The Taverns Below

Chapter Four

*Eli's POV*
I just stare stupidly at Pronto, hearing a grumbling noise below me I looked down to see the boy's face scrunched up. Pronto was oblivious as ever to the blood around us as he strolled over tl the sofa and plopped down switching on the TV. Kord on the other hand, he was panicking ALOT.

"What happened to him!" He welped in my ear making me shiver at the noise. Before I could say anything Trixie spoke up, "We beleive we opened a wound from his fall while riding here." She was already getting up to the sink washing the grime off her hands waving us to signal she was going to go change. "Is there anything I can do?" Kord asked a bit of sympathy leaking from his voice. I just shook my head no.

Waiting hesitently for a second. I nodded my head saying, "yeah actually, can you carry him to my room, I believe he needs more rest." The long body laying on the floor passed out cold again after his twitches a few moments back. "Sure man I'll do what I can to help this poor guy." I just nodded again as Kord scooped him up and carried him to my room.

Sighing as I got up "Hey Eli, we have any juice?" Trixie asked coming out of the hallway where our rooms were. "Hmm, I don't know, tell me if we have any, if not I'll go get some."

I started walking to my room to grab some new clothes as Kord was coming back, seems like he changed too.

As I went to my room I looked at the small figure on my bed, not wanting to go further into my thoughts of, 'where the hell did he come from.' I made a beeline straight to my closet swinging open its cracked hinges. Grabbing some spair clothes I made my way to our washroom outside the hall. Stripping away my shirt I deciding "Oh fu- I do really need a shower"

Stripping away my clothes, I sweeped a towel from the small closet outside the bathroom re-locking the door. Putting my shirt and jeans on the counter Burpee banges at the door, "Burpee gimme a minute, k?" I told him. He just purred at my answer, seconds later I opened a small crack in the door letting him hop inside, he flopped himself on the counter as I hopped into the shower.

The hot steamy water on my back was enough to make me moan, "When did my muscels get so tight?" I wonder outloud Burpee on the counter just grumbled at not being on my shoudler, Chuckling at him I said, "Come on bud, I'll be out in a few more minutes."

The water was somewhat running cold so I slid out wrapping a towel around my body to dry off, pulling up my boxers to speed it up.
I was notified that Burpee woke from his nap as he made a yawning noise. Patting him on the head I continued to get dressed.

"THE FLIP PRONTO!" I groaned at the screaming of Kord's voice. He better not be screwing with Kord's Mecha again for a prank and broke it. I looked over at Burpee, who was now fully awake thanks to my troll friend.

Crashing through the door Burpee hopped apon my shoulder walking out to see the reason why they were fighting, honestly, it gave me a migraine. "I'm just going to my room." I heard Trixie say as she walking almost into me away from the loudness.

"Kord, what happened." I deadpanned at my friend who angerly pointed at Pronto who fake gasped, "he took out the engine from my mecha, and called it a prank, A FLIPPING PRANK!" he screeched, looking over to Burpee, he was covering one of his ears in the crook of my neck. I sighed again for what seemed like the 100th time today.

"Well, the great and mighty Pronto would never do such as thing!" "You sure about that." I questioned him to save Kord from the endless bickering. "Hmph." Pronto hufffed in defeaf as he sprawled himself out of the sofa again, switched throught the channels we had.

Trixie didn't tell me if we had juice or anything so I took it apon myself to looking in the fridge. Glory ahold! There was juice! Lime and lemon juice to be honest which I lol. Not the pure lemon or lime juice, but actual juices like apple juice.

I went over To the sofa sitting beside Pronto sipping at my lemon lime, "Hey, Kord, what you think about the boy?" I yelled catching his attention only for a second before he returned to his mecha furiously trying to fix it.

"Eli, I don't really know, I mean, we'll have to ask him when he wakes up. Cause it's the only way we can to get answers." I sighed at what Kord said drowning myself into the channel on the TV.

*Danny's POV.*
I woke at a start, million thoughts racing threw my head. My memories crashed against my head pounding my pulse as it slowly returned to normal. "I went threw the f-cking door!" I yelped to no one but myself.

Turning my head I realized where the hell am I? Panic racked my body heavy sweat grazed my skin, god, a panic attack.

Stumbling off the bed I backed into a corner of a wall, f-ck, the only words I could think at the moment. I was nocked out of my trance when i heard the door creek open on its hinges.

*Trixie's POV*
I opened the door to Eli's room, startled out of my thoughts looking at the bed, the boy was gone, oh sh-t.

I heard heavy breathing turning my head sticking out the door to see the boy curled in a ball holding his knees to his chest scared out of his mind.

Sighing I took a step in, the boy in question flinched when I did so, "Hey you're okay, I'm not gonna hurt you, kay?"

The boy stared at me his icy cold dead eyes shocked me for a second but still proceeded. Walking across the room while opening the door wide to make sure he has an escape. Kneeling down to the boy he stuffed his face in his tattered jeans.

"What's you'r name kid?" I said softly to him, he only replied with muffles, "Sorry can you tell me again?" He lifted his head avoiding eye contact. "It's D-danny."

"That's a wondefull name." I said cheerfully, "Oh shoot, ah, that was a bit too clique." I mumbled to myself
The boy Danny chuckled at that, I smiled knowing he was a bit content.

1134 words! I'm sorry it's not as much as the first two chapters, but it's better then getting an authors not saying "Oh shoot I can't update." And getting nothing for the next 4 years. XD
