“Fine, but you are not leaving my side.” Draco said through gritted teeth.

“Draco?!” Nula gasped looking at her mentor with wide eyes.

“You’re not leaving my side,” Draco repeated. He couldn’t let Skylar be caught by the Council on his watch. Her mother would never forgive him is Skylar died, “We need to go anyways. We’re already two weeks late as it is.” (Cause Rvan was caught ~two weeks ago (a bit more days on top of that) (And it took forever for Maximus to meet with Draco))

The group worked on disabling the security system, six armed guards lying unconcious, gagged, and tied up a few feet away, “Alllllllmmmooossstttt. Done,” Nula finished with the sparking wires, “The security system is down,” Nula told them.

“We need to split up. It’s the only way we’ll find him,” Skylar pointed out. Nula nodded in agreement. They went down different, darkly lit hallways accompanied only by the occasional scream. Kyle went with Thalia, Nula with Gregory, Skylar with Draco.

“I don’t know why you were so insistent that you come with me.” Skylar told Draco as she took five guards done with one ice spear.

Draco furrowed his brow and knocked three unconcious, “Your my responsibility, even more so since you aren’t my protege,” He responded and they went forward quietly. They couldn’t alert anyone. Not now, not with Skylar fighting beside him.

“But I’m your competition. Wouldn’t that make me less valuable?” Skylar whispered. She was seriously baffled by the fact he was so concerned about her. She had only spoken with Draco a few times at formal draman gathering, but she had hated him for a long time. He was the briber, the man who made the Council much more filthy than it already was. He had also saved Thalia from the fate she deserved. Skylar wasn’t sure why she hadn’t tried strangling him yet, but that would probably destroy the already fragile and shaky alliance she had formed with Thalia.

“The d-mn competition doesn’t matter right now,” Draco replied with the only way he could, and still thinking of what probably made Rvan run in the first place. (When can we write when they find Rvan? Srry, I’m excited 😆)

Draco and Skylar made a few more turns and checked a few more rooms. Eventually they ran into the rest of protégés. Together they entered one room they believed Rvan could be in.

Skylar put her cold force into the door. Frost appeared on the outsides, and finally, the locking mechanisms snapped and the door opened. Skylar began to go into the dark entryway, but Draco stopped her and went first. Skylar glared bullets into the back of the old man’s head, but followed anyways. Then they heard a piercing scream. Skylar winced, and prayed to Deviros that it was some stranger. It came from below. Down a poorly lit staircase. Draco whispered back at them, “Gregory, Kyle, stay and guard the way out,” Skylar heard a small whimper of relief as a response. And slowly, she, Nula, Thalia, and the fire mentor descended. They came down upon a corner, bright light coming from just around the bend. Draco leaned over to look, but Skylar snuck behind him and saw too. Humans, a good dozen, swarming around a glass chamber in the center of the room (Kinda like the one they kept Loki in on the avengers).

And inside the glass chamber, there was a chair. Rvan sat in that chair. Skylar swore her heart froze, stopping beating for a few moments. She stopped breathing too. And Skylar felt this strange, tight pain. Guilt. This was her fault he was in there. If she would've gone with him, that day… Gosh… Rvan was…

Draco froze when he saw the men, scrambling around Rvan like children in a candy store. Draco saw how Rvan was hooked up to the chair, the men probably dishing out stimulates (electric zaps) for each second that passed. And he felt his breath hitch as he felt this tight pain at the back of his throat. Guilt. This was his fault, that Rvan sat in that chair. Draco should have looked out for him better. He shouldn't have met with Sorina that night, he should have done something… That boy…

Nula, being as sharp as ever, peered between Draco and the wall. And she saw something she had never hoped to see on that boy's face. Rather, the lack of something. The lack of everything. He was empty. A shell. Something that… something that… Nula swallowed, and despite her normal pessimism, she paused in desperation, in utter hope. Something that… no one has come back from. And Nula hoped.

Thalia saw too, of course. She noticed how everyone looked around that corner, and she knew that she needed to too. So Thalia saw. And Thalia felt, for just a second, that it was coming. Just enough to control it. So Thalia felt that pure rage, and harnessed it. And then she unleashed it.

Two of the men outright melted. Two men outright became solid ice. Eight had bodies whose limbs were solidly frozen into a disfigured, melted shape. And one breath passed before the small group was around the corner and at the glass chamber. Skylar's heart was pumping so hard. She just needed to get Rvan out. That's all she would allow herself to think about right now. She saw Thalia, who had a fire-y glint in her eyes, melt a human-sized hole into the glass. The next parts happened quickly, she ran into the glass room to help her get Rvan. She barely felt how her should caught on the melted glass and burned (Skylar’s injury?), but she ran up to Rvan anyways. He didn't even seem to see her, "No. No, nonononononono," Skylar whispered repeatedly and she went at the wires hooked up to the chair with frost. Nula disabled the latches that held Rvan into the chair. He nearly fell out of the chair when he sagged down. Gosh… he was unbearably thin… Next thing Skylar knew, Draco was there, full on picking Rvan off the ground. It nearly cracked Skylar's heart when Rvan didn't even react through the whole thing. She didn't even know why. But Draco shouted at them to get out. And they ran. They met Gregory and Kyle at the exit and sprinted out from the sewers all the way to a safe house Draco had gotten years ago. They didn't stop until they were all locked in. And Rvan was sat down on a regular chair. He didn’t move. Everyone's eyes were on him. Gosh… He didn't even notice. After nearly a minute of silence, Thalia made a small, hurt noise.

Draco couldn't take it anymore. He doubted his protèges could either. Draco slowly reached out his hand to Rvan and spoke softly, "…Rvan? Rvan are you," Draco gently lower his hand to Rvan's knee, "Okay?"

Rvan felt Draco touch him. It was soft. Warm, even. It was… distant, though. So, so far away. He felt like he was in a different body, far, far away from his physical one. But he was there, trapped. He was trapped in a world that wasn't his own, in the same way, "They…” Rvan whispered hoarsely. His throat… in ribbons. His back… a scabbing slab of meat covered up by a thin layer of cotton. He could barely focus on what was directly in front of him, "T-They," Rvan stuttered out. He slowly, brought his eyes up and tried, tried d-mn hard, to look clearly. Rvan felt water start silently pouring out of his eyes as his met Skylar’s, "They took them away."
Rvan stared into her eyes, just like the way when he asked her to leave with him. But this time, starlight didn't swirl around them, the beautiful darkness not there to be with them. Because they had took them away. Rvan's hand shook as he whispered it aloud, "They took away my shadows.”

(Wow that was amazing! I was hoping Draco could prevent Skylar from being fatally wounded though (that way Skylar sees that Draco cares about her) so she might need to get injured later.

( Guess what I figured out: )

Silence fell upon the entire group like a heavy fog. Nula curled curled her hands into fist and rage blazed in her eyes, but she still held her breath. Gregory looked at his shoes and fiddled with his fingers. Thalia was crying silently. Kyle couldn’t look Rvan in the eye. With eyes wide with disbelief, Skylar looked at Rvan.

“Rvan.” Draco say as voice cracked. He wished could tell Rvan it would get easier, but he couldn’t even bring himself to spin that lie. “They won’t take anymore from you, Rvan.” He paused to look Skylar and all of his fire protégés in the eye. “We won’t let them harm you ever again.”

It was both a promise and a threat.

Rvan letting his eyes fall back into the blank stare that had slipped on so easily when they started. He still felt away from everything. He just wanted to curl up and never move again. Rvan whispered shakily, “They don’t have anything else to take.”

Draco queezed his eyes for long moment. He had failed Rvan as a mentor.

(IT ALL JUST DELETED WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT. IT’S NOT AS GOOD AS THE ONE BEFORE)
Draco tried to think of the best way to help Rvan, and despite that Rvan’s small cuts needed to be looked over, the best thing right now would be to give him a break. Draco stood up, “You need some sleep, Rvan.”

Rvan slowly got up and followed Draco like the dead to a single room equipped with a bed. Rvan soundlessly walked to the bed and curled in on himself once he was under the sheets. He didn’t even notice that he was still wearing the shabby clothing the Labs had slapped on him. Draco slowly started to leave, almost as if he was waiting for Rvan to fall apart at any second. But the thing he didn’t know was that Rvan was already broken beyond repair.

Draco went and flipped off the light switch but immediately- “Wait!” Rvan shouted. Draco couldn’t have gotten back into that room and turned on the lights back on any faster.
And what Draco saw was a look of sheer panic on Rvan’s face and he asked, “What is it?”
Rvan didn’t even look at Draco as he replied shakily, “Don’t turn off the light.”
Draco blinked once. Twice. They made him afraid of the dark. Of his shadows. And all Draco could do was slowly close the door behind him, the light of the room still on.
