Panther cackled "you have two other possible options if whom you want to rule beside."
Esmae was pretty quiet the whole time. Not because she gave up, but because she was thinking. There had to be a way to get out of these chairs. Getting the water out would be difficult, even close to impossible. If she broke her thumbs, there would be a chance she could get out of the restraints.
Katya looked over at Esmae, "Whatcha thinking?"
"Like hand cuffs, if you break your thumbs, one of us could make it out and help the others. The only problem is untieing everyone else, without the help of your thumbs it would be pretty difficult." Esmae was trying to see who would be the most skilled to actually pull this off. Nathan was small and could probably slip out the easiest, but untieing would probably be harder for him. "It's just an idea though."
Once Uriah turned off the wires, turning on his heels he started running. His arms gently wrapped his arms around Luna and buried his face in her shoulder. He missed her so much. "Thank God you're okay." His body was slightly shaking due to his lack of strength and the fear of losing Luna.
Luna leaned against Uriah trembling heavily. Her arms that had been wrapped around her torso wrapped around Uriah instead. She was trying to stay strong, but god was it hard. Her panic was finally easing up, but it was still heavily set despite her attempts to calm herself. She barely whispered out, "A-Are Sparrow a-and the k-k-kids okay?"
Katya shook her head, "Wouldn't that hurt though? I might be tall enough to just trigger it myself if I tried hard enough."
(I’m back!)
Cyrus scowled. “You… Why are you doing this? Why do you want me to take control? You berated me growing up for all of my shortcomings, and those ‘flaws’ you perceived have hardly changed!”
Cyrus took a swing at Panther with one of the crutches.
Vida woke up. Water was up to her chest. She flailed around and screamed bloody murder as she looked out to the others.
"I turned the wires off. But the kids are still in trouble." He tried hard, but his body gave out and he fell to the ground. "I'm sorry, I don't think I'm strong enough to help very much right now." Every cut, every burn, hurt right now. It was still hard for him to breathe even though he was out now. "Someone needs to go help Cy, and someone needs to help the kids." Sweat dripped down his face and his body felt hot. Damn, this isn't good. "I can't see clearly right now, but if there is anything I can do, just tell me."
"Shit Vida, calm down. I can't think with all your screaming." Right now all Esmae wanted was to cover her ears, but sadly she couldn't. "Freaking out only makes things worse."
Luna looked to Uriah, and he looked sick still. She was still in a flurry of panic, but she could manage on her own. She carefully managed to stand up trying to focus what energy she had into just making sure everyone made it out okay, "C-Can you g-go back t-to the ch-chamber? I-I think i-it'll help y-you, and th-that's all I-I want f-for you t-to do. I-I just g-got you b-back, I d-don't want t-to lose y-you again. P-Please."
Katya let out a sigh, "We're going to die. I'm going to die surrounded by the idiots I call friends."
Sparrow jumped over the wires and looked at the kids. "What if we break the glass?"
Another light turned to black and Panther grinned "looks like your little girlfriend lost too. It's now between the kids and your best mate."
Vida stopped screaming, but didn’t stop flailing. She clawed at the glass furiously, but it didn’t do anything.
Cyrus lunged forwards again, trying to strike Panther.
“I’m going to kill you!” He screamed, “You’re lying, you’re lying, you’re lying!”
He was panting.
"You're not going to lose me." Honestly Uriah was just pissed now. Standing he went over and grabbed the metal chair Luna was standing on. "I won't let that happen." With one spin he struck the glass braking it. "Panther is going to fucking die!" Esmae turned and saw that the glass was now broken. "Uriah!" She was extremely happy to see him. "Sparrow, get the note and go find Cyrus, we'll catch up." Uriah took Luna's hand in his. He was shaking and needed her to stay by his side.
"O-or that w-works," Luna said watching Uriah break the glass with the chair. She was glad he was back on there side and not under Panther's control. Very lightly she squeezed his hand and stayed close understanding he was still hurt and probably confused. To be honest, Luna didn't want him to leave her side either.
Katya looked over at where the glass had been broken, "Or maybe not."
The sound of glass was heard as Uriah walked closer to the kids. One at a time he got them out of the chair. Esmae being the last one. "Uriah, you're sweating really bad. You need to sit down and let us finish this." Concern filled her eyes. Just like Luna she didn't want to lose him. "You know I can't do that." He smiled. His hand gripped the side of the chair to keep him from falling over. "Okay we're all out." Pulling himself together he turned and smiled at Luna. "Time to go save our friend."
Luna nodded with a slight smile on. She was worried about him and the kids, but could do nothing to stop him. She just wanted to go back to the guild, their guild, "Y-Yeah. B-but afterwards y-your going t-to rest, o-okay? Y-your not i-in the b-best condition a-and the p-poison i-is probably s-still in y-your system."
Katya rubbed her wrists and a small flash back peaked in her mind as she made the motion, something she before she woke up in the van. Oh god, that was what her life was like?
"Whatever you say." Esmae stayed close to him, just in case. Sure she knew Luna could protect him, but if something happened she would be there as well. Uriah squeezed Luna's hand one more time, just to tell her he was fine and she wouldn't lose him.
Luna squeezed his hand back. Of course she was still going to worry about him. A few minutes ago he almost died, she almost died. Her body ached and didn't have as much energy as she would like. Honestly she didn't trust herself to much of anything, but she wasn't letting her friends down. Not again. Not in the same way.
Vida cried once she got out of the water, and she approached Uriah, trying to give him a hug.
“C-Cyrus?! We have to h-help him!”
She was in full-on tears by now.
Cyrus lunged forwards again, trying to strike Panther.
“I’m going to kill you!” He screamed, “You’re lying, you’re lying, you’re lying!”
He was panting.
Panther Shrugged "looks like she wasnt as strong as you though she wasn't as strong as you thought." He said and turned to the screen.
Sparrow nodded at Uriahs instructions and grabbed the coordinate envelope. Running outside the room, she put the coordinates in her wristband and followed the directions to a small building, about 15 kilometers away from the guild.
“So that leaves Uriah, huh?” Cyrus sighed sadly.
He was starting to become more fearful and sad than angry. Oh god, he was shaking so bad. About to start panicking again. He remembered Panther’s screaming at him when he was younger, while he was literally having panic attacks. As he got older, he was usually at least able to have them in private, but he was trapped this time.
Cyrus started breathing a little faster, the memories and also the panic of the moment taking over.
Panther smirked at his face and started walking towards the door. "I'll leave you to it then. Friends that lose arent worth keeping anyways. Control yourself and I'll come get you." He said
Luna watched as Sparrow began to sprint off to wherever they were. She walked over to see what the coordinates were, and dios was it far away. She wasn't sure if she and Uriah could make it that far, especially with her exhaustion and Uriah's symptoms. She looked at Uriah, she didn't want to loose him. But he wouldn't want her to go alone and she didn't want to leave him behind either. Luna would just have to forget her exhaustion, they needed to get the kids out and go help Cyrus. She took a gentle breath, "W-We need t-to get g-going if w-we want t-to help. I-It's a-a long w-way from here."
Sparrow tapped the comm device she gave Cyrus and Luna and checked if it worked. She realized she had a single active link and connected to it. "..Una? …hear….voice?" She spoke through the crackling noise
