"You fucking little—!" Silvius grunted upon impact with the floor after Nicolai had tackled him, his eyes flashing with irritation as they grappled with one another. "Get off of me!"

"How dare you!" Nicolai screeched in response. "How dare you try and kill her, you bastard!"

Silvius didn't answer him, instead elbowing Nicolai sharply in the face to roll around onto his stomach to try and reach the gun that had been knocked from his grip. He growled when Nicolai pulled him backward by his foot, wondering how the wounds he had weren't slowing him down.

"GAH!" He yelled when a sharp pain seared up his left leg, abruptly turning around to see the handle of a knife sticking up from his calf.

This little...

Scrabbling away from Nicolai who by then had staggered upward, looking more like an animal than anything, Silvius yanked the knife out of his leg with a grunt of pain. Quickly wrapping the now bleeding wound with a piece of his shirt that he ripped, he held up the bloody knife and faced Nicolai. He couldn't let him kill him, because that would mean that he and (Y/N) would never be one, would never rot in Hell for eternity together.

Nicolai would have her.

And Silvius couldn't stand that.

As the two continued to struggled, not knowing that the sound of the gunshot had actually drew people closer to the source rather than away, (Y/N) used that distraction to her advantage to try and free herself. It was by no easy means, having to bite her tongue to stop herself from crying whenever the ropes continued to rub against her raw wrists.

But she had to escape.

She couldn't stay here with these two obviously deranged boys since sooner or later, one of them was going to kill the other, and if Silvius came out victorious in that battle, she would then die.

I'm too young for that shit!

Holding the tears in, she almost let out a gasp when she was able to free her right hand, then undoing her left one and about to start on her ankles when the door to the dark room suddenly burst open. There, standing in the opening, was Valen and Jian. Their eyes swept the room from Nicolai and Silvius still on the floor to (Y/N) still tied up in the chair. While they hadn't arrived together and were by no means supportive of each other, they almost leaned against each other in exhaustion and in relief when seeing that she was safe.

But then that moment ended.

"The fuck are you doing here, Jian!?" Nicolai scowled at him, his knee digging into Silvius' arm while his hand was planted on his chest to prevent him from moving. "Get the hell out of here!"

"You too, Valen Tommie!" Silvius snapped, throwing Nicolai off of him and stomping toward the other boy. "How fucking dare—"

Nicolai tackled him to the floor again.

But even with Nicolai's added weight, Silvius continued to claw toward Valen, socking him right in the jaw and making a smirk fly across his lips. Nicolai, when seeing Jian so close, chose to abandon his attack on Silvius and instead aim for the thorn that had been in his side since he was a kid. (Y/N) swallowed thickly, slowly bending down whilst watching their every move to undo the bindings on her ankles.

Shit...

What is wrong with them!?

I need to get the fuck out of here before they notice what I am doing.

Shakily, she stood from the chair and creeped backward into the shadows, and no sooner when was she out of their peripheral vision, ripped off the gag to breathe in deeply. As she did so, a hand then slapped itself over her mouth to keep her quiet, her eyes widening when someone then shushed her in a hasty whisper.

She instantly recognized the voice.

Amar...

He's okay...

Gently lifting his hand from her lips, she turned around and embraced him tightly, not seeming to notice the way his heart sped up at the action. Pulling away, Amar then motioned for her to follow him, stealthily moving along the walls and blending in to the shadows so they could sneak by the still brawling boys who hadn't noticed a thing.

"How did you find me?" (Y/N) whispered lowly, Amar having to strain to hear her from how quietly she spoke.

"The gunshot," he answered.

"Silvius... he shot Nicolai. But he seems unaffected and he... he killed the headmaster."

"You— How do you know this?"

"He told me..." she said, once more placing a hand over her mouth to stifle her rather gasping breaths that meant she was going to cry again. "...he killed the headmaster since he was investigating me..."

Amar didn't say anything, but she could tell from the twitch in his brow that he wasn't pleased. Finally, they finally found another door to use not bathed in light that Valen and Jian had entered from—he too, however stealthily. Fumbling for the handles, he cursed under his breath when feeling the chain that locked them in.

"What is it?" (Y/N) whispered, placing a hand on his arm to feel the muscle straining.

"The door's locked," he mumbled as he pulled a bobby pin and pick from a nearby drawer. "I need to pick it."

"Can you do that?"

"I took a couple classes on it..."

Waiting nervously for Amar, glancing back at the others every so often, she let out a sigh of relief when he was able to pick the lock. But as they pulled the door open, a loud creak filled the space that instantly made them both stiffen. When they turned their heads, they locked eyes with all four boys.

"(Y/N)... run," Amar whispered before shoving her out the door and closing it behind her, leaving him inside to face everyone else.

"Wait, no!" She yelled, flinching when hearing something barge into the door.

"Go!"

With that, she ran.
