                                 Kapitel 11: 
                                 ------------


It had been two days since the body change. Day three was just starting and
Johnny already had enough.
The whole night he had laid awake and had looked down at the sleeping Robert.
Would anything happen, he could call out to Nathan. Whether the crazy one
would've seen the danger in a concussion was the question. Would he told him to
shut up? Or would his obsessiveness drive him to call help? Maybe he should have
tried this method, but he was not so sure that the guy could not tell if it
really was that serious. And if he knew Johnny tried to lie...He had shuddered
away from that thought. Better not to push it, right?

Robert stirred in his sleep and brought Johnny out of his reveriy. "Rob?", he
asked and reached out cautiosly. "You awake?" Really, the eyes of the now
scotish man fluttered open. "Ow", he muttered, "My head's killing me." He rolled
onto his back and put one hand onto his forehead. Then, his eyes landed on his
friend. "What time is it?" "Do I look like I have a watch?", was the sarcastic
retort, "I'm alway called downstairs by you, so forgive me if I do not care what
time you decide our training should be!" He snorted even, frustrated with the
simple question, the situation, the crazy one out there...
Robert got up and sat across him now. "Angry much?", he mocked, raising one
eyebrow, "At least you're not the one he's after." Johnny scratched his cheek
and looked on the ground. He was ashamed to snap like that. He knew Robert was
not the reason why he was here now - a small part noticed that it soehow was,
but he ignored it - and he should hate Nathan for this. But what was he supposed
to do? Stay put and let the man have his way with them? Certainly not. He was
not comfortable in this situation - heck, who would be? But it was no reason to
punish his best friend, he knew it, he just couldn't help himself. And hence he
snapped again.
But now there was no way he could just storm away and flee from Roberts retort.
He sighed as he tried to make at least one thing right. "Sorry, that was unfair.
You have it much worse than me." Silence, than, as he looked up, a totally
astonished face. "What?", he asked. "You really apologized for that?", was
Roberts question which confused the now german greatly. "I should be the one to
apologize! If it were not for me, you would never have been in here!"

"Sure. Like you knew this was gonna happen", he said sourly and looked away. Now
Robert was being the selfless one? A hit in the head was all it took? He should
have known than much sooner. Drawing himself from this pleasant and ironic
thoughts he listened as the door to the cells opened and Nathan stepped through
it. "Oh, already awake, huh? Had nice dreams and all?" His voice sounded not
like the guy was happy. More like he tried to supress his anger. "Let me see if
I can make this any more pleasant", he grumbled and wlked over to Johnny,
fixated the jounger one with his stare. "Change this. Now", he ordered. Johnny
blinked. Once, twice. Then Robert snorted. "It's not that easy." Nathan threw
him an angry look. "It better does or I'll make it happen." Johnny shook his
head as a starteld laugh built its way up his throat. "Not the whole world is
centered around you, you crazy. It won't work without our bitbeasts."
Nathan balled his fists, brought his arm right in front of Johnnys face. "Than
make it work without them!"
"Nope, he won't", called a new voice and Johnny thought his ears decived him.
