Chapter 8: Problems and loads of them

It HAD been around 5 minutes since Brianna had visited and 20 minutes since Astrid had slapped him. Brianna promised she would be back after she went to go get some help after attempting to open the door. Now Sam sat on the bed with his back to the bathroom. He'd been sitting there and wondering who Brianna was going to get. He was relatively deep in thought when he heard a small creak and the condescending sound of footsteps.

"I'm sorry Sam, for everything, really. I didn't mean for things to come this far, I-I-I-w-w-was just upset a-a-and sc-sc-scared." Wailing the last part Astrid broke into full sobs.

"Hey, hey, hey hey" Sam whispered in a soft tone taking her into his arms, and stroking her hair. Astrid sobbed into his shoulder overwhelmed by the guilt she felt for putting Sam in the situation she did last night. Sam pulled away, then took Astrid's hand and led her to the sofa. There he sat down and pulled Astrid onto his lap.

"Ok now tell me why are you crying?"

"I-I'm s-sorry Sam, I-I-I was just so sc-sc-scared, I didn't know what to do I j-j-j-just ran sand th-th-then I h-h-heard about my d-d-dad-" she buried her face in his shoulder and started crying again.

Sam felt really guilty he was partly responsible for Astrid being upset, no doubt she would be upset about her father's death but he also added to the pain she was feeling right now. Astrid had now stopped crying and all Sam could hear was the odd sniffling. She turned her head so it now rested against Sam's chest.

"I'm so sorry Sam" she mumbled.

"Shh, shh its okay, I'm sorry too and I promise when we get out of here I'm gonna have more time making you happy and comforting, just being there making you feel safe and happy." Sam smiled looking deep into Astrid's icy blue eyes.

"Promise?" Astrid asked already knowing the answer but wanting to hear it from Sam's lips.

"I promise" He declared before leaning down and capturing Astrid in a soft kiss. It was simple sat first but soon became heated.

Astrid's arm snaked around Sam's neck pulling him closer. Sam put his hand on Astrid's waist steadying her. So she wouldn't fall off his lap. Sam poked his tongue out and ran it along the bottom of Astrid's she moved her hand to the bottom of Sam's shirt and gently started tugging at the hem.

Sam pulled away and Astrid took his shirt of before attaching their lips. Astrid felt Sam's chest it was soft and smooth at touch. She could fell his muscles moving as he stroked her back. Astrid pulled away and tugged her shirt over head. Sam gave her a small peek before moving down to her neck, licking and sucking at her sensitive skin. Astrid threw her head back and moaned, surprising herself and Sam.

He lifted his head and looked at her, really looked at her and loved what he saw. Flushed face, red, puffy lips, dilated pupils and breathe coming out in short gasps. He loved seeing her like this so un-Astrid so not in control of everything, so free flowing letting the wind takes her anywhere.

He leaned down and kissed her again his hand moving to her bra strap."Astrid are yo-"

"Sam, Sam! Are you in there?" Edilio shouted from behind the door.

"Oh I forget to tell you the door is jammed so Brianna (and presumably Edilio) are here to help us open the door, when the owner poofed he must have had the key in his pocket so now we are stuck in here." Sam explained still out of breath.

"I don't mind being stuck in here with you." Astrid her voice still soft yet suggestive.

"I'll be back" Sam said carefully untangling himself from Astrid. He got up and walked over to the door.

"Ok, so what's the problem?" bending down to look through the keyhole.

Edilio and Brianna were examining the door, wondering how they were gonna unlock it.

"Err, Edilio why don't you just do that weird metal thing that you were doing back at Clifftop." Brianna asked.

"The door's wooden, Breeze." Edilio said bluntly.

"Not the door, the lock" Edilio looked at the lock with an uncertain look on his face.

"Breeze, I can't really control it."

"Oh come on, it's not that hard, just put your hand on the lock and picture it unlocking."

"I dunno . . . wait why can't Sam use his power to burn down the door?"

"Because I am not in the forest fire kinda mood." Sam explained voice muffled from behind the door. Edilio craned his head and took in his surroundings. All these trees catching on fire certainly wouldn't be the highlight of his day.

"Edilio you have powers?" Sam asked interrupting his thoughts.

"Yeah." Edilio replied nervous about Sam's reaction.

"That's great man congratulations but if I was you-"

"Don't tell anyone else? Yeah I know. Best to keep this kinfd of thing on a need-to-know basis."

"Good now that we've got that settled, Edilio bust open this door so we can all go home "Brianna ordered.

"Ok . . ." Edilio pressed his hand firmly on the lock, palm first fingers splayed, like he'd seen Sam do many times before. Then he closed his eyes' imagining the door opening.

He imagined the bolts clicking; giro's turning and gears grinding. Soon he could feel the metal moving tiny clicks could be felt from within the door.

Edilio realised just how much he was in control and was happy that it was all going well. He felt himself relaxing and soon his mind began to wonder.

He began recapping the last year. From the beginning of the FAYZ, to the Thanksgiving Battle and from there to digging all those graves, he could never forget all those dead bodies for how injured some of the bodies were.

He then thought about the fight at the mineshaft. He remembered seeing Lana that day. Hair rough and standing on end, her uncharacteristically deep voice, bright green glowing eyes. He remembered talking to her, seeing her hold up the gun, being shot.

BAM! He was jerked away from the memory losing concentration and focus. Even though, this all happened in a matter of seconds the damage had been done. A cry came from within the Caretaker's Quarters and he could hear Sam gasp.

"Edilio stop!" Brianna shouted before rushing forward and yanking his hand away. When Edilio opened his eyes he gasped at the sight before him.

The lock he'd had his hands on, was now twisted in an unnatural way with his handprint imbedded in the middle.

"Ed-E-Edilio . . . what have you done?" Brianna asked still shocked.

"Sam, you guys ok?" Edilio asked.

"Yeah, but the locking mechanism has been fused into the wall."

"What? How are we gonna open the door now?" Brianna asked.

"I have no idea" Edilio whispered.

I'm going on holiday next week so don't an update for a while . . .
