BTS To The Edge of The Sky: Plots & Twists of the Past

Seeing Through Lies Part 3

"That's right. You better listen to your leader boy. Or things will get ugly." Pri sighed as another man helped her stand back up, destroying the cuffs around her wrists to help her move more freely.

     "You know, it's kinda funny. I can freely control The Seven and they all know that. But for some reason..." she says, her eyes falling over Jax. "...I couldn't control The Eighth. I've tried numerous times, Jaxafron never seemed to bow down to my will. She's a rebel because of that. But she still decides to join my side every now and then... And unfortunately for you, one of those times, is now."

     You lift your head but your surroundings were too blurry and you had to hold your head as you felt a wave of dizziness hit you. Pri approached you and knelt before your form. You lift your head just enough to see the grin on her face. "Oh dear Seven, it is quite a shame that you've decided to join with them. But oh well, it was your choice, and you'll die alongside them all."

     She simply said, and you felt Pri pull you roughly from Jaxafron and you were soon pulled up from the ground. Your breathe hitched and you grab onto the hand that held your neck.

"Aww she's losing air. Hm what should I do? Huh Nine? You're the leader what should I do?"

     You could hear the sarcasm in her voice. You tried to pry her off, but your grip was only growing weaker by the second. "Hahahah! Look at her, she's turning pale! Why the hell aren't you doing anything to help her, Namjoon?" Her emphasis on his real name made him frown more than he already has.

"Let her go." Was his simple answer.

     Pri laughed loudly but she stopped when she saw the look on Nine's face. He looked so serious and ready as if he was about to kill someone. And right now, that someone, was Pri.

     "Let her go." He repeated, "And there won't be any bloodshed. Hurt her even the slightest, and I swear, you wouldn't like the other side of me."

     Your vision faltered, you knew that in only a few more seconds, you'd go unconscious. Pri's grip on your neck wasn't even weakening, it only felt like it was getting tighter and harder to breathe.

"That's bullshit, Nine. You know I wo—UKGH!!"

     Your body fell to the ground and you didn't even have the strength to turn and see what just happened. Well what did happen?

     Nine and the whole team stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. And when you were able to turn your head, even you couldn't believe what you were seeing.

Jaxafron was fighting High Priestess.

NINE'S POV

     This is as confusing as to why Three hyung acts so motherly even though he's a male. Jaxafron's.... on our side now?

     Just a second ago, she was holding on One, her arms twisted behind her. Then before I even comprehended it, she went for Priestess, punching her face, turning, and landing a kick to her stomach. A combination that was quite... familiar to me. I glanced at Four, even he was surprised. And I knew he knew about the combo as well.

     While the two were busy fighting, I knocked my head back, hitting the guy who held my arms. Once his grip loosened, I went for the guy holding Five and Eight. Gladly enough, I was able to knock the men down and Six and Four immediately followed. Four fired at the man who held him right when he got a good view. Six was standing by his side a second later as he stared at the man who had previously been twisting his wrists.

     Four went over with One and got the two guys off of Zero. The poor kid's jaw was bleeding. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked Seven as I approached her form. I helped her sit up as she held her head. "I-ugh.... shit..."
