When Zero jumped out the window and landed on the ground, Doll whimpered. It hurt to move, to be moved, even with the pain medicine. The cold didn't help either of course, but Ren covering her with his jacket did to some degree make it better. Inside the house, Xavier turned to the Doc. "You coming?" He asked and the Doctor shook his head. "My job here isn't done. Don't worry Xavier, we'll meet again." He handed the boy his jacket. Xavier shrugged it on, looking down. The white haired Being seemed to have a friend who jumped right up to the window.
"Let's do this." Xavier smiled, giddy with excitement. The Doctor handed him a pair of surgical scissors and Xavier used it to tear through the collar, depositing it out the window and into the bushes. He was finally gonna be free, no longer fearing every day when the Lord came home, when he was requested in the bedroom. No more shame and embarrassment or punishment for not being the perfect pet. Screw being a pet altogether, Xavier was gonna run away to some human colony and never look back. He took the kid's hand without hesitation.
The ocean was warm, glittering blue with technicolor streaks from the sun. Her lungs hurt, feeling as though they were going to burst at any moment. Doll sank deeper down and the further she moved from the surface, the darker it got. Above people kept trying to reach for her, they continued in their efforts to pull her back but was impossible to hear them and she didn't know how to swim back up. Why did they want her so badly anyways? Couldn't they simply leave her here, in the warm ocean that embraced her like a blanket on a cold winter day. Their lives would be better without her, no doubt, she was a bother anyways.
How did she end up underwater anyways? Doll had a vague recollection of falling through a window. Had she been on a boat? No, that wasn't right. She tried to move, tried to swim back up. A sudden sense of urgency filled her body, the need to breathe, to break the surface. A wave pushed her further down, carrying a voice with it. "This doesn't look good Zero," a male spoke, his voice laced with concern. "I'll do what I can, but don't be upset if she doesn't wake up."
Wake up? Doll wasn't sleeping. She tried to scream, to tell them she was down there, in the water, but when she opened her mouth, the taste of bitter salt water touched her tongue. "I'm down here!" Doll flailed in the sea, another wave knocking her over.
"Don't give up on me yet."
