"You're lying,"  She growled, her brow furrowing.  She did not believe for a second he had lost those keys, this was all just a continuation of the test.  Alice still scowled as she closed her eyes and tried to touch on the same power she had just used once again.  Working with the handcuffs was a whole different thing from what she had done with the knife.  That was just a push in another direction.  It did not strike her that she could crack or bend the metal, instead her mind focused on doing the same work the keys would have done.  It forced the mechanisms to click open until both handcuffs unlatched from her wrists and clattered to the floor beneath her.<br/><br/>When she pushed up to her feet, her eyes watched him carefully.  Something more than anger haunted them...Betrayal, perhaps?  Alice felt like a fool, she had thought this guy was into her, that there was a chance for something for the first time in forever with him...And now he was some kind of...Magician?  Asshole magician.  Maybe she was high or something and this was all some trick of suggestion.<br/><br/>"Just stay the fuck away from me."  She bit out as she moved toward the door, her eyes still on him.  Relief filled her as she reached the threshold and stepped through....Only to find herself right back in the room with her next step.  She turned and went through the door again and was once again returned.  She looked over at Frederick with fire in her eyes.<br/><br/>"Whatever this is, whatever you're doing, I want no part of it.  Let. me. leave."  Her voice wavered slightly, shifting from defiant and strong, to something more like begging.
