[If Nick were himself, he'd let Xander go. Try to herd him around towards the exit, maybe, but he wouldn't go after him.
But he's not himself. Being a Grimm might protect him from the worst affects of this place, but it's still getting to him, and all he can think is what he was afraid of earlier - seeing the way Xander went overboard on the beings in this place, knowing the resembled Anthony, and the terror of what would happen if Xander went after Anthony like he did that creature. Like he was doing now, to Nick himself.
When Xander tries to get away, paranoia sets in, and Nick's only thought is that he's trying to go after Anthony.
He needs to incapacitate him, needs to figure out a way to take him out quick, and for long enough to get him out of here. But it's still Xander, and Nick is still himself enough - still cares enough - that the idea of hurting him more is really upsetting.
So he goes for the only option he can think of, the only thing that he knows will work to take Xander out of commission for a little while, but not have any really negative affects. Or at least, not that he knows of.
Nick bites his lip and the inside of his cheek, hard enough to break through the skin, and then pulls Xander in for a kiss.]

[Xander was only able to get a few steps away before Nick -- no, the "creature" -- grabs a hold of him again. Despite still gasping for breath, he struggles against the other being while stepping backwards. He knew he was at a disadvantage and he couldn't resort to using his shadow mimicry again without taking this thing with him.
Maybe, just maybe, his healing ability would injure it instead of repairing the injury he had made. It was a risk he was willing to take. He tightens his grip around the "creature" and hopes that the burn that came along with the healing would be enough for it to let go.
Except, it doesn't last long when the being suddenly gets in close to kiss him. None of the previous monsters didn't try anything like this. What could he do in a situation like this? He couldn't go for a low blow, it wouldn't feel it. Biting would only result in tasting rotten flesh and old blood. But, he couldn't do that when he was still recovering from being hit in the solar plexus. The "creature" was already kissing him and he could taste a copper liquid in his mouth. This wasn't good.
A muffled grunt that became another wheeze escaped him as he tries to pull away, only to have his back meet with a wall. He was cornered and he couldn't stop his body from swallowing the liquid that was in his mouth. Not long afterwards, dark veins started to appear on his body as his eyes turn completely black and his coordination starts to fail while his injuries bled. He couldn't keep himself upright and he wanted to vomit, purge the foreign substance from his body. As for that knife? It vanished from the floor.
This creature had him right where it wanted him. Weak and defenseless. It would have no issue with finishing him off if someone didn't interfere.]
no subject
Nick breaks away after he hears Xander swallow. He knows it doesn't take that much, that it won't - and then he sees the black eyes, the dark veins, the way Xander can't hold himself up. Maybe he'd over-estimated it, when he thought doing this wouldn't hurt him.]
Shit. Shit, I-
[He cuts off, stepping away from the wall - though he doesn't let go of Xander, now trying to hold him up.]
Xan, can you hear me? Come on, man, it's Nick, do you know who I am?
no subject
Then he heard a familiar voice, which was distorted slightly, who was cursing and calling him by his nickname. A look of confusion crosses his face as he tries to place it. It was difficult to lift his head at the moment and for what he could see was a creature, not Nick. He knew he was being moved, but couldn't do anything to stop it.]
...Yeah. I -- [Sharp inhale.] -- can hear you. You... don't look like Nick.
[He didn't even know why he was talking to it, especially after everything that just happened. Speaking was rather difficult to do right now, but if it could prolong the creature from taking action against him, he'd try it.]
I... didn't know... you could talk. [A bit of a strained chuckle escapes him.] I bet... you're pretty pissed... for what we're doing here.
no subject
[It's out before he really means it to be - but ridiculously, it makes him feel better. That it really was because Xander didn't recognize him, that lead him to attack like that.
He tries a smile - not that it'll matter much, if he doesn't look like himself to Xander.]
Nah, not pissed. Just a little freaked out, here.
no subject
Due to... intruders invading your home, right?
[Thankfully, the dark veins start to fade and his blue eyes return. Nick's blood had cancelled out whatever process was going on within him, allowing him to regain his footing on his own and not be so much dead weight. The sudden change was startling, but he couldn't feel that 'second skin' covering his injuries. That wasn't good. Instead of struggling against the being that was dragging him away, he brings a free hand to his torso, hoping to stop the bleeding. There was a good chance that it might get infected due to his clothes being dirty.]
no subject
[And a hundred other things, not in the least including Xander attacking him and still not recognizing him and Anthony still being down here somewhere, but he doesn't want to go into a list right now.]
We need to get you out of here.
no subject
Honestly? I kind of deserve it. [Another strained chuckle escapes him before it turns in to a wheeze.] ...Since I attacked first. You were... only defending yourself.
no subject
Might think differently when we're out of here, I'll get back to you on that.
[He shrugs out of his hoodie, turning it inside out - it's already sliced open and stained with his own blood, a little more won't make a difference - and presses it against Xander's side.]
Can you walk?
no subject
As for that comment, a small scoff escapes him before it turns in to another grunt. It didn't help that the creature was using its own clothing to use a bandage.]
...Almost. I don't know why... I'm telling you that.
[He was steadily getting back his coordination and feeling better that he wasn't moving differently than what his brain wanted.]
no subject
He just hopes that when they get out of here, whatever effect this place has is reversed.]
Because I'm the guy who's going to make sure nothing else gets to you while we get out of here.
no subject
[It was hard to say that he would be okay with being killed off like this. His own reckless actions got him in to this situation and was too reliant on his new abilities.]
no subject
It's only marginally successful.]
I never wanted to hurt you, Xan, I just wanted you to stop. To get out of here before things got worse.
no subject
...That's what they all say. [A weak chuckle escapes him.] They never want to hurt me and they do so anyways.
