Escape

"Oh, thank goodness...you are okay Christian," Dominique says holding his hand, Christian is purposely not opening his other eye.

He lets out a loud sigh, "I haven't been caught yet." He says weakly, "It's okay."

"Can you move Christian?"Dominique asks, "What's wrong with your eye?"

Christian attempts to get up only to lay back down laughing staring up at the ceiling.

"I used too much of my power, but that was Gavyn's gift to you...to give your sanity back..."

He begins to cry again, "I will carry you on my back, we got to get out of here now!"

There is a knock on the door, Dominique jumps while Christian falls back to sleep.

"Dominique is there someone in there with you?" Alice questions, she doesn't give him time to respond when she pushes past him.

"Please let him rest!" Dominique argues, Christian opens his working eye trying to get up; Alice turns red realizing what happened.

"Are you both doing "it"?" Alice questions, "I mean you two are shirking for that?"

"I mean yes we're doing that!" Dominique replies covering for Christian pushing him back down taking his hand.

"I will cover for you Christian!" Alice answers back winking, she takes the vials in her pocket shifting them into Dominique's hands.

"Were we being too loud?" Dominique takes the vials setting them down, she only reddens more the more invasive it becomes.

"No, but you should keep it down so Mistress Avic doesn't hear it!" Alice says backing away almost tripping over nothing before running off.

Dominique shuts the door laughing, "There is no way we can stay here!"

"I can't even get up yet..."Christian says, Dominique shoves the vial in his face.

"Drink it, we're going after you settle...use your ability to save the others..."

"Fine, are you feeling okay now though Dominique?"

"I am fine now...thanks to you Christian."

Christian hands the vial to Dominique, "Please help me open this." He asks embarrassed recalling the memories where Alex couldn't.

Dominique pulls the plug out with his fangs, "Here you go, by chance you saw that particular memory where Alex first came?"

"I had seen everything...yes..."

"I see...I will use my blood magick and you will use your ability on my back."

"Gotcha, are you that fast?"

"Leave the running to me Christian, you just need to heal."

They eventually fall asleep together in the same bed till Christian sits up in the bed holding tight to the wound, it acts up throbbing.

He takes his shirt half off to find the wound is growing larger, he places the shirt back up around his shoulders.

Shaking Dominique awake, "Christian?" Dominique says turning the other way.

Christian gets up about to open the door when he realized someone was actually turning the knob, he retracts his hand, "You aren't really brainwashed..."

Avic clutches him by the hand, "No I am not, I am well aware." He replies still immobile; Christian tries to reverse.

Dominique swiftly wakes to hear another person, putting his arms around Christian's shoulders, "Avic...I am done being your puppet!"

There was no time for Dominique to have Christian get on his back, he lifts Christian into his arms, reaching for his finger biting into it.

"I see...then we will have to restrain you."

Dominique swings his hand out, a halo of blood whips from his fingertips; he jumps around Avic, "Hold on Christian!"

Avic throws her web out, the blood splashes to the ground; Dominique starts to worry, "You think you really can fight your master?"

"I am slightly unsure now, but I tried!" Dominique responds vaulting over Avic who only smiles as he gets away, they turn a sharp corner looking around.

"You got to be prepared to use your eye, Christian!"

"You don't think I don't know that?"

Dominique recalls how in the house he found her through a book, pondering he wonder how the lady in black even got to him, "Christian...we need to go home."

"Why are you saying this all a sudden?"

"My book...if we burn the book will she go away?"

"Hmm...we can test it, but how do we get out here?"

Dominique lays Christian on the ground, "I need you to get on my back first."

Christian locks his fingers around his neck, Dominique does a short run around making kicking motions in the air, "You sure are hyper Dominique."

"We got one chance, we can't blow this Christian!"
