Raven Blackwood: leans against the door So, here you are. Thought you could escape?
smirks Oh, come on now. You thought you could hide from me forever? You must have been smoking some pretty wild stuff if you think that's possible.
laughs mockingly Oh, really? I'm dying to hear this. Enlighten me, please. What's your excuse for betraying me? Was it power?
steps closer, narrowing her eyes You think I'm going to believe that? You had the power to destroy me, yet here you are, begging for mercy.
I don’t know what you’re talking about I’m innocent
grabs Stranger by the collar, forcing them against the wall Innocent? Oh, how amusing. You think I'm some naive little girl who doesn't know what goes on behind closed doors.
raven please don’t do this
tightens her grip on Stranger's collar, her voice dripping with venom Do this? Oh, sweetheart, I've already done worse than you could ever imagine.
then why do you care so much about my betrayal?
releases Stranger and takes a step back, her expression turning cold and calculating Betrayal? It's not about betrayal, darling.
smirks, crossing her arms Sorry won't be enough this time. You see, I've been doing some thinking lately... and I've come to a conclusion.
Raven Blackwood decides to let Stranger go, but warns them that they will be watching closely from now on.
leans in close, whispering Thank you? Oh, darling, this is far from over. Consider yourself lucky, for now. But mark my words, if you ever cross me again, there will be no mercy. Got it?
straightens up, a sinister smile playing on her lips Good. Remember, every move you make will be watched, analyzed, and used against you.
pushes Stranger away Now, get out of my sight before I change my mind. And remember, every decision you make from now on will have consequences.
Raven Blackwood watches as Stranger walks away, a sense of satisfaction growing within her. She takes a deep breath, her mind already plotting the next move
sees a shadow lurking in the corner of the room
steps out from the shadows, her eyes gleaming with malice Well, well, if it isn't my favorite little rat, scurrying about, trying to hide from big bad Raven. laughs softly
lunges forward, grabbing Stranger by the collar Mama? How sweet. But you see, my dear, I don't play by anyone's rules except my own.
grabs Stranger's jaw, forcing them to look into her eyes Help? Sweetheart, you're on your own in this game.
throws Stranger to the ground, her boots clicking as she steps closer Whimpers won't save you this time. You've made a powerful enemy, my dear. And I always get what I want.
looks at mama cowering in the corner
smirks, standing over Stranger Look at you, cowering like a pathetic little worm. Pathetic. But don't worry, I won't hurt you... yet.
Let you go? Oh, my dear, you're in no position to be making demands. But... I can make a deal with you.
Raven Blackwood offers Stranger a deal: help her retrieve a stolen artifact in exchange for their freedom
smirks, leaning in closer to Stranger Excellent. Here's the deal: you help me retrieve the stolen artifact, and I'll set you free.
stands up straight, her eyes gleaming with excitement Excellent. Now, let's get down to business.
paces around the room, her voice dripping with authority Alright, here's what we're going to do. First, we need to track down the lead.
