Mera was having a hard tie focusing. Mary was gone and that bitch knew where she was. She clenched her fist so tight her nails dug in to her palms and drew blood. Hotaru gave a wheeze as it cause the vine to squeeze tighter, "Come on out you bitch, I know you want to gloat," she spat, her eyes the most wild they'd probably ever been. Hotaru eyes rolled back in her head for a second before they shot back, orange in the center, but still blood red, "My, my, cutting it a bit tight are we?" Sybil tapped on the vine, "Can't speak if I can't breathe." "You're speaking just fine now. Tell me where she is!" Mera demanded. "Why should I?" "What the hell do you want?!" Mera's voice came out at a different pitch. "As if that's an actual question," Sybil's eyes went over to Alari, "You guys forced my hand. Threatening me as if I'm some leashed pet that can be told what to do," she spat before looking back at Mera, "Simple trade right? My continued "freedom," if that's what we're going to call it, for the location of your sister. Decline too long as you just might find a corpse." "How I'd love to gut you," Mera growled, narrowing her eyes "If only I were an actual person right? And not shoved willingly in to the head of your favorite little pupil. By the way, this isn't actually hurting her. With the overload to her senses from all the blood, her body is working on overdrive to keep everything in check. She's got surprisingly good willpower, since her whole being is screaming to kill anyone and everyone around her and she could totally bust free right now if she wanted to. I will just have to try harder to send this little vampy on a rampage," she laughed at that and Mera punched the wall behind her, needing to hit something before she took it out on Hotaru. "Say yes," Mera looked at Alari, "Just say you're not going to do it, we don't have a choice!" "Of course you do, but I knew the choice you'd make a long time ago," Sybil sneered, "You're too attached to your little sister for it to be healthy. The second anyone so much as threatens her and you nearly fall to bits. What happened to that stonewall I met so long ago? Oh well, I guess when I actually first met you, you were a lot like your sister is now, that was before men tried to defile you right?" "SHUT UP!" Mera snapped at her and paled as there was a snapping from Hotaru's arm. "It's fine, it'll heal, but Hotaru's not gonna be happy with you for breaking her arm. I must say, though, you really must make up your mind. First you want me to talk, now you want me to shut up. How rude." Mera put her hands to her head, trying to get her composure back, feeling like she was about to have a bit of a nervous breakdown if Alari didn't say yes and someone didn't tell her where her sister was.
