Dan paced around his prison for hours, he was still waiting patiently for his friends return. Although his patients where waring thin. Lukas and Petra were huddled near the far corner of the cage, trying to devise a plan. All the while Jesse was hogging up most of the blankets, water, and food because of how sick he has become. Gabriel was taken out of the cage that morning and no one knows why.

"This is stupid!" Dan yelled. "Why aren't we doing anything? We should be looking for a way to escape!"

"That's what I'm saying, but Mr. Arrogent over here doesn't want to listen to me," Petra argued.

Lukas turned his gaze to Petra and furrowed his eyebrows. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Petra stood up in a huff. "It means we should get out of here! I agree with Dan, where is Stacy? Why did they take Gabriel this morning? Jesse's sick. Lukas, we need to get out of here! Plus they took my gun... I can still protect myself but to dragons? I need some sort of weapon."

"Don't argue with Lukas!" Jess intervened. "He's doing his best, it's not like we can talk to the dragons anyway. Most of them don't even speak English... most of them don't even speak the same language!"

Jesse coughed and rolled over. "Ruben? Come here, boy..."

"No Jesse. Ruben isn't here." Jess said sweetly.

"But... he's right there..." Jesse argued weakly.

Jess rolled her brother over and made sure the few blankets they had were wrapped around him tightly to make sure he was nice and snug. "Quiet now, you need rest."

See? We need to leave! Petra mouthed to Lukas. Dan nodded in agreement.

And how are we supposed to do that? Gabriel is gone and we have NOTHING! Do you have a plan Petra? Lukas mouthed back.

Dan waved his hands in a dismissive motion.  I have a plan, I've been working on it for a while now. I just nee-

Though Dan stopped mid-sentence when they heard a door open and claws scrape the stone floor. A trio of guards walked by (one Volcano dragon, one Steel, and one Ice) and the volcano dragon stopped to look at the humans. He turned to his buddies and said, "Homines?"

The Steel guard tapped the cage and nodded. "Homines."

The Ice dragon rolled her eyes and said in an angry tone, "Rólegur, við verðum að klára fyrir hátíðina!"

The two other dragons looked at each other then to the Ice Dragon. "Veniam in me?"

Clearly, the Ice guard must've forgotten that the dragons here speak Latin and not Icelandic. She mustn't have known that much Latin if because she looked to be struggling to find the right thing to say. "Sit scriptor moventur." When the female dragon started to walk away the two guards followed her. What's an Ice Dragon doing all the way down here? Lukas thought.

Jesse who was sturring in his sleep started shivering when the dragon of Ice walked past. Lukas and Petra could feel it too, her scales let off this cold feel that just made you feel cold.

"So what's your big idea genius?" Petra asked.

Dan smiled. "I think you'll be a fan of my master plan."

~~~

Dan's plan mostly made up of trying to communicate with dragons and making them believe they were with Ein. "But that won't work," Lukas contradicted, "they might be big but they aren't stupid. I'm almost positive that they can smell that we aren't werewolves."
