Vince was in a fit of hearty laughter as Raquel struggled from his grip. When he was finally done laughing he caught his breath and turned to her again. "Now I can't let you go, sorry. Should've just accepted my offer," he said almost teasingly.

"But that's just taking advantage of me!" she said. "I'll do anything else but that!" She had tired herself out by now. She was much too small to really match up to him. "There must be something else you want, isn't there?" She looked at him hopefully.

"Hmm," Vince stared off into space with a concentrated look on his face as he thought of any more ways to make Raquel miserable while still getting something out of it. "Mm, I don't know, Rae... I mean there's not much you can do for me besides that. Besides, it's no use denying it now, after you have confessed your undying love. I know you're aching for it," he said wickedly.

Meanwhile, Vianna continued following the rumbling sound. She suddenly gasped. "Guys! I see them! Finally! Merlin's beard, there's a troll with them!" She then turned sharply to them, and gasped again but this time in disgust. "Ew, why are you guys walking so close?" She had been so concentrated on what she was following she had nearly forgotten her brother's and Raquel's fight in the back.

"Because he won't let me go!" said Raquel. "It's his fault! I never wanted to walk this close with him!" she turned her focus back to Vince having been too distracted to realize they had found the others. "Look, isn't there some other girl you'd rather? I mean I could be your slave or something. Just give me anything but that, come on, Vince. I know you're a nice guy. Why would you want to take advantage of me? I probably wouldn't please you at all. Just because I confessed my undying love," she rolled her eyes, "doesn't mean I want things to go that quickly."

Brant had yet to notice the others had found him. His focus was on the troll. It was harder than he thought to take out. He suddenly wished they had more help for taking out this troll.

ooc: Aw, bye!

"Well, yes, there's girls I'd prefer, but I've already been with them," replied Vince dully, who hadn't really noticed his sister or the others either. He was far too busy making Raquel miserable, what else could possibly be more important than that? "Though I do like the sound of that 'slave' idea," he smirked deviously, turning to face her. "All right, Raquel. From this point on, you're officially my slave. You will do as I say, no questions asked. I'll give you back your freedom by the end of the week Sunday."

Vianna rushed over to the other two, but suddenly stopped abruptly behind the troll. She wanted to call out to them, but the troll was standing right between them, there'd be no way she'd be able to catch their attention without catching the beast's as well. She lifted her wand at the foul creature and shoted out, "confringo!" Unfortunately, the troll was far too large to be too severely hurt by the curse, but it did cause its left ear to explode into a wild fire on the side of its head, making it wail as it ran around in circles beating its burnt ear with its club.

Vianna took this opportunity to call out to the others and urge them in her direction. "Airi, Brant! Come this way!"

Aliana stumbled slightly in her oversize uggs before her head snapped up to glare at him. Oh how she hated, no, loathed him. But he was just too gorgeous. A few swears in french, she sighed and shook her head. "No use now. Everyone could be kidnapped." She muttered, turning around and heading to the lake.

Lainey rolled her eyes. "I'm saying," She replied, her glittery eyelids watching him carefully. "You are a complete idiot and if you honestly don't get what I'm trying to say right now, you are probably never going to get it." She rolled her eyes and grabbed a spoon of orange marmalade, smearing it on and taking a bite.

Raquel let out a light groan. She'd probably regret it later but she needed him to let go of her. "Alright, I'm your slave," she said through gritted teeth. "Now, let me go, please. You've held me long enough, I'd think. People may start to think there's something going on between us."

Brant jumped and yelped as the troll's left ear suddenly caught fire. What in the world was that? But that's when he heard it. Someone was calling his name. It was Vianna. "Vianna?" he called. "You're there? And Raquel and Vince too?" He squinted his eyes to try and look past the troll and noticed Vianna's faint outline through the darkness. He grinned. "They've found us!" he said to Airi. "Come on!"

Airi watched in wonder as the Troll's ear caught fire and turned to Brant in surprise. When she noticed Vianna, Vince and a disgruntled looking Raquel coming up to them. The Ravenclaw jumped to the side as the Troll grabbed her knocking her over and causeing her to twist her ankle. Airlia grimaced in pain, but, got back on her feet and ponited her wand to the offending creature.

"Thank goodness!" Airi shouted, shooting a well aimed hex right at the Troll's head. suddenly the Troll began walking away from them with a confused expression on it's dull face. Airilia smiled and turned to Brant with triumph in her eye's.

"That was the first time I've managed to properly Oblivate (SP?) something... I'm actually rather pleased with myself" Airi said, limping slightly as she stepped closer to Brant. Now that the Troll was gone they could continued they're search in peace and quiet... Except for Vince that is.
"You all right Brant? Damn thing shouldn't be bothering us now... I've sent it off on a very important errand and it's not likely to return."

"But there is!" grinned Vince stubbornly, though he unwrapped his arm from her shoulders as he spoke and now turned his attention to his sister and the rescued two.

Vianna grinned like a giddy child, running over to squeeze Airi and Brant in a tight hug. "I'm so glad you guys are all right!" she squealed in delight, letting them go and looking down at Airi's injured ankle. "Oh, Merlin," she muttered faintly. "Surely you know a healing spell? I've never been good at those."

Airlia laughed so hard at her freind's earnest words that she almost fell over in mirth. She hugged the young women back and then smiled sadly at her.
"Never have I to be honest... I've been practicing as much as I can, but, I don't think I could properly manage it now... And if I do it wrong I could easily lose al the bones in my leg" Airi stated matter-of-factly, she reached down and touched her ankle to judge the pain and winced as agony shot through her short frame.

"From what I can tell it's sprained.... I'll be alright it's not that bad" The Ravenclaw said, taking a few steps forward untill her knees caved in and she fell back against Vianna. She hastily pulled herself back upright and strightened out her shirt as if that hadn't just occured.

"Here, just lean on to me, I'll help you," said Vianna, watching her hurt friend rather sadly.

"I'm fine, really" Airi said in a cheerful voice. trying to do a little jig to show her wellness and only manageing to hurt herself more. She was already becoming more annoyed by the second and with a little huff of indignation, sat down on the ground. She gingerly lifted her ankle and sighed in defeat.

"It wouldn't hurt to try, and if it ends up worst, well it ends up worst" Airi said, taking out her wand and waving it over her ankle, she took a deep breath and with her eye's closed adressed her freinds.

"How does it look then? does it still resemble a leg?" Airi asked, afraid to look for herself.

"Merlin's beard!" gasped Vince, the horror clear on his wide-eyed face that had suddenly turned so pale. "You've melted your foot off!"

Vianna giggled, then elbowed her brother rather roughly. "It looks normal, Airi," she said with a smile. "I think all you can do now is stand and test it out."

"What!! What happened?" Airi exclaimed in fear. untill she looked down and saw her pefectly still intact ankle. She glared up at Vince and after gently getting to her feet and trying out her ankle like Vianna had said. She rounded opon Vince. She gently pulled at his robes drawing him closer with a seductive smile on her beautiful face.

"Vince Darling... There's something I've just been dying to tell you" Airi whispered, winking at Vianna at the last mintute so that only she could see and then adding in the same sweet seductive tone.

"You my freind are a dunghead.. That's all." Airi finished, pushing the boy away with a calm expression and then walked off down the corridor.

Vince watched Airi intently, he actually believed she would say something serious, until she finally spoke. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and watched her walk off, then laughed lightly. "I never thought I'd hear you say the word, much less in an insult to me," he said, though he looked highly amused. This new side of Airi seemed it would be entertaining.

Vianna rolled her eyes, though she had a wicked smile on her face. "Oh yes, dear brother, these girls just looove you," she chuckled, following after Airlia.

"Geuss I'm just full of surprises today"
Airi smiled bright as her freind came up behind her. Though it quickly faded as she realized that, since they were all in the dark corridor that there was no one to help get them out.

"How did you guys get down here anyway?" Airi asked, her voiced laced with curiosity as she turned a corner and found herself in a large white room with five, four poster beds placed in a row along the left wall. To the right of these beds was a long rectangular dinner table with seven chairs and to Airi's great amazement the table was fixed for a feast and was laden with food and drink.

The young Ravenclaw stood in silence and stared at the strange arrangement. Why was this here underground.
"Wow... Hey guy's check this out!" Airlia shouted to her freinds moving further into the room.

Vianna shook her head, suddenly remembering their mission, the excitement of finally finding the other two had kept her distracted. "Oh, right! We came through a portkey! All we have to do is go back and it'll lead us back into the ca--"

She stopped abruptly as the sight of the white room came into view. She gasped, looking all around. At first she felt a thrill, though she then narrowed her eyes suspiciously, not getting too close to the furniture. "Well, isn't this convenient," she said, crossing her arms and tapping her chin with her index finger. "Five beds and a feast... it's fishy."

"I'm not complainin'!" said Vince who was already cheerfully filling himself a plate with the warm, recently cooked food. Vianna rolled her eyes at him.

Airi who had been examining the blankets, turned abruptly at the sound of clinking plates. Airlia gasped involentarily as Vince began pileing food on his plate and hastily crossed the room in agitation.
"What is wrong with you?" Airi whispered furiously, grabbing the plate from him and putting in back onto the table. she brushed back her hair and glared at the young man.

"How do you know it's not poison? What if that's how they kill the victims? You have no idea what's in that food, and yet your willing to shove it into your mouth!" Airi stated, "Are you trying to get us killed or are you just that dumb?"

"Oooh," muttered Vianna with raised eyebrows, taking a step back from her brother and the angry Airlia.

Vince had a lazy smirk on his face as he too, raised his eyebrows but in mock surprise. "How kind of you to be so concerned, Airi, I had no idea you cared that much," he said teasingly.

"You are noit going to turn this on me!! And yes I do care for you as a freind.. I've known you now for seven years and if it were not for Vi, and I'd feel rbad if you did kick the bucket" Airi said, pushing him slightly and then flipping back her hair in great annoyance. before adding in a calmer tone.
"Now I don't mind if you want to do youself in Vince, but, just wait untill we get out of here before you decide to act stupidly... Okay?"

ooc: How kind of you, thank you!

Vince laughed lightly, the more annoyed or angry Airlia would get, the happier a guy he was. "Sure you do," was all he muttered as she walked away. He yawned and took a seat by one of the chairs at the dinner table, leaning back lazily and watching the others absentmindedly as he pulled his mess of a hair back with a hand.

Vianna sighed. "So what now? These beds are starting to look terribly tempting," she said as the exhaustion from the day's adventure began to get the best of her.

"I don't know," said Raquel with a small sigh. Although she was quite delighted to have had Vince let her go. And maybe if she was really lucky, he'd forget about her being his slave. At any rate, she sat down in one of the chairs.

"Then go lie on a bed," said Brant to Vianna. "Honestly, I don't think it'll hurt to just lie in it." He went over to a bed and sat down on it. "See? It didn't swallow me or anything. I think the beds are safe."

Vianna watched Brant curiously as he indeed, did not get sucked into the bed or anything of the sort. She cautiously approached one of the beds and took a seat on it. "Wow, they're far softer than the ones in the dormitories."

Vince, on the other hand, didn't seem too tired. Just lazy. And unfortunately for Raquel, her sitting at the dining table as well brought her back to his attention. "Hey slave, come rub my feet," he said in a mischievous tone of voice.

She looked up and glared at him. "I have a name," she shot at him. "And you'd better not have any toe fungus or weird disease." She supposed she had to do it. What would happen if she didn't? He'd probably just grab hold of her again.

"I know," he muttered as he bounced on the bed some to test it. "Maybe this place is like the Room of Requirement?" He had never been to the actual room being unsuccessful at finding it, but he had heard about it. It always had whatever the person who walked by it was looking for.

"Of course not, I take good care of myself," replied Vince, lifting his feet up to rest them on the dining table so that Raquel could get to work.

Vianna frowned slightly. She remembered her brother mentioning the famous room earlier in the day, but he never bothered to explain what it was. "What's the room of requirement, exactly?"
