Mitch's POV

I stared sadly at the area where Daddy had disappeared. He had left me. I thought he loved me!

I was sobbing, tears running down my face, staining my cheeks, when I felt a hand on my back.

"Daddy?" I cried. He hadn't left me! I turned around joyfully, an my face fell. It was only Lachlan.

"Oh. I thought you were Daddy," I mumbled. The hand disappeared from my shoulder as Lachlan walked away.

I turned my head away again, severely disappointed. I faintly heard wails coming from somewhere in the dungeon. Who else was in here? Then it hit me.

The sobs were coming from me.

Rob's POV

Prince Mitch was sobbing, pressed up against the iron bars that formed the front of our cell. I could see why. His dad, King Herobrine, had left him here, even though he was Mitch's father.

But Mitch wasn't the only source of the crying. The guards and King Herobrine had brought in two more people. Well, not people. A lava mob and a bacca.

They were in the cell next to ours. The bacca was screaming at the unconscious lava mob in a language I couldn't understand. He was most likely trying to get the lava mob to wake up.

The bacca was constantly shaking the lava mob with his furry paws, only to reel back with a yelp as he licked his blistered paws.

He nudged the lava mob again, letting out another shriek. Blisters were bubbling up the pads of his feet.

"You should really stop doing that," my cellmate, Vikk said. The bacca looked over at us, his face fur soaked with tears, head cocked. He couldn't understand a word that we were saying. Vikk facepalmed.

I quickly formed an 'X' with my arms, a sign for 'stop.'

The bacca seemed to understand and glared at me, shaking his head furiously. He started growling at me, probably telling me 'no' in whatever language he spoke.

He continued shaking the lava mob, flinching back with a yelp every time, crying as he slowly rubbed his blistered paws.

He was clearly in a ton of pain, and then the poor bacca made a horrible, idiotic mistake.

The bacca nudged the unconscious lava mob with his nose.

Sniffling, the bacca shoved his face at the lava mob.

"No!" I simultaneously yelled. I was too late. The bacca yelped and started shrieking as the fur on his face started on fire.

The bacca was screaming, stumbling around the cells. Vikk was shouting as he was shakily pointing his fingers at the bacca.

"Hold still!" he shouted. The bacca ignored him. Vikk screamed, as water shot out of the tips of his finger, drenching the bacca. Surprisingly, not too much damage had been done. His nose had a blister on it, and his face was slightly swollen, but his fur was only slightly scorched black on the ends.

As we were surveying the damage, two identical screams came from the cell.

The lava mob was unconsciously howling and the bacca was shrieking. I strained my neck, trying to get a better angle at what was happening, but the bacca was blocking my view.

Then the bacca moved, and I saw what was causing the lava mob so much pain, and why the bacca was screaming.

If you were looking at the lava mob, the right half of the unconscious lava mob's body was slowly starting to look more and more glassy and it was darkening. This included his leg, part of his arm, and a section of his head.

I slowly looked over at Vikk, who was watching in horror.

Some of the water had hit the lava mob.

Suddenly, the lava mob snapped out of unconsciousness, yelping and howling. He was rolling around on the floor shrieking as the obsidian spread.

Jerome's POV

Preston was writhing on the floor, screaming as the dark stuff spread.

"HELP! JEROME IT HURTS!"

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" I shrieked. The little humans in the other cells were staring at Preston in horror.

"CAN YOU TAKE IT OFF WITH YOUR POWERS?" I howled.

Preston stopped screaming and seemed to consider this, still flinching in pain.

"I could try," he said, whimpering.

He closed his eyes, concentrating, and his pendant started to glow. Red light snaked its way from the pendant around his neck, surrounding him in translucent ball of tinted red orange light.

Little strands of lava started flowing from his hands and wrapped around the part of him that was obsidian, including his head. The lava seemed to cover most of it, and I could see some of the uncovered obsidian melting away.

Once the procedure was done, the ball of light faded away, and Preston was sitting there, grinning from ear to ear, giggling silently. I plopped next to him, being careful not to touch him.

"What's so funny?" I whispered. I followed his gaze. He was chuckling at the four human boys, whose mouths were wide open, basically hitting the floor of their cell. Their eyes were open wide.

"They look like frogs," I whispered to Preston.

Preston froze for a second. Had I accidentally offended him?

Preston started crying, wiping his eyes. What had I done? But then it hit me. He wasn't crying. He was laughing!

Preston was howling now, slamming his fists on the floor of the cell.

"You're.. right!" he wheezed in between laughs.

Mitch's POV

The bacca screamed something at the lava mob. Whatever it was, it made the lava mob stop screaming and instead letting out an occasion whimper as the the obsidian slowly took over his body.

Then, the red orange pendant around his neck started glowing. Red and orange threads of light weaved their way out of the pendant, and wrapped around the lava mob. So many, in fact, formed that soon the lava creature was surrounded in a translucent ball of the glowing light.

He squinted his eyes that hadn't already been obsidianized shut, letting out a little yelp, and concentrated. I cocked my head. What was he doing? Then, lava started flowing out of his fingers, surrounding the obsidian on his body, slowly melting it.

I stared in awe as the lava mob retracted the lava, sitting down on the ground, laughing. The bacca sat down next to him, chuckling as well. He whispered something into the lava mob's ear.

The lava mob froze, before falling over and howling, laughing so hard tears were coming out of his eyes. I turned to the rest of the guys.

"Does anyone else want to know what the bacca said?" I asked, a grin plastered on my face. Vikk and Rob nodded. Lachlan was still staring at the lava mob, his mouth wide open.

"Lachlan?" I asked, waving my hand in front of his eyes.

"H- he just- he –" Lachlan was in too much shock to think straight.

Then, an idea went off in my head like a lightbulb.

"Guys, what if we teach them English?"

Preston's POV

I was still rolling around on the ground, dying of laughter, while Jerome had fallen on his face and was laughing too hard to get up.

I looked up, wiping a tear from my eye.

The human were looking at me curiously, so I mimicked their expression.

"Jerome, I think they want us," I called to the bacca, who was still face first on the floor. I got a muffled "okay," for an answer. The bacca had sat up, still quietly chuckling.

One of the humans, the one in the blue hoodie, pointed to himself.

"Rob," he said.

Oh! They wanted to teach us their language.

The humans turned towards each other, furiously arguing. Probably about Jerome and I. But I was smart! I could do this!

"Rob?" I curiously repeated. The humans looked at each other in delight, and a huge smile grew on my face. They liked me!

Vikk's POV

"Rob," Rob said, pointing to himself. The lava mob straightened up like a child in school, a small grin on his face.

"This is never going to work, guys," I said. "They won't understand us, they're just animals! You can't teach a cow to speak English!"

"Well, if they are Elementals, we have to learn how to speak with them, otherwise we can never work as a team!" Lachlan replied. Mitch turned away, upset.

"They're just animals! We can't reach them! Or work with them!" I cried. I was about to continue on my rant, but a tiny voice interrupted us.

"Rob?"

I slowly turned my head, to see the lava mob staring back at me with those big black eyes. He had a proud grin on his face.

"Did he just-" I started.

"Rob?" the lava mob said, pointing to Rob. We all gasped. They COULD learn English!

"I stand corrected!" I said, grinning.

"Preston," the same little voice said. I looked back at the lava mob to see him pointing at himself.

"His name is Preston!" I said excitedly. I pointed at the bacca, looking expectantly at the lava- Preston.

"Jerome!" Preston squeaked. Jerome looked up at us curiously when he heard his name. The bacca turned towards the lava mob. He started chattering at Preston.

Preston looked back at us. He pointed to his pendant, looking at us expectantly.

"Pendant," Mitch said.

"Pendant?" another little voice said. I looked at Jerome to see a wide, happy grin stretched on his face.

"Pendant?" Preston tried. I nodded excitedly.

I pointed at each of the guys in turn.

"Air," I said pointing at Mitch.

Then I turned to Lachlan, "Electricity."

"Water," I said, pointing at myself. Then I turned to Rob.

"Ice."

Preston shook his head furiously, a frown now on it. He pointed at Rob.

"No Ice. Rob," he pouted. Oh! He though that our powers were our names.

"Fire," I said, pointing at Preston. Something clicked in his head, and he seemed to understand.

"Fire," he repeated. The tiny lava mob squinted his eyes and a little ball of fire appeared in his and.

"Fire," he copied, looking at the flame.

Preston's POV

"Ice," 'Water' said, pointing at Rob. What?! No, he said his name was Rob!

"No Ice," I said, shaking my head in confusion. "Rob."

'Water' slapped his hand against his face, and pointed at me.

"Fire," he said. Oh! I got it now. He was talking about our powers. I tried out the word.

"Fire."

It sounded perfect. I liked that word. I closed my eyes, concentrating. A little ball of flames appeared in my hand.

"Fire," I repeated in English. Then, surprisingly enough, the fire looked at me. Did I just make a living flame?

I squealed, hugging it.

"Fire!" I squeaked, showing them all the flames. He was beautiful.

"Flamey!" I shrieked in the language Jerome and I shared. I shoved him at Jerome.

"Flamey!" I squealed.

How did I say that in English? I shoved the ball of fire at them, looking at them expectantly.

They looked confused.

"Fire?" they tried. I shook my head.

"Flame?" the red hoodied one said. I nodded happily.

"Flamey!" I squealed.

Rob's POV

Preston shoved 'Flamey' at us. He had literally created life. The little ball of fire was actually alive.

"Well, that's not weird at all," Vikk said.

"Guys, it's quite clear we all want to escape. How do we teach them that?" Lachlan said.

"Escape?" One of them had heard what we said. I looked at the lava mob.

"Escape?"

I pointed out of the cell and mimicked getting out.

"Escape."

The lava mob smiled and looked at the bacca.

"Escape."

Preston's POV

"Fire flower?" I said to Jerome, and he grinned. He shut his eyes tightly, and concentrated on a little sprout growing through the cracks of the bedrock in our cell.

It almost immediately swelled to a huge vine.

Our pendants started to glow as the vine took on a orange tint. It was now fire resistant.

"Fire!" I shrieked, surrounding the vine in coils of lava. The lava vine shoved its way through the bars of our cell, melting them like they were made of butter.

The vine snaked around to the human's cells. The humans backed up when the vine came to their cell as it melted through the bars easily.

When we were all free, Jerome waved his paw and the lava vine disappeared. I scooped up Flamey, looking at the humans proudly.

"Escape?"
