Will You Help Me? [Eli Clark x Aesop Carl]

Part Two - I'm Here For You

A. N: Thank you to my friends on Instagram who are helping me with this fanfic and the titles of the chapters fsjhdnvsjkd that really means a lot.

The sound of footsteps crowded my ears, only that and the sound of wind being the only sounds I was able hear. What was going on...? Right, Michiko hit me and tied me to one of the rocket chairs, struggling was no use since you could never get out of them unless someone rescued you. I let out a sigh, blood falling down my head and a bruise on my cheek. I must've fallen pretty hard then, and getting hit didn't help as well. Emma didn't help me and William decided to help Emma decode, not like they were going to get far, Eli was my only hope left.. please save me...

I suddenly blacked out.. what really was going on? 

Who was I?

Right.. I'm Aesop Carl, 22 years old.. I came to the manor after a letter got sent to me. Where was I now? It hurts to think.. I softly opened my eyes to see myself looking at a roof, no, not a roof. It was one of those beds that had the pillars on each corner holding up a roof like figure. 

I sat up, I looked around my room until I saw a figure in a chair it took me a moment to realize that it was Eli? What was he doing here? I would've thought he would be gone once the gates opened up. Surprisingly not.. he looks so calm when he's asleep.. Stop thinking these things Aesop!!  

"Ah, you're finally awake Aesop." Eli said as he started to 'wake up' was he even sleeping? Who knows, nobody knows if he's awake or asleep since he has that mask over his eyes. "Um.. yeah I guess I am.. heh.." I chuckled nervously looking down at the bed. We can't even communicate! I never really was the person to communicate with others anyways. The only conversations I had were people giving me details about their loved ones about what they looked like and such. "Was I the-" I got cut off by Eli's hand raising up slightly. "No you weren't the first one to come back. Once you got tied to the chair I came over to rescue you, Emma was able to finish up the last cipher as William healed me. You were passed out so it wasn't much to worry about, I had Emily come up here to help your wounds." 

"Well um, thank you for saving me. I wasn't much help and got distracted." I looked at Eli, he looked back at me, while he didn't have much to say I could tell that he would say. 'You were help Aesop, it was your first match since arriving here.' At least that's what I think he would say. "Well, not all of us were the best when first arriving here at the manor. Trust me you have nothing to feel bad about," He laughed a bit and then got up. "Emily already made dinner, you can come down when you're ready." He said and left it off with a warm smile before leaving my room.

I nodded lightly, before I got up I regathered my thoughts. Once I did I headed downstairs with my makeup box in hand, my white mask covering my mouth and my warm grey hair pulled back in a short ponytail. Fiona was sitting on a bar stool in the kitchen talking with Emma and Tracy about the next match and who was going to play. Norton, Naib and Eli were just talking about things that they could do to distract the hunter, others were just talking with each other or some eating at the table. I went over to the table and sat down, Emily noticed me and came over.

"Hello Aesop! Feeling better I assume?" She said with a calm voice, wow for a pretty girl she can have such a nice voice. But she was pissed that I was left in her hands for having to be healed after a match. "Ah.. yes I am. Thank you for asking, sorry that I was left in your hands after a match."

"No no it's okay! Except that two people didn't help you during the match!" She shot a glare  directed to Emma and William. But they looked over to us trying to be like 'I have no idea what she's talking about.' But I was confused on why she didn't say three people, I didn't hate Eli but I could see why she didn't say three. Eli was the one that brought me up to my room after the match, he saved me but also got hurt. I still wish I could've used the coffin to better use, to save me or someone else.

Emma then handed me a plate of food on it, a fork and knife were next to it as I was hesitant about eating it here.. in front of people. "Emily, may I go eat this somewhere else?" I looked at her, hoping she wouldn't mind as she nodded. "Just don't get rid of it in any plants or anything." I nodded and chuckled nervously as I went outside and sat on a bench to start eating. Someone opened the back door as I quickly pulled my mask back up.

"No need to be scared!"
