All were wounded. Priscilla and Jack were resting. Elizabeth treated Infiz. Elaine, on the other hand, became more cautious without his abilities. As he began to observe the environment, he noticed something.
- Friends, don't you think something strange in the forest?
Elaine told the team. Resting Jack and Priscilla reluctantly began to speak.
- But what else could it be? Jack asked him with closed eyes. He was too lazy to open them.
- Look yourself. Elaine said with a wary voice.
Jack and Priscilla opened their eyes. And looked around. Their faces were strange.
- What the? Jack couldn't comment.
- Blood red forest. Priscilla said with a frown.
Elizabeth was interested in their conversation. During Infiz's treatment, Elizabeth glanced around at her surroundings. But she was a little surprised. The forest was extraordinary. The leaves were not green. The trees were not brown. The earth has also lost its luster. Everything was so red, as if everything here was stained with blood itself.
- How did we not notice this when we ran here? Priscilla asked in bewilderment.
- When we ran here, I saw for sure that it was a green forest. After some thought, Jack said.
- I saw it too. Elizabeth also joined this discussion.
"But why don't dog flies fly into this forest?" Elaine asked.
"Maybe they sense something dangerous in this forest. Elizabeth spoke her mind.
- I agree with her. Maybe there's something more dangerous in this forest than those flies. Priscilla agreed with Elizabeth.
Goosebumps ran down everyone's backs. They remembered how terrible those dog flies were. Because of this, their wounds began to ache. If there were a more dangerous creature here than flies, they wouldn't know what to do.
- Elaine, can't you get your ability to start working? Now we really need it. Jack was in despair.
Elaine shook his head. He himself did not know how to make his power work. He remembered that he was useless when he lost his power. Suddenly Elaine noticed a strange phenomenon. The wound on Infiz's leg, from which a lot of blood had previously come out, almost healed. But this is not strange. The blood that had flowed from Infiz's wound vanished to the red earth each time. There was not a single blood stain. The wound wasn't just for Infiz. Everyone has. He looked at the ground where the others were and saw exactly the same phenomenon.
The blood that slowly fell to the ground disappeared like the previous time.
- Team. It seems not only in the forest a strange color. Elaine warned his team.
- What happened? Priccilla asked with concern. Now she didn't want another oddity.
- Look at the blood on your bodies that drips onto the ground. Elaine pointed to them.
Everyone, including Elizabeth, looked at the blood in their bodies. And they saw how it disappears when it reaches the ground. Everyone had a bad feeling.
BOOM.
Suddenly, blood-red vines appeared from the ground. The team did not have time to react. The vines quickly coiled around their bodies, binding them tightly.
- Well, let go. Jack and Elaine wanted to get out of those vines.
- KYAYAYA. There was a cry from the girls. The vines slowly coiled around Infiz too. He was now semi-conscious. Therefore, he could not fight back. This is where his powers would come in handy. The vines grabbed them very tightly. Some coiled around their necks and began to choke everyone except Infiz until they passed out. After nearly everyone passed out, some moving shadows appeared.
- Lelaneto es ercatano. (First shadow)( Nice catch)
- La astartos es erica. (Second shadow) (What a tasty booty)
- Orhono si kalbuba no gestoe. (First shadow.) (Today the boss will be happy)
- We are a hero rel tatalo. (Second shadow) (I take three boys.)
- Vee us aevoe shilika. (First shadow) (Then my two girls)
Two shadows, talking among themselves, took the unconscious team, and went deep into the red forest.
Some time later.
- UUHHH. Elaine, who was lying on the ground of unconsciousness, suddenly came to his senses and began to breathe as if the air had been taken from him. But it was. Elaine quickly began to run his hand over his neck, checking if everything was fine.
- Did not die. Was it just a dream?
- Did you come to your senses?
Elaine suddenly heard a barely familiar voice. He got up and began to look for this voice, until he saw a familiar silhouette of a man in the corner of the room. There sat a pale-faced man with red hair. It was Inphys.
- Infiz how are you? Elaine quickly ran up to him.
- Better than before. Infiz replied.
- What happened? Elaine started asking Infiz.
- We've been caught. I didn't see their silhouette. But they certainly did not speak our language. Infiz said.
- Where are the others? Elaine asked quickly.
Jack is in that corner. And Miss Priscilla and Mistress are in the next cell. Infiz pointed to the opposite corner where the Unconscious Jack lay. Elaine approached him and began to wake him up.
- It won't work on him. More extreme measures are needed. Infiz said with a smile. But inside he gloated.
- Extreme measures? Hmm, only one thing comes to mind. Elaine raised his hand and slapped Jack's face as hard as he could.
- AAAAA. Suddenly, someone screamed very loudly, which woke up those who were in the next cell.
- It hurts who hit me. Jack said angrily, stroking his swollen cheek.
Elaine immediately pointed to Infiz, who was sitting in the corner, barely holding back his laughter. Jack glared at Elaine and Infiz.
- How are you guys. A female voice was heard from a nearby cell. It was Elizabeth.
"It's okay if we almost got killed some time ago. Jack said sarcastically.
- What happened at all? Priscilla asked. She didn't understand how they got there. Then Infiz began to explain everything to them. How they lost consciousness, how they were dragged away by two shadows, how they were put in this wooden cage, how they were fed something incomprehensible until they all came to their senses.
- Hey, Infiz. How do you know all this? Jack asked without understanding. He thought Infiz passed out before they were attacked.
I heard everything, even if I didn't see anything. And then I was in a semi-conscious state. I couldn't feel, see, talk, but I could hear. Infiz said looking at Jack.
- Oh, I forgot to finish your treatment. Elizabeth immediately went to the wall. It wanted to stick out its hand to call Infiz. But her hand didn't fit there.
We need to get out of this cell. Elizabeth wanted to find her sword, but she couldn't.
- Where is my sword?
"It was taken by those who brought us here. Infiz replied.
- And I tried to cut those wood bars. But there was no point. Infiz said.
Everyone was a little disheartened.
But you haven't tasted fire. Jack had an idea.
- Indeed. Wood is fuel for fire. You can make it. Elaine said looking at Jack.
Jack concentrated on his strength and flames surrounded his hands. Jack brought his hands close to these wooden bars using his full strength. A lot of fire came out of Jack's hands, which covered the entire grate. A minute later. Jack let go of the bars.
- I can't do it anymore. Jack immediately collapsed to the ground. Prior to this, when Jack first awakened his power, Jack could only release flames for a few seconds. And now he could release for a whole minute.
- Not a scratch on the grille. Elaine said with a sigh. Now they could only sit.
- Priscilla, you can transform into someone strong. Elizabeth asked her friend.
- Now I can only turn into a dragon. Priscilla shook her head.
- Or an insect that can come out of the gap. Suddenly it dawned on her. And not just her, but everyone.
Who can you transform into? Elizabeth asked hopefully. This was the very first good news of the day.
- In a bee. Having said that, Priscilla immediately turned into her. She flew through a gap between the trees and turned back into herself. The key to the grate hung near the exit.
Priscilla approached the exit cautiously. Noticing that no one was there, she quickly took the keys and opened the doors of the bars. First, having freed Elizabeth herself, she went to watch so that no one would see that they were freed.
In the meantime, Elizabeth opened the boys' door and immediately began treating Infiz. Then everyone else. She treated herself last. After that she was very mentally tired. At this time, Jack was watching the neighborhood from the outside. He yawned once, then opened his eyes, and in front of him was a huge red creature.
- And where are you going? You just arrived. We can't let you out of here. Said the huge red creature.
- Waaa. Jack recoiled in shock and looked at the creature in front of him.
Jack's cry attracted the attention of his group. Everyone looked in his direction.
