(Entity's POV:)

  I used Lyra's wristband to teleport back to my base, and grasp the side of my neck, and burst out laughing. Oh that witch! She just made my job a good thousand times easier. I laughed, as I walked down the stone halls of the Red Legion base. I walked around for a few minutes, before turned towards an iron door, and opened it.

  Sitting there was Rain. He was on his cot, scribbling something down on a piece of parchment before spotting me.

  "What is that?" I shout, walking over to him. He hid the parchment and small piece of charcoal behind his back.

"G-Grocery list?" He blurted out. I rolled my eyes, walk over to him, and snatch it from him.

"You are hardly allowed outside this damn cell! Why did you think that would be a good excuse." I shout at the man, as I read through it quickly. It was a note to a the kid, 'Leon'. I remember that boy back from when we tried to raid the Frostbourne. The kid I tried to shoot if not for that damn little girl.

  "Give that back Entity." He said, reaching for it, however, he is rather short compared to me, so I just held it up out of his reach.

  "I think I might burn it."

  His end eye began to show, as he jumped up and grabbed it from my hands. I growled, and smacked him upside the head. He only laughed.

  "If this is your best attempt in hurting me, I've seen you do so much worse!" He laughed, clearly having a death wish. "Go on! Do worse!"

  I clench my fists, and kick him into the brick wall, cracking some of the stone. Whatever, I'll heal him when I need to use him again later. The kid coughed up blood before looking back at me. "Is that the best you've got..." He answered weakly, wiping the blood from his mouth on his destroyed hoodie. I grab him by the collar, pull him up, and before I go to punch him, someone opened the door.

  "Entity?" Irifash said, entering the room. "I need to speak to you about our positions for the plan."

   I sigh, dropping the kid on the ground, before turning to the queen. "What is it Irifash?"

  "Are you sure these plans are... complex enough? Based on our other plans, they'll find us out in minutes. Are you sure this is enough."

  My eyes narrowed, "Do you have any better ideas?" I snap, "Go on! I would love to hear!"

  She paused for a minute, before shaking her head, "No, I do not. But if we were to have any more information on their plans-"

  "AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM!" I scream, "WHILE YOU AND THAT ENDKIN SCUM WERE CHIT CHATTING AND BEING ALL BESTIES, SHE WAS SELLING US OUT TO THE HUMANS! SO NOW, WE DON'T HAVE INFORMATION, OR ANYONE TO GIVE IT TO US!"

  She paused for a minute, her pairs of red eyes closing, as if you ponder something. When they opened, the spider queen pointed towards the child, coughing against the wall. "What about him?"

I look at him, than back to her, and laugh, "Oh Notch, you really think that's a smart idea! You are even dumber than I took you for!" I laugh harder, "SENDING OUR HOSTAGE TO SPY FOR US! YOU'VE GOT TO BE MENTAL!"

  "He's the only one here they will hesitate to kill, and knows the place as well as Lyra." My blood boiled when she said her name. "He is our best chance in getting us information and getting back alive sir."

  "And how do you suppose we'd get him to talk? Let alone come back here!" I growled at her.

  "I don't know! A spell? Some sort of shock collar that'll kill him if he's not back in X amount of time? Some sort of binding?" She said, when all of a sudden, it hit me! I looked back at the prisoner, and smiled.
