Chapter 7: the dark place known as hell

3rd person's pov

Kowalski and rico, plus Marlene landed in a dark land. It had a computer in the corner. The screen shows New York, but in daytime. "Where is this place" Marlene asked Kowalski. "This is my home- also known as hell" Kowalski told her.

"Hell" she shouted. "Yes this is where I was raised and lived in for 16 years" Kowalski said basking in memories. "That's so sad" she said looking down. "Well one tends to overlook fire and darkness once in a while" Kowalski said going to the computer screen.

"Well if you want you could tell me your problems; maybe I could help" Marlene offered. "All right well I feel that nothing in my life is real" he said.

"There's always something holding me down" Kowalski said. "Well skipper might be a good leader, but he lacks in trust" Kowalski said. "That's all I really wanted was trust" he said looking down to the ground.

"I thought if I was in the real world I would learn to be happy" Kowalski said. "I wanted three things I could never get down here" Kowalski said looking up to the roof of hell.

"What were those things" Marlene asked. "Trust, happiness, and love" Kowalski answered. "Oh you poor tormented soul" Marlene said. Rico looked confused over this, but he liked where this was going. Kowalski put his head in his flippers, and silently cried.

Rico smiled, and untied Marlene. Marlene sent him her thank you look. Rico then went into the other room, and shut the door. Marlene went over to Kowalski, and put her arms around him.

Kowalski looked up into her face. Tears streamed down his cheeks. "I trust you" Marlene said lightly to him. Kowalski felt happiness bubble inside him. Was this all he really needed? Marlene held him tight, and sung a soft song to him.

Kowalski felt himself feel warm again. She hushed him, and he fell asleep. Rico smiled as he looked through the other room. Finally someone had been nice to Kowalski after all his years.
