Sparrow tugged at the chains that held the gate shut for the 50th time, as if hoping it will magically snap open for some reason. She silently sighed before pacing back and forth.
'How are we gonna get out?!' She thought angrily.
"Birdy birdy" Leslie muttered, seeing his friend in such a stressed out way worried him. He stopped her pacing by standing in front of her before lifting his hands up to her face. Sparrow wondered what he was about to do so she waited patiently as he held a mischievous look in his eyes. In the deafening silence he put both thumbs on either side of her mouth before suddenly pushing up.
"Hahahaha" Leslie giggled as he made Sparrow pull a face, she tried to stay serious but eventually a smile broke out on her face. Sparrow brought her hands up and made Leslie pull a face, making then both laugh more although Sparrow had to do it silently.
Suddenly a shotgun sound in the distance startled them both as they stepped away from the gate, Leslie quickly slipped his hand into Sparrow's, stepping behind her for protection. From around the corner Sebastian appeared, halting when he saw Sparrow.
Sparrow narrowed her eyes at him, putting her arm in front of Leslie as if trying to shield him away from Sebastian's gaze.
"Where's Kidman?" He asked them both. Sparrow shook her head whilst Leslie just repeated "kid...kid"
"Hold on I'll get you out of here in a minute" he said before looking at Sparrow,"try anything and I won't hesitate to shoot" he warned.
Sparrow nodded and he broke the chain, letting them both out.
Leslie stayed behind Sparrow, still clutching her hand as they exited the cage.
"I'm sorry about...last time we met, Joseph has these moments when he lashes out at me, he describes them as, wanting to jump and let it take over, do you think that's what's happening with you?" Sebastian asked, Sparrow looked to the side as if in thought before looking back at him and shrugging.
"You really can't talk?" He asked in astonishment.
She shook her head, no.
"Get it open... Get it open" Leslie interrupted their one sided conversation as he looked towards the gate ahead.
Sebastian walked towards the gate and then looked at the turning lever thing before stepping behind it and turned the lever, the gate slowly lifted open. Whilst Sparrow wondered how they were all going to get through there Leslie put his hands over his ears as Sebastian clenched his eyes in some kind of pain. Sparrow however couldn't hear the loud ringing noise that the others could so when Leslie darted forward and headed for the newly opened area with his hands over his ears. Sparrow closely followed and went through the gate after Leslie who started yelling.
"Hey! Wait" Sebastian called behind them. A small snap could be heard before a iron barrier shut behind them, startling Sparrow as Leslie continued to run down the stairs, still yelling.
'Leslie!' She quickly hurried down the stairs after him and grabbed his hand, spinning him around to face her before hugging him with her arms around his waist. He quickly calmed down afterwards before hugging her back. She stroked his hair and they stood there for a little while before she took his hand and they began to walk through the sewer like place leading to a cave. Sparrow put a finger to her lips once she saw disgusting creatures moving around, this time they weren't like the haunted they were more like spitting gross slimy things with their faces either split open and a bulbous tumour growing inside or their heads have been forcefully pushed to the side as a growth was on their necks. Plus when they walked about they sounded like they were burying their feet in intestines all the time. Sparrow scrunched her nose up at the disgusting smell.
They managed to get pretty far through the cave undetected. Suddenly Ruvik could be seen at the far end of the cave, Sparrow had the urge to run to him yet run away at the same time, she didn't get the way he acted with her all the time. One moment he wanted to murder her and fair enough he thought she was an illusion Jimenez placed in his mind so he acted ok around her, but then when she just saw him in the church he seemed like he wanted her to suffer, she didn't get him at all. Neither did she get the powerful thumping she felt in her chest whenever she saw him.
Despite them being as stealthy as possible Ruvik seemed to be looking straight at them. Leslie tugged her back to go the other way.
"Not that way, no, no, not that way" he muttered tugging her away, she turned and followed his direction, turning her back on Ruvik. Something that he didn't like at all.
"Where are you going?" a calm whisper in her ear startled her, spinning around Ruvik had teleported right behind her, he yanked her away from Leslie who started yelling whilst clutching his head. He dragged her back away from Leslie before the area changed around them, finding herself on some sort of mansion or house. A grand looking bedroom to be exact. Ruvik pushed her violently away from him and let her get her bearings, though she didn't seem to need it as she span around and glared at him.
'Why do you keep doing that!' She mentally yelled at him, astonishing him with the volume of her voice in his head, before it was just above a whisper, now it was booming, he guessed it was because of her mood. He said nothing as he stood and watched her look away frustratingly and looked around the room.
The room was pretty big for a bedroom, with a grand four poster bed at the far end facing sideways, and a desk opposite it. Big windows complimented the room, although they were blocked with crimson curtains the candle light gave the room an eerie feel.
He watched in silence as she strolled towards the desk, drifting her fingers across it as if memorising every ditch and crevice the desk obtained over the years. Just like she always managed to do, he felt the hate and anger leave him, even when she was angry at him he couldn't help obsess over her more. He couldn't wait till he obtained that new body, Leslie, and walk out of this prison with her. Maybe he had found his Laura again? No. Although Sparrow was a lot like her, nobody could replace Laura. But in the same way nobody could replace Sparrow, they were both so unique. Ruvik wondered what it would have been like if Laura and Sparrow met, sure enough Laura would have showered her in the same love she showered Ruvik. Oh how he missed her.
'Something happened earlier' her thoughts interrupted his,'something... That, I can't remember but everyone else could' she awkwardly explained.
"I know, I saw" Ruvik said, still as emotionless as ever.
'Then tell me!' She urged, stepping towards him with pleading eyes.
"Are you sure?" He asked, he knew she was going to find out some time or another, and unlike Jimenez he's been wanting to tell her since they met.
'Yes please! Tell me what's happening' she pleaded.
Ruvik walked up to her and stared into her eyes, he wasn't sure if she could cope with the truth, but he had to find out. Putting a hand on her hair, he watched as he combed out the tangles before leaning in and connecting his forehead with hers, noting her change in breathing pattern, and her thumping heart, making him smirk
"I can't tell you" he whispered, he saw her eyebrows narrow immediately.
'But you said-'
"But I can show you" he said before the room distorted around them, swirling around like a vortex, and the whole time Sparrow couldn't stop staring into his piercing white eyes.
AN/ DUN DUN DUUUUUUN OMG been wanting to get to this part for so long yu guys will know my plan finally :D anyway hope you like ! Plz review of you enjoyed it or not it will help me improve :3
