Hi. 
                          
The feast is a lavish affair and I have had blood warriors approaching all night to offer their congratulations on our son. Jungkook sits on a separate bench next to me, conversing with his three closest booldwarriors. Jin hyung chatters happily beside me and Namjoon hyung stands behind us with a goblet of food. I look over and catch my lord's eyes. Jin hyung continues to talk and I nod here and there only half listening. I blow jungkook a small kiss and he smiles, his eyes shinning with love. Jungkook rips a piece of meat with his teeth and chews slowly. His lips shine and I crave to taste him. I imagine doing all sorts of dirty things to him with my mouth and I blush. Jungkook smirks at me as if reading my thoughts. I shies away from him and turn to jin hyung. 
                          
"I have to relieve myself. Will you come with me?" Jin hyung nods and sets his plate down on the wood table and wipes his hands on the cloth placed as a tissue. He takes my hand and helps me to my feet. Namjoon hyung sets his goblet down and follows us. I stop beside jungkook to tell him where I am going.
                          
"I have need to relieve myself. I will be back." Jungkook pulls my face down and I kiss him softly on the lips.
                          
"Return soon my love. " I smile and rub my thumb across his cheek. I motion for jin and namjoon to follow me and we walk out of the tent.
                          
...
                          
I sigh with relief when my bladder is empty. Ever since getting pregnant I've had to take more frequent breaks. I pull up my skirt and tie the cords together. My stomach has grown larger over the past few weeks and the swell hangs out of the leather vest I wear. I also took the sleeves off as I have got overheated. Jin hyung waits on the other side of the bush for me, namjoon hyung standing guard beside him. I smile at them both and I realize to late that something is wrong. A shadow descends on Namjoon and bashes him in the back of the head with a rock. He grunts and tumbles to the ground, unconscious. Jin hyung screams and rushes for him. Another shadow jumps out and grabs him. He tries to scream again before his capture covers his mouth and places a blade at his throat. Someone grabs me from behind and twists my arms behind my back. Jin hyung watches me with terrified eyes. He looks down at namjoon and tears run down his cheeks. I try to thrash but my capture just pulls tighter. My shoulders scream in protest and I hiss in pain.
                          
"Who are you? What do you want?" The shadows remain silent. I open my mouth to try again when another figure emerges. He pulls the hood off his head and my blood boils in my veins.
                          
"Hello dear brother." Bogum smiles at me, malice shinning in his dark eyes.
                          
"Bogum. What are you doing here?" I sneer at him and he chuckles.
                          
"Why tae I am here for you. I'm going to take you with me and ransom you back to your damned horse lord." The blood rushes in my ears and I feel dizzy. I look over at jin hyung nd he trembles.
                          
"I'll never go with you bogum. You will never leave here alive." I snarl at him and he chuckles once more. The shadow holding me wrenches my arms and I cry out in pain. My shoulders burn and I suspect one more good twist and they will dislocate.
                          
"I planned to have my sweet way with you tae before I ransomed you, but you seem rather large these days." bogum reaches down and touches the bare skin of my stomach. Bile rises in my throat and I clench my teeth. Bogum snaps his fingers and the shadow pulls my arms around. Bogum ties my arms in front of me. I look over at jin hyung and he watches me with wide frightened eyes.
                          
"You try to scream little brother and I will slice the babe from your stomach here and now." My lip curls in a sneer. I can't show him how terrified I am. Bogum snaps his fingers again and the other shadow moves in front of jin hyung.
                          
"Kill him." My blood turns to ice in my veins and I plead to bogum.
                          
"No! Please bogum! I'll go with you." Bogum holds out his hand, stopping the knife about to end jin's life. Bogum cocks his head at me, assessing if I am being honest.
                          
"You will not put up a fight?" With a heavy heart I nod my consent and bogum waves his hand. The shadow lowers the blade and instead strikes him across the back of him head. Jin hyung slumps to the ground and I have to look away.
                          
"Tie them up. We must be going." Bogum snaps his fingers and the shadow lifts me and tosses me on the horse. My shoulders ache and I feel like weeping but I know I have to be strong. I look back at jin and namjoon hyung and I have to fight the urge to scream for help. I know if I do that jaehyun will die as surely as will jin and Namjoon. I cup my swell and pray for jungkook to find us. Bogum spurs his horse to a run and I watch as we get further and further from ancestral tomb.
