Because her dress was still a bit wet from before, Sazael sat on the ground in the corner of her cell, all curled up with her knees pressed to her chest. Her blue hair fell over her shoulders as she put her forehead to her knees. She went over the events that happened today, which seemed so unreal. Did they really happen? She knew she had felt the pain from before but now, her entire body felt numb. The urge to make sure she was still completely there overwhelmed her, and she dug her fingers into the cut on her cheek. She made sure they had made direct contact with her flesh, which sent more waves of intense pain through her body. Out of pain, she let out gasps and a few groans. Yes, Sazael was alive and all these events had happened. As she removed her hand, she could see her fingertips covered in blood once more and she felt as if her wound, which was also dripping blood, had only gotten bigger. Not bothering to care about the red liquid any more, she lifted her head and leaned against the cell walls. She definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.

After getting himself together Georgio was surprised that the man named Julius helped him out. Whatever that stuff that he gave Georgio it worked. He was feeling better thanks to Spirit and Julius. The new guy Eli was kind of annoying to Georgio; that was a big thing Georgio never got annoyed by anyone. Eli was just to much to handle right now. All Georgio could think about now was to get some good sleep. He would need it after this ordeal. Georgio got back into a his..."cage". Whatever the next challenge was he would face it and get it over with. He wouldn't look like a fool again.

Keith smiled as he shook Julius' hand, slightly unnerved by how cold it was. He knew how cold a hand could be sometimes; as a child, he had usually forgone his gloves when he played in the winter's snow, and he almost always touched his warm arm afterward to gauge how cold his hands were. It was more out of curiosity than anything else, really. But this man's hand was a whole new level of cold, though in a way he didn't understand, it was actually somewhat pleasant. Keith was about to attempt a change in subject when he saw the top-hatted man throwing up after he'd finished getting his share of gemstones. He would have tried to help him if the young lady and Julius had not beaten him to it. Once again, he was reminded of how kind everyone else seemed to be, and he was glad for it.

Serena came along with an orange-haired man in tow. As she spoke, Keith noticed that she glanced at him for a little too long, as if she too could sense what he had forgotten. Did she remember, perhaps? Or did she also lack their shared memories? It was unlikely she would tell him either way. He walked over to the rest of his clothes, putting them on before returning to the cells.

Julius handed out hidden rations of food from within his cell, and Keith ate his own slowly, too burdened by his own thoughts to care about taste or texture. He overheard the conversation between the man introduced as Eli and Jarrett, and wholeheartedly agreed with Jarrett, though Eli had a point about sleeping. How could he sleep when his family was probably worried for him as it was? Sure, they might assume that he had gotten lost on his way home and would find the way back soon enough, but that could only last for so long. Keith turned to Jarrett. "I know this may sound like a silly question, but would it be at all possible for us to send a letter or two while Serena isn't looking?"
 
Ryan lay face down on his bed, with his feet suspended off the side. he was so damn tired, but he couldnt sleep. He couldnt tell how long he had been sitting there for, but the anxiety of him being covered in someone else's blood again wouldnt leave his head. He remembered back to his days in the army, and the faces of all the friends he had made flashed before him, using his eyelids as a backdrop. Each and every one of these friends... he had watched die. He had been covered with his their blood on that day and this challenge had made those memories that he had been trying to suppress for so long come back in force. He rolled onto his side and drew his knees up to his chest, and let out a yell that was riddled with anger, despair, remorse and hopelessness...

He didnt think that he would be able to take another challenge if it involved that much blood again. He looked over to the other side of his cell. His clothes were piled up in the corner. He stood up and walked over, then put them back on. The dry clothes made him feel slightly better, but he still knew he wouldnt get any sleep. He sat back down on his bed and put his face in his hands. This was going to be a long night.
 
Jarrett shrugged at Keith's question, looking over his shoulder at the door that Julius had walked into. "Julius could sneak letters out of here possibly.. I mean I've never asked him about it." He pointed to the door as Eli asked where Julius had went. He himself wasn't sure what exactly Julius was; He didn't dare to ask, though. His thoughts were suddenly stopped as Abigale entered the room with a key, locking the door again she smiled looked over the prisoners. "Where is Julius?" Jarrett pointed to the door, and Abigale grinned, nodding as she walked to the door. She unlocked it slowly, shutting it as she entered the dark room. It was lit with only one candle, illuminating Julius' back as he sat in a chair facing the wall. "Julius.. She's not warming up to me. We need to find a way to get that vial." Julius turned to her, hugging her slightly before nodding. "I'm afraid we don't have much time... Serena most definitely will not let these people leave this building.. We have to do something." Abigale shook her head, opening the vial that hung around her neck. A glittery substance landed on Julius' chest, though he paid it no mind. "We'll find a way."
 
After being told where to go he hesitated for a moment until he'd heard someone else ask the whereabouts of Julius. 'Popular guy huh?' sarcastically he thought, he then followed behind the girl until she entered the room and locked the door being her. Being the nosey person he is he listened in on there conversation hearing every word he smirked to himself. 'So I thought correctly indeed Julius is a vital piece In this game... Although I may not know what's fully going on here I'm going to find out pretty soon.' Looking around he moved away from the door and sat near a wall in deep thought; trying to piece the puzzle together and make his next move.
 
Upon entering the Manor that she was invited to, Miya turned around to see if there was anybody there. In turn, she got knocked out by a shadowy figured. But the time she awakened, she found herself being dragged in a dark hall, afterwards, she was pushed into a random room. What kind of Manor was this? Sure felt like a prison. As she sat down on a nearby bed, she started cradling her belly. "Its okay, sweetie. We'll make it out of here alive..." She closed her eyes and wept silently, worried for herself and her baby. Because her dress was a bit wet, she used the lighting to see that there was a bit of blood. Was it her's? When she started feeling around her belly, she started panicking, at least until the baby kicked, which meant that it was okay. She then tried to relax herself. Her nightmare was unfortunately about to come true...
 
Abigale exited the room, shaking her head. Everyone, including herself, had been asleep for more than six hours. She had slept in a chair opposite Julius, though both of them had no need to sleep. Vampires never had to sleep. It was just something they did to comfort themselves.

She clapped loudly, walking around the room. The room itself was dimly lit from a window which had bars in front of it. "Listen up, everyone! We're going to start the next task soon!" She looked to the pregnant women, frowning slightly. Serena must have pushed her in there while everyone slept.

She knelt down, placing a hand on the woman's pregnant stomach. She looked over at the main clipboard sitting on the bed nearest to the woman; In turn, she picked it up, noticing the new name that was scrawled across the paper. Miya. "Hello, Miya... Would you like some food?"

Abigale left for a moment, returning with a tray of food. Julius had the other trays, slowly passing them around. His long gray hair was no longer tinged red, though his eyes shown a sign of sadness. Abigale smiled over at Miya, her eyes glancing to her stomach. "Do not fear.. Just follow the tasks and you'll get out. I promise you this." Julius stared at the pregnant woman, shocked that Serena would stoop so low as to have a pregnant prisoner. Though he said nothing, he took his vial of blood out and began to slowly sip.
 
Tears riddled Miya's face. She had a nightmare of this place before...But she never thought it would come to life. When she heard announcements about tasks, she became worried. Obviously she was frightened. She's in a Manor that is probably haunted and she is eight months pregnant. When a woman dressed in black entered her cell, knelt down and placed a hand on her stomach, Miya couldn't help but stare at the fingernails. She started breathing a bit heavily, mostly out of fear. Those nails did seem sharp enough to puncture her belly, which worried her. When she was asked that she would like something to eat, she slowly nodded.

When the Woman in Black returned with a tray, which had food and water on it, she was still shaking. Miya then took note that the woman was glancing at her stomach. She couldn't help but cry. "Please! Don't hurt me! I'm pregnant!" She cried. But when she was reassured that she was going to be okay, as long as she did the 'tasks', which would grant her freedom, she hoped that she wouldn't have to take any lives, because she was already carrying one inside her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a man dressed in black as well, staring at her. When she saw the vial of blood...She couldn't help but think of what would happen to the baby if she was bitten. After regaining her composure, she figured that she'd eat up while she could, mainly to nourish her baby, but also to keep her strength up...Hopefully she wouldn't have to do anything too strenuous, but she was ready to take on any challenge in all honesty if it meant giving her child a chance at life.

Sazael, who hadn't been able to sleep as much, was already awake when Abigale woke everyone else up. The blue-haired girl stood up slowly to receive the food, which she had no appetite for once again, from Julius. She set down the food down beside the food from yesterday that she didn't eat. If she kept going like that, she'd probably collapse or lose all her strength soon. As she did, she could hear a woman, someone new, cry about how she was pregnant. Pregnant? Why would she even come here if she was pregnant? It was ridiculous. Based on the tasks so far, the woman would have a hard time on whatever was next.

While listening, Sazael took a moment to look herself over. The tips of her hair were still stained red with blood, the same with her dress, which was now a few inches above her knee. She touched her cheek lightly, which had bits of dry blood and the cut itself was still quite bad after she jammed her fingers in it. When she touched it again, it immediately stung and pulled away. A soft sigh escaped her lips. At least the pregnant woman, Miya is what Abigale called her, didn't have to go through possibly cutting herself, cutting another, or getting cut. Surely any one of those ways could contribute in a bad way for her baby.
 
Eli awoke with a jump he had fell asleep thinking of his next move, the sudden announcement had startled him. Rubbing his cramped neck he pulled out his pocket watch. "Damn, ten minutes past." Rummaging through his pockets he pulled out his Tramadol and Acetaminophen. Placing 3 of each of them in his hand he closed them and tucked them back into his pocket. Licking his lips he opened his mouth and squeezed his eyes closed as he swallows his medication. Julius handed a tray to Eli and he took it rubbing his temples. The woman had been talking about next tasks to everyone, promising we'd go free if we finished them. He watched as Julius drank more of his saved blood. 'What is it that makes him thirst for blood?.' Something started to run down his face from his nose wiping it with his hand he felt something moist and looked. It had a metallic smell; blood coming from his nose. Cursing under his breath and hoped no one had seen. Eli was always sick as a boy booth mentally and physically he'd dissect animals and save the organs calling it research she all he really wanted to do was watch them squirm under his grasp, watch as the last bit of the life faded from there eyes. Later he would pleasure himself thinking of the pain he inflicted. Trying his best to clean his nose he pushed his tray of food away and sighed.

Georgio woke up with a start. He thought this whole nightmare was just that, a nightmare. When he realized that he was still in a cage he knew that this was real. Somehow and someway he would get out alive. Then the nicer if you can call her that lady, Abigail told everyone they had another task. Then she said she would promise if everyone did what they were told then they would get out. Georgio didn't believe he would get out soon enough. Then he so a new person who Abigail called...Miya? The lady was Pregnant?! Now this was getting out of control. The Serena bitch was going over board with bringing a pregnant woman in here. If anything Georgio would make sure that Miya would get out. His mother was in a situation not this bad but close when she had him. She had to fight her way out of a demented home; if it wasn't for Georgio's soon after step-dad he wouldn't probably be here (even though at this point of time not existing would be a good thing). He took the food from Julius. "Thanks...for yesterday, that stuff you gave me really helped calm my stomach down." Georgio took the food and sat back down in his cage, thinking of ways to get out of this shit place.

Keith woke to the sound of someone speaking, suddenly aware that he had fallen asleep at some point. His neck felt a bit stiff from sleeping in a sitting position, but he paid it no mind. So their third task was going to begin? What, he wondered, could be worse than what they had already done? Then he remembered: no matter how bad a situation gets, it can always get worse. It wasn't often that he thought like this, and he felt unsettled by his own negativity.

A new woman, who probably came in while the others slept, called out that she was pregnant. Keith looked at her, feeling a rush of pity. It would be difficult enough for someone to get through these tasks without having to care for an unborn child at the same time. Would she be capable of getting through this place alone? Either way, he would certainly help her if he could.

Keith accepted his food, but he only picked at it this time. Not only did it seem to him like he had just eaten; it also felt like there was a solid ball of something in his stomach. Anxiety, perhaps? In an attempt to evade his fear, he forced himself to finish the meal and smiled sympathetically at the pregnant woman called Miya, deciding to start a conversation with her. "Excuse me, Miya. Do you know if your child is a boy or girl?"

When she heard someone calling her name, also asking about the gender of her unborn child. After eating what food was given to her, she took a glass of water to wash it all down. Entering the Manor alone was a mistake, but her husband was at work. Guess she made a good call leaving him a note with the Mansion's address on it. When Miya thought about it, would he come looking for her? Hopefully. If not, she'd slap him with a divorce. Surely, no husband would ignore his pregnant wife. Their marriage was overall healthy, he's been very patient when it came to her moodiness, he had no reason to turn his back on her now. Unless he went out drinking considering it was weekend, that's probably the only time he'd forget that he has a pregnant wife at home, waiting for him. She remembers every now again as to how she would have to carry him upstairs. Now she regrets complaining about it. She then turned to answer the young man's question...and added how far she was. That was a habit, even if she isn't asked how far she is. "Eight Months, its a boy." She finally answered.
 
Ryan stood up. As he had anticipated, he had gotten absolutely no sleep or rest that night. All he had done was sit there, staring at the wall in front of him. dark rings had formed around his eyes as he slowly stepped out of his cell. His footsteps were heavy, but he didnt feel all that tired. He just wanted to leave. To go home. Maybe he didnt have what it takes to get through this. He walked up to Abigale and stared at her for a short while, before opening his his mouth.

"What will you force us to do now?" He asked slowly. His voice sounded broken, as if he had been without water for weeks. "Are we nearly finished? Or will it be your sadistic pleasure to watch each and every one of us slowly die? Are you hoping that we'll all die differently? Would that give you a buzz?" He said his last sentence in a sarcastic whisper, then stood there and continued to stare, waiting for an answer. He was done with these petty games. He felt like nothing was being achieved by them, and he wanted to start trying to make his way out.
 
Abigale looked to the man with a quizzical expression, her eyebrows raised in defense. "You must be mistaken, Ryan.. I believe that is Serena who would like to see you suffer. I, on the other hand, would like to see you all be set free." She looked to Julius, shrugging as she pulled out a small paper in her hands. "I will be calling names. You all will be directed to a room one by one. There, you will all be put to test with your worst fear. Sincerely, Serena." Abigale looked to the ground, horrified that Serena would think that let alone write something so evil.


Julius realized that his name was to be first. He nodded to Abigale, looking to the rest. "Jarrett will have the key. No matter how much I plead, don't come in." Abigale frowned, her eyes sad and heavy. She looked to the others, nodding. "Serena has picked Julius to stay the longest in the room. Four hours. Good news for you all.. Bad news for him." She opened the door, hugging him tightly before looking to Jarrett. The door was locked behind him, signaling that his time had already started. Abigale handed the key to Jarrett, walking to the door. "Wait for your turn, everyone."

Ryan stared at her while she spoke about her innocence, knowing that he shouldnt really trust anyone here. Not Serena. Not Julius. Not Abigale. And likely no one else in this room. Once she had finished reading the letter concerning the new challenge, Ryan's eye's grew wide with fear, thinking about every possible thing that rivaled to be his greatest fear.

"N-No... you cant do that!" Ryan stood frozen on the spot, staring at Abigale with a stare that was halfway between accusing and a plea for help. Then the emotion left his eyes and his body went back to it's original tired stance. He turned around and walked back to his cell. "Fine. I'll wait in here until it's my turn. And I dont see how sitting here for an extra four hours while we think of what is to come would be called 'good news'..." He sat back down on his bed and resumed staring at the wall. Only this time, his mind was all over the place, thinking about anything and everything that could happen in that room.
 
Everyone's movements seemed to be puzzling to Eli. 'It seems that my medications have began to kick in, I haven't took my other pill... honestly I don't see a reason to take that damned thing. I'm not crazy that physiotherapist can kiss my ass if you ask me he's the mentally ill one.' Sucking his teeth he noticed a new face around, maybe later than others but hey blame it on the medicines. Trying his best to clear his glassy sight He slowly approached her, Eli almost fell back looking at her protruding belly.'Are you serious!?. Great toss a innocent into it why don't you! . Serena you know no boundaries.' He kind of liked the ruthless, crazy, drop dead gorgeous Serena. Now standing right near the woman he smiled and tried his best to hide the fact that he was indeed high off of his medications. "Uh, hello I'm Eli....I noticed that you were new not to mention your also with child. Hmm I hope I'm not coming off as a creep or something but you see I'm a doctor so I was simply interested in your state."
 
Sazael stepped out of the cell to get a look at the Miya, the 8 months pregnant woman. When she saw her, her initial thought was about how beautiful the woman was and how big her belly had gotten. It amazed her that she was carrying another human being inside her. She turned away when Abigale began speaking about the next task. Worst fear? No, she didn't want that. She didn't want to face them. Not the fear she had been trying so hard to avoid. She backed up, already knowing what she was going to face. Her face, which usually held no emotion, was now filled in fear.
 
After seeing Julius enter the room with that door closing behind him, Miya was a bit mortified. How long she was going to last in there, she didn't even know. Her worst fear? Well, considering that she's expecting, that list kinda grew. Losing her baby was obviously at the top, because no one wants to lose their child for one, and two she hasn't even gotten to hold him yet. Other fears, well, she has been having a lot of nightmares, which is not normal; she was afraid scalpels, knives, anything that's pointy or sharp. Scissors were there too, after watching that one French Horror Film when she was six months along...She trembled at that thought. She was probably going to go insane, but she had to stay strong for the sake of the baby. Ghosts, Demons and the like were always creepy, but they didn't scare her. All these thoughts made Miya want to cry. Who would be so evil and stoop so low to where they would treat a pregnant woman so horribly, as to torture her mentally and emotionally? She then noticed that a girl with blue hair looking at her, in particular, her stomach, which of course, she was holding, mostly out of protectiveness over her child and otherwise out of motherly instinct. Then again, pregnancy will make you stick out like a sore thumb. She'd be a lot bigger if she was having twins, that's for sure. Seeing that look of fear on the girl's face, Miya could tell that she was pretty scared. Then again, she herself was too, so she could relate. As she looked around her, she saw a young male, looking about nineteen to twenty-three years of age. When he introduced himself as a doctor, Miya responded with a distrusting look. He was too young for one, and two she wouldn't entrust him with her life or the life of her unborn child, even if her life depended on it. For all she knew, she could end up like that one chick in the horror film she watched two months ago if she began trusting him. As for the woman dressed in black, Abigale, those nails scared her quite a bit.
