Lovett crossed right behind Sweeney after shooting a fearful glance at the flames. This was almost exactly like the oven. Flames everywhere. She shuddered, and latched onto Sweeney once she was through. Garry followed not long after. Besides, who else would reassure Dotty when she got upset about messing up her lines? And who else would be able to explain stuff to the others? He was probably the only person who "knew". Well, you know, what he means is... My God. You know. Stuff like that was what he said most often, hoping others knew what he was talking about because he could never figure out how to word whatever it was he was saying. Freddy just sort of stood there, looking lost. He looked this way and that, and somehow managed to get himself turned around. Dealing with Satan wasn't the best thing he could've done, especially since Satan had taken his eyesight away. If he died, that meant Satan could just grab him and brainwash him. Which would be quite easy, considering how easy it was to get Freddy to do what you told him to. He took a step, then yelped as his foot landed in flames, and he lost his balance and fell over, hitting something- he didn't know what, he couldn't really see much of anything after his deal with Satan- hard enough to cause a whimper of pain and a small trickle of blood began to drip from his nose.

"Wait a sec...Where's Freddy?!" SN yelped. She looked back over the flames, then looked back to see if anyone else was missing. "Where's Brianna?!" SN said shrilly. She was about to go back in, but suddenly Ichabod, who had regained consciousness a few moments before, caught her by the arm. "You can't go back in there, it's too dangerous," he said quickly, staring into the flames. He wanted to know the two still in there were okay, but it was much too dangerous to go back in. Brianna shrieked in pain as her dress started to catch fire. She tried to hit at it, make it go away, make it stop, but it wouldn't. The pain didn't let up, and it was getting even harder for her to breathe. It was so hot this close to the flames, she was breaking out in sweat. But the moisture wasn't enough to keep the flames away from her skin. It was starting to blister rather rapidly and painfully.

Garry's eyes narrowed a little. Even though he had a few quarrels with Freddy- okay, maybe a LOT- it didn't mean he wanted the other man to die. He glanced at Ichabod, shooting him a glare as if daring the other to stop him, and started towards the flames they had just left, to see if he could find Freddy and the other person SN had mentioned. The force of the blow had caused brief unconsciousness, but Freddy had awaken shortly after due to the flames licking at his body. He yelped in pain as he began to push himself up and instead ended up putting his hands directly into the flames. He quickly pulled them back, whimpered a little because his body hurt- even the blood dripping from his nose hurt as it made its way down his partially charred skin. He managed to get to his feet without using his hands to push him up, and wobbled a little before catching his balance. He was a bit lightheaded and feeling faint; he wasn't sure if it was because of the blood or the gases from the fire, or both. He swayed a little, but he barely managed to stay upright.

Ichabod didn't try to stop him, but he didn't like this. It was too dangerous in there, the fire was still out of control. What if Garry couldn't get back out? SN was thinking the same thing. What if they couldn't get out? Brianna was still screaming, though her throat was searing viciously with the heat of the flames. She reached one hand in the direction of the door, but the flames were too thick to see through or to crawl out of. She continued crying out for help, though she was giving up hope that anyone would hear her over the fire. She found that slowly, she couldn't hear her own screams anymore because the flames were burning her ears, along with everything else. She already couldn't see. She'd closed her eyes to try to protect them, but a thin layer of skin wasn't going to help against the raging fire.

It wasn't long before Freddy passed out, collapsing and landing in the flames again. And that was when Garry made it to the other actor. "God, Freddy, you can't- you're not gonna- well, you just- don't-" he babbled, making even less sense than usual as he gently hauled the other man out of the flames, then hesitated. How would he get him out of there before he died? If they stayed there, he'd die. If they got him out but did nothing, he'd die. Freddy needed medical help. This was not the time to be upset over old fights. Garry stood up straight, then bent down to Freddy's level. Then, with a little difficulty, he managed to drape the injured man over his shoulders and began to carefully walk back to the group. He held on to Freddy only because it was necessary. It looked like he had been burnt badly, after all. The blistered and charred skin, the nosebleed, the fact that he was almost unrecognizable thanks to his burns...

SN stared at them, glad Garry had gotten out, but she was still worried. Where was Brianna?! She had to be in there somewhere, because she wasn't out there with the rest of the group! "Did you see anyone else in there?" Ichabod called when it was obvious SN was too shocked to speak. "A little girl, with dark hair?" Brianna let out one more shriek for help before dropping onto her back in defeat. She had no more strength to keep fighting against the flames. She could feel her blood boiling and her skin blistering, but she felt like she was feeling it at a distance. She was scared, very scared, of dying, but she could do nothing about it. She could do nothing except lie there and wait for the burning to stop.

"I didn't see anyone else there in... in the... you know," Garry said, gesturing wildly at the flames with both hands, accidentally dropping Freddy as he did so, causing a loud yelp of pain from the injured actor, and causing his eyes to fly open. He choked and gasped for breath, trying to get oxygen into his lungs as he stared blankly at nothing in particular.

Cura, whom had ran out of the room when the fire started, rushed over to Freddy, who she considered a friend. She laid one hand gently on his shoulder, making the pain stop, and also trying to make him relax before he could hurt himself. She didn't like seeing the actor in pain like this. She didn't like seeing anyone in pain. Brianna's lungs were screaming for air by now, but she couldn't give it to them. There was nothing around her but smoke and fire, and neither made her lungs stop aching. She didn't have enough strength to thrash around in pain anymore. She just couldn't do anything to help herself. She couldn't help but feel slightly relieved as the burning started to go away.

Freddy had flinched at Cura's touch, but relaxed a little once his pain went away. He had been hurting badly; every tiny movement, even breathing, had hurt. That fact was made obvious by his nosebleed. The bleeding had finally begun to slow after his pain left. After a moment of just lying there, he turned his head towards the hand on his shoulder, looking at it without really seeing it. "Whozzat?" he asked, voice a bit hoarse because of the smoke he had inhaled, which was irritating his throat. It would definitely be sore, along with everything else, if Cura pulled her hand away.

"It's Cura," the young girl said, making sure her hand stayed on his shoulder. "Remember, we met when that one person wanted to do that play." SN wandered over. "You traded your eyesight, didn't you?" SN demanded. She could tell. Mainly because otherwise, Cura would have made him be able to see, but she couldn't heal something taken by evil, and Satan was considered evil. Very much so. Well, she could, but she wouldn't because she was scared of evil. Alice, whom had wandered back into the fire once it was said that a kid was missing, started moving things around, oblivious to the flames. She could take it. When she finally found Brianna, she scooped her up and started back out with her.

"Yeah, I remember you. I was just wondering who it was making the pain go away," Freddy replied. He didn't bother turning his head towards SN as he replied, "I didn't trade it. Well, not exactly. I said he could have anything he wanted and I guess that's what he wanted." He frowned a little. It was like Satan wanted him to get hurt or die or something like that. "Oh God, Freddy, you're alive! I thought surely you'd- well, you looked like- you could've- God, you know what I mean!" Garry babbled, obviously delighted that Freddy was alive. He didn't hate the other actor, it was just that Freddy always seemed to get him mad. He then glanced over at Alice, and froze. "Oh my God." An often repeated phrase among the actors, usually by Tim or Freddy. "I'm so sorry, I didn't- didn't know- I would've- God, you know..." If he had known Brianna was in there also, he would've gotten her out as well. Or at least tried to.

"Chill out, she was hard to get to," Alice growled, not necesarilly unkindly, but not in a friendly way either. She wasn't ever really friendly with people. Now and then she'd make a friend, and they would die or have to kill themselves because they caught the T-virus. So she tried not to be anyone's friend. ((Off topic: My nana's friend just said he's seen the Forbidden Zone. He said it wasn't weird, it was off-kilter.)) "Let me see her," Cura demanded in the most authoritive voice she could manage. Alice set the girl down next to the little fairy-girl. Cura put one hand on Brianna's shoulder, healing her outer burns untill she looked almost back to normal, except for some blistering of the skin. But she could fix the internal burns, or the damage to the eyes or lungs. "Freddy. Never ever say 'take whatever' and actually agree to it. Be specific. Offer something you know you can live without," SN sighed, shaking her head. She'd told him to be carefull!

(I liked Forbidden Zone. Danny most of all, of course. ) "Oh my God." Like I said, an often repeated phrase. Freddy could figure out from the way the others were talking that there had been someone else in the fire. He didn't know who it was so he couldn't form a mental image of what it must look like, but he was able to remember how being burnt felt. Blood started spurting from his nose and running down his face, causing the man to automatically tip his head back. He choked a little when he did that, digging through what was left of his clothing to try to find a tissue or something as he struggled into a sitting position. Just because his pain was gone didn't mean his body wasn't damaged. "S-sorry," he whimpered, then his eyes rolled back in his head and he passed out, slumping back to the ground, choking on his blood again. You could usually tell how much pain he was in or was seeing by the severity of his nosebleed. Bumping heads or getting your hand stepped on caused a small trickle of blood. Burning or something like that caused a LOT of blood. Even if he wasn't the one getting hurt, it was like he could imagine how it felt and would start bleeding because of it.

Cura shot a sympathetic look at Freddy before turning to Brianna. "Can you hear me?" she asked, lowering her mouth to the girl's ear since Cura didn't talk very loud, and it was likely that Brianna wasn't able to hear too well at the moment, even if she had been able to heal her scorched eardrums. When Brianna heard her, it was like she'd been jerked awake almost. She gasped for breath, each one burning on the way down. She whimpered in pain. The only bit of her that didn't sting and burn horribly was her skin, and her hair which Cura had grown back. The fairy girl placed her hand back on the girl's shoulder to act as pain killer for her too. Once Brianna was able to breathe without the problem of the scorched feeling everytime she took a breath, she calmed down, lying limp. Almost scared to try it, Brianna openned her eyes slowly, only to blink in confusion. Though Cura had been able to restore the look and shape of her eyes so she wasn't left with gaping sockets, she hadn't been able to restore the damaged nerves that made her able to see. But Brianna could tell there was someone near her. She whimpered in fear and tried to squirm away, scared of what she couldn't see. What if it wasn't anyone nice? "Calm down," Cura said softly, keeping her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You'll make your injuries worse. I'm Cura. I can heal your burns, but it may take a while." Extensive burns like these, internal burns, were hard to heal, but Cura could do it. Lasting problems from the injuries were something she couldn't fix, though. Like sensitive lungs.

Garry shuddered as he touched Freddy's burned flesh, to turn the man's head to the side to help the blood drain from his nose without it all running down his throat or into his lungs or something. The actor then stood up shakily and walked away, face pale. He couldn't stand looking at Brianna or Freddy any longer.
