Ryland chuckled, "Keep going strong, Conrad. You can make it."

"Shut UP!" The last word was torn out of Tom with a scream as his shoulder was wrenched out of position; unused to carrying the stocky body of the man.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 12:43 pm

Ryland tutted at the man and stayed silent, smirking at his misfortune.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 12:47 pm

Whimpering at the added pain, Tom tried to drag his body up with one arm. If he'd been one of the protectors he might have managed it, but Tom was not muscular, nor particularly thin.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 12:50 pm

"Need some help?" Ryland pushed away from the wall, still smirking smugly.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 12:51 pm

He refused to give up, attempting to pull his shaking body up the final step. One more step Conrad. You can do it...

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:08 pm

Ryland watched, raising an eyebrow.

Tom always set himself impossible goals; in elementary school he'd wanted to beat his classmates in the running race, middle school he'd wanted to pass Math and he'd aimed to score with the most popular girl in high school. This was the most impossible, and this was the one he had to achieve.

Ryland wondered where exactly Tom thought he was going since he knew the Meagan like the back of his hand and shrugged as he settled to watch again.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:21 pm

Tom made a triumphant noise as he struggled over the final step. He shuddered at the thought of the task that lay ahead of him and began to drag himself down the corridor.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:29 pm

Ryland realized he wouldn't be able to see if he didn't climb up the stairs so he followed.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:31 pm

Tom raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have better things to do with your time?"

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:39 pm

"Nothing more amusing," Ryland chuckled.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:43 pm

"Being a vampire leader must be really boring then." Tom observed, pulling himself backwards.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:49 pm

"Men with crushed legs don't try to escape the Meagan everyday," Ryland pointed out.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 1:50 pm

Tom gave Ryland a patently blank look. "Really? Wow. I was under the impression I was one of many." His remaining arm gave way and he whimpered.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:15 pm

"Done?" Ryland leaned down to look at Tom closer. "Here let me help you. It will be like phoning a friend." Ryland grunted and used his body to transfer some of Tom's pain to Mikey.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:17 pm

"What are you doing?" Tom gasped as some of his pain alleviated.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:23 pm

"Russell's helping you," Ryland grinned. "He's used to this. Now see how far you can get."

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:24 pm

Tom's eyes widened. "Stop it!" He choked out. "Don't!"

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:35 pm

"Crawl," Ryland ordered, not stopping.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:11 pm

Tom wrenched his body away, shaking.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:15 pm

"Crawl as far as you can," Ryland smirked, still transferring pain.

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:16 pm

"Stop it!" Tom begged. "Please!"

Subject: Re: Victory Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:19 pm

Wren ran up to Ryland, but then saw Tom and stopped sharp. "...I won't ask." she decided at last before snapping her gaze to Ryland. "Damian took the Spindler again."
