Chapter start!

Cole awoke to a pain in his back, either from what just happened, or the fact he was lieing on a stone floor.

Not any stone floor, a wet one.

He sat up slowly, placing a hand to his head, looking down at himself, all he had, was his cream colored t-shirt, his pants, and a pair of slippers.

His jacket, bag, bandana and boots where gone.

Looking around the room, he saw a single cot, a folded blanket, a bucket, a small window with bars on it, and when he looked behind him; bards leading to a prison.

Coles eyes widened as he made his way up to standing, but fell from his own weight.

He looked at the ground, breathing hard, he felt like lead and weaker than grass, all of his energy was doing, was keeping him awake.

He took another look around, looking into the other prisoners cells.

He could see each cell had three walls of brick, and one of bars, every other cell had a window, so he got lucky getting one.

Cole coughed, the air was hot, but smelled of sea water. He made his way to the cot. The small cell was easy to get around, but claustrophobic to say the least.

After getting to it, he took the blanket and curled up in it.

He thought to himself, inspecting the room...

The his memory flooded back to him...

"Emmy..." he breathed as tears started to flow out of his eyes, he started to try and catch them with the blanket, but the kept rolling down his face.

"This is all my fault..."

He sat there for hours before a guard strolled past, "oh crap, your awake, I'll go get you some food" he spoke turning, and running down the hall.

Cole didn't bother to look up, his eyes where bagged and tired.

The man came back with a bowl of soup, "it's not much, but hey, it's got REAL meat today!" He smiled big, as he did a green dog walked up next to him.

Cole rolled his head to see the tall, red haired guard, the dog next to him was a grass wolf.

Cole blinked, a memory flashed in his mind;

A younger version of Cole, around the age of 7 Sat in Roses lap as they read a book, she spoke softly, and kindly; "the island of Faith, known for their prison, protected my a serpent in the sea around it, protecting its people. The serpent isn't the only protector, each of the natives from Faith get a guardian grass wolf, a being of the grand fields only found upon that island, these wolves only live as long as their other half." The boy smiled "that's cool!" He giggled up to Rose.

Cole blinked back to reality, "are we on Faith island?" He asked the guard.

The man seemed shocked, "yeah, I'm guessing Truffle here gave that away" he laughed, "here's your soup" the man smiled, placing the bowl on Cole's bed.

The man gave a small laugh before leaving, like he wanted to say something, but didn't.

"Thanks" Cole muttered taking the soup, and eating it slowly...

"If I want to get revenge for Emmy... then, I will gave to get my strength back..."

~~~...~~~

Daisy sighed, her back was agents the wall of a cell, she was also in the Faith island prison, but she was near the bottom floor.

The cell next to her was actually Jaylen and Hectors...

They didn't have a window...

"Hector?" She asked.

"Daisy" I small somber voice came back.

"How are you both?" She pulled herself into a ball...

"He still won't answer..." his voice strained...

Jaylen had gone silent after that night, he couldn't bear with it, and Hector was left alone.

They even took their glasses!

It had been a few days since being placed in there, and it was still, and stagnate.

~~~...~~~

Gil sighed, he and Rita where at a completely different prison, they where both placed under the highest security, and place on opposite sides of the prison.

Gil had both arms chained to the wall, both legs had 50 pounded balls chained to them.

The cell had nothing else in it, not even a window, the door was metal with a small sliding window to peek in on him.

Gils ears perked up when he hear muffled voices; "this it?" A gruff one asked, "y-yes sir!" A squeaky one spoke.

The door opened, and blinding light filled the room, Gil looked up, blinded for a moment, but say a hook...

He followed the hook up hits arm, and to a face.

"Trials?" He asked.

The man smiled, "Well Gilbert!" He looked the young adult up and down, "how far you've fallen, sadly I couldn't be there to see it happen, but now, I'm here, and I can do whatever I want with you, maybe I should take your hand" his smile grow with that thought.

Gils eyes narrowed.

"Or maybe I should take a leg! Or both hands!"

Gil looked up to meet his eyes slowly, then said, in a calm, collected and angered voice.

"You cut anything off, I cut your head off"

Captain trials only feared for a second, "not if I cut all of them off"

The now crazyed Captain started giggling as he pulled his blade out, stepping closer and closer to Gil.

Behind him, the hallway lit up with light and screaming.

The mad man stopped and turned, just in time for the door to melt, revealing an angered Rita.

"Finally" she breathed, "that took forever."

"Hi Rita"

"Hello Gilbert~"

Captain trials looked at her angrily, "how did you escape?" He hissed.

Rita laughed slightly, "you think covering Me, with Ice, could stop me? I work with Gil! Come on!"

Rita placed a hand on the ground, melting the floor under the Captains feet, he fell, and fell and fell. She had been on all the floors under this one, and created holes in all of them.

She rushed over to Gil, freeing him, he laughed, "how long did that plan take you..?" She shrugged "5 hours, I'm surprised no one noticed!" Rita laughed back.

"So, what where you two talking about?" She helped him up, "the fact I cut his hand off, he wanted me to get mine chipped off too" he sighed.

"Come on, we have to save the others..." Rita muttered, slightly carrying Gil.

Her cell was covered in ice, but that was it, she could move around, Gil hasn't moved in a week, along with his arms held above his head, they were numb.

"This isn't over"

Chapter End!

Yay, Rita to the rescue!

And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Silvia, Ryan and Ralph!

Until later!~
