Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
The room was dark and musty. Too dark to see anything but Daphne didn't have to be able to see to know that her hands were tightly bound. The rope dug deeply into her skin and one false move would result in some nasty grazes. She decided to try to listen to see if anyone was with her in the dark prison. The silence was suffocating as Daphne listened in fear. Just as she was about to jump up, a rumbling growl echoed throughout the darkness. Daphne shrunk back against the wall behind her while her imagination went into over-drive and conjured up vivid images of gruesome monsters. She saw giant dripping blobs that consumed everything in their paths and glaring, hate-filled red eyes towering over her before a familiar voice broke through her wild imaginings. "Ugh Scoob, like, when was the last time they fed us?!" Daphne's breath rushed out in a relieved sigh.
"Shaggy? Scooby?" She called out tentatively.
"Don't eat me I taste horrible and will give you terrible indigestion!... Hang on, Daph?!" Surprise coloured Shaggy's voice as he peered into the dark room. Scooby dropped Shaggy onto the floor after they got over the shock of hearing heavy breathing seeking them out from the darkness.
"Oh, thank goodness Daph, I thought you were some creature sent here to eat us!" Daphne rolled her eyes at them. She could picture the identical sheepish expressions they would have on their faces and laughed despite herself. The laugh didn't sound right. It was scared and unsure just like Daphne herself. As her eyes got adjusted to the darkness, Daphne was able to make out three blurred figures in the darkness.
"Shaggy," Daphne's voice was small and measured, "who's your friend?" Shaggy's face twisted in confusion as he pondered Daphne's question. The room was empty apart from the three friends and he opened his mouth to tell her that when he felt a cool tingling on the back of his neck. Shaggy's giggles echoed all through the room as the tickly feeling continued.
"Like, cut it out Scoob, that tickles!" Shaggy gasped out between chuckles as he swung his arms behind him in an attempt to stop his friend.
"Um, Shaggy," Daphne started, "Scooby's sitting in front of you."
I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to finish it here. I wonder who's behind Shaggy...
