A million things raced through her head as she nodded her head to him. "I know. You're strong..." Maybe she shouldn't half carry him, maybe he might kill her in the end... but wouldn't death by someone just be much easier than death by the one she was betraying? The thought was hard and center, but it disappeared fleetingly because there was far more to worry about in that moment.
Leading him through the halls, she sought out the secret tunnels that she and Sebastian used sometimes when he had an errand to run he didn't want his men knowing about. A few guards had to be knocked out to get there... but she got them both there and toward the exit. Open ground... they needed to run. Not drag themselves across open space where men on watch might see them. Moving him to sit on near the tunnel entrance, she smiled at him gently.
"I should have done this sooner..." Smoothing his hair back she meant more than just healing him. She meant getting him out of there. And when she started to heal him, she realized it would take far of her magic more than planned. But she needed to get him away... And magic couldn't carry him if he couldn't make it. "It's... it's Alec right?" Finding more wounds, she poured her magic into him healing them and mending what she could. But she was getting weaker.
"Alec... you're going to have to run. Get away from here..." She felt more exhausted the longer she worked at it. But just a little more... "Get home. Find a way to stop him." And it killed her to think she couldn't help. But her going now would get them both killed. Her hands shook as she finished and everything felt foggy around the edges.
Sinking down on her heels, she pushed her hands into her lap to keep him from seeing how badly they shook from the exhaustion. Lifting dilated feline eyes to him, the normal vibrant gold looked flat and dull from using too much magic. "I know I won't make it far... not like this..."
