Chapter 4: Dani's POV

I hear Brendan and Alex talking downstairs, talking about science or some shit like that. Dinosaurs, I think. I don't know. So, I dash to Kaz's room.

I jump onto the bed. "KazKaz!"

I sit criss-crossed next to him.

His hair is wild, and he rubs his eyes and says, "You should be in bed."

"The bed was spreading rumors," I say. "This is a bed. And I'm sleeping in it."

"Well then. Okay."

I get under the covers and turn to face him. "Hello," I tap his nose.

"Yeah, yeah, hi. Some of us like to sleep." He says, pushing my hand away.

"Sleep is for the weak!" I declare. 

"Shut up!" I hear Alex call from downstairs.

"Okay!" I call back, run to my room, get some tape, and put it over my mouth.

I plop back onto Kaz's bed. "Mmmph!"

He picks me up and sets me under the covers. "Stay," He orders me, like I'm a dog.

I give him a thumbs-down, and scramble over to the floor.

Before I fall out of the bed, he grabs me by my arm and puts me back up on the bed.

Then it was kind of like a lightbulb went over Kaz's head. He picks me up and sets me in a chair.

"This ought to do it," He says while cuffing me to the chair.

Where the hell did he get handcuffs from? I think.

"Now you stay here and take these," He takes my tape off for a second and gives me a pill that I swallow and he puts the tape back on.

I start to mumble things that sound like a humpback whale's mating call.

"Just shh," He says, pats me on the head, and goes back to bed.

I slowly drift off to sleep.

The next morning, I look around the room, and Kaz isn't there. My head feels like there are bombs exploding inside it, and for some reason, I'm handcuffed to a chair and there's duct tape over my mouth.

Alex is on the floor, on her phone. "You're finally up," She says, and she's in a dinosaur onesie. Her pastel grey hair is tied in a messy bun, and she looks like she had a rough night.

"What happened to you? Why am I handcuffed to a chair?" I mumble, and another missile has gone into my head.

Alex somehow understands pulls out a key. "The three of us will explain downstairs." She unlocks the cuffs and takes the tape off my mouth.

She takes me downstairs, and the guys are cooking in the kitchen, wearing only underwear and those weird apron things that dad's use at barbecues.

"Good morning, ladies," Kaz says, setting down a plate of pancakes in front of his seat.

Brendan is busy making something in the blender to hear us.

Alex sits me down. "What happened?" I ask again.

Brendan turns off the blender and says, "You went into another dimension and tortured the rest of us," He jokes.

"Very funny. But seriously, what happened?"
