Craig had eventually fallen asleep, he wasn't sure how long it had took but it wasn't easy. By the time morning, or whatever time he woke up came around his body was sore all over and hair was a mess. He normally had it gelled down so he would look professional, so much for that. He didn't even need to look in a mirror to know it, he could feel it was messy and stringy.
"I see you're awake…" Tweek opens the door slipping in and flipping the lights on. Craig winces and once his eyes adjust he sees Tweek was smirking. His hair must really be a mess for Tweek to grin like that at him. It did however annoy him slightly at how amused Tweek seemed about it.
"Grin all you want not everyone can wake up looking like a king alright?" Craig says bitterly. It wasn't fair that Tweek normally had messy hair it, he literally could never have a bad hair day. The grin fades from Tweek's face as he makes his way over to Craig kneeling down on his knees.
"Do you want to get out?" Tweek asks like it was the easiest question in the world. What kind of question was that? Of course he wanted to get out! Being tied up and left to sleep on the cold floor without a shower, or any bed wasn't exactly the ideal life!
"No I'm perfectly content being tied up thanks." Craig says every word dripping of sarcasm. Tweek didn't even smile or grin or anything he just kept his eyes trained on Craig.
"The only way out is to join the gang and that's not exactly easy." Tweek moves away standing up once more. Craig looks down in thought, if he did this he might be dragged into an all out war. For all he knew Tweek could have lost his mind and was making this all up. But if he wanted to get out then he had to play along.
"Fine, I'll do it." Craig mumbles out. He didn't really have much of a choice if he wanted to get out of these restraints. Tweek pulls a knife from his pocket and flicks it open. It was sharp enough to cut through flesh with ease… Tweek came back over snipping the rope with one cut. That thing could do some serious damage for how tiny it is… Craig pops his neck with a groan before getting up.
"What is it exactly I have to do?" Craig questions watching as Tweek stuffed the knife back into his pocket.
"You'll find out." Tweek looked so serious as he lead the two of them out and through some rooms. It was no wonder Tweek was the leader. But someone in there he knew was his old highschool sweetheart. He was destroyed when Tweek disappeared, he searched for days on end and didn't even sleep for a week. Now Tweek was right there in front of him someone completely different but same at the same time, it was confusing to say the least. Tweek opened a door and an entire crowd started to burst into cheers and laughter.
What the fuck was going on? He was grabbed by the crowd and shoved to the center where a large cage that went to the ceiling was built. What the hell?! They shove Craig in who looks around panickedly. Inside the cage was filled with sand, banners hang from the side of the cage all with the same symbol. A skull with a knife going through the head. Craig watches worriedly as Tweek made his way to the side of the cage taking a seat on a throne.
What was he planning? what exactly was this test? Craig should have asked more questions. Tweek signals for everyone to quiet and the entire room falls into an eerie silence. Craig swallows thickly, he didn't know what he was getting himself into but it wasn't looking too good. He was like a bird locked up in a cage, he was helpless.
"Bring in the champion." Across from him the cell opens and in walks… A ten year old little girl. She didn't even seem scared just stared at Craig like he was fresh meat.
Tweek what the fucks going on! I can't fight a kid!" Craig hisses angrily. Tweek didn't even spare Craig a glance his expression stone cold. Tweek pulls the knife that he used to cut Craig free tossing it into the cage. The kid sprints over faster than any normal kid could and grabs it with ease.
"Fight!" Tweek yells. The crowd once more bursts into cheers and shouts of excitement. The kid lunged at Craig and Craig moved out of the way. The sand shifting under him almost making him lose his footing.
"I won't fight a kid!" Craig hisses angrily the crowd started booing. The kid moved quickly taking Craig's talking as a perfect opportunity to strike. Shit he couldn't dodge! He attempts to dive out of the way the knife cutting through his suit jacket like it was butter. Tweek was just watching this play out as if he was watching a game. She spins the knife tauntingly before charging once more. He couldn't keep dodging he had to do something. Craig stood his ground planting his feet as firmly as he could.
"Sorry." Craig mumbles. Just as the little girl was going to stab him he grabbed her and threw her past him. She stumbled and fell rolling across the sand dropping the knife. Craig quickly grabs the knife going to the girl. He raised it up as high as he could and stabbed down as hard as he could. The girl winces away her jacket being pinned to the ground. The room was completely quiet as Craig got up once more glaring daggers at Tweek,if looks could kill Tweek would be dead.
"I… Will not… Fight a kid!" He yells angrily, Craig pulls the knife from the kids jacket and throws it outside of the cage. The last thing he wanted was for the kid to attack him while he wasn't paying attention. Clenching his fist and making his way to the bars closests to Tweek.
"You'd be no better than Eric if you did this!" He hisses staring dead into Tweeks eyes. Tweek didn't say anything just stared back at Craig any amused smirk forming on Tweek's face.
"How could you put a kid in a situation like that Tweek! Say something!" Craig screams as loudly as he could. Something about Tweek's smirk lit a fire in him. He would punch the asshole if he got close enough, he swore he could feel his blood boiling in his veins. Tweek's lips pull back into a smirk and he chuckles softly. Craig's suit jacket was ruined, he was covered head to toe in sand and his hair was dreadfully gressy. Let's just say today was not one of his best days.
"You want me to say something? Fine Craig, you passed." Tweek states like it was the simplest thing in the world.
