Welcome to my chapter 4! Thanks for your reviews Awesome Sauces!
Chapter 4: Timeless
Martin walked through the tall grassy meadows of the savannah. Two bleeps came from the Creature pod in his back pocket. He felt a little burst of happiness thinking that it was his brother Chris but when he answered, it was only Zach.
"What Zach?" Martin said becoming flustered
"Have you found my mystery animal thingy yet?" said Zach impatiently
"It's only been a few hours Zach of course I haven't found Mystery."
"Well you better hurry because Chris won't have much time!" A grin came off his face
He felt his heart sank "Don't worry Zach... Can I speak to Chris , I need to know that he's ok."
"Of course he's okay... Beside all the pain he's going through every single second we speak!"
"LET ME SEE HIM!" Martin shouted
"FINE! I'll let you see him..."
Zach pressed a button on his computer which sent Martin a video of Chris instantly. He was in the corner shaking from the pain. Once in a while he would even get up and shake the cell bars violently, sometimes gnawing on them too.
"CHRIS! Don't worry bro! I'll come and save you I promise"
"He can't hear or see you" Zach informed
The screen went back to Zach. He saw the sad face Martin made.
"Don't feel too bad. Once you get me the creature all of this will be over..." Zach said as he sat back in his chair
Martins' screen went black with static. He stood there for a few seconds see imaging his brother turning into a monster. Anger flushed through his body, he had no choice now! Time wasn't on his hands he had to find that creature and fast.
He searched far and wide to find the mystery animal. He even looked at the exact den they were found at, nothing. Martin was becoming worried about if he was going to find Mystery or not. What felt like a 2 centuries actually ended up to be 2 in a half hours. Martin came across a huge rock with a little indent in it. It was deep enough for Martin to be blocked by the sun. He plopped down by the rock and whipped his face with frustration. He just sat there, thinking about what to do next. I'm never going to find Mystery at this rate, Martin thought. The afternoon turned into the evening, that soon turned into the night. The sky turned from a bright blue to a dark sea blue. The moon was raised high and Martin was still sitting on his butt near the rock. He was right about to get up, now that he had a plan, but he felt something breathing on his neck. He looked back slowly and cautiously to find a huge creature sitting right behind him. M...M...M...MYSTERY! Martin never felt so happy in his life.
"Boy am I glad to see you!" said Martin petting the creature
Mystery purred and rubbed against Martins arm.
"Where's the rest of your group? I thought you had a family?"
The animal walked out of the den, sat down, and looked up at the stars. Martin went over to Mystery and looked with him. He looked back down at the animal.
"Are they gone...?"
Mystery gazed into Martins eyes as if she could understand every single word he spoke. For a creature like Mystery with it's sharp teeth, dangerous claws, and complex combination you would think she's dangerous, but no she's not. In fact, Mystery seems to understand the feelings Martin is going though. Martin sat down at the spot he was at and crossed his legs, putting his elbows on the side of his knees, and placed the palm of his hands on his cheeks. Mystery got up walking over to Martin where they both met face to face.
Martin sighed then spoke "I don't know how to say this but there's this evil scientist who wants me to capture you so he can use you as his new invention. I really don't want to do this to a beautiful creature like you but... I'm only doing this so I can save my little brother... I don't expect you to understand since you are an animal and you can't speak English."
Mystery got up from listening to Martin and laid his forehead against Martins. He felt the warmth of the animal touch him. Martin stood back up and noticed the behavior of Mystery.
"I don't want to sound crazy, but you can understand me?" Martin said questioned
The animal nodded.
"Then you understand how important my brother means to me."
The creature nodded again.
"Alright!" Martin said relieved that he wasn't going insane "We'll head back to the jet tomorrow morning, after we get some rest, to get to Chris A.S.A.P! Then I'll come get you, from where ever he holds you, so you can life free and in the wild!"
Mystery agreed and walked back to her little den with Martin by her side.
The words 'Living free and in the Wild' made him remember Chris. He missed the sweet voice of his little brother. Now, he was ready. Martin had a great plan and was ready to take action when the day comes.
CHRIS:
I could hear the sound of Zach's foot steps coming into the cell room I was in. My hearing improved more since this afternoon. My appetite was adjusting to the stomach of a Tasmanian Devil. I could definitely tell me attitude has changed since the day I was left here. Will Martin ever come back... My conscious keeps on telling me, of course he'll com back but I'm still not sure about that.
Zach came up to the bars, I don't know what got over me but a hand full of rage raced to the bars, I slammed into the cell bars trying to grab Zach.
"Well, I was going to tell you about your blue brother, who I called!" said Zach
I got back control of myself. "Martin! I want to see him!" I really really missed my brother. I swear if I don't see him one more time I just might go insane.
"No problem, you'll see him once he brings me back my creature!"
I wasn't going to argue with Zach, it's not worth it.
"This is ridiculous Zach, going through all the trouble just for one little animal. What do you even plan on doing with the mystery animal?" minus well find out something about his plan if I'm going to be stuck here for a while.
"It's none of your business, you'll find out soon enough anyways." A grin emerged from Zach's pale face
He left the room letting the door shut slowly him, the last of the light disappeared as the door closed. I was all alone once again, nothing to occupy me but the thoughts of my plan to escape. I don't care if I turn or not, this virus isn't going to stop me from getting out of this cage and being with Martin. Times like this make me wish that I should of done more with my brother, I'll miss him.
Tally mark number one, representing the day I have left from being taken over by this parasite, or the last day the creature has to live. Of course I want the creature to live but I also want to say my last goodbyes to my brother incase something happens. I can't fight for long, I can feel my mind being taken over. I try every hour to stay on track, I have to think of memories that I've spent with my brother. It's hard, yeah... But I know that Martin isn't giving up so neither am I!
TBC!
