3rd Person POV:

Scott had woken up. But he had woken up with a sharp pain. As his eyes open he saw his 'brother' holding him up with one of the tentacles that was summoned from the ground.

"Good morning 'petal' how was your sleep?" Xornoth teased. Scott's eyes widened as he heard that nickname. It was something Jimmy called him. Speaking of him, he wasn't in the room anymore. But hearing that nickname made Scott remember when that name came to life. Jimmy started calling him that since their first date in a custom cave that Scott made and a poppy petal fell on his head matching the blush on his face.

Scott was about to say something but he bit his tongue shut. It hurt but he needed to stay quiet. He didn't want to give the reaction that Xornoth was looking for. That memory of that lovely day always replays in his head. No one would be able to take it away. As he didn't talk Xornoth threw him to the ground as hard as he could.

"SCOTT" Gem yelled. She put a force field around Scott to protect him but she could only do it to one person. With both of their magic being drained they had to be careful when using it and how much they used. But then Xornoth grabbed her instead.

"Gem just protect yourself" Scott was just able to choke out as he caught his breath. He could see Gem through some bars that made a window to the cells. Her eyes looked at him with fear and sadness. But she did as he said when Xornoth threw her she caught herself and stayed in the bubble.

"Oh well, that's a shame" Xornoth laughed. "Now tell me where the crown is" He said as he stared Scott in the eyes. But Scott said nothing. "I hope you know your stubbornness is only making this worst for that Cod you care about" A sick smile formed on Xornoth's face. Then Xornoth walked out of the room. They heard talking before hearing a door shut.

Gem and Scott both looked at each other as they heard two new noises. It was confusing since they didn't know who left but they started to hear footsteps slowly getting closer. The door had a lock and they heard keys struggling to unlock them. But just as the door opened they saw who opened the door.
