'Sorry everybody, I have something I need to do. Something I should've done sooner' You thought still glaring at the evil version of yourself as the goo completely curled around your eyes. Encasing you in darkness. 

~~~~

The dark was really starting to tick you off.

Like. REALLY tick you off.

But there wasn't much you could do. 

All you could do is stare at the bars that you could barely see. And stare at them you did. 

Straining your ears at the creaks and moans the ceiling sometimes made from people walking above.

The crude magick-stealing cuffs hanging loosely from your wrists, but not to lose as to slip them off. 

It's been at least a day. Which will be well enough time to let your family know that something had happened. And something bad.

Since the black attack unwound from your form you haven't uttered a sound. Even when the golden thorn choker was taken off. Not a peep was heard from your lips. 

Of course, Cain took that as that you would comply silently. To not rebel.

He was wrong as per usual when it came to you, you were simply biding your time, saving your energy. Because you knew from previous experiences that you would need it. 

But there was also something else. There was someone else in the cell with you. 

They were not aggressive, that's for sure. You've heard the shaky breaths they've been trying to keep silent.

And from the energy they were expelling from behind you, they were really, really scared.

Part of you wanted to turn around and see who you were sharing this dismal experience with. So you could save them as well if necessary.

'Cause that's just what you did when surrounded by the dark. 

You saved someone.

But the other part of you said that you shouldn't turn around. You shouldn't mingle with a possible enemy. That was the frightened part of you. The more cautious, logical, and serious part of you.

It was screaming at you this time. You had gotten captured again. It had been telling you that you should've been getting ready for another attack, but what did you do? You brushed it aside and procrastinated. Man, you were such a brat. You don't want anybody hurting your family but you do nothing to get stronger than your enemies and now you had to pay for it.

But, there was never harm in meeting someone, so you told your brain to shut up and asked into the black:

"So, What you in for?" 

Silence.

"I got abducted while playing a game with my family." You continued "Kind of hilarious, cause they don't realize that I'm not meant to keep locked up."

More Silence.

You smiled. Their breathing got heavier, you kept yours nice and calm still keeping your eyes directed at the bars. More specifically, the lock.

Then after a few minutes, a rough, melancholy, female voice echoed from behind you.

"W-What do you mean by that?" It said weakly. As if they hadn't used it in a long time.

Your smile grew a bit, chuckling you replied to their question.

"They've tried once before, and I got out. So I'll just get out again."
