Till Death Do Us Part..

Alice put him on speaker phone so she wasn't getting blood everywhere, keeping her wrists over the tub. "I'm going to Vennace. I can take you with me. I have money, enough to keep you in all the drugs you'd like." She didn't tell him the catch yet. She'd wait for that.

Mark kissed down her body to her waist line. He brushed his lips across it, back and forth, every once in a while dropping a few kisses.

Artemis quivered, her soreness gone as she gripped the sheets.

James raised an eyebrow, falling silent as he thought over what she said "and what;s in it for you?"

Alice watched the phone. "Your company." She said simply.

Mark let his lips travel farther down.

James scowled, "I wouldn't be much company"

Artemis groaned, not sure how much more teasing she could take

"I guess that's for me to decide, isn't it?" Alice said, her voice getting a little weaker as the blood continued to run from her wrists.

Mark's mouth explored the area for a while before trailing slowly back up her body, his hand moving to pick up where his mouth left off.

Artemis groaned, crushing her lips to his, "can we never leave the bed?"

James snorted, and remained silent, weighing his options "and I get all the drugs I want?"

"All the drugs you want." Alice assured. Her bank account was loaded, so she wasn't to worried about it. She slumped against the tub, her head growing light.

"Ok," Mark complied as he kissed her back, his hand exploring happily.

Free drugs and insinuated sexual benefits with a hot girl. why was he hesitating?
she would be the death of him, literally.
oh well, might as well go out in flames "fine. but on one condition"

"What's that?" Alice mumbled, her head resting against the edge of the tub.

"Heal your wrist, and stop trying to kill yourself" James sighed, pushing himself up onto his wobbly feet

Artemis-

Alice frowned. How'd he know? She looked at her wrists, both of them bleeding and sighed. She debated being sarcastic and saying it was fun, but she didn't. She wasn't in the mood to. "Ok." She said and forced herself to her feet, falling into the counter. She sighed and grabbed the bandages and wrapped them tightly around her wrists.

Peter sighed and pushed himself into her mind, healing the wound for her
"stupid girl" he mumbled, crawling in the direction he believed her to be

Alice rolled her eyes, leaving the bandages in place. "Want me to come get you?"

Peter fell again and whacked his head, causing him to black out for a moment "no" he groaned, wanting to maintain some sense of dignity here

Alice raised her brow and went out to the pasture and let the little pony loose, telling it where to go. It happily found James, nuzzling his neck.

Mark let his hands go back to roaming her body.

"don't butt rape me" James mumbled to the horse, pulling himself up and onto its back, quickly passing back out


Artemis pulled him closer, her hands returning the favor, dancing rather low

Mark smiled as he kissed her, his hands lingering on her chest.

The pony stumbled under his weight, but managed to bring him back. Alice sighed and shook her head, pulling him off of poor little Shasta and put his arm around her neck, carrying him to the barn and dropping him in a pile of hay.

"omph" james sputtered, hay shooting up his nose and waking him up

Alice was sitting on the counter that held all the horse grooming equipment, her legs swinging idely, the Colonel muzzling her neck, making her giggle.

James blinked and sat up, swaying "wh-ere'smydrugs?" he slurred

Alice looked over at him. She sighed and shook her head, clearing his mind, healing his body from the toxins. "You'll get them. Don't worry."

The fog disappeared from his mind and the pain came rushing back in "what the hell did you do that for?" he exclaimed, feeling slightly panicked, he fumbled with his bottles, trying to find one with pills or liquid still in it

Alice scouffed. "And you call me pathetic." She grumbled, turning her attention back to Colonel, kissing his face.

James finally found a flask of rum and drank from it greedily, the pain receding as he succomed to the numbness "you know nothing about me" he hissed

"So why not tell me?" Alice looked at him, her eyes daring.
