Danny POV
I ran around in the dark, trying to find a hint of where I was. But it was so dark, I would have been better off blind.
"Danny."
I whipped my head around to where I heard the whisper come from. I tried to focus my ears to see if anyone was there. I could hear the faint breathing of someone.
"Hello?"
I walked forward slowly with my arms extended in front of me. I shuffled my feet slowly to avoid tripping on anything. As I walked forward, the sound became louder.
"Hello?"
Something grabbed my ankle and pulled it out from under me. I fell onto my knee, I tried to grab with was on my leg but it was already gone.
There was an audible click as the room was illuminated with a bright red light. It stung my eyes for a little bit before they managed to adjust.
I stood up and looked around the red glowing room. It seemed to go on for miles in every direction, even the ceiling seemed to go on for miles.
There's no way I can do this by walking. I transformed into my ghost side, or at least I tried to. The bright halos flickered around my waist before disappearing. I couldn't bring them back forward again.
"Danny."
I whipped around to see who the voice belonged to. My heart sank when I saw who it was.
Jack and Maddie were there with their sickly sweet smiles. My heart sped up at the sight of them. I haven't seen them since I escaped.
"Hey Danny, come and give mommy a hug. I haven't seen you for so long. We haven't had fun together for so long."
Maddie opened her arms up for a hug. Jack did the same. As I walked away from them, taking steps backward. The lights began to flicker.
I looked again at Maddie and jack in between the flickers and almost left my lunch on the floor.
One second, they would look normal, the next, they looked like something out of a horror game. Their eyes would change from normal eyes to black endless pits with tears of blood coming out.
Their smiles would turn into another black endless pit and become impossibly pointed at the ends. As my eyes traveled downward to take in their appearance, it became worse and more disturbing.
Their normally clean clothes turned into the lab coats they used that was full of my bright green and red blood.
My blood ran cold when I saw their hands. I scrambled backward away from them as they held Ben's and Rex's bloodied heads towards me.
I heard someone's hysterical screaming filling the air as I continue to crawl away from them.
"Dan-nyyyyyyy, don't you want to see your brothers?"
Maddie used a sing-song voice to say that and kept on getting closer while she held up Ben's head for me to see. Her face turned into one of fury when she realized that I wasn't going to let her get close to me.
"I said look at it!"
She threw Ben's head at me with Rex's head right behind his.
I sat up screaming with tears coming down my face as I tried to get away from their heads. I scrambled backward until I fell off the edge and landed on my back.
Still, I refused to open my eyes as I screamed my throat raw. I felt two hands grab my wrists and hold me down. I started to struggle even more as I tried to get out of their grip.
"Danny, it's me, calm down."
I opened my eyes and I was able to see Rex through my tears. I latched onto him in a tight hug and refused to let him go.
He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed my back in a soothing manner and did so until I calmed down.
"Danny, where's Ben?"
I looked up at him and realized that we were in Ben's house behind the couch. I must have fallen off the couch. How did I get here?
"Danny?"
I focused back on Rex and tears sprang up when I realized that Ben was still missing.
"I-I don't know, I was holding him in my arms and then he was just gone."
Tears rolled down my face again at the thought of Ben missing.
"Whose blood is on your clothes?"
The memory of Ben bleeding out made tears run down my face even more.
"Ben's, he got s-shot in the chest when we managed to get away."
"Get away from what?"
"Providence."
Rex's face paled when I told him. I looked down in shame, in shame that I didn't know where Ben was.
I felt a hand on my head and looked up to find that Rex was rubbing my head with a slight smile.
'Don't be so hard on yourself, we know where Ben is."
"You do?"
"Yeah, and he's safe, we'll go and get him once we're ready to leave."
Relief flooded my body and I slumped down onto Rex again. He's safe, I'll be able to see him again.
"Come on, why don't you go take a shower and get out of those clothes."
I nodded my head and he helped me onto my feet. I walked down the hall and into the shower. Where I stripped off my stiff bloody clothes. Good thing they are black or I wouldn't be able to use them again.
I stepped into the shower and I saw my green and red blood wash down the drain. Gingerly, I reached over my shoulder and felt the wound.
It was already healed and was a little bit tender. This is going to leave a scar, but it'll just be an addition to my collection.
I stepped out of the shower and got dressed. Once I was done, I walked out to the living room.
Everyone was there waiting for me. Kevin stood up when I walked in.
"Now that Igris is here, let's call Azmuth."
I looked at Rex and he looked to be equally confused.
"Who is Azmuth?"
"He's the creator of Tennyson's watch, the Omnitrix, right now, Ben is with him."
I felt relief flood my body once again and Rex looked like he had the same feeling.
Kevin opened up him plumbers badge and a hologram appeared. Then a figure appeared as well. It was a small grey alien with green and black robes. It had a wrinkly face with eyes that were spaced far apart.
"I suspected you would be calling soon. Young Tennyson is here healing in one of our medical chambers."
"Why is he in there?"
"Beats the heck out of me, the Omnitrix programming sent him here to Primus when he was close to death."
"What!"
Ben's mom explode with worry when she heard that her son was close to death.
"For now, he's doing fine, he's woken up a couple of times, he got a nasty infection for a little bit but we were able to get rid of it after a couple of days. At the moment, he is simply healing and getting the rest he needs."
"Can we see him?"
We all agreed with Gwen and persisted that he shows us Ben.
"Fine, he's not awake at the moment, but you can see him."
The hologram flickered for a little bit before a tube appeared on the hologram.
There we could see Ben in the tube. He had a pair of shorts on but that was it. He had a breathing mask on and a clear cover over his eyes. He was loosely tied down.
On his chest, we could see the burns and wound that came from the gun. They were already almost healed but it is going to definitely leave a scar.
Thankfully, the image was too blurry for everyone to see the scars on his legs.
"As you can see, he's asleep right now and is healing very well.
I turned and walked out of the room to the garage. I heard Rex following behind me.
"What are you doing?"
"Come on, we have to train."
"For what."
"To end this once and for all."
I heard Rex stop in his tracks for a little bit and then continued to follow me.
"Good, they just messed with the wrong person."
