"[OFF WITH YOUR HEAD]!"

Riddle's unique magic had casted and immediately reached you and the others. But the moment you felt something heavy shackled on your neck, the quick it was to vanish. Yet you can still somehow feel the weight that sent your pulse quickening that caused you to caress your throat for a moment and inhale sharply through the grit of your teeth.

Unfortunately, the same thing didn't happen to them of course. You suspected you were an exemption because you don't have any magic.

"Trey, Cater! I want them thrown off the premises this instant!" With no choice, the said third years couldn't disobey their majesty's orders and obeyed without hesitation, and the two of them were disappointing to look at.

"No worries, we can walk out ourselves..." You seethed at them with a hand tightly gripping the body of your umbrella and you were quick to give Ace and Deuce a nod who were quick enough to follow and darted away.

Turning to Riddle once more, your demeanor and gaze had changed drastically as they were screaming hostility. The words that unconsciously left your lips marked a speechless expression on not only to the housewarden, but including Trey and Cater's as well.

And probably looks of horror from the students but you didn't care less.

"Down with the bloody Red Queen."

Drip, drip, drip...

The way you said it was laced in venom that already ran through Riddle's veins, which caused him to freeze in his tight spot. With that opportunity to escape, you didn't hesitate to step back and turned away to catch up with the others. As you kept hearing the sound of hollow drips, falling down to a neverending void as it echoed to the back of your mind.

So empty, and it felt like it was sinking.

You don't like the sound of it.

Reuniting back with the others, you suspected that the two third years were following you, and you were right. Considering that you come to understand why they couldn't disobey Riddle, it was because they've been with him for most of the time. Saying that he meant no harm which you did not believe.

Nevertheless, you're still disappointed for them to tolerate such acts.

"Alright, [m.name]-chan and friends, later~!"

"I'm sorry." Spoke Trey, "We'll convince him to let you back with another apology..."

"That won't be necessary." You spat.

"[m.name], you do know that's the ru-"

"If you have a rule that might risk killing you, will you follow it then like obedient dogs?" You snapped, a glare of disappointment evident and they all stood silent. Not knowing what to argue next.

You continued, eyes narrowing, "The fact that you stayed silent and obeyed... It's like asking to be imprisoned forever. He's foolish, tell him that or I'll tell him myself!"

Everyone stood silent as you turned your back on them to aid the others who were being shackled. Trey and Cater then left and shut the gate without a word. It was a sad reality that they have just realized that you were right, but at the same time they didn't know what to do because they're trapped.

They also hoped for someone to help them unbind these shackles when all they felt all this time was suffocation.

"You guys alright?" You shifted worriedly to your friends, who were in obvious pain at the weight on their necks. They nodded but you noticed the lack of response from Ace.
