Jack did not attempt to follow Philip, staying where he was. "It's the real me, I promise," he said softly, voice level. "I'm not going to try to make you come closer or anything, or even try to reassure you if you're not comfortable, I promise. But you need to know that there's this shapeshifter that looks like you. He's tailing me and I know I won't be able to fight him off."

"Just in case we don't make it out of here. I wanted you to know that," Ricardo mumbled into Vincent's neck. "I love you. A lot."

Philip stared at this Jack, breaths eventually slowing. He swallowed, suddenly realizing that his mouth was completely dry. He stared at the cripple for a minute longer, the shadows seeming to lift from his shoulders. Cautiously, he made a fist, tapping out letters on the floor. Jack?

"Oh." Vincent leaned back against Ricardo, turning his head to place a quick kiss to the Gryffindor's nose. "I love you too."

Ricardo shifted, tilting his chin to press a kiss to the Gryffindor's lips. He makes it out of here alive. Even if I don't. I won't let him die.
--
Jack nodded, voice dropping to a whisper. "Yeah, it's me. Listen, we need to work fast. I assume there's another Jack somewhere out there, looking for you?"

Vincent melted on the inside, kissing him back quickly. He studied Ricardo's face, sighing softly. He couldn't let him get hurt again, physically or mentally.
--
Philip didn't even have time to nod before his eyes suddenly widened as he watched his imposter lunge forward towards Jack. He dove, wrapping the cripple in his arms in an attempt to shield him from the attack. There was searing pain across his back as the monster raked him with its claws instead of its target. The monster itself looked disgusted for a moment before morphing into its true form—a creature that looked part dog, part reptile—and loping off into the darkness.

Jack scrambled up from his position, head still spinning from the shock of being slammed to the ground. "Philip! Are you okay? What did he do? Are you bleeding?"
--
Ricardo sighed, taking Vincent's hand. "Let's keep going. I really don't want to stay in this place by the time it's dark."

Philip grew dizzy from the pain, making it difficult to answer any questions or respond to anything at all. There were four jagged gashes running diagonally across his back, deep and bleeding heavily. What a fucking idiot he was.
--
"Neither do I. We should definitely walk a ways more before we settle down for the night. We'll have to keep watch again..." After a few minutes of crunching through the dry leaves and pushing back bush branches, Vincent spoke again. "At least we're not in the open where we can't hide."

"I'm starting to have a feeling that we can't hide either way from these things."
--
Jack shook, trying to remember anything that he knew about emergency medical care. Nothing came to mind. The beginnings of panic edged at his voice. "Phil, are you strong enough to clot the blood, or would that take too much out of you?"

Vincent sighed. "I know. Never mind. I just hope that whatever comes for us next takes its time. I'd like a break."
--
Philip shook his head weakly, trembling on his hands and knees, threatening to fall over. The monster was gone. Jack would be safe to find a way out himself. The pain was starting to dull anyway...
The Canadian collapsed, Jack's words and the light of the fire around him starting to blend together.
