Vincent jumped. "What is this, some kind of torture room?" His voice trembled, threatening to break. "How did we even get here? This makes no sense at all and now our only way out is gone and were trapped here and we're going to get impaled because the walls will probably start closing in on us!" he rambled, taking a shaky gasp of air once all the words were out.

Tessa broke the surface of the water at last, gulping in breaths of the sea air. She could taste the obtrusive tang of salt on her lips, and her eyes stung as she struggled to open them. When she did manage to get a glimpse of her surroundings, she wished she hadn't; all around her the waves stretched on for an eternity, and the dark, cloud-filled sky above gave her no indication as to where she was. Her arms ached as she fought to keep her head above the water.

Ricardo put his hands on Vincent's shoulders, staring the other in the eye. "Vincent. Hey. We need to remain calm. There has to be a way out of here. We just have to find it." An icy hand twisted his stomach as the walls rumbled briefly, beginning a silent procession towards the two. "Fast. We have to find it fast."

"But where would a exit be in here, unless it's hidden?" Vincent said, comforted somewhat by Ricardo's gesture. "We don't have time to push every single tile in this room, trying to find some secret passageway."

"Then we have to make an exit. Somehow." Ricardo looked around, trying to think beyond the confines of the fear that was threatening to overtake him. "Whoever created this room. What would they expect us to do?"

Vincent sighed, eyes darting nervously towards the spiked walls. "I don't know. If the person expected us to make an exit at all, maybe it would be most predictable to dig a tunnel."

"This floor seems way too hard to dig into," Ricardo muttered, knocking his fist on it. "Isn't hollow, either."

"Say that to the criminals who've dug through concrete. Granted, it took them years, but... Anyway, I don't see any other ways someone could escape. It's just a box."

The witch walked, head bobbing, until she could go no longer.
Terror consumed her as she fell. The moment she hit the ground, it immersed her like some childhood nightmare of quicksand. She screeched and cast a storm of spells: Light spells, slicing spells, explosions, and shining shields filled the air, but they did nothing to free her. The witch struggled to escape, losing strength quickly.
The whispers in the air became yells and shrieks.

"Maybe it just needs some sort of blood sacrifice or something," Ricardo said, leaning his finger towards one of the needles. "I read somewhere about rooms doors that need blood to open."

Vincent winced. "I guess you could try... But what if those things have poison or something on them?" He shuffled away from the needles carefully, trying to pick out any differences in the pattern of the wall.

"Poisoned or not, we need to try or we'll just die anyway." Ricardo prodded one of his fingers to a needle, drawing it away quickly as a scarlet drop formed on the tip.

"There's probably somewhere specific you have to put the blood..." Vincent commented, still gazing at the tiled surface for any differences. Flaws, perhaps. There had to be something that could at least give him some sort of a clue.

Ricardo looked around frantically. The space was starting to become much smaller, forcing him to stand back-to-back with Vincent. "What if blood isn't the answer?" His voice broke slightly at the end of the sentence, hands trembling.

"I—I don't know..." Vincent replied shakily. He reached for Ricardo's hand, gripping it tightly so he wouldn't have a chance to pull away this time. "Maybe try smearing it on the walls and floor, just in case..." He paused, eyes narrowing. "Wait. Try there," he said, pointing to a tile on the floor.

Ricardo nodded shakily, holding his hand over the tile. It was difficult to keep his hand from shaking, but the drop of scarlet managed to find itself splashing onto the white tile. "Nothing's happening!"

Vincent fidgeted. "I dunno! Give it a minute!" He held his breath as he watched the tile diligently, silently praying for something to happen. In frustration, he stomped on the square violently, causing the floor to shake uncontrollably.

The needles were all around them, just starting to approach the tip of Ricardo's nose when the floor began to crack and shudder. "What did you--" The words ended in an abrupt gasp as the tiles gave out under them, sending both Gryffindors falling into the darkness below.

Vincent let out a yell, grabbing at Ricardo's clothes as they fell until he could cling tightly to the Gryffindor. He shut his eyes tightly, waiting to hit the bottom of whatever pit they'd fallen into. At least this method of dying would probably be faster. But Vincent never felt the sudden shock of their bodies hitting a hard surface. They just kept falling.
