A/N I hope you guys are still interested in the story. I'm continuing it cause I wish to finish this one, but not in haste. I had given a quick update last time and hence the reason for delay. I had the chapter completed so I posted.
I'm very excited about this week's Grey's Anatomy episode. The promo was nail biting, nerve wrecking. I hope Arizona and Meredith are fine.
Now I won't waste any time, let us move onto the next chapter. We'll get to know how they escape and what games Xavier is playing.

General POV
"Okay I want you guys to act cool and show as if you didn't see them escape. Is that clear?" Xavier asked the guards. He'd got complete permission from Peter to use the guards the way he wanted for his plan.
He had a well devised plan ready for Callie and Arizona. It was so well planned that even Andrea was confused about it. And the first part was to throw the doctors in the forest and he was ready for it. After explaining everything to the guards, he walked towards the playroom where Callie and Arizona were ready for their escape.
He was just about to enter when he saw Peter coming there.
"What's it boss?" Xavier asked him
"Nothing, just came to check up on you." Peter replies
"Everything is going as per plan boss. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Just don't forget to do what I asked you to. It'll show that this all is not known to you and that we planned it." Xavier reminds him.
"Xavier, have I ever forgotton anything? I still haven't forgotten that Andrea had killed Nikki when she was in pain without knowing that it was her. So don't worry about it. I won't forget. Now go do your work." Peter assures him and leaves the place.
Xavier smirks and then proceeds to open the door. The moment he opened the door, he saw that Callie and Arizona were ready for him. They both stand up and look at him.
"Are you both ready?" Xavier asks them.
"We are. Is it clear outside?" Callie asks him.
"It is. Now come on. We shouldn't waste any time." Xavier moves forward to take Callie's hand but Arizona gets in the middle and holds Callie's hand.
"But Xavier, in which direction should we go?" Callie questions him.
"You run north. Here take this compass and run north. Now come on we don't have time. The guards have a shift change now. This is our only chance." He tells them.
"Okay, let's go." Arizona says and they leave the room.
Xavier takes them from the main corridor to the garden and then the other wing. They were just about to reach the west wing when,
"Wait." Xavier stops them abruptly. They see a guard coming near them. Both Callie and Arizona in that moment thought that maybe death was nearby now.
"Sir Xavier. Where are you taking them?" The guard asks him
"Boss asked for them. Now go. Do your work." Xavier shoos the guard away. "Come on. Let's go." He tells Callie and Arizona.
Callie and Arizona both hot on their heels ran behind Xavier. They reached the west wing gate. Xavier opens the gate and an alarm starts ringing. The noise alarmed the guards and they see Peter running and coming along with his guards.
"Run you both. Gooo" Xavier tells them.
"But what you? If they come to know that you helped us escape, they'll kill you." Callie tells him
"Don't worry about me. Go. Now!" Xavier pushes them and runs back.
Both Callie and Arizona run as fast as they can. They see the forest about 200 meters away from them and they run as fast as their injured legs could.
Peter reaches the gate and sees them running away. He removes his gun and aims.
"Ahh!" Callie screams and falls down. Peter had shot her in the leg.
"Calliope. Come on. I know you're in pain but we have to run. Come on." Arizona puts her hand under Callie's arms. She gives her support and they both run deep into the forest.
Peter watches them running away. He sends some of his guards so that Callie and Arizona think that they're following them. Xavier walks besides Peter and laughs.
"You're aim is still perfect boss."
"As good as old. Let the doctors enjoy a few days in the forest. And then it'll be showtime." Peter smirks and Xavier laughs with him.
This is about to get good.

Callie's POV
Peter freaking shot me. God I hate that son of a bitch. Both me and Arizona ran deep into the forests just the way Xavier told us. We could hear the guards following us. We needed to divert them and then get to the original way and leave this place forever.
"Arizona, I see a cave there. We should get inside it and wait till the guards go away. And also my leg hurts bad. I can't run anymore."
"Okay. Let's go." Arizona tells me and we run into the cave.
Arizona lays me down and examines my wound. She gasps and I wondered what she saw.
"Arizona what is it?" I ask her.
"Calliope, there is no exit wound. And this bullet isn't any ordinary one. This bullet is full of bacteria that will eat your flesh. We need to remove this as soon as possible. We need to take you to a hospital soon." Arizona says and tears stream down her eyes.
"Hey hey, it'll be fine. Don't worry. Xavier said that we'll reach the city in two hours. After that we can go to the hospital." I say as I cup her face and pull her down for a kiss.
We stay there and wait for the guards to leave for almost an hour. That was what we felt. Soon the guards leave the place and we move ahead.
Arizona pulls me towards her for support and we both start walking. It was almost time for sunrise but we still couldn't find the way out. Xavier had told us to keep walking north and that was what we did. But we couldn't find the way out of this huge forest.
"Callie, we've been walking all night. You have to rest baby." I hear Arizona say.
"But..." Arizona cuts me off.
"But nothing baby. Rest for sometime and then we'll find the way."
Arizona rests me against a tree and sits besides me. I rest my head against her shoulder. She kisses my forehead and I close my eyes.
"I think Xavier lied to us." I hear Arizona say. I lift my head and look at her.
"What do you mean?" I ask her
"I think he tricked you Calliope. He lied to us. If he had said the truth, we should have reached by now. He fooled us Calliope. Think about it yourself. Why would someone like him help us?" When Arizona tells me, I think about it. But it was so confusing because of the gun shot.
"I don't know Arizona. Are we going to die out here?" I ask her slowly.
"No. No we won't. I won't let us die. Please believe me. I wouldn't let anything happen to us." Arizona cries.
"I'm scared." I tell Arizona.
"We'll soon get out of here. Don't worry." She kisses me and we lay there as Arizona holds me.
And maybe I was fooled. But I still couldn't believe it.

General POV
"Let's play that little game of yours sister." Peter growls.
The guards bring his sister Andrea and tie her up to the bed in the playroom.
"Brother, why are you doing this?" Andrea cries. This causes Peter to snap and goes near Andrea, grabs her neck and chokes her.
"Remember Nikki? Does that name remind you something sister? Well I don't think you do so let us remind you of it." Peter growls.
He points at one of his men to bring the injections filled with drugs. The other guard starts to inject the drugs into Andrea. She gives up a fight but it was of no use. 5 injections later, the effect of the drugs took over.
"Dear sister, you killed my wife for your pain of losing Karen and David so now I take my revenge on you. But don't worry, cause Callie and Arizona aren't going to be forgiven. Once we find them, they're going to be drugged just like you. After all the revenge and payback, you'll be sold. Plain business for me." Peter tells an unconscious Andrea.
"You'll be treated the same as them. But, personal relation with you, I'll sell you to someone who doesn't like hardcore sex." Peter laughs.
"What to do with her now boss?" One of the guard asks.
"Keep giving her the drugs every 3 hours. And enjoy her the way you want. Invite a few of the others too." Peter says and leaves the room.
He enters his office with Xavier behind him.
"How much more longer do we have to wait now Xavier?" Peter asks him
"3 more days boss. Let the bullet show it's effects first." Xavier tells Peter.
"And what if they escape?"
"They won't boss. Cause I asked them to go North. And you know that yourself that the more you go in that direction, the more deeper the forest gets. So don't worry, we'll catch them." Xavier smirks.
"Okay. Now leave." Peter orders.
Xavier does as he's said and leaves.
"Enjoy the days of freedom doctors. You will later live the way I say." Peter smirks.

Arizona's POV
Both Callie and I had been resting for sometime now. Callie had rested her head against my shoulder. She needed rest with the wound. She needed treatment soon. I knew we shouldn't have trusted Xavier from the beginning. But I did only because of Calliope.
I turn to look at her and I see her lips have turned blue. I panic.
"Calliope? Calliope? Baby please open your eyes." I plead.
"Water..." She slurs with her eyes closed
"Baby...I'll get you water. Don't sleep alright? I'll get you water." I say and I run in search of water.
I had no idea where to get water. I ran as fast as I could in search of water. I ran and ran and finally I saw a lake near by. I rushed towards it. I grabbed a few leaves and collected some water in it. I took the water and ran to Callie.
I saw that she was sprawled on the ground. I rush towards her and pick her up and make her drink the water.
"Here Calliope, drink it. Please it's water."
Callie greedily drank all the water. And laid her head on my shoulder. She cups my face and smiles at me.
"I'm fine baby. Don't worry about me. Did you drink some?" She asks me.
I look at her and I could see all the love she has for me. Even at this moment she put me before her and asked me if I drank water or not.
"There's a lake nearby baby. I'll go and have later." I tell her
"No you won't I know that. Here, I've left some for you. Drink it." She says
It was the first time I saw that there was some water left for me. I drank it greedily myself.
I laid there with Calliope, holding her hand I quietly examined her wound. I then picked her up, gave her some support and took her to the lake. I sat here there and collected some water and poured on her wound. I could some of the flesh being eaten off but I was helpless. I couldn't see the bullet and needed equipment to pull it out.
I sat with Calliope and she came back to her previous position. She laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep.
We needed to get out of here. And soon. I knew with the speed the bacteria was eating her flesh off, I did not have much time with her.
Please God, help us. Please save us. Soon I could feel myself falling asleep. I held Calliope and went off to sleep.
And Darkness came all over.
