The Catacombs, Tartarus - Saturday

[fh_beasties]

Each person brought to the catacombs found themselves trapped in a cavern with seemingly no exit. It was cold and lighting was limited and even their own breathing would echo off the walls. The Nightmares were lurking, waiting for fresh minds to taste, to inhale the scent of fear and panic

Sadly, Gwen's demon hadn't stuck around long enough after it cut her wrists and ankles free for her to kick it again, so instead she was rubbing her wrists as she looked around.

She had a very bad feeling about this.

After a while, Gwen sat down against the cavern wall, wanting to be anywhere else.

She got her wish.

Harriet sank down once Hades left, leaning against a nearby wall while she regrouped. It was cold down here, so very cold, and it seemed to sink into her bones.

She'd just sit for a bit, and try and remember everything she'd ever learned about Hades - both of them - and exactly how one escaped the Underworld.

[idontlooktired]

But there was no escape, not from the Underworld, not from the nightmares that smothered her.

Deep in the depths of her own personal hell, one that dwarfed the cavernous underground surrounding her, Harriet whimpered.

Fraser was staring at the ceiling. It wasn't the sky of Fandom like he'd hoped. Instead, it was dark and cold.

That had not gone well.

He pushed himself into a sitting position, looking for any sign of the demon that had just been in front of him. All he saw were walls. Just walls.

Oh dear.

[just_add_starch]

And it doesn't take long for the bad things to start.

Fraser's breathing quickened and he scrabbled at a nearby wall in an attempt to free himself. It didn't work and then he didn't see anything else save for his fears.

And they kept coming.

After that one, Fraser's eyes were hurting from keeping them shut so tightly. He managed to take his jacket off with shaking hands and cover himself with it.

If he could just keep his eyes open...

[just_add_starch]

He was barely aware of the real world now.

It was still dark when he peeled his eyes open. Dark and cold. How long had he been here?

He didn't make any noise. He wouldn't.

Zuko scrambled to his feet as soon as the demon dumped him in the cave. He tried to go after it, but there were only walls surrounding him and how did that work?

He lit a flame on his palm, using it to light up the walls around him and look for cracks or oddities on their surface that might indicate a hidden door. He found none and for the first time he wished he had some of those explosives Aly used in her classes.

Annoyed, he hit a flame at the wall and he watched the fire move uselessly across the surface. With an angry growl, he sat down on the damp, cold ground and he scowled at the stone ahead of him.

They had to feed him, right?

[thebluespirit]

No one did come to feed him, but any plans to escape had fled his mind. All that was left were images he couldn't fight off.

[imcalledandros]

Andros was not very happy as he tried to find a way out of wherever it was that he had been taken to but despite how hard he tried he saw no escape route.

He sighed and leant back against one of the walls, trying to ignore the throbbing in his head from where the demon had struck it.

He had to find a way out.

[imcalledandros]

It wasn't long before the nightmares came. Andros sank to the floor, curling up into a fetal position as the nightmares started to get worse and worse.
