Chapter IX: Cannibals

Sam started to open her eyes, her sight was still blurred and her hearing was being muffled. As the symptoms started to disappear, she could make out a sound, it started to become clearer, Sam. Someone was calling her, but who, the voice was recognizable, she looked up and saw a figure, as the symptoms disappeared completely, she could make out the image and the voice, it was Danny.

Sam looked around; they were in some sort of village, there were houses made of straw and vines, there were people around them, covered with paint and tribal outfits, and were speaking some weird language, but it sounded familiar, Sam looked at Danny, it didn't look like these people did anything to him, but he still looked like a captive.

Sam looked beside her to see Tucker, Jack and Maddie also tied up, and starting to recover. As soon as they did they all looked to Danny.

"Danny, you're alive" said Tucker.

"For now"

"What do you mean for now?"

"We're still in danger"

"On a scale of one to ten, with one being The Box Ghost, and ten being, we're not getting out of this alive, how much danger are we in"

"On that scale…eight"

"Danny, are you okay, what's going on who are these people?" asked Maddie.

"Yes I'm fine, again for now and…how do I put this in the least freighting way possible, alright I'll just say it…these people are cannibals"

"What?" the four of them said in unison.

"Well look around, notice things around here are made of bone and human skulls, and if you need more convincing, they're cooking someone over there, don't look"

Just then, one of the tribesman walked up, they looked like they held some power, they were covered in bright paint and wore a weird hat made of bones, not to mention one of his eyes was completely white, he started talking to Danny.

"Via moŝto, kiel vi povas vidi nian ĉasi estis benita, ĉu ni prepari la festenon"

"Neniu Mi diris al vi neniam kuiri homoj denove, ĝi estas naŭza, vi devas liberigi ilin" said Danny.

Sam looked at Jack and Maddie, who were just equally confused. Sam thought the language sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was or where she heard it from.

"Danny you can understand him?" asked Maddie.

"Yeah, they're speaking Esperanto" said Tucker.

"Esperanto?"

"Yeah, it's another language that is mostly found in some parts of Europe, East Asia and South America, there is evidence that proves that learning it may provide a superior foundation to learning other languages, there are a couple ghosts on Danny's side, one of them called Wulf"

"Oh, now I remember where I heard this before" said Sam.

"Wulf is almost like a werewolf, but he's full time wolf, he can uses his claws to literally tear into our world, in other words he can create ghost portals, he only speaks Esperanto, me and Danny have been learning it, we're not perfect but close"

"Ok well what are they saying, not all of us can speak or understand it" asked Sam.

"He's saying that they captured us on their hunt, and want to cook us in a feast for Danny's honor, Danny is saying don't cook humans and is trying to get them to free us, my guess is that they think Danny is some sort of God because of his powers"

"Danny, why don't you just fly us out of here?" asked Jack.

"I can't with my hands tied" said Danny, showing his hands tied together with some of the vines from the plant he encountered earlier.

"Why don't you just phase through them, or break them?"

"I really don't want to do that if I don't have to, this was taken from some, man eating plant I encountered earlier, and it's filled with some kind of corrosive juice that seems to only affect Ectoplasm"

"So why not turn human?"

"Same thing, I still have Ectoplasm in me when I'm human, it won't hurt as much, but then I have to change back to escape, plus now you guys showed up and I have to get you out of here too"

"Ok but if they think your some sort of god, why are you being restrained"

"Because they're planning to sacrifice me, don't worry I have a plan, they're going to take you to their cages, they're made of bone, Dad you can probably break them, once you out, get back to the area where you shot the flare, yes I saw it, I'll be along shortly, if I can distract them, you should be able to escape"

"Sounds like a lot or work" said Tucker.

"Well it beats the alternative" said Sam.

"Mi ne volas diri al vi denove, metis ilin en la kaĝo, nun fari ĝin" said Danny to the tribesman.

"Metis ilin en la kaĝo" he yelled to the people.

With that they grabbed the four of them and started to take them away, they looked back at Danny, who was giving them a reassuring look. They knew he knew what he was doing, but they were still worried, and the fact that it was almost dusk, in an hour or two it would be night.

Danny watched as his friends and family were taking away, he knew they could handle themselves, but he was still worried about them. He turned his head to see one of the cannibals walk towards him with a longer vine, it was time, Danny just hoped, nothing would go wrong.


Ok I will have an outro here, belive it or not, Espernto is a real language, and it is used in someparts of South America, and I used Google translate for this English into it, sorry if grammer is not all corect but I try to make my stories as accurate and realistic as I can, I always do reserch before writing, please review
