Ends of the Earth [DNF]

Chapter 9: The plan

The trio had come to the conclusion that they didn't really know what to do now. The two undergrounders was captured. But that was about as far as they'd planned. They'd also realized that these people had some sort of a protective layer around their brains when they were awake. Their emotions still shone through, but they couldn't see into their minds when they were awake. The opinion regarding on how they should proceed was not something they all agreed on. Quackity thought that they should just kill them. Karl had quickly disregarded that idea and said that they could be used for information. George was torn. The two guys were young and most likely not the ones that had given the order to invade their forest. These people were also quite fascinating, it was an exceptional learning opportunity. 

Know your enemies.

The blonde one was interesting. His emotions were strong and awoke George's curiosity. After some bickering, the group decided on a plan. It might be stupid, a waste of time and dangerous but it seemed to be the best idea.

The plan consisted of separating the two friends, keeping one as a hostage and forcing the other to lead one of them to their base. They'd all agreed that George would be the best choice for the trip to the bunker due to his superior knowledge regarding plants and herbs. They also decided that the blonde one would follow George as it seemed as though George had a surprisingly easy time picking up on the guy's thoughts. Quackity and Karl was going to bring the dark-haired boy back to the camp, both as an attempt to get information but also to use him as leverage against his friend. Their theory was that it would be the easiest way to gain information about the bunker and maybe some details on Karl's sister. The plan contained flaws, but it was the best one they had at the moment.

For the plan to work they knew that they would have to reveal their ways of communication. These people seemed to only communicate with their vocal cords. George glanced at the blonde to further study his hostage. The boy was beautiful, he'd give him that. Tall, eyes as green as the forest, and dark-blonde hair that had a slight wavy texture. George saw how the blonde had his eyes closed and decided to use the opportunity. As quite as possible he made his way over to the undergrounder. 

He grabbed his jaw. "What's your name?". The shock was obvious. They'd figured that for this to work, they needed to communicate like them.

"Dream." The initial shock had worn off and his eyes now shone with hate. George could understand that he probably wasn't Dream's favorite person in this moment, so he just brushed off the hatred. His friends had headed towards the other guy and had now freed his wrist, but both of his friends made sure to hold him still.

George gave Dream a menacing smile and he could see how the blonde shrugged, presumably because of his teeth that was slightly more pointed than theirs.

"Well then Dream and Dream's friend, here's what will happen. You guys kidnapped an innocent girl and took her to God knows where." Both the guys faces fell at the statement, making it obvious that they knew what he was talking about. 

So, George continued. "We plan on getting her back, and you're going to help us." They seemed very uncomfortable in the current situation, but George couldn't care less. Their expression had revealed that they knew about the horrific event.

"We won't help you, freaks!" Dream's friend shouted. Quackity put his elbow right into the boy's Solar plexus, causing him to choke on air. "I'm afraid that you don't really have a choice" Quackity countered. George decided to explain the situation further. "Dream's friend is going to be taken to our base while me and Dream here are going to have some infiltration to work on." He saw how Dream was about to protest but George wouldn't let him. He turned his gaze towards the blonde. "And if Dream refuses to cooperate, his friend dies."
