Chapter 5:

Danny sat on a bed, staring out the window in his new room. His expression was vacant as he sat with his legs drawn to his chest. His eyes held a light sadness along with an empty stare that you would have thought he was being kept prisoner in the place.

"Would you just go out there and fly for a while? I know you want to." Danny smiled but didn't turn away from the window. The ghost person who the voice belonged to marched towards the bed.

"I'm serious kid! I mean, I rescued you from that horrible place you were locked up in and now you still insist on staying locked up?" Danny flinched lightly at how she raised her voice at him.

Screaming always came before and after beatings at the WIGHA. Danny thought as he cringed lightly when she glowered at him. Seeing him like that, Lunae's eyes softened and she sighed. She drifted over to the bed, not bothering to walk and merely floated and landed sitting on the edge of the bed.

She reached over but withdrew hesitantly when Danny flinched involuntarily, then finished the movement caressing his cheek with her thumb. She gave a light sigh when he stared at her with those sad, empty neon green eyes.

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell, I'm just really worried about your well-being you know? I mean you've been sitting here for over a week and I'm getting worry! You haven't eaten anything decent in decades, literally! Will you at least let me bring you an instant POP the TOP?" She pleaded. Danny tilted his head and gave her a questioning look.

"It's like instant soup combined with dehydrated food, you put water on it and it becomes a hamburger or something and then you just put it in the micro-heater and voila!" Danny nodded his head, still not understanding her. Lunae sighed and gave him a light smile while ruffling his hair.

"You'd think it would be the youth telling the old about these things, so you want the POP the TOP?" Lunae asked, Danny stared at her for a moment, before nodding rather hesitantly. Lunae squealed lightly and gave him a hug to which he reacted stiffly and hesitantly. She smiled and ran off to the kitchen.

Danny smiled lightly as he turned his gaze back to the window. It wasn't that he didn't want to go outside; it was just that… he couldn't. He had spent so much time in a cell that he couldn't help but lock himself away as he was doing.

He smiled as he imagined Jazz psychoanalyzing his state as a way to deal with the trauma. He imagined Sam dragging him out along with Tucker no matter how much he protested. His smile faded as he remembered… he'd never see them again.

He curled up on the bed, biting back bitter tears that were determined to shoving their way out of his eyes and onto his cheeks. He sniffled lightly, a few tears slipping from his eyes to his cheeks. He lay down and cried silently, mourning over his family

When Lunae finally came back, the young halfa was already asleep. She gave a sigh as she left the POP the TOP on the table next to the bed, and wondered if the boy was conspiring against her.

Well? What do you think? I think it's pretty good, next chapter the plot might start to unravel a little more. Review please!
