Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 2: Freedom From Dirt

Allen

I instantly yanked my hand back away from her face. I noticed Danielle was finally paying attention to me, but only because the two chained men were looking at me as well. That was beyond disgusting, and it felt like my heart was beating a thousand times a minute.

I had to breathe. I had to control myself. We needed to help these people. I looked at her face again, and she was crying. Did I offend her, or was she scared? I had no idea. But wait... Her mouth was still hanging open, and the blood had stopped spilling. Why didn't she close her mouth​?

This time, I moved forward and looked closely. There was a huge silver rod right in the middle of her tongue. That's why she was crying! It wasn't my fault, That thing must have been extremely painful. That explains why she wouldn't talk. That must be the reason the men wouldn't talk either.

Still though, what good would taking it out do? They'd still have a huge hole in their tongue. Her eyes were pleading, and I immediately felt sympathetic. It's heavy, is gotta be. This time, I held her jaw in my left hand. Using my index finger and thumb I removed the metal bar from her mouth. She closed her mouth and her eyes and let out a small moan.

I guess removing it did relieve the pain a little bit.
"Danielle, open their mouths and take--"
"Cut us free." I looked back at the girl in front of me, who had a small smile on her face. She spoke! How? That hole should have stopped her from speaking, and she should be bleeding a lot more from her mouth. "Come on. Grab that sword and cut us free." The girl wasn't really smiling now, she kinda looked frustrated. I suppose I would be too, if I was chained up and an idiot was just standing there asking questions.

I picked up the thing she called a sword. Besides the hilt, it didn't look like a sword to me. The blade was not flat, it was more like the metal part of a thumbtack. "Hurry up! They could come back at any time!"
That stopped me in my tracks. "What? Who could come back? The people that did this?"
She knew I got sidetracked, so she said, "No, forget that, just cut these chains please." Why was she still scared though? "Look, we're here, so you're gonna be okay. We can call the poli-"

"Boy, just cut the damn chains and get us out of here." A deep voice growled at me. It was the main in the middle, the one who now looked like he was ready to kill me. "Stop asking questions." The man on the left didn't look l he was in any shape to speak, and had returned to the same position he was in when we first discovered them.

I lifted the sword. It was kinda heavy but light at the same time. The torches reflected off the sword, giving it an orangish look. I swung it as hard as I could, above the girls head. I guess it was the only thing supporting them, because she fell to her knees as soon as the chains were cut. I dropped the sword to help her, while the man in the middle fake coughed to get my attention.

"Excuse me?" He snapped, but I was too preoccupied to care. Luckily for him however, Danielle picked up the sword and was about to cut him down. Right before we watched the girl's chains that were hanging get snatched straight into the wall.

Danielle

"What the hell was that?" I asked, slowly picking the sword back up. I looked over to Allen, who was trying to undo the silver bands on the long haired girl's wrist.
"Maybe the chains are retractable."
That nerd thinks he knows everything. I swung the sword and cut the middle man free.

He didn't collapse like the girl, he just dropped to his knees and looked at his friend. He whispered in a low voice, "Jamie, you're gonna make it. We're gonna get out of here, and we're going to murder every single one of them." Hearing that, I had second thoughts about cutting them down.
