It had to be an hour before Evie opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry as she looked around to see where she was. It looked to be a separate room in the tunnel. She then remembered why she was there and opened her eyes all the way and squirmed. She was in a chair tied up. Henry was still out cold.
Soon a Blighter came into the room
“Well well well…if it isn’t the great Miss Frye.” The Blighter said mocking her.
Evie spitted at the Blighter “What do you want from us?” She asked. She was ticked off
“We need you to stop trying to save your brother” the Blighter said coldly.
"And I'll be the one to drive a knife in your head" she responded just as coldly as he did.
The Blighter scoffed then left the room. Evie was then left in silence.Soon after the Blighter left, Henry woke up with a groan. Evie looked over at him
"Henry are you alright?" She asked him
"Y..yeah...im fine" he said as he massaged his temples.
Evie nodded then began to look around to find something to cut the rope that held her in place. She squirmed lightly as she did. She saw her gear was on the other side of the room. She then gave an annoyed and reluctant look before she looked at Henry.
"I hope you're not squeamish" she said to him before she twisted, she closed her eyes tightly before she heard a pop. She bared her teeth and groaned slightly as she was able to slip one hand out of her restraints. She gave a pained expression once it was free then grabbed the corner of the chair with her dislocated wrist and pulled till she heard a pop. She then sighed in relief once it was in place once again. She then untied the rope holding her other hand then stood up.Henry watched the whole ordeal with half lidded eyes and a wince "why???" He said as she walked up to him.
"It was my way to get out" she said chuckling lightly at his reaction.
He gave an unsure look before nodding. Evie untied the ropes holding him then walked over to grab her gear. "you know, sometimes these Blighters are-" her eyes went wide as she frantically searched the pile of gear
"No..no...agh" she said realizing that her Gauntlet was missing....
----------------------
((Jacob))Jacob had been sleeping most of the time, occasionally waki from his fever and sometimes getting no sleep at all from his bones aching from the fever.
He had woken up and looked around through blurry and half lidded eyes. He was pale, weak... dying.
"N.. Nightingale?~" he called out through a raspy voice.A nurse was walking by when she heard him. She then rushed down found Nightingale
"Ma'am?" The nurse said to her.
"What is it, Anna?" Nightingale asked.
"It's about Jacob, he's looking for you" she said to her.
Nightingale nodded and headed upstairs.She approached Jacob's room and walks in. She gave a saddened smile as she looked at Jacob's condition.
Jacob smiled seeing Nightingale "w... where's Evie?" He asked her.
"I don't know...all I know is that she's working hard to find that cure.." she replied as she came to his side.
He only nodded before coughing. He swallowed hard before he looked at Nightingale.
"W..what if she can't find it?" He asked her
"Jacob you know sh-"
"What will happen to me?" He asked her.
Nightingale couldn't answer. She looked away.
Jacob then looked down. His life was if in Evie's hands. He hoped she would find the cure soon.
--------------------------
(( Evie and Henry))Evie had managed to find the idiot that was trying to figure out her gauntlet.
"How does this thing work?!" He said in frustration.
He did nothing except being able to fire off the poison dart that sat atop the gauntlet.
Evie huffed and rolled her eyes before she snuck up on him from behind. She jumped and tackled him, using her kukiri to stab him behind the neck. The Blighter only made a light gasp before collapsing to the floor, dying Instantly."HEY! HOW DID YOU GET OUT?!" a Blighter said seeing the other one die.
Evie quickly grabbed the gauntlet off of the now dead blighter's wrist and stood up. She then activated her hidden blade and ran after him and attacked him.
Henry then saw two more Blighters that came to his aid. Henry attacked them before they could reach Evie.
Evie had managed to stab the Blighter she was attacking before she spun and saw Henry was attacking two. She ran up to the fight and attacked one of them, slashing at one of their arms. The Blighter screamed in response and
Left hooked Evie in the face.
She stumbled back and held her nose a moment before stabbing the Blighter In the chest. He gasped and fell to the floor. Henry killed the other Blighter.
The room was silent. All the Blighters were dead.
Evie then looked at Henry before she began to search through the boxes to find the cure.
Henry watched her.
"Evie...what if there is no cure-"
"Then my brother dies" she said quickly. She then looked away and continued to search.
Henry fell silent and looked as well through the boxes.Finally she found a box that had a symbol that could resemble a cure. She then frantically opened it up. Sure enough, it was the cure....but it was only ingredients and not the finished product. Evies joy turned to fear when she saw that.
"We need to take this box" she said to Henry. "It has the cure, but it's not finished" she then closed the box back up and began to carry it off. Henry followed close behind her as she walked as quickly as possible to get out of here.Once out, Henry grabbed a carriage. Evie loaded up the box and they both sped away. There was still hope now that Jacob will survive.
Smack!!
A Blighter carriage was after them. It slammed into their carriage, causing Henry to swerve it almost off the road. Evie quickly jumped to the roof. They were going to have to fight them off before they could reach Jacob.
"Get them off us Evie!!" Henry said. Some of the contents inside the crate was fragile. Too much damage, and the cure would be lost.
Evie pulled her pistol and began to fire at them. The Blighters returned that action and began to fire back. Henry was busy avoided the carriage while making sure to not hit anyone.
Evie stumbled slightly when they rounded the corner. A Blighter took that chance and managed to cut Evie's shoulder with a bullet. She winced and kept fighting. She then jumped from one carriage to another
"GET THE CRATE SAFE, HENRY!!" she said to him
Henry had no choice but to leave while he could. Evie then pulled her gun and shot the connection holding the horse to the carriage. The horses sped away, leaving the carriage to roll on its own. The reins caught the wheels and the wood struck the ground causing the carriage to flip. Evie jumped before it happened, having her roll on the ground when she hit. The carriage was sent flying over her head before it landed inches from her head and tumbled a few feet more. Evie then stumbled up. Bloodied and bruised, she headed for the hospital. There were no carriages in sight for quite a while. "Well ...looks like I'm walking then.." she muttered before limping down the streets of London to the hospital. She could breathe for a moment knowing the carriage would make it to the hospital. For now, it was going to be a long walk.....(Hey everyone!!! Sorry this took forever to come out! I hope to be faster with the next chapter!!)
