(Night!)
Rowan quietly took in her new surroundings after Armand left her. She was tired, but more confused than anything. Although she wasn't aware of it, the morphine in her system was what was making her so calm. Rowan managed to stand up and limp her way over to the soft bed. There was a dull pain in her leg, but it mostly felt numb. She curled up on the bed as comfortably as possible and drifted off to sleep.
As soon as Nyir and Kodiak left the room as well, Yuki slipped out. She shook Rowan awake. “I’m here to get you out.”, she told her as she awoke.
"Huh? Yuri?" Rowan looked up at her drowsily. "I can't walk." She gestured to the blood soaked bandage around her foot. "There was thus doctor guy. Said he was gonna get me a pros… prosthetic." Rowan told Yuki, still dazed and confused.
“I’ll carry you. I’ll take you to doctor for rebels. Please, you can’t trust this guy.” Desperation was shown on her face. “I don’t want you to go through anything, because I know what it’s like, being here.”
"Are we gonna get Petree too?" Rowan sat up and grabbed onto Yuki for support. "And where's Kodiak?" She added, looking around for anyone else in the shadows of the room.
“Yes we are going to get Petree.”, Yuki answered. “And I don’t know where Kodiak is, but we can get him later. He’s doing fine here and it’s good to have someone helping us from the inside. It will be helpful in the long run, because they trust him.”
Rowan nodded, trying to stifle another yawn. She could feel her eyes starting to shut, but she strained to keep them open. "You're sure that Armand guy is bad? He seemed nice." Rowan asked tiredly, scooting herself towards the edge of the warm bed. She looked up at Yuki again, needing help to stand.
Yuki turned around for Rowan to step onto her back. She helped her up and walked to where Petree was locked up. She took a deep breath and started to pull apart the bars of the cell. It was a challenge and her face was turning a little red, but she knew she could do it. Finally the bars of cell were wide enough for Petree to slip through. “Come on.”, she told Petree.
"Whoa…" Rowan looked at Yuki in awe. "I didn't know you could do that!" She gasped loudly before excitedly waving at Petree to join them.
“I lift weights in my free time”, Yuki said. “It can really help in a fight or a situation like this.” Yuki carried Rowan out of the building and watched as Petree followed them.
Rowan was nodding off in Yuki's arms, but she awoke a bit once fresh air hit her face. "Are you sure we can just… walk out? Seems weird to me."
“I had to bust through the door.” Yuki replied. “All other security systems I brought down before I got you. We’d better hurry though, they’ll figure out soon enough what has happened.”
Rowan nodded, wincing slightly as her leg started to throb. The morphine was beginning to wear off. She bit down on her lip to keep herself from showing she was in pain. "Let's hurry." She muttered.
“Sounds good to me.”, Yuki said, relived. “You wouldn’t mind if I ran”, she asked Rowan.
"Whatever gets us out of here fastest." Rowan lied. She braced herself. This was going to be painful, but if what Yuki said was true then it had to happen. For everyone's safety.
Yuki started to sprint. She sprinted as smoothly as she could for Rowan. “Make sure to keep up.”, she told Petree.
Petree was tired. But she knew she had to get through this to save the "freaks", including herself. Looking at Rowan made her feel a bit better.
"Where to?" she asked Yuki.
“There’s a secret clinic for rebels that isn’t too far away. We need to bring Rowan there.”, Yuki said.
"Alright." Petree agreed. "Hey, what's this?"
She picked up a bottle labeled… heoling poition… agh… her dyslexia was making it a problem to read… haoling potion- healing potion!
"Give this to Rowan, Yuki!"
When the liquid touched Rowan's lips, her entire mouth went purple. Like she had frostbite. Her heart stopped beating.
"Petree, that said 'Heated Poison'!" Yuki screamed.
Rowan' head lolled to the side as she started to lose consciousness again. She was fighting it, but the poison was coursing throughout her body. She shut her eyes, keeping them open was wasting too much energy. Rowan let out one last gargled cry for help.
"I'm so sorry!" Petree screamed.
(gotta go, sorry)
