Knockturn Alley

Sam: I try to help him think, wanting to help him all that I can. But sadly, I come up blank.

Azula: I open the door, letting him. "I see that you've made it... They're in the basement... The closest place I have to a cell."

Query: "Good, it seems you're half-way competent at least... show me to them."

I roll my eyes and show him to the basement, unlocking the door.

Query: "Ahh... Steven Strayer.... how good of you to join us. Hey, here's a riddle: What house stores men that all want to get out of it?"

Crest: I stay silent and glare at him.

Query: "Oh come along it's more fun when you play."

... This is him? I look at him from head to toe, making sure to stay close to Crest. Though, just by his first words spoken, he seems more to hurt the brain with riddles than harm physically...

"And what about you, other one... do you know the answer?"

I shake my head, not wanting to even guess; not wanting to give this man behind all this the satisfaction...

'ohhh... you're both boring me. Azula, please do what you will with them, everything short of permanent damage."

Azula: I smirk, my hands already igniting. "I'll gladly force them to think about it..." I look at Crest, an evil, malicious glint in my eyes. "I'll start with this one..." I take a hold of Sam, burning a part of her other arm, making it spread to her wrist.

Sam: I shout out in pain, trying to focus, but in too much pain to focus on anything.

Crest: "Prison! It's a prison, Query. It's also where you're going after this!"

Query: "Not very likely, I've done several crimes that have never been traced back to me or even noticed."

Azula: I let go, grinning with the thrill that came with that.

Sam: I'm shaking, almost in shock with the pain and looking at the new burn I have.

Query: "You'll thank me for exposing Eagle as a fraud."

Crest: I stay silent and keep up my glare while treating Sam's burn.

The pain... The searing pain... It almost feels worse than getting tortured by Jack or Crouch... I can't stop looking at my hand, looking dazed, trembling with shock.

Azula: I smirk, enjoying the pain I've caused this couple...

"Not the most talkative is he?"

OOC LOL! xD

IC "No... I only get him to cooperate when I'm hurting the weakling he loves so much..."

"Hmmm..." My interest is suddenly peaked.

"what is your name, she who is loved by the bait?"

I don't want to tell him... I'm still in shock... But I don't want him to hurt Crest... "S-s-samantha..."

"Well Samantha, how would you like to be a contestant in a game of wits? Should you win, you can save Crest's life."

Wits... Not my best subject... I'm not really any good at anything except drawing. "A-and if I l-lose?"

I shrug, "then he or you or both are left to Azula." I give Azula a look as if to say, 'don't worry, I don't mean any of this, he's yours.'

I gulp, then look at Crest, scared out of my mind. I'm so scared, scarred, and shocked that I'm shaking uncontrollably.

"Don't Sam, he's only toying with you."

I just stand there, thinking for a few long minutes. On one hand, I'm curious, but on the other... I'm terrified, in shock, and I trust Crest more than anyone in this world... "N-no... I don't think I s-s-should..."

"Ohhh but it would've been fun..."

"To you... You're smarter than I am... I probably would've lost..."
