(Oh.....FERN!)

Rose quickly darted to the nearest pillar, hiding behind it. She was barely fats enough before she heard the bullet hit the ground. She sighed quietly, darting to the door and to the nearest dark room. She moved cautiously until she ducked behind a wall and reached to her neck instinctively for Caden's cross. Nothing. She double checked, reaching all along her collarbone and neck in panic. Shit. She thought, dropping her arms. In truth, she was terrified and wanted the old Caden back. The happy, practicing football in the backyrad, working out, cheerful Caden. Not this. This she was pissed at and wanted to kill

"Rose?Why are you hiding?Come out come out wherever you are...."He called,reloading the gun and looking everywhere

~~~

"No need to thank me.Just took a look at whats going on in that lung.The metal thing.You make it?" The man asked,jabbing a blade into his side.Caden winced and groaned,realizing he was wide awake,strapped to a random table,is having a flat out surgery,and he was not dead?

Rose didn't dare look around the corner. She felt around for some weapon, anything that would do damage. She felt shards of glass and cut her hand with a quiet wince. She picked up a different piece before setting it down from lack of use. She felt around some more until she felt something wet. Gasoline. She checked everywhere within her reach for a lighter or match. Something. No dice. She cussed under her breath, the room nearly pitch black now. She peeked around the corner and saw an empty gun lying on the ground with dust and dirt on it. It probably doesn't even work, but it's my best bet. She slinked near the wall toward the gun, reaching out silently and picking it up before darting back to her hiding spot

"Rose,just revealed where you are!" He roared,running to behind the pillarmgun going off.

Caden woke up in a cell,gagged,of course.He stood up and walked out hearing the commotion. "Jarvis?" He asks,tapping his ear. "H-Hello S-S-Sir.How can I-I help you t-today?' "Find Rose."

She darted out of the room, playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek-tag, and looked around for a new weapon. She couldn't see anything. She heard a shot ring out and a slice appear on her leg. Shit. She looked around frantically before settling for just stand/leaning against a pillar. Now he has a fucking blood trail to follow. Great. I'm dead. She instictivlly felt around her neck for Caden's cross before remembering it hadn't been there when she last looked

"Ha!Good luck liv-" The man was cut off as Caden came in and ripped the gun from his hands,beating him in the head with it,sending him down.Caden stared at the unconscious man for a minute,sweat devoloping from running.He looked at Rose,fear in his eyes.Caden dashed forward,scooping up Rose and darting into the other room,using Jarvis as his north star. "Hey,we're going to be alright.Don't ask.It's a long story."

"What the-" Rose said before she was scooped up. She read Caden's face before fear crashed over her. She spun out of Caden's hold, dropping to the ground. "What the fuck is going on? You just tried to kill me!" She said, backing up slowly.

"What?I was?" Caden looked down at the unconscoius man. "I did'nt try to kill you?i have'nt seen you since we were tazed?I woke up just now and got stabbed with a scalpel with no anethsia or anything?Look,I have my cross.Boom baby,it's me." He says,pulling the cross out of his shirt. "Look,boom.Sleeve is still there.Bullet holes on my thigh?Boom.Right there." He says,desperate.

"Wait, so that wasn't you who just tried to shoot me? Who threw glass at me? Who i've been pissed at for the last 4 days?!" She asked, confused but approaching Caden

"Girl I've been fighting for life for the past four days FUCK NO IT WAS'NT ME." He says,wrapping her in a hug,not wanting to let go. "I don't know how they held me there this whole time but nuts and volts here is'nt going to stay half-dead forever.We need to move,now."
