BACKSTORY: New Surroundings...

Awakening the Orkhid found himself not in the basement, not among the creatures that he loathed and had attempted to kill, not anywhere that seemed like Pyke infact. But, but he was in a large white room. In a bed. With nurses and Doctors...and, and everything a Hospital is equipped with. It was puzzling for the creature, he knew it wasn't a dream and yet...yet it seemed that it was. Slowly, he pushed himself up to sit up in the bed. The sheets were a lovely colour of shining white, which almost dazzled him. He uttered a low grunt as he slided his bum closer to the wall, that the head of the bed was up against. Looking down he noticed stitches in his stomach and severe bruising around his chest. These wounds happened in his supposed 'dream' but how, how could they have manifested themselves physically? Shaking this disturbing thought from his ever probing mind the Orkhid called out across the ward to another patient, of the same specie, in bed eating his lunch.

Tobias: "H-Hey...You. W...Where am i?"

The Orkhid looked up, her blue eyes almost shining in the light of the room.

Female: "Majoar Hospital. Dont you remember? You were brung in here last night. Attacked by something, i never caught what they said."

Coughing the confused Orkhid shook his head, replying to her question without actually speaking. He couldn't remember nothing. Nothing about being attacked, well, apart from his 'dream' were he was severely beaten by the Hunters and then attacked once more by the Cross-breed and his vicious crew. Tobias realised all was not what it seemed, obviously the Orkhid council had found the documents that he had tried to destroy and realised that he was a traitor. And now they were toying with him, making him panic, wanting him to break-down so they could get some light entertainment before killing him off. This he was not going to have, he was going to escape...or at least die trying. His personal mission was still not complete and Spider still needed to be punished for murdering his father. Quickly he swung his legs round to the right hand side, taking the bed clothing off with him. Tobias was still wearing his black boxers he was the very night he was restrained which proved he was correct. Reaching his right hand outwards he grabbed the drawer that was situated on the right at the head of the bed and proceeded to push himself up.

Voice: "Sit down."

The Orkhid halted, frozen in terror. His body slowly drifted back down to the bed and he sat rigidly on it. A bead of sweat ran down his brow and quickly he dabbed it away with the back of his hand.

Tobias: "W-Who...are you?"

His voice was a hushed whisper, as if subconciously he didn't want to know.

Voice: "That does not matter. But you, you have to heal."

This puzzled the Orkhid, why does this mysterious person want him to heal? Tobias decided that the voice was coming from behind him and thus slowly turned his head around, attempting to see the figure that spoke.

Voice: "Heal Tobias...Heal or you will be useless to our cause."

Suddenly he realised that the voice was also a hushed whisper, this indicated that it was either a mole planted in the Hospital for covert purposes or a intruder. Either way, they wanted him healthy which was always good.

Tobias: "W-When, when shall y-you free me?"

He asked this in a tone of voice that seemed to say "Please free me now" but he was unaware of this tone of desperation and still turned his head slowly to the direction of the voice.

Voice: "Get some rest Tobias...Heal."

Realising this seemed as if it was a 'say it and run' deal Tobias quickly twisted his torso around to the direction that he deemed to be the voices destination. This, not only caused pain, but confusion. Nothing was there, it was as if some kind of Ghost or Shaman was using magick means to communicate with him...

Tobias: "Hello? Hello?"

Understanding that the creature sounded serious Tobias swung his legs back into the bed and pulled up the covers. He then shifted himself downwards and closed his eyes. Hoping that the next day would give him some answers...if not that, some freedom.
