Amber stood in a room filled with mirrors. From top to bottom, alongside the walls. It was almost like being inside a ballroom, except with only herself looking back whilst she sat on her poster bed in thought. Another year. Another day. Another step. She sighed, watching herself a moment longer before snapping her fingers. The room suddenly becoming dimmed as the mirrors were draped over with satin black sheets to cover their surface. Her reflection lost, before turning back to change. Losing a piece of herself once again, however necessary it may have been. , watching the blank faced mirrors which showed only her reflection. No matter how many times she looked, hers was the scariest image her mind could have created.
It was always blank.

The door creaked open as Macleod entered "Amber? Are you awake?" he asked as a grotesque creature, bent double due to the chains binging it which emerged from a hole in it's chest, stumbled towards him, he struck it and it dissappearred as the door closed behind him "Amber?"

Amber jumped, clutching at her heart as she heard the sounds of Macleod enter. She sighed, recognizing by now the routine tug at her magic. With that she stepped out to greet him. “Hello there Robbie.” She beckoned towards him, wincing slightly at the wave of dizziness she felt when she struggled with her powers. “What brings you to my jail cell on such a lovely day?” She joked lightly, giving him once of her brilliant smiles as she stumbled closer.

Macleod dashed forward and caught hher, he held for a second before putting her on her bed "I get worried about you being exposed to others... it seems this years students want to get in here..." then gazed at her "Also, i got worried about you.."

For a moment Amber glared hatefully at him for a moment, distrustfully. Her logical mind knew he had reason to doubt her control, but her instincts told her to let loose and allow the terrors she could evoke to have way with him. She shook her head, trying to clear herself of such thoughts. “I know you do...” She said, propping herself back until she was face to face with him. “You know, it might help if you stopped calling this place the red door room.” She spoke, allowing her more teasing tone to slip. “For all you know they think you have a brothel in here.” She smirked, then huffed and turned away as she stood. “It’s not me you have to worry about, remember?” It was him who was in danger. Every moment he stayed. Every moment anyone dared to enter.

"We've decided to improve security with an Orihalcum lock, it shoudl keep you safe." Macleod smiled "Besides, no-one else can get in while i'm here..." he whispered, he always felt a little more human around Amber, she seemed to bring out his gentle side.

Her eyes rolled slightly at that. Great, something else to make her feel trapped. She closed her eyes a moment and breathed. “So when am I expected to join the others?” She asked, trying to change the subject. She may appreciate Macleod, may have been indebted to him, but there was only one side of him she knew. The other of which she had only seen occasionally when he got angry. Which was hardly ever around her. And thus part of her would always tell her not to trust him. The part which also told her to hate him. Her hair whipped out as she tilted back to look at him. “And since when did you become my bodyguard?” She asked softly, having always thought he was protecting the students from her, not the other way around.

Macleod sighed softly "Amber, you're a crystal demon, you may be able to become as hard as diamond but you're still fragile, still made of glass..." he whispered, hoping perhaps he could make her understand why he was here, he sighed again "We should soon be beginning the new year so you can come to classes, you are allowed to love this room during school hours." he explained.

Amber nodded curtly, conveying what humans would see as hurt in her eyes. There might be some freedom, but it was still a prison. Albeit, less cold than others. She thought back a moment, back to when he had rescued her from long ago. From that cold empty void of glass... She shuddered, hating him for making her remember, however illogical it was, before she turned to face him directly once again. “I’ve lived a lot longer than you have Rob and survived so far.” Her eyes suddenly lit as an idea struck. “But I appreciate your concern.” She gave him another dashing smile, before grabbing him by the front of his robe and pulling him to her, as she gave him a long hard kiss. After a moment she pulled away, her eyes twinkling at knowing the effect her wiles could evoke. “Now do you need something of me or have you brought me something to eat?”

Macleod smiled and produced a box containing a beautifully prepared lunch, he sighed "Amber, even though you're a student we've spent so long together... i don't know why you don;t trust me." he asked.

Amber nodded politely at the lunch before, how do humans call it, ‘digging in’. She bit in with a relish, grateful for the extra meat he’d provided. “50 years isn’t that long.” Not compared to millenias. However it was too long in certain aspects. “I don’t know you all that well Robby darling.” She spoke with false sweetness. “However, so long as I’m in chains how can I embrace you as anything other than my captor?” She asked, taking a last bite before wiping her mouth clean. “You really shouldn’t take my caution personally.” She finished.

Macleod sighed "You know that if you were to spend too long outside this room you;d begin to lose control, we built this room to keep you safe... I mean... we want to help you, if there were some way to make you powers safe i'd release you..."

Amber nodded. “It’s fine. I understand.” She hesitated. “It would help if I wasn’t so bored after hours.” She said quietly. “I was wondering, thinking... Would it be possible to assist in teaching this year?” She started. “It would give me something to do. Something productive to work on while I’m locked inside. I could help grade papers or substitute on a random day. You know I’ve been here long enough to do it.” She added, her eyes taking on a soft look.

Macleod nodded and sighed softly "OF course, besides, you'd be very good at marking ancient history papers, we both have anough knowledge."
