Crimson Academy RP

Avan helped her up. Once she was seated, he swung on easily and gracefully behind her. He took the reins, trapping her between his arms and against his chest. "Ready?"

Leo tried to close him off, but wasn't fast enough.

Dawn blushed lightly and nodded, "Yeah." she said, anxiety creeping into her voice.

"Ha! You mad bro?" he grinned, starting to speed up.

"Relax. We'll go slow." He clicked his tongue and urged her into a walk. He met Skylar outside. "Take it slow for now. She's still a little nervous."
"At least she hasn't peed herself yet."
"Shut up, Skylar!" he retorted with a laugh. "I was nine."
"With a very weak bladder."

"Not as mad as you're gonna be!" He shot past him. They left the forest and entered the field of vibrant, colorful flowers.

Dawn laughed softly, becoming more comfortable. She leaned back against Avan for support.

"You say that now!" he smirked, continuing after him, trying not to get distracted from the new scenery.

"Alright, let's go." They headed towards the riding course through the lavish, exotic garden and glass forest.

Leo threw his head back and laughed.

Jaime pulled up to the gate. He nodded to Tom and drove up to the house. He met Simon in the foyer. "Is he here yet?" he asked quietly.
Simon nodded, falling in step with his brother. "He's in the basement. The pentagram is ready as well."
"Good. Good. And Avan brought Dawn, correct?"
"As planned."
"Perfect."

Dawn was first tensed when the horse started to move forward but started to relax after a while, actually enjoying it, "This is fun." she grinned.

"I refuse to lose against you!" he called, picking up speed.

Cyrus woke up with a groan and looked around, seeing nothing but pitch black. He started to panic, realizing he something was tied over his eyes to blind him. He tried to move, but he was tied up, and there was a cloth in his mouth, muffling his yells.

"Want to go a little faster?" he asked, admiring the new trees, flowers, and plants his family had bought since last time.

"Prepare to be disappointed!" He pushed the car faster, whipping around a curve.

Simon and Jaime headed down to a reclusive section of the basement. "Hello, Cyrus. Enjoying your quarters?" Jamie asked, looking at the boy.

"Sure." Dawn smiled.

Drake scowled, and started to go faster, wanting nothing more than to beat Leo.

Cyrus started to panic even more, though he was unable to respond since he was gagged. He started to twist and turn against his binds, but to no avail.

"Alright." He clicked his tongue again, and Nadia sped up into a steady trot.
Skylar followed suit. "How're you doing up there, Dawn?"

Leo still giggled incessantly as the wind lashed against his face. They had one last stretch of forest to go through before finishing.

"Oh right. You can't speak." Jamie peeled off the gag. "Are you comfortable?"

"Doing okay." She said, though she looked a bit nervous.

"Dammit!" Drake grumbled, continuing to go faster, "I. Re. FUSE!"

"Who are you?" he demanded in a rush, catching his breath. He looked around blindly, "I'll give you whatever you want, please, just let me go."

"It's not so bad, is it?" Avan asked, smiling at the back of her head.

"Give up! I am obviously the master of go carts!"

"Oh, I don't want anything from you. Just your undying devotion," he said innocently. He moved the chair he was tied to inside the pentagram.

"Not really, I guess." she admitted, cracking a smile.

"No you're not!" he said, attempting to get to Leo's speed.

"What the hell?" Cyrus muttered, still trying to break out of his bonds, "Is this apart of the audition or something?"

"See, you'll learn to love it." They left the garden and entered the glass forest. Everything was made of colored glass from the trees to the grass to the flowers.

Leo glanced over his shoulder as he neared.

"What? No, it's not. We just had to choose an idiot, didn't we?" Jaime remarked to Simon, who laughed. "Start the chant, Simon. You're better at Latin than me."
He nodded and began talking in a low, rapid voice.

Dawn looked around in awe, "It's beautiful." she commented as her eyes started to wander.

"If only this was freaking mario cart!" he yelled, continuing to advance on him.

Cyrus felt a chill up his spine, "What are you doing? Please! Stop!" he panicked.

"This is my favorite part of the grounds," Skylar said from behind. "I have no idea how they did this."

Leo laughed, slowing down subtly to let Drake pass him up.

"Relax. It'll all be over soon," Jaime soothed as Simon continued to chant.

"It seems like someone has a lot of free time and money on their hands." she smiled.

Drake got a few feet in front of him and started to whoop, "Awwwh yeaaah!"

Cyrus shuddered as he felt something try to take over his mind, "Let me go!" he started to yell, growing desperate, "Someone! Help me!"

"Or an extreme obsession," Avan remarked with a laugh.

"OI!" Leo yelled, taking off after him again, but not fast enough to pass him.

"I'll gag you again if you keep complaining," Jaime warned.

"But I admit, it is breathtaking." She murmured.

"I'm gonna beat ya!" he grinned, seeing the finish line come into view.

But Cyrus didn't stop. He screamed in pain as the demon started to enter his body. His eyes kept flashing from black to normal as he coughed up blood.

"It really is. It looks even better at sunset."

"THERE'S STILL HOPE!" Leo shouted back but had no intention of beating him.

Jaime watched with a clinical interest. As the summoning came to an end, Jamie tilted his head, trying to determine the outcome. "Did it work?"
"You doubt me, brother?"
He smirked. "No."

"I suppose we'll have to wait and see it." she grinned.

Drake crossed the finish line, releasing a large whoop, "I won! I'm the winner! Take that!" He said, doing a little dance.

The demon opened its eyes, glancing around before looking at the brothers. He broke against the ropes and stood up, straightening his outfit, "I see you've decided to put me in a distasteful host." he frowned, crossing his arms.

"I'll bring you out here tonight then."

Leo laughed. "Is that your victory dance?"

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Best we could do," Simon said, his British accent leaking through.

"I look forward to it!" Dawn grinned, looking over at him.

"Yes, isn't it sexy?" he smirked, "How does it feel to be completely beaten!?"

"I suppose it couldn't be helped." He sighed, "Why do you want of me?"

He returned the smile. "It's a plan then."

"I have no shame. I was beating you for a while. You put up a good fight, man," he replied with a grin. He hopped out of the cart and stretched. "We should probably go get ready for the dinner."

"There's a girl here tonight that is crucial to my plan. I have her mother locked down here for Lilith to inhabit. You're in her brother's body. Your job is to lure her down here. I need her blood as well as her brother's. We'll give you a slight disguise - just enough to make her curious."

She met his eyes for a moment before looking away with a slight blush, "Should we be heading to the dinner?"

Drake grinned and nodded, "Yeah, probably, but that was such a rush!"

The demon raised an eyebrow, "Lilith, you say? Very well then, I am ready to serve."

"Yeah, we should. There's a turn right up here that'll take us back to the stable." He looked back at Skylar. "We need to head back."
"I figured."
Avan urged Nadia into a slow gallup. He took the turn and headed back to the stable.

"No kidding. We'll need a rematch later. There's one other course that we could take." He headed back up towards the house.

Jamie smiled. "Mother of demons. She'll come in handy. Come on then. Let's get you fitted up."
