Volume eighty Eight

The prodigal was silent. The only voice we could hear was his wife in the other room singing while doing the dishes. After a couple minutes of complete silence Autumn spoke up, " we are still deciding on what to do with Marcus. I don't like the idea of killing an innocent child, but if the thing inside tell me to do so then maybe he knows something that we don't know. Look Arken!, I know that it's been a long time since we last spoke. I know that you don't trust us anymore. And I don't blame you in the slightest okay, what else do we have to lose?!. What our sanity, we all have lost that ages ago. So Arken can you aid us in this quest?". The old man left the room. The lights went out when he left the room, Autumn jumped once the lights went out. So this old man still has some mana left in him to keep the lights on, I walked out the room. Well at least I know that Marcus is at least safe in this place. I heard a argument in the kitchen, the old man and the wife our going back and forth with each other. Walking back to check up on Marcus, Autumn went outside of the house. I wonder why she went outside seeing how this man was party of her past, she doesn't make any sense to me some times. Marcus started twitching really bad. The numbers started to appear on his body in his sleep, I started to shake Marcus up to wake him. Nothing happens though, his body became more frantic. The old man and woman rushed back in after hearing their loveseat being dragged against their hardwood floor. The old man look at me wonder what I was trying to do. He saw the numbers on his body, he followed my lead scared out of his mind. The old woman went back into the kitchen. I heard the water running in the background, she must think that when she puts water on him that he will wake up. I doubt that will work though we walked almost thirty miles to get to this place. With bumps all over the place, all so the screams coming from Daragain. Whatever place he is in doesn't want him to leave, could Darkouls be possible holding him hostage. That can be the reason why he is not waking up. I didn't get that impression from Darkouls it seems to me that he want Marcus to be happy. So why would this be happening to him?!, what could we do to possibly stop this from happening ever again. The old woman carefully came into the living room with the pot full of water, the water was juggling around. The old man grabbed the pot quickly, splashing it over Marcus. Like I thought nothing happened to him. He continued to shake, what is happened was his screams started to leek out." Don't touch him!, you can touch me all day long okay. Just please don't harm them anymore. Like y'all use to do with me y'all can continue. I won't even make a noise this time okay, whatever experiment,trail, or play time y'all want I'll be fine with it okay. Just please don't hurt the others!". The room became awkward after hearing Marcus scream that, Autumn stumbled in. " So of a bitch. Damn why does stubbing your toes hurt like hell?!". She read the room very well, she didn't know what to say though to break the ice. " What did y'all do to Marcus?!", why is he wet?!. I left for maybe a minute and I come back to him shaking and soaked.". I hugged her to calm her down." Autumn we done nothing to him, we are just trying to wake him up. He has having a nightmare. A really bad one two, I'm trying to listen out for any clues to where he was before meeting us. I've got nothing though whatever that place is. They have other children just like Marcus, being tortured!.". Arken stood up, " he stopped shaking. He should be fine, man this kid Marcus is in rough shape. We have to find this place before anything else happens to the other children. Also I have an idea to cure Marcus from these horrible nightmares.". I sat down right between Marcus and Autumn, he both started to comfort Marcus. Even with his body soaked in water. He is burning up, his body heat is starting to hurt my hand. Autumn quickly stopped touching him, she pulled her hand away. I looked at he hand, her hand is covered in burned marks. Arken opens the cabinet behind him, pulling out an old jar full of an old slime. The slime has no color to it. The slime slowly fell onto her hands, the slime covered over the burned Marks. The slime crawled back into he jar, Arken put the jar back into eh cabinet. Autumn stopped shakng her hands to cool them off, she smiled at Arken. " Thanks Arken", how is Marcus body heating up though. These is very odd normally when your body becomes doused in water it's cold. His is like on fire though, could this be because of his power. " Hey Autumn can you explain what is happening to Marcus?!. Cause all of the knowledge I know about powers is going out of the window. Arken with you knowledge what do you think is Happening to Marcus!?.". Arken couldn't say anything he was too scared of what happened to Autumn. The old woman spoke up for Arken, " well it looks like he has perfect control of his body. Think about it when he became cold he immediately started burning up.". Marcus staredd opening his eyes, his eyes should no concern. " Hey Jim, and the Forrest dweller. Who are these people?!. What did I something in my sleep?!. I'm sorry if did!, I didn't mean too!".
