"No, I don't know. Because it never happened. Ricardo, are you sure those animals didn't do something to you?" Vincent shifted his weight from foot to foot. Well...all of this Ricardo fancying him thing was certainly news. It was good news, but it still came as somewhat of a surprise. Vincent decided not to comment though. Not yet.

"I'm sure," he mumbled, crossing his arms. "What if they did something to you? You were the one kidnapped and dragged away, after all." Why isn't he commenting on the fancying him thing yet? What is he thinking about it? Is he going to reject me again? God no, I really don't think I could go through that.

Vincent sighed. "I don't know... All I know is that I wouldn't do something like that." He left the subject of his sentence vague, but he was sure Ricardo knew what he was talking about. The thing that had never happened.

Ricardo was silent, staring at him hard for a minute before he spoke. When he did, the tone of his voice was much softer. "Then... What is that memory, then?"

"I'm as clueless as you are," Vincent replied with a shrug. He dared to take a step closer to Ricardo. "Look, if I did do something, I'm sorry."

"I... Look, it's fine," Ricardo mumbled, scratching the back of his head absentmindedly. "It's not as if you have to return my feelings anyway. I'd never try to force you into something you're not comfortable with, especially not a relationship..."

"You really don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you?" Vincent risked a smile, leaning forward to press a kiss to Ricardo's cheek, his own face burning scarlet. "Now let's find a way out of here."

Ricardo felt his face burn as he stared at Vincent, dumbfounded. "Yeah... A... A way out of here."

Vincent fiddled with his robes nervously. I can't believe I just did that... "A-Alright then. Let's see... Which way should we go?" They were at a fork, one tunnel leading off to the left, the other to the right. "The one on the left looks like it has an upwards incline, so..."

"That makes sense," Ricardo murmured quietly, climbing into the tunnel. What just happened?

Vincent climbed up after him in silence, not really wanting to think about what he'd just done. I can't believe I would embarrass myself like that. Instead, he tried to focus on avoiding roots and rocks. Anything other than Ricardo.

She walked through the dusky land for what felt like hours, growing more tired with each step. The birchwood had fallen off long ago, and she hugged herself with her right arm, unable to block out the persistent whispers of the dark. The witch distractedly called out every once in a while, little "hello?"s and "is anyone around?"s.
Fear ate at the back of her foggy mind.

Ricardo crawled through the space, which was starting to grow tighter and tighter. What did he mean by kissing me on the cheek? He hasn't said anything... Does he return my feelings? Or maybe he did it out of pity... "I think I see something at the end of the tunnel."

Vincent's heart leapt. "What is it? Is it light?" He tried to peek around Ricardo, hoping to just maybe catch a glimpse of their freedom.

"I think it is!" Ricardo wriggled through the tunnel faster, pushing aside clumps of dirt and oversized roots as he approached the hopeful white light.

Vincent crawled after him as fast as his sore limbs would allow, eager to see green trees and bright sunlight again.

Ricardo finally managed to crawl out, landing on the ground in a dusty burst of dirt and rocks. But this wasn't the Forbidden Forest, or even Hogwarts. The tunnel had emptied onto silvery white tiles in a perfectly white room. There seemed to be no escape, only thousands of tiny holes pricked into each impossibly smooth wall. "What...?"

Vincent wanted to cry. Just when he thought they'd had a chance, the hope was dashed, stripped away. "What is this place? And more importantly, why would an animal burrow lead here?"

(oh god poor dear sweet vincent and ricardo)
The witch closed her eyes. There was no use keeping them open, really, when she couldn't see her own hand two inches from her face. She stumbled, drowsy, and her memories began to slip. What she'd been doing before the chaos began, her suspicions, and the words that enacted her spells. The memory of Venus began to slip as well, until all she could remember was the darkness before her.
The whispers grew louder, and this time she was sure she felt something brush against her.

"Maybe if we go back, we..." Ricardo turned around, voice trailing away. The tunnel was gone, another punctured white wall in it's place. Eyes wide, he ran his hands along the length of it until he suddenly flinched back. Needles, silver and dangerously sharp, had suddenly slipped out of the tiny holes, surrounding them both.
