Once the doctor got his hands on Rook, he wasn't taking them off. Instead, he began to drag Rook over into an empty room.

"I'm going to borrow Rook." Those were the words he said to Brie.

Oh, ******** hell. Rook and Sho came face to face with another monster. One that looked like the doctor this time, not in the manifestation of Rook. "Guess we're gonna talk after this." He dropped Rook down, since Rook seemed quite handy at fighting. "If you're feeling sore at me, here is a good chance to vent your frustrations."

An undying was the best opportunity Rook was going to get, because there way no way in hell that he would escape (mostly alive) if he tangled with the doctor himself.

And then took out his knife for an attack that was all too natural these days.

Needless to say, Rook had struggled to free himself the entire way. He was a little more sane now, and was definitely more aware of what was real and what wasn't, which meant he was completely aware of who currently had hold of him at the moment. The struggling continued to happen until another shadow appeared. Though rather than a double of himself again, this time it was in the form of the 'good' doctor.

As if the world needed two of him...

He didn't say anything, but he twitched a little at the words, indicating that he had heard them and well... He could see the attraction to taking a swing at this particular shadow and so he did. Only... he might have aimed at the real doctor, hitting the double only by chance.

Sho's expression twitched when Rook hit it perfectly enough to knock it out -- whereas the real doctor had to avoid the attack. Don't think for a moment that Sho couldn't see that Rook was aiming for him. Rook was far too satisfied.

"Oi, oi-" Sho was immediately on guard even after the monster had been defeated, quickly reaching out to grab Rook. He was older and stronger, therefore it shouldn't have been much of a surprise when he reached for Rook's neck, wrapping his digits around it, pushing the struggling Rook to the ground and pinning him there. If he really wanted to, he could choke the life out of the younger male right here and now. "You're quite the gutsy figure~"

"Now, now." Why did his insanity.. not seem like the insanity that had affected him both earlier, but of the eerie beast that Sho had been back in the Casinos and earlier faction areas? "Are you still at a point where we should be concerned? Your friend Cecil earlier was quite worried~"

"And then I had to chase you." With Brie of course. "If I didn't know any better, I would imagine you want my attention."

There definitely might have been some satisfaction when the strike hit the creature dead on. Though, if it showed, it quickly vanished again, replaced by both anger and surprise, as the doctor caught him by the neck and forced him down on the ground.

With renewed fear, Rook struggled to free himself until the doctor had him completely pinned on the floor. It didn't stop him from fighting of course, and he definitely still had words at his disposal that he could throw at the man. Except, all that came out was an angry-- "Get off!"

He half listened and half struggled, clawing at the doctor's wrist. Had the thought crossed his mind that Sho could kill him right here? Yes. In fact, it was part of what drove his attempts to get up. But when it was clear he couldn't move, he settled for snarling again. "You would think that."

But the doctor wouldn't kill him. Not right here, not right now. As long as he never crossed the boundary into the undying, as long as he retained some part of his humanity. Moreover, he was more useful alive than dead.

Sho was silent for a moment after Rook's retort. With a look that examined Rook -- his mental status down to his physical status, he released his hold on Rook and stepped backwards. It would appear that Rook had regained some of his sanity after all. After all, he was replying pretty coherently, and the clarity was back in his eyes. It was still somewhat clouded, but Sho could see the recognition and knowledge that Rook was back in reality- not lost in hallucinations. The doctor let his head tilt with a smile.

"Sorry for the rough-housing. But I couldn't take a chance in your current state. You understand, don't you?" That the both of them had reached a dangerous level, and that they had both narrowly avoided the worst case scenario. If any more of the insanity had seeped in... they might not be here, talking to each other.

"Now, why don't we catch up with Brie? And it'd be good if we saw your other friends to reassure them you're not lying dead somewhere."

The struggles had eventually stopped, and Rook remained perfectly still. Perhaps he had somehow come to believe the idea that the doctor was like some wild animal and only by staying perfectly still would it leave him be. Though it was proving to extremely difficult not to squirm under the intense gaze as he evaluated him.

Finally, after what felt like ages, Sho must have deemed him normal, or normal enough and let go. It took a moment to register he had been released, but the moment he had, he sat up and immediately backed up a little to put some distance between the two of them and glared at the man. "As much as I don't want to, yes." It was true what the doctor said. Just moments before he had been a major risk to anyone else around him. He could have gotten violent. Hell, he was violent. So it was with great regret that he grudgingly admitted to himself that the doctor had taken the safest course of action.

Though, at the mention of Brie and friend, who he assumed was Cecil, Rook set his jaw and frowned. He had to talk to Cecil at some point, but right now, he really didn't wan to try and avoid eye contact with the taller man. So he merely stayed where he was now. Which was sitting on the floor.

Ah. The young male was capable of logic and reasoning after all. Sho had some respect fo Rook, who must have hated him down to his very innards, yet Rook could tamper down his pride enough to agree. Quite an admirable soul indeed. Though he still kept his gaze on Rook, having assessed him to be acceptable but it didn't warrant blind trust. They needed to be wary of everyone right now. That attention was exactly how Sho noticed Rook's expression change at the mention of Brie and his friends. Which of the two was causing that expression? Brie? Or Cecil? Or another person? Clearly it was somebody though.

"Did you do something else that I'm not aware of?" He asked wryly, because it was very obvious that Rook didn't want to one of the choices mentioned above from the way he was just sitting there. As long as there was no more monsters, Sho decided a few moments wouldn't hurt.

"If you're up to it, you can tell me.. because no matter what you've done, it can't be worse than me." His entire existence actually. Confiding in a person one hated would probably be the last thing Rook would do. But it was also exactly the reason Rook might do so -- in the eyes of someone one hated, there was no lower point they could recede to nor could there by any judgement.

"Or you can try and confide in that wall over there while I turn my back and pretend to be oblivious." Rook could choose between a human being.. or an inanimate object.

Like hell I'm going to confide in you! Was what he wanted to say, but at this point, the guilt of what had happened was weighing down on him to the point he was having trouble keeping what little piece of mind he had left. Which wasn't much.

"I hurt him." The words were quiet at first, barely above a whisper. "I thought I was dreaming, I couldn't control it and when I woke up I--I hurt my friend." He finally admitted. Clearly disgusted with himself, he drew his legs up so he could press his forehead against his knees.

Not only had he hurt him. He had hunted him. He chased him down, dragged him out and when he caught him he stabbed him with a knife. He could have killed him!

"You killed him. Would you like to see?" The voice whispered again repeating the words he had heard it say before on the radio. With a snarl he clamped his hands over his ears.

But that wasn't the only thing weighing on his mind.

"After that I... lost time." There was a confusion written across his features, like he still couldn't wrap his head around it. "Its like I blacked out or something. Last I remember I was with Ce when I..." He pressed his hand against his forehead, willing himself to remember. How had he lost so much time between then and now? Just before Brie and Sho had encountered him, it was like there had been nothing but an empty hole in his memory. He still didn't understand it. Maybe this was just a dream. Maybe he was still asleep and he hadn't woke up.

What...? His eyes widened slightly, assimilating this information. Sho didn't deny having the same dream. No, it wasn't a dream. It actually happened. The poor soul -- Sho was just as guilty of killing him, and in his opinion, it was even worse than merely hurting a friend. But Rook was agonized because it was a friend. Listening to Rook's story quiely, Sho stared into an open window. All it showed was the misty and faint shadows moving about- if Sho wanted to concentrate to see further, those shadows actually looked familiar. But they weren't real.

"This hospital.. isn't as I remembered it. It was to help people." Something in Sho's tones seemed like he was reminiscing. But that nostalgia came to an end, as the male flatly stated the facts as it stood now. "But this hospital is no longer the same building. It feels.. worse somehow. The best way to describe it would be evil." As if something had taken a hold of it. The doctor couldn't put his finger on it. It was true that there were more deaths, more suffering here- but that was too simplistic of a reason to explain what Sho felt from this building. There were too many nightmares, along with the strange fog, with the rising levels of infection to make sense.

Kneeling down, Sho forcibly removed Rook's hands from his ears. He wouldn't be able to hear himself, but he wouldn't be able to hear Sho at this rate either. "Listen to me. Your friend, Cecil.. he seemed pretty worried about you. I wouldn't say that your friendship is broken yet. Talk to him, since your guilt trip isn't taking you anywhere."

The gap in his memory was something to be even more concerned about. If Rook couldn't remember, but he had been conscious the whole time.. If it was anything like their dreams-- it was dangerous indeed. He wasn't going to hide that fact. "And about your memories.. we're going to figure this out step by step. We're going to find out what happened. But the first step, I'd imagine, is talking to your friend."

"Failing that, I guess I'd try to welcome you with open arms for a hug." Now, there was the doctor's usual condescension and irritating manner. But it should hopefully bring back Rook's cocky manner as well.

It was funny that, even though Rook knew that Sho was a doctor, it had slipped his mind entirely that he might have actually worked here. While Rook was vaguely familiar with the place, Sho would known what it was like in its original, normal state and thoroughly. Seeing it as it was now must have been quite a shock to the man.

"Evil is an accurate word." He agreed. "As much as I hate them, I have to admit that its the first time I've used 'evil' to describe a hospital." Tough he was beginning to think evil was all that was left. It was bad enough that they had the undying, but there had been cannibals? And now this little scenario? It had gotten to the point where he was afraid to say 'what else could happen?' But it did really did raise the question of, what would happen next?

When his hands were pried away from his ears, another glare fell into place. As if it were a silent accusation thrown at the Doctor, as though he were making him hear the voices that spoke to him. Though somewhere in the back of his mind, his rational voice told him that he had also been blocking out the doctor's voice. Not that he really had a problem about that, but given that he just spilled his guts in front of the man, the least he could do is hear what he had to say.

The fact that Cecil was worried about him made the guilt double. Even after he stabbed him and who knows what else during that time he had lost, Cecil was still worried about him. That was a kind of friendship he felt he didn't deserve. Not now. But their friendship wasn't the only thing at risk.

"You don't understand. I have no idea how it happened or what I did during that time. If it was anything like that dream, I could very well have killed someone. Next time it might be Cecil, or Brie, it could even be you next. I don't want to wake up to find more blood on my hands!" The thought of the doctor dying hadn't really bothered him before, but now that he somewhat got to know the doctor, however little that was, the idea of killing him didn't sit well with him. Even if simply being near the man still creeped him the hell out.

The offer of a hug got an immediate frown and he might have backed away again. "As much as I know you'd love that. Not in your life."

"I do understand. Unfortunately, I do." There was a sardonic twist on his expression that without words -- Sho was revealing that was already acquainted with what Rook feared the most: he had murdered somebody in cold blood during that so-called dream. He couldn't take it back. But he couldn't let fear hinder his survival. "You can't remember. I can't make that missing time re-appear or pretend that you did nothing. But I can make you a promise about the future." Sho had to take a deep breath before continuing, "If you're no longer you Rook, then I'll be the one to kill you. I'll kill you before you can harm Brie, Cecil, or anybody else."

Grabbing a hold of Rook's chin to force him to look at Sho, "Or do you doubt that I could kill you?" The slight tightening of his fingers around Rook's collar reminded him of the fact that Sho could very easily do so. Whether or not the boy was violent, or in the middle of his hallucinations. All it would take was a simple stab of his knife in the right places to quickly die.. and you could imagine Sho knew every single spot.

"But the fact you're running --" His eyes narrowed in judgment, not at what Rook could have done or was scared of but his actions right now, "and still running -- the fact that you're hesitating could mean the difference between life and death. Every moment that you're scared of hurting somebody is every moment that you're not saving somebody." Considering Rook's strength in battle and in defeating the monsters, this was very important. "Do everything you can from this point onwards. And while you're doing so, don't forget the only fact that matters, that I'll be here." He was capable of whatever Rook could toss at him. Though he was lacking in brute strength that somebody like Cecil had, he had the strength to be cruel, to kill when he needed to.

Letting him go again, Sho looked out the window with an annoying air that a really popular guy held for unpopular guy. "Believe me when I say hugging you is not particularly high on my list of things I want to do before the world reaches its end. I would like to hold a beautiful girl honestly." Somebody like Brie would be a good example! But Brie somehow seemed to belong to Alex... so any romantic or sexual appeal had disappeared with that association. Though they didn't seem to be together together, they were.. together somehow.

Rook watched him silently for a moment. It was obvious from the way the man spoke that he had done something as well. Though since the man hadn't brought it forward, it was not his place to pry. So he didn't, instead he focused on the words the doctor was saying instead. Any other day, a promise to kill him would have sounded ridiculous and insane. But this wasn't just any other day and if made him give some serious thought on the offer.

When the doctor grabbed him by the chin, Rook had no choice but to look him directly in the eye. He definitely believed the man was capable of killing him. In fact, by the way the man spoke, he was sure he already had killed someone and as if to confirm his thoughts, Sho's fingers tightened again to remind him of that little fact. Finally, his expression hardened and he raised his own hand to push the doctor's away. "I'll hold you to that." He finally said. "Though..." He paused, a somewhat nervous smile appeared on his face, while a touch of humor creeped back into his tone. "Do make sure that I am too far gone before you actually try and kill me." After all, he had sort of just given the doctor permission to kill him. He wouldn't want the man to jump the gun and kill him early, now would he?

As for the running part. He got what the man was saying. Not that he wanted to admit it. Nor did he want to agree with it. But it was true. As he was now, he was of no help to anyone. But at the same time, he didn't want to accidentally kill someone, should he relapse. "Alright I get it, I'll go to talk to them." Probably not right this very minute, even if he could find them quickly, but soon. He needed a little more time to think to himself.

At the last part of what the doctor said, Rook let out an amused snort of laughter and gave the first true smile since he actually got here. "I guess I should consider myself lucky that I'm annoyingly obnoxious and that I was born a man." Though at the man's statement, he did silently wonder why he hadn't said anything to Brie. The man clearly had feelings for her, even if they were a little--no, very twisted.
