Take It Away

[Samwise Gamgee]

(Shall they go to sleep now?)

[Broken Angel]

[Yeah sure okay]

*Ellie sat there, slowly drifting to sleep, light still surrounding her. She was feeling warm and safe, all the elements needed for her to sleep. She snuggled closer to Declan and finally, she was asleep, dreaming dreams of happiness and lightness*

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan finally let the sleep overcome him, enjoying the place where there was not even a slight hint of light. This was the only place he could ever really relax, nothing could disturb him here. He shifted slightly, Ellie's head resting on his chest, his arm around her shoulder.

(Meh... sorry for short post!)

[Broken Angel]

**Morning**

*Ellie slowly opened her eyes. There wasn't any difference. She looked up at Declan, restricting her movement so she didn't wake him. She saw he was still asleep, so she thought this would be a good oppurtunity to turn the light on. She looked up at the light and slowly wished it would come on. She smiled as the light filled the room and filled her with happiness. She looked around the room and sighed*

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan slowly opened his eyes, as he felt Ellie move. He groaned... he never really was a good morning person. He had a thumping headache and his joints ached. And to top it all off, as Declan opened his eyes fully, he saw the light had been switched on again. Quickly Declan shut his eyes again, his breathing rapid. He didn't know if he had enough energy to turn the light back off, and didn't really want Ellie to go all scared again

[Broken Angel]

*Ellie looked up at Declan. She bit her lip, she felt really bad now. She didn't have the power to turn lights off, but if she did, she would help him right now*
Declan...are you okay?
*Ellie felt so stupid, of course he wasn't okay*

[Samwise Gamgee]

"Yeah... fine" Declan muttered through gritted teeth. He edged slightly away from Ellie, his hands clenched into fists. Who was turning the goddamn light on?! How he wished he could be back home in his room, where it was pitch dark. Then none of the images would ever come to him. Slowly, his body relaxed. Declan knew he had to be relaxed if he was to turn the light off. With a deep frown of concentration, the light flickered off, once again

[Broken Angel]

*Ellie scurried closer to Declan and buried her head in his chest, not wanting to even get a glimpse of the darkness. This was getting bad. They needed to find a way out of here. Ellie couldn't do anything in the dark. She slowly shuffled away from Declan, keeping her eyes closed and keeping her self in her imaginary light*
Do you think we should see if the door is open?
*Ellie didn't open her eyes at all, she kept them closed but still moved her head to face Declan*

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan opened his eyes, smiling into the darkness. He had only known it was dark again by Ellie scurrying over to him. "Yeah, that would be a good idea," Declan said, slowly getting to his feet. Seeing Ellie with her eyes tightly shut, he gently guided/pulled her up to her feet. Looking around, he noticed the thin line of light that marked the edges of the door. "I'm just going to go check the door.. I can see it," Declan said softly, so that Ellie wouldn't get more scared than she already was

[Broken Angel]

*Ellie nodded. She clinged onto Declan's tee shirt. She kept her eyes closedand walked towards the door with Declan. If it was open, there would be light which means Declan wouldn't be able to walk out, unless the light went out mysteriously. The light around her brightened as she thought happier thoughts*

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan carefully guided Ellie over to the door, reaching for the handle with his free hand, as the other was around Ellie's shoulders. With a grin, Declan pulled the door open, but almost collapsed as the sudden burst of light hit his eyes. His grip weakened on Ellie's shoulders, his eyes tightly shut. And he had been so happy to find a way out... why did things always go wrong for him, Declan thought angrily

[Broken Angel]

*Ellie felt Declan's grip weaken. She wondered what had happened*
Declan? You okay?
*Ellie suddenly realised the one thing Declan hated, that was the one thing she loved. She opened her eyes and smiled as the light filled her. She wasn't too sure on what to do next, but she knew that she and Declan would have to work as a pretty close team to get through this*

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan felt Ellie relax beside him, realising that now they would have to swap positions. Ellie would now have to lead, and Declan be led. "you lead this time," Declan muttered

(Sorry for such a short post... only on for a moment!)

[Broken Angel]

*Ellie looked up the corridor. Every light was on. She looked back at Declan and took his hand. She smiled and then thought, he probably didn't see that smile. She started to led him out. She looked behind occasionally to see if he was okay. Ellie looked back at Declan again*
You okay still?

[Samwise Gamgee]

Declan nodded, though the expression on his face told a different story. Oh, how he     d the light.. he could already start to hear the murmur of faint voices in his ears. Hopefully, Declan would be able to last longer than usual without seeing the images. But he doubted it. Declan hung onto Ellie's hand, almost like a small child holding onto their mother's hand, stumbling slightly every couple steps, mostly tripping over his own feet.
