Into The Woods

I Love You

Amelia frowned. Amelia looked at the confident man.

  The guard smirked, which only angered Amelia more. She noticed the keys attached to his hip.

    Amelia sighed, and used the handle to bash the guards head. The guard hit the wall and slowly fell onto the floor.

  Amelia grabbed the keys and quickly returned to the door. She heard boots pound on the ground a few hallways away.

  She finally unlocked the door after a few failled attempts, due to the amount of keys she had to try.

   Amelia halted, and still had a grip on the handle. She was in awe of the untouched Darren.

  Amelia realized that Lacey was only sending someone to beat her.

  It didn't make sense, "Wouldn't another person be beaten?" she thought aloud.

   Amelia quickly helped Darren untie the rope. Darren rubbed his wrist, "They'll pay for this."

   Amelia nodded. She quickly peeked around the door, and saw some people pass at the end of the hallway. "We're clear!" she quietly exclaimed.

  Darren followed behind to the nearest door. She scrambled to open it. After finding the correct key, she opened it and saw a beaten Blade.

  "Blade!" Amelia cried out. She kneeled on her knees beside him. He spit out some blood.

   He smiled, "Hey there, Scared Cat."

   Amelia's tears slowly fell down her cheek, "Why'd you come for me?"

  Blade's dry throat barely released sounds, but he replied, "What can I say, you've grown on me."

   Amelia laughed as the tears fell. Darren was keeping watch at the door.

  Darren frowned, "Sorry to break up this tender moment, but we better go."

   Blade's vision returned, and he saw Amelia was beaten as well.

  His hands were freed, and he raised one up. He traced her face with his finger, "Are you okay?"

   Amelia put her hand onto his, "Remember? This cat has some claws."

   Blade was finally cut free and they all made their way down the hall. It was like a maze. Lacey blasted throughout the speaker, "You won't last long."

  Suddenly, guards started coming head on.

  Amelia halted. Darren flicked his hand, "Run! I'll hold them off!"

  Blade gripped Amelia's wrist, "Are you sure?"

  Darren nodded. Amelia thanked him, but Blade took off with her in tow.
 
   Blade heard some guards, and tugged Amelia into a dark closet.

  Blade hushed Amelia, as she was breathing heavily. Amelia scowled, "Sorry," she whispered, "if my breathing bothers you."

  Blade frowned, "We can't be heard."

  Some guards passed. One stopped near the closet door.

  Amelia asked, "What time is it?"

  Blade looked over, "12:00 am, why?"

   Amelia grabbed his hand, "If we are still alive at one, I'll kiss you."

  Blade smiled. Amelia tiled her head, "What?"

  He replied, "I found a reason to make it out."

  Amelia hugged him, "I love you."

   He hugged her back, "I love you."

  The guard walked on past the closet. Blade opened the door, "Okay, come on."
