The Taverns Below

Prologue

*Danny's Pov*

I groaned as I got up from my bed, my alarm clock blared as i mentally tortured myself for staying up until 4:47am in the morning fighting Skulker.

Deciding I should care for my wounds, I walked to the washroom me and my sister Jazz shared. I opened the door to only get a book on Depressed Teens slammed into my face. "Wow thanks alot Jazz." The book fell to the floor, and I deeply sighed at its noise when it made contact with the floor boards.

I went back to my room and took off my shirt. Upon looking at my shirt, it was stained in fresh, and now old blood.

I sighed and took out an aid kit hiding under a pile of laudry in my closet. After retreving it. I used my iced core to form a ice mirror infront of me. Looking at the mirror I traced my fingers along some of the scars, remembering each and every detail on how I've gotten them.

I winced as i turned my back, a massive clotting laser burn strung across my back. "Yeepee another scar to develop." Sarcasm laced my words, I sighed again and opened the aid kit now placed on my lap.

Sitting down, made me yelp, because some more healing cuts re-opened, as the pain shot through my body.

My parents wern't gonna wake up for a while, since they slept to 6:45am earlist. I didn't have to worry about them bardging into my room, and seeing me aid my injuries.

I grabbed some other supplies I stashed inside the kit such as needles and thread. I went into deep thought of how I was going to stitch up a place I couldn't really reach. A nock startled me out of my thoughts, but I knew it was Jazz, because she was the only person who ever knocked.

She slid open the door "Hey Danny." She said as she walked into the room but halted from seeing me holding a needle and thread, with the aid kit in his lap.

"Danny i thought we talked about this, you need to stop getting yourself so hurt and... I dunno maybe, take a break?" I just sheepishly smiled at her "Jazz. We both know that wont happen. Anyway can you help me?"

My sister just sighed as she sat down beside me, taking the needle and thread from my hands, ushering me to turn around.

Narrator's Pov

Jazz cringed at what she saw, Danny's back littered in scars, scabs, burns, and cuts. She began to poke the needle through the soft swollen flesh. Danny just tried not to squirm from the pain.

Stitching up smaller cuts getting closer to the scorched burn. Each time she poked through the flesh more metalic scented blood sprang loose from the small holes she made.

Threading the skin felt weird to Danny, it sort of felt like it tingled, but the most noticable was the way the thread felt sliding under the skin and threw open wounds.

Jazz carefully closed the cuts as much as she could. Snapping the thread with a pair of sewing scissors.

To clean the 3rd degree burn she poured fizzing lotion onto his back. He yelped in pain at the sensation, like bubbles popping under the skin but with more pain and irritation.

She then ran to the washroom to rince a cloth under warm water to wash the bacteria the lotion brought up. When she came back she saw danny trying to touch his stitches. "If I were you I wouldn't do that." She snarkily commented to her little brother, with the reply of "Awe but why cant I?" She snickered at Danny's whining.

After cleaning up the burn she grabbed Pollisporn from the aid kit to sooth the aching of flesh. Jazz washed the rest of the dried blood and went into danny's closet. It was small compared to hers because, he only wore the same thing. Meaning he only had pairs of His signature white T-shirt with the red oval and blue jeans.

She sighed and ran to her room and picked out nice dark blue ripped jeans, a simple white tank-top and a plaid jacket. Sure it was a little big on him, but diddn't he wear baggy clothes anyway?

She went back into the room tossing the clothes at Danny's head she once again snickered, "Jazz... I dont want to wear your clothes." Jazz just sighed rubbing a hand through her bright orange and red locks. "Danny. Just wear it." Danny just grummbled and shoed his sister out his room.

*Have A Quick Shitty Sketch I Made*

After getting dressed his second alarm clock went off, Signaling his parents were now getting out of bed.

Jazz re-entered the room and awed at Danny, he was so cute looking like that. She looked at the watch on her wrist, it was now 6:46am

They both heard their parents yelling about having to get out of bed, then at when they opened the door to the fridge filled with ecto plasmic endused sassuages. They came hurling towards them. The door was slammed shut while Jack was getting ready to shoot off the little pests and turn them into ecto plasmic goo, while ripping them by molocule to molocule.

Maddie yelled at her kids to get out from their beds and to hurry up, because she thought it would be better for them to go out and eat breakfast.

*Jazz's Pov *

'Danny needs to sleep I'm really worried about him.' I just sighed then realized I was talking to myself. Even though I confronted him this morning.

I grabbed my school bags with some text books I brought home for homework, and checked my phone to see which block I have first. "Ahhh." I breathed in the sweet smell of morning-dew when exiting the house. And of course the smell of polluted air from climate change.

I huffed at why are humans so horrible to creating green house gasses, and just gasses in general.

I saw danny exit the house. He was grumpy, it was so cute. He flopped his butt down on the RV seat closing the door after he settled. I went around the RV to go on the other side. Once I settled, I looked out and saw my mother argueing with my father.

"They've been doing that alot lately." Danny said breaking a moment of silence that filled the car seconds before. I wanted to remark the comment my little bro made, but couldn't because it was true.

*Flash back*

We were heading towards the docters office because our father was acting stubborn and just unhappy. When we arrived, our family docter took us into the little rooms quickly and did a few check up things to our father. He then lead jack outside the room and said he wanted to talk to us in private.

"How long has Jack been like this?" The docter asked "I don't know, I think last night?" Maddie replied. Danny and I nodded our heads at the older man.

The man looked fairly nice and comforting, but his friendly smile dropped when he looked at his computer screen. " Ms.Fenton, have you seen jack take any medication lately?" Our mother just ahook her head. "Very well then."

He started to type on his computer, then stood up once he was done to hand over the paper.

"Tell him to take his medication, and if he refuses, give me a call back." Mom just nodded again, and we then left the room.

*End Of Flashback*

I was brought back to reality when the RV's engine started up.

"Denny's, Rickies' or IHOP?" Our mother asked turning to our direction from the passenger's seat in the front.

"Hmmm... Lemme think. Oh! I know, Mickie Ds!" I laughed at Danny's childish behavior and patted his head while he just looked away grunting at me.

1304 Words. I will try and update every one or two days. Merci pour lire!

Why they went to Dennys, is because Jack and Maddie love it. But Danny and his friends still love the NastyBurger.

Sam and Tucker went to Dennys because the NastyBurger wasn't open yet.
