But today I found out that they want me, well, the whole year back in school tomorrow, for some Welsh Activities day, and to say our final goodbye's to the HeadMaster. I've said my goodbye, at least three times now.
I'm not going in though. I've got work to do in the house, and then there's the fact that I just can't be bothered.
I've also finished the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm starting the second season now. I forgot how diverse the series was. You've got to take everything into perspective here. Of course, some of the dialogue is a bit cliche, but it's a children's series, what do you expect?
I think the whole thing that attracts me to it, is how diverse the series is. How imaginative it is. You've got to look at it from that perspective. The creators of the show have made their own world up and it's so believable. Everything that happens, more or less, makes sense. It's a great series all 'round. Maybe they'll make more episodes of it now that it's got the movie.
Meh, I don't know.
So here's the next chapter of Do You Remember Me? There's no Danny in this chapter for a reason. It's a lot shorter too because I didn't know what else to say. I think the next few chapters should be pretty epic though. Well, hopefully. They sound epic in my head...
Chapter 14
“I wonder where Danny is.” A voice of a girl asked. The room was dark, making it hard to see. If you looked hard enough you would be able to distinguish two body’s on the floor. A male and a female. Their features are hard to see. But both look thin and weak. Like they haven’t eaten properly in a while.
“I’m not sure. I hope it’s not too bad. I hope their treating him okay. They only ever took him out of the room when they really wanted to beat him.” The male replied.
“Don’t say that.”
“I’m not trying to say anything. You wanted to know where he was, and I replied. You know how things got when he was taken out of his cell.”
“I know. I just don’t like it.”
“It’s okay. We’re together, and I know people are still looking for us. We have to have hope.”
“Don’t get too optimistic, we must be pretty far out of looking range if we haven’t been found.” Silence ensued as the duo were lost to their thought. Their thoughts clouded of worry for their lost friend.
A door creaked open.
“Danny?” The female asked.
“Take another guess.” A strong male voice replied. He walked carrying two trays. Unidentifiable objects on the two trays. It was food, but old food, food that had been kept for too long and was beginning to go mouldy.
The man placed the food down on the floor outside the cage and kicked it through the little hatch at the end of the bars, effectively making sure more than half the food ended up on the floor. “Oops.” The man said before cackling and walking away.
“What have you done to Danny?” The girl shouted, but it was futile as the man ignored her and walked away.
“I want him back, Jesse. I want him to be safe.”
“I know. And he will be safe. I know it. Don’t worry so much, Hayley. You should worry about us too, we’re in the same situation.”
From the moment Simon Morgan had discovered that his classmate Danny Smith had been found, he did not know how to act.
Danny Smith had been his bully buddy. In other words, Simon took all his anger out on the guy. He was still oblivious to the fact that what he was doing was cruel and wrong, but being on the higher end of the social hierarchy meant no one cared to tell him. That or they were too scared to tell him.
So when he found out he was still alive, made him confused. He didn’t know what was going to happen now. He’d heard on the news that he’d lost his memory. That worked in his favour, as now, Danny, did not remember him, or his bullying. But then the word ‘torture’ had come into play.
He knew that meant he wasn’t going to be able to touch him without a teacher in surveillance.
Simon thought it sad really, that the three social losers had become part of the highest of the social hierarchy after they’d gone missing. Nearly everyone in the school had gone looking for them. Everyone in the school was definitely talking about them.
Simon remembered vividly the day they went missing.
They were on a camping trip, with the school. It was decently local campsite. An hour or two down the road. It was an old school campsite, used by many schools across America. Though less commonly used now, due to larger holidays. Better holidays becoming available to students.
It was tradition to take the Junior’s on this camp trip. A reward, so to say, for lasting two years in the school. A ‘Congratulations! You’ve made it halfway through the best days of your life’ thing.
Simon knew he was going to hate it from the beginning. His mother, Andrea, had forced him to go. Claiming it to be a good place for him to sort his life out and think a bit on his future, now that it was that much closer.
Being a town that was constantly under attack from supernatural forces, mainly shapeshifters and magicians, Simon didn’t really expect to have much of a future the way it was going currently.
It had been a week at the campsite when they’d woken up to find the trio missing. The trio of friends were inseparable. A factor that Simon had unknowingly envied, subconsciously knowing that his friends were only his friends because his higher status in the high school. Both of their cabins had been ransacked. Danny and Jesse sharing a cabin, and Hayley sharing a cabin with Georgie, a friend of Simons. They both hated each other, apparently. Though in middle school, they too had been friends. Who wasn’t friends with each other in middle school, in any case?
Georgie remembers vaguely something happening. She claims to have seen Danny Istari fighting battle with someone she did not recognize. Not many words were exchanged, he lost. He was captured by the other magician, man, Georgie didn’t remember.
One thing Simon, himself, couldn’t wrap his mind around, was why? Why would someone, a magician, want to kidnap those three? If they weren’t noticed in school, why would they be noticed by them?
Simon, though he wouldn’t admit it, had spent hours trying to think of possibilities of why someone would want to kidnap them of all people. What is this person benefiting from taking them?
Another thing he didn’t understand was what the person was benefiting from just letting one of them go? It confused him.
He’d probably never understand why either, it was just one of those things in the world that you were never going to understand.
“So, are things going to plan?” A voice purred.
“It’s slow. He doesn’t believe.” Another male voice added.
“Of course he doesn’t believe. He has no reason to believe.”
“Sir, I apologize. Is there anything I can do?” the voice was hesitant. He did not want to disappoint.
“No. He might now be warming up to the idea, but he’s determined to find out where his friends are. Everything will work out in the end.”
“Right. The other two are still clueless. They still think we have him.”
“Good. Maybe a little nudge in the right direction will help him understand who he truly is.”
“I don’t understand, sir.”
“Of course, you don’t. You are merely a pawn. Find a weak one. Send him to battle the boy. He’ll understand.” Even though the room was dark, the underling could feel the smirk of his master before him.
“Right. I’ll get right on it.”
“Good, we are making progress indeed.” The man paused for effect “Soon, Danny, you will be mine. You will not stand to me. I can smell your loss already.” Soon enough, an evil cackle followed the underling out of the room as he went in search of a weak one, as his master had ordered.
“Soon.” The master whispered. Now the fun was starting.
So there you go.
Hope you all enjoyed. Not that anyone reads my stuff in the first place, but, oh well.
Night!
