Down the trouble off we go

Garbage and Pollution

She raced out of the tent. Belladonna followed with her mouth still open at which Charlotte said the anger still sparking in her voice, "close your mouth BB there are mosquitoes around." Causing her to finally close her mouth while David was still looking back at Zhat. The eye-lock was finally broken when Peter shook him. Looking at his face David realized he wasn't the only one who was utterly confused at all that just happened and much to their surprise Belladonna also seemed to be in the same club.
The excitement, nervousness, confusion all was building up in David's mind as he walked in silence with the other three. It seemed that the roaring questions in his mind needed to wait till they were out of their suspicious environment however as soon as they crossed the gates David felt slightly dizzy and was almost about to black out when he heard a scream and saw to his left to find that it belonged to Belladonna. She was touching her head and both of them looked at each other. Even though David didn't felt like he would be able to speak for a while but the gaze that he shared conveyed that he wasn't the only one who experienced it. Peter stood confused between them both while Charlotte stood at a little distance from them. Her face as red as fire. Then after a minute the pain and dizziness vanished just as it had appeared. David felt as if his brain had gone numb for the while that he had that sensation and now it had raced back to life again. Another exchange of looks showed that Belladonna had the same story to tell.
For a while no-one spoke. They all seemed to be taking in fresh air. It felt as if they hadn't done it in a long while. With an unfocused observation of the sun's position David realized that it must be about noon.
After a while, David was quite sure his brain was giving him a go to sleep signal however he was so fizzed-up by questions and exhaustion that he and Belladonna sat taking heavy breaths under the shade of the canopy above them, some distance away from the gate. Charlotte and Peter on the other hand quietly worked to make fire by the help of a magnifying glass (Charlotte had it in her cape's underside pocket) and dry grass ( which Peter collected).
Once the fire was lit Belladonna spoke her voice quivering slightly as if she had been picking up heavy loads and carrying them and crying all the while doing it, "Will you guys put a stop at your thoughts. I wanna get some rest here."
David nodded but he wasn't quite sure if he understood completely what the words meant. His brain only made sense of the words being spoken once Peter asked " what's wrong with you 2?"
Suddenly he realized that the only he and Belladonna had felt this and not the other two but 'why?' he was just about to ask that when Belladonna said, "Luzandra's powers are extremely strong. Garbage and pollution all of this makes it stronger it's almost she can use these as a force. I think while entering that place our powers got silenced because they are nature-friendly. That is one way how she got control of so many people." Peter made an uncomfortable face and said "actually I was asking about you two. What happened to you two?"
"US! honestly Peter we just experienced losing our-"
"No! I mean how come you're not fighting with each other?"
Silence fell for a second. They all exchanged glances and then-
BURST into LAUGHTER.
Finally BB said " well, story-mode on cherry." The boys looked at Charlotte at this with a confused expression but before they could ask any more questions Charlotte, taking a deep breath said " okay guys! We need to discuss...alot." she looked at the eager face of others and the continued, looking down at the ground "let's start from the start. I think we are only well-aware of David's story so let's just make sure if David hadn't left anything out." They looked at him he was about to say no but as his lips parted his brain zoomed and another answer immediately raced out of his mouth " I- when I was being deported for the very first time to this place; I heard someone shout Zhat Asgural... that's all."
Charlotte nodded with an impassive expression. Peter whispered to David "that is why we just don't get along. It's like talking to a zombie she just doesn't reveal any emotion at al-" he junped slightly as he was cut short by Charlotte who said "Peter you up."
Clearing his throat he said " yeah! Well can I ask a question first?"
Charlotte seemed to gulp down anger but David could only just make it out. It made him agree with Peter; Charlotte was a little annoying when it came to interpreting what her expressions meant. Meanwhile Belladonna spoke when Charlotte didn't reply back " fire it off."
"Why on earth did we not have this very important conversation before?"
Starting to turn scarlet again Charlotte said, her voice surprisingly calm "because we're having it now... hurry up."
However Belladonna spoke before Peter asking, "when is your fight?"
"You don't need to worry about that." Charlotte spoke firmly but avoided Belladonna's eye but Belladonna said again "I'll read your thoughts anyway."
Charlotte turned an even intense scarlet colour but David couldn't help but notice a another cryptic message in it at first he felt it was embarrassment but as she stormed away he thought it was a mixture of many emotions. It was weird he never expected her to behave like this but then he also expected her to always be unexpected. Though as Peter looked at David while slightly grinning David just shook his head and raised his eyebrows. Belladonna sensed their thoughts, probably, as she said  "don't worry. She'll be okay. You continue with your story."
