"Maybe they're here too. Maybe they're looking for us."
--
Jack sighed, taking Philip's hand and inspecting it closely. "I suppose that's fine, too."

"I really hope so," Vincent sighed. "That would be amazing...if we all found each other. And then it might be easier to think of a way out of here."
--
Philip smiled in a victorious sort of way, patting the hand that inspected his. He looked around for a bit before turning to Jack with a questioning glance.

Ricardo sat upright, running a hand through his hair. "The one I'm really worried about is Nic. The others can handle themselves, but... What if he's alone?"
--
"Let's get out of this place. Maybe we can try random doors until one opens to the outside."

"I don't know... That why we should try to find everyone as soon as possible. Once it's morning, we can go out and look."
--
Philip nodded, walking over to the nearest door. Opening it, he found a long, dim hallway that ended in an intersection. There was a sign at the end, but he couldn't make out what it said.

Ricardo nodded, a lump forming at his throat as he began to imagine all of the danger that the others could be in. What if Tessa had hit her head, which was so delicate at that moment? What if Giovanni was hurt or even killed? What if Nicolas was scared and alone in some place he couldn't even see?
--
Jack narrowed his eyes at the sign. "All it says is... Game Over? What does that mean?"

Tessa cringed away from her sister's hand, the glow making her head spin. In her distraction, she failed to notice that the waves had stilled around her, and suddenly she was afloat in the icy waters. It was silent, save for the sound of the wind.

"It'll be okay," Vincent assured him, noticing his worry. "We'll find them." Even to him, it sounded like an empty promise, but they had to hope for the best.
--
Philip let out a sigh. "Game over" sure sounded like a bad omen of sorts. He put a hand on Jack's shoulder, looking him in the eye and shaking his head.

"I hope we do before it's too late." Ricardo looked away, facing the trees to avoid Vincent seeing the tears hat had formed in his eyes.
--
Jack shifted nervously. "Maybe there's another way we can go."
--
Elizabeth was gone, replaced by another pearly, glowing figure. She was covered in silvery liquid, dripping from her tattered robes and hands. The doomed version of Bianca glared at Tessa in frosty silence.

"No," she whispered, drawing further back still. "N- no, you're not real. Neither of you are. S- stop it." Her words were clumsy, impaired by the cold and her own fear.

"You could have stopped her and you knew it," Bianca hissed, eyes boring into Tessa's. "Instead of just standing there like an idiot until after I died! You could have saved me!"

Vincent sat up and pulled Ricardo's chin towards him, frowning. Carefully, he wiped away the Gryffindor's tears with his thumb. "Ricardo. It'll be okay," he said gently.
--
Philip took another look around before heading a little ways down the hallway they were already in. There were a few more doors on the left side.

"I did," she spluttered, unable to tear her gaze away. "I did! A- after... With Giovanni. We put things right." She felt smaller than she had ever felt under the stare of her best friend, and an immense feeling of shame washed over her.

Ricardo nodded silently, leaning his shaking body into Vincent's. With him and his friends... Sometimes, things never seemed to turn out the way that they wanted. Somehow, something always went wrong. Perhaps this time would be no exception.
--
Jack stared at the small signs above the doors. "Out on a limb? Cat got your tongue? What are these even supposed to mean?"
--
Bianca show her head furiously. "You saved a different Bianca. Not me. And what did you do right after? Cavort with the ghost of my murderer!"

Tessa flinched. "But... Lizzie... She's my sister." Bianca had Jane, after all. "You understand that, don't you?" She managed to look away at last, and focused on the still water around her.

Vincent sighed, holding Ricardo tightly and stroking his hair. He murmured reassurances into his ear, hoping he'd at least be able to calm Ricardo.
--
Philip shook his head in equal confusion. He stopped in front of a door with a sign that said "Over the Moon", shrugging helplessly.

"Your sister and a murderer," Bianca responded coldly. "She had been planning what she did to me-- to Nicolas-- for months. Don't you think that perhaps she still has plans? She still wants to get rid of the other me that you saved? You're supposed to be a Ravenclaw, think a little! She's a killer!"

After a while, Ricardo shifted in Vincent's arms, lifting his head. "Do you think I could go to sleep and you could take the shift?" His voice sounded vaguely broken, thick with tears and pain.
--
Jack paused, hand on the doorknob. "I guess this one doesn't seem all that bad... Do you want to try it?"

He nodded, mumbling softly, "Of course." Vincent paused to press a long, gentle kiss to the top of Ricardo's head. He brushed back a few locks of hair from the Gryffindor's face and pulled away.
--
Philip nodded, albeit reluctantly, giving Jack silent permission to open the door.

Ricardo managed a small smile, curling up with his head in Vincent's lap. "If you need me to take a shift, just wake me up."
--
Jack opened the door, hobbling inside. He was met by a choking sort of darkness, the only light coming from a candle in the center of the room. "What...?"

Vincent nodded, leaning back against the tree and playing with Ricardo's hair absent-mindedly. He couldn't see the moon from where they were, which left him a bit disoriented, not being able to tell the approximate time and all.
--
Philip followed, placing a hand on Jack's shoulder. He stared at the small flame, wondering if they should go to it, or if that would be a death wish.
