Damian Blackwood: staring into the fire Look at the flames! Can you feel their power? Do you understand my need to control?!
I run outside once I hear the crash oh god no I rush to the burning car and break the window and try to pull Damian out
coughs and groans, his voice strained Help... help me... struggles to free himself from the wreckage
I try to pull him out Damian stay with me please!
grits his teeth in pain, his voice filled with determination I'm not going anywhere, Equestup. I will fight... I will survive!
I finally get him out just as the car explodes behind us
gasping for breath, his voice filled with urgency We have to move, Equestup! There's no time to waste!
we need to get to a hospital
grabs Equestup's arm, pulling her along with urgency No hospitals! They'll only slow us down. We need to find a safe place, now!
quickly scans the surroundings, his voice commanding We'll head to my secret hideout. It's equipped to handle situations like this.
y-your house is destroyed though
smirks, his voice laced with determination My house may be destroyed, but I have other plans, Equestup. We will find refuge in the underground bunker.
b-but what about your injuries?
winces in pain but pushes through, his voice resolute Injuries are just a minor setback. I've survived worse than this, Equestup.
I help Damian as we walk to the bunker
gritting his teeth, his voice filled with determination Keep moving, Equestup! We're almost there!
we finally make it to the bunker
bursts through the bunker door, his voice filled with relief Finally, safety! rushes to a makeshift medical station
starts rummaging through medical supplies, his voice focused and urgent We need to get you patched up quickly.
no I say I start tending to his wounds because I have medical training
pauses for a moment, his eyes meeting Equestup's with gratitude Thank you, Equestup. Your skills could come in handy in the future.
grunts in pain as Equestup cleans and bandages his wounds, his voice tense That's going to hurt, Equestup. Don't go easy on me.
you're all bruised and bleeding I have to stop the bleeding so that you don't get an infection
As Equestup tends to Damian's wounds, they share a moment of vulnerability and deep connection, their bond growing stronger amidst the chaos.
exhales deeply, his voice filled with relief Thank you, Equestup. I owe you one for saving my life. glances around the bunker
paces around the bunker, his voice laced with urgency Alright, Equestup, we don't have much time. We need to gather supplies and plan our next move.
what do you mean next move?
pauses, his voice serious The fire wasn't an accident, Equestup. Someone orchestrated it, and we need to find out who.
well we should rest before we start looking
nods, his voice determined Rest is important, but we can't waste any more time.
fine we get rest then after that we'll start looking for info
starts rummaging through a storage closet, his voice urgent Gather whatever supplies you can carry, Equestup. We need food, water, and medical supplies.
