"John, he's still trapped! I need to go back!" Quinn exclaimed.
"No, we need to try something else, Quinn. Your nose is bleeding for god's sake! It's too dangerous." Mr. Beal said.
"Well we.. we have to- we need to talk to him. I saw him, John. He saw me too but he freaked out. He thought I was just another illusion." Quinn explained.
"Wh- what even happened?" Mr. Beal asked.
"It was dark and silent. But, then I saw him. Malcolm was there too. He looked different. Evil looking. He had a needle. He punched me and hurt me. I felt the pain. Like it was real. He tried to chase after Auden but I grabbed him. That's when he punched me. But, then, he stared at me. He looked crazy. His eye twitched and he came closer. He stabbed me with a needle. I started to feel dizzy. He laughed and the last thing I heard was Auden scream." Quinn explained.
"Now I'm here. But there's no time to waste! We need to help him already!" They added.
"What if something like that happens again? You could seriously get hurt. We have to think of something else." Mr. Beal said.
"But, what about him? What if he gets hurt? He's all alone."
"We will find another way. I won't risk both of you getting hurt."
" Hmm. What if- ah that wouldn't work. We could, um, never mind." They said as they tried to think of an idea.
"What are those yellow pills in the bathroom? They possess some kind of glow. Auden's name is on them." Mr. Beal said.
"Oh, those are um, well there for his powers. He said it's to maintain them. So, that they can be stabilized without overwhelming him. It makes it easier to control his abilities. I have no idea where he got them."
"Wait, then can't we use them for him. Won't it calm his powers?" Mr. Beal asked.
"Yes, but it won't save him from his mind."
"Well, as long as it helps, it's better than nothing."
"I don't know. It could be dangerous." Quinn said.
" It's worth a try..." Mr. Beal exclaimed.
"I guess.. we can try." Quinn agreed.
They went to the bathroom and grabbed the pills.
They looked at each other and sighed. Quinn felt so worried. Thoughts raced through their head. They were wondering about what could happen. Thinking of all the possibilities. Hoping everything would be okay.
They sat in front of Auden. "So, how do we do it? Do we just put it in his mouth?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Alright.." Quinn took the pill and put it in their hand. They looked at Auden's soft lips. They put the pill in his mouth.
They pushed his head back so that he could swallow the pill.
But, it didn't work. "It didn't work. Now what do I do?" They asked Mr. Beal.
"Try using a different method." He said.
"Like what?"
"I don't know, maybe you could use your tongue. You are marrying him, so it's not like it will matter."
"My tongue? We don't even kiss with tongue. It's kind of a little weird to do that." Quinn exclaimed.
"We need to hurry and get this over with. Just do it." Mr. Beal said.
"O-okay." Quinn was nervous. They had never done anything like that before.
Kissing with tongue was something they never planned to do. It was a lot similar to that. Quinn cupped his face and looked into the complexion of his skin.
So beautiful and soft. They pressed their plump lips against Auden's. It was so warm and comfortable.
They proceeded to stick their tongue into his mouth.
"It tastes like candy!" Quinn thought.
They felt the pill in his mouth. They began to push it back as far as possible. They leaned his head back so that the pill would go down.
Finally, he swallowed the pill.
Quinn got up and rushed to grab some water. They poured it down Auden's throat so that he wouldn't choke on the pill.
"So, what happens now?" Mr. Beal asked.
