The sharp drips of water droplets echoed throughout the cold dark cell. A smirk made its way onto the pale beaten and bloodied face of the violet haired man as he hung there chained with his now raw wrists over his head. "It took you long enough.." He chuckled. From the shadows moved a figure, a woman with black cat ears, black fur covering her exposed skin, a tail, nails sharp, and both eyes the color of bloody ambers. She chuckled, "I told you to wait for me did I not Vaati? Now look at you, at Roxanne's mercy beaten to pulp without your power. What were you planning to do? Hmm?" She purred as she placed a claw under Vaati's chin forcing him to look up into her red eyes. He only rolled his eyes and scoffed, "did you get the information nyx? Can we bail zaida out of here?" The woman, nyx, frowned, "I got the information, though rescuing zaida will be extremely difficult. Especially with your magic gone. We are going to have to-"

Before nyx could finish her sentence though the torturous screams of another woman could be heard. Vaati's eyes widened, as he recognized that voice. He quickly stood up, ignoring the pain of his injuries and tried to free himself from those wretched chains. "Damned woman! They have her! They have Seira! You promised me she would be safe and that they would never harm her-" nyx silenced him with a knee to the stomach causing him to fall and hang again by the wrists. Merciless as she was she forced him to look at her, "Seira would have been safe if little ol Vaati would have listened to me like I had asked him to and waited but no. Vaati had to prove to his principessa that he could be a hero for once and save her baby sister on his own and what did that get you? That got you caught, tortured, imprisoned and even impersonated and not just that but it also got your precious little mermaid caught too. I told you not to come here on your own I told you to stay and protect her that was our deal. You were supposed to tell me the location were zaida was and I was supposed to find her and bring her back but you decided to come looking for her Vaati this is Roxanne were talking about and if you had any sense you would have stayed watching your precious little mermaid." Vaati didn't know what was worse the claw marks that nyx was leaving behind on his jaw or the fact that she was right.

Seira was here being tortured.

And it was his fault.

"Change of plans.. We focus on getting out of here alive, zaida is a lost cause for now. We have what we wanted now we're leaving." This caught Vaati by surprise and he nodded. With one swift kick nyx broke the chains and both of them left the cell. Following the bloodcurdling screams that made Vaati's stomach churn. How many people had he tortured like that? Had he been a monster just as ruthless as Roxanne? Surely not! He was not as cruel and heartless. But again this was his loved one they were talking about not just any random hylian. And he didn't care about the hylians. This was his Seira. They stopped and hid in the shadows before they got to a small opened room and saw that indeed they had Seira chained up against a pole. But the chains looked to be made of a red gem.

Nyx cursed under her breath in her native language and Vaati looked at her confused. Of course, being of erebos' blood those chains wouldn't affect nyx but they would do a great deal of damage both mentally and physically to Seira. That gem was created to kill Dragomirs specifically. Nyx frowned understanding zaidas state. That's probably what they used on her, she must have a fragment of the gem in her.. She thought.

Before they could act though two more people entered the room, a woman with long black hair red eyes and pale skin and another woman with dark fuchsia hair pale skin with a green attire and red eyes.

"This is her?"

"Yes milady."

Vaati glared at the black haired woman, assuming her to be Roxanne, nyx barely being able to conceal themselves with her shadows and his efforts weren't helping at all.

The black haired woman grabbed Seira's hair and forced her head up, "look at me Celeste." Seira refused to open her eyes. She knew Roxanne would recognize her, and she knew Roxanne would kill her. Roxanne let go of Seira's hair and turned to the fuchsia haired woman, "I've heard rumors Celeste, of a supposed pregnancy?" She smirked and walked out but whispered in the woman's ear, "kill the child."

Nyx held Vaati back the best she could and thought that the best thing was to get him out of there. "What are you doing?! Let me back in there! I'm going to kill that bitch-"

"Seira signed up for this! Now keep quiet or you'll get both of us found!" Vaati however was too enraged to listen and ignored nyx. Nyx glared and with one swift kick sent him crashing against the wall. Vaati groaned and glared at her spitting out a mouthful of blood, " you're just going to let her get beat, let them think she's Celeste?"

"It's what she wanted, and it's better for us in the long run, that way Roxanne expects the child to be dead and the child is safe alive somewhere away from Roxanne. Seira's sacrifice won't be in vain." Vaati scoffed, "you're acting like they're going to kill her..."

"If you don't start following my orders they will. Your in their territory home boy. Might wanna follow a guide if you're gonna be a tourist, might get lost don't ya think?"

Vaati stood up and glared, "that woman, that was with her, who was she?"

At this nyx smiled and began walking towards the now empty room (save for Seira of course). "Rowena, prime demoness, and top general of roxanne's armies. I've been dying to have a decent fight with her for ages now. If I die in battle I want it to be with her. She's served erebos since the beginning of time. Now go rescue your girl while I make a distraction and find us a way out."

Seira's pov****

I winced biting my lip as I tried my best to endure the pain I felt in my lower abdomen. My only consolation was that it was me and not Celeste. She would have lost her babies, I had nothing to loose. At least those stupid chains were taken off of me, at least I was given a moment to breathe.

I heard fast paced footsteps and my only thought was no more. I wanted to go home. But I also wanted to kill Roxanne and rid her off the face of the earth. I didn't want her to torment my little sisters anymore. To say the least I was fucking tired of her. The person stopped in front of me for some moments and then seemed to give out an aggravated groan.

"What did they do to you.."

I bit my lip, I knew that voice. And Out of all the people I wasn't expect him to rescue me. I felt him get closer to me and carefully lift my chin up to look at him, "Seira look at me.." I glared at him and moved my head away, "don't touch me, I want nothing to do with you." He looked at me shocked, hurt clear in his eyes. "Seira don't be ridicu-"

"You said it yourself didn't you! This isn't a fairy tail where the princess turns the villain into her valiant hero! Why are you here now! Didn't I bore you? Wasn't I too much of a pain and a nuisance for you?" With every word a tear threatened to leave and the pain I felt because of my wounds was not helping at all. Vaati stared, hurt evident in his eyes but other than that rage. "I said that? I told you all that!" I glared and refused to meet him in the eyes. It hurt to much. I preferred Roxanne's torture than this. Vaati glared and forced me to look at him, " fine if you say I told you that then believe it. This is no fairy tale and I'm not here as your valiant hero. I don't know what else I may have told you Seira but I do know this. I love you and I don't give two shits if you think otherwise. I'm here as a villain and you my dear are the fair princess I'm going to kidnap because I'm not letting any twisted bitch nor bastard keep what's mine do you understand? This isn't a rescue so don't confuse it for one my dear I'm kidnaping you so go on and call for help." With that he released my hands from the cuffs above me causing me to fall straight into his arms and in one swift movement he picked me up off the ground and quickly left the room I was held in.

Vaati's pov****

I continued walking the way back with Seira's weak body in my arms. Who ever is pretending to be me, who ever hurt her with my image and my words, I will kill them mercilessly. I saw nyx waiting for me at the end of the dungeon corridor and quickly met up with her.

"No complications?"

"A few arguments here and there, but other than that no."

She nodded smirking, "good, it's late at night so there are few guards. We should be able to leave unnoticed. If we could find a way out." I glared, "that was your job! You said  you would look for a way out while I freed Seira! You're useless!"

Nyx hissed, a scowl covering her face," stop yelling you'll alert everyone. It's a bit impossible to find a way out when the dungeons have a habit of changing every Time Roxanne comes to visit don't you think? It's a living maze  in here."

I was about to say something when someone else cut me off.

"Then perhaps I could help no?"

Nyx growled and pushed herself between the man in front of me and I. "Now nyx no need for that. Don't you miss your dear uncle?" The man smirked and then sighed seeing as nyx wouldn't budge. Nyx finally relaxed and nodded, "lead the way arithen."

I glared, "nyx you can't be serious! We can't trust this man!"

Arithen laughed and began leading us through and nyx shortly followed forcing me to follow behind with a sleeping Seira still in my arms. "Believe me arithen is one of my full trust and whether you like it or not he's helping bailing us out." I growled and continued walking with them. After a long time of hiding and arithen deceiving guards and sending them away we were finally out of the dark dungeons.

"You have something Roxanne wants. Keep it hidden and keep it safe. Also there is a traitor within your group. Find them and kill them. I wish you the best of luck."

Nyx and I nodded, I still didn't trust the man but if she trusted him then he must have done something to have earned her trust. Nyx went up to hug arithen and smirked , "see you in hell uncle." To which he only replied with a smirk, "bet you I can beat you there first."  

Nyx turned to me and smirked, "how well do you like being pushed into portals?"

I glared,"don't you fucking dare"

She did.
