Yeah, I'm very bad at imaging these. I was only 'close' with Arne. I also think you did a really good job with Averi.

“You are what you dare”
I dont intend to
Our hands were bound with a thick cable and we were led across the clearing and through the gate. Katoka was dragged.
I craned my neck to look at Arne but he was busy lifting the hurt man out of the car. He gently carried him into the city and the gate closed behind us. Why had he done this? Had we been betrayed? The men threw us into a large cell and slammed the door, locking it into place. Through the bars, I could see the street, and across that, there was a large, clear enclosure, sealed up and airtight. As I watched, Arne brought the sick man into the enclosure and set him carefully on the ground. The other men sealed the door behind him and turned on something that must have been pumping in air.
“Once in a while they bring them in,” I whipped my head around to see who had spoken. I peered into to shadows and saw no one but the voice continued.
“They watch them change and study them and then when the infection is complete, they shut the air off and watch them die.”
Averi walked to the back of the cell and illuminated it with her glow. There sat a young girl who appeared no taller than five feet. She was pale and thin but had fiery red hair and bright green eyes.
“I,” she whispered, “have to watch them die.”
I turned my attention back to Arne. He was using his talons to cut iron from around the man's ankles.
“They wear those to keep the crushers out,” The girl said “but they get under sometimes.”
“Why are you in here?” I asked, “What is your name?”
“My name” she answered “is Grace and I escaped my strong station about two weeks ago only to be picked up by this lot.”

“You are what you dare”
well now look at you. Hanging on a cliff, leaving me no choice but to take time out of my empty Sunday and write. How could you ruin my procrastination. How could you

“You are what you dare”
Palila stood watching Arne, never once glancing at what was happening behind her. John sat against a wall resting his arms on his knees. I could tell he was stressed.
Watching Arne was the only thing to do so I watched. I watched him draw a long thin knife and I watched him whittle away at the leg of the man. Several other people were gathered outside the enclosure watching as well.
Suddenly, a woman carrying a small baby ran out of a nearby house.
“No!” She shouted “Sam!”
She began to push her way through the crowd and pressed herself up against the clear walls. She pounded on the enclosure with one fist.
“Sam!” Several guards stepped up and dragged her away “No!” she screamed “What is he doing to him!?” She did her best to resist but she was no match against four guards. They let go of her on the edge of the crowd. An old lady stepped over and embraced her, doing what she could to comfort the grieving woman.
Meanwhile, Arne slowly pulled a long brown mass out of Sam’s leg. It was the length of his forearm. He studied it, looking it over, until he abruptly clenched his fist around it, sending pieces of the parasite splattering onto the clear walls around them. He tore some of his cloak off and bound the leg. Arne stood up and ducked through the now-open door. The Guards let the woman come to Sam.
Arne fixed his cloke and straightened his hood. He was approached by his friend from the gate and after a quick exchange, he strode away. He didn't even glance our way as he walked past our cell.

“You are what you dare”
Arne walked past his friends but he couldn’t meet their eyes. He didn’t want to experience the shame he might feel from their confused, angry stares. They didn’t know what he was doing but once they knew they would think it was worth it.
He walked quickly up the street, his powerful strides covering long distances at ease. His cloak billowed behind him and his talons scraped the street, causing a few sparks to flicker here and there.
Arne arrived at his destination, a tall building built of black stone. He was let in by two guards and ushered into a large front hall where he stood and waited. He stood still, his hands clasped in front of him, he subtly flexed his wings.
A sharp pain sprang up in his chest and worked its way outward. He gasped, his breath taken away as his hand shot up and clutched torso. This one was stronger than the others, more fierce.
Two doors in a far wall opened and Arne quickly dropped his hand. His pupils widened and adjusted as he focused on who was coming through.
A tall stately man with a long armed jacket stepped through and closed the door behind him. He slowly approached Arne not because he was frightened but because he knew he was in control. The way he saw it he had all the time in the world.
“I see,” he said in a deep voice, “That you have followed through with our agreement.”
Arne stared at him, unblinking.
He sauntered over to a table and picked up a small tool. The man then pulled his left sleeve up and began adjusting the mechanical arm that had been hidden underneath.
“Please,” he gestured with the other arm, “take your cloak off, you must be roasting.”
Arne slowly drew his hood off his head revealing his feathers and handsome features. He brought his hands up and untied the straps around his neck and pulled the cloak off of his back, revealing his large wings.
“There we go,” the man smiled, “much better.”
“We had a deal, Markus,” Arne stated, “You will keep your word.”
“Oh did we?” Markus exclaimed “Oh that's right! We did.”
Arne’s brow furrowed and he cocked his head.
” Now, you will find, my dear lad,” Markus continued ”that there is a difference between had and have, did and do.” His mouth twisted into a sick smile and Arne’s wings began to fan out.
