Chapter 10

*20 minutes later*

"Hey, come on, we have to go." Dan gasped, pushing Phil gently away from him. "Security is going to be here any minute."

Dan stood and pulled his shirt back on, extending a hand for Phil to take. 

"But-"

"No arguments." Dan smiled, pulling Phil to his feet. "Let's slip out the back, you know where?"

"Yeah but there'll be guards and-"

"Oh stop worrying, we'll be FINE." Dan rolled his eyes playfully and pulled Phil to the door.

"Are you su-"

"Yes."

Dan threw open the door and stepped out, squeezing Phil's hand and starting quietly towards the back of the asylum. Dan had noticed a map on the way to the punishment chamber, and figured they were somewhere near the south-west corner. Only a couple hallways until a small hidden entrance they had passed walking to the front entrance with Tyler. Maybe this wouldn't be too hard after all.

He lead the way through two soft gray hallways, glancing around every corner before tiptoeing through them, Phil close behind. They're palms were sweating against each other's, breaths slowly becoming heavier and louder the more their hearts pounded. Too much anxiety.

"Almost there." Dan smiled weakly back at his boyfriend, who just returned the gesture with even less confidence. They had barley any weapons to defend themselves if there happened to be a guard around, and the past half hour had left them both drained, physically and mentally.

They could see the entrance from the corner they had just turned, and relief filled them both. This hadn't been too hard! 

Phil traced a gentle thumb along Dan's jaw, smiling fondly and glancing back at the door. "I knew you could do it."

"Oh shush, come on." Dan laughed, once again pulling Phil along. "We don't have all day."

As they neared the entrance something in the air changed, thick and sweat smelling. Phil glanced at Dan, whose brows were furrowed and eyes full of concern. "What's going on?"

Dan pulled out a switchblade from his back pocket. 

"Where did you get THAT?"

"Nowhere, now shush." 

Phil shrugged and glanced around, lump slowly growing in this throat. "Dan, I don't think we're alo-"

Dan spun around, the blade slicing through the air right above Phil's head. A body softly thumped onto the ground and Phil could see blood starting to pool around the man as Dan grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the door and into the blinding day. They both had to shield their eyes from the sunlight, then bolted down the side of the building. Dan seemed to have the place mapped out, he was guiding them through little buildings and fences, through bushes and past guards. 

Dan could see the exit gate just across a wide grassy yard, but there was one small problem.

There were guards on every corner.

Dan cursed under his breath, while Phil merely smiled. "I'm up for a challenge."

"What are you talking abou-"

But Phil had already shot out of the brush, skipping towards one of the guards with their back turned. Phil grabbed the man's neck and twisted, a loud crack echoing. Phil just giggled and smiled broadly.

"Shit." Dan mumbled, glancing up at Phil, in the open range of fire. "This isn't going to end well."

A/N:

I'm dying

Okay, I'm sorry I haven't updated in like ever and it's so short, just motivation is not with me and I've been really busy.

I started another fic that I'm going to publish after I finish my Pastel x Punk fic, which will not be much longer at all. Only like 4-5 more chapters in that one.

This probably would have been longer if I hadn't been procrastinating by talking to twoski2 and moonlightatday on Skype -- oops. Dirty sinners making me lose focus I h8 u.

But I will try to update more often, even though I never actually do it. I'm about as consistent as Dan's uploading schedule.

I love you all, even though it may not seem like it right now, sORRY.
