She with The Flowers in Her Hair| Number Five

🌼CHAPTER 21: Death To A Lead🌼

Five Hargreeves was terribly concerned as Ellie had backed into her dazed state once more. He carefully guided her into the mansion, and up the stairs where they crossed paths with Allison and Luther who looked like they were going somewhere, but stopped in their tracks as they caught a glimpse of the obviously dishevelled teenagers. "Five? Ellie? What the hell happened to you?" Allison spoke from behind the brute that is Luther before the man could speak himself. "You guys okay?" He said, his eyes scanning their forms, then focusing on Ellie who didn't bother to look at them with her eyes glazed over. "Can we help?" he asked finally, his hand going to the young girl's shoulder only for Five to stop him. "There's nothing you can do. Nothing any of you could do." the boy sneered catching his brother off guard, before he went ahead guiding Ellie to his room.

Five sat the girl onto his bed, while doing so, he felt a sting on his arm but ignored it to continue seeing over Ellie. She was looking nowhere, her head lolling from side to side, Five stopping the movement with his hand. "Ellie, love. Come back to me hun. I'm here, come back to me." failing to wake her up, five proceeded to fix his other problem, taking out a first aid kit from his cupboard. He let out a hiss when the alcohol touched the wound, the sound of pain seemed to snap the girl out of her daze. Her eyes went to the boy that cleaned his bloody arm. "Five?" She whispered, catching his attention with the call of his name. "Did I daze off again?"

"Yeah, love. But only for a little while." He smiled, trying to comfort her.

"I'll do that." She said, already taking the cotton pad out of his hand and dabbing it on him. She took out a needle and sutures, closing up the wound, reaching over to the band-aids laughing as she saw that they had little trains drawn on them. She flattened the bandage gently, finishing up and then leaning over to plant a kiss on his lips, hugging him right after. "I know I've seen much worse, but seeing you in any hurt state isn't good Five." She spoke into his chest her voice muffled slighlty, Five patting her hair and placing a kiss on the pink flowers just under his nose. He broke away from the hug, putting on a fresh shirt, letting Ellie do his tie for him. Five walked towards the bag with Delores still in it as Ellie changed behind him. He could hear the shuffling, turning around to see his wife in a dress much like the one Allison had lent her, before it got ruined by the massacre they did at the diner. Five noticed the zipper still open, exposing her back to him. "Mind zipping me up?" this only mad him smile, placing himself behind the girl and zipping the dress closed, kissing her shoulder in the process. "Ready to go?"

The couple pushed Delores' bag out of the window first, Ellie followed and then Five. From below they could hear the Familiar voice of Klaus complaining about something to someone, only for them to discover that he was talking to himself. "I'd ask what you're up to Klaus, but it occurred to me... I don't care." The boy said in a bored manner as he helped Ellie get down, the girl shaking her head at his words. "Who were you talking to Klaus?" She asked the man, Klaus briefly looking up at something or someone before looking back at Ellie. "Oh you know, just one of my brothers Pix. Says he misses you." The girl's eyes widened, realizing that he was pertaining to Ben, her head looking towards the general direction Klaus looked to earlier. "I miss you too Ben. Hope Klaus isn't annoying you too much." She spoke out turning back to Klaus who acted hurt.

"You know, there are easier ways to get out of the house guys." he told the teens, now at the edge of the dumpster he was diving to see them better.

"This one, involved the least amount of talking. Or so we thought."

"Do you guys need any more company today? I could um... clear my schedule." Klaus asked as he swished a flask around before taking a sip.
