A/N Hello again all you Killjoys and Zone runners, let's go check up on Kobra and Ghoul

Chapter 10

Fun Ghouls POV

Kobra hasn't been right since he was thrown back into our cell. He left kicking and screaming and came back pale and shaking. He won't tell me what they did but it's gotta be bad, he won't eat and the dark bruises on his wrists aren't getting any better. When I first tried to talk to him he wouldn't even respond, just sat in the corner, when I next tried he mumbled some stuff and went back to the eerie silence. Now, I finally got him to talk again and eat a little, he had said that he didn't want whatever they had done to be brought up again. What kind of trauma did they put him through? At least I know that he didn't tell them anything, if he did Korse would either be here to rub it in our faces or we'd be being publicly executed right now.

"Just eat a little more; you're going to make yourself sick if you don't." I probably had said that a thousand times to him now but it's all I had without being forceful. Probably sound like his mother right now…

"I'll eat when I feel like it." He said in a low growl, I sighed and pushed the tray of food closer to him then did my best to scoot away across the hard floor.

"How's your leg?" Kobra says quietly, it took me a second to answer considering he hadn't tried to talk to me since they had taken him.

"Well, to be honest, it hurts like hell. Even after the Better Living cronies wrapped it up."

"Yeah well you did get shot." He remarks back, I didn't even care that it was tinged with sarcasm. I was just glad he was talking again.

"Dracs are bastards." I said back, he sighs at the last part and I look over to him.

"Yeah they are, I'd love to just kill em all."

I nod and laugh a little, "We're going to be able to soon, Party and Jet have to be close now."

"They better be I don't know how much longer I can stay in here." He almost sounds okay again. I start to say something but the words stop in my throat. The sound of the locks clicking open makes me stop. Kobra tenses up and stares intently at the door, he must be remembering the last time that happened. The door swings open but we're not greeted by the black and white masked dracs, a kid stumbles into the room yelling.

"LET ME OUT OF HERE! LET GO OF ME!" He yells, clawing at the dracs who dump him in the room then quickly leave. He stops and stares at the door, not moving. Kobra helps me stand up and walk/limp over to him; I realize I don't know what to say so I stay general. The Dracs probably came unexpectedly and scooped him up out of one of the zones; he's young and is covered in black and dark purple.

"Hey, your in-" I start to say but the boy violently turns around looking at me, eyeing my hurt leg.

"I know where I am." He says plainly.

"Good. Well, Since we're not getting out of this cell for a while we might as well know each other." I shrug, "I'm Fun Ghoul." When I say my name his eyes widen, I glance over at Kobra.

"That must mean you're Kobra kid." He says regaining himself. Kobra draws himself up, looking defensive.

"How do you know -" Kobra says with an edge in his voice, the boy smirks as he cuts him off.

"My friend Crash Kat and I have been helping you brother and his friend get to you guys, I guess something good came out of the Dracs showing up."

Kobra and I don't say anything for a moment, I knew that Party and Jet would be coming but it was different hearing it out loud.

"You've been with Party and Jet!" I finally answer, doing my best not to let the relief and happiness show through.

"They're close, I'm Dark Memento."

"Well it seems you know who we are, so uh nice to meet you." I nod then walk limp to the wall so I can sit back down on my hard bed in the corner. We have four so we should be covered with that now that there are three of us. Kobra seemed to have relaxed a little and was standing talking to Dark.

"Party and Jet are fine, if not a little worried about you guys, and by a little I mean party's a little overly worried." He says, "Party did get skimmed in the hand by a ray gun laser," Kobra's eyes widen and Dark quickly adds "He's fine though, got his hand all wrapped up. How long have you guys been here?"

"A few days, it's a little hard to keep track in here." Kobra says flatly.

"Told you we should have kept tally when we got here." I add into the conversation. Pushing my black hair out of my face, I had lain down on my bed facing the ceiling.

"Bite me." Kobra says back sarcastically and I laugh to myself turning to face my blond friend. Dark and him had both moved by the wall and had sat down opposite of me and had been talking for a while.

"Nah, you'd like it." I say still laughing a little.

"Asshole." He mumbles and goes back to talking with Dark. Good, now that Kobra knows his brother is okay I hope that will ease the pain of whatever they did to him earlier. He's almost back to himself, the quiet, few smiles, Kobra Kid. I begin to think about Party and Jet; they're actually okay and on their way here. How the hell are they even going to get in? Questions start to flood my brain as I think about all the things that could go wrong: All the what ifs that cross my mind make my stomach hurt. They will be fine, jet and Party are smart, and they'll find a way.
