Adeline's POV

"Come on, there's the mansion" I weakly say as I limp the two of us across the road, my eyes following the long string of tall buildings as we neared the familiar one

"W-wait... I need to sit down again" Klaus sighs, reaching his hand down to the ground below

I gently help him, leaning him down to a sit on the cold curb. The sun was setting just over a few of the tall city buildings as I sat next to him. I gently held my hand up to my face, flinching as my hand runs over the tender spot.

Dried blood tightly held onto the skin under my nose as I turned to look at Klaus, addressing the damage done to him. He still hadn't explained why he was dressed only in a towel, wrapped loosely around his waist. He held his hand up to touch his split eyebrow, he flinched as he touched it, looking at me for advice.

"I'm tired" He simply mutters

"Come on, lets get you home and fixed up" I say, standing and offering my hand to him as he looked up at me "You look terrible" 

"So do you" He weakly smirks, grabbing my hand

I help him lift his weight up as I wrapped his arm around my shoulder again, walking us both down the street as we became more visible to the Academy.

As I pushed through the front door, only just catching Klaus's and my own weight, I adjust his arm around my shoulder slightly, keeping him up a bit better as he stumbled in step with me. As we neared the lounge entrance, I frowned. I stumbled the two of us into the lounge and let Klaus fall onto one of the sofa's as my relaxed siblings look up at me in shock. I take the black briefcase he had carried all the way home from his hands, before looking up at all of them.

"What happened to you two, then?" Five asks coldly, looking down at the drink in his hand as he leant against the bar

I paused, glaring at him across the room "Are you all fucking serious?" I ask, their eyes all focused on me

"Well?" Five asked again and I shot him a look, one that could kill

"We've been held hostage by two psycho's and tortured since last night, and all you have to say is 'What happened'?" I ask in complete outrage 

Luther raises an eyebrow at me "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Klaus and you were being held hostage?" Luther asks in shock as he stands up, his hands out in question

"Where the fuck do you think we went missing too for twenty four fucking hours?!" I yell, stepping forward to all of them

"Whoa, wait a second" Allison says "We thought you two had just gone off on some... bender or something"

"Fuck all of you" I mutter as I bend down to pick up injured Klaus off of the couch as his eyes began to shut

I lift up Klaus, limping us both out of the room again as I attempt to find Pogo. 

"Wait! Adeline!" Allison calls after me, but Luther stops her

I simply ignore them as I limp up the staircase to the infirmary, Klaus groaning in pain as he rolls his head around weakly. As I pass Klaus's room, I chuck the briefcase that I had taken from Klaus as he became weak onto the floor, standing it up against a old dresser.

I begin walking down the hall again as I feel Klaus become more heavy, slipping out of consciousness.

"Pogo!" I call out down the hall, and soon after, Pogo pokes his head out of a room curiously 

"Miss Adeline?" He says in shock as he walks down the hall to us "What happened?" 

"Klaus and I were kidnapped, by those psychos who broke in last night. Tortured us both. I need your help. They dinged up Klaus real proper" I say as Pogo leads me down the hall
