He leaves the room and we walk to Edan. "Blaze applies a warm heat to her hands and gently rubs her cuts and bruises. "Ow" She mumbles. "Sorry." Blaze says pulling her hands away.

Chrys makes an ice shard and gives it to Edan. She sits up against the wall and puts the ice on her arm.

"What did they do to you?" Wendell asks awkwardly. "They got the information they needed."

I stand up thinking about how we could get out of here. "What?" Blaze asks me. I ignore her. I walk over to the metal wall and put my ear against it. I can hear the wind blow. "This wall separates us form outside." I knock on the metal and notice a high pitched ding arrive at my ear.

"It's thin. We can get through." "How, it's metal." Chrys says. "I know but what I'm thinking is Blaze will melt a big enough hole and Chrys will cool it when it's done. Then, freedom."

"What if they come back?" Wendell asks pointing at the door. "Oh we could have you and Edan guard. If anyone walks through you do your plant and storm thing." "Sounds fun lets do it." Edan slowly stands up with Wendell and go to the door. "Blaze presses her hands against the metal and Chrys waits.

The metal turns form red to orange to bright yellow to white. It falls against the ground and Chrys freezes it. We are almost free until the Hydras walk in. Wendell blows them down and Edan covers it with vines. We run out through the hole but Edan is really hurt and very slow. "Come on hurry!" Blaze yells. Wendell picks up Edan and we run out. We run to an abandoned work shop.

Everyone is tired and hungry. Everyone's stomach grumbles but mine. I'm used to no food. "How about we make a hardy stew." Edan says putting a crooked smile on her face. "That sounds amazing yet we have nothing to make it out of." Blaze replies smiling and holding her stomach.

It begins to rain and I stand by the big hole in the building eaves dropping on the conversation. "Nonsense! I don't run a fruit business for nothing." Wendell yells "Mushrooms! You know Chrys could make ice. Blaze could make a fire and melt it and we could make a mushroom soup."

"Again that sounds amazing but we have no pot or pans." "I'll go look for some." Chrys says his voice drifting away. I start to tune them out and they begin making food with spices and herbs Edan grew.

I'm thinking about how we are gonna get through this. We have no place that's safe and no one to help us. We are completely alone. I turn around to see my friends laughing and eating. I turn back around and stare at the rain.

I give a great sigh get into deep thought. Chrys bumps my shoulder and has a cup of hot soup. I take it and sit in the rain. Its really good but I don't care.

I just want to get through this.
