"W-whose b-blood was on that knife?" I asked, my eyes closed, tears streaming out, tying some fabric I cut from my shirt around the cut, the collar only a few feet from Shadow.
Willow cautiously stepped through the barrier, through the dead spot that Marie had found, before helping her companion through. "I'd get your dagger out," Willow suggested the pair walked towards the castle. "Somehow I doubt whatever tossed lives here is friendly."
The pair of girls crept inside. Marie had her dagger out just in case, through Willow didn't have a weapon on her. Both were very curious about the castle, and eager to explore, but Willow was more cautious and lingered behind slightly as they looked around.
"J-just stop p-please..." I cried, my blood dripping on the ground as I was backed into a corner. "I-if you don't stop, I'll bleed to death..." I wept, staring into his eyes.
As they went up stairs, reaching higher floors of the castle, Marie thought she heard muffled voices. She ran off ahead to find out what was going on, forcing Willow to run after her so they don't split up.
Shadow giggled, knife still in hand, but not attacking.
The two attempted to escape the tightening chains which dropped down from the ceiling, pulling them up. "W-what the ****!?" Jason yelled, kicking the chain, attempting to fly against the pulling chain.
That's a yell. Something's definitely going on! Marie thought. She stopped just outside of the door of the room the voices seemed to be coming from, with Willow catching up just after.
Oh my God, is that Angel? Why is she hurt?! Marie tried to open the door an inch further so she could see the full room. Instead she accidentally knocked it, so that it opened fully. Willow grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the was of the door so she wasn't in the line of sight of anyone inside, though the damage was already done. They'd know someone else was outside the door.
