He squeaked as he pulled on him, expecting to be the one grabbing her not the other way around. He followed, ignoring the growing pain in his inflamed lungs. Once she jerked him to the right, he took a few longer strides, turning into the leading. He pulled her quickly out the door, taking a sharp turn twords the way he had came, trying to recall the various twisting maze of alleys. "You o.k.?" he squeezed out, focusing back to trying to keep the pace they had set. He cringed as pain surged through his ribcage, and he stumbled slightly, leading into sliding down the small decrease.

Melody was panting heavily, a lot of her energy drained as the blood continued to drip down her arm. That cut was getting serious now, and would need proper looking after soon, as long as they could escape the pirates. Her legs felt like they were going to buckle under her but she pushed on, not wanting to be caught again. If they were recaptured, it was most likely their lives. Suddenly, she felt Edmy jerk her down as he fell down the incline, and she let out an 'eep' as she followed suit.
Mel closed her eyes and gripped onto Edmy's arm tightly, scared enough as it was. She felt her side burn as the rough ground rushed against it, and she closed her eyes tighter. Suddenly, they slowed down and came to a stop as the incline straightened out. The girl didn't open her eyes, and still clamped tightly to Edmy's arm, trying to keep herself from crying again.

"Sorry..." he mumbled, standing abruptly upright. He pulled her up, jerking his hand back as it covered quickly in blood. He cringed, wiping it across his already ruined shirt. "Come on. I'm not better off", he wheezed. He couldn't see over the top of the incline from the bottom, but by what he could hear their sudden disappearance had them slightly confused. He brushed the hair out of her eyes, crouching down. "M'mmm, come on. I'll carry you to somewhere safe", he told her softly, motioning for her to get on.

Melody looked back over he shoulder anxiously as Edmy helped her up, shivering in fear as she thought they had caught up to them. Luckily, it looked like they weren't too swift, just powerful. Her chin quivering, she looked back over to Edmy and smiled as he brushed her bangs back, rubbing her arms with her hands. She was smearing blood all over the place, but she was really cold now. As Edmy bent down, she smiled again and her gaze turned softer.
"Thanks,"Was all Mel could manage to get out. She slowly got onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck, being careful not to get her blood all over him. She rested her chin on his shoulder and smiled, finally feeling safe.

Edmy smiled in return, "Ready?" He slowly started into the maze they called town, surprised that she was lighter than he expected. He worked tword a mild jog, twisting down back streets. He had figured after a while they would give up, but kept his pace as brisk as he could manage. Edmy practically had a heart attack as the old woman popped around from a corner, grabbing lightly onto his arm. He sighed in relief, realizing it was her, following her hobbling pace down a final alley. She propped open the back door, and he walked in, going directly down the hallway and into the sitting area he had been in before. He slowly set Melody down, smiling over his shoulder, "She's cool", flicking his head twords the widow.
She made way over, "So ya got 'er 'eetie? Good. You. sit." she motioned at Melody, pointing at the musty recliner she ahd banished Edmy to.

Mel watched the dark buildings as they went past them, wondering if Edmy really knew where he was going or just taking random pathways. She tilted her head and rose a brow. Everything looked all the same to her and it was very dark. Sighing, she rested her head on Edmy's back and closed her eyes. She didn't care where they went, just anywhere away from those pirates.
As Edmy's pace slowed down, Melody's eyes flickered open and she saw a dark shape in front of them. Her body immediately tensed up and she tried to see who this person was. Edmy seemed to know her or at least trust her, so it must not be a pirate. As they went into a lighted room, Mel blinked her eyes rapidly to get used to it, and took in the area that surrounded her.
As Edmy put her down, Melody nearly toppled over. She was feeling sort of light headed all of a sudden. She wasn't sure if it was from the large bump on the back of her head or from the blood that was still dripping from her arm. Rubbing her eyes with the back of her cleaner hand, she finally got a good look at the lady. She looked rather old and wasn't dressed the best, but at least she had given them safety in her house. As she motioned for her to get in the chair, she looked over to Edmy with a sort of reluctant look on her face before stumbling over to the chair, sitting delicately on the edge of it.

Edmy caught the dark bottle as the Widow chucked it at him. He rolled the bottle over, reading the clear label as 'Peroxide'.
"Clean 'er up a bit then ya can sleep. If you need any thang, ol' Nana's going to be in 'er room... In the mornin' I'll finish that up" she told him over her shoulder, going back down the hallway and disappearing into room.
He nodded in response, turning to Melody. The rest of the bandages sat on a side table, along with the munny he had left behind. "Well I guess this means I get to play doctor once more..." he trailed off, seating himself on the floor beside her feet. He held out a hand to take her arm but asked her quickly, "Unless you want to do it yourself"

Melody still looked rather anxious as the women left, like she didn't trust her fully yet. She shifted her position in her seat, her hands resting on her knees. Well, she did give them a place to stay and she should be thankful for that. Letting out a small yawn, she looked over to Edmy as he asked her if she wanted him to do.
"I think you should do it. Knowing me, I'd end up hurting myself more." Letting out a small laugh, she finally looked over at her arm, wincing at the sight of the blood. Carefully, she tried to unwrap the used gauze from the wounded, clenching her teeth as it pulled from her wound.

He raised a brow, shooing her hand away. "How is that like you?" He slowly plucked off another piece, using his free hand to turn her head away. "Don't look, only makes it hurt worse." He plucked off a remaining piece, grabbing behind him for the bottle, plucking a cotton ball out of the bag attached to it. He tipped it over, dousing the harmless cotton, giving no warning before he pressed it to the base of the wound. Edmy made sure not to look at her face, trying avoid getting a guilt trip. Sometimes playing doctor wasn't his thing.

Melody let out a small 'eep' as Edmy placed the stinging liquid on her wound without warning, grabbing onto her pant leg to try and ignore the pain. Dammit, why the hell didn't he warn her first. She normally would have cursed him out, but she couldn't. He was helping her and that would make her seem like a bitch. Taking in a deep breath, she closed her gray eyes and tried to relax. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes again and let her breath out. Yea, that wasn't working.
Sighing, Mel just bit her lip and decided to just deal with it. She had suffered enough pain today, this little bit more wasn't going to kill her. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes real quick before looking back over to Edmy to see if he was almost done.

"Little more" he mumbled, grabbing a clean swab and repeating the process on the remaining half. After a few seconds he stood up, tossing both used wads into a nearby trash can. "Wasn't that bad was it?" Edmy yawned, slumping into the nearby couch. He was physically exhausted, and figured he had just done about 24 hours with that small half-hour nap in the middle. Even though it was rather used and lumpy piece of furniture it felt soothing, and he almost dozed off before realizing he forgot to cover her wound. He lazily pointed to the bandages on the end-table, not wanting to walk back over there.

Mel shrugged as Edmy finished and watched him walk over to the couch, collapsing on it. She made a face and tilted her head. So, was she just going to have this thing bleed out onto the lady's chair all night? the girl was about to say something when the boy pointed to a small table. A bunch of bandages were sitting on top of it and she narrowed her eyes. Guess I have to do it myself. The girl nearly growled as she got up from the chair and stumbled over to the table, grabbing onto it to catch her balance.
Mel rose a brow and looked through the array of medical supplies. She looked at them with an empty stare. She didn't know how the hell to use any of this stuff. Sighing, she grabbed a roll of what seemed to be absorbent cloth and looked at it. She guessed that would do. Shaking her head, she unrolled it and wrapped it around her arm, making sure to keep the pressure on it so the blood would clot.
Once she finished, Melody yawned and went back over to the chair, falling back on it. She just realized how tired she was, and that she was cold too. Damn pirates. she could have gotten her jacket fixed by now and be nice and warm. But no, now she was freezing and n the worst pain of her life. Sighing, she curled up on the left side of the chair and closed her eyes.

Edmy watched her exhausted eyes, waiting for her to sit back down before rolling over to bury his face into the couch. He fell asleep almost instantly, taking up the majority of the space, smiling softly in his sleep.
He was surprised he slept soundly through the night, waking up to have a finger jabbed harshly to his temple. Nana and a strange man stood before him, and he slowly slid of the couch. Nothing was said as the man sat down, the side of his face covered in an array of scratches. ".....?" he glanced at a oddly-placed sailor themed clock that hung crookedly on the wall, making it out to be still semi-early in the morning. He yawned, watching her attend to the wounded man, glancing around to see if there was somewhere else he could crash. The only place was beside Melody, and he slowly slid into the empty spot on the side of her, half on the arm rest.

It had taken Mel at least a half hour until she fell asleep, and once she did she was sound. Nothing was going to wake her up until she decided to herself. When Edmy slid into the empty spot to her right, the girl didn't even notice and slept for a while more.
After about another hour had past, Mel yawned and turned over to the other side, waking up finally. She opened her eyes only slightly at first, trying to adjust them to the sudden light. Her eyes widened as she saw the sleeping form of Edmy beside her and her face turned bright pink.
"Ahh!" Melody let out a short scream and fell out of the chair as she jumped in surprise. She mumbled under her breath and rubbed the back of her head which she hit again. Peeking over the side of the chair, she wanted to see if she had woken Edmy up.

Edmy had woken up instantly, greeting Melody with a small wave and a half-assed grin. He yawned, standing up, reaching a hand down to her. "Sorry. Nana woke me up and told me to move cause of him...", he gestured twords the couch. He did a double take, then another one. Where the hell had that guy gone?!? Edmy spun around, utterly confused. The couch had a new puddle of blood, and he assumed that clearly he hadn't been dreaming about it. "...Nana?" he called down the hallway. He noticed that all of the doors were wide open, and he scratched absent mindedly at the back of his head, realizing slwoly they were the only two souls in the house. He hit his head lightly against the wall, coming to the conclusion that to Melody he must now look like a pedophile disgused cleverly as a minor.
