Dreaming Feelings

Never escape

Sebastian held his gun at the hooded mans face. Joseph was laying on the ground by his feet, unconscious and bleeding badly. Sebastian was trying hugs best to keep himself and his partner alive, but it wasn't working too well. Ruvik glared at his gun and it flew out of his hand, smashing into a wall. "Damn it. What do you want?"

"You cannot trap me here." The ground shook and Sebastian reached down for Joseph, almost by instinct. The ground stopped and Ruvik smirked. "But I can trap you here. You and your... Partner."

"What are you saying?" Sebastian stood defensively. "Im stuck here with you?"

"I can keep you here for as long as I want." Sebastian grit his teeth and pulled out a small pistol, shooting at Ruvik in the head.

"You're treating us like playthings! Damn it! Why?!"

"I was always a fan of watching reactions that my patients made to certain things. You're no different."

"We're going to find a way out."

"Who? You and Joseph? That other girl. Yeah right. If I can't escape my own creation, why do you think you could? I can keep you and Joseph together in here... You will never escape." The entire room tilted to the side, making Sebastian and Joseph fly through the wall and into another building. Sebastian hit his head against the wall, and blacked out.

"Sebastian!.... Damn it, he's not waking... Sebastian!" Joseph?

"He's been out for awhile." Kidman? Sebastian felt himself being shaken, and he opened his eyes.

"Oh thank god. Sebastian, you're up." Sebastian sat up and held his head. "You've been out forever." Joseph knelt down by him. "You feeling okay?"

"Yeah... My head hurts." Obviously. He shook his head and looked at Joseph and Kidman. "When did she show up?"

"Not too long ago. I told her you've been out for a long time. she decided to stay and keep watch." Sebasitan nodded and tried standing up, stumbling to his feet and holding onto Joseph for balance.

"Easy there Seb."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me... I'm fine." Sebastian felt his head for any blood leaking out, and when he didn't feel any he stood up straight. "In this place, you'll go through a lot worse."

"Unfortunately, I think that small bump is the least of our problems." Kidman held her gun out. "I can see some of them coming this way. Probably heard Joseph shouting at you."

"Then lets go. I'm fine and awake now." Sebastian looked around to find out where they were. "This damn place. Where are we?"

"In a small town." She pointed in the distance. "The beacons over there. Not too far away. We should head there."

"Alright. If we get separated, that'll be our meeting point." Joseph pulled out his small notebook and wrote a few things down. "It seems though, we haven't been anywhere close to it. Going there, there may be more of those things." Sebastian shrugged and began walking, Joseph and Kidman behind him. "Best bet is to stick together."

"Well, I'm not sure how possible that'll be." Kidman muttered under her breath. "Has anyone seen the doctor, or Leslie lately?"

"No, but before we were here, Joseph and I ran into Ruvik. He said something about keeping us locked up here forever."

"Well, I'm not sure how much 'forever' I can stand." Kidman smirked. "I can only take so much of you two at one time."

"This is no time to joke around Kid." Sebastian glared at her. "We need to find out how to get out. The beacon is the best bet so far, center of town and all. Let's not get distracted."

"Sebastian! Joseph! Look out!" Sebastian felt the ground crumble beneath his feet, and he began to run. His legs pumping below him. Joseph was a few steps ahead of him when he noticed a gape in the ground. The ground shifted again and he lost his balance. Sebsatian ran faster, and grabbed Joseph, leaping over the gape in the ground and slipping, then falling and dropping his partner. He looked behind him to see Kidman stopped in her tracks by a few monsters.

"Kidman!"

"I'll be alright! You two, keep going. I'll meet you up there as soon as I can." She fired a few shots at the things to get their attention, then ran off away from Joseph and Sebastian.

"Damn it Kid." Sebastian sighed and looked at Joseph.

"She's tough, a newbie but tough, she'll be okay. Let's just keep going. Our only hope is getting to cover and safety." Joseph checked the gun in his pocket for any damage from the fall he took. "Thanks for saving me though." Sebastian nodded.

"I thought Kidman could make it across herself."

"But I couldn't?"

"Not what I meant. She was behind me. If she was in front of me, I'd have saved her too."

"Right..." Joseph sighed, took his glasses off to clean them, and put them back on. Sebastian waited for him to finish cleaning before cocking his head and began walking again.
