---Sabo---

They took her away.

Kid took her away from him, and he was to delirious to figure out where they went. Sabo shuddered and coughed violently in the little dark room they threw him into. He remembered the look of horror on her face as the door shut.

Were they going to hurt her...?

No! He pushes himself up off the floor and looks over at the door they threw him through. He let out a weak whine, trying to call out to you, but it was impossible. Tears start to build up, he felt so weak, everything hurt, but now they might hurt you too!

He stands up slowly and stumbles to the door.

'Open please..!' He begs in his head, the world spins a bit and he collapses to the floor. He squeezes his eyes shut, he can't help you...

He thinks back to the ride here, he faded in and out of consciousness, trying to listen to what was going on.

You help him in your lap, holding him protectively to your chest as you glared at the blond wearing a mask beside you. You pat Sabo's back gently, this was one of the moments he fell asleep. When he woke up you were crying, tears streaming down your cheeks. When you noticed him watching you you gave him a weak smile, your lips tremble a bit. His eyes widen and he opens his mouth to say something but you shake your head and put a finger to his lips. You glanced beside you and he follows your line of sight. The man with the mask was facing away from the two of you, but you could feel his gaze. Looking behind him he see's Kid smirking at you and Sabo scowls at him, but he is far to weak to do much else.

He is startled out of his thoughts when the door opens, pushing against him. It stops and someone enters, Sabo looks over at the figure, but his vision blurs and goes black, and sleep takes over.

He wakes up again a few hours later, but this time he was on a dirty mat. A thin dirty blanket covers him, it's not much but it's better than it was before. Sabo looks over and notices the man in the blue and white mask. He walks over to Sabo and hands him a small cup filled with a cherry red liquid.

“Medicine.” He says plainly as Sabo stares at the cup skeptically.

“She asked me to give you some, well...begged actually..” The masked man says, turning away from the boy.

“Even when she's being beaten as much as she is...she is still worried about you...” He says quietly, Sabo's eyes widen and he almost drops the cup. Killer walks away from the boy and before he leaves the room he looks back at the boy, although Sabo couldn't see his eyes he could feel his gaze.

“Take it...because I won't be doing her another favor.” He says smoothly before exiting the room, the door closed behind him with a click.

Sabo paused for a moment, looking down at the cup in his hand. They're hurting her...but she still begged them to get medicine for him...

He takes it, it tasted terrible, the medicine tasted faintly of cherries, but was very bitter and it almost made him throw it all back up. He forces it to stay down and glares at the door, tears build up in his eyes. She is getting hurt.

He thinks back to earlier, the red head had made her cry, what did he say? Sabo stands up, he was a bit steadier after his nap, but the world still spun around him. His fever sucked all the energy from him, he didn't use it often but he brought forth his flames and the door burned away in front of him. There were startled yells coming from the hall, but he didn't care.

Where did they keep you?

The hall caught fire and everyone nearby ran away from the flames. Sabo glanced at the fire around him, he didn't use it only because Ace got in trouble because of it. And not really wanting to get in trouble to he tried to avoid it.

But right now he was angry, and also in danger.

He was close to fainting again, but right now everything was on fire. Normally that isn't a problem, but he can't turn into fire if he isn't awake. So if he faints, then just like everyone else, he will burn too.

He stumbles a bit, the world blurring together, the smell of smoke took over. His power stutters a bit and his leg catches fire, he screams as his skin starts to burn, a burning piece of wood smacks him on the right side of his face. He screeches and brushes it away, his right eye burned.

He pushes forward, gaining control of his powers again as he pushes through the flames. He needed to find you, but where did they take you?

He stumbles a bit as he enters a large open room that the hall was attached to. The room was already burning, and anyone with any common sense has already left the building.

“(Name)..” He calls out weakly, moving into the center of the room, did they take you our too? Kid seemed to want to keep you...so maybe you were already outside?

Before he can do much else the world blurs again, the room turns black and he falls to the ground as the flames overtake the room.

In his dream he finds you, a small smile graces his lips.
