Night 43: F-A Block Hallway

Beatrix did not pause as she passed through the junction of the prisoner hallways. She was alert for snakes in the grass, so to speak, but she had a feeling the day that bitch decided to take her revenge she wouldn't be subtle about it. As it was, the Bride had let her be far too long. Tonight would be the first step toward her desired outcome.

She was getting flashbacks from her first night here already. Empty hallways, boring company, and nothing to do. This basement Sync was dragging her to better have been made of solid gold or gave her a chance to escape. Otherwise, him and his not-girlfriend were being disposed of like the trash they were.

She turned back to face their new guest, all uncomfortable smiles after that little blunder. "So... how do you and Sy know each other? You must be very good friends!"

That act of Sync's would have gotten Anise fuming again, if she wasn't trying to keep up a good front. When Sync turned to leave, Anise turned too, scowling at the boy during the short time she had her back turned to Dahlia. Once the other girl started to catch up, she tried to relax and put on a normal, cute face again for her.

The girl perked up when she was asked a question, and tried not to wince at the good friends bit. "Um, well, we kind of grew up in the same place," she offered casually in response, glancing at Sync. She wasn't sure how much was safe to say in front of Dahlia, so she left an opening for Sync to add whatever he wanted. Hopefully he wouldn't be able to turn that into some embarrassing lie, too.

If Sync had caught Anise's scowl he would've gladly matched it with his own sneer, but instead the replica was all smiles as they continued down the hall. He had slowed down some so Dahlia could catch up, but it wasn't long before he picked up his pace again. The last thing he needed was for a bunch of idiots to make it to the basement before them.

It was somewhat surprising that Anise would be the first to answer, but she was smart enough to leave out any questionable details.

"Both of us lived in a religious town so it was pretty strict," Sync continued on after Anise's explanation.

"Life was pretty tough back then, huh?" He laughed. "I guess kids like us had to stick together."
