A/N: /first real AN. / Hi people! First of all, I really want to say thank you for all the views and favs. All of that lot, I also went back into the last two chapters and recently edited those as well, making stuff more readable (Well that's my own excuse for not updating this more than I usually do!) Anyway, please enjoy this chapter, its not that much but of well,(very much a dud! :P ) I have things planed for later on! :D
Waking up to the sound of muffled voices, John Egbert had no clue were on earth he was. With the hushed voices slightly turning to muffled shouts, trying his best not to make too much sound john carefully attempted to sit-up straight. Feeling slightly light headed and dizzy with his vision blurred. Unable to see were it is he may be, unable to recognise the location. The only thing that he could take onboard was that he currently sat in the middle of darkness.
Carefully, moving his hand up towards his face checking to see if his glasses were still in place. As always they were there in place. With his vision slightly becoming better, able to make out vague objects around him. Soon enough he became more aware of his surrounding. Realising that, with the muffled voices still going on in the background, he did in fact find himself inside of what looked to be a, cage?
It was indeed a cage or a prison cell. Only something was just a little bit off about the surroundings. Carful not to make any noise john stood up and placed a hand upon one of the metal rusting bars. Looking out across to the other side of the cage, were more of the same cages could be seen, all lined up and rusting away in the dull gray room.
Unable to see pass rows upon rows of what he assumed to be just vacant cages. Gradually turning to the right, looking at the other side of the cage. Seeing, yet again more iron bars rusting due to the humid air. Carefully pacing towards the other side making sure to make no noise, with the muffled noises still going on in the distance. Moving in more towards the right side of the cage moving his arm up, reaching out for the bars.
Pushing his face up against the bard wall, John could see four more cages. Each one with a person sitting in them. Just who were these people? Why was he here? What on earth were those aggressive voices doing here?
Scared and confused. Trying not to lose total control and attempting to stay calm. Take deep breaths, in … out. Calming down and in a more focused state, John was now able to take a good look to the person in the separate cage at about an arms lengthen.
From what he could see 'It' was a girl and that she was asleep. Taking in more and more details of the body laying out in deep sleep across from him, taking note on the cloths and the long black hair until … oh no, it can't be! Taking a step back in realisation of the fact, that this body right in front of his own eyes was indeed one of his best online friends; Jade. Keep calm. Reminding himself, telling himself every second. With nothing more than the muffed voices as background noise.
Why were they here, and together? Was that even Jade? Who and why would they need him and a 'Jade-lookalike'?
Then something else hit him, what is Dave and Rose was also here? Just the thought that someone could have so much power to get a group of online friends (that lived miles apart) and put them into rusting cages. It was just a sick and twisted thing to do. For this to happen to him as well, this was just terrible luck!
First of all, he needed to calm down. No point in getting so upset about this, with the jade lookalike next to him. Beginning to start thinking about the current situation in more of a focused state of mind, John needed to wake up the girl. That was the right thing to do right now.
"Hey" he whispered in a hushed voice to the other. No reply.
"Hey, Jade lookalike!" he said in a louder whisper. Still no reply.
Bending down to more of a ground level matching the height of the girl spawned out on the floor of the other cage. Stretching out an arm to carefully nudge the girl awake. After about three or so prods and no movement coming from the other body, the muffled voices could be heard, much louder this time. In a state of shock and panic, John quickly retracts his arm. Only to end up with it getting half way stuck on the joint of the elbow grunting slightly in pain trying to get it back.
Footsteps from behind could be heard getting louder, and louder only to cease. Pulling harder at the stuck arm until it was finally free. Falling backwards with a thud and scrunching his eyes up. Not ever wanting to open them to what ever it was that just walked over to him.
"So, you're awake now." He says when another one walks up. "It looks that way," he starts "Strange creatures, being able to sleep without the need of recuperacoon's."
John, slowly turning around to see what on earth was it that they were going on about. 'Recuperacoon's'? Thinking to himself. Standing up in one swift movement, jumping around only too come face to face with the two figures that stood in the shadows out side of the cage.
"Who on earth are you people?" John cries out to the others in distress and confusion. Still unsure as to why there is a Jade lookalike laying on the ground and even if it was Jade, so many questions to be answered. With this a small chuckling could be heard from the two in the dark.
"Oh, were not from earth." Beings one, they step together more into johns field of vision. With him seeing that these two were indeed not human.
