Disclaimer: Yeah…still don't own it.
~Chapter 4 Start~
Phoenix woke up in a daze. He had no idea where he was or even the time. He looked around rubbing his head which hurt more than before. He took a moment to look around the room pitch black. There was no sign of windows but the faint outline of a door was visible. He felt around him feeling fairly soft covers. He noticed he was alone and went to get up. He makes it to his feet before something around his ankle stops him. He reaches down feeling cold metal around his ankle he followed the links of a short chain to the bed post. He panic increased as he found he was trapped here alone. He sat back on the bed and curled into a tight ball. He was happy to still be in his classic blue suit though his hair had drooped a little. He ran his hands carefully through his hair to try and fix it but cringed when he felt a harsh stinging. He also felt something warm and wet against his fingertips. He pulled his hand away and moved it in front of his face to see what it was having the faintest idea from past experience. An uncharacteristic frown reached the man's face as he saw the crimson liquid. Though there wasn't much it was a worrying ordeal to be bleeding like that. He picked up one of the pillows and wiped it off on the case. He knew he couldn't go back to sleep now and his panic was winding down to a calming moment of fear and worry. Over time he found a few sore spots bruises forming on his skin where he remembered the other man grabbing him the night before. He shook his head and went back to trying to think of why he was here. He had made a few enemies and was going through the list. But he could think of no one he knew who was not already in jail or out of the country. He let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes to calm his thoughts in hopes to get rid of the still growing headache.
Outside the door Edgeworth was pacing and muttering to himself on how to explain things to Phoenix. He was distressed and gave no thought to the burning thirst slowly growing in his throat. His thoughts were to busy trying desperately to predict Nick's reactions to the different explanations. Finally he decided to go for it. He took a deep breath and looked around. The only person other than himself outside the room was Z and it was only because Rebecca had decided to go yell at the odd albino in the other room for some reason he wasn't told of. He moved to brush off the non existing dust from his suit before pulling the door carefully open. His eyes adjusted to the dark room quickly and soon widened at the sight before him. Phoenix was in the fetal position a silver chain around his ankle and locked on the bed. He walked over quickly for a better look but froze half way. A strong scent reached his nose and his mind took a moment to register the deep crimson stains on the pillow. He took an unstable step back his self control being pushed to the limit. He looked into Nick's eyes and the scared and sorrowful look in his eyes crushed his heart. He knew Nick was badly hurt and needed help but it wouldn't be from him. He let out a strangled yell trying to get Z or someone to help him out. He feared if he moved or tried to take in air he would be further tempted to hurt Nick. Before Phoenix could react to Miles being there Z darted in and dragged him out again shutting the door harshly. She pushed him back against the wall and grumbled to herself before going back to her spot against the wall. As Miles was beginning to regain his senses he noticed the annoyed glares he was getting from Z. He glared back at her slowly moving back to his feet a hand shooting out to point at the door. His expression became accusing as his voice held venom enough to kill an army. "What was that about?! Why was he hurt and chained to the bed like that?!" Z rolled her eyes at him, "Would you rather he run away? And Rebecca is yelling at the guy we sent after him. You'll get your answers soon." Miles was furious he wanted to go and see if Nick was alright but he knew he would only hurt him more. As a silence settled over the hall the door next to Z opened Rebecca and Arrigo emerged with another man. Arrigo let out a sigh and grabbed the young albino by the shoulders and smiled faintly. "This is Avery…he is barely older than you to the night life. I'm sorry I sent him. I should have known better than to send someone so young to pick up your pet." Miles was still angry and walked up to the two men in front of him. "Why is he bleeding and chained to the bed?!" Avery flinched at the harshness of the procecuter's words. He moved to hide behind Arrigo tightly gripping the back of his shirt confidence gone for the time being. He had been through a strict tongue lashing and knew he was in a great deal of trouble. As Miles slowly calmed down Arrigo spoke calmly "He only ment to knock the man out…he doesn't completely understand his strength….he's chained up to keep him in the room so no one will catch and eat him in the halls." Edgeworth gave a slight nod and turned to look at the door. "I've read the books but I had no idea it would be so painful to be so close to him like that…" Arrigo nodded and spoke carefully "You will need to feed. We will have someone make sure your pet is alright and stitch him up for you." Miles finally became annoyed "He is not my pet!! His name is Phoenix Wright and I will not let you act like he's an animal!" The others backed away as Arrigo took badly to being yelled at by the younger vampires he quickly struck out at Edgeworth striking him hard across the face shallow claw marks showing. He turned and stormed off leaving the hall in silence.
