"Annalise....Annalise...." the whisper came like a snake, taunting her from every direction. Annalise could not get away. Fleeing would do her no good. This was her job as coven leader, one of many, and she couldn't seem to get it together and get Roan out of her head.

"What do you want?" In the real world, there in the woods, secluded from the rest of the coven, she would be talking to herself. At least, she would appear to be, but Hyacinthe would be the only onlooker. In her head, though, her mind linked to the prison holding an unknown number of criminals the Olympia coven had locked away in their own inescapable dimension. Roan was speaking to her. He was trying to get to her, so he could get out. Hyacinthe had warned her he had been particularly brutal compared to any of the others she had to subdue when taking over, and she wasn't joking.

Annalise had seen and heard little from most of the other residents, though there were two that occasionally got brave enough to join in with Roan’s attempted escapes. They didn't have the power over her that he did, though. There was a direct blood link between the two of them, and he was the newest prisoner. His determination had not faded into despair or acceptance yet.

"You know what I want, and you know I deserve it," Roan told her in that same serpentine tone. "You're just a little girl who never wanted any of this. Leave, leave and never come back. No harm will come to Diane or Hyacinthe if you let me have the rest." His offer was ridiculous. He was still trying to become the leader of the coven, even from the magical prison dimension. How had no one ever noticed how insane this man was?

"I will not give into you!" Annalise assured him, through gritted teeth. Her hands flew to the sides of her head as if she could keep him in line that way.

“Oh, but you will. You are not prepared for this, and I am so much stronger. Would you like me to show you how strong I am?” he asked her, taunting her as he began to shake the cage he was in and scream. It reminded her of the thought of a real prison where the craziest and worst of humans spit on people and generally lost their minds. The problem was, his mind was not at all lost. It was still there, going strong.

His screams hurt, and so did the shaking. It was like her brain was experiencing an earthquake, and she could hardly feel the damp earth beneath her feet, to prove that she was on the mortal plane, nowhere near this created world for the worst of the offenders in the coven’s history. She was beginning to question why Roan had not just been executed. Mercy seemed like cruel self-punishment.

Annalise screamed and screamed, clawing at her head with the sensations. Somewhere far off, she could hear Hyacinthe, chastising her.
