"Ruvik." Sparrow called out his name as they entered a corridor which held the treatment rooms. Sparrow recognized the rooms from Wrens memories to be the ones she was held in when she took over. "What will happen when you take over Leslie's body? Will Leslie's conscious still be there?"
"Leslie will be gone if I enter and control his body, if I am somehow transported back out of his body then he will regain control over his own body again." Ruvik stated as he stared into the one way mirror in the room; he recalled being in that room, watching Wren as she thrashed about, screaming and yelling. "But that will be impossible- once I enter my vessel then I will be in it permanently."
Sparrow thought about his answer whilst her fingers traced over the chair in the middle of the room, leather straps on each arm and two legs. Wren's raging face flashed in her mind. She bit a nurse here once when she tried to stick a needle into her skin. The thought brought a gentle smile to her face.
"I honestly don't know whether I should be trying to kill you or help you." Sparrow muttered, causing Ruvik to stare at her from across the room before walking up to her.
"Trying to kill me won't stop the inevitable." He said in his usual rough voice before leaning in close, making sure his lips just about brushed her ear. "I will obtain my vessel one way or another." he whispered harshly.
Sparrow found herself holding her breath, as if the feeling of her breath would send Ruvik into a rage. She still couldn't figure him out. He was a murderer, a sociopath who experimented on other beings for the sake of a machine called STEM which she now knew was the machine he planned to use to get his sister back. But what was Sparrow in all this? She knew she held something for the man in the tattered white coat and to some degree she knew he liked her in some way and whether that was because she looked like his sister or not she had yet to find out.
"And my machine worked, STEM worked," He muttered, bringing Sparrow out of her daze and look up into his white eyes, "You're cured." he said not disconnecting his stare into her eyes.
Suddenly his white irises expanded and glowed brightly before consuming her vision, she brought her hands up to shield herself instinctively before the glow faded and she heard some familiar voices.
"Birdy?" Leslie tentatively clutched his best friends hand as they sat in his bed in the dark.
The 13 year old Sparrow looked over to him questioningly before squeezing his hand reassuringly. Neither of them could get to sleep so sometimes they would lay awake together. Since Ruvik gave her their room keys, she had been seeing him a lot after they were sent to bed. The nurses would patrol the corridors but they never looked into their rooms unless they were making an unusual noise so Sparrow wasn't particularly worried.
"Are w-we ever ever ever ever getting out?" He stuttered, staring at her shadowed face, the light provided was the moon peeking through Leslie's small window. Sparrow shrugged in reply. Seeing his nervous position on the bed, Sparrow leaned over and kissed his forehead. In return Leslie leaned into Sparrow and wrapped his arms around her waist, nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck like he always did. "I hope hope, we do." he muttered before lifting his legs over her outstretched ones so that she was essentially cradling him. "I hope hope hope, my parents come soon soon."
The thought of Leslies's parents actually coming to take Leslie away terrified her, she didn't want him to go; if they were going to get out it was going to be together. Sparrow rubbed her hand up and down his back comfortably before kissing the top of his head again.
"N-No!" Sparrow reached out to her younger self and Leslie as they faded and got absorbed into the white light, "I'm not helping you Ruvik!" she yelled into the nothingness around her.
"I'm not letting Leslie get trapped again! He's already spent all his life stuck in the hospital and hospice he doesn't need to be stuck inside his own mind as well!" Sparrow cried into the white space around her.
Suddenly the space began to get darker and darker, turning to gray before pitch black.
"Is that what you think?" Ruvik's rough voice whispered into her ear but as she spun around he was nowhere to be seen. "I thought I made it clear, one way or another I will get my vessel."
"I won't let you get Leslie, even if you have to kill me." Sparrow shouted confidently into the darkness around her, but her confidence soon disintegrated once she heard his chuckle repeat over and over around her, like a broken song repeating one part over and over again.
Suddenly the chuckling stopped and as Sparrow stepped back she felt herself collide with something solid. She knew it could only be one person.
"My, my little bird, such strong words," He said, emotionless, into her ear, "but when I said I will obtain my vessel I didn't necessarily mean Leslie alone."
Her eyes widened at that, she didn't know who else could possibly be compatible. Sebastian? Joseph?
Suddenly from the corner of her eye she saw a pale figure in the distance, his waddling walk gave Sparrow a confirmation on who he was.
"Leslie!" she gasped and went to step forward but before she could get any further a hand clasped around her wrist, stopping her. The darkness around her shifted and moved until dark hands emerged from the ground and crawled their way towards the unsuspecting Leslie. The mass of hands continues to grow as they got nearer and nearer to Leslie.
"Let me go!" Sparrow yelled before yanking her hand away from Ruvik who now stood behind her.
"Go with Leslie and I'll never protect you again. I'll never hold back from trying to harm you. Go to Leslie and I'll take it as betrayal." Ruvik threatened, making Sparrow halt in her steps and look back at Ruvik in disbelief.
"So be it." Sparrow muttered as she narrowed her eyes at Ruvik. Turning back, she ran towards Leslie, past the eager hands trying to get to the unsuspecting boy.
As she ran, the place around her wobbled and distorted before it transformed into what she knew was the hospital corridor belonging to patients with severe conditions who had to stay in strait jackets and padded rooms. Nearing Leslie, the room had fully stopped distorting and was now just hosting Leslie in the middle of it.
"Leslie?" Sparrow asked the albino boy as he shuffled from one foot to another nervously, but at the sound of his name, Leslie turned. Seeing his best friend again, Leslie's face broke in a bright smile and he rushed towards Sparrow.
"Birdy!" He shouted the lifelong nickname he gave to Sparrow as they hugged each other tightly. As they separated Sparrow leaned forward and placed a kiss upon Leslie's forehead, making him smile in return.
"You stick by me from now on yeah?" Sparrow asked and Leslie nodded eagerly as he took Sparrows hand and starting leading her down the corridor.
"This way." He stated as they started walking.
'When I said I will obtain my vessel I didn't necessarily mean Leslie alone,' Ruvik's words continued to echo into her mind, trying to solve what he meant.
'If he meant he can possess another person who is compatible, then I guess I don't mind,' Sparrow thought to herself, 'As long as it isn't Leslie.'
Sparrow echoed the hard truth over and over inside her head. She didn't care if it was someone else, as long as it wasn't her Leslie.
