Astronomy Tower

I laugh, "Like you'd go get it any way! I bet the moment I let go you'll whip out your wand and blast me..." I throw him to the ground, letting go of his throat.

-I cough a bit.- "But... I'd rather... Make a counter offer..."

"Really? And what would that be?" I don't have any interest or enthusiasim in my voice.

"Well... if you make sure Sarah or yourself kills Crest, then I give the antidote in a heartbeat."

Sam: I gasp, my heart racing. "No..." I whisper.

Jack: I glare, "That would kill her anyway!! She'd never be happy again!"

"Would you rather her EMOTIONALLY dead, or casket dead?"

"But I'm not much of a fan of third parties. So if this REALLY means that much to you, you can kill Persephone instead."

Jack: I glare, "If you want them dead so badly, why don't you just do it yourself9!"

Sam: I sit down, just crying to myself. Lives are at stake, just because of me... While they're arguing and discussing this, I send a letter to Crest that says:

'Crest... Crouch has sent Sarah after Persephone, and might possibly kill you, and now is using me against Jack. He wants both you and Persephone dead. Please come see me soon... I'm scared and depressed and just can't handle all this. I love you...

-Sam'

Crouch: -Crazy Grin- "Because I don't profit enough that way... besides, it matters like this, I prefer not getting my hands dirty."

Letter:

-A letter flies back.-

Dearest,
Thank you for letting me know. I'm well and I'll be sure to use the information to stay alive.

I'll come to you when I can, but sadly, my current status forbids me spending much time in public.

Love you too,
Crest

Jack: "You cowardly bastard..."

Sam: I read the letter, thankful he could reply. I write back:

'Okay... I hope to see you soon! I need you... Is there a way we can communicate quickly without using owls (so it's not so suspicious to others)?'

Crouch: -I chuckle insanely.- "That is not saying much from the man who fled after hurting everyone who cared about him."

Letter: -A crumpled up letter arrive back with what looks like two buttons that would be found on a coat. The note only said these words-

"Go where no one is."

Jack: "Well, what would you do if you tortured your wife and scared off your kids, hm?"

Sam: I walk to the bottom of the tower, not seeing anyone. I look at the buttons, wondering what to do.

OOC On my phone, so I can't be 2 places at once

OOC No problem, I understand!

IC

Crouch: -Crazy Grin- "I wouldn't have done that in the first place... so who's the real villain here?"

Crest: -My image appears on the buttons.- "Sam? Can you hear me?" -My voice is whispering.-

Jack: "How would you know? You're just as insane as I... You could even do it against your will..."

Sam: I take a sigh of relief, seeing Crest. "Oh Crest, thank goodness... I'm so scared and worried... I miss you."

Crouch: "Yes but unlike you, I'm loyal to my family..."

Image of Crest: "I miss you too dearest, I'm glad this worked, I tampered with my old Strayer pin to make this so now only you and Meredia can contact me."

Jack: "How the hell would you know?! You're not me! You haven't been inside my head and seen what I've been through!"

Sam: "I'm glad you did too! Crest, I'm so scared... All these lives are at stake... Because of me." Tears are flowing down my face. "I want to be with you..."

Crouch: -Crazy Grin- "Shall I change that?"

Crest: "They aren't at stake because of you, they are because of Crouch's greed. And because of me. Stay strong dearest."

Jack: I throw my poisoned dagger at him, "I'll die first..."

Sam: "I'm just always scared... Sarah's off finding that Persephone woman, Crouch is trying to kill Jack to kill you... I miss you..."

Crouch: "Protego! This is counter productive!"

Crest: "I miss you too, and I'd give ANYTHING right now to be by you."

Jack: "Well, I'm sure you think you had a bad life? Were you bullied every single day without a friend in the world from the time you were born to college? Were you beaten every single day by your father without mercy? Have you ever felt regret and pain for the things you have done?!!!!"

Sam: "Well. This is closer than writing letters." I smile at him, longing to actually be next to him.

Crouch: "YES!!!" -I shout at him.- "Only... I feel regret and pain for the things I DIDN'T do back then..."

Crest: -I smile back at her.- "One day maybe..."

OOC Back on the computer. Watched a kinda freaky movie, so now I'm feeling anxious... But, I am borrowing the Dark Knight!

IC Jack: Hmm... Maybe we understand each other more than I thought. "What didn't you do then?"

Sam: "Maybe...?"

OOC AWESOME! You picked a good one to start with!

IC

Crouch: "I didn't kill my father before he ruined my life..."

Crest: "Maybe we can finally get wed."

Jack: "Really? I feel terrible for many things... That I didn't stand up for myself... That I lost my two daughters and my wife because of my stupid mistake...!" I'm a terrible person...

Sam: I smile at the thought, "That would be amazing!"

OOC Yeah! Has the Joker on the cover!

But seriously, I'm feeling really anxious now... I mean, the point of it was to watch a scary movie, but it had to be PG or less... I didn't think I'd be that affected by it, but it freaked me out... I really don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...

OOC What movie was it?

IC

Crouch: "And now you have the chance to correct your mistake..."

Crest: "Yes it would, but given the circumstances it would have to be incredibly small."

Sam: "But at least we'd be married..."

OOC I forgot the whole name, but it had the word "Guillotine" in it, and it was an OLD black and white movie...
