Neeeehh! Must update at least once, tonight!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ZATCH BELL! Please don't sue me!
Zatch grew worried, and jittery.
He had been in this cage for almost two days with nothing to eat, occasionally, Tsukii would bring a small bottle of water to keep him alive, but ever since the small child got here, he hadn't eaten. It was beginning to show, too.
His brother had been in that room for a very long time. Zatch couldn't tell time here, only by the sun and moon, but it felt like his brother had been gone for hours.
As if on cue, the door swung open, and Zeno was being led by the scientist back to his small cage. Zatch felt relived for his brother being alive, but something was wrong. Zeno struggled fiercely, but something about him was different since he entered the room. What was it? Zatch felt like it had something to do with the experiment. The lightning blonde had been hoping deeply that Hikarea would just be testing his blood.
When the small, albino child was finally forced back in the cage, the scientist closed the cage sharply. "Get me out of here! I'm not a stupid experiment you can play with! You twisted, warped, insane psychopath!" The albino screeched.
"You and your sharp tongue!" Tsukii snarled back, slamming his cage to the side, Zeno crashed into the side, then landed on the bottom. The scientist's voice became dark and serious. "I wonder what would happen if I cut it out." She murmured.
Zatch tried to keep himself from protesting like crazy. Instead he watched the whole scene with frightened eyes.
Zeno shrank back, but just barely. "Ha! I'd like to see you try!"
Tsukii narrowed her eyes. "It's not impossible."
The pale child frowned. He turned away and curled up in the back of the cage. He closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Tsukii scoffed. "Now you have nothing to say? After threatening to cut your tongue out?"
Zeno still pretended to be asleep.
"Fine, I'll do it."
The albino opened one eye nonchalantly. He then shifted his position, so his back was to Ms. Hikarea.
Then the cruel woman stormed out of the room.
Zatch began to sob softly, he looked at Zeno with a rueful expression. "Z-Zeno...She's really gonna do it...!" He whimpered. The lightning blonde wiped away one of his own tears. Then he sniffed.
Opening one eye, Zeno looked at his brother with care. "It's alright. I'll be fine, don't worry about me, now please let me sleep." Zeno told Zatch.
The next morning, Zatch almost screamed at Tsukii, as she banged on Zeno's cage loudly. The young boy opened his eyes drowsily. "Ugh, I'm so used to waking up later than this..." He yawned loudly, and stretched. Well, as much as he could in a small cage. "Dufort usually wakes me up at about...Like, ten or something. If I don't feel like getting up, he carries me." Zeno added.
Tsukii rolled her eyes. "Thank you for the story. Now get out."
Zeno blinked adorably, then smiled. "Now?"
"Yes."
Zatch jumped forward and stretched his hand out of the cage. "Please don't cut my brother's tongue out! Please! Please! Please!" He sobbed.
Tsukii glanced at the boy, but otherwise ignored him. She pulled open the cage and pulled the albino out of it. Zatch tried holding his hand out farther, as if he could take his brother away from this horrible place. "Please! Please don't hurt him!"
Zeno looked at his brother and waved his hand. Then the two people entered the lab, Zatch yelling all the way.
After about five minutes, Zatch was tucked in a ball in his cage, still sniffling softly. He heard some crashes, then yelling and screaming. He picked his head up a little bit. He jumped when the door burst open loudly.
Zatch scooted to the end of his cage to see what was happening. He grinned to the scene.
Zeno was running through the hallway towards his brother's cage, Tsukii trying to keep up, but failing. He jumped up, and began scaling the cages, he unlocked the cage and pulled Zatch out, but apparently Zatch had been trying to get out the second the cage opened, and they both tumbled to the floor.
Not moving for days, it felt weird to Zatch limbs to stand up to full height. The twins stood up swiftly, and made dash for the door on the other end of the hall.
Zatch looked at the albino, and curled his eyebrows upwards. A stream of blood seeped out of Zeno's mouth. Zeno returned the look and silently received the question. He smiled and opened his mouth. His tongue was disgustingly bloody, but just barely hanging in there. It was almost cut out, but not quite.
Well, the most fast healing places on the human body is the mouth.
Suddenly, two men burst through the door that the two boys were about to escape through. Wow, how convenient.
One was old, almost bald, and had round glasses on that reflected the light, not showing his eyes. He was a little short, and wore a white lab coat. He leaned on a cane with most of his weight. This guy was also lame. His partner had bulky shoulders, and an expressionless face, he looked perfectly healthy except for his extremely pale face and occasional violent coughing fits.
Zatch and Zeno literally screeched to a halt. Zeno grabbed Zatch's mantle and jerked him back, running the other way. He also skidded to a halt, but not before being picked up by Tsukii. "Got you." She growled in his face.
Zeno narrowed his eyes, but since he was so close to her face, he decided to do something to her to make her drop him. Only coming up with one thing, he spat at her face. Tsukii squealed and dropped the boy.
The scientist hobbled forward awkwardly, guess he finally figured Zatch and Zeno were cornered, so he could probe them like the sick little thing he is.
Zeno growled and backed himself and his brother up to a cage, he stood protectively in front of his brother, his arms spread out. "Toush him, and die." Zeno's vocabulary was a little messed up from his cut tongue, but at least he was understandable.
The scientist seemed to ignore him, and poked Zeno's face gently. The child swatted it away, and snarled.
The old guy glanced at the emotionless boulder and frowned. The large dude glanced back. Then the scientist turned to Mrs. Hikarea. "Very good, specimen. I was wondering when you would finish your project. It has been awhile now." He croaked.
Zatch looked around, trying to find some way to help his brother. He made eye contact with the huge emotionless guy. He seemed to stare at Zatch with intensity, it was beyond creepy. The man took a step forward, and Zeno instantly turned towards him and narrowed his eyes angrily.
"Don't look at him like that, freak!" He snarled, he yelped when a cane came down sharply on the top of his head. The scientist glared at him. "Children shouldn't talk when the grown-ups are." He growled.
Zeno grabbed the scientist's cane and snapped it in half with his knee.
The scientist began to lean on his partner for support. He looked at Mrs. Hikarea. "But if you aren't finished, I'll be glad to assist you." He continued.
The bulky man finally moved, and made a more towards the twins. Zeno tried hitting it away, but it wouldn't budge, instead, he swatted Zeno away instead. Then he firmly got a hold of Zatch's hair and pulled him up slowly.
"Put him down, now!" Zeno yelled, ramming himself into the man, even though it only made him slightly move. He began walking slowly, to not disturb the lame scientist and opened a cage, then placed Zatch inside it, then let got of his hair. The lightning blonde yelped and began rubbing his head.
The older brother began scaling the cages, since his younger brother was placed in a cage at the top. But halfway up, he was plucked off the cages, the bulky man picked up Zeno by the back of his mantle, and placed him in a cage beside Zatch.
"We need to begin immediately. Take the boys to the lab, Mr. Roberts."
The man nodded and took the two cages like kennels, then began following Tsukii to Hell.
You guys hate me for giving so much torture...I'm sorry. *starts sobbing*
