"Alright, alright, that's enough threatening the captive." Jay grinned in the doorway. "He still has some use. After that, you can threaten him all you want."

Mallick looked between his three captors, wondering whom he should fear the most; the tough, spellcasting female, the brawny, serious male, or the Princess, wo seemed to have underlying intentions.

"Aw, but it's fun!", Maybell joked, grinning.

"Only that the person who hired me was a woman, with raven-black hair, and that she wore gloves and a scarlet cloak that covered everything but her gloved hands. She had a soft voice. She was an unusually callous person, though.", Mallick stammered, wincing as Jay tied the rope much too tightly. 

((Don't kill Mallick off, I have a plan for him. XD )) 

((Hey, can we revive the other roleplay we were doing, with Jay, Jake, Rosalie, Zane, Rukiea, and any others I may not have mentioned? We can start right after Jake pulled himself out of the river, and his wrist was hurt. That's the last point I remember, other than something about Rosalie getting shot in the leg, and Zane falling in love with Rukiea, who in turn fell for him... They hadn't gotten to telling Jay yet...  orange font is what I remembered past Jake getting hurt.))

"Where's she going?!", Maybell asked, confused and worried.

((I wana do that one again... It sounds fun))

Rukiea's eyes flashed gold. "Stupid.. They are too fast..." She looked down. "But that shape.. I know that figure.."

Ooc: Of course we can do that!

Bic: "I'm not sure." Jay aked, mildly concerned. "Stay here, I'll go see what is going on." He said as he followed her out the door. "Rukiea!" He called, running down the stairs.

((Hey! I replied to the other forum and started right where we left off!))

Rukiea turned around to face Jay. "What? Why aren't you with the princess?"Her eyes flickered red again. She looked toward the door. "Someone i've seen before is quickly closing in on the castle grounds." She closed her eyes. "NO way! That can't be! I-its not possible! I saw his grave!"

Ooc: I just finished reading what we had done so I'll reply soon.

Bic: "Grave? Whose grave? Who is it?" Jay asked, nearly ready to shake Rukiea. "How dangerous are they? I need to know!"

Maybell glanced at the captive, frowning at him. "This better not be another killer, or you'll be the one to pay for it.", she said in a deadly serious, threatening tone.

"It's not!", Mallick exclaimed, "I'm as confused as you are!"

Rukiea dropped her sword. Her eyes flickered gold. "I-its.... SOmeone who was supposed to be dead.. A guard... I saw his grave.. I swear I did... Was I hillusinating his death?!"

The doors to the castle were slammed open. A boy, with his sword blood-stained, stood in the way. His red eyes matching Rukiea's. His eyes fell upon Rukiea and Jay. "If they wanted a guard to this castle. They should hav called me. But.. I'm not here for that.. Where is the King?"

Rukiea looked the boy. She stood up and picked up her sword. "Your not going anywhere Jake. I'll kill you. Jay, that's the brother i said had been killed... Jake."

Ooc: Got done with the first performance and decided to get on to reply real quick. Then to bed.

Bic; Jay slowly pulled his sword out. "Wait, didn't you want him back?" He asked as he held it ready. "Didn't you do that spell to bring him back?"

Leita walked down the halls, wondering where everyone went. "Maybell," She asked, looking down as she entered her sister's room. "Where is everyone." She looked up and stared in shock at Mallick. "When did he get here!" She exclaimed, amazed at how she would have missed something big like this happening.
