Chapter 27a: Interrogation, Judgement, and Death?! (1)

Obsidian's Perspective
     Oh, finally!!! I thought I was gonna break before I was let out!

Gordon and Ryan escorted me to an small, empty room using a pre-made portal. Feels like Ryu's Magic. At least it's larger than that cell.~ The thick cuffs chaffing my wrists were getting really irritating.

A grainy delivery of what was said gave me the chills, "So, how was your day?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure. It was freakin boring in that tiny cell, especially for my large size." The ends of my lips curled upward slightly, eyes sewed shut.
I could tell there was a slight shift in his mood before he quickly put his mask back on. "Oh, you weren't comfortable? Gordon, take off his restraints."
"What!? Sir - you can't be serious!! Just because he's your nephew, doesn't mean-"
"You will stay silent!!!" I've never heard Uncle Hiro yell like that.

"Well - Thunder Hunter - this is the first time you been so worked up, does it have something to do with why you're the one interrogating me?"
I could hear a slight growl rumbling in his throat. Metallic jingling was ringing from behind as Gordon's mumbling became even clearer to me. Then, there was a sigh of defeat in front of me. "There's no way I can hide anything from you. After the attacks across the world, we have been a little short-staffed, I was the only one qualified enough to do it."
After some purposeful struggling with my chains and him twisting my wrists, Gordon finally let me go. A quick sigh escaped my muzzle. Wrists were aching and rubbing them made the pain ease a bit.
"I see. That makes sense."

He continued to ask me questions, and I wasn't found out on what I was doing. The problem is when I get into the courtroom later today. Will I be able to keep it a secret with that thing there?

Jackson's Perspective
"Oh, come on!!! You know you love it!"
     "No one but you likes that stuff!!" I had a spoonful of my favorite ice cream.
"Come on... JUST. EAT IT." I tried forcing it in his mouth. With my obviously superior strength, I though it could get it in there...
"Get that disgusting stuff AWAY!!!" All I know, is that I open my eyes and I'm drenched with people laughing at me.
Of course they're laughing, karma and I look like a drowned rat. "Come on just try it agai-" I paused as I looked at my hand. "NOOOO!!! My ice cream." My fake tears basically making a puddle. I crawled over to Percy in defeat. "Please - please buy another..."
His cheeks were burnt pink. "W-why should I!?"
"You're the one who messed it up!"
He retorted instantly, "But you bothered me." He crosses his arms as my grasp on his ankle weakened until release. "Hey," I could tell there was a change I tone so I was alert. "Why aren't you going to his trial?"
     I laughed stupidly. "Because there's no way he'd be locked up. He didn't do anything wrong." His soft eyes fell onto me and I fell in love all over again. It wasn't like an ocean, more of a puddle. One you can see through, and one that I can see myself in forever.
     With a swirl of his finger, he dried up all the water. A smile plastered on his face.

Obsidian's Perspective
     It was quiet. The velvet covered walls were almost comforting, as if it's purpose was to trick those prosecuted into a false sense of security.

I'm going to be honest, I kind of blanked out on trial. I made sure to answer the questions and stuff with a smile, but it was a joke. All going to plan.
"We hereby find, Obsidian Felix McKnight, innocent on charges against 'humanity' and conspiring with demons." My sister and father got up filled with joy. I saw Brett next to them with a concerned look.

     I remember how dad was so excited that Allie was dating another Aloskian (a•LOW•shkin; dialect). He really likes him. It'll be hilarious-
There was lots of cheering. I could hear the large crowds of people outside, it was insanely rambunctious. My ears flattened a bit to my head, tail drooped, but I kept up my face.
When my dad ran up, I could tell he was ecstatic about my soon-to-be release. "I knew you wouldn't side with those filthy barbarians!!"
All of that cool-headedness I had before was almost thrown out in an instant. I could still feel banging in my mind. Would you shut the heck up in there!!!?
Another voice, one filled with sinister intentions, swallowed my consciousness for a moment, "Haha!!! You can't keep me here for much longer, Obsidian. You'll break eventually..."
     I shook off the annoyance. "Father," his face shifted to an almost fearful look. "I did talk to a demon."
     He just stood there without an expression. It broke my heart but I stood firm. It looked as if his whole world crashed on on him. Alabaster was pinching between her eyes in frustration and anticipation. "WHAT!!!?" Pure rage escaped from his muzzle. I only remember this level of anger after figuring out that my mother cheated on him a second time.
     Beast-men and humans alike were drawn in by his outburst. Cameras that were about to be turned off, were now putting us on center stage for the entire world to see.
     "I tricked the orb by answering with half-truths. I did indeed talk to a demon periodically." His large body's heaving was getting me a little anxious. "BUT!!! I'm not conspiring against us mortals!"
     Whispers of disbelief were swirling in the room. That is until I taken aback by what must have been a boulder. It happened so quickly even I didn't notice it. My father, who's now clenching his fist so hard that red began dripping from it, had slugged me good on international television.
     I wiped the small trickle of blood onto my shoulder. As security took hold of me and pushed me out. Alabaster had to keep my dad away since no one else there could.
