Nico climbed the wall to the only window on that side. He looked in: there was a rumpled bed, a wardrobe with female clothes hanging out, and a desk with stubs of incense and smelling candles. Hazel, Nico thought excitedly, though Hazel was nowhere to be seen. Nico pushed the window open and climbed in. "Hazel?" he called softly. No answer.

Hazel was halfway through the test. Azazel was fighting against her. He was fighting her with an iron sword. Halfway through the battle, Hazel melted his sword and he had to fight her with his hands. He suffered many injuries but never seemed to weaken or tire. finally, Hazel started to burn his hair and he called the battle to a close. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tqzJcDKd9
Hazel was lead back to her room and left alone and incense-less. Her head wasn't dizzy now, or clear. She was filled with worry now. She couldn't sleep, either. She sat on the edge of her bed, sobbing. How had she let herself get caught in this and not fight back? She hadn't even thought about her family except for the dreams.
There was a sound at the corner of the large room and Hazel jumped.
"H-hello?" Hazel said.
"Hazel!" a male voice cried. He ran toward Hazel and hugged her.
"Nico! Nico, you found me!" she whispered.
"Hazel, sister, we have to get out. Why haven't you tried to escape?"
"I think they drugged me. But-"
There was a sound outside and Nico ran and hid. Azazel came into the room.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqN5WPKdTo
"Hello, Doll Face," Azazel said and Hazel sniffed. "How're you feeling?"285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRe2ysioDl
"Well enough," Hazel said. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtHcaN8WIE
"Did I tire you?"285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wn2ir6R1S
Hazel didn't respond. Azazel smacked her. Hazel's face stayed still as stone. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4NMQIxvJN
"Answer me," Azazel said calmly. Hazel still didn't answer, and he hit her harder with his fist. Hazel didn't flinch.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCbSTr9uIC
"Fine, then. We'll skip the small talk," Azazel said and shoved Hazel into a lying position. He growled something about incense and tore her dress. Hazel punch and hit at him but it was like hitting a brick wall. Azazel took his clothes off and pinned her down.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0OixwEQX9

Nico was fuming with anger. Nobody could treat his sister like that! But he didn't show himself or his sister couldn't be saved. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9fiLSUOZP
Nico just stared at the wall. He knew Hazel would hate him for not saving her, but he couldn't. It would be suicide, or worse. He just swallowed and covered his ears and shut his eyes. He hated himself for being unable to save his sister.
