I dedicate this chapter to GeekyGirl0629!
For being so AWESOME!
I lifted my head slowly and opened my eyes. My vision was foggy, but I could see bars of metal in front of my face. I was in a cell. I sat up and looked around. I was in a corner, and my traveling group was sitting around a set of trays and whispering.
"Where are we?" I asked. When I got no response, I suspected they didn't hear me, but Chet soon came over with a tray of food.
"You're awake, good." he said, "Here, you should eat." he handed me the tray, "It's not much, but that's all any of us got."
I took the food. "It's enough, thank you." I took bite out of the stale bread, "And sorry, for making that Cyclops, you know, drop you on your head."
He laughed silently. "that's about the nicest thing that happened to me today. I only wish he had dropped me later so I wouldn't have woken up, swinging and upside-down in a monster's hand."
"Well, sorry for that.' I giggled, "Next time I'll make sure you fall harder."
"Thank you."
We sat like that for a while, eating, and enjoying the presence of one another.
"Come on," Chet suddenly said, moving away from me, let's get to the others."
I walked with him, but when we were about to get there, a relatively small (for a Cyclops) Cyclops came bounding to the cell door.
"Work time!" he hollered a us. "All tiny people get out here!"
We all walked slowly out of the cell, all trembling in fear of the large beast. Well, almost all. When Calder walked out of the cell he was as stiff as a board, not showing any fear.
He's probably being brave for Winter. I thought, looking at the trembling Winter clutching his arm beside him.
"All humans follow One-eyenees-" he pointed to a dark brown-skinned Cyclops to the right.
One-eyenees? Weird name.
"-to be assigned to your Cyclops master."
Before we could resist, One-eyenees clasped chains around our legs and led us to another room. It was large, filled with dark-skinned Cyclopes, and was filled with the rancid smell of man-smell mixed with really bad man smell, yeah, it wasn't fun. Slowly, we each got put with random Cyclopes. Chet first, and then Calder. Soon it was just me and Winter.
"You two will serve Big Cyclops Boss." One-eyenees boomed.
He brought us to a large room, pushed us in, and locked the door. The room was filled with gold and food of all kinds. It was like the throne room of a wealthy king. It would've been beautiful, if not for the monster sitting in what would be the throne.
"Hello, puny people!" greeted the monster.
Oh geez. I thought
It was the Cyclops that brought us here in the first place.
I could tell Winter recognized him too, because her expression of fear hardened into one of anger. She started forward, and only her chain, which was connected to me, held her back. Though the Cyclops obviously knew that we despised him, he just smiled, probably finding us entertaining.
This was going to be a long day.
I know it's short, but I wanted to get more into Winter, since she's been getting really short chapters.
Sorry, I didn't have time to read any reviews.
