"Ahh! Duncan, stop shooting me," Kim screamed from atop the flux sphere. Duncan pulled out his laser gun and pretended to shoot her, chuckling as she tried to dodge the laser. But Duncan then remembered the holes on top of the sphere.

"Hey, Kim. Be careful up there, there are some holes," he yelled up to her.

"I will- AHH," she screamed, falling into the sphere.

"KIM! HURRY FLY OUT," Duncan screamed, flying up to the sphere himself. For some reason Kim just couldn't get out quickly.

"Duncan help," she yelled, pleadingly. Duncan did begin reaching down offering his hand for Kim to grab but stopped. This was FLUX. A dangerous magic. He didn't know what would happen to Kim, and if it was something bad he couldn't risk getting infected.

When Kim finally got out of the sphere, she noticed Duncan was gone. "Duncan," she asked, quite confused.

"Stay away from me, Kim," he spoke. The words tasted awful in his mouth, but the side affects of flux was unknown besides death. He couldn't risk it.

"Duncan? What do ya mean," she asked, using her jet pack to fly towards Duncan.

"S-stay away Kim," he said again, flying backwards.

"Duncan? What's wrong," she asked. Her voice sounded so innocent, it made Duncan sort of melt. He shook the feeling away, quickly. Science. He reminded himself over and over. Science. Science. Science.

"H-how are you feeling," he asked unsurely, slowly flying towards the castle.

"I'm alright. A bit dizzy, but besides that okay," Kim replied.

Duncan had to think quickly. Quarantine. He needed to do that to protect the rest of the server. "Um... Why don't you lie down and rest, Kim," Duncan suggested, forcing a calm smile.

"Oh... Ok. I suppose I'm a bit tired," Kik mumbled suspiciously, walking towards her tower. And when she got inside, she was surprised to hear the door slam behind her.

"D-Duncan," she asked, looking back to see Duncan out the window.

His face seemed sad for a moment, but only for a moment. "I'm sorry, Kim," he said quietly before blocking up the windows with scrap.

"Duncan," she asked. God. That voice played with Duncan. Tampered with his mind. Her voice was so innocent, sweet. Almost luring.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, blocking up the other two doors. He went to a large window, she was already there waiting.

She pushed her face up against the glass," Duncan? What are you doing?"

"IM SORRY," he yelled this time. Tears threatened to fall. He finished blocking up the windows and ran to the machine room.

The noises and loud sounds of machines hard at work still couldn't block out the sobs of Kim from the tower. "GOD DAMMIT," he yelled.

He suddenly regretted giving her an apprenticeship. He knew it was dangerous here. Even more dangerous than at Sipsco, despite having two idiots there.

She wouldn't be in this situation, he wouldn't be in this situation. He was just being selfish. This was his fault in the first please. He should've fixed that hole instead of being a lazy ass and leaving it there.

God. He needed a drink. That's the answer. A drink. He walked down to the cellar and got his strongest stuff. He must've drunk five mugs of it before passing out on the cold, hard cellar floor. He had a dream while he was out though. He tried to convince himself that it was the alcohol but he knew it wasn't.

~Dream~

"Kim! Please wait, I am sorry," he yelled running after her. He wasn't quite sure where they were or where they were going. His main priority was to chase her.

She just kept going. It was like she would never get hungry, while Duncan had to stop at least five times to eat.

"Please Kim! I had to," he yelled at her. He was pleading for her forgiveness, which wasn't like him.

She finally turned around and looked at him. Realization hit him. She was gorgeous. Her red dress, looked beautiful on her. Her long black hair flowed down, and her dark brown eyes, almost black, stared at him. She seemed like she was glowing.

"Why are you sorry? 'Its for the servers safety?' What about mine, Duncan," she asked.

"I'll find the cure," he attempted to reassure her. "I'll find out what happened, how to fix it I promise."

She shrugged and ran off again. "Wait, Kim," he began after her. "Please Kim. I'll find a way... I love you..."

~End Dream~

Duncan sat up from his bed. How did he even get here? He remembered falling asleep on the cellar floor... Whatever.

He was covered in sweat, and his forehead was burning. Duncan attempted to sit up, but failed miserably when dizziness overcame him. Fuck.

Eventually he got up. His head was pounding, but he ignored it. All he could think about was Kim. He loved her, he knew that now.

He walked up to the computer in the castle and turned on the camera program. He clicked on the camera file: tower.

Inside there were live videos of Kim. He studied her. He wanted to let her out as soon as he knew it was safe. She was still asleep and her eyes were all red and puffy.

He studied Kim over the next 100 days. They were painful days, watching her walk around. He noticed purple slime that began making its way up her arm.

That was bad. He somehow needed to get a sample to study it, but that was impossible. God he felt so bad. Then he got an idea. He flew out to her quarry they had set up previously and dropped a ruby picaxe into it. Hopefully she would receive it, and get out.

That was being selfish too. He didn't want to open up the door and face her, he wanted her to escape herself. All Duncan could think was that he was a asshole.

He went up to the sorting room and began fiddling. He was searching for something to help him research her condition. Obviously purple goo is a safety hazard and has to be fixed.

He was thinking about getting a flux sample from the sphere, but when he turned around she stood there. "Ahh," he yelled, jumping backwards against one of the chests.

"100 days, Duncan. You left me in there for 100 DAYS," she yelled.

"I... I'm sorry. I sort of forgot," he lied. She began walking towards him,"Wait Kim, stay away from me."

She smirked,"Cmere Duncan. Let me give you a hug." Duncan actually thought about accepting the hug, but that would be creepy. He needed to stick to the science thing.

"Stay away from me, Kim," he said flying up against the ceiling away from her.

"Get down here Duncan," she yelled.

"I can't! Kim your infected with the flux," he yelled. She looked down and saw it. She screamed so loud. She was terrified.

"Kim. I'm so sorry. How are you feeling," he asked slowly, flying down from the roof.

She shrugged," Better I guess. I'm not dizzy anymore." She didn't seem angry any more, just scared.

"Kim. I promise I'll find a way to cure you, okay," Duncan tried to give her a reassuring smile.

She nodded slightly,"Duncan... I'm scared." That was it. Duncan broke. Her voice. Her look. He couldn't stand seeing her like this. I mean... He was wearing gloves and his lab coat. It wouldn't touch his skin.

He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her. "I'll find a way," he repeated. She stood shocked obviously.

"D-Duncan. The flux," she whispered.

"I don't care. I don't like seeing you like this, Kim. Please, I..." He trailed off. Her arms were wrapped around his waist, her face was buried in his chest. Since she was much shorter than her, his arms only wrapped around her upper back.

"Duncan," she asked, breaking the silence. They have been just standing there in each other's embraces for awhile.

"Hmmm," he asked. He pulled back slightly. And when he saw her face, he couldn't resist. He hesitantly leaned down, and pressed his lips against hers.
Her lips were paralyzed, shocked for a moment, before she began kissing back.

When they reluctantly pulled away all Duncan could say was," I'll find a way." And this didn't just mean he will find a way to cure her.

He will find a way to make it work.

He will find a way to love her.

He will find away for them to safely embrace.

He will find a way for them to be together forever.

He will find a way... He promised.
