The Selection (1x1 with AnnaCat17)

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Okay. They're going to get her. She'll be coming to see you, okay? Just hang on." Atlas desperately watched him, hoping he would stay awake.

Solace whimpered, trembling. "Why do you hate me?" she whispered, shaking in fear.

[AnnaCat17]

Romeo nodded shakily and held tightly to Atlas' arm with his bloody arm, clinging to life. "Is he dead?"

"I hate everyone and you wont leave me alone." He glanced at her for a moment before returning to watching the door. "I think we can move you to medical. Hold onto me." He picked her up and carried her down to the hospital wing, going slowly so they wouldnt run into any remaining fighting.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"The king? Yes. He's dead." Atlas patted his shoulder. He glanced up as a guard rushed towards him with Elliott. Abril stayed in the safe room with Pavel. "Romeo!" Elliott screamed, rushing towards him. She knelt down beside him, sobbing as she took his hand.

"You could have just said that," Solace cried. "I could have stopped tending to you. You didn't have to hurt me." She gripped his shirt, clinging to him only because she was afraid he'd drop her just to be cruel.

Romeo reached a hand up and rested it on her cheek, getting blood on her face. "Please smile." He said weakly, needing something good to hold onto.

Sutton rolled his eyes but went into the hospital wing. Already it was buzzing as injured people were brought in. He sat her on a bed and sat in the chair beside her, figuring he would stay with her until someone she knew showed up. "You will be ok. Just try to think of something positive."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Elliott sobbed, but forced herself to smile. "I love you," she whimpered, pressed her cheek to his hand. "Stay with me, please," she begged him as the doctor rushed over to them.

Solace trembled, wrapping her arms around herself. She watched him fearfully, afraid he had a hidden motive to helping her.

[AnnaCat17]

"I love you too." He brought her hand to his mouth, kissing her fingers. Guards came over and pulled him away from her, making him cry out in pain as they lifted him up to take him to the hospital wing.

Sutton looked aroubd boredly. He was hungry and unaffected by the gore around him. "Think the monarchy is done for now?" He asked her just to start a conversation.

Pavel was led through the room and to one of the private rooms. He tried to keep ahold of Abril, nervous about being separated from her.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Elliott whimpered, following them nervously and worriedly to the hospital. She was afraid he was going to die.

Atlas let the other tend to the King's body. He went down the halls, examining the bodies. Wait. He crouched down, his hands griping the woman's shoulders. "Victory?"

Solace looked away, staring up at the ceiling and trying to block out everything around her. "I don't know," she whispered. "Do you?"

Abril clung to Pavel, refusing to let him go. She was afraid that she'd be separated from him, which was the last thing she wanted.

[AnnaCat17]

Romeo reached out and gripped her hand again as soon as he was laying down. "Stay with me." He begged as a doctor started trying to treat him.

Victory didnt respond to his touch as he rolled her onto her back. A knife wound was in her stomach causing her dress to be soaked in blood and she was as pale as death, but somehkw she was still breathing.

Sutton shrugged. "I hope so. They were a disgusting family and its time for a change." He watched a doctor come over to tend to her missing foot. "Ill make sure you have a new one within the week." He said quietly to her, feeling guilty that she got hurt so badly. He should have found sooner. He should have forced her to just go with him to the set so she would have been safe.

Pavel was sat on the bed and hooked to an iv to begin his detox before being left alone with Abril since neither of them were hurt. "Im a six." He wasnt necessarily talking to Abril but still hoped she would respond. "Im just Pavel." A shudder ran through him. "You are probably happy you were sent home, arent you?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"I will. I promise." Elliott tightly held on to his hand, watching him worriedly. She gently brushed his hair out of his face with her other hand, lovingly stroking his forehead.

Atlas gasped and carefully picked her up. He rushed towards the infirmary with her in his arms, afraid she was going to die.

Solace gasped. "They are not!" She couldn't continue to argue as the doctor came over, trying not to cry out from the pain that was becoming noticeable as her numbness faded.

"No, my love." Abril gently kissed his forehead. "I'm going to stay with you, if you want me to. I love you, Pavel, regardless of your caste. It doesn't matter to me."

[AnnaCat17]

Romeo grimaced in pain as the doctor worked. he squeezed his eyes sht and held tightly to her hand, desperately trying to keep his mind focused on ehr rather than what was happening to him.

Victory hung limply in his arms as he carried her. As soon as he laid her down doctors rushed to treat her and revive her, the situation only adding to the chaos of the room.

Sutton chuckled. "Yes, they are. The King was a blood thirsty maniac, the Queen is oblivious to what is going on, the first Prince is terrified of the world, and the second Prince is a little boy too preoccupied with putting frogs in people's beds to realize he is supposed to be someone people can look up to. The entire family is a joke and honestly I hope they all died tonight so we can be rid of them."

Pavel looked down at his hands ashamed. He knew once the drugs were out of him he would feel better but at the moment he felt terrible. "I don't know what I'm going to do. Everyone wants me either dead or gone." He forced himself to looked back up at her. "Will you call me from time to time once I leave?"
