DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono was almost free of the trap, but the blood that had pooled on it made his hands slick enough for his grip to slip and the trap to re-insert, and stick itself deeper...

A godzilla-like screech blasted through the mansion as the teeth was now touching nerve, but he kept trying to pry it off or Ryn would feel even worse at seeing him injure himself just to come to her.

[Entaru]

Y let out a silent laugh.  He's your boyfriend...lets go.  Y stood up and helped Ryn to her feet as well.  Whatever happened it had better be a sirens blaring emergency.

[Shenzii]

I don't know what he is! I don't know what anyone is! She walked down to her corridor. "What the hell did you do?" She crossed her arms at the lizard hanging in her hall.

[Entaru]

Holy crow!  Y grabbed a hold of the edges of the trap and yanked them apart, slicing open his hands.  Chrono dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. **** that hurts  Y stuck his torn up hands in his mouth to soothe them.

[Shenzii]

"Ugh you two!" She went over to Chrono to help him up. "Follow me. Your cuts are deep. We'll stitch you up." She said to Y. She carried Chrono and lead Y to her room.

[Entaru]

I'm fine...I'd be more worried about lizard-lips.  How the hell did a trap like that get into your house?  Y followed, unhurried.  His hands had already stopped bleeding...though he didn't notice.

[Shenzii]

I told him not to wander. I set those up because I used to be a well hunted person. She sat Chrono on her bed and went to fetch gauze and a needle with thread.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono wanted to say no, to tell Ryn not to worry about something he can easily have healed. But the shame from being helped and treated by her made doubts sink in again. "Ryn, am I only making things worse?" he finally asked, rarely seeing her smile at him except for the one time while Y was out cold.

[Shenzii]

Ryn smiled. "only more difficult" she joked. "of course you don't. I just don't know where I am really. Its hard to explain."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Well, then it will be hard for me to understand where you are. I can't read your thoughts since my power is physical, I bet your flames can't actually burn me, just inflict rediculous amounts of pain..." he said, joking back.

[Shenzii]

 Ryn sighed. "you didn't go from being dormant for 20 years to entreating a life that has already been lived so long there's really no way out." she started to stitch his wounds.

[Entaru]

Y piped up in the background like a side character in a sprite comic.  I have 7 years!

((Don't comment on that...just a chibi moment for Y))

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono thought about it for a moment. "Five years isn't that long to escape... I managed to be a child for ten years, a monster for six, then a lover for five other years. I guess I could go back to 'monster'..."

[Shenzii]

"Well I have 20 years. 20 years of knowing no one, loving no one. I need to just figure things out..." She finished Chrono's wounds and looked at Y. "Your turn." She held up a new needle.

[Entaru]

Y grimaced and held out his hands for stitching.  Yay...more pain...I'm starting to regret being alive.
