Chapter 10: Break Away

Finding the levers that Ruth was talking about, Red stared at them and thought of the danger they held. If she were just to pull one down, it would kill her in seconds. It was scary to say the least. Reaching her hand against the nether brick walls, she began groping around for anything that might ignite a secret door to open. She felt silly physically harassing around with the walls for what felt like hours. "This is hopeless." Red murmured and hit her head against the wall in defeat. Right as she did a brick pushed inwards and a clicking noise was heard. Red yelped when she fell forwards and into another room.

On the ground, she tried to regain her composure from the sudden drop, she was defiantly not expecting, "Seriously?" Red murmured at the irony of the situation. Pulling herself up, she dusted herself off and looked over to see the tripwires that Ruth also had told her about. Glancing from her sharpened nether quartz and the line, she simply shrugged and did the only thing she knew how to do.

'SNIP'

The wire cut in half and she could see the sprinkled red trail of red stone that was on the ground, begin to stop glowing brightly. Red grinned in triumph to herself and was feeling very proud, "Well, that was easy!"

"And stupid."

Red instantly tensed up on the spot and suddenly felt the warm breathing going down her neck. She began to turn around like she was in a slow motion horror movie. It wasn't too surprising to see Herobrine standing there with his arms crossed and his eyes viciously glowing white with wisps flaming brightly from the sides of his eyes.

"OH, Hi there, Hero…! I-I really wasn't expecting to see you!" Red stated casually with a sheepish 'innocent' grin. He didn't find the humor in it as he continued to frown dark. His eyes were probably freighting her the most, they always seemed to get brighter and more fierce when he was angry or upset.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" He questioned, eyeing the sharp white quartz that she so half-heartedly hid behind her back.

"I… I got lost?"

He growled deeply and tightly grabbed onto her arm roughly as he began pulling her out of the trap's activation room. Red felt panic rise in the pit of her stomach as he began trudging her through the dim halls like a rag doll that weighed no more than a feather. "Where did you get that?!" He continued to interrogate her while still dragging her through the halls at a painfully fast pace to keep up with. She struggled to keep up with his pace and she couldn't help but grimace even more when she saw the deep disapproving glare of Ruth staring venomously at her from behind the bars. Wolfgang also had seen her and only had shook his head and returned into a depressing fetal position on his bed.

"I just found it!" Red tried lying but Hero wasn't in much of a trusting mood at the moment, especially with her. Dragging her out of the torture chambers, the door slammed behind him and he once again pinned her to a wall with a pissed off expression.

"WHERE did you GET THIS?" He repeated with a snarl in his voice. Red whimpered under his grasp and began trembling.

"I-I just found it, I-I swear!"

"STOP LYING TO ME!" He shouted in her face which made her burst into tears. Herobrine watched the salty warm tears glide down the sides of her face and onto the ground. He stared her down angrily for a moment in silence as she closed her eyes and whimpered pitifully. Grumbling under his breath, he snatched the quartz away from her hand and threw it off to the side, it bursting into flames the second it touched the ground. Leaning into her, he grabbed onto the sides of her face, which made her open her tear-strained eyes to look into his own blank white ones. He shook his head slowly and leaned in and kissed her tears away, even licking away a few. He set his forehead against her own and continued to look at her.

"Stop crying…" He murmured to her and kissed her forehead. She sniffled under him and wanted nothing more than to stop being pinned by him into random things. Taking his hand he took his thumb and whipped away one of her tears, before taking the back of her head and pushing her head against his chest and into an embrace. Red was so confused by his fickle mannerisms, but for now just wanted to cry and let it out, not caring at the moment if it was him or not. She willing brought her arms around him and sobbed into his shirt. With his free hand, he rubbed in circles comfortingly on her back and then whispered into her ear.

"Scarlett… Where did you find that nether quartz?" he asked with a soothing gentle voice that was way calmer than before. She shivered and couldn't help but blubber out in sobs, almost incomprehensibly to him.

"A-A prisoner… n-named Ruth… I-I'm sorry!" She continued to cry into his chest and he secretly smirked when he got the truthful answer he was looking for. Kissing the top of her head once, he pulled back from her and gently held onto the sides of her shoulders. She uncharacteristically was shy as she gazed up into his eyes like a child that was caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

"Good girl… See? That wasn't so difficult. Now was it, love? When you listen, like I know you are good at doing when you want too. Things are turn out better. Don't you see? Don't you feel better now that you told me?" He asked her as he smiled softly down at her. She rubbed at her eyes with her sleeve and nodded tiredly, she just wanted to go to sleep now, she was so mentally drained.

Smirking he went to lift her up into his strong arms, in a bridal position. She didn't detest as she was just sick of fighting him every step of the way, she just needed a break. "I think you learned from your mistake, but if I ever find you doing something like that again, I will be forced to punish you, Scarlett. Don't go down into the lower chambers anymore. It isn't a place suitable for a Queen, especially my Queen, now is it?" He crooned to her which was lulling her into a state of placidity.

"I just want to go to sleep." She murmured softly into him and he smiled down at her.

"And sleep you will have, my darling." He told her and then teleported with her in his arms to his own bedroom. Red didn't know it was his room nor did she care. All she cared about was giving into her body's desires as she yawned. Herobrine went over and tucked her into his large crimson king sized bed, that was decorated to look like it was for royalty. He smirked pridefully as he viewed his soon to be Queen in his own bed. It was absolutely picture perfect to him. Leaning down, he set a chaste placid kiss onto her lips before taking off his own shirt and getting in the bed next to her. Red was already asleep by the time he took her delicate body and wrapped her closely against his own possessively.

"You're such a naughty little girl, Little Red… Perhaps, that's why I love you." Herobrine murmured in amusement and smirked to himself as he laid more kisses on her throughout the night. Scarlett being completely unaware she was ever more so giving herself away to the very man who stole her away from her world to be his Queen.

That morning Red fidgeted in her sleep and started to wake up from a wonderful plentiful dreamless sleep. Fluttering her brown eyes open with a small smile, she came face to face with a sleeping Herobrine, a shirtless one at that. Red's eyes shot open and her smile turned upside down. Panicking she began shoving the blankets and covers away from her and at Hero as she threw herself stupidly backwards and off of the bed. Groaning on the ground in slight pain and still tangled in some sheets. She laid there on her back and stared up at the nether brick ceiling. Herobrine's eyes were soon seen peeking over the edge of the bed at her with a wide smirk working on his face at her position, "What are you doing down there?" he asked with an amused tone. Red glared him furiously in embarassment and began trying her best to pull herself away from the entanglement of sheets around her legs and torso.

"Why are you in bed with me, you fucking pervert!" Scarlett squealed and began kicking off the sheets and pulling herself across the floor, just enough to stand up to her feet. Herobrine sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to look at her in amusement. Apparently, she was just some kind of side little entertainment for him, she assumed.

"If I don't recall correctly, you were tired and asked to go to sleep. So I brought you to your new room with me." Hero replied like it was the most obvious of things. Red crossed her arms insecurely and gave him a dirty look.

"You didn't touch me during the night did you- OH MY GOD!" Red screamed as she saw in a mirror, her neck was covered with love bites. Herobrine snickered in delight and leaned his head forwards towards her from the bed to 'get a better look' at the hickeys he had made on her.

"Now how did those get there?" He teased in hilarity. He seemed to be in a rather obnoxiously good mood this morning and it was bugging her to no end.

"You did this to me!? When I am sleeping and wasn't even aware of my surroundings!? You are grade 'A' potential rapist, my friend!" Red accused with as she looked back and forth between Herobrine and her swollen red love bites that were trailed down her neck for all to see.

Herobrine's demeanor darkened at her words "I am not. Just because you might think I'm some kind of evil villain, like many do, doesn't mean I am a mindless animal. Everything I do is with your compliance. I don't take pleasure in forcing you to love me. I'm being patient to wait for you to do that yourself."

"Well then, you're going to be waiting an awfully long time, Mister. I don't see how marking my body with your mouth when I'm asleep is with my 'compliance'!"

"You complied to be with me the moment you ignited the black opal portal." Hero went back to using the portal excuse, which pissed Red off. Red stomped her foot and glared him like a two year old throwing a tantrum.

"Why do you keep going back to that damn portal!? What is so significant about it anyways!? You might as well tell me since you never bothered to tell me before!"

Herobrine sighed and teleported in front of her, which startled her and made her stumble backwards. He grabbed onto her before she fell over again and smirked.

"What the hell is your problem! Don't do that!" Scarlett grumbled while Herobrine only deeply chuckled and helped her recompose herself. She tried her hardest to stare into his eyes and not down at his six-pack rock hard abs that were extremely well-toned and terribly difficult not to look at. He must have gotten that from all the mining he does, it is Minecraft after all...

"I apologize, It's a force of habit, sweetheart. Now as for the portal. The black opal blocks are of occult origin here and Minecraftia. They are said to be siphoned with dark magic that can be manipulated to do things like I did to you and I. The only exception to this one rite is I needed your compliance to finalize the ritual. When you accepted to ignite the flame, you set a channeling to your world and my own. Also, binding us through the black opals magic's divinity. One of the reasons black opal is so unheard of here is because they are considered highly illegal in Minecraftia to have possession of. Many have mined the opals, anyways, but only someone like me with my expert knowledge and power knows how to actually properly utilize the dark magic's full capabilities."

"Why would you go through all this for me? I don't see what makes me so freaking special. All I do when I play Minecraft, is yell obnoxious novel length curses at Creepers, bully big-nosed innocent villagers for their stuff, and built shitty and usually unfinished buildings. I also talk to the screen too much for it to be healthy. Are you into weirdos?"

Chuckling lowly he shook his head, "You are not a 'weirdo', Scarlett. There is much more to you that meets the eye. You came to this game seeking refugee away from your day-to-day life, that you don't even enjoy in your world. Here you are happy and open up. Every time you speak, I've been listening. I've heard your cries when you had a bad day at your studies. I've heard you through your happiness when you accomplish things. I've always listened to you when you would speak because I was always here to willingly listen to you. I know you are for me, because you're the only one whose lived this long around me to make me feel this way." He said as she looked at herself in the mirror with a frown. Herobrine stood behind her at her left side and placed his hands onto her shoulders as the two of them looked into the mirror.

"When I see you, I see a remarkable beauty that not one precious stone in all of Minecraftia could even begin to compare. I see a young woman who is funny, strong, loyal, intelligent, pleasantly straightforward, witty, and positive no matter what she goes through. You have a heart that is precious and I wish more than anything to possess it. I openly am sharing my heart with you, I just need you to do the same, my beloved Scarlett. Just see how much I care for you."

Red stared at her and Herobrine's reflection in silence and saw not one flicker of falsity in his demeanor when he spoke. He seriously meant what he was saying, though it didn't make sense to her. How could she, of all people, attract the attention of a infamous video game mythical killer? Though he wasn't so mythical now…

"If you truly cared about me, you would care that I want to go home back to my world with my sister." Red stated dully, "She's all I have… Ever since we were little. I fought for Blue and she fought for me through all the trials and shit people in our lives. We fought the world together and made it up until now. I can't imagine my world without Big Blue. We promised to be together forever."

"And she will never leave your heart, Scarlett. She'll always be there and in your memories, but someday you must grow up and depart away from your sister. She won't always be there for you like I can be here for you. It's time to move on…" Hero stated calmly. Red stared into the mirror feeling conflicted. Why would she even want to stay with Herobrine? She would only be trapped in the Nether for the rest of her days, never to see the light of day. And leaving Sapphire in the way that she did was completely wrong, she didn't want to leave her in the first place, but was he right about her needing to move on? Someday, Sapphire was going to grow older and want to get married and move on with her life away from Scarlett. Then what was left for Little Red?

…...

"I don't know…" Scarlett murmured and brushed her shoulders away from Herobrine and walked towards one of the windows to look down out at the vast hellish volcanic landscape of the Nether. In the distance, she could see the gigantic white ghostly ghasts hovering and wailing in the distance. She could also see random pig-men wandering around and patrolling the area where they resided. Herobrine stared at her back as she wistfully looked out the window and into the distance.

"You are going to keep me locked in here forever in the Nether?" Red questioned in a soft voice. Herobrine who was putting his shirt back on, shook his head even though she didn't look back to notice it.

"Trust is freedom, Scarlett. If I can trust you, I can let you wander the high grounds, but that will take a lot of time and effort on your part to establish. As my trust for you is already limited due to your little escapade back in the lower chambers with the prisoners."

"Who are they anyways?"

"Who?" Herobrine questioned and crossed his ams skeptically.

"The prisoners! Why do you keep them in there and torture them and eventually murder them!? Why?" Red turned around to look at him intensely for an answer to his heinous crimes he has committed against those innocent people.

"They are traitors to my empire, our empire. They deny me as their rightful king and continue to blindly devote themselves that that imbecile Notch and my idiot brother."

"Your brother?"

Herobrine stiffened up and his eyes began to begin flaming out much more harshly, that fierce look again that obviously said with saying… he was rather upset.

"Steve…" Was his only blunt and distasteful reply.

"Wait, I thought Notch was your brother, I'm confused." Red murmured as she thought back on the story on the internet.

Crossing his arms he titled his head and was still grimacing darkly, "No… Notch is my father and Steve is my younger brother. They both betray me and I gladly disown them. They are nothing but troublesome nuisances that need to be cut permanently from the picture. Once Notch is dead, I can take all of Minecraftia, not just the Nether, but the entire world. Steve should be simple enough to eliminate, I already enjoy toying with the pitiful boy's mind in my free time. He thinks he has an upper hand over me, but he's just a naive little child under Notch's wing, almost like a tiny hatchling under a nursing mother bird. It's pathetic."

"Uh-huh, I see… I didn't quite know that." Red admitted and was surprised Herobrine was being so open about his past and family issues with her. He seemed like he really needed to vent about it, because it certainly seems highly pent up. Red just so happened to be conveniently around and got to turn into Hero's own personal clown, therapist, and apparently a queen. Great…

"I don't expect you to know." He replied and then smiled softly as a thought came into his mind, "I'm glad you are seemingly much more open to me this morning, less defiant. If you stay this way, I will let you walk around here without my constant supervision. For now, I need to know where you are going because my trust has been already severed and needs some time to repair itself, of course with your loyalty it won't take long."

A knock suddenly was heard at the door and Herobrine sighed and glanced over at the door. "What is it?" he grumbled impatiently as a groaning zombie opened it and was standing there. Red gasped and stared at the zombie, he looked so real now that she was actually in the game! Red stepped away, not thinkingly behind Herobrine for protection. He stood there in annoyance and stared at the zombie.

"What do you want!? I'm busy."

The zombie grunted and groaned like he was trying to talk normally. Herobrine rolled his eyes and listened as if he could understand the grunting and groans of this disgusting undead creature. Herobrine continued to listen before his eyes shot open wide and he began replying to the zombie in some strange ancient sounding language that sent shivers down Red's spine. It was kinda sexy, even though she had no idea what he was saying…

"Damn it! Get out there and go find them!" Herobrine finally snapped at the zombie that shuddered and shuffled forwards and away from Red and himself. Running a hand through his short layered brunette hair, he turned to look at Red in frustration. "Stay here and I mean it. We're having a bit of an issue right now." Without another word he teleported away from her eyes and left her alone to herself again.

"He could at least tell me what was going on." Red murmured with bitter curiosity. Sighing heavily she looked around his room and didn't see anything interesting. Seeing as there was nothing to do, she decided to do a little bit of 'innocent' snooping. Heading over to his giant dresser, she opened it and only found clothing. How exciting…

Frowning to herself, she went through a few chests that didn't have anything that interesting, it wasn't until she came upon his side table when she found a stack of pictures. Opening the drawer she took out the pictures and began looking through them. The first one was one of herself… She was grinning brightly by herself and holding up a peace sign with her fingers, wearing one of her favorite and newest outfits that she wanted to show off. That was a picture she took of herself that one time as a 'selfie' to post on her Facebook. How did he get this!? Thumbing through some more pictures, she was utterly shocked and somewhat disturbed to see that every picture was of her in different photos. All of them were pictures she had posted online in some shape or form.

"What a fuckin' creep." She commented, though her body betrayed her as she was blushing nevertheless. Putting the photos back, she was defiantly going to give him hell for that one. After he was done doing, whatever the hell he went off to do. She wondered what language he had been speaking to that zombie, apparently it understood whatever he was saying. Though it seemed to understand English too, since he did go back and forth between the two occasionally.

Getting bored going through his things, she glanced over at his door and felt the temptation to leave. He told her to stay and if she left, she would only cause him to distrust her further. Then she would probably never get to roam around as she pleases. Then again, she is Scarlett Chandler and Scarlett hardly listens to instructions very well. Lazily shrugging her shoulders, she opened the door and casually stepped out and began wandering down the hallway as 'obediently' as ever.

The hallways were a bit more lit up this time by the red-stone lamps. In the distance, she could hear the sound of feet running on the ground and she swore she heard the same sound she would hear when a skeleton was around. Not having anything better to do and against her better judgement, she followed the sound. Hiding against a corner, further down the hall, she peeked around it to see a band of zombies and skeletons charging forwards through an open air bridge, that clarified that she was extremely far up inside the castle, from how tall the bridge was from the bottom of the Nether's ground surface.

"Something serious is going on for all of them to be so worked up." Red muttered to herself and continued to watch them, until she heard the low threatening rumble of moaning from right behind her. Turning sharply on her heel, she saw a greenish zombie staring straight at her through beady black eyes, that hardly looked like they were still hanging in their sockets. Red gasping horrified by this creature's appearance, she backed away from the zombie as it stared at her.

"G-get away from me!"

The zombie only came closer and was about to attack her. Red panicked and tried to think of the a way to defend herself, "I-I order you to leave me alone!" She demanded while shakily staring in hopefulness as the zombie paused and stared at her questionably. She watched him in fear and it didn't seem like it was welcoming in her order. Instead, it abruptly swung an arm at her, which made her squeal in terror as she ducked out of the way.

Couldn't have Herobrine controlled his stupid pets a little better!?

"Uhhh…! BY THE ORDER OF BEING HEROBRINE'S QUEEN, I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE THIS INSTANT!" She shouted at it. The zombie harshly grabbed onto her and was about to literally eat her face off. Trembling and feeling revolted by it's filthy hands touching her. It froze on the spot and suddenly let go of her and very quickly shuffled backwards from her, before unexpectedly kneeling down to her, almost shamefully. Her mouth fell agape as she stared down with wide brown eyes at the zombie kneeling to her like she was actually of monarch standing. Feeling somewhat of a power-trip from ordering around a Minecraft zombie successfully. Scarlett smugly crossed her arms and gave a firm nod and disapproving frown as she looked down on him 'intimidatingly'.

"Yeah, you better be sorry, Mister Zombie! Herobrine would have whooped your sorry ass to the End and back if you hurt me!" Red bragged confidently and smirked to herself as the zombie began chattering in it's low grumbles. That literally now sounded like apologetic whimpering and whines of one seriously demented puppy.

"And because I'm such a kind and benevolent Queen! I'll let it slide but you better not ever touch me again or your King will know about it!" The zombie looked up at her and whimpered some more while beginning to back further away from her. Now it seemed to be super grateful, in some strange way. Speedily shuffling past her, she eyed it as it left and then she couldn't help but smirk some more to herself.

'That kinda felt really good.' She thought to herself, feeling all puffed up. Scarlett didn't even think once about the fact that she had just admitted to being Herobrine's Queen, as she paraded on forwards aimlessly down the hall with a smug feeling still clouding her senses.

Now feeling hungry, she decided that trying to find a kitchen of some sort would be her next clearly important objective. You couldn't find a way back to your alternate universe on an empty stomach after all! Humming one of her favorite rock band's songs to herself. She opened up random doors and peeked inside but never found what she was looking for. She only found it interesting that she was so casually going down the halls and random typically 'evil' mobs were rushing past her like she wasn't even there. She only saw skeletons and zombies so far running about, hopefully she wouldn't see any spiders. Now seeing an over grown spider wandering the hallways seriously left a bad feeling in her gut, whether it be on her side or not.

Speaking of her stomach, it started to grumble again and she was becoming restless, 'What is taking Herobrine so long? I'm starving here! This place is only the equivalent of a colossal fucking labyrinth! No wonder he just teleports everywhere. I bet he doesn't even know his own castle's layout!' Red thought bitterly and glared down at her stomach as it made more obnoxious noises. 'I also better not only be eating pig meat or something for the rest of my life. If I have to live without pizza, Herobrine is going to seriously regret ever bringing me here.' Red sighed and opened another door. Walking through it, she was about to check it out, until she felt something take her into a strong chokehold.

Red tried screaming but a familiar hand was placed over her mouth, "You have some serious explaining to do, sister." The nastily rude voice of Ruth spoke while she began walking her backwards deeper into a very dimly lit room that appeared to be a plain old storage room.

Wolfgang walked out of the shadows and frowned deeply at Scarlett, "I thought you were going to help us, Little Red."

Scarlett tried speaking but it was muffled from Ruth's tan hand over her mouth, she tried to bite down onto Ruth's hand to make her let go. Yet, Ruth was much faster and witty as she squeezed her throat and choked Scarlett tightly, quickly making her stop in the middle her really foolish attempt.

"Bite me and you're as dead as that white-eyed monster is going to be when the rebellion is done with him." Ruth hissed and then suddenly threw Scarlett down onto the nether brick ground. Skidding across the ground, she slammed with a loud 'thud' into a double chest. Groaning and holding her head, that was now bruised and wounded from hitting the edge of the chest. She shakily pulled herself back into a slight sitting position and stared up at the couple's intense eyes, consisting of Wolfgang and Ruth.

Red deeply glared up at them, "Fuck! Why did you do that!?"

"We don't take kindly to deceivers, especially deserters." Wolfgang replied coldly as he crossed his arms while holding onto the hilt of a shimmering gold sword tightly, just in case she made a drastic move. Red shook her head in disbelief at the two rugged escaped rebels.

"I was caught by him at the release lever's secret trap activation room! How was that my fault!? I was trying to save you two, ungrateful assholes!" Red spat at them while trying to ignore the oozing blood that was running down the side of her head from the hard impact of the hurdle to the ground.

"I didn't believe for a second when I saw you, that you were just some normal prisoner that had somehow escaped. I should have known you were the rumored false-queen that's been quite an avid topic throughout our faction. In my eyes you should be brutally eliminated just as your vile boyfriend will be."

"ONE, he's not my boyfriend! TWO, do you two honestly damn well think it was my choice to be his fucking 'Queen'?! He kidnapped me from my world by tricking me! He's only not caging me in a tiny cell by my lonesome self, because I even think he's intelligent enough to know that is hardly a way to string along any woman with half a brain or any self-respect!" Red exclaimed loudly and then shook her head with a softer and sad expression coming to her scratched up face, "Look, I just want to go home. I want to go back to my world to be back home with my big sister, Sapphire. I can't live here in this world… but he doesn't take no for an answer. He's really the most persistent on me being his 'Queen' that will rule all of Minecraftia and all that other shit I could care less about!"

"I see… but I still certainly don't trust you. I wouldn't put it pass you, if we were to let you go right now. You would strut your little ass over to your power hungry boyfriend and give us away! We shouldn't even be wasting our time now with the likes of you. The only reason I decided we should take you back with us, is to hand you over to Notch for him to deal with. I have no idea how you can get back to your so said 'world' but I could care the less! I only do what Notch asks of me because I know his ways are the right way. Now are you going to come willingly or am I going to have to knock you into oblivion and make Wolfy here drag you the rest of the way?" Ruth warned as she gazed down at Red, who was trying to half-heartedly trying to stop the bleeding with the pressure of her hand, but it wasn't helping at all.

Red sneered, "I will only follow you if it will give me any chances of getting home and back to my sister."

"Fantastic… Now get your scrawny ass up and take this. You'll need it to protect yourself, because I am sure not going to put my life in jeopardy if you can't even defend yourself." Ruth said and reached into her belt to take out a small little dagger that maybe could cut through butter if one was lucky.

"That thing looks absolutely pitiful." Red commented with a grimace, as she struggled to pull herself up from her spot, where she had been so kindly thrown down by Miss. Personality. Ruth rolled her dark brown eyes and handed her over the dull dagger.

"What do we look like? A living breathing armory to you? We only have so much to work with after finally busting out of those cells… No thanks to you… Now enough pointless chatter. Let's get moving! Your 'lovely' boyfriend practically has his whole castle's legion of minions looking for us right now. There's no telling where 'HE' is right now, better hope not close, because I don't want to deal with him head on." Ruth commented and began adjusting her bow and arrows that were latched onto her back by black straps, then taking out a very unique looking enchanted serrated diamond sword from it's scabbard.

Red stared at the faintly glowing diamond sword with wide eyes, "… That actually looks really awesome."

"This is my best girl, Electro Blitz. She's been my companion in arms ever since I was just a little girl. Just wait until you see the devastation she can bring forth." Ruth boasted and grinned as she slashed the air in front of her. Red could hear the electric crackling and see the streaked blur of electricity following behind in it's wake.

"Whoa…" She murmured in 'shock', before glancing down at her pitiful little dagger. "Well, I at least need a cool name for my weapon too."

"Yeah, let's call her a piece of shit. Let's get going, already! We're sitting ducks staying here!" Wolfgang pressed on urgently and Ruth nodded to her boyfriend with a snigger as Red only rolled her eyes with a childish pout.

"Assholes…" She muttered and watched as they began expertly sneaking out of the storage room with Red 'not so expertly' trailing behind with her, dangerous as a butter knife, silver dagger in hand and ready to attack.
