Once Ilnia lets go of her, Anika quickly shook her head and gasped for air. After hearing the taunting, the girl seethed.
"I've been imprisoned by both you and the village guards for a long time with little to eat or drink. So excuuuuuuse me, plant witch, if I'M A LITTLE OFF RIGHT NOW!"
Anika then spat at the alraune.

Ilnia took the spit full in the face, letting it drip off her nose. She just smiled in return, but she did squeeze a little harder.
"Of course you've been struggling lately, my little darling - you've been so long without me!" Ilnia replied condescendingly. She put her forefingers and thumbs in an arch next to each of Anika's eyes, ready to pry her eyelids open if she closed them, and once again subjected her to the spectacle of the hypnotic spirals. She ran them slower this time, and less powerfully.
"You are a toy, my toy - and what purpose does a toy serve that isn't played with? I imagine it would feel very useless indeed." She said provocatively.

Anika tried to squirm even as the vines squeezed harder and Ilnia pulled on her face.
"I'd be better off without you because I'm not a toy!" The girl said in defiance. "Granted I'm in jail now, but at least my mind is free."
Anika tried to shake her head so she wouldn't have to watch the spirals.

In response, Ilnia decided to use all her other techniques together. Bringing a host of vines bristling with blooming flowers around Anika like a cocoon around them both, she puffed a thick pink cloud of pheromones. She raised a flower with it's petals enclosed around a huge glob of her nectar, and using her hands to help hinge Anika's mouth open, she forced the nectar down and held her mouth shut again. If Anika had planned to avoid smelling the pheromones by breathing through her mouth instead, she was now thwarted. On top of all of this, Ilnia also began to sing, substituting her spirals.

No matter how much Anika struggled, Ilnia had a plan for every scenario. Trying to breathe through her mouth only opened her to swallow the mind-numbing nectar and then there was the spirals and singing put together. Everything was starting to get cloudy both visually and mentally and she coughed.
Suddenly there was a booming voice coming from the other side of the room.
"Hey! What's going on in there?! Soldiers, get down there and find the problem!"

She knew that they couldn't stay here long, but ironically it seemed that Ilnia had been distracted by Anika. She wrapped Anika up, and descended with her back into the hole she'd made into the cell. Assuming guards would be investigating the outer walls soon also, Ilnia climbed with Anika up to the roof of the building, and looked around the village from the top, looking for Beiji - if she could find her, then escaping would be easy.

Though she was dragged around and taken to the roof with Ilnia, the distraction was enough to snap some sense back into Anika's mind.
"Congrats Ilnia," Anika muttered. A hint of sarcasm in her voice. "You trapped us both. Now what?"
"The witch has escaped!" came a loud voice, "Search everywhere!"

Ilnia ignored both Anika and the loud voices. She scanned the surroundings, starting at Beiji's house and looking through all the streets and squares. Seeing someone who looked like Beiji, she stretched out a vine from the roof to capture her.
"Your commentary is sweet, slave, but unnecessary, I assure you..." Ilnia said, not turning around to face Anika, but raising a vine right underneath her nose, which sprouted one of her signature flowers, which burst a huge cloud of pheromones straight into Anika's nose.

Beiji's father was able to free his wife and daughter from the alraune's magic by having guards take them to the temple. Beiji's gold ring and jewel were taken and she was free except she thought about her friend again. When no one was looking, Beiji managed to slip away and make her way to a nearby street in the village, trying to find the prison.
Anika could spot Beiji and tried to protest but was silenced as she coughed from the huge cloud of pheromones.

Seeing where Anika had been looking before the cloud of pheromones, Ilnia assumed that Beiji must be that way. Cautiously she began moving to the edge of the roof and going down the wall, constantly looking out for any dangers the villagers might provide to their descent.
"Why do you resist, Anika? Nothing remains here for you but prison. Would you really choose imprisonment over me? I'm hurt by that, Anika, you should always be nice to your friends." Ilnia said, almost absent-mindedly so as she looked around, as if taunting Anika was a force of habit for her now.

In a crowd of people, Beiji was able to spot the alraune with Anika in her clutches and she held her hands over her mouth. "Anika," she whispers.
Anika was forced to breathe in the pheromones, she was able to fight some of the effects. "The only difference is that my real friend would be safe and I'd still have free will. Beiji is my real friend and you don't deserve her."

The alraune swooped down toward the street where Beiji was. She outstretched her vines as they sped towards her, ready to clutch Beiji. "If somebody has the strength to take something, then they deserve it." Ilnia replied to Anika, as she closed the vines around Beiji. "And free will is overrated anyway. I have the strength to take it away, so I'll keep your will for my own." She added.

Beiji tried to run away when she saw the alraune swoop down towards her but fell just as some vines were closing in on her. A man took a hatchet and cuts off one of the vines.
Anika's mind was foggy thanks to the pheromone but she kicked and pulled the vines.
