Young and Hopeless
Chapter 10
'The Dark Realm'

A/N: Sorry this took so long. I have been busy and I just got done with testing. I hope this chapter is good enough and I promise it is longer than the last.

Response to reviews:
Marauder3Moony: Don't worry, I won't stop anytime soon. **********************

Previous Chapter: They heard a pop and that meant that Rio had actually gone to get help. A few moments later they heard a pop and then one right after that. This had meant that somebody else now was in the dungeons as well. *************************************************************

"Oh snaps they weren't kidding!" Lucius squeaked.

"I have an idea," Riddle stated

"Oh yeah lets hear it," Ruby asked

"Run," he whispered his voice shaking

"Okay on the count of three," Lu added

"One."

"Two."

"THREE!" they all yelled at once and just as they were about to run they were stopped dead in their tracks. Not from fright, but from some outside force.

"I see you are planted to the spot," Grindlewald laughed evilly.

The trio looked down at their feet and it was true, they were planted to the spot- literally. "Hey Mr. G, long time no see." Lucius laughed nervously trying to keep his cool.

"Oh, uncie Grindlewald!" Riddle said in a baby mock voice.

"Shut it," Grindlewald or Mr. G as Lu put it growled. "That will be all you three; I can take it from here. Oh, and one more thing."

"What is it Mr. G?" Adrian asked.

"First of all don't you ever dare to call me that again and secondly where is Aaron?"

"Oh Aaron couldn't make it because he is on punishment so we had Rio here fill in for him."

"And why is Aaron on punishment?"

"Because he gave the young ones of the school the idea that they can throw eggs at the teachers and at your comrades, sir."

Lucius and Riddle busted out laughing while Ruby tried to stifle her small giggle.

"You think this is funny do you?" Grindlewald growled while glaring at the trio.

Riddle said "no" and Lucius right after came with a "yes" while Ruby just rolled her eyes.

"Well we will just see who is laughing when I am through with you."

The three of them gasped and immediately their smiling faces turned into blank stares.

"That's better. As for you three, why wasn't I informed that Yurio would be filling in for Aaron?"

"We didn't think it was that of importance sir." Trayc replied.

"Off with the three of you. I will deal with you later."

"Yes Mr. G.," Adrian laughed and Grindlewald glowered at him. "I-I mean, sir."

By the time he was finished with his conversation with the others Riddle, Lucius, and Ruby had escaped and snuck into secret hiding places. This time all three of them were separated.

Grindlewald just glowered and he apparated out of the dungeons.

While he was apparently gone, Riddle and them came out of their hiding places only to find an army of adult wizards surrounding them and holding very unpleasant things. These included: ropes, things that looked like dog collars, chains, potions of fearful smells and appearances, and worst of all. wands.

"Nice going genius's" Ruby stated in a most unpleasant way.

"What it was your idea to hide." Riddle said defensively

"How dare you accuse me of even thinking such horrible thoughts!"

"Silence!" Came a very angry voice from behind the group of adult wizards. They parted, Grindlewald walked forward, and they went back to their original formation.

"So you think that you could outsmart me now do you?"

"Awe, come on Uncle G. we were just having a little fun." Riddle said coolly.

"Well I'll show you what fun is. Seize them." As the wizards made to move towards them they ran for their dear lives but were caught almost immediately. (Considering the fact that there were three wizards that were chasing after each of them.) They really had done it this time.

"What shall we do with them sir?" One of the wizards asked. And the rest held in front of him three teenagers struggling with all of their might to escape the bindings that were holding them. "I don't care just don't harm them especially the girl. Throw them in a closet or something and I will deal with them. when I get around to it." He smiled evilly. "No, better yet, stick them in separate cells in the dark realm."

"Yes sir."

The trio was carried, blindfolded, not a long ways and then they were dropped into different cells of the dark realm and the blind fold was removed. The trio couldn't much tell because the dark realm was just as it sounded. pitch black. dark. They heard a door slam which meant that whoever had brought them in had left.

"Riddle. are- are you there?" Ruby whispered hoarsely after getting what was gagging her off.

"Mm Hmm." Was the reply that came, obviously stating that he hadn't yet been able to remove his gagger.

"Just wriggle your head and your mouth a lot until it comes loose." Ruby advised

Riddle did so and in time he got the horrible tasting thing out of his mouth.

"Thanks Rub," Riddle said relieved of some of the uncomfortable ness.

"You're welcome. Hey, Lu, you there?"

"Ahem yeah," he replied hoarsely. "I took the advice you gave Rid."

After what seemed like forever they heard a door open and then another.
