Sakura's Journey Chapter 11 Johnny's Adventure Begins.
I showed up at that fancy big old house in the west part of town as I often did when my son was here. Tom was waiting for me. He'd take me to the forest, then, I'd be on my own. Me and Tom had both agreed that I was the one who should go, seeing as the animals needed him at the clinic. We couldn't call for the cops either, what would we say? "Hey dudes, our kids were kidnapped by men in black suits because his daughter is a supernatural being with tentacles out of her back." I doubt that would go too well. My wife was in the passenger seat, looking out the window, tears still streaming down her cheeks. Despite being so destroyed, she was still beautiful. I looked down to her belly, having only ressently found out that we were going to have a second child. All the more reasons for me to go out and find my first one. We parked the car and got out, me going to my old pal to shake his hand. I saw it in his blue eyes that he had cried a lot. I did too... They say men don't cry... That's a lie. Sarah and Angie would stay here for a bit and Tom would teleport me to the closets place to the forest he could. We were great friends and all, having gotten to know each other better through out the years, but he still freaked me out whenever he did...whatever the heck it is slenders do.
"So Johnny, you ready?" I looked over my supplies. I had water bottles, bread, crackers, cookies, beef jerky, some cans of soup...yeah I was good. I nodded, not really looking at him. I was curious about one thing though. "So, when I find them...how do I get out?" His eyes widened and he quickly dug through his pockets, pulling out an old walkie-talkie looking thing. "When you find them, get to some place high up. Sakura might climb up a tree with this if you want it to work better. Turn it on and call for me. I'll be at the place where I dropped you off in the first place. You should try to find landmarks to get back there." I nodded. "Then I'm ready." I went to say goodbye to Angie one last time for I don't know how long, kissed her with as much passion as I could and stood back next to Tom. The already tall man changed to his even taller and somewhat freaky form. He wrapped a few of those black tentacles around my arm, giving me shivers of discomfort. Next thing I knew, I felt this weird numb and tingly sensation and we were standing at the edge of a massive forest, in a little picnic area by a stream. The faceless man looked down to me. "I went here for a picnic once a few years back. This is where I'll come get you when you find them." I saw him hesitate on the word "when". I gave him a determined look and boldly grabbed his arm. I never reached up to him in slender form normally. "I WILL find them. I promise you, Sarah, Angie and my unborn child that I'll come back with the kids." He gave me a brave smirk and nodded, shaking my hand before he dissapated. I was left alone. I began my long journey through the forest...God I wish I was a survival expert...
(Sakura's P.O.V.)
"Donc vous venez de où?"(So where do you come from?) I looked at the inquisitive little girl and then to Daemon. He was playing with Squible, feeding him some of the little fruits that Janitor Frank had sneaked to us. We weren't supposed to have them... The man was a good person. I turned my attention back to Laurianne and answered her question. "Montréal." Her sparkling blue eyes brightened up instantly. "Moi aussi!" (Me too!) Daemon gave a loud sigh and began to complain again. "I can't understand a word you two are saying!" I smirked at him in a devious way and answered. "Well she can't understand us either when we speak English!" Sometimes I hated being the barrier between two languages... That's when I noticed Frank and Juan coming in the room where the cell was. They remained silent, giving us no attention at all, scanning every detail of the room. They then walked off in silence. This was the third time they did this since we got here...and I don't think it's normal behavior. Laurianne also noticed. I saw her try to stand up and walk, but her long tendrills dragged on the floor and she winced and fell. I went to help her sit up. "Elles sont nouvelles?" (They're new?) She looked into my eyes and nodded, her face showing pain. I didn't know how to help her like my dad had helped me. All I could do was send her static and hope it helped.
Frank returned to the room at what I assumed was supper time to give us food. I decided to talk to him more, but the thought of surveillance cameras made me look around. He must have noticed because he started to chuckle. "Cameras are useless in a facility that deals with slenderfolk. Say whatever you want, nobody's watching except for the living, breathing, organic person that is me." Daemon stood up from his corner, Squible clinging to his slightly-less-than-neon green hair. "What's the deal with this place?" The man glanced at the little girl in the corner, thinking for a bit. He then returned his attention to me, biting the inside of his cheek. "This is a research lab...for studying slenders... they catch them right when they gain their powers, that way it's sure what they are and they're too young to escape. Our first 3 slenders who ever came here were Juan's brother, a little girl and an other boy some time later. All three were normal, or not gifted as you may know. Then there was one who could fade in the shadows for a bit. She managed to hurt a lot of people that day. That's when they came up with the head protection. After, couple days ago, they picked her up." He motioned to Laurianne who looked up from being pointed at, but didn't understand why. I smilled faintly at the innocence in her eyes. "As you can tell, she's got six of them tentacles. The others all had 4 when they were human. They picked her up cuz of that. Then they found you... The oldest slender we ever captured. That's why they've been interested in you. You're an anomalie." I looked down to my hands, willing enough energy to make them go white but not enough to fully change. He looked at me curiously.
That's when I decided to ask what he and Juan were doing since earlier, checking the place out like that. "Isn't it obvious? I'm sick and tired of all this. All these kidnappings and child abuse. I'm busting you five out of here!" I blinked and stepped back in surprise. "We're gonna escape?" The janitor nodded once again. "Yep. You, Daemon, the little girl, Juan and the squirrel. Give us a few days..."
