SN woke. Trust me, it takes alot to wake her up. A hurricane could blow through her room and she would never know. "DAMN! Fira!" SN snapped at the fire girl. "I'm sorry!" Fira trilled again, eyes huge as she stared at the fire. She of all people should be less afraid, but a fire like this one scared her out of her wits. Yes, it does have something to do with her death. Tied down, unable to help herself, flames... the memory burned as much as the fire would. Brianna let out a loud whimper of fear, clinging to the nearest friendly-looking person; that would be Ichabod. Well, SN'd be clinging too, but that would be more out of fangirl-ism. "Damndamndamndamndamndamn!" SN hissed to herself, trying to make her way to the door. Maybe she could get a fire extinguisher. But just as she got there, flames erupted along the frame, slowly devouring the wood. Sweeney leaned away slightly, but he couldn't bring himself to just shove her away from him. Maybe a little of the spell lingered. Maybe he just didn't want to scare his daughter more than she already was.

Lovett was clinging to Sweeney with an impossibly tight grip. But then she remembered that THIS was the man who had shoved her in an oven, and quickly let go, backing away from him. The fight between the actors was interrupted when they noticed the fire. "Oy! Freddy! Fire!" "Ooh..." Freddy stared at the flames. They were actually sort of pretty. He didn't even think of the fact that fire could kill.

Brianna had by now started crying, very quietly. She wasn't a loud girl. She whimpered, sniffling. The flames were scaring her pretty badly. Not to mention it had blocked their means of escape. "Damn it, where's the damn Danny-look-alike when ya need 'im!" SN growled to herself. Yes, she still hated his guts. Yes, she also needed to make a deal with him so she could somehow get Brianna out of there. She didn't want the little girl to burn to death. Fira seemed rooted to the spot, staring with huge eyes at the fire. It was out of her control. Her skin was impossibly warm, almost as hot as the flames themselves. If you looked closely, you could see her trembling.

The Danny look-alike was indeed hanging around, but he didn't look like Danny at the moment. Just because he loved tormenting the composer didn't mean he assumed his younger form all the time. He was currently looking much more like a certain grumpy stage director, except his incisors were still pointed and his hair was much redder than it should be. And he was talking to the one who should never EVER talk to him because he'd pretty much agree to anything. "So I was thinking... Garry's sorta mad 'cause I guess Dotty's not that one girl in the musical," Freddy chattered to the one he assumed was Lloyd. "So maybe you could just have her and Belinda swap parts. Bet they'd do it."

"Freddy, can you worry about that AFTER we get rid of the fire? Or the fire gets rid of us, one or the other?!" SN snapped, obviously scared and annoyed. How could he be thinking about some play or something at a time like this?! It was mad! Insane! Brianna whimpered more audibly, her huge dark eyes reflecting the fire devouring the room. Ichabod, whom she was still clinging to, picked her up and backed as far from the flames as he could. He was straining very hard not to faint. "Calm down, now, shhh," he muttered to her. He faintly remembered his mother soothing him once during a thunderstorm when he was young. He didn't like to remember things like that though because of what happened to his mother. He tried not to think about her death that often.

Freddy blinked, turning towards SN. "SORRY! I'm just dumb about stuff like that," he said apologetically. The man he had been talking to growled a little in frustration- WHY must he always end up talking to the dull ones!? He scowled, reverting back to his usual redhaired Danny-ish self. "Hey bud. You do realize there's a fire in here, right?" Might as well freak the actor out. If he was bright enough to be freaked out, that is. "Yeah... I can see that. I'm not blind, you know," Freddy replied slowly. "Good. Just makin' sure you know. SO." Satan grinned. "How about we make an agreement? I get 'em outta here, you give me something."

SN glared. But her eyes traveled to her desk, and she had a mini-panic attack, lunging forward and snatching a picture frame off the desk just before flames devoured it, hugging it to her chest. It was a frame that depicted a lake with dragonflies and other bugs, with a picture of herself when she was much younger, about eight or so, and her step-dad in it. The only picture she had of him. She would have been devastated if she'd let it burn. He'd died several years previously. "Take whatever you want," SN muttered, "Just make sure they don't burn to death." She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she let them die just because she hated one of FA's characters. The area free of flames was ever-shrinking. Brianna uttered a quiet squeak as the flames came closer, and Ichabod looked as though the smallest thing could make him faint at any moment.

Satan casually glanced around at the flames, as if they were just decorations or something. "You're not gonna be the one making a deal," he told SN. She would figure out some way to pay him and he wouldn't be able to squeeze a lot out of her for his payment. She knew him too well already. "Ooh! I'll do it!" Freddy almost immediately volunteered. He thought Satan was just a creepy-looking but nice random stranger. But he thought everyone was nice, so that was nothing new.

"Freddy, be careful..." SN warned under her breath. Yes, she knew him well enough to know that he'd try to make sure Freddy got the bad end of the deal. She was finding it hard herself to stay calm-ish, because she hated fire. She hated fire with a burning passion, no pun intended. There had been a fire in her appartments when she was little, and it had scared her pretty badly. Brianna screeched as suddenly SN"s computer seemed to have a mini-explosion as fire engulfed the processor. Sweeney pulled Johanna quickly out of the way. He didn't want her getting hurt. He didn't care if he got killed. He deserved to die.

Satan's grin widened, if that was even possible. "Great!" He grabbed Freddy by the shoulders and they both disappeared for a few minutes as they discussed the terms of the deal down in Satan's lair. Basically, Satan was to provide a safe way out and then Freddy would let him take what he wanted from him. He didn't know, of course, how that was a bad thing.

Fira pulled SN out of the way of more flames. Now everyone was pretty much trapped in one fire-free corner. But it wasn't going to be much longer before the whole room when up in flames. Brianna scrambled down and slid into the closet, curling into a ball in a corner and hiding there. Her pale face was smoke and tear stained, her dark eyes burning from the smoke. She coughed viciously, the smoke from the fire hard on her lungs. Sweeney glared at the flames, standing in front of Johanna as though daring the fire to come any closer to his daughter. If he could, he'd murder the flames, but his silver blades were useless against them.

Not long later, Satan and Freddy reappeared. Of course, Satan had a huge grin on his face. "All right, I have what I want from him," he announced, waving his hand at the flames to push them aside, to cause a thin space leading to the door. Pretty much, it was small enough for only one person to be able to go at a time, and even then if they made one wrong step, they'd step in flames. He wasn't doing any more than he had to. "See you later, bud!" he hissed at Freddy before vaporizing.

"Freddy, what did you agree to?" SN asked, a warning clearly in her voice. If he'd done anything stupid... Well, it wouldn't be pretty. Sweeney glared at the gap. It was too thin to get Johanna through with her large skirt. "You need to get rid of some of the layers on that dress," he growled. Johanna agreed without thought, because she'd noticed the same thing. And it was getting hard to breathe with all the smoke. Ichabod stared apprehensively, slowly taking a step forward, slowly making his way through. His hands were held stock-still at his side, and once he was clear of the flames, he got a safe distance away, then...fainted. Girl. Brianna's heart was pounding hard in her chest as she panicked. There was a small flame licking at the corner of the closet. The door was starting to smoke angrily, and heat came off it in waves.

Freddy blinked, flinching a little at the tone of SN's voice. "Well... I sorta told him he could have anything he wanted 'cause, you know, I didn't think he was serious and..." Freddy trailed off, looking a little panicked as his eyes widened with horror. "Oh my God." Apparently, he had just realized that Satan had been serious when he said he'd just take whatever he wanted as payment.

SN smacked herself on the forehead. "Okay, let's just get out of here before anything else happens," she muttered, slowly making her way through. Slowly, she made it out without much more than a few burns on her arms where she had to use them to keep her balance when she nearly lost it a few times. Johanna went after her, and Sweeney after his daughter. Brianna screamed as the door erupted into flames, but her voice couldn't be heard over the roar of the fire. She looked up and noticed for the first time that the closet, like most, was full of clothing. Flammable clothing. She pushed herself desperately against the wall, almost hoping that a door would appear to let her out.
