Stephan paced around the cell he had been in since last night. He was thinking of a way to get out of there, but it was nearly impossible to do so. He let out a frustrated sigh, hitting his fist against the wall. His knuckles were already bruised and scratched up as it is, he didn't care much about it though. It felt good to at least feel something another than this depression and anger.

"Pst, hey, Stephan" someone whispered.

Stephan held his throbbing hand close to his chest and leaned against the wall, placing his ear on it. Great now the walls were beginning to speak to him, was he going mad? 

"Over here you idiot!" the person whisper yelled.

Across the hall was Simon and Remi, the two young dancers he had met a few months ago. He growled and turned away.

"Come on now don't be like that! We want to help you!" Remi sighed.

Stephan rolled his eyes, "yeah, help" he scoffed and sat down beside Louie who was too busy sketching on the wall to pay attention to the two boys across from them.

"No seriously Stephan! We want to help" Simon said truthfully.

"Now why would I want help from you two? For all I know you could be acting for Vincent" he snapped.

Remi frowned, "do you honestly think we would let him lock us up in this filthy place, and for what? He has nothing to offer!"

"Plus we know what he's planning to do" Simon added.

Stephan narrowed his eyes at the two, "why should I trust you two? Give me one good reason why" he said, getting up and walking towards the cage door.

Remi and Simon looked at each other then back to Stephan, holding their head down in shame.

"I'm waiting" Stephan said, folding his arms below his chest.

"Perhaps they feel bad about this all and want to help because they realized what fools they were to trust Vincent, and this is the right thing to do. Also they have no one else to go to to help them and blah blah blah, yes?" Louie looked up from his wall drawing, over to the two boys.

Stephan snorted, "you know for a goofball you sure are a smart guy" he grinned at Louie, "Especially with that head injury." 

"Oh this?" Louie pointed to his head, "Nah it's nothing, and I try" he shrugged and carried on with what he was doing.

Stephan chuckled and turned back to the two boys putting on his serious face again, "well?" he asked.

"It's true we do feel guilty" Remi sighed.

"Honestly Stephan, we're young boys, younger than you are perhaps! We have no home, Vincent tricked us and now look where we are, please let us help you.." Simon said with a pleading tone.

Stephan stared at the too boys, examining their facial expressions and their eyes. The glare he held broke and he gave in, "okay what do you guys know, do you know anything on why he wants Elspar?" he asked, grabbing onto the bars of the cage.

"Know what he wants? Yes. Why he wants Elspar particularly? No, we don't know that. Vincent only explained to us so much" said Remi.

"All we know is that he wants to become the king of all magical beings, but not only them, the town peasants as well, he's tricking the king into thinking that's all he wants when really, when he gains all that power, he will overthrow the king of his throne and take over" said Simon.
