Prologue
They stood in a row as the ancient witches came at them. They weren’t running but their speed was that of a supernatural being.
“Do we have a plan?” Jungkook said not looking away from the oncoming witches.
“Nope.” Namjoon said in a flat voice.
“What the hell are we supposed to do?” Hoseok said his eyes not moving away from the witches.
“Fight!” Yoongi yelled.
“Defend yourselves!” Jimin yelled and took fighting stance.
There were 12 witches and 7 of them. Ancient, more powerful witches at that.
“Who has the dagger that can kill these bitches?” Taehyung shouted.
“Joonie has it.” Seokjin shouted back and kicked the first oncoming witch in the face so hard her jaw became dislocated and was partially hanging from her face. “Namjoon! Knife!” He shouted as Namjoon threw it to him and Seokjin caught it handle first and stabbed the witch in the eye and the dagger came out the back of her skull. She crumbled to ash right in his hand.
“Gross! I have old lady remains on me!” Seokjin said shaking the ash from himself.
“Uh, worry about that after we take care of the remaining 11!” Jungkook said kicking high up and hitting one in the side of the head. “Knife!” He shouted and Seokjin tossed it to him. One swift move Jungkook stabbed the witch in the back and she as well crumpled to dust in his hands.
“2 down 10 to go?” Taehyung shouted as he fought off two. Both swung out with their long, scaly clawed hands towards his head. He ducked and they hit each other. “Knife!” He shouted and Jungkook tossed it and Taehyung caught and did a sweeping motion in a circle, catching both witches and the crumbled to ash. “Make that 8 to go!” He shouted.
Yoongi grabbed two witches by the neck and smashed their skulls together hard, and a loud crack sounded. “Knife!” He shouted, and Taehyung threw the knife to Yoongi. He catches it and while the two witches are stumbling stabs one then the other in a quick movement. Both turned to ash. “That’s 2 more down. What are we up to?”
“That would be 6 more.” Namjoon said kicking one in the stomach then the face. “Knife!” Yoongi threw it to Namjoon, who caught it and immediately thrust it into the witch’s stomach. “Now that would be 5!”
They finally managed to take out the last 5 witches. The team of guys stared out at the various piles of ash strewn across the courtyard.
“I think we are in serious trouble.” Jimin said looking up and in front of them
Namjoon glanced at him and asked “Why?” Jimin pointed in front of them.
A flock of 50 or more witches were headed right in their direction.
“Oh shit.” Yoongi said.
Each team member turned away to run, knowing they couldn’t handle this many at once, but stopped immediately.
It was like turning around to look in a mirror. There stood what could only be perceived as identical copies of themselves. Each man’s jaw dropped in shock. Each ‘copy’ stood with no expression on their face and their eyes began to light up, turning into a pure white light. The copies stepped forward towards them and placed their index finger on each their foreheads. Each man blinked, and they were no longer in front of the copies. They were also no longer in the same courtyard.
