The girl was only eye level with him and couldn't even fathom on what he was saying. Her reaction was not immediate, she could only glare at him. In a while, she couldn't even tussle the fact that he looks strange according to her.
The bleeding continued and she was frozen there. Her eyes were glazed over as she deliberately looked down. The blood from his hand dripped down to the ground.
"What do you... mean?"
She pressed, she can't subdue her current fear. She was holding back her other reaction that was not yet needed. In a sudden moment, she doesn't feel so placid any longer. Though, she warranted that she wanted to stay here for a while since he is badly hurt on the hand.
She doesn't even want to know what was currently transpiring.

He spasmed a gasp, leaning his head to the ground, cradling his injured hand. His head was pounding now, he couldn't understand what the hell was happening, all he could sense was the uncontrollable rage and blinding pain the invaded his form. He was struggling to breathe, he realized, when suddenly it was over; the pain was gone as immediate and unexpected as it had arrived.
That did not reassure him.
He looked up once more to meet Luna's eyes, he wasn't surprised to see fear and uncertainty swim within the depths of her ocean orbs. But he needed to explain; though he himself did not know.
"I-I'm okay," he told her quietly, pushing himself up to his feet and praying to a God he never believed in the first place that he the spasms of pain wouldn't return. "I guess I just overreacted. C'mon..."
He forced himself to walk, cursing his limbs to be so weak at such a moment.
"...Don't touch the flower." He warned her after a while.

Luna quivered uncontrollably as he was in his worsening state. Perhaps, the pain was getting noble as it seems. He was getting worse and the expression on his face told it all. Her instincts were making an appeal at her to help him. She did, but she could only place her hand at his back.
'I-I'm okay. I guess I just overreacted. C'mon...'
"Are you sure you don't want to rest for a while?"
She asked--there seems to be a little bit of concern unfolding now. Sometimes, boys are just so stubborn. He was acting like a lunatic person ever since he was pricked, but not that much. It's a good opportunity to rest for a while before they could resume.

"Are you sure you don't want to rest for a while?"
He stopped in his tracks. "Rest would be...no. By the time we move, it would already be too late." he whispered dangerously.
He couldn't let his guard down out here. Not when the flower was so near. Couldn't she smell it? Hear it? There was something in the air, a continuous ringing and a sickly sweet scent. Perhaps his wound helped him sense it.
So who was in trouble?
He was about to turn and ask when there returned the piercing ache in his head. Clutching his temples, he slid to the floor.
He managed to open one eye.
That's it!
The white flower glowed and changed colors everytime the clouds would pass to cover the moon. When it was dark, the pain disappeared, and when the light came back, he would be weakened again. The color of the rose was a blood red- the same color of the liquid that stained his fingers- which was odd, since he wasn't supposed to be bleeding badly.
The rose was not only alive. It had its thoughts and its rare abilities.
It was malevolent.
He turned to Luna, struggling to keep his breath. "Step on the damn rose." He told her, shaking. "Destroy the irksome prick!"

"Drake!"
She shouted as her egos of fears remedied. As she incepted to comfort him again, she felt her body confined in place whilst the rose's color converted to red. Her whole self descended to the ground; in a sitting position. She was then, being rooted on the ground firmly.
She was seemingly locked in place and she was now in an eye level with Drake. Not only eye level, but her eyes were widened in astonishment. She couldn't move; she only shook violently. Unquestionably, she couldn't comply Drake's demand at the prior.
"I can't.. move."
The blond girl whispered as she had a feeling that Drake and herself are both not cloistered here. Is someone watching them?

"I can't...move."
That was just great.
He struggled at the numbing pain that fought with his senses, successfully pulling away then to be captured once again. He had to do something- if they continued on like this, who knew what would happen? That rose wasn't going to keep them alive, and that was a fact.
"Luna!" He screamed, the pain undeniably unbearable now, but he managed to open his eyes to see his companion trembling on the ground. What was wrong with her? Couldn't she obey orders? Was she frozen in fear? Or had she stepped on the rose--
"Arth- thou- alright?" he wheezed, sinking to the floor. Not only was the pain keeping him immobile, but something invisible was present. It was currently keeping he and Luna pressed firmly on the ground, squeezing the breath out of him.
The same could be said for his companion, he was sure of that.
If only they had their alices! Surely he could drain the plant's energy, since it was a living thing, or Luna could do something useful with hers.
He forced his head to the side. If Luna couldn't do it, that was alright. She couldn't possibly have enough strength to do something that would endanger her life- especially now that she was suffering because of him.
He wrenched his hand from his side and reached out to grab the stem.
The thorns sunk into his flesh, and he could feel it feeding on his blood.
With a low growl he ripped the stem away and threw it the farthest he could.
The pain was gone. And the pressure on his body was disappearing. He heaved air into his lungs, and when he got his strength back, he stood up and walked over to his female companion.
His right hand had gashes and holes where the thorns had punctured it earlier. The blood dripped slowly to the floor, and though it hurt, the pain was normal. He then reached out his other hand to haul Luna up to her feet.
"C'mon." he said quietly, smiling. It felt good to be sane again.
[ooc: You are right. xDD I read to much fantasy comics again.]

'Arth- thou- alright?'
"N-Not t-t-too m-much,"
She answered, having much difficulty in speaking already. Her once slight tinge of pomegranate upon her cheeks turned pale. A foam of cold sweat occupied some spare spaces on her forehead. The lingering lineage of her breath was taken away slightly and she couldn't gasp for air either.
Thus, she couldn't warn Drake for not wrapping his hand around the particular rose's harmful stem--not any longer. She was only there, not converging on her surroundings. After another moment, she found herself not shaking anymore and was testing if she can still make a movement. To her surprise, she already can.
'C'mon.'
Drake's voice came. She smiled as she took his waiting hand and went up to her feet. Now, she couldn't even grope on what was happening earlier, since she asked so many questions already--was it too many? Well, at least they are already back to normal.
That's what matters.

[ooc: Yeah. I'll wrap it up here.]
Her small hand found his, and he hauled her up to her feet. Behind them, the moon shone peacefully and somewhat innocently, slowly sinking behind the numerous trees, as he gently pulled her away from the place. He reckoned she needed rest. They both do.
The sun was rising, and he smiled at the thought. Neither of them had gotten any sleep.
"Maybe I'll stay in the infirmary for a day," he said jokingly, the feelings of freedom and happiness evident in his musical tenor of voice. "How about you? Will you be asleep for weeks?"
He wasn't really teasing, and maybe he didn't mean it, but that was alright. He raised his right hand, punctured and frayed, frowning at it. The scars might never heal, and he would have difficulty in writing for some time. But wasn't that better than actually dying because of that horrible little plant?
He shuddered a bit, closing his eyes. That would scar him in the afterlife.
"Luna..." he called, raising his eyes back to the road. "...thanks."
How uncanny it seemed, that a night that had started out as a cold and dark menace actually ended up with the sun rising before them, bathing the two with warmth. Perhaps there really was hope after all.
[ooc: It's finished. Unless you want to add anything.]
