Taehyung's POV

"Taehyung! Help me!" My head snaps around, taking in the sight of the world that's falling apart. There are creatures of all shapes and sizes, faces twisted and laughs filling the area. Where is everyone else? Where's Namjoon?

Jungkook screams, trying to fight off the creatures that keep a firm grip on him. "Taehyung!" The scream is heartbreaking. My legs push me forward, magic spilling from my fingertips. "Hold on!" I scream, slicing my way through the battlefield that splits open, blood flying in the air from the creatures I slice.

"Help me! Please! Don't let them take me!" He cries, tears spilling down his face as he fights back as best as he can. He's punching and kicking, moving around as much as he can to free himself of their grip. I scream, anger boiling within me.

I send water to push away some of the creatures, ice working to clear a straight path towards Jungkook. Darkness dances around my body but it doesn't do anything. Jungkook's heartbreaking cries and screams are the only things that fill my ears, but I can't reach him.

Where the fuck is Namjoon and the others?

"Cupcake!" I scream, watching as a creature's arm is swung directly in front of me. I don't have time to properly block it, darkness casting a shield around me. I'm sent flying, back to the beginning where I started. Jungkook looks at me, tears spilling from his eyes.

"Taehyung!" I'm pushing myself back up onto my feet despite the pain that floods my body. "Jungkook!" I roar, wings appearing. The creatures are multiplying, more and more of them surrounding my lover. I can barely see him now, his screams beginning to die down.

"Let him go!" I scream, feeling my magic power build up inside of me. "Jungkook! Keep fighting!" I can hear him shout my name again before everything falls silent. It doesn't last though. The ground rumbles, shaking everything. The creatures laugh.

My wings somehow disappear and I'm falling straight into the void. A scream builds in my throat but it doesn't come out. Darkness surrounds me as I fall, my heart thumping so loud it's heard in my ears. Everything is a blur, everything is fading. I'm falling.

There's a hand around my wrist, my eyes opening to find fingers digging into my skin. I look up, spotting Jungkook... but something's off. His hair is pitch black, eyes blood red, lips dark red, and... is that blood? He smiles devilishly, nails digging into my wrist causing me to bleed.

"Jungkook?" He only laughs, his fist colliding with my gut. I cry out, flying into a wall. When was that there? What the fuck? What happened? He has wings but they're so different. They're torn and... red? There's, like, blades on the tips of the feathers. Actually, they aren't even feathers.

He still has his fire but it's darker and a lot more menacing than it usually is. It's red... almost a black color. What happened to him? He screams, tilting his head. I cover my ears, hearing the scream echo through the room.

"What's wrong, Taehyungie?" I gulp, looking at him. This isn't Jungkook. No... this can't be him. He steps forward but suddenly he's directly in front of me, hand wrapped around my throat and lifting me into the air. "Hmm? Come on, talk to me~" He draws out, giggling.

I claw at his hand, darkness swirling around my fingers. It forms claws, the magic digging into Jungkook's hand, causing him to release this guttural sound. He drops me, eyes narrowing into a glare as they darken. "You'll fucking regret that!" He charges at me but my darkness finally acts, wrapping around his hand and hurting him.

I'm not sure what it's doing but all I know is that it's painful. He's suddenly launched back, his back hitting the wall with so much force that he leaves a dent in the concrete. "Fuck you!" He screams, voice growing more inaudible by the second. This definitely isn't Jungkook.

The room changes and now it looks like... hell? There's lava everywhere. Flames surround us and it's dark. It's a mixture of reds and browns, occasionally some black. Jungkook snickers, flames flying off his body, some striking me. They burn so badly, leaving a mark on my arms.

I scream, knocked down immediately. Everything blurs for a while, my body fights without my consent. I have no idea what's going on, all I know is that I'm fighting and struggling to breathe. "Pathetic!" Jungkook roars, laughing at me as he tilts his head. There's a devilish grin on his face and my blood runs cold when I see it.

He kicks me, sending me flying into a wall that's suddenly there again. Flames trap me, pinning my arms and legs to the brick. He stands from afar, hands twitching, eyes narrowed and lips turned upwards into a wicked smile. "How could you do this to me, Taehyungie?"

My eyes widen when Jungkook's voice is suddenly back. His real voice. His sweet, angelic voice. Tears brim in my eyes as the demon looking Jungkook in front of me speaks. "How could you let them turn me into this..? You promised me.." My eyes widen, tears finally falling.

"You promised me that you'd protect me, Taehyung. Why did you promise me something you wouldn't keep? Why?" My heart aches and all I can do is stare. My magic dies down and I'm just left staring at the demon-like Jungkook who stands before me. "You promised me!" He screams, voice deepening.

It turns demonic.

"YOU PROMISED ME, TAEHYUNG!" My body shudders in response to his voice, the smile never disappearing. It haunts me, my eyes shut. Make it go away. Make it all go away, please. My magic does nothing to help me, I'm left there, defenseless. "Ah, ah, ah, don't look away from me!"

My eyes are forced open and I'm forced to look directly into the demon's eyes. He doesn't look like Jungkook anymore. His face is twisted and that sinister smile is still there. "What happened to that magic power of yours, hmm?" He asks, walking closer to me.

"What happened to all that magic power?" His voice grows deeper and fear runs through my body. "Come on, tiger, show me what you're capable of." His magic toys with me, pinning my legs and creating burns on my skin. "You defeated our Gods with your attacks, so show me what you're capable of."

He sends a wave of magic power at me that hits my stomach and knocks the air of my lungs. I gasp, coughing as he laughs. "Show me!" I'm dropped down to the floor, landing flat on the ground. There's something that hits my back and a pained cry leaves my lips.

"Pathetic! You don't deserve to be an Infinite!" I scream, tears pooling in my eyes from the pain. "Show me what you can do, coward!" I look up, seeing his flames heading for me. I'm able to dodge them, pushing myself onto my knees. His eyes glint with something I can't make out, head tilting to the left.

"Fight me!" He roars, shaking the room when he stomps. I groan, rolling on the ground. My magic power lies dormant in me and he knows it. He's trying to get me to fight back, to lose control. "I refuse!" I scream, standing to my feet.

"I said," He starts, his body growing in size, "show me what you can do!" His roar is loud and it hurts my ears, body launching at mine. I'm tackled, his hand at my throat as he squeezes. I can't breathe, my hands clawing at his hand in an attempt to break free.

He laughs again, lowering his mouth to my ear. "Maybe I should kill you. After what you did to your friends, you don't deserve to live." My world freezes, my eyes opening as I stare at the ceiling. "After you killed them off, one by one, you don't deserve to keep living in this world."

What..?

"After you turned them into a pile of ashes. Stole their powers from them, claimed you would be there, only to turn against them when they needed you," He taunts, squeezing harder. "You claim to be fighting for the good?" He asks, laughing in my ear as I'm lifted off the ground and thrown into the wall.

"You're worse than the devil himself!"

I look up, barely able to breathe and with my vision fading in and out. However, I spot my friends, standing there, staring. Tears run down their cheeks, eyes shut. They look like demons too. "You deserve to suffer after what you put them through! You deserve to rot in hell!"

My power surges through me, my emotions getting the best of me. This can't be true. "You promised to protect them! You promised to protect me!" It's Jungkook's voice, this time filled with anger. It looks like Jungkook too.

"Make it stop..." I whisper, my heart racing and my mind swirling. "Stop..." It's too much. My magic grows, darkness spilling from my fingertips. I'm standing up without my own consent, eyes opening to meet Jungkook's. "You promised us!"

"You're a monster!"

"You don't deserve to live!"

"How could you?!"

My friend's voices fill my head, making my mind swirl. My hands are pressed to my ears in an attempt to make it all go away. "Stop..." I whisper, tears spinning from my eyes. My magic increases and I can't take it.

It's too much.

"You deserve to die!"

"STOP IT!" I roar, my voice growing deeper. My magic unleashes, my body rising into the air. Every magic I contain seeps out of me. The devils that look like my friends smirk, eyes glinting with mischief. "I'LL KILL YOU!" I scream, my magic power destroying the entire room I'm in.

Then I let out this guttural, demonic scream. Light, Earth, Spirit, Lightning, Air, Water, Ice, Fire, and Darkness unleashes from me, destroying the world in one blow. Everything shatters, so do the demons that challenged me.

The world, it turns into nothing but darkness. I'm left laughing, looking down at my hands as they change from my flesh to red and black. There's a mirror in front of me and suddenly I'm no longer the person I am.

I look like a demon.

"Taehyung." It's behind me but I don't bother to turn. "Taehyung." Now it's too my left, a groan releasing from me. "Taehyung!" It's Jungkook's voice, my head snapping back. "Taehyung!" My head pounds and everything begins to spin.

"TAEHYUNG!"

I scream, sitting up, sweating, and breathing heavily. Tears run down my face, my body shaking with the fear that runs through me. "Taehyung! Look at me! What's wrong?!" I turn, seeing Jungkook beside me, the blankets were thrown off of his body as he sits up and wraps his arms around me.

I hug him, shaking terribly, barely able to breathe as he whispers sweet nothings in my ear over and over again. "Shh, it was just a nightmare. It's not real. Calm down. Everything's okay. I'm here." My heart races and my vision is fading again, legs and hands shaking so badly.

"It was just a nightmare. It's okay. Take deep breaths." I try my best but the dream still swirls in my mind. I can still hear the demonic laughter and the screams. I can still feel the fear and the tingling sense of magic.

It was not just a nightmare.

It's a warning.

"I... I have to see Soros," I whisper, looking my lover in the eyes. He nods, holding my hand as the two of us are teleported into Soros' palace. "Soros!" Jungkook shouts, his voice echoing off the walls as he leads me towards the throne room.

Soros piles in, rubbing his eye and looking at me. Concern immediately fills his eyes, his lips forming a frown. "What happened?" Tears run down my face as I hold onto Jungkook. "Taehyung? What's wrong? Son?"

Jungkook gently pushes me towards Soros, kissing my cheek as a way of reassuring me that things are okay. I inhale shakily, looking up at Soros. This wasn't just a nightmare. No. This is a warning. There's a deeper meaning behind this.

"Soros," I whisper, "We need to talk."

What does Taehyung's nightmare mean? Does it mean something?

What's coming?

I purple you 💜
