She cried silently, not from the hurts she had sustained though they had marked her deeply, nor did she weep hopelessly. Her tears had a purpose, the tiny stones that piled in her lap one step of a desperate plan to escape the hell she found herself within. She possessed a weapon that hadn't been stripped from her in her wings, and had another weapon in her magic. Before terror had taken the concentration neccessary to spellcast, had robbed her of the ability to lash back at the monster who had tried to shatter her soul by attacking her body. She knew his name now and that of his partner, and knew just what she was dealing with. A demon of unknown power and strength, and a vampire who matched him in evil. She knew she would only have one chance at escape, and was almost ready. The stone walls of her prison would yield to her command, and if they didn't she would find another way. She had tried once, unsuccessfully to use the teleportation spell to return her home and it hadn't backlashed, she simply went nowhere.
Pouring the tiny stones into a scrap of cloth taken from her tattered outfit, she began the first part of her plan. Taking two stones, dull colored ones so they would blend into the gloom that pervaded the place, she flung one at the nearest gremlin and while the stone was in the air she flung the second one towards the furthest gremlin. Her aim was true, and both struck the intended targets. The riot that occurred would have been funny had the situation not been so bleak. The small minded creatures turned on one another, fighting amongst themselves, their prisoner forgotten. Turning away from them she spread her wings, the left one glowing slightly from the hidden feather. Touching the wall she commanded it to flow apart and let her pass. It obeyed sluggishly, but it moved and let her go through. She closed the hole by the same method, no reason to let the gremlins know where she had gone. Turning to get a good look at the chamber in which she found herself she began to run towards the opposite side. She prayed that there was a way out of this place, and refused to think beyond that. Room after room she fled through, though each one looked just like the last. Flying around a corner, she skidded to a stop and almost landed on her rear. Onimaru was standing there, an unreadable expression on his face. She gathered threads of power to her, and sent it out in a strike that would have knocked anyone else through several brick walls. He just strode foward, the energies flowing around him like water. He was too close, she couldn't fight him on a physical level and win. He drew near and raised his hand, bringing it crashing down against her temple, sending her flying to impact against the far wall. She slid bonelessly to the ground, the stones in the makeshift pouch rolling on the floor beside her. He strode over and picked her up by her hair and walked to another room, in which he flung her into it and sealed it. His laughter vibrated the walls, he had expected her to try to escape, and knew she wouldn't get far before being caught again.
