Hey there everybody!

Oh... :( I was trying to impersonate Dr. Nick from the Simpsons, but I failed. I HAVE FAILED MY IMPERSONATION! And yes, I am under the influence of sugar, as you probably realized it by now. Mikaela gave up on me, she says I'm not even worth the shot and she called me 'helpless' and 'tupoy', whatever that means... So, yeah... Let's get this started. Wait, not yet. Because I wanna tell you that I really like you, just as much as I like chocolate cake and I LOOOOOOVE chocolate cake and I-OKAY, Lonee, STOP!

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all the feedback, even though it's few, but enough... :)

Let's answer these reviews...

- MasterK166, first of all, the name of the kid is Noah, not Nick... You're confusing him with his dad... Anyway, you too are shipping them, boy? Good to know. Read ahead!

- RedZeo4ever, I'm glad you like the pairing I let out :D Ahri is sick indeed and it's only up to the time and her system to make sure she doesn't perish. And I KNOW that I keep you on pins and needles, I'm that much of a meanie.

- eroticlad11, thank you for your review and I hope you like this chapter!

- LadyDiamond92, it's a little weird that you like the bad guy from this story, but who am I to point fingers? I'm in love with Zeref and he's the biggest enemy in Fairy Tail! About the last part of your review... Are you a mind-reader? Or you only can read mine? Because if you can... I'm sorry about the trauma... hehe. You'll know what I mean when you read the chapter.

Nothing else to say except that Mikalea just busted inside my room and she's begging for my help, so I gotta go!

ON THE FIC!


Chapter 7: Trying To Escape.


The dim light allowed them to see the outlines of their friends, but wasn't strong enough to visualize every traces of their strained faces. Clothes dirty with sweat, dirt and blood, minds filled with the most terrifying scenarios. Hands shaking with worry, bodies limp with fatigue. There weren't many the ones that actually stood awake. Kai and Ozuma were part of that tiny group, followed by Nick. Rya allowed herself to lay in Kai's arms, not completely asleep, but not fully awake either. Skye and Susie were the ones deeply asleep, their tiredness overpowering their worries. Everyone else was zooning out, but they didn't stay like that for long. The crimson-eyed male had his eyes closed, but his mind concentrated, focused on one goal:

Get them out.

His information were few, but enough. He had escaped before with much less information. Truth to be told, he was alone on those times. That, or Rya was with him. Only the two. Like it always had been. This time, he had to be more careful. Because he was dealing with much weakling beings than him or Rya. He had to plan every step of the way to keep them safe, and he didn't think he could do it. But he could sure as hell try. Rya stirred on his lap, making him jump in alert. He didn't want her to wake up. It had been forever since the last time she had gotten any decent sleep. It wasn't just the situation between them, the kids or the place they were currently in. No. This had been happening for the last two weeks. He didn't know much, because Rya was like him: she kept her secrets for herself. But from what he had been able to tell from her whispers around the house when she thought no one could hear her, it had something to do with Fire Cat.

He watched her sleep, her breaths long and soft, her eyes closed and her lips parted. God, he would do anything for this woman... No words sufficed to describe what he felt for her. He had told her that, and she had agreed that she felt the same. And when the children came... When he found out it was twins, his heart beat faster. And when he saw the children and the little girl opened her eyes to him, and he saw their silver color, he almost cried. He had everything he wanted. He had everything needed to make a man happy. And yet, he felt fear. He felt the fear of losing, the feeling of pain, the feeling of angst. She was his perfect world, along with his kids, and he couldn't ask for more. He loved this woman more than life itself, and he made sure to tell her that every day.

He didn't want to wake her up, but he had to. He needed her help, she was more sensitive than him about the facts than he was. She could soften his plan and get everyone to agree. All he had to do was wake her up. But no... Not yet. From the look on her face, she looked like she was having a nice dream. That, or a peaceful sleep. The kind of sleep she didn't get in a while. But he had to wake her up. So, the arm that was once wrapped around her shoulders to steady her head on his shoulder went around her and, with the other, grabbed her thighs and pulled her to his lap, allowing her to lay on his chest. Her soft breathing on his neck, her warm hands on his lap, her delicious curves pressed against him. His fingers combed her hair, soothing her, while she woke up.

"K-Kai?"

"I'm sorry for waking you up." he whispered, but was sure she heard it.

"What's going on? Is everything okay with the twins?" she asked, sitting up straight in his lap.

"No, nothing happened. Adryan is asleep and Ahri is tossing around, but that Noah boy has her secure. For now."

"Then what is it? Is something wrong with you?" she asked, taking his face in her hands.

"I need your help." he told her. She nodded, showing him she was listening, and he proceeded "I think I know a way to get us all out of here. I don't know where the exit is, and I don't know how many guards we're about to face, but we have to try, babe."

"That's my man..." she whispered, kissing his forehead "What do you need me to do?"

"Wake up everyone. We're gonna get out of here in one piece."

And so she did. Groans and moans filled the air, eyes opened and bodies sat up straight. Rya's ankle was still weak from the blast she received there when she was caught, but she didn't show pain. Ray was the last one to wake up, god knew for how long he didn't sleep, worried about his wife and his daughter. But he eventually got up, blinking quickly in order to ward sleep off. Salima smiled to him and took his hand in hers, squeezing it lightly. Ray kissed her forehead and caressed her red locks, before turning to the others and smiling slightly.

"I'm glad you're all awake." Rya said "Kai has a plan to get us all out of here. Are you ready to hear it?"

The all nodded and smirked, their energy boosting up immediately. They were tired, sure, but the simple idea of freedom made them all turn up and ready themselves for another fight. Kai nodded in recognition and quickly explained them the plan. Even though every guard was pure brute force and muscle, they could still evade and buy some time with their advances and smartness. The shifts happened every ten minutes and they had a narrow window of three minutes until the next guard could install himself in their spot.

They could attack the guard after the shift change, and that would give them a bigger window to run away and find the exit, counting on no guards patrolling the hallways. But since that was sure to never happen, they just had to be more careful. Skye suggested they would fake an injury and have the guard come inside. They agreed and, after picking Mariam as the best actress, they quickly set their plan in motion.

The new guard installed himself in his chair, opening a magazine and reading it. Mariam nodded to her friends and started groaning, calling out for help. The guard opened the door to check what was going on and, when he saw Mariam lying on the ground, holding on to her leg, he advanced to her. Such act was his stupidest, because Ozuma immediately jumped on him and Salima took away his keys. Choking the guard to unconsciousness, the male got up and took Mariam's hand watching both sides of the hallway before exiting the dungeon.

Everyone followed him, except Rya, that went to the male once more, before following them. They walked silently down the hallway, to a side that Kai picked. They weren't fast enough for anyone to hear them, but they weren't slow either. To some of them, this was a video game come true, like Stealth. To others, it was a scary thing to surpass in order to get out of there. To others, it was just another memory, only that they had so much more to life for now. They found a bifurcation and Rya told them to wait for her there, while she took one passage.

Two minutes later she came back and led them through the other way, always in a steady path. Once they reached another bifurcation, they stood, while Rya did the same thing. This time, she came back and told them to follow her, taking the path she chose in the first place. They walked and walked, and Rya stayed back, in the end of the line, right next to Kai. He eyed her curiously, feeling something fishy was up with her, but decided to ignore. He could worry about that later. Right now, they needed to get away.

A gasp rip them out of their dream to reality. Susie had let it out, while pointing to the end of the turn they were about to take. A guard was there, reading his magazine, and guarding a door. They all gulped, they knew there was no way they could beat that steroid beast. But someone had a better solution than just face him. Rya walked to him in the biggest calm and worriless that a person could possibly have when facing a guard that was about to kill her. Kai advanced to her immediately, but Nick stopped him, grabbing the man by the back of his shirt and pulling him back. The guard spotted Rya and stood up, ready to charge at her, but as soon as he stood up, he also fell down. A soft sound was heard and they saw the guard falling on his knees.

And Rya with a gun on her hand.

Kai ran to her and took the gun from her hands. Watching it carefully, it was a silver Desert Eagle with silencer, and apparently, it was full with bullets. The girl watched him for a while and smiled, reaching inside her pocket and taking three chargers, giving them to him, before taking a SOG SEAL Team 2000 that she was hiding inside her boots. He stared at her with disbelief, before letting out a low chuckle and walking with her hand entwined in his, she armed with a knife and him with a gun.

They found another bifurcation ahead of them and chose one path. It was all going well, everything quiet and calm… Until the alarm started ringing. Loud and prolonged honks that alerted every single guard that the prisoners had escaped. Meaning that they had to move. Fast. They started running, no one longer cared about the noise they could make. The guards were already alerted, so such wasn't needed. Some appeared out of nowhere, and shots were fired, coming from Kai and the enemy.

And they ran. And ran. They stayed together, like they were supposed to, but the guards were tightening their barriers. Rya managed to wound three or four before they started coming like bees, all together and with one simple goal: taking them down. They fought them back, the males trying their best to fight them off, though they were easily overpowered. They were just too strong. Kai killed a few, and incapacitated others, but kept trying to take them to freedom. And they ran. And ran.

Kai was currently shooting to kill when he ran out of bullets. Tapping his pocket, he saw that he was out of chargers. So, throwing the gun at another's head, he took Rya's hand and raced to the other exit, so that he could save her. But he felt her pulling him back. So, looking to her, he noticed that she was trying to go back to her friends, friends that were being overpowered by the guards. Sighing, the man gave into her wishes. He started to run in their direction, but Rya stopped him, saying:

"No. Go."

"What the hell are you talking about, woman?" he asked, looking down to her. "Save our babies. Them first. After that, you can move oceans and mountains to retrieve me. But them first, Kai."

"I'm not leaving you here." He told her.

"Yes you are." She told him, smiling.

"Rya, I can't." he told her.

"Save them, Kai. They're more important than me."

"No. I can't lose you." He whispered. "You won't. I'll live to see the day you enter these doors with an army behind you. But our babies are first, Kai."

"If you die, I die, Rya. Forgot that?" he reminded her, of so many years passed, when she retrieved him from the dark hands of Death.

"Never. But they don't live under the same curse, Kai. Save my babies. And then, you can save me."

"I hate your stupid morality sense, you know that, right?" he told her, letting go of her hand.

"I know. You made that perfectly clear when I was in the park with the twins and Johnny showed up again." She reminded him, winking.

"I love you." Kai said, kissing her forehead. "I love you too. Now go."

He nodded and watched her turning away, before pulling her into his arms and kissing her. Kiss that would heal him, kiss that would give him hope, kiss that would save him. She smiled before kissing back, her hands on his shoulders to compensate their height differences. His arms wrapped around her waist and pressed her against him, not wanting to let her go. But he had to. She broke the kiss and smiled, before shaking her head and patting his wild hair, before walking away.


A/N: Aw, isn't that a cute scene? Even though surrounded by their enemies and having their friends in danger, they continue to love each other and demonstrated it... So cute. LadyDiamond92, happy now?
