*at the edge of the pit*

*Worried* Be careful, darling.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

*looks at him, forcing a smile that doesn't quite seem right* What do you think it's like down there?

[protectndestroy.livejournal.com]

Bad enough that our father maintained a healthy respect for it. The things that we can't control or that can't conform- *He pauses searching for the right way to express himself* - that's their playground.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

Oh. *she peers down into the darkness, putting her even closer to it, watching the mist rising from it swirl*

[protectndestroy.livejournal.com]

*He reaches out and catches her arm, pulling her a safe distance away from the edge of the abyss.* Best not to get too close, Circe.

[wedomyplan.livejournal.com]

*comes up behind her, making sure her presence is known, but not enough to startle her over the edge*

Circe?

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

*turns to look at her* Think it's as bad down there as they say?

[wedomyplan.livejournal.com]

I can tell you from firsthand experience that it is.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

How did you manage to come out of it sane?

[kings-boy11.livejournal.com]

*keeps a very safe distance* What's that?

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

The pit.

[kings-boy11.livejournal.com]

Whatsit for?

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

The wicked. Things we cannot control.

*frowns*

I used to push people in it as a child. I didn't understand...

[unusualtricks.livejournal.com]

Well well well, what have we here?

*pushes his hair to the side*

Careful you don't fall.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

The pit.

*she looks at him, raising one eyebrow -- not exactly the sort she'd expect to meet*

Don't worry. I won't.

[unusualtricks.livejournal.com]

Good you never really know who might push you in it.

People can be so cruel.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

And are you one of those people?

[bernician-witch.livejournal.com]

I could push you in right now, you know that? Just trip and shove, like it was an accident. *her eyes flash, but she keeps a distance from the princess* Like you did to me.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

*she looks at her before looking back to the darkness below her* No you can't. You want to, but you can't. You know the others would never let you live.

[bernician-witch.livejournal.com]

What makes you so sure I care about that anymore? *her voice is soft, low, almost sing-song* If I took you with me it might just be worth it -- no one knows the Pit like I do, and I could hold you tight and drag you down deep with me, hides us beyond where even they could find.

*she shakes her head, as though trying to clear it* But then I'd be no bette than you, wouldn't I?

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

You underestimate their abilities, I think. And even if they couldn't...Death could. All B would have to do is ask.

*she stands there, locking eyes with Brea -- she's worried -- but Brea's voice is better than the screams from the pit*

[spiralsofebony.livejournal.com]

Moves quietly, almost like a cat and pauses by Circe, her hand gentle on her arm.

Circe?

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

*turning to face Jaenelle, she frowns* It calls to me. I can hear their screams.

[spiralsofebony.livejournal.com]

Come on. She takes her arm in her hand and gently tugs her away. Let's go find Ryan.

[unhappyhellgod.livejournal.com]

But...the screaming. It's in my head. Has been ever since she returned.
