Magnus: The room, dark as night, the laughter fading into silence for a few eerie seconds, giving Skylar just enough time to let her rage turn back into panic before she would feel a hand cup over her mouth, another wrap around her upper chest, pinning her arms to her sides. Magnus quickly pulled her off to a corner of the room, pressing his foot down on a raised brick on the floor to open a hidden door behind the throne. "Shh, quit struggling you dumb bitch." He snaps, clasping his hand harder over his mouth as she's dragged through the doorway, hearing the sound of it quickly shutting behind them. He couldnt help but let his arm brush against her breasts a few times, silently savoring the struggle as he pulled her into the dark passage.

Skylar: The pup looked around frantically though it did little good in the absolute darkness that overtook the large room. "H-haze...? W-what-HMMFF!" She gasps, her voice muffled as she's grabbed and quickly shuffled away, unable to properly resist or get her footing as the tiger pushes her into the darkness.

It was hard to tell what was going on but she could notice the subtle change of space as the sound of her muffled complaints altered from echoeing in the large chamber to that of a confined space. She squirmed in his grasp, confused, trying to pull her arms free, push him off with an elbow, anything. 

Magnus: After dragging her a ways, Magnus stops, his grip held tight on Skylar. "Shut the fuck up already! I'm trying to help you." He waits a moment before releasing her. The room was still very dark, the two barely able to make out eachothers shapes in the darkness. The tiger stood with arms crossed looking over towards Skylar. "Listen to me. We don't have a lot of time and I have to talk fast. This is the part where you were supposed to be eliminated. They have me held hostage outside of the game and told me I had to kill you in a really fucked up way before they would let me go. I was going to do it, but I like ya, so I'm going to help you instead as a big fuck-you to these pricks." He let the information sink in for a moment. 

"They don't know were in here, this wasn't part of the plan and they probably can't hear us but I don't know how long we have. I'm going to play it off as shaking up the script a bit to keep them interested and unaware. I know how to get you out of here. I just need you to trust me."

Skylar: Once released she takes a few steps forward and turns around defensively, holding position for the moment as Magnus explains the situation. Her breathing is rapid and intense, so much action had happened in the past few minutes the poor pup was overwhelmed and anxious. "Y-you were g-going to...?" She asks, pausing as the tiger continues. She stands there intensely, unsure of what to believe at this point.

"I... tell me more. H-how do I know I can trust you?" she asks, knowing whatever answer she may get likely won't be any more believable than anything else said up to this point.

Magnus: The tiger lets out a loud sigh, rolling his head back and shaking it. "Why the fuck would I bother dragging you in here to tell you this when I already had you dead to rights? Besides, what other option do you have? Did you think about that?" 

"At the other end of this hall there is a foyer. To the left of that is the torture room they wanted me to take you to, but on the other end is a door that leads to an unfinished part of the level. If you enter, theres a very good chance the game will crash. Once that happens you should theoretically be home free. Theres a big chance that this doesn't work, but the way I see it it's the only shot you have at getting out of this."

Skylar: The pup shivers in place as Magnus explains his plan, a newfound look of hope taking over her visage, though it wasn't very visible in the current state of the dark tunnel. "W-why would you do this for me? What about you Haze? You're going to come with me?" She asks nervously, her voice trembling. "What happens if it doesn't work?"

Magnus: He sighs, putting his hands on his hips. "Because I think you're cute, okay? And besides, I'm not the kind of person to let stupid fucks tell me what to do." He smiles, a big cocky grin as he walks towards Skylar. 

"My names not Haze either, it's Magnus. Now lets go." Grabbing her wrist and tugging her along down the hallway, little bits of light peeking through the wall at the end. "Once we're out here we need to make it look convincing. Put up a struggle, but nothing too crazy. I'm going to walk you towards the left, then we're gonna make a fucking break for it, got it?"

Skylar: The pup lets out an "eep!" as she's grabbed, resisting a bit at first but allowing herself to be pulled along. "A-ah.. w-wait!" She says, though not offering any further resistance as she's pulled. "H-how do you know about all of this?" Theres a bit of trepidation in her voice, the poor thing had been abused and tricked enough to be a tad suspicious, and Magnus could feel a bit of grip and tug as they walked, hands held, regardless if it was intentional or not to be doing so.

Magnus: His grip tightened around her soft paw letting out a few growls of frustration. "Stop asking so many damn questions! If you don't believe me you can try your luck by yourself and see how far that gets you, end up giving all of those bastards the show they wanted."

They make it to the end of the hall where the cracks in the wall are just wide enough to make out the general shape of the room ahead. The tiger boy takes a deep breath, making sure his axe is on his back and ready to go should he need it. "This is it. For what its worth I'm sorry you had to go through all of this and I'm sorry I tricked you. I know you don't have much reason to trust me but I'm glad you did." He reaches his hand to the wall and touches it, the wall raising in the secret-door fashion similar to the last, revealing the room ahead. No one was inside. To the left was the ominous double wooden door afixed with a beastial engraving, to the right a table with some chairs and minor decorations, and across the other side of the room was the door he mentioned; the one to Skylar's potential freedom.

Skylar: Skylar stood in place, emotions intense across her face as Magnus spoke his last piece before opening the door. She moved in and put a hand on the tiger's shoulder, leaning down and pressing her lips to his, her eyes closed, tears running down her cheeks as she embraced him for a brief moment.

As they parted, she looked to him with a slightly reddened face. "Thank you." She said, in her usual squeaky tone. She looked inside of the room and it was just as Magnus described. She looked to him to make the first move.

Magnus: He looked around the room one last time before turning around just in time to be kissed by Skylar. What initially started as a fated betrayal had completely turned around. In this moment, the beastial desires that filled his head, all of his animal instincts to hunt, kill, harm... it all vanished, replaced by a sudden warmth and desire to protect someone other than himself. Once the kiss was over, Magnus looked into Skylar's eyes with a shared knowing look and smiled, not the cocky arrogant villainous smile one would expect but a genuine one.

"Don't thank me yet. Come here, quick." He says, taking her wrist and pulling her back into the pose the pair had prior to entering the tunnel with his hand over her mouth, acting as if keeping her subdued. The pair stepped into the room and Magnus looked around for any sign of being surveyed. Sure enough, one of the in game camera's happened to catch a glimpse of them and begin following prompting the tiger to put on his best act, tightening his grip on Skylar although gentle enough to let her know he wasn't going to betray her.

Skylar: Skylar jumped as she was grabbed, Magnus quickly resuming his capture-style postion around her. Her heart raced but she trusted him. As the pair walked out, she too noticed the camera, her big eyes focusing on it for a brief moment before forcing herself to look away.

She put up some light struggles, trying to maintain the illusion they were going for. To what effectiveness remained to be seen. Her eyes looked around the room, toward the ominous door to the left which sent a chill down her spine, the prospect of her being forced in there wasn't something she was willing to completely accept wasn't a possibility at this point, but she kept walking, hoping that her faith in the other cub would pay off.

Magnus: Step after step echoe'd throughout the silent room. From an on-looker point of view it was very clear that the room hadn't been prepared for such use and there was a distinct lack of well, everything. The tiger marched Skylar toward the entrance of the door and paused, taking a deep breath. He looked to the left, the ability to sate all of his primal desires just behind that grim wooden door... all he had to do was lead her inside and it could be his... the delightful screams, the euphoric rush... 

He turned to the door, leading Skylar in front, placing his hand upon it. "This is where you meet your end, bitch." He says loudly, leaning in as if to shove her forward. With his face next to hers he says "Now." in a hushed tone releasing her and Immediately making a dead sprint for the far door.

Skylar: As the two approached the door, the pup felt a knot welling in her stomach. The closer they got, the more unsettled she became. Seeing his hand on the door, staring in slow motion with her wide opened eyes. The look of fear on her face was genuine as he made his loud declaration. Was this it? Did he really go through all of this just to build up the moment of betrayal? It wasn't until he leaned in close and gave the order to run that she snapped out of it.

Magnus got a head start as she stood stunned for a moment, but she took off after him, running as fast as her lengthy legs could carry her towards that door.

Magnus: "RUN YOU IDIOT" he yells back to Skylar while she stands in place. The tiger sprinted toward the door, intent on kicking the thing open and throwing Skylar and himself inside.
Clearly the minds behind this event didn't leave this gap completely exposed, as a shadowy ghost-like figure spawned from the ground in front of the door as they approached.

"Shit!" Magnus stopped and drew his axe, motioning for Skylar to stop. "Looks like we have one more asshole to take care of." He says, gripping the axe tightly, his wicked grin spreading across his fanged maw. He looks over to Skylar, noticing she didn't have time to grab the bow before everything kicked off. "I'll keep him busy, get the door open! Now!" Magnus charges, bringing the axe down on the head of the grim-reaper looking figure, the shadows parting around it like a knife through butter.

Skylar: Her heart races as the figure appears, freezing in place for a moment as Magnus engages it. There was no time to hesitate or this could all be for nothing. Watching the tiger boy split the figure in two, she feels a bit more confidence. The scared pup takes a wide birth around the creature, making it to the door in a few seconds. 

She twists the knob but it doesn't budge. After a few stressful seconds she kicks the door as hard as she can. (Up to you to decide how effective this is >w>)

Magnus: The door breaks off of the hinges as a dull thudding sound resonates through the room. It doesn't fly open however instead the door just seems to vanish from existance the moment it's broken. On the otherside through the now empty door frame is an endless expanse of pure white, nothing inside, no colors, nothing.

 His axe goes through the monster and plants into the floor beneath with little effort. The ghostly figure doesn't reform fully but instead forms into grasping tendrils that leash around the tiger's arms, pulling him in as he tries to recover from the swing.

"Hgrr! Fucking thing! Let go!" He yells, trying to pull free but more tendrils form and start to wrap around his legs and torso. He swings the axe around, making little ground as he's slowly restrained. He looks to Skylar angry and determined "GO. GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE."

Skylar: She takes a step back, not expecting the ocean of white nothingness that was waiting on the other side of the door. Hearing Magnus's sounds of stress she turns around and looks in horror to see the boy wrapped up in the creature. "Magnus!" She yells, turning to run towards him. "NO! I won't leave you!" She screams, tears falling from her face as she charges the monster.

Magnus: "STOP RIGHT FUCKING NOW. I SAID GO. YOU CAN'T FIGHT THIS THING IF YOU TOUCH IT WE WILL BOTH DIE AND THIS WILL BE FOR NOTHING." He looks to her as intense as he can possibly be, resisting as best he can but its clear theres no escape for him at this point.

"You need to survive! Think of everyone else who still needs help. I came into this with every intent of betraying and killing you... Leave me." He says, losing grip of the axe fully.

"Please... go... now...  before it's too late.."

Skylar: She pauses, hesitating for a moment before turning back to the door. She know's hes right, but her heart weighs heavy in this moment. She runs for the door, pausing in the doorway and turning around to look one last time. "I... I will find a way to save you... and all of the others, I promise..!" She yells before jumping inside to a destination unknown. "I love y-" Her speech is cut off as she presumably poofs out of this plane of the game.

Magnus: He cracks one more cocky grin as she jumps inside. Though he may die here at least he didn't let his captors have their way, and hopefully Skylar would escape and find some way to bring an end to all of this. Although he didn't have time to say it back, nor would it be a guarantee he did, the feeling was mutual, and for it was worth a warrior in a fantasy setting couldn't ask for a better end.
