I loved writing this chapter so much! Finally stuff is happening!
Reviewers:
wordjumble29: Thanks! And sorry for the late update, but at least it's here now! Hope you enjoy!
IronFistRocks: Nice. Thanks for reviewing, and I think you'll like this chapter!
TheImmortalWeapon: Thanks for telling me! He's not in this chapter, but when he shows up again I'll try to do him better. I forgot that it was Danny's dad that fought Davos. As far as Davos' father, I knew he took in Danny, and so I figured that Davos would have been a little jealous even though he would have been a lot older. And I've tried to get comic apps but they haven't been working for me. But like I said, thank you for telling me so I can make it better! And I'm glad you liked the chapter anyway! I took into account your point about Danny punching down the door, and the reason why he can't will be revealed later.
Far's pov
Danny and Mira spoke quietly to each other while I sat on the floor. Yup, just call me third wheel. The moans from the other chamber escaped their metal confines, painful reminders of our situation.
If their sickness doesn't get us first, we'll all go insane.
"Yo, fearless leader, you wanna punch the door down?" I asked Danny sarcastically, but my heart wasn't in it. My face just didn't want to make any expression other than fear. Great.
"I already tried," Danny muttered, but he got up anyway. His fists glowed and he pounded them into the door. Nothing.
Danny sat back down.
"Ok, perfect. How 'bout you witch?" I turned to Mira. She scoffed and closed her eyes in concentration. She rubbed her hands together, emanating a slight, purplish light.
A purple energy blast shot at the door. The door didn't even shake. The purple light moved to the hinges.
She's trying to...break them?
They rattled, and my face lit up for a second before Mira's eyes burst open and she was on the floor gasping for breath. Danny rubbed her back as the glow faded.
"Far, can you freeze the hinges?" She asked.
"Uh...won't that make it worse?"
"Oh yeah, I guess."
We sat there, trying not to look in the direction of the other chamber. Trying not to breathe too deeply. Trying to be calm. Or at least I did.
"I'm going to close the other door," I said, giving myself something to do.
I walked over to it, eyes going to the prisoners.
"Actually, I might quickly check in here. There might be something we can use," I said. Danny and Mira's faces both read the same: be careful.
I forced a smile and slipped into the room. Their screams hit me.
"Help us!"
"Find the king!"
"Get away! Stay away!"
"Hungry!"
"Help!"
"Save us! Please!"
My heart shifted. They were monsters. I saw a thin line running through a corner of glass.
"Is that...?"
A crack!
I crouched down and ran a finger over the crack. A miniscule piece of glass flaked away. I pressed a hand against it. And another, tinier hand pressed against the opposite side.
"Whoa!" I yelped. A little girl was on the other side of the glass, staring at me with giant, milky eyes.
"Where's my mommy?" She whispered, a smile cracking through her face.
I shook my head. She pressed harder on the glass. A few more flakes chipped off. I couldn't move.
"Can you find me?" She asked in a hushed tone.
"I don't know..." I stuttered. "What happened to all of you?"
"Men take us from mommies and mommies from dens! The last I saw her, they said she was dead!" Her crazed giggling pierced my thoughts. An enormous smile was still splitting her face in half.
I felt her flesh graze my hand. A sick moan escaped my lips as I looked in horror, to see her poking my hand through a hole in the glass. I shrieked and pulled my hand away, staring at it like it had betrayed me.
"No..." I muttered.
"Far! Are you okay in there?" Mira's voice spurred me to action. I jumped up.
"Men come here to spray us dead, exterminate us from our beds! Can you find me?" The little girl laughed at me. I stumbled into a side wall and felt something hard and circular press against my thigh. It fell in on itself and I realized it was a button.
A greenish gas eked out from the walls behind the glass. The patients moaned and swayed, gasping and choking horribly.
"No! No!"
"Can you find me?" The girl's eyes rolled up in her head as she giggled, she fell back. Suddenly my lungs were on fire. The air was too thick.
The hole! Far! Close the hole you idiot!
I coughed, doubling over.
"Far!" Danny ran in, trying to grab me. I jerked away from him, spinning towards the door and barreling out as fast as I could. I lay there on the floor. Danny and Mira stood around me. The door was now closed.
"What happened! What did you do?" Mira screamed at me. I sucked in the air greedily.
"They're dying..." I choked out.
"We know Far, they're sick," Danny said very slowly.
"No...I'm killing them..." I said. They exchanged concerned looks. Mira tried putting her hand on my shoulder but I squirmed away from her.
"This place...the gas..." I mumbled. I remembered the girl's words.
Men take us...
"They put people here against their wills. They steal them from their homes!"
Men spray us...
My eyes widened.
"What is it Far?" Danny asked gently.
"Dudes...this is a concentration camp..."
So there it is! Far has made contact with a patient! And the truth about the camp is revealed! Please review! And anyway...
Wolf out...
