A Prisoner Within My Own Mind

This Isn't Right

The boys could finally make a run for it. They were gonna get out of the city, and everything would be ok. At least that was what Hajime told himself as he got ready with Nagito. They had Izuru with them, so everything should be ok.

Once the boys had everything together and they were sure they were ready to go, they left the room and turned to Izuru to guide them. They began to take the route they had established from yesterday, and everything seemed to be going well. Then they made their way towards the door to outside and that's when both Hajime and Nagito hesitated.

"What are you waiting for?" Izuru asked Hajime.

"I..." Hajime bit his lip, "I'm nervous..."

Nagito gently took Hajime's hand, "I'm sure we'll be ok, just like you said, soon we'll be out of harm's way..."

Hajime squeezed Nagito's hand gently, "mhm... yeah, it'll be fine..." he said mostly to reassure himself, then gently pushed open the door.

The street looked relatively empty, giving the boys the clear to continue on. Though there was just one small problem, from where they exited, they didn't know what street they ended up on. There was so much debris that they could barely tell where they were. But they pressed forward, soon enough they'd find an exit. The coast seemed pretty clear for now.

For now.

Nagito and Hajime stuck close together as they carefully navigated through the debris. It was very quiet, so they chose their steps carefully. Both of the boys knew their way around the city pretty well, so it wouldn't be a big deal once they got back onto clearer streets.

Their trek through the non existent street had gone pretty well, while Izuru remained pretty quiet. He was unfamiliar with the area, so he trusted the boys to continue through the city.

They started to pick up their pace once there was no debris in their way. They just had to get out and everything would be fine. Nagito and Hajime kept telling themselves that. Everything seemed to be fine, but then they rounded the corner onto the next street.

There stood Fuyuhiko, but this time with the ultimate swordswoman beside him. When Nagito and Peko made eye contact, he tensed and turned around.

"Run...!" He said to Hajime, before to two were sprinting away.

Though Peko was right on their heels, and she wasn't slowing down. Hajime and Nagito tried to stay close together, but as Nagito's stamina started to wane, he began falling behind. Hajime was about to turn around to help him, but Izuru stopped him.

"Don't, you're only going to get yourself hurt," Izuru said firmly.

"But- Nagito...!" Hajime said.

"Just keep going!" Izuru snapped.

Hajime bit his lip, then had to move forward. Seeing Izuru angry probably wasn't the best idea. Nagito was going to be ok, right? He was just right behind him.

Apparently he was wrong with that.

He heard a loud yelp from behind him. Hajime whipped around to see that Peko had grabbed Nagito. The brunet was prepared to run back for him, even though Izuru was yelling at Hajime to turn around.

"Hajime! Turn around, this is a trap!" Izuru said.

"But... he can't go, he can't!" Hajime said, breaking into a sprint.

He heard Izuru grunting, was everything ok? But soon he realized what he was doing. Soon Hajime felt like he wasn't running on his own. He was turned around, instead running away.
