Chapter 23. Gale's POV.
I wake with my head hurting. I don't remember much. The cranks must have thrown me to the ground and knocked me out.
I blink a few times to get the spots out of my eyes.bonce I can see I look around and notice this place is filled with cranks. There must be a hundred at the most.
I look to the left and see the others. Their ties to a post with their hands above their head and their waists ties to the post as well, and their feet to the bottom of the post so they can remain staying but can't fight. I realize everyone but Eric, Gally, and Cato are here.
I start to wonder why they would take us but not them. I try to move my hand but realize in tied up the same way as well. " Don't fight and don't speak it will just get you slapped." Says Newt next to him.
I turn my head and look at him and nod. I want to ask what's going on but by what he said I know that wouldn't be a good idea, so I stay quiet.
Then I hear the crazy laughter of the cranks. The head crank walks up in front of us and turn towards me and walks till he's in front of me. " Well it's about time you woke. I was beginning to think the hit to the head killed you." Says the head crank.
We hear a small muffled scream and his head snaps over to Minho. He walks towards Minho. Minho is the only one with a gag. " You have something to say then say it." Spat the crank. He's being cruel. Minho can't say anything with that gag on. Then the crank reeled back and swung hitting Minho with a strong blow across the face. Minho's head snapped hard to the side but he looked right back at him. " GO ON SAY IT!!"
Minho still couldn't say anything. Instead he tried to fight. Bad move Minho. The crack hit him with a even harder blow causing Minho to cry out. But the sound was muffled by the gag. Someone needs to stop this. This is hard to watch. He reeled back again. " WAIT PLEASE!!" I yell.
The crank looks at me and smiled. " Why?" Says the crank.
" He can't speak with that gag on." I say.
The crank smiled and took the gag off. " Ok now say it." Ordered the crank.
Minho growled but spoke anyway. " Lay off the others and tell us what the heck you want with us." Says Minho.
" You don't order is around. If you don't remember your only alive right now cause I want you alive till we get the last three guys so I suggest you keep you filthy mouth shut before I decide I don't need you for the plan and kill you where you stand." Says the crank.
Believe it or not that shut Minho up. " Sir." Says a crank from behind him.
The crank leaves to talk to him. " You ok Minho?" Asks Thomas. Minho nods.
" Yeah where would I be if I couldn't take a hit." Says Minho with a smile.
Then the crank came back. " Good news we have another guy." Says the crank.
He then looked behind him and smiled. Five cranks walked up with Eric and threw him to the ground hard. Eric growled but got to his knees. His hands were tied behind his back. He had dried blood trailing down his arms and on his head.
" Tie him up like the others." Says the cranks.
Then there was a small moan. Everyone looked and saw it had come from Four. His eyes fluttered open and he weakly lifted his head. Once they were done tieing Eric up the head cranks walked up to Four. " Well it's about time." Says the head cranks.
Four looked around. He spotted all of us and realized he was tied up. " Dobt fight and don't speak." Says the crank.
" Where.. Are... We?" Was all Four could say. He must not have heard the crank. The cranks reeled back and swung hiting Four on the side of the head that's hurt. Four's head snapped to the side. Splitting pain spread through his head and he cried out in agony.
Eric growled and fought as did Tris. " HEY LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Yelled Eric. Four never shows pain and if it did it must hurt badly.
The cranks laughed. " Aw he's got protectors." Says the crank.
The cranks then turns and walked over to Eric. " You know if I wanted to I could rip out everyone of those piercing you got." Says the cranks. The slightest bit of fear and disgust was shown in Eric's eyes." But I'm not going to."
Eric's eyes shifted to Four then back to the crank who was laughing. " You guys get rest we have a busy day tomorrow." Says the crank then he turned and walked away leaving them.
I look at Four. His blinking rapidly. It must have hurt. Nobody said a word. We just remained silent not sure what would happen. Then the cranks started screaming and fresh fires roared. The crank walked back. " now we're going to do this one a time. We're not waiting any longer. So who wants to die first?" Says the crank.
Great I hope someone's got a plan cause if not were dommed.
