XDD)

Death smiled wickedly "Still a figher I like it!" he chuckled before he headed off doing his best not to walk like his leg was hurting him but it certainly was... he couldn't walk without a slight hobble sitting on his throne made of bones while he waited for Roxie, he had the guards put him in another room where he was suspended by his wrists from a hook where his torture began both with the collar and with demons beating on him as if here were stuffed with candy.

By sunset Roxie arrived with Maxine who now had a black eye despite that however she was fighting Roxie who was practically dragging her along despite her demon strength "Knock it off girl!" Roxie shouted practically throwing Maxine onto the floor. Maxine was beyond annoyed... that is until she looked into the stone-cold eyes of Death. "Hello beautiful... I can see why Sage has taken a shine to you..." he said "Put her with Sage... let him see what he's done to both himself and to her..." he said as Roxie obliged taking her into the same room as Sage suspending her in the same manor "Sage!?" Maxine cried, by now he was hardly recognizable... "Whats going on!?" she cried "Yeah Sage whats going on?" Roxie teased before she left the demons to do their work, they immediatly began cutting and beating on her, she managed to grit her teeth through most of it until there was a violent kick to her gut that caused her to spit up blood.

In her haze Maxine saw Sage pass out "Sage!?" she cried weakly trying desperately to get her wrists out of the chains she was suspended by as she coughed up more blood. By now her wrists were bloody too... blood ran down her arms and to her overalls with so many cuts on her body it was amazing she was even still alive. Eventually after working at it for a while causing her hands and wrists to bleed even more she managed to just barely get her arms free which sent her tumbling to the floor... she went over to Sage shaking him "Sage!? Wake up!" she whispered urgently "Please..." she begged.

"I- Y-yeah I guess I did..." she said just seeming to realize what she'd done "Small hands and wrists I guess?" she said raising them though they were covered in blood. "M-maybe I can get you out of yours...?" she suggested "Then we can get the hell out of here and to a hospital..." she told him "Then you can answer my questions..." she muttered glancing up at the hook he was suspended from before looking around for something she could use to step on. Eventually she found a small wooden crate and brought it over, the wood was rotten and falling apart but she hoped it would hold her weight as she stood on her tip toes trying to at least get his arms off of the hook... if she could do that he could probably slip out of his chains too she thought... though she wasn't really thinking about an escape plan what would they do after they were freed? there werent exactly any windows in the room that they could climb out of. "I almost got it..." she assured him finally getting the chains off of the hook causing poor Sage to fall to the floor the crate she was standing on giving way from underneath her causing her to land half on Sage the two of them mere inches from eachothers faces... she found her heart pounding as she stared at him... even through her haze and his wounds she found him... handsome.

Maxine stayed there for a few moments before her cheeks grew redder underneath the blood and she leaned in just a little further her hand just grazing the (what she thought was a choker) collar around his neck her heartbeat was even more rapid now as she got closer to him but... just as fast as the moment came it was gone when Demons came in to check on them "They're loose!" one cried running over to them. Maxine was quick to grab a plank of wood from the crate that had broken and was on her feet, her adreniline and fear making her pain practically disappear as she did her best to fight off the demons "Come on Sage... I need your help here... get up!" she cried out as she was punched and spitting up blood again.

Maxine could barely see him... even the other bodies around her were a blur... the only thing she saw were their eyes... red and murderous. When she eventually only saw one standing and saw it gesture toward her she guessed it was Sage and followed behind him, as they headed for the door however something zinged passed them slamming into the wood by the door... a long curved blade at the end of a stick "Is that a Sythe!?" she cried.

"You know your weapons girl thats for sure..." Death smirked something she didn't know though was that was the only weapon known to demon kind that could not only reap a soul... but kill a demon as well. "Come now Sage... you didn't think it'd be that easy did you?" he asked raising a brow calling his precious blade back to him.
