Chapter 7 - Held Captive

(Name) put her finger on her chin, and her other hand on her elbow, as if she were pondering. She had no clue as to where the Titans wanted to go, so she could not estimate where they actually went. Newton, on the other hand, loved watching (Name) think. It made him think that she was intelegant, and he thought it wouldn't be so bad if he didn't go solo anymore. He wanted to work with (Name), and not use her. He liked being around her, and frankly, she liked being around him too.

The two felt their legs shake as the ground started shuffling in all directions, swaying them back and forth, barely keeping their balance. A mountain started to split, right down the middle. They coudn't tell what it was from a distance, but it looked like a Laboratory. (Name) and Newton agreed that they should investigate the mountain, even though it might be a long journey towards it. They started walking

"How close...do you think... We... Are?" (Name) panted.

" We are about a fourth of the way there, just hold on tight. We'll be there before you know it."
They were still climbing the crumbling, rocky part of the mountain, and when they tried to look up to see how close they are, they only saw clouds, not a sky in sight.
(Name) started to get cold as she heard a stern solid cruch of fluffiness under her shoes. She looked down to find herself standing in ice cold snow.
After a while (name) got a chill from all of the wind and raw snow rubbing up against her, along with the struggling to climb the slippery, frozen, no path to actually follow, steep, mountain.
" N-n-n-Newton... I-I-I'm get-t-ting pr-pr-pretty c-c-c-old." (Name) said, almost breaking her teeth. (Name) paused her shaky walking, and fell to her knees, trying to impact to get warmer. Even thought the whole bottom part of her leg was now covered in snow, she felt a little warmer. Just a little, not really that much.
Newton looked back at (name) and saw how much pain she was in. " This is no good, now is it? " Newton wasn't that cold, at all, because in Bunkum, physics are kinda weird, but he generates his own heat...cause he's a light. Newton went over to (Name) and helped her up. He opened up his velvet coat(didn't take it off)and wrapped it around (name) cuddling her, trying to make her warmer with his heat. (Name) didn't react emotionally, instead she just thought it was a kind gesture, along with the thought of brain freeze and tingling pain of numbness.
Newton helped her up the rest of the way, he didn't want for her to be in pain. He felt what she felt.

~~~TimeSkip~~~

"(Name), we're here. It's actually quite warm." Newton began to unwrap her when she quickly tugged on his coat as if she were saying, ' please don't take it off,' Understanding what she was trying to say, he kept her wrapped in his coat.
They walked around a bit to examine the test bottles and tubes leading from place to place, filled with different colors of what seemed to be a liquid substance. (Name) saw the torn out picture taped to the wall, quite visible.(name) quickly dashed to the drawing, getting out of Newton's coat.
Newton came over to see what the problem was. He peeked over (name)'s shoulder, and saw the picture. (Name) didn't hear Newton come over and flinched when she felt him behind her. She quickly turned around, hiding the page behind her, already knowing he saw it.

"(Name)...why didn't you tell me you were a test subject?"

(Name) remembered the torture, pain, horror, fear... And burst into tears. She felt the wetness dripping down her cheeks, making her fabric a little darker every time a tear passed. She didn't know what to say, because words couldn't describe what she was thinking. She draped her arms around Newton's shoulders, hugging him tight. He was a bit surprised at first, but then he looked at the picture that she had dropped, and thought that that must have been awful. He started to feel bad for her, and he wrapped his arms around her, and stroked her hair. (Name) felt good in the arms of someone she trusted. She already knew that she liked him from the game...but this was the real him. She knew that this was happening to no one else in the whole world. She kept trying to think about that positive thought, but her negative drawing thought over took the positive one, and she shed a new set of tears. They didn't let go of each other.

" Are you alright (name)? Is there anything I can do for you?"

She didn't reply, just squeezed him tighter, and then said,
" we should probably focus on why we came here. So, they took my...ehem...page, and we found it in this weird place, so they must be here." Newton was about to say something when he saw a crack in the ground, right under (name)'s feet, and it was getting bigger. They both felt more shaking, but this time, it was over powered. "(Name)!" Newton exclaimed. He quickly pushed (name) to the other side of the crack. It grew until it split the lab in two, (name) on one side, and Newton on the other, all of the experiments falling into the gap, and broken glass everywhere.The gap was to big to jump. They both looked down the crack and saw a orange-red tinted light getting brighter and brighter. It looked like a liquid. It was lava.
It came up quite fast, and the two got away from the gap as quickly as possible, but they couldn't go far, because the quake made the mountain to steep. The lava yet again, made the ground shake, coming out of the gap. The thing is, is that it didn't spill outwards, but it kept going strait up. It kept growing until it looked like it had a head, two arms, and two legs. It looked alive, and sure enough-
"WHERE IS THE PUPPET?"
It said in a distorted, ratchet, soul tearing voice. It was the Titans. The thing looked around for what it was searching for, and stared at Newton. He was trembling in fear, for one touch of that thing could kill him on the spot. Sure enough, it reached its big dripping hand out for Newton, and picked him up in a fist, making sure he couldn't get out. Newton was in tremendous pain, but he didn't seem to be dead. The Titans didn't want to kill him, they just want to watch him suffer. Why kill him and let him go to wonderful heaven, when they could do the honors them selves by torturing him. Slowly. Painfully.
"NOOOO! NEWTON!!!"

" augh, tssssh, AAAAH, PLEASE, AAAAAGH.THIS...augh...IS TOO PAINFUL."
The Titan brought him to the center of the world, held captive.
