing, anything to get to Namjoon.

With a rough push, I get Jeongguk and Jimin's iron grip off my arm, and sprint to the front door.

"That was our last present from our parents and I can't believe you want to burn it away. I don't know you anymore, Namjoon." I direct my words to Namjoon—who casts his gaze down on the floor, guilt and shame painted on his face. Good. That's what I want him to feel.

"Goodbye."

I walk out of the house, and transform into my wolf form. With nothing else on my mind, I do the only thing I can think of; I run into the woods, with tears running down my snout.
