Come out and play, Syana. [Warning: Graphic]

[Valentinez, Alkalinella Xifax]

Syana begin to cast another spell and a pentagram appear below me. I jump out-of-the-way and now I suppose I should do something about her casting magic. “Damn, a hair cut Reika?” I asked in amusement. She's cutting her hair while cutting her skull and she was scolding me in throwing knives at her stomach. I focus magic into my finger and point at Syana. I make sure I'm in a good angle so I don't hit Reika. “We're gonna have to do something on her shitty magic.”

I fire a magic bullet like attack from my finger that once it make contact. The magic will send a massive migraine to Syana head. This will feel likes her brain is exploding out of her skull make it harder for her to keep casting spells. My fear and hate magic should still be in affect for a bit longer. “How about this, if you admit that Maddox is the reason you're in this mess, which is true. I might just let up a little.”

I move directly behind Syana and throw another knife into her back. “Heck, if you want me to, I could release ropes, for pleasure~” Though, I doubt she will say yes and if she does, I'll just tell her that I lied. There's no way that I release her right now for something that I can do to her while she's in that state.

[Rii <3]

"My, my." The girl who had called herself Gabriel spoke. "It looks like the flower's withered away."
Syana was no flower. 
"I only wish it could have bloomed longer. It would have been so fun to destroy..." The girl gave a god-awful chuckle. "Mind magic. Good."

Her green eyes lifted towards the two with sheer confusion and integrity just to realise the white-haired girl had gone missing.
"My turn~" Looking side to side with the little strength her eyes had, the girl appeared in front of her and grabbed her hair in a large clump.
Pain thrived as she dragged her face up, their eyes met and Syana caught onto the pure hatred this girl possessed just from her eyes alone. Its deranged gaze sent a violent tremble down the girls spin.


The sight of the knife was more than enough for Syana. She knew that she was in for more violent torture. With the sound of blood dripping from her already open wounds. The shine was mesmerising and Syana breathed a slow sigh.
"Believe me, darling. You don't deserve this."  The girl spoke with a chuckle and Syana's eyes closed once more.
She could feel her magic disappearing slowly, almost vanishing. She knew that it wouldn't be there any longer. The sensation of something sharp touched her head and she instantly clenched her teeth together and made a struggled gasp. 
Forcing herself to stay quiet, her mind continued to battle itself like she wasn't even feeling pain.
The cold blade ran across her scalp, she could feel it tracing her skull line and she found herself writhing slightly in the sensation like moving would chase the pain.

Syana could feel her hair tear away from her head as the girl slice through her skin like butter. 
"Done!" The white-haired girl spoke up and Syana could feel her gaze over her back. "How beautiful~ don't you think so, Zenos?" 

It seemed like it was the man's turn to speak now. The man who seemed to be called Zenos.
"Damn, a hair cut Reika?” The man asked. So the girl who called herself Gabriel was actually called Reika? There was an amused tone in the girls voice.
"We're gonna have to do something on her shitty magic.” All she could see was darkness, her breathing shallow.
Suddenly the sensation in her brain turned excruciating and she found herself gasping, a soft spoken cry of pain so quiet it was almost inaudible escaped her lips as she gasped. She took slow, deep breaths to chase it away but it seemed to stay in her mind. It wasn't as painful as her usual, but she knew it wasn't her usual and that was what made it harder to handle.

"How about this, if you admit that Maddox is the reason you're in this mess, which is true. I might just let up a little.” Syana kept her eyes closed tight, her heart racing in her chest and her blood pumping in her ears. She felt nauseated to bits now like if she were to part her lips, she'd throw up everything she possessed.
Footsteps surrounded her and the man was behind. She flicked her fingers in his direction despite both being tied up to her feet, her body turning purple and white where the blood had either left it or was trapped due to the ropes.
A pain burst through her back to as the sensation of a knife entered her muscle tissue and she jerked and convulsed against it, crying out in desperation with yet another silent gasp.
"Heck, if you want me to, I could release ropes, for pleasure~” The man spoke.
"He's lying." The soft voice in her head objected. 
"It IS his fault though. Why is he not here yet?"
"Why? Because I was stupid... It seems I am a burden towards them all..." Syana felt tears form in her eyes, she dared not open them in case they were blood. "I shouldn't have taken the alleyway. I should train more and not cause issues for anyone, Kasumi, Syo... Maddox." Her mind began to scold itself and she found herself taking a slow, deep breath. The tears seemed to hit the floor before stopping.
"It's time I took things into my own hands. He's not coming." 
"Syana, don't let the fear and doubt get to you..." The soft voice objected once more. "It's okay..."  Darkness was devouring her. She found herself slowly heading towards it, but part of her clung to the light.

[Valentinez, Alkalinella Xifax]

I watch Syana rock back, and forth upside down with a knife firmly placed into her back. The ropes are creaking while Syana sways; blood is leaking from the knife and from her head. The blood is slowly dripping onto the floor and making a small puddle, but she's not going to bleed to death. Right now, the knife in her back is acting like a cork, preventing blood to rush out. We might have to do something about that if we want the fun to keep going.

I make my way to where Reika brought the tools and I grab a few things. “Where we come from, human slavery is a common thing. Some slave owners have a hard time in keeping up with all their slaves and sometimes they try to escape. They often don't get very far and often get caught. They simply get brought back to their owner and get punish.” I grabbed a torch and a metal cow marker. I light up the marker until the metal is glowing red.

“You might be wondering: how do we tell which slave belong to who? The answer is that we mark their bodies.” I pull out the knife from Syana back, and then I would press in the cow marker into her back. If no resistant or anything to stop me, it will stop Syana from bleeding too harshly while dealing massive pain. As the marker press into her back, it will create a sizzling sound. I follow up with two more fear and hate magic into Syana. “My offer still stand, little girl. Maddox is the reason for all this happening to you and he's just like us. We're all from the same guild, so I know he's not coming for you. All you have to do is take my offer and this will stop. If not, we will keep going until we're bored, and we might even take things even further. Like, burning Fairy tail down, or even set the whole city a blaze!”

"Where we come from, human slavery is a common thing. Some slave owners have a hard time in keeping up with all their slaves and sometimes they try to escape. They often don't get very far and often get caught. They simply get brought back to their owner and get punish.” It seemed like the white haired girl had decided to stay out of it.
Syana's eyes whirled in circular motions, she was going to hurl if the had anything left in her stomach. All that would really come out was air and blood and not even that.
Syana's green eyes dashed side to side, glazed over from the pain her whole body had. 

The man grabbed a metal tool and Syana could see out of the corner of her eye the similarity it possessed to that of a branding iron used to mark cows. 
"You might be wondering: how do we tell which slave belong to who? The answer is that we mark their bodies.” Syana just squirmed a little, her body tense and convulsing due to the muscle spasms from the damage in her body. She found herself breathing heavily, her lips parted as she gasped for air. 
The iron dug into her body and marked it with a blistering, red marking. Syana shown no sign of pain on her face as the searing pain bore down on her body. She took a slow, deep breath and let a sweat drop fall down her face as the guy called Zeno sent more balls against her body. She found herself facing the fear of what was to come next; the area around her quivering like heat. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, saying nothing. 
"My offer still stand, little girl. Maddox is the reason for all this happening to you and he's just like us. We're all from the same guild, so I know he's not coming for you. All you have to do is take my offer and this will stop. If not, we will keep going until we're bored, and we might even take things even further. Like, burning Fairy tail down, or even set the whole city a blaze!” Syana's eyes closed slowly.

It was then that Syana's lips formed a smile. She let her eyes close before opening them up to reveal an emotionless gaze.
"You're foolish in every way," The voice that escaped her lips was cocky. "It's amusing to see you torture someone so helpless just because you yourself are weak. Why not stop with your cowardly ways. You're just jealous that someone you knew got further in life than you because he's actually worth it." With that said, Syana closed her eyes again and opened them to view the same expression as before; her gaze lifting up towards everyone before looking towards the bloodstained ground once more.
Maddox would be here soon, right? RIGHT? 

That was all she could remember passing through her mind. With her thoughts once again battling it out and her body beginning to grow cold. Syana found herself fading in and out of a state of confusion. Soon the world began to tremble and she found herself gazing at darkness as it enveloped her body. Her heart began to slow down and the sound of her breathing grew shallow. Syana's mind was the last thing she could hear as she passed out. 

[Reika Ai]

A silvery light shown down on Syana’s innocent face. It fell through the slats of wood in the ceiling and illuminated the area, casting curious shadows all over the dilapidated building. Reika stood halfway in one of these rays of light, the beam lighting up the motionless grin on her face and the craziness in one eye. The rest of her face remained bathed in shadows, while only half of her dress was illuminated by the light. She stood there like a statue, unmoving and unresponsive as her blonde-haired ally had his turn with their captive again. A brand. Reika had materialized it so that Syana would not die of blood loss. Cauterizing the wound was an excellent way to prevent her from bleeding to death while also causing her more pain. The white-haired sadist was glad that Zenos had put it to good use. He pressed the hot metal to her skin, leaving a burnt imprint of the Phantom Cloak guild symbol on the girl’s flawless, white skin. Reika liked it there, her powerful guild symbol now probably permanently engraved in the girl’s skin, if it scarred over. It felt right. Reika desired more. She strolled forward, her movements now mechanical with minimum movement. The guild master could tell that the girl was at her limit. With one hand bent carefree behind her back, she bent down so that she was eye-level with her captive. Her free hand reached up and gently caressed the girl’s chin, tilting her head up so that she could see the fear in the woman’s eyes. Instead, it seemed that the woman had something to say. “Ah-ah-ah~” Reika clicked, materializing a needle and thread in her hand. “You don’t want to speak anymore.” She outstretched her hand from behind her back and firmly grabbed the girl’s jaw, dragging it suddenly to the side until she heard a prompt crack. She proceeded to sow the girl’s mouth shut, all the while laughing hysterically. “Say cheese~” Reika stepped back and took another picture.

[Maddox Aquila]

There wasn't a word in he English language that could describe the degree of anger, of pure, unadulterated hatred that had engulfed Maddox so deeply that he practically radiated an aura of murderous intent. He was a bad man himself, having done a good many immoral things, but he had never delighted in it, never taken any joy from the things that he had done or been told to do - but once he found the people that had taken Syana from him he was going to enjoy himself and by the gods were people going to suffer for their foolish mistakes.

Though he had set out to find Syana with Kasumi, he was unusually quiet, even for a man such as himself. He scarcely spoke and when he did it was only to proclaim something important, something out of necessity. As more time passed his bad mood became worse because he knew that his chances of finding her alive were slimming down to nothing. He couldn't remember the last time that he had eaten but he couldn't feel hunger, his stomach had knotted in a strange combination of fear and rage that was an entirely new sensation to him.

His green eyes were half lidded as he stepped into the warehouse district, or more precisely the more dilapidated section of the warehouse district that had long been abandoned by most people. The perfect place to drag a hostage, he supposed, if you could get them through the city quietly.

Having abandoned his usual garb, Maddox wore all black, the only splash of color was his one eye, which was clouded with hatred. Calling him death personified wouldn't have been too far a stretch, particularly as he drew his daggers from the small of his back, the honed blades catching the light and glinting for an instant as he lowered them to his sides.

They were close, he knew that much, and his shoulders tensed in anticipation. He had to remind himself that his priority was to get Syana out of there, not to just spring in and kill anyone and everyone that had a hand in kidnapping her - that part could come later.

Or right away, if she was dead.

Gritting his teeth at the thought, he looked around for Kasumi before giving a jerk of his shoulder that indicated towards a particular building where he was sure that they were hiding out - he could see a piece of Syana's dress had hooked on the frame, ripping a small fragment off to be left behind. For once he was glad she wore such haughty clothes. There weren't many people in Fiore that wore such things and they definitely wouldn't be caught dead down here.

Clenching his fists around the daggers, he contemplated finding another way in, a sneak attack that didn't involve barging in the front door, something that was more his style - but before his mind could process anything he surged forwards, not even bothering to try to shift his daggers around as he gave a running kick that took the old door right off of its hinges and sent it clattering violently to the ground.

 He threw caution to the wind as he darted into the warehouse, searching frantically for Syana.

 And then finding her.

 And then seeing them. Phantom Cloak trash. Of course. 

 The aura of malicious intent nearly became toxic as he strode slowly towards them - the calm before the storm, if the dead look in his eye was any indication.

 "I will only tell you once. Step away from Syana." His deep voice was cold, left no room for argument. "Give in to me and I may just find it in myself to kill you quickly." That part was a damn lie, and he knew it. With the state that Syana was in... his little bird all broken in their hands... There wasn't any mercy to be spared for the likes of them.

[Jimmydalad]

Kasumi's concern for Syana was reaching a peaking point. The only things she could hear were her feet smashing against the ground as she followed after Maddox. Syana had been missing for a long time. Enough to make Kasumi feel uncomfortable. Having recently taken on the Guildmaster title, she knew that she had to keep herself safe. She had taken on measures to make sure she was ok such as blending into crowds and staying hidden with the techniques she had learned while she was on the run from Phantom Cloak.

She should've told Syana to do the same thing. When she came to Maddox to see if she was with him, pictures arrived for him which depicted her friend being tortured. Maddox had set off and Kasumi took a closer look at the photos. Looking at one of the photos, she noticed the mark of Phantom Cloak and she knew she had to act.

She didn't know what to say to Maddox, so she elected to keep quiet. Silently following after him, there was something about him that was different to her previous encounters. He was terrifying and probably was ready to kill. She had found out that the two were together now, so she couldn't imagine the feelings that her friend was feeling at the moment. At the same time though, she could feel the anger inside her starting to flow over. She wasn't going to let Phantom Cloak take another friend from her.

Following him into the warehouse, she wanted to tell him to be careful, but it was probably far too late for that now. Staying close to him, she took out her chakrams, charging them with wind magic. Kasumi was very aware of the possibility of this being an ambush, so she readied herself for what she assumed to be an almost inevitable attack.

Hearing Maddox speak, she moved quickly behind him to see two people standing over the body of Syana. She looked like such as a mess and an audible gasp escaped her lips. Seeing it in person was very different to seeing the pictures, consider she could smell the stench of blood. Her eyes narrowed in anger, fury slowly starting to take over her.

She held herself back though. She didn't know how strong these mages were and she knew that Maddox was a much better fighter than she was. From the sounds and looks of it, Maddox was ready to rip up a storm. Her eyes moved between Maddox and Syana, waiting in anticipation for what was going to come.

[Valentinez, Alkalinella Xifax]

Syana is no longer hanging upside down or not even restrained. This week has been nothing but tortures for Syana. Both physical and mental torture for her. While she's awake, I've filled her head with hate and fear magic. I've even ripped each finger nail from her hands and toes off one by one in the most rough possible way. Some nails still there, but just pieces that are rough and jagged.

Her jaw dislocated and her mouth is sewn together by Reika. We've imprinted our logo into her body, and we've been throwing knives into her body. Though we began using smaller knives to she won't bleed to death. She has whipped marks on her back, and we have even broken one of her arms. That's just the tip of the iceberg and authorized to mention!

When she sleeps is just as hard for her, while she's sleeping, I've put my magic into her head and torture her there. I doubt that she even knows what real and what is fake now. If she did not know what I mean by breeding, and pleasure before, then she does now! In her dreams, I've done every worst possible thing I can do to her on the opposite sex.

Syana is laying naked on the floor, and might be numb completely. We've given her nothing and taken everything. Spiders and bugs are crawling over her body and I think of what to do next to her. We've toyed with her for so long that I'm running out of ideas. I have absolutely no idea what she's thinking or how she feels, there's always been slight response besides that outburst.

You might think that we get bored with her with her low response, but we don't get bored that easily. I suddenly feel a strong killing intent that breaks my trace of thought. The door to the warehouse bursts open and I see the guest we've all waited for! He's also with some girl beside him and I've never seen her before. I grab a knife and put it close to her throat to show I don't want any sudden movements.“Oh hey, he actually showed up! It's been years since we've last seen each other and you've gotten quite strong since. You know Max, everyone at home misses you. We haven't heard or seen you in what, three years now?”

Everything that I say, I use a mocking tone. “I see that you even picked up a new bitch once we took Syana. You move really fast on bitches, huh?” I laugh at him. “Don't worry about Syana man, we've taken very good care of her. I've even decided to take her home with me. Maybe clean her back up and use her for my personal pleasure toy, not that I've hadn't already. How ya been, Max?”

[Reika Ai]

"My, my, my~" Reika practically sang. "It took you long enough. I was beginning to think we'd have to sell our little bird off." Reika rose from her makeshift throne, something that she mad materialized on a whim a few days ago. The chair could have been something magnificent, made out of hundreds of white metal flowers so that it bloomed into a seat. Instead, it sat dull and stained behind her, splattered with old blood and the tears of the misfortunate. Syana laid at her feet, with Zenos close by. Reika held up one hand when Zenos had finished speaking. "Let's save the small talk." She slowly lowered her hand. "I trust you know why we lured you out here, don't you darling?" A sickening giggle bubbled from her throat, but Reika did not try to stop herself from laughing. "You should have come to us sooner. We might had treated our little bird with more... compassion." she stepped over Syana's body so that she was directly in front of the two intruders. "It's true that you left without taking your beating, but..." Reika cast a glance towards their captive, and then turned back to the two in front of her. "It seems that your little bird was not so innocent as she seems. I made a deal with someone. Someone with a certain... discoloration of his eyes. " Reika glanced back at Zenos. "Wake her up. She needs to hear this."

" "

[Rii <3]

 

Syana's body had pulled her into a sense of comfort as it began to have an emergency shut down. (That and her magic was beginning to fight off the wounds and protect her from the pain even in her comatose.) It felt like a short period of time and Syana found herself staring down at the darkness of the world, floating endlessly in an eternal abyss. Her body stark naked and her eyes gazed upward.
Was she able to speak? No. She just focused on the light ahead, unable to feel or hear her own heartbeat. 
Her left eye was a shade of crimson whereas her right was a golden tone. The conflict between the hatred and fear with general knowledge seemed to be battling it off and the fight seemed to go on for ages. Syana parted her lips to say something in her defence, but it was like her lips had forbade her that action as they did not move.

Her magic needed to do its thing, but how could she use it when she was trapped in this never ending sleep? She tried to utter a word, but got denied it without  any hesitation. Not a single sound escaped her lips.
Finally her body began to quiver and she felt the cold sensation over her body, this sensation stirred around for quite some time before the sound of a clatter had disturbed even her comatose state. Her body began to envelope itself in warmth and she could finally hear her heart beating as the sensation of pain nullified itself.
Voices seemed to fill through the air around her, like she could hear what was being said. 
"My little one," A voice echoed through her mind. "It's okay now, let me help you." A feather floated down towards her and she found herself finding her strength to move up and grab it. The second her fingers touched it, the area around her glowed and Syana found herself slowly opening her eyes.

The area was unfamiliar. Her eyes were blurry and she found herself gazing around; her arms still tied behind her back to her legs but it seemed like the ropes were frayed and she could squirm around just a little bit to the point the ropes began to feel loose. Were they breaking?
She was moving so lightly, but her eyes moved to the side and she could see something that made her heart leap in her chest. Her green eyes filled with tears, but she dared not say a word. There he was and he was not alone.
Unable to escape herself fully from the ropes, her wrists began to burn from its friction - that was until they seemed to snap and her arms were free which also meant her legs could move too.
There was a cold sensation against her throat and she looked towards the right side; there was the man who was hurting her from before. A small flicker of anger bubbled in her stomach.

It seemed to be a stare off between the four and Syana knew she was the cause of it. Slowly she pressed her hands to the cold floor despite them getting covered in dirt and blood. She was completely cold, but she knew she had nothing on. Slowly forcing herself up despite being very shaky, her body ached from the lack of movement for who knows how long. It seemed that she had little strength to move and felt emaciated, but she found herself slowly lifting off the ground. 

[Maddox Aquila]

Calm. Calm. Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm. His brain chanted the word over and over again but Maddox could barely keep himself contained as the two Phantom Jokes put themselves between him and a very broken Syana. He had only glimpsed her but had forced himself to look away, not because he was disgusted by the sight or anything of that nature - rather he was afraid he would completely lose himself to his thirst for blood. He wasn't sure that he would be able to determine friend from foe if that were to happen, and it wasn't a road he wanted to go down. If his years of training had taught him anything it was that a man quick to anger was quick to find himself in a losing position. Though he had already burst the door down in anger, he didn't have the desire to throw the fight away because of his emotions.

"You talk an awful lot for a dead man." He answered Zenos' rather lackluster insult with a not-so-thinly veiled promise of death. His knuckles turned milky white as his grasp on his daggers intensified with the man's suggestive words. A knot formed in his stomach, twisting and clenching as a somewhat bestial desire to rend flesh from the bones of his enemies overcame him.

Compassion, right. Like the ghostly looking psycho knew the meaning of the word. While they were yapping Syana's life was probably slipping through her fingers, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get her out of there without dealing with the two of them first. Casting a glance back at Kasumi, hoping she would take her own advice and get Syana out of there, should she see the opportunity, he quickly faced forwards once more, his green eye narrowed. If nothing else, he really didn't want Syana to see this side of him - he was sure she had suffered enough already. Probably hated him enough already, and she had every right to. No sooner had they gotten in a relationship than his past had come back to haunt him by taking advantage of his most obvious weakness.

Well, that was irrelevant right now. She was in need of him, and come life or limb he'd make whatever sacrifice was necessary to save her.

While his gaze was fixated on the two, debating fading into the shadows and attempting to put himself closer to his girlfriend, he spied movement behind the two and watched the girl in question struggle to move, seeming to be trying to get to her feet. His heart simultaneously broke and felt revived by her sudden movements after having been so lifeless moments ago.

A cold wave of anger flooded over him, and he pointed a dagger towards Reika and Zenos. "I have no desire to hear whatever you have to say. If you have a problem with me leave her out of it. I assure you I will be much more 'entertaining' for you to play with." Gods help them if they dared to lay a hand on her in front of him. The shadowy warehouse provided a nice little playground for him and he'd be damned if he didn't take full advantage of that while he bled them dry.

[Jimmydalad]

Her chakrams continued to emit wind energy as Kasumi stayed silent. Kasumi was surprised that Maddox was a former member of Phantom Cloak. She had formed the picture in her mind that all of Phantom Cloak were disgusting, law-breaking bastards who had no regard for anyone's well-being apart from themselves. While Maddox didn't seem to fit that stereotype, it looked as if the other two were making up for it in strides.

It would be a lie to say that she was able to fully keep up with the conversation. She shot an icy glare at the man though, not appreciating being called Maddox's bitch. Her glare only grew more sharp as he continued about Syana being her pleasure toy. His attitude alongside his words were making it hard for her not to try and slash off his head. She held back however, recognizing that the two of them had to be pretty strong to wreck Syana like they did.

She couldn't show weakness, knowing that doing so would invite an attack. She stayed silent and let Maddox do the talking. Trying to use her authority would be akin to loudly declaring that she wanted to be kidnapped. Her anonymity was her advantage and if the other two found out about her status, there was no telling how badly things would go.

Relief washed through her as she noticed that Syana was waking up. Knowing she wasn't dead was a good start. Her lips were stitched together however, so any words she tried to say would not be allowed to come out. Kasumi wanted to run over to her, but she held back. This really was Maddox's issues and she was there to act as support for him. Therefore, she stayed motionless, silently surveying the area around her.

[Valentinez, Alkalinella Xifax]

The old warehouse on it own is filthy. There are spiders, rats, beetles, and roaches scatter throughout the building. The warehouse looks more like a dungeon. There're rope, chains, and blood splatter that came from Syana. If you look at the sad girl, you can see some of the insects are still crawling over Syana. She smells like sweet, urine, and blood. With her body tatter, she's a bit disgusting to me.

“Reika, I think Max is mad,”I said in a mocking voice. He has no idea how much I'm enjoying his reaction. I can feel the heat of his anger from even where I'm at. One wrong move and he might actually kill me. I wonder how far I can push him before he completely snaps and becomes blinded in rage? So blinded, that he might even hurt Syana. Oh, how much I would like that to happen, but what if Syana tries to hurt him?

I grab Syana by her neck as she tries to get up. On her back, I fill her with a massive amount of hate magic, but I keep it out of view from Kasumi and Maddox. I whisper into Syana ear, “The mad that has caused all your pain and torture is here. You've nothing wrong, after all, it's Maddox's fault.” I begin laughing to myself and face Maddox. I have a huge smirk over my face. He suggests that I leave Syana out of this, and he be more entertaining. “I'm sorry, but I'm not into dudes. I didn't know you swing that way!” I look at Reika. “I bet while we were having our fun, he's been screwing the girl next to him and a bunch of guys.” I laugh at my joke and give Reika a small wink.

I let go of Syan and allow her to walk towards Maddox filled with hate magic over the week, and the final push of magic that I just placed into her. I grab Syan and throw her over my back. “Let have the girls have their cat fight while us men take care of business,” I said to Maddox as I run off to the back door and make my exit. So I enjoy my fun with Maddox without worry of distractions.

[Reika Ai]

The guild master stood in front of her throne, surveying the four in front of her. She saw Syana's pain, Zeno's amusement, Maddox's anger, and Kasumi's worry. Everyone was on high tension. Everyone was on guard. But in the midst all of this, Reika felt nothing. Nothing, not happiness, not sadness, not contentment. She was empty. She was like a glass not half full, a glass not full at all. "Yes, Syana, this little predicament was entirely Maddox's fault. But, dear sweet girl, do you know who sent me here? Who compelled me to come find you instead of finding Maddox himself?" She paused for a moment, knowing full well that the girl could not respond to her comments. "That's right! It was Syo! Your very own side boy turned against you! He would have done it himself, but I made a deal." Reika bent down and tilted Syana's chin, making her face towards herself. "Yes, a deal. I would torture you, and in exchange..." a laugh bubbled up in her throat. "In exchange, he would join Phantom Cloak! Isn't that wonderful! You-- you!! You drove that boy to madness!" Reika was hysterical for a moment, but she abruptly stopped. Zenos was doing something interesting. "Finally going to cut the poor bird's throat?" Reika watched as Zenos dragged her off. "It's about time. I don't know about you, but I was starting to get bored. We should have just sold her off. Oh well~ it was fun while it lasted." She waved goodbye, glancing back at Maddox as Zenos fled the scene. "Uh-oh! Better go chase him! You don't want your little flower to be pulverized into smithereens, do you?" Reika winked. Maddox could go after her, but Reika was not about to let the other girl do the same. With swift movement, Reika clapped her hands together, sending out a long chain that would wrap around Kasumi's leg. She grabbed the other end, pulling it taught. "Let's play."

Syana found herself staring at the floor in confusion as she tried to force herself to sit up; her arms shaky and her body aching. It was like the blood in her body was cold. She was trembling. Blood dripped from open wounds onto the floor around her.
Slowly sitting back on her knees, Syana found her head slowly turning towards the left and shifting her gaze between Kasumi and Maddox before the two beings standing in front of her. 

"Yes, Syana, this little predicament was entirely Maddox's fault. But, dear sweet girl, do you know who sent me here? Who compelled me to come find you instead of finding Maddox himself?" It seems that Reika had noticed Syana slowly forcing herself to sit up. Her words caused the girl some confusion. Her lips sealed by the unnecessary thread through her dislodged jaw. "That's right! It was Syo! Your very own side boy turned against you! He would have done it himself, but I made a deal." Syana's heart jumped in her chest at the mention of Syo's name. Her hands slowly and shakily made their way to her chest. Those words hit her heart and shook her. Her hands moved slowly up to her cheeks and eyes before tears began to stream down them in a silent cry. Reika had to be lying, right?
The image of the dagger he had thrown at her before flashed through her mind. "Syo..."
"He was a loose cannon anyway. Let him do his foolish antics, pathetic child." The voice from before sneered in anger in her mind, clearly being the hate magic taking control of the oblivious girls mind. "Both him and black-y over there."

"Yes, a deal. I would torture you, and in exchange... In exchange, he would join Phantom Cloak! Isn't that wonderful! You-- you!! You drove that boy to madness!" Syana's eyes met Reika's cold gaze and she watched her with tears down her face. The worst kind of torture. Syana's eyes closed and she let the rest of the tears fall in a muted cry before she felt a hand meet her neck. Lifting her hands to his fists; her fingers clutched weakly at them.
"The mad that has caused all your pain and torture is here. You've nothing wrong, after all, it's Maddox's fault.” He spoke to her and her gaze moved to Maddox, the light in her gaze disappearing to reveal a motionless expression while her mind clawed at itself, torn in two.
"I have no desire to hear whatever you have to say. If you have a problem with me leave her out of it. I assure you I will be much more 'entertaining' for you to play with." Maddox's voice echoed throughout the abandoned workshop and Syana's arm reached out towards him shakily before retreating back to her side as she clutched her hands into fists.

As the man let go of her neck, she found him pushing her towards her two closest people. Moving slowly towards them, her vision of the two seemed to change into a reddened gaze. That was before she was grabbed. “Let have the girls have their cat fight while us men take care of business,” Once again thrown over his shoulder, Syana let the world move as she was taken away. Not even struggling or reacting; her gaze focused towards the ground.
