Darkness Descending

Chapter 14

WARNING THIS CHAPTER MENTIONS ABOUT BLOOD AND SOME VIOLENCE


About half a day passed when Sam started to stir opening his eyes to see the blurry outline of Harrison he blinked a couple of times before everything started to return to him. His vision started to clear as Harrison smiled slightly before he said:" welcome back Sam you gave us all a scare." Those cloudy cyan eyes slowly closed while Harrison said, carefully wiping a few drops of fresh blood when Sam's face contorted in pain "easy there just relax." After about a minute Sam opened his eyes as the white-haired man said:" Oliver and Richard are both asleep at the moment Destrian really did a number on you this time." Sam said, his voice was weak and barely above a whisper" one more day that's all it'll take I know you d-don't want to, but you need to go back to go to the other cell. Tell Destrian I haven't woken once since the last go he won't find it fun to attack someone unconscious tomorrow will be the last time I get taken to that room." A moment after he finished, the door opened before Sam quickly acted like he was still unconscious which startled Harrison by how real the act appeared to be standing so close.

Destrian walked up to the cell with a frown before he adjusted his glasses asking, as he glared at Harrison" why the hell are you in there? Guards why is he in there and why the hell is the fox not awake he shouldn't be able to even sleep with the pain I put him through?" He opened the cell while the guards put themselves between the cell door and Destrian as the noble went up he smacked the thief across the face getting nothing more than a small pathetic whine. He repeated the action three more times before he pulled out a canteen of water dumping it over Samuel's face. Destrian frowned his brow furrowing in annoyance before he sighed saying" damn fox is out cold let's go you two, Harrison was it, take care of it I don't want the damn thing to die this early." They took their leave without another word as soon as the door closed Sam let out a hiss of pain saying" damn that asshole knows how to hit." Harrison sighed before saying, as Richard started to wake up" Sam you should be a fox I was afraid they were going to find out." Richard got upright quickly ending up kicking Oliver in the process since the hazel-eyed man had fallen off his bed onto the floor. Oliver woke with a start before knocking Richard's feet away from him saying" watch where you're stepping I'm right here."

Richard said after yawning, with a bit of a guilty look" sorry about that kid didn't see you there hey Harrison how's Sam doing." "Why don't you ask him yourself however please do keep quiet they don't know that he's awake if that was the case he'd be gone right now," Harrison stated. Oliver bolted upright forcing Richard to fall back against the wall wincing as Ollie said, coming up to the bars of their cell with wide eyes" oh thank God you're alright." Richard said, getting up onto his feet rubbing the back of his head" good to see you're up you feeling better lad?" Sam was focusing on things not funny knowing if he so much as let out a chuckle he'd regret it more than anything. When he finally calmed down enough he spoke, his voice hadn't improved at all" I'll be fine Rich, Ollie sorry for scaring you. However, since the guards aren't paying attention now would be the best time to apologize for being somewhat cruel. So sorry for all just one more day then we'll all get out of here I swear, I'm going back to sleep I'll need all my strength tomorrow." With that Sam's eyes closed as he yawned after he was out cold once again Harrison said:" reminds me sorta how we met."

Oliver appeared to be curious so Richard said, grinning as he sat back down" the first time we met Sam he was more like a feral animal than a human. Most people would just mope around or sleep all the time however he was dragged in by the neck because he kept trying to attack every guard they passed. It was amusing watching the others pass by only to nearly be punched by Sam getting cursed out it scared the hell out of most. He actually punched Harrison in the face when I accidentally bumped into him it took a week before Lord asshole decided he had enough of this. When the two of us got back onto our shift we found he had been beaten the hostility had nearly vanished since he could hardly move at that point. Harrison felt sorry for Sam before going into the fox's den something no one has dared to do when we got in, man you should have seen it. Sam despite being seriously injured tried to escape we had to stop him before Harrison tried bandaging Sam's wounds it didn't work though. It took a week before he finally grew to trust us for we would stop and try to talk in which Sam ended up telling us how he was caught trying to help your village who just wanted to live in peace."

Richard paused just for a brief moment before continuing on as if he never stopped in the first place "we had come to find that the pain in the ass over there had been marked on the execution list. That night we came in while Sam was wide awake before taking him with us as we made our escape. Thus the start of a great alliance one in which we get to live in a hidden house and he would have a place to stay when he passes the area. As well before you ask no Harrison and I aren't a couple we're just good friends that's all unlike you lover boy." Oliver blushed before he said," shut up Richard we don't know if Sam's awake right now and I don't want him to know." Harrison said, with a hum" I hardly doubt that he's as obliviously as you think he is Oliver you aren't as great at hiding your emotions like he is." Oliver said, with a small whine" not you to Harrison you're not supposed to take sides on these subjects you know." Harrison just shrugged wearing a small grin as he watched Oliver become flustered at the two's comments.
