Damned Woods

"He's asking to die!" Sanvi said. She tried again to get up. At this point, she had stopped caring about Joshua.
"I don't particularly wish to die," Aman said, considering his answer.
Aquaria whimpered in anxiety. She wanted Sanvi free, and was about to go fight Joshua herself. "Let Sanvi go!" she screamed, standing. She ran closer to the demon.

Cassandra looked over and saw that Aquaria was going towards her brother. She got tense, ready to go help him.
"Aquaria!" garin called out and went after her.
Joshua didn't seem to notice. He just kept Sanvi on the ground.

Aquaria stood still and hugged Garin. She buried her face in his shoulder again. "Sanvi," she whispered.
Sanvi fought harder now. Aquaria was scared, and she had to help the girl. And kill her obviously evil brother. "I won't hurt Cassandra or you," she pleaded weakly, most of her energy focused on getting free.
Aman stayed still, watching the scene in front of him, slightly amused.

"Joshua, please let her go," Garin begged the vampire, but knew he wouldn't listen. He looked to Cassandra, begging for help.
"Well, what I am supposed to do?" Cassandra asked. "She's the one who keeps fighting."  

[marixe alcyone]

"Just tell your lackey to let go of me!" Sanvi yelled. She finally gave up, weak, and lay still, crying tears of frustration.
Aman started laughing. "Stupid demon," he said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Well, he's not going to do so if he feel threatened," Cassandra replied to Sanvi. SHe sighed. "Now, what are we going to do?" she asked.  

[marixe alcyone]

"And you can shut up," Sanvi said to Aman. "It's your own fault you've made me want to kill you." She wanted to try and get free, but she just lay still.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Yes, that is true," CAssandra said. "Tell me why I shouldn't throw you to the dogs."  

[marixe alcyone]

"Could I just do one experiment?" Aman pleaded. "Then I will truly have earned the status you have given me, and I will be remembered for what I am."
Aquaria made no reply. She kept her hold on Garin.
Sanvi wanted to reply, but stayed silent. Getting free came first.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Some how, I don't think this experiment would be very humane," Cassandra commented and then looked to her brother. "Come hold him, Joshy."
Joshua let go of SAnvi and went to hold Aman against the wall.  

[marixe alcyone]

"It's just a demon," Aman said. He knew better than to fight this vampire.
Aquaria ran to Sanvi. "Idiot," she muttered.
Sanvi grinned. "You know it!" She rolled onto her back and sat up.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Cassandra sighed. "You're saying this to vampire, it's not going to go over well."
"You okay?" Garin asked SAnvi, standing by Aquaria.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi nodded. There was definitely a bruise on her back, but that would be all right soon enough. Unless Aman had his way.
"Just one," Aman begged.
Aquaria turned to her brother. "How well it goes over with me depends on the experiment."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Well, seems like this decision for them," Cassandra remarked looking to the three by them.  

[marixe alcyone]

"A lightsstone," Aman said. "To see the reaction."
"On who?" Sanvi asked.
Aquaria was speechless.
