A prison

[Lord Peace]

Lord Peace's Keep: LAB

Peace stepped through the halls of his keep until he came to the room which held his lab. He slowly opened the door, so he wouldn't drop the rope that bound Rose's hands together, then pushed her inside.
The lab wa a dark room, and no place for a flower, much less a flower maiden to get enough sunlight, and moonlight.
Peace led Rose to a tall cube filled with bubbly chemicals and green water. he led her up the stairs until they were at the top, and over-looking it like they were ona diving board at the local smiwwing pool.
"Dive in." Peace ordered, "This is your only source of food. I suggest you take it, otherwise you will wither away and die like your relatives." Peace smiled at the last part, and untied the ropes bounding her wrists - but made sure to keep a hold of her until she entered the pool below.

[Rose]

Rose looked causiously over the edge of the tall cube. She peered into the greenish liquid. No. she thought. Rose. Will. Not. But then Rose thought of a plan, and she hoped it would work. She held one foot over the ledge, about to jump. But then she looked down at her hands, where the man was still holding them. She gave him a signal that she wanted him to let go before she jumped in.

[Lord Peace]

Peace let go of her hands, but got himself ready for any tricks the white haired maiden might pull.
Quietly, he changed into the form of a European wolf, his huge fangs were bared and dangerous.

[Rose]

"Thank. You." Rose said. She noticed he had turned into a wolf. His fangs were dangerous. If this plan didn't woork, and he caught her, she might be killed. She turned around, towards the pool of green, and held out one foot to jump in. Then she jumped. But she didn't land in the liquid. She landed on the ground gracefully and ran for the door.

[Lord Peace]

Lord Peace snarled, and leapt after her.
He ran at her side, jaws snapping and paws barely touching the ground.
Then he jumped straight at the door and placed himself between Rose, and her way to freedom.
"It will be no use to escape." He lips were drawn back in a evil smile, "I have guards around the whole keep. Even if you do slip past them, you do not want to know what my teeth can do to." He took a small step forward, "Now, get back to the Pool. And get in." He growled.

[Rose]

Rose stopped in her tracks. She looked down at her wrist where he had bitten her. Then she looked around the lab, trying to find another exit. There were no windows. The only exit was the door. She was daring to take a risk. Rose ran towards the wolf. She made an attempt to jump over him, to get to the door. To be free.

[Lord Peace]

Peace snarled, and jumped onto his back paws. He snapped his jaws in the air, hopefully clamping them down on the Maiden's leg.
"Bad idea!" He howled.

[Rose]

Rose screamed in pain as the wolf clamped his jaws down on her leg. She started to cry tears of pain. Her leg was now oozing green blood.

[Lord Peace]

Peace's eyes glowed with pleasure at the smell of blood. He quickly tossed the Flower Maiden to the ground before changing back into his human form.
Lord Peace pulled the girl back to her feet, and kept a tight hold on her.
"Trust me," He looked at her, drawing his sword, "You'll be much safer in the pool. If you go to long without moon, sunlight or water, you will wilt." Suddenly, his expression changed, "On second thought, go ahead and stay in the dark." He laughed, and began leading Rose back to the platform that overlooked the "pool".

[Rose]

Rose stumbled towards the 'pool', the wolf, now a man, holding her tightly. Blood followed behind them as they walked onward. Tears fell from the Flower Maidens' face.

[Lord Peace]

"Oh stop crying." Peace snapped, and continued walking, "it's not like I killed you," Then he added quietly, "..yet..."
By this time, the two had reached the top of the platform.
"Get in. Or I will push you in." Peace growled, "And no funny business this time, unless you want to know what it feels like to have wolf teeth tearing through your flesh."

[Rose]

Rose looked down into the water. Rose. Do. Not. Want. she thought, even though she had no choice. The man had won and there was no use fighting now. She edged a bit closer to the edge.

[Lord Peace]

A small light sparkled in Peace's eyes. He took a small step forward and grabbed Rose's shoulders then pushed her forward into the pool below.
Lord Peace stood tall and proud, although trying to hide his laughter.

[Rose]

Rose gasped as the man pushed her. She fell towards the green liquid, into the pool, with a splash. She tried to swim back up to the top. But she couldn't. She was sinking! She opened her mouth for air. But all she got back was water. She choked.

[Lord Peace]

"You will be fine, in there." Lord Peace stated as he walked down the stairs of the platform. He pressed some buttons on a computer keyboard, and suddenly, bubbles began to form in the pool. Peace was draining some water to make the pool shallower. Once the pool was about 11 feet deep, Lord Peace pushed another button. This time, a chair-like object appeared in the pool. Its' feet were nailed to the ground.
"Sit in the chair, and you will not drown." the noble growled, then pushed yet another button. This time, a sliding door moved across the cover of the pool. It was almost like a cage.

[Rose]

Rose looked up to see she was being caged in. Then she looked down. A chair was waiting at the bottom. She didn't trust it. As she sank to the bottom, she moved herself away from the chair, landing on the bottom of the pool.

[Lord Peace]

"Suite yourself." the noble laughed, "But you would be safer on the stool." he turned, walked to a computer in his lab. He sat in the chair, and began to collect data about the Flower Maiden.

[Rose]

Rose sat crossed-legged at the bottom of the tank. She noticed that she could breath down here. So she relaxed. She suddenly felt tired. From all the days' events she had been tired out. She layed down on the bottom and slowly closed her eyes.

[Lord Peace]

As the Maiden slept, Peace was able to use the chemicals in the to collect data about her. The chemicals in the water, had in fact sent her into a state of rest. She would, howver, wake up the very next day when the amount of chemicals ran out and Lord Peace would have to restok the "filters".

[Rose]

Rose slept peacefully, not knowing that she was being 'observed' and that data was being collected from her.
