Elektra was shocked...disturbed...and sorta confused, but realized that was what she had worried about. Him taking it the wrong way. Which he did. But she didn't expect him to hold it for THAT long. She expected him to freak out, not ...indulge...which he seemed to be doing.

Something that made her nervous. Elektra had her eyes open and couldn't tell if the expression on his face was that of pleasure or not. Either way she figured it was, seeing how he wouldn't let go, nor break away from her.

She realized he seemed to be weakening with the strength he was using to hold her in place and keep as close to her as he could, so she slipped out of his grasp, and away from him. Elektra didn't know what to say, or even do or think.

He on the other hand, was seemingly happy. That was, until she pulled away from him. He turned his head toward her and opened his eyes. She had a nervous, slightly confused look on her face. It hit him like a ton of bricks. Elektra wasn't trying to kiss him. Uh-oh. Big mistake on his part.

It was then silent for awhile. No one moved, or made a sound.

'...Okay, he didn't know. It was just a big misunderstanding. Anyone could mistake that. sigh.' Elektra thought. She moved closer to him and put her hand on his arm.

"...I'm...sor-ry...I didn't-" Was all he managed to mumble out.

"Sh," she cut him off. "It's alright...can you help me? I need to get your shirt off."

'...What?...' His eyes shot open. He didn't know why, but he obeyed. He slowly tried to sit up with difficulty so Elektra helped to support him. Once that was succeeded, his hands were shaking as he tried to unbutton his shirt. She put her hands over his and helped him un button it. He was blushing madly and it turned to brick red as she slid his shirt off completely. His mind was going hay wire.

'...Okay, okay don't go all...she's touching my hands!...She's...taking my...shirt...wow, this is...awkward. Is this good or bad? Good or bad? Good...bad...AH!' Elektra had moved her hand over his chest. 'Unwanted/Wanted physical contact! ...Unwanted...wanted...unwanted, or wanted?' He couldn't figure any of it out.

"Alright, now I need you to turn around, and lay on your stomach."

'...What is she going to do to me...?' So many thoughts ran through his head. Still, he managed to turn around and tried to lay flat, without causing pain. Which was pretty hard. Even just moving his arms hurt. Elektra held his arms to try and get him onto the ground softly, without him having to give much effort.

He was now laying flat and Elektra squeezed his left hand reassuringly. She left his side for a brief moment and had some supplies with her. There was a bowl with the boiled concoction of flowers and leaves from the cinquefoil, and a rag she had grabbed and brought with her. She knelt down on the ground beside him and began shredding the rags into strips. Elektra took one of the strips and dipped it into the bowl and soaked it. She turned towards him and looked at his back. She couldn't believe how badly Von had hurt him...she never saw him like that...it was as if he wanted him dead. His entire back was covered in crimson slash marks and puncture wounds. It even looked like some flesh was ripped straight off. She hoped these herbs would help him, she couldn't stand to see anything in this much pain.

"This might sting a bit, but it should help you." Elektra told him before taking the first strip and pressing it against him. He made a growling sound which made her hesitate on the second. Unfortunately, she had no choice so she continued placing and pressing them onto the wound, even with his growls and crys of pain. When she finally finished covering the wound completely, she put her hand on his arm as a signal she was done.

"I'm sorry. I'm finished now and just need it to stay on for a few minutes." Chase gripped her hand softly and she smiled faintly. After a few minutes went by she pulled her hand out of his grasp and began pulling off the strips of cloth. He winced a bit, but not as badly as when she had put them on. She put the used cloth back in the bowl and turned to him.

"Alright, I'm all finished for today."

"...T-thank...you..." He mumbled out.

"I'm just...I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I didn't-I didn't know Von would do something like that. Especially since you did try to save me I just didn't think-"

Elektra was cut off as Chase used what little strength he had left and sat up to embrace her. His arms were around her neck and he rested his head against the side of hers. She was confused and sorta shocked, with a light blush on her face.

"I...I-LL...I LL..." He was trying to mumble something and Elektra realized he was losing strength as his grip weakened as well as his voice.

"Sshh, just rest now. I promise you'll be alright. I'll take care of you." She told him.

He smiled faintly before closing his eyes. "...Elektra..." He whispered in her ear before falling asleep.

Elektra felt him slipping away and gently rested him onto the ground with his head on a pillow and covered him with the blanket. She stood up and gathered the things around the floor and headed out of the cell to let him rest. '...How did he know my name?...'

Wow. Finally done. I know, it took me forever. But it was kinda hard for me to get everything set for this chapter to make it a combo of some funny stuff as well as fluff, where it would make sense. Yeah. Gotta do this quick since I gotta study for my tests, and go to sleep so I can get up at 4:30. I know, I'm crazy. That's just me. No time for explainations so plz just review. By the way, can you guys figure out what Chase was gonna say to Elektra? I hope you enjoyed this. Bye!
