My emotions are dull... I care for no one... I feel... nothing.

Matthew entered the kitchen and sat down at a small table. Its surface was smooth and glossy, untouched by the elements. He remembered playing cards when he was younger with his nanny. It had been a happier time.

He twiddled his thumbs, thinking about the past. He remembered skipping out on his parents's funeral, and not feeling anything when they died. They had been absent for most of his life anyway. They seemed like strangers to him.

He sighed and continued to wait patiently for Shawnty to come back down.

Jacqueline felt him whip away from her clutch. She figured that he was just a little uncomfortable. Never has she been so close to a guy without killing him. She saw him blush and she smiled a little. She followed his gaze and saw that he was looking into his old cell. She chuckled. "I don't think they did," she said, amused of the employee's mistake.

As Tobbi stood up, her eyes looked up at him. He was fairly handsome. She smirked. "And I can whip others with my chain," she stated, showing him the broken chain that pierced her black wings. She smiled.

She then rolled her hidden eyes at Tobbi who told Lallis that he was mad and didn't want anyone to pity him. She watched as Tobi glanced at Lallis' tiny wings, which were quite small compared to her own. She chuckled and smirked. Her eyes wandered him. Many cuts and bruises were on his skin. She sighed. She'll try to help him with his wounds.

Lailis looked up and over back at Tobbi. She almost put her hand up to motion to hereself, but stopped it. Of course he was talking to her.

"Lailis," she said with a small smile. He seemed a bit better, and for that she was glad. He bravely wiped the remaining tear-tracks away, making an effort to retain his pride. She hoped upon hope that she didn't seem pitying or condescending in any way (not that she knew how to). She felt he was a brave man. He was a knight, after all.

"Are you hurt very badly?" She asked, roaming her eyes over his bare torso. His skin was bleeding. She wanted to feel sorry for him, but knew that he wouldn't like it, didn't need her pity. Instead, she pitied them all. Pitied that they all had to live like this.

She looked back up at his eyes, waiting for an answer.

Annamaria ♥

Annamaria woke up from peoples voices. She tries to stretch her arms but she cant. Her wrists are tied up and so are her legs. She looks around and whispers "Where am I?"

Shawnty stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around her, drying herself off. She sighed and began to dry and comb her hair. Then, she got dressed into the clothes she left lying on the floor. She opened the bathroom door and walked back down the stairs, steam flowing out of the room. She walked into the kitchen and saw Matthew and smiled. "Alright. I'm ready," she said softly to him. Her outfit was awfully revealing and a little too seductive, but it was all she had for the moment. She sighed.

"He coudn't help but laugh on the inside. That was it? Nails in the arm?
"And here I was expecting a challenge."
He grabbed the hammer and nails, and started with his wrist. Not once did he avert his glare from the man.
"Although, you'll have to might a small exception. Not enough to lay down, see. So you're just going to have to settle for all of them in my forearm."
He started hammering them in, one at a time. He had nails put in his body before, but not so many at once.
He had gotten three in, and his arm was basically immobilized. Not from pain, but how the nails were in.
"Y'know...... I guess you never exactly met my previous owner.... No, the second before that.", he said, hammering more nails in. "Y'see, he was a carpenter. Pretty good too. Always good product, always finished on schedule and delivered on time. Made quite a killing off such a business."
All the nail were now in, and the blood was starting to seep up past his fur. He wasn't too worried. He had always been a fast healer and slow bleeder. Best guess would be an hour, maybe less until he was healed.
He began taking them out, one at a time.
"But he had quite an unusual torture mehod. He wasn't a pervert like you, oh no. Y'see.... he liked to make a point my combining business and personal affairs. When a servant was disobedient.", he said. The nail he was taking out at the time made that sort of squeaky creaking sound against the floor as he pulled it out. "He would take them to his work shed. And he'd let them feel the wrong end of his tools, but not to an extreme. After all, if they became handicappable, they'd be no use to him. No, he'd only go far enough to make a point. One although he had to get rid off. Used a saw to only saw half way through the poor girl's arm. Why? He found she was stealing from him. Don't ask me what, I don't know. But he ended up killing her because he slipped with his hand. Arm came clean off. Poor shame. She was cute, too."
He was on the last three nails now. The blood still hadn't dripped to the floor. His fur was holding pretty well.
"With me, he had a favorite. Nails. But he'd always try to find a creative way of doing it. Posed like Jesus Christ on the wall. Nailed my hands togethe behind my back. He even tried to bend me backwards, and nail my feet and hands together. Of course, it didn't go too well. All too easy to escape that particular one."
He took out the last nail, and dropped it on the floor. He didn't have much feeling in his arm. Probably because it was so many nails. The most he can remember having pounding into his flesh at any point was nine or ten.... no, it was nine.
He dropped the hammer on the floor at the man's feet. Alistor then took of his shirt, and began wrapping it around his arm.
"Although, now I AM a bit annoyed.", he said. "This was my favorite shirt."

"Carpenter, that's... picturesque. I never figured you for a handyman but you're pretty good with a hammer there."

He listened with interest to his story, taking a few notes along the way as well. When he was done he kneeled down and picked up the bloody spikes, one by one and returned them to his pocket.

"That was quite a show, pumpkin... I'm impressed, I really am. You've shown quite a lot of mental fortitude as well as physical one."

He paused a few seconds and put the hammer away as well before taking a step back.

"Therefore I almost feel bad for considering the third task a failure. It's a pity you couldn't perform the task exactly the way I dictated it, what with your shoulder to the floor and all... Sure, the cage was a little bit too cramped to curl up but hey, honest mistake, right? It's not like I purposedly set you up to fail. Even so, just think how close you got! Man, next time someone offers you a chance like this I just Know you'll make it."

He clapped his hands at him as he backed away from the cage, laughter growing in his voice.

"... but there's no price for second place. Almost just didn't cut it..."

+::+ "Chh~ Well, Lail~is, no major damage, it'll be gone in a day or two. Yup, yup, I heal as quickly as I hurt!" He boasted, basking in all the attention he was receiving. He watched as her eyes followed his form, his scares... His still naked upper body, "GA-AAH!" He quickly threw the over sized kimono past his shoulders once again and tied his sash as tightly as possible. He laughed at his sudden out burst, "please ladies, no more ogling" He thought to himself. Maybe it was the girl to guy attention he was receiving that made him think so crudely... "Oh noes, Imma pervert!" He whispered to himself in mock horror...

He was aware they were probably watching him, but he wouldn't complain, after all, he lived for the attention! +::+

Annamaria started to move around. Banging the floor getting very mad. After she finished banging the floor she pushed her back on the wall. And started huffing a puffing.

Matthew's thoughts were interupted when Shawnty came into the kitchen. He figured it must have felt nice to shower after being in that dirty shop for so long. Actually, he didn't know how long she had really been there.

He stood from the table. "Okay," he replied, leading her back through the entrance they had originally come through.

When they got back outside, it looked as though it was around miday, and it was rather cold out. Shawnty must have been freezing.

Jacqueline rolled her icy gray eyes beneath her brown bangs as Tobbi boasted. Her eyes stared at his hot upper body. She smirked deviously. When Tobbi noticed the attention he was recieving from her, she chuckled. As he tied up his kimono, she thought, Awww....why did you have to ruin all the fun? She chuckled at her thought. She loved to oggle at men's upper bodies if they were hot. And Tobbi was indeed....HOT.

"So...you are a dark knight, Tobbi? I am a Trickster Demon," she told him.

"Well, true. I could've curled up. But then I wouldn't have been able to use the hammer too well. But oh, poor me. I failed. What ever am I going to do?", he said rudely as he finished typing his shirt over his arm. "Oh, I know. I'll thank you. Y'see.... none of those nails came in contact with any bone. So they won't break in a few minutes. And without that little round, I'd still have complete feeling in my hand. But right now, I estimate feeling in my arm is at..... well, best guess is less than half."
He crouched, making a fist with his now wounded arm.
"But since I barely have any feeling in my arm, I won't feel a thing now."
He wrapped his wrist around as much of the leg shackles as he could, and began pulling. He couldn't feel anything, and the shirt kept the chain from scratching against his arm. He could pull as much as he wanted without feeling pain, therefore he wouldn't stop.
The chain snapped. The broken loop fell to the floor with a light thud, and he did the same with the chain on the other leg. After a few seconds, the second chain snapped just like the first.
"*sigh* The only problem now.... Oh. Nevermind. I know just what to do."
He tackled and rammed the front of the cage with his shoulder, sending it flying forward with his weight, knocking into the man's legs.
"I've busted out of cages before, but I gotta admit. You're the first one to make it this much fun!"

Shawnty smiled wider at Matthew. She was glad that such a handsome man was her master. The shower was very refreshing after being in the same clothes for many weeks and not showering for one week.

As he led her out the door they came in through she sighed in content. As they went outside, a cold breeze whipped around her. She was cold. The metal of her armor chilling, she unclasped it and placed it in the garage, revealing her upper body and bra. She shivered, and goosebumps arose on her light skin.

Lailis pulled her head back, wondering what she'd done to make Tobbi react so quickly.

"I-I'm sorry," she shuddered, confused but knowing that she should apologize. "It's good, though. Good that you will be alright, I mean." She looked to Jacqueline.

"Will you two be alright in there together?" She'd never seen people share cages before. Generally the clerks didn't put two people together in case they damaged each other. Maybe they were getting a larger than normal shipment in.

She got up slightly, shifting her position so that she sat more comfortable in front of the bars. She very rarely sat this close to the opening.

She watched as Jacqueline introduced what kind of demon she was. A trickster. Very powerful, just as she'd known by looking at her.

[Psychee]

The tall man simply stood with his hands in his pockets, listening to him speak. When he began tearing free from the chains he merely watched with interest as the flesh peeled off the arm but eventually he was free. When he finally rammed through the cage he laughed and applaused.

"Hahahah!! look at you go!!"

He reached inside his jacket and pulled out a napkin and nodded to his dripping arm. Guards were already swarming towards the area they heard the noise in but they weren't there yet.

"Oh wow... Say, need a tissue for that? I know I almost do..."
