Enti-Mon

Telepathy

Chapter 22: Telepathy

(Aris POV)

"You're telling me, I can communicate with Entie without even seeing him?" I asked.

"As long as yall have a deep connection. That's what I used to do when I first got caught." Hooper said munching on an apple he stole from his meal last night.

"How do you know if you have that special connection?" I asked.

He took another bite, "You typically get euphoria."

I looked at the lime green grass surrounding us.

"How about you show me how to communicate." I glanced at him.

He swallowed his apple and said, "Can't do it now, there are eyes and ears everywhere." I cringed, "Huh?"

He motioned his gaze at a hidden camera attached to the brown building.

"Holy ****" I thought staring directly at the cameras.

"You're just going to have to teach yourself."

"I don't even know what I'm teaching myself! What do I do? Do I meditate? Do I rage? Do I go to sleep?" I snapped.

He jumped at my sudden words.

I quickly apologized for my tone.

"I'm sorry, I live in a household of 3 sisters, 2 younger." I quickly explained.

He nodded and said, "It okay, I'm an only child so everything gets blamed on me."

The silent quickly grew between us. I suddenly had a good thought to ask him.

"What year do you think it is?"

His face went stiff, "Uhhh... 2019?"

I scoffed, "Wait seriously!?" He nodded.

"Holy crap! You've been here for over 3 years!?"

He didn't look surprised.

"What year were you born?" I asked.

"2010"

"So you're 12, HOLY CRAP, YOU CAME HERE WHEN YOU WERE 9?!?!" I yelled.

"Yeahhh I guess so." He sighed.

"You're not shocked?!" I asked.

"I did say I've been here for too long." He whimpered, "Sometimes it's better to be here than out there though..."

"What do you mean?"

"We have everything we need in here, even if it's hell..."

I didn't respond.

What if I stay here for that long?! I can't stay here for 3 years! I gotta get back to Jocie and Nikita! Yeah it's great here but I... Kinda miss my old life... I am gonna miss running away, getting in fights with my siblings, and even my... Father. We had so many horrible times but... I kinda liked them. I gotta get out of here asap.

~Time skip~

I layed face up on my twin bed and closed my eyes. I need to talk to Entie about this.

I desperately shut my eyes trying to communicate with him but he was nowhere to be seen. I'm not really sure how to do this but I wouldn't know any other way.

I tensed my muscles all over and tried picturing an image. Just as I thought I saw Entie looking at me, the image disappeared.

I opened my eyes and quickly sat up pissed. I gripped my blankets in anger.

I really really needed to talk to Entie. He knew about this place so he has obviously been here before. What if he was a human that had an Enti-mon and he got kidnapped and was turned into one? I don't really know what to believe anymore.

Just as I was about to scream into my pillow, my food plater popped out of the wall with another smoothie. This time, it was neon orange.

I grabbed the drink and quickly downed it. If I was gonna get out of here, I need to do it as soon as possible.

I need to come up with an escape plan.
