Yay for me! This chapter was honestly a little hard to write and edit. So I really hope you like this one!
"I wouldn't bet on it!" I yell.
"And why is that, Mister Fudo?" he asks.
"You'll see soon enough. In the mean time, might I know who's holding me captive?" I ask.
"I don't see any harm in that. I suppose, because if you don't cooperate, you'll never make it out alive." A short man wearing a white and red suit steps out from the shadows. He only has a little auburn hair on his chin and he's petting a cat with orange stripes.
"I am Doctor Leon Freshter. I am looking for a cure for that horrid disease of yours, and so many others. But I need to know if you have any more friends that share your... Uh... Condition. If you don't tell me, I'll just have to use force to get what I want." He says.
"What exactly is this cure? And why don't you just ask people like me instead of kidnapping and forcing them into submission?" I ask.
"I cannot reveal too many secrets, but let me say this: Goodwin is innocent. Lazar forces him to do my bidding. They're both working for me, in helping me find those like you and bringing them here." he says.
It takes me a moment to realize that I'm growling.
"I hate to burst your bubble, but Lazar is dead." I spit at him.
"Ah, yes, about that." Freshter says.
"Oh, Yusei, you shouldn't always believe your eyes." Lazar steps out of the shadows to join his boss.
"What? But how?" I ask.
"A werewolf can heal himself, even if he's an inch away from death. You should know this, you've done it yourself." he says.
"Why did you attack New Domino City? As far as you know, Lazar, Goodwin and I could be the only werewolves." I ask.
Lazar looks like he could kill me. "There are more. Trust me."
"It's not an attack. It's a gathering of people like you." Freshter says.
"That doesn't matter. Why do it?" I ask.
Before I get my answer, a window above me and to the left shatters.
A 20 pound weight drops to the floor; it has a note attached.
Freshter picks up the note after untying it from the weight; the cat in his arms runs to the back of his neck and jumps off his shoulders and out of sight.
"Look behind you, Nutcase." he reads aloud. He slowly turns around; something makes him fall on his back. A familiar pair of boots step over him and into the light.
"Crow!" I yell.
"Hey, Yusei. What do ya say we get you outta hear?" he asks.
"You might want to grab Lazar first." I tell him.
Crow turns to see Lazar run straight into Jack, who grabs him by the back of the neck.
"You're not going anywhere, pipsqueak!" he says.
"I think Jack's got it." Crow says as he starts to untie me.
"Why didn't you just break out of these?" he asks.
"I was stalling while I tried to. How did you find me?" I ask.
"That prison mark on your face. Trudge managed to reactivate it for a few hours." he says. I can feel the ropes fall away.
"Yeah, but how'd you know I was in trouble?" I ask as I get up from my chair and rub my wrists.
"Kalin told us. Oh, and ya might want to call Akiza. She's been worried sick about you."
My heart sinks. Poor Akiza.
I pick up Freshter and drag him outside. We're stranded on a small island.
Before I can ask how Crow and Jack got here, they head to the back of the cottage, where a helicopter is waiting with Trudge in the driver's seat.
He rolls down his window. "I see you found some hostages. Here, use these on them."
He hands us some handcuffs, which we use on Lazar and Freshter.
We enter our helicopter and enjoy a not so pleasant ride back to New Domino City; Lazar keeps telling us how unfair this was, and it's driving Crow crazy.
After we land, Frester wakes up from his nap, and joins Lazar in the complaining.
"You both have the right to remain silent!" Trudge finally yells.
We land just outside the main detention block and step outside.
A loud noise like a faulty combustion chamber backfiring sounds in the distance. We look to the sky and see a pillar of green light, engulfing New Domino at a fast pace.
I grab Freshter by the shoulders and shake him.
"What is that, and what's it doing?" I ask him, rather loudly.
He looks crazed. His eyes are bulging, mouth watering slightly, and he's smiling.
"A little something for the filth that is your kind." he laughs at me.
Oh Frester. It's a wonder Yusei didn't punch you out cold.
I hope you liked it, and thanks for the reviews and please leave more! I love them, they are just too amazing.
