CHAPTER 4 - Kidnapped

**Date- November 10th 2021**

What a bad way to start the day; we slept in the bushes because we didn't want to risk going back to the hideout or being seen by the Derob werc. I wish I could go to the forest and have fun like I used to get to do, and I really want it to get back to normal.

I'm going through that phase in a problem where I say, "This is all my fault, if I never did blah blah blah we wouldn't be in this mess."

Ariz is trying to make me feel like it isn't my fault, but deep down, I know it is. It's my fault that I went to the hospital, too. It's my fault that we even came across the Derob werc in the first place. If I hadn't been that curious, I would still be having fun in the forest right now.

The time system is weird over here in this dimension. I have figured out that the days here aren't the same as in our dimension, which is why only one day had passed after we went here that other time when it should've been nearly two days. I honestly have no idea what the date is right now, and I'll add the date later, so if this has a date, that's why.

Anyway, what ended up happening today was that me and Ariz moped around in the forest trying to find a way to save Zordon. I was honestly surprised that the Derob werc didn't come back for revenge.

It was really weird to have a day in this dimension without intense fighting with those genocidal jerks. Oh, nice, an alliteration. Not really. Whatever. Anyway, there wasn't any fighting today, just me and Ariz trying and failing to make plans to save Zordon, and then later we just resorted to practicing our powers so that when we DO come up with an idea, we can use our powers to help us defeat the Derob werc.

Zordon would've had a better idea. My arm was white while I was doing this, and I was trying to figure out how to turn it purple or white from whatever it was before. This one time, I kicked a tree and it turned purple, but the purple started changing into a brownish color that looked kind of like a combination of purple and red, but it was really odd and it looked ugly so I tried to cover it...we were just in the forest practicing our powers and utterly failing.

At least, I was. Ariz was doing great with his powers, and it seemed like he could slice any of the Derob werc members to bits. But his wing...the one that he got operated on that turned partially blue...he kept complaining that it hurt and he wouldn't stop whining about it, and he was having trouble flying.

Every time he tried to fly, he fell. He could barely even move that wing, and I was too busy trying to control my stupid arm to notice, and I just heard a crash and suddenly saw Ariz passed out on the floor...I was desperate and immediately tried to wake him up with every ounce of my soul, but he wouldn't wake up.

If he were more than a year younger than me, I would probably have been able to pick him up, but I couldn't. So I had to try and get back home. So I tried to push him to the leaf pile, which was about 20 feet away from where we were. Which worked actually. We got into the leaf pile and appeared back home, and to my surprise, we weren't alone.

"Is anyone even at this place, or did all of y'all die?" I heard a voice coming from upstairs. I recognized the voice a lot, but couldn't exactly tell who it was.

"Shut up!" another voice yelled from the kitchen. "The kids are probably sleeping!" "I checked Ariz's room and he wasn't in there!" the voice from upstairs yelled back. "They're probably in Flori's room then."
"I checked there too!" the voice said again.

With Ariz passed out yesterday, it was hard to focus on who the voices were. Until the one upstairs came downstairs. I heard loud, fierce footsteps, and I saw a guy with a blue face...
