Feliciano panted, his breath coming out in little white puffs as he ran through the painfully familiar hallways in the horrible mansion. No matter how terribly hard he tried to remember why they had come into the mansion in the first place he couldn't figure it out. How many loops of suffering the deaths of his friends had it been since he had forgotten? Why was he the one to repeatedly watch these traumatizing events? The Italian leaned against a wall in one of the more dimly lit hallways of the mansion to catch his breath and flipped through the pages in his journal quickly, hearing the ticking of the grandfather clock mocking him yet again. "I need to hurry and find Arthur... The clock is too far away and we don't have time.." He grimaced as an image of the horrifying monster that had been tormenting the group time and time again. After a bit of his frantic searching through the pages he found what he was looking for and quickly scribbled some notes on it. His hands froze when he heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching him from behind and he turned to see not the monster he was expecting, but his worn and bloodied friend.

"Arthur!" He cried out in fear and grasped the other's arm before pulling him down the hallway quickly to the small bathroom that the monster seemed unable to follow them into the previous times they had fled to it for shelter.

The British man slumped against the wall and put his head in his hands after Feliciano's grip on his arm lessened at seeing that it wasn't the British man's blood that covered him. "Everyone is dead Feliciano. We have to restart the whole process again. I never can save up enough energy to keep up my strength to make it here for the spell."

"We are going to be alright Arthur. We have to-" Feliciano stopped at the sound of frantic clawing on the other side of the door and a sense of dread spread through his entire being.

"I thought he couldn't get in here!" Arthur spoke before Feli could gather his thought.

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

The sound of the clock's ticking grew louder until it was almost agonizingly deafening and Feliciano looked to the other man. He had been through it enough times to know exactly what was needed to get them both out of this terrifying experience and try once again "We have to hurry. The spell. We have to reverse the time now before it's too late."

Arthur nodded after a brief moment of fear and opened up the book he always carried with him, flipping through it quickly before moving so that he and Feliciano were standing in front of one another. He started chanting in another language which Feli assumed was Latin as he joined in with his own in his native tongue. The Brit made gestures in the air that accompanied the spell as they both spoke, surprisingly calm although they were both scared out of their minds.

The ominous darkness of the room quickly brightened as their spell formed. The magical flashes and swirls of lights danced around them as the ticking became too much for Feliciano and he reached out and grasped the sink to keep his balance.

Crack!

They were nearing the end as suddenly a part of the door broke off and Feliciano stared fearfully at the menacing creature that could be seen through the hole that was now in the door. Both of the men sped up their words as they hear more of the door being ripped apart, the lights of their magic blindingly bright as Feliciano felt his vision begin to fade; a relieved smile came to the Italian's lips as he collapsed to the floor just when the monster let out a loud cry and rushed at the men.

"I'll save them yet... Even if it means giving my life..." He uttered the final words as everything finally faded away to darkness.
