*The moment Zero feels Sebastian's soft touch his body relaxes. Now that the wizard he loves so much is free he can relax, and he takes a soft sigh of relief. The warmth of the man as he leans against his shoulder is comforting, and the urge to kiss him has to be forced aside. This isn't the time, nor the place for such behavior, someone is sure to be watching. He steals a glance to his injured and shackled wrist before returning his eyes to his boyfriend.*
It doesn't hurt all that bad at the moment. I'll heal up just fine when we're out of here.
*Lifts his shackled arm, and gently embraces Sebastian's slender shoulders, the ominous clinking of the chain echoing throughout the small room.*

*Gives a sunny smile, gently rubbing the wrist that was formerly shackled, biting down on his lower lip as he feels the sting of the key still underneath his skin. Sebastian shudders, telling himself that Zero did it willingly, he ought to do the same for his boyfriend. He inhales deeply, internally ordering him to do the right thing.*
We'll be out soon, Zero. Let me fetch your key...
*Flips out his wand, tapping it on his left wrist, the overly selfish part of Sebastian refusing to curse himself, even for the beautiful wizard before him. Old habits died hard and many Purebloods never lifted a finger for anyone else unless they were benefited.*
*Sighs dramatically, hands shaking violently as he taps at his wrist again, eyes shutting as he mumbles the curse, still not able to actually follow through.*
*Mutters, eyes downcast.*
I'm... so useless... Tell me I can do it. I know I can...

*Licks his lips nervously, watching as Sebastian has trouble performing the bit of magic required to set Zero free. Instantly worry and doubt fill the wizard, this shouldn't be that difficult really. Obviously it takes a bit of nerve to hurt oneself, perhaps Zero shouldn't have been so quick to be self sacrificing.*
*Chuckling nervously, he brushes his fingertips along Sebastian's cheek bone, and wills his voice to sound encouraging and light.*
It's not difficult to do... And, you are far from useless. Just think, my darling friend, if it were not for you, I would be unhappily married right now.

*Dreamily mumbles, voice gaining confidence.*
I'm definitely something special, aren't I? If I can break up an unhappy couple then I can do anything! Well... here goes.
*Feigns boldness.*
Diffindo!
*Whimpers as the severing charm finds his wrist, slicing halfway to the bone in his nervousness, blood spilling freely onto the floor and Sebastian's cream-coloured shirt. Before he complains anymore he manages to extract the bloody key, clenching his jaw as he offers the gruesome item to his boyfriend.*
*Through a tight smile.*
Eye for an eye, my dear friend.

*Mouth gapes open in awe as Sebastian cuts the key out of his wrist, wanting to look away from the gore, but unable to do so.*
Sebastian, y- your wrist.
*Ignores the key for a moment and winces at the sight of the man's self inflicted injury before quickly performing another Severing Charm, this time on the remaining sleeve of his shirt. Once it is ripped from his arm, Zero ties it tightly around his beautiful boyfriend's wrist.*
Merlin, dear one, you really do have it in you.
*Begins to move to kiss the man, but catches himself just in time, covering up the movement by plucking the key from Sebastian's fingers. Wasting no more time he unlocks the shackle from his wrist, and roughly rubs the spot where it was.*

*Recognises Zero's expression and smiles helplessly, wanting to embrace the man but knows it will look too friendly given the circumstances.*
*Silkily.*
I want you...
*Clears throat quickly, catching his slip.*
... AND I to get cleaned up as soon as possible. I'll help you out since your legs seem absolutely locked together, Zero. Wretched shame, truly.
*Wraps an arm around Zero's shoulders, dragging the wizard with some difficulty because of his injured wrist, shuffling them toward the exit, hoping that this experience is over and they can finally leave this heart-wrenching maze.*

*Breath catches, and eyes flutter closed with Sebastian's near slip. Those first few words will give him enough to endure what's hopefully the their last legs of this wretched maze.*
A steaming hot bubble filled bath will do wonders for our aching bodies, no?
*Smiles gratefully to his love as he his hefted along, trying to do his best to help, and move them along quickly to escape the room they've spent what feels like an eternity in.*
Once we've finished here I say we have a drink, my friend. A well deserved bottle of wine or two for the each of use should do the trick, eh?
*Finally they've escaped the room, and continue on down the corridor.*

~~Zero Quinn and Sebastian Bordeaux~~
~~The corridor leads to a small room with two exits.~~
~~One is a magical barrier and the other a wooden door.~~
~~Beyond the magical barrier outside can clearly be seen.~~
~~An inscription reads:~~
Freedom has been earned for one and one only.
Sacrifice or Self Satisfy.
Freedom or Fearful Fate.

*Finally Zero can see two doors, thankfully one looks to be the exit, and his heart starts to race with the suspense of leaving this dreadful place. And, the Leg Locker Curse he's under isn't the most comfortable of all ways to be cursed.*
*With relief beginning to wash over him, his eyes fall on the inscription meant for them to read, and possibly gain another clue. As he reads his eyes widen a bit, and hysterical fits of laughter overcome him.*
*Tears roll from his eyes as he clings to Sebastian for stability, gasping for air.*
B- Brilliant! Ab- Absolutely bl-bloody f@!$ing b- brilliant!!
*Of course there would be a catch, and honestly Zero isn't all that surprised by it. Slowly his laughter begins to subside, and he can finally breathe a bit better as he steals a quick glance to his boyfriend, curious about what his reaction is.*
*Naturally, this means Zero's stuck here in this Labryinth. He isn't going to walk through the barrier without Sebastian by his side, therefore, there is only one conclusion.*
*Softly.*
Sebastian, you're free to go, my friend.

*Sebastian's firm grip slips slightly as he reads the sign, realising it immediately and pulling the wizard closer to his body, teeth gritting as he grimly contemplates what will happen. If Zero could walk they could argue all day about who would complete the maze. As it is, Sebastian feels himself shudder at not knowing what Zero will have to endure.*
*Eyes round dramatically.*
There must be an alternative! I've cheated loads in my life, there's gotta be some way out of this mess. I'll try and remove the Leg-Locker Curse, precious one.
*Firmly shakes his head, looking over Zero with concern, lightly pushing the man as if his behavior seems unstable. With a flick of his wand Sebastian attempts to lift the curse on Zero's legs.*
Even if you can't walk I'm going to have to refuse. I have no way to know what horrors await you! I can only assume a dragon or worse!
*Tenderly.*
No, dear Zero. I have enough to feel guilty about.

*Continues to cling to the wizard, loathing the situation they're in with his head hanging a bit, slowly beginning to shake in disagreement.*
No there isn't an alternative. Not unless Ariadne the Goddess of the Labyrinth or Hecate herself wishes to help us right now, we've no other choice, but to make a decision.
*Expression grows soft, almost sad as he gazes into Sebastian's lovely honey brown eyes, wondering if he'll have the good fortune of ever setting sights on them again. His throat swells, making it hard to swallow, how Zero would hate to say goodbye to this man.*
*Chuckles shakily, wobbling a bit.*
We could fight it out, and allow Fate to decide for us...
*Looks eagerly to his legs, hoping to the Gods and Goddess of this land that Sebastian's counter-curse works.*

*Remains stubborn, eyes narrowing, not at Zero's words but at the tedious situation they find themselves in. He mentally blames Sylvan, the Dark Lord, and all the Death Eaters who came up and probably all know that he and Zero are close. Sebastian had never bothered to question the Cause until this stressful moment.*
*Looks tearful.*
We'll just live here then, darling one.
*Faces Zero, still grasping the man close, giving a weary, sad smile as he reaches and strokes both of the wizard's thighs.*
I'm not fighting you, Zero. If the counter-curse worked I want you...
*Says with difficulty.*
To go on without me.

(sorry! I've had school work up to my neck! I've missed so much so I'm just gonna take myself out of the maze. if thats alright)
*Peter just sat there. Not knowing what to do. *
Thats it. I shouldn't have volunteered to do this.
*as loudly as he can*
HELP HELP! I DON"T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE!!

~~Severus Snape~~~~The wall crumbles enough to allow enough space for a person to squeeze through.~~ ~As Snape begins to make his way through it, the muggle girl runs up behind him and tries to clamber up herself.~~ ~~Being so small, she doesn't manage it and notices that Snape is not trying to help her.~~ Mister? Are you going to leave me here? ~~The open passage leads on down another corridor into a small room where a puzzle is laid out.~~ ~~The wall ahead of him has various symbols on it.~~ ~~A sun, a drop of water, a flame, a bird, a flower and a snake.~~ ~~An inscription by the entrance reads.~~ Use your magic to satisfy the symbols. *So focused on the room ahead, Severus had nearly forgotten that there are others with him when the little Muggle girl calls for his attention. Looking to her, he begins to back out of the space he was shimming through.* I was... *Turns his gaze onto the man still imprisoned in the stocks, knowing that the outcome for both is grim, but the ever nagging thought that he might have to take them along with may be the way out of this Labyrinth.* *He takes a moment to ponder his options, eyes held on the weak wizard. It doesn't take long for him to make a choice, and his wand is once again aimed, but this time it's aimed at the stocks holding the man.* Relashio! |

Blinks in response, wobbling to and fro, tired of his legs being locked together. Some where, and some how this has to end.* *Looks to his legs, the counter-curse worked, and he hides this from his love, yet he has to make a decision, Sebastian is far too stubborn to do it. Without wasting another second Zero lifts his brilliant green eyes to his boyfriend's, and tries to convey everything he is feeling with one look, not wanting to resort to words that can be over heard.* *Zero's choice is going to take more strength than he has ever had to use in his entire life. Feeling like Dragon's Droppings his lips blow a light kiss to Sebastian, and he gives his boyfriend a shove in the direction of the magical barrier. If Sebastian isn't willing to walk through on his own, the Zero's going to help him along.* |
