Falcon sat in her throne chair waiting. Her long nails tapping on the arms of the chair waiting for him to arrive. If he failed her again he would surely die. An hour past and still no one returned. She gritted her teeth slowly grinding them as she looked over to the door.

Two people, a man and a boy apparated right in front of her feet. "Well done Jim you live to survive another day." She said her face turned up in disgust as she flicked her hand to get rid of him.

She turned to look at the kid a smile slowly spreading across her face. "Why hello there." She smiled moving her way closer to him, bending down so her face was level with his.

"Oh my he looks just like him." She smiled taking hold of Arsen's face so he had to look at her. "Yes he even has his eyes." Her finger nail scraped along his neck up to his chin causing him to look up to the ceiling. "Here take him, don't harm his face." She smiled waving to him as he was taken away.

Arsen was aware of hands grabbing him as he was pulled away for the graveyard. Two of them tightening painfully around his arms. Once their feet hit ground, only the hands kept him from falling did he realise the snake was in fact a human being.

He scanned the room looking for potential exits just as Hades had taught him but there were far too many people in the room to fight at once. He frowned and turned back to the voice spotting a beautiful young woman. His eyes narrowed as he turned his head away from her seconds later to have it pulled back her nails digging into his face.

"What do you want? I haven't done anything. I don't even know who you are." He asked as hands grabbed him from behind taking him away. "Wait please." He cried as he was forced into another room. This one was small and dark with no light of it's own.

She returned to her chair with her locket in hand. Once she was seated she closed her eyes and began to mutter words the others couldn't hear.

"Erm my lady... the kid he..." Muttered Jim slowly moving forwards towards the center of the room again. "WHAT!!! Shut up you idiot can you not see im busy." She screamed then returned to her silent prayers.

"But my lady he can control fire. He was on fire but he didn't burn." She muttered barely louder than a whisper quithering slightly by her feet.

"And you only just decided to tell me, why? That is VERY inportant information you idiot." She snarled leaning forwards to slap him around the head. "Is there anything else you need to tell me?" She said leaning back in her seat her eyes burning down on him.

"You... you wouldn't let me speak my lady." He stuttered cowering back in his place.

"What you think this is MY fault." She laughed. "You think you're cowardest is MY fault." She shook her head waving her hand to two of the men by the wall to take him away. "Dispose of him for me please." She said polietly tracing a finger down one mans chest before turning to the other to stroke his cheek. "I'll make it worth your while." She smiled giving them a little wink.

"BRING BACK OUT THE BOY!!" She shouted all polietness gone. "Right you, you, you and you all come to me when i call. Don't hesitate i don't like to wait." She smiled moving forwards as Arsen was brought back into the room.

"Hello, sorry about that why don't we have a little chat? Doesn't that sound nice." She smiled taking Arsen by the hand to lead him over to her seat.

"Sit." She said non too nicely then covered it up with a smile. Once she was sat in her chair and Arsen on the step by her feet she began. "Right Arsen isn't it? I need to know where this man is." She smiled her voice staying nice and calm, almost sweet as she pulled open her locket to show her brother.

"Do you know where he is?"

Arsen stared in horror at the small room, he was claustrophobic as it was just being underground. He struggled against the men's hold trying his hardest to break free, he'd do anything right now not to go into that room.

A fist connected with his ribs, making him lose his breath as he struggled to suck it back in. Moments later he found himself being dragged back into the main room. He frowned, what was they planning to do with him?

He gave a little nod as he was pulled away to her chair. He had no choice but to listen, there was no way he could win this one. He just had to wait until Hades found him. That was if he was even looking for him right now all he could do was try to hold off whatever they were planning by doing as he was told.

He sat on the step and nodded once more there was no point lying now she knew exactly who he was. He glanced up to look at the man in the locket and frowned, shaking his head returning his eye back to the ground.

She frowned looking down on the boy. "What do you mean no? Look closer i know you know him tell me where he is." He snarled shoving the locket closer to Arsen's face, forcing him to look.

Her anger began to build inside, the kid just wasn't listening. "Boys get his hands. I think we'll go water boarding." He smiled taking hold of Arsen's face to place a kiss on his lips before he was pulled away.

She paced the room waiting for the boy to be prepared. Slowly she began to grind her teeth again, she would find him. She wouldn't rest till she had.

"He's ready my lady." Said one man who held Arsen by his arm, making sure to keep a firm grip. Arsen's hands now tied behind his back. She turned glancing over at him a smile creeping across her face. "Ooo i used to love it when he looked like that. I'm going to keep your head, it's beautiful. I think i'll place it right next to my chair, it'll be like he never left." She smiled looking into Arsen's eyes. She blinked looking away. "Right pin him down boys." She smiled taking in Arsen's fear.

She sat down on the ground her legs out before her. Taking Arsen's struggling head and placed it in her lap as the guys pinned him down. "Now i will give you one last chance, where is my brother? The Barela's were the last to see him. You are the last Barela so you must know." She waited a second and still didn't get the answer she wanted.

"Tom do the honours please." She smiled looking down at Arsen as his mouth was pulled open for a damp cloth. She reached out a hand for another piece of cloth this time placing it over his mouth and nose, looking to Tom to hold it down. Once everything was in place she raised her wand just over his face. "Aguamenti" A rush of water shot out her wand slowly suffocating Arsen as the cloth became soaked.

"Sorry sweetie this isn't your fault but i need him back. Surely you understand." She frowned playing with Arsen's hair.

His hands dug into his back where they were tied as he was forced to lay on the floor. His head lay on her lap like a pillow being held so he had no choice but to look up at the ceiling.

"I don't know where he is, i've never seen him before i swear. Please." He said looking up to find her eyes looking down at him. "My parent's hated me i don't know anything." He said as a last attempt as a damp cloth was forced into his mouth.

Water poured down on his face cutting off his air supply as he began to panic. His arms and legs trying to escape the tight hold as his body went into shock. His chest began to tightened urging him to take a breath, but doing so would clog his lungs in water no doubt killing him sooner. His eyes began to water and his ears rang as his body forced him to take a breath causing him to cough. The more he coughed the more water he inhaled making it harder to cling to life. His eyes began to glaze over as he started to lose the fight to live.

Falcon watched her smiled slowly growing as Arsen tried to fight back. "Good boy, keep fighting." She smiled, he's lasting longer than she thought he would. Her hands still ran through his hair as she noticed the first sign of him going. His eyes began to glaze over and close.

"Oh no you don't. Come back." She ordered stopping the water flow to slap him continuously around the face. Tom who was stood right beside her holding Arsen's head still, removed both cloths allowing Arsen to finally breath.

Once Arsen came back round she smiled looking down at him. "Do you remember now cutie?"

He gasped clutching the air as it filled his lungs once more. The sudden rush off it was enough to make him choke. His chokes drowned out her voice but still she continued to stoke back his hair.

He shook his head trying free his hands but the ropes were cutting into his wrists. He took deep breaths taking in as much oxygen as possible before it happened again.

He opened his mouth to speak when a faint transparent version of Hades stood floating before him.

"Hades?"

He took a deep breath willing himself further into the warehouse, but instead of going forwards he found himself going down through the floor. He frowned looking down on a scene he didn't like.

"Arsen... Arsen it's okay son you're doing amazing." He smiled weakly. "We're coming for you. It seems a lot of people care about you kid. You were wrong. Now you hang in there okay. Char's there worrying about you hold on okay. We won't be long." He frowned feeling the pull at the bottom of his back as his time began to run out.

She frowned. "Who's Hades?" She asked looking around at her men and recieved no answer. "There is no Hades here cutie." She smiled wiping the water off his face.

"Do you want to play again? That was fun was it not?" He smiled brushing back his hair. She sighed thinking for a minute. "Right let him up, i have a better idea." She smiledlifting Arsen off her lap so she could stand up. She waved her wand once making a small ugly cloth doll appear in her hand.

"Mind if i borrow a hair or two?" He smiled taking hold of the hair on the toop of his head and pulling till a few hairs left his head. "Thanks sweetie." He smiled kissing him once more. She took out a piece of string to tie the hairs together then placed them in the back of the doll and sew it up with her wand.

She returned to her chair again muttering things the others couldn't hear with the doll pressed tight against her chest. "Right that should do it. Now let's have some fun shall we." She smiled kissing the dolls forehead so Arsen would feel it. "Come here." She whipsered into it's ear making Arsen move forwards involuntary. "Good boy. Now i think we need a protective circle just in case." She smiled taking her seat patting her knee for Arsen to take a seat.

Once he was where she wanted him she began to mutter words again, this time making a shield build around them once it was complete the bubble disappeared leaving just a dull green circle around them on the floor. "Now we are safe cutie." She smiled running her hand through his hair.

He floated into the room through the ceiling. "Avada Kadvra." He cried killing one man after the other as he finally materialised into the room. The other no doubt were right behind him.

He searched the room looking for Arsen and found him at one end sat on the females knee. "Arsen! Step away from the woman." He spat out the last part, his eyes scanning the lines on the ground. The lines of a strong protective circle, no spell could get through that.

"Don't fire any spells at her, she's protected we'd just be aiming at ourselves." He said moving to the side to get a closer look at the circle.

"I can break into." He thought to the others moving back to stand with them. He took a deep breath and began to find the loop holes.

Briony jumped down into the room to see just what the situation was down here seeing Arsen with that woman made her heart tug so what would Hades be going through? What would Char?

Sending spikes of shadows into some of the men standing by she focused her main attention on the woman in the middle, her dark blue eyes boring into her own as she surveyed her cooly.

"Protective circle..."

Briony mused, trying to think of a way to break it.

Charlotte poked her head out of the pocket the Briony had out her in and she peered around, her eyes widening as she saw the things the room contained and she mewed happily when she saw Arsen, alive!

Jumping out of Brionys pocket she ran towards him pawing at the protective circle gently but staying put there so Dark could see her and she continued to focus her eyes on the woman who held onto Dark.

Charlotte mewed loudly and scratched at the protective circle.

After the kill he turned to look at Arsen's kidnapper, his head tilted to the side as he found she was watching him. "Want me to get him Hades i can jump that?" He asked pushing the thought into Hades head.

"Does someone wanna get that cat? I'm sure you don't want her getting hurt too. That circle is one sided. But what do i know?" He smirked licking the blood off his lips. He began to pace up and down the back of the room behind their little group. He hated staying still for too long and just like Arsen he hated small spaces.

Richard and Cobalt dropped down into the room together, both of them with their wands pointed at the woman holding Arsen inside a protective circle. While Cobalt was taking a calm and messured approach, he could tell by the heavy breathing that Richard was having a hard time not tearing the woman apart. With careful steps, Cobalt made his way up the protective circle and knelt down to pick Char-kitty up and put her in his jacket pocket,

"I think you should come away from the circle Soft-Soft." he told her gently as he took several steps away from the circle and threw up a sheild around himself and his little apprentice. Richard growled a little and moved up to the edge of the circle. He snarled at the woman,

"Let Arsen go right now or I swear to god I will rip you apart with my bare hands!" he roared loudly, "I will rip your organs out one at a time! Pull your veins from under your skin! I will turn your every movement into complete agony! YOU HEAR ME?! I will kill you through pain alone!"

He spun to Hades,

"Break this thing down or we're going with Aspen's idea and tearing that bitch's head off!"
