We had to get out and soon, but Ghoul for some reason lingered outside the cell.

He turned to me and said "Sedative. Uhh… it was. I mean I really enjoyed meeting you, and in case we both don't make it out alright, I, uh, just wanted you to know…. That I'm glad we met."

He looked at me with a look that just made me feel… loved, which was great, because someone loving me, at all, was so foreign, everyone else listed all my faults, and would love to tell me what was wrong with me, but Ghoul was always saying how great I was.

I walked over to him, putting my finger on his lips to show him he needed to stop talking. I hadn't realized how close we had gotten. I whispered the words

"Don't talk like that. We're both gonna get through this, just fine. Oh, and Ghoul?" I put my hands on either side of his face, "It was nice to meet you too".

The sound of an explosion broke the embrace and we sped on through the halls of BL/ind. My heart was beating like a kick drum in my chest and I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins. At any moment, I was expecting a draculoid to sneak up and shoot me through the brain, but that was the funny thing. It was all seeming way too simple. We got all the way to the bathroom two halls down without a single drac or scarecrow blocking our path.

When we got into the bathroom, we locked the door behind us, and Ghoul started to unscrew the bolts on the air vent. He obviously knew more about these things then I did.

I turned towards him and asked "Was it strange that there was no dracs or scarecrows or anything?"

He kept on working, but answered "I was thinking that too. Usually by now, there would be like 10 fucking dracs, but you did knock out Korse and his dumbass dracs, so maybe there wasn't anyone to tell them you escaped."

I wasn't satisfied. "Well, I'm sure there are security cameras that would show everything that went on, right?"

"shit, yeah that's true. I really have no fucking idea how we got here so easily, but come on, I got it open."

He gave me a boost up to the vent, where I scrambled into it. It was easier said then done. He, somehow, got himself up too and we headed down the air ventilation system.

I heard Ghoul behind me say "You're gonna go all the way down the vent and where it splits, go right."

"No problem," I said, "But… uh… Ghoul, how many times have you done this?"

I heard his adorable laugh and he said, "Uh. This will be my fourth time navigating my way through these vents."

"Wow. You're captured a lot. That must suck," I said

"Well, a lot of times theres something we need out of BL/ind so I will let myself get taken and escape and bring shit we need, but this time was a much different story," He responded.

"Oh. I see," I was dying to know what happened, but I'd been asking him so many questions lately.

He sighed. "Sedative, we will have a long trip back to zone six and I will have plenty of time to tell you whatever shit you want to know about me, but you have to promise me, that in return you'll tell me all about you, too."

"ok, but there's not much to tell," I mumbled. Boy was that a lie! My life was a freaking soap opera. I reached the end of the path and turned right, to see the exit a couple of feet down.

"ok, this is where we get out." Ghoul directed.

I punched the vent and expected it to break or something, but nope my fingers were probably the things broken. I could hear Ghoul laughing his ass off, behind me.

"ok, so my ninja skills are on a low today. So what?" I rolled my eyes at him and he handed me the gun. I shot off the vent and jumped down, and Ghoul followed.

We were in the lobby and I looked around to a barren lounge area. Where were all the dracs? There was no way they were just letting us go.

I heard someone coming down the hallway and looked to see Korse, but he was with no one.

"Missing something?" he smirked. He held a green and white gun with some sort of creature on the side.

"MY GUN!" Ghoul screamed, "YOU BETTER GIVE IT BACK, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Korse just smiled that evil smile of his and flatly said, " No need to scream. I'll give it back, if you let me say my goodbyes to your girlfriend, Miss Rachel here."

He looked at me and whispered, " Your names Rachel? Cool beans! Mine's Frank!"

I smiled and whispered," I know." He looked so confused. I loved it.

"She's not my girlfriend," he said, "and sure you can say goodbye to our asses walking out the door."

He walked over and put his arms around my neck. The pedophile! And pulled away putting Ghoul's gun in my hands.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" Ghoul screamed. I was most definitely scarred for life.

Korse disappeared behind the corner and Ghoul and I bounded out the door while we still had the chance.
