Tobias grabbed him and tied him to a chair so that it was impossible for Gumball to escape. Gumball knew there was really no point now, bu he was desperate.''Please help! Please! Somebody help me!'' Tobias groaned and slapped a piece of tape over the young boy's mouth. The only sound throughout the dungeon was Gumball's muffled screams.
Chapter Three - A Narrow Miss
Darwin wiped his tears away with his fin. As he looked around the cold room, he began to feel regret. He should've fought off the guards and helped his brother. Instead he had just stood there and watch it happen. He felt that it was his fault that Gumball, Jackie and Rochelle were hurt. He could've fought for them all. He hung his head as a single tear rolled down his cheek.
Gumball's muffled cries for help grew louder.
''Shut up!'' Tobias ordered as he delievered another hard kick to Gumball's injured leg. Gumball whimpered in pain. The ropes holding him to the chair were starting to dig into his fur. He looked down at his trousers. The right leg of his trousers were drenched in blood. Gumball whimpered as he tried to think of exactly how many lifes he had left. He lost one after an incident with Penny that was totally forced and the young peanut couldn't control ( Gumwin by SilverShadowJynx ) so that left him with only eight remaining. He knew eight lives was still a lot, but if Tobias stabbed or cut him more than nessassary, he could lose all eight at once. He hoped it wouldn't come to that.
''Mmm! Mmm mmm!'' He tried calling out for help again. Tobias turned around and slashed the young cat's arm, causing Gumball's blood to stain the sleeve of his sweater. Gumball yowled in pain. Tobias glared.
''Are you done?'' He spat. Gumball whimpered and nodded quickly.
''Good.'' Tobias set the knife on the counter and left the basement of his hideout to deal with some other business. Gumball saw this as his chance.
''Mmm!Mmmmmmmmm!''
Darwin sat there with his legs crossed, wiping tears away every few minutes. He knew Gumball was doomed and his conscience was telling him it was all his fault. He was ready to admit Gumball was probably dead until he heard something that changed his mind.
''Mmmmmmmmmm! Mmm mmm mmm!'' Darwin gasped and listened.
''Mmm! Mmmmmm mmmm mm!'' After hearing it a second time, Darwin jumped to his feet.
''Gumball?!'' He yelled as loud as he could. The message must've reached the basement because Darwin got a cry back.
''Mmmmmmm! Mmmm mm!'' Darwin kicked the door of the tiny dungeon open and ran towards the basement. When he arrived at the basement, he spotted Gumball right away.
''Gumball!'' He cried out in terror seeing his brother's blood stained pants and sweater.
''Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm mmmm mmmmm! ( Darwin! Please help me! )'' Darwin ran to his brother's side and began to unravel the ropes straining his brother from escaping.
''Well well well. If it isn't DARWIN WATTERSON!'' Darwin jumped and whipped around. There was Tobias, staring Darwin to the ground. Darwin got really scared when Meygan and Miley stepped into view. They may have gotten their reward, but they weren't finished with training yet. Within seconds, Darwin was on the ground, knocked out with a deep gash on his left fin.
