Concordia: Prison Cells

Malikye tilted his head to the side and grinned wolfishly. “Yes. You should trust me for there is nobody here within this castle that is trustworthy. I can free you from this prison cell, just give me a moment or so to plan the details of our escape. We will need.” The white wolf stepped away from the bars connecting their cells and went to sit upon the small pallet of blankets lumped together in the far corner. His eyes closed but opened a second later, the pupils no longer blue as they were covered with a sheen of white. He seemed to be some sort of hypnosis state, but in truth, he was communicating with his pack.

Earth: The Hospital

Corissa woke to find the white face of some man close to hers. He had a stethoscope around his neck and held the cold, shiny part against her skin where he listened to the beating of her heart. The man looked somewhat perplexed and when he realized she was awake, he pulled away and stuffed both hands into his white jacket.

“Hello, Corissa. I am Dr. Aikenhead and I have been treating you since the ambulance arrived with you. You have suffered numerous wounds: a couple of broken ribs, both arms have minor fractures, your shin had a big gash and your ankle also had minor fractures. I was worried about your nose because it looked to have been broken several time. In fact, I was altogether surprised you survived the injuries. And now—I have to say, I am quite shocked.”

He lifted a hand and rubbed his smooth chin, then pushed the nose of his glasses before returning his hand to his pocket. “Your face is not as bruised as it was yesterday, in fact, it almost looks completely healed. I want to take another x-ray of your bones and see how they are healing as well. How are you feeling?”
Corissa smirked, knowing exactly what it was that sped up the healing process. “I am feeling much better, actually. Do you think I will be able to leave today, Dr. Aikenhead?”

Clasping his hands together behind his back, he shrugged. “I will need to check out your x-rays first and see how well your bones are healing. Then, we will see about releasing you. I will have the nurse in here within the next thirty minutes.” With that, the doctor left the room. Remembering Scythe, she looks around to see him sitting in the chair next to her and his eyes were closed. She wondered if she was still asleep or if he’d heard the entire exchange between herself and Dr. Aikenhead. What a funny name…

Earth: Ireland “Castle Hotel”- at the pool

Sorcha had found her way down to the pool and now sat with her feet submerged below the water. She knew Reicha was close by somewhere and the felt safe even though the woman was a Bounty Hunter. Sorcha knew Reicha would hold true to their pact. Sighing softly, she leans back and looks up at the sky and to the stars that were arranged in the same way as the stars covering the Concordia night sky. It was odd, this world. Everything was so similar, but yet so different. The people spoke the same language, even had similar accents, while others spoke an entirely different language she’d never heard. Earth wasn’t too bad of a world. Lost in her thoughts, she jumped at the sound of Masaharu’s voice and turned to find him walking towards her and speaking at the same time. She smiled softly and patted the empty space beside her. “Come, Masaharu. Sit with me and tell me what thoughts plague your mind.”

Back in the hotel room, Saige had turned on the television, already having made the decision to accompany the Princess on her journey. She didn’t anything about what tv shows Irish people watched, but she managed to find something decent: a movie about some weirdo and his girlfriend robbing some castle.
