Irene POV

I awoke with a groan, shifting slightly. I hear a clinking sound and move my arms again, which I realise are being held above my head.

"Chains...." I says softly and smirk, yanking down hard and snapping them. I stand up from my slumped position on the floor and stretch, groaning as my muscles stretch bones click.

I rub my head with the back of my hand as I look around, my eyes slowing adjusting to the darkness of the room as I realise I'm in a dungeon and have no clue as to how I got here. I stifle a yelp of fright as I look down and realise my wings and tail are out as well as my clothes have chained, my swords however are missing.

"Jess...."I say softly.

A small groan is my reply from the other end of the room. I rush over to see my sister slumped against the wall, her hands chained above her head and her wings folded behind her back, dressed in her full black clothes too, her whip and sword also missing.

"Jess?" I say again as I brush her hair out of her face. Her eyes flutter open and meet mine,"Irene?"

"It's me~" I say as I take hold of the chains on her wrists and pull hard, snapping them.

Jess stumbles foreward and I catch her in my arms, stroking her wings softly.

"Irene......what happened?" She asks, her voice shaking slighlty as she pulls back a bit and looks me dead in the eyes, her own clouded with fear and panic.

"I don't remember anything after smelling ur blood...." She continues while she reaches for my coat and pulls it down to reveal my shoulder and a bite mark that is healed and scarred over.

"I don't know....I remember changing and attacking the Sakamaki's......then black..." I say as I check her neck, tracing my finger lightly over the her scar.

"You don't think we....killed them...do you?" She asks, beginning to panic.

"No. I know we didn't. Besides, we wld be covered in blood and passed out somewhere that is not a dungeon." I say as I think about it, trying to reassure myself at the same time.

"Irene.....do you think....that...our siblings are the ones that locked us up....?" Jess askes as she starts to shake slightly in fear.

"No. They would know that these chains couldn't hold us....they aren't strong enough, and besides no-one can take us on when we are angry." I say as a smirk makes its way onto my face.

"I wasn't that angry, well, I was but I knew that the Sakamaki's wouldn't intentionally hurt us, so I was fighting against my body, trying to make it stop." She says and smiles a bit.

"Same...."I reply and hugs her again.

The door opens just then and I realise just how dark the dungein was as light pours in through the light pours through, momentarily blinding me.

I hiss softly and shield my eyes against the light, the air feels tense and heavy and as my eyes adjust to the light and the Sakamaki's come into view, I realise why.

Reiji has bruises on his face and neck. Ayato has bandages wrapped around his chest and a fang mark on his neck which is healing rather slowly. Laito has a bruise on his cheek and Subaru is clutching his stomach, Shu holds him up. Shu and Kanato seem fine though and I smile a little, glad we didn't go all out attack mode on them. Well....almost all out...
