Henry sit on his bed with Madison as he watches Regina pacing around the room, too agitated by Joey's appearance to calm down now that Sammy has gotten over his fear of losing her and has released her.
Regina snarl and growl in anger as she paced around the room. She is mad at herself for hurting Madison, even if it healed up quickly, and listening to Joey Drew's orders again. Yes, he has her siblings but she really has no reason to fear him hurting them because she can easily rip him apart and once he is dead she can look for them herself but no, she still fears and listen to him and she doesn't know why!
She was about to attack the hand reaching for her but manage to stopped before drawing blood when she saw who it was. "What?" She tried to keep the growl out of her voice but it didn't work.
But that didn't bother Sammy at all as he picks her up and holds her like you would hold a cat as he gently stroke her back to calm her down. "What is bothering you, Regina?" He asked softly.
Regina hissed loudly when she was picked up but the gentle patting soon calms her down and the hissing soften until it is completely gone. She moves so she can push her head against Sammy's hand purr softly, wanting to be comforted instead of talking right now.
"It's alright now, Regina. It is alright." Sammy said softly as he gently stroke her head and hum softly while rocking her gently.
Regina relaxes even more and continues purring until she has fallen into a deep sleep.
"She is unhappy you know." Henry said softly once he is sure Regina is asleep. "She hates the one you seen to think as your lord." He is going to try and break through to Sammy, maybe then he will be more willing to help them escape.
"What nonsense are you talking about? She doesn't hate our Lord." Sammy doesn't truly believe that, he might be crazy but he isn't blind, she won't be locked up for so long if she was happy and willing to serve their Lord but it is what he has been telling himself for so long.
"Are you sure? She was pretty happy until he came in." Henry pointed out as he jumps out of bed and walks towards Sammy to place one gloved hand on his leg, damn his shortness.
"She...she was just upset that she had to hurt a friend..." Sammy hug Regina closer as he felt something he has never felt in a long time, doubt.
"Is that really all it is?" Henry looks up at Sammy as he tilts his head. "Then why would she threaten him when he was walking towards you?"
"She didn't want me to be hurt again..." He said softly as he sat down on the floor while still holding Regina close to his chest.
"No one is happy serving a lord that would keep hurting them, must less a lord that would hurt someone they care about." Henry places his hand on Sammy's back, glad that he had sat down. "You know how that feels, you were worried that he would hurt Regina, maybe even kill her. How do you think she feels knowing that he has continuously hurt you?" His eyes soften when he watch the broken ink man in front of digest the information he was given. "I'll give you some time to think things through. I hope you'll do what's best for both you and Regina." He pats his back before going back to his bed and crawls back onto it.
"Do you think you've gotten through to him?" Madison whispered to Henry once he has sat down next to her.
"I really hope so." He whispered back. "We will really need him by our side if we want to leave without being dragged back by Regina, she will never leave without Sammy." It sadden him to see how broken the music director has become but he can see hope for the man in form of Regina and he hope that Sammy isn't to far gone to be saved.
The darkness and silent is the only thing that surrounds him and honestly, he is starting to get bored and lonely. It doesn't help that he can't move at all so he can't do anything to entertain himself.
He was just about ready to bite off his arms so he can move around the room when the door opens and light spills into the room. He closed his eyes at the sudden bright light and wait for it to adjust before opening them again.
In front of him is the ink monster with The Projectionist, aka Norman Polk. He can also see that he wasn't as alone as he thought, in the room with him is a Boris that looks like a werewolf and an Alice Angel who's halo is stuck between her devil horns and bright yellow eyes slit like a cat that is leaking inky tears that don't seem to stops flowing. They are both looking at the ink monster with pure fear on their faces, the both of them only have chains around their neck to keep them from leaving the room as it is only long enough for them to reach each other.
The werewolf Boris is hugging Alice protectively as she buries her face into his overalls. He has never seen them before and he wonders if they would help him with the escape.
"Sheep, sheep, sheep. It's time for sleep. Rest your head. It's time for bed. In the morning, you may wake. Or in the morning, you'll be dead." The ink demon sang as he chains the unconscious Norman Polk next to him. The ink demon, he doesn't deserve to be called by his name, chuckle madly and place his finger to his grin once he is done chaining up Norman. "Shh...let the man sleep." He chuckles to himself as he leaves the room and locks the door behind him.
He wants to talk to the werewolf and angel who he can now hear whispering to each other, not loud enough for him to hear what they are saying, but he can't speak. He has tried many times but not a single sound has ever left his mouth.
The whispering soon stops and he is back in the lonely darkness with no way to communicate with the others in the room.
