A/N: Happy Wednesday! Also happy Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Day! (...don't tell anyone but when I was typing this I spelled Dr. Seuss wrong.. It had to spell check me...)
Third Person POV
A girl sits on the floor. She is locked up in a cell. She's bored and lonely but she's used to it. After all, She's been doing this for a few years now. There used to be others trapped like her. But, the scientist moved her away from them. They said she was talking to much and needed to learn some discipline. So, she got sent to a special cell made of obsidian in a hallway all to herself. The cell itself is completely barren except for the girl. The girl stands out against the dreary background of her cell. Her orange fur and bright blue eyes contrast greatly from the dark purple rock.
Footsteps echo through the once empty hallway. The girl stands up and presses herself against the back wall trying to hide but obviously failing.
Two men stop in front of the girl's cell. One of the men is tall. He wears blue jeans, a teal shirt, and a black cloak with a hood. The only part of his face you can see is his pure white eyes. The other man is a bit shorter and a lot younger than the mysterious man. He wears black dress pants with white stripes, a white shirt, and an unbuttoned suit jacket. He has black hair, a short black beard, and red sunglasses that cover half of his blue eyes. He appears to be in pain. Not surprising since the cloaked man has a tight grip on his left arm.
The cloaked man opens the iron door that leads to the girl's cell. He then proceeds to forcefully shove the bearded man inside. The bearded man stumbles and starts to fall. The girl darts forward and catches him before he face plants into the ground. The cloaked man slams the door shut. Then he vanishes into thin air.
"Are you okay?" The girl asks.
"I will be," the man replies as he regains his balance. "How are you, Star?"
"I'm alright." The girl, Star, replies nonchalantly. "Better than I was yesterday."
"That's good."
"What happened, Spark Spark?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Why did he put you in here? Did he find out about the book?" The man doesn't answer. "Sparklez. Please, tell me."
The man, Sparklez, sighs deeply. "Yes. He found out about the book. Fortunately, I was able to leave it somewhere before he found me."
"Where'd you leave it?"
"At a house I found in the Aether."
"I thought you weren't allowed in the Aether."
"I'm not. But it was the only place I could go where he couldn't reach me."
"Why did he lock you in here with me?"
"Well after beating the crap out of me, he forbade me from leaving. Yesterday, I was outside. He caught me."
"Did anything happen while you were out there? Did you see anyone? Besides your dad?"
Sparklez winces at 'dad' but answers her questions anyway. "Yea, I saw someone."
"Who!?" She asks both curious and excited.
"A friend of mine, Antvenom."
"Why was he here?"
"I'm not entirely sure. But he asked me if I knew a girl named Jennifer Star." He gives the girl a look.
"Really!? Your friend found my book!"
"He might have, But it doesn't matter if he has or not. My father's pissed. He's not going to hold back if someone attacks the lab." Sparkle sighs again, "Don't get your hopes up."
"But Sparklez." The girl whines. "Someone found my book."
"Do you have any idea what this means, Star?" Sparklez asks seriously.
"Yes! It means we're free!" Star says gleefully.
"It means we're toast."
"Quit being a pessimist. Someone found my book. We're going to be rescued."
"No. They're going to try to rescue you and Herobrine will kill them."
"Have faith in our savior, Sparkly."
Sparklez starts to reply but cuts himself off when a thud echoes through the hall. Then the whole place goes silent. Nothing moves and nothing makes a sound. The two inside the cell are completely frozen. They don't dare to move or make a sound afraid of what could be lurking outside the cell.
Star slowly and quietly approaches the bars of her cell. As she does Sparklez frantically shakes his head no telling her not to do it. She ignores him. She grabs onto the bars and tries to look outside her cell past the little bits of hallway she usually sees. But nothing has changed. Everything's the same. The same hallway. The same cells. The same bars. The same place.
Quietly Star calls out into the hallway she's been in for years. "Is someone there?"
"Jen?" A male voice calls from down the hall. The sound of fast footsteps get louder as they approach the call. Star flinches at the noise and steps back from the front of the cell.. "Jen, is that you?" A were-lion appears in front of the cell. The were-lion is followed closely by three men. "Jen!" The lion shouts with a smile.
It takes a minute but Star recognizes the yellow furred lion. "Jimmy!?"
"You know him, Star?" Sparklez asks from behind her.
"Yes. I'll explain later." She tells him.
"Watch out," the were-lion orders. "I'm going to get you guys out."
"How?" One of the men with the were-lion asks somewhat sarcastically. "There's no way to open the door."
"That's why I brought a pick." The were-lion retorts. He then proceeds to break the door with a diamond pick. Star immediately runs out the door and hugs the were-lion.
"I missed you so much," she whispers.
"I missed you too," he whispers back. "But right now we have to get out of here." He releases her from the hug. "Come on." Her grabs her hand and pulls her away from the now broken cell. The four men follow after them.
"Wait." Star pulls her hand out of his grasp. "There's something I need to do first."
