Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 9: Lost And Alone

It was a very gloomy morning. The sun wasn't out, the birds weren't chirping, the only thing that could be heard were the footsteps of Bella, Coraline, Yumi, and Obsidian. They were holding up umbrellas from the slight drizzling outside and...all of them were upset. Coraline had a little bouquet of flowers in her hand while Bella had a bag of candy, Yumi had a small clay tablet of some kind, and Obsidian had a little plushie. The four of them walked into a hospital and dried off their umbrellas before walking up to the main counter.

Front desk Inkling: how may I help you?

Bella: we're here to see a friend.

As Bella started talking to the Front Desk Inkling, Obsidian began looking around the waiting room to see many Inklings and Octolings....completely silent. some Octolings were crying silently to themselves while some Inklings were sitting there with very gloomy looks on their faces. The elevator door opened up and an Inkling girl and boy walked out together while holding hands. The Inkling girl was on the brink of tears and Obsidian saw the boy grasp her hand tighter while covering his own face. Obsidian almost shed tears herself but she let out a tiny sigh, clearly feeling bad for the two.

Front Desk Inkling: Miles.....*type type*.room two hundred 'n twelve on the fourth floor.

Bella: thank you.

Bella walked over to the elevator and the three followed behind her while staying silent. when they all got in the elevator, and after pressing the button, the elevator headed up to the fourth floor. The doors opened up once they reached their floor, then they walked out and continued to make their way down the very.....scary hallway. Yumi looked at one of the doors that were slightly creaked open as they walked past and she caught a little glimpse of an Inkling girl on her knees in front of a bed....Yumi could hear the heart monitor within the room let out a very long beep....along with the sniffles of the Inkling.

Yumi:....

The four reached room two hundred 'n twelve but when they got there, they saw an Inkling girl leaning up against the wall and crossing her arms and her eyes were closed, shocking all of them.

Coraline:.....Gabby?

Gabby slowly opened her eyes and looked over at the four, then got off of the wall while still keeping her casual, stern police squid face.

Gabby: you all finally made it.

Bella: what are you doing here?

Gabby: I'm just here to tell you guys what actually happened yesterday because I'm sure you four are a little confused since this is all so sudden.

Obsidian:.....y-yes....

Gabby: well...your friend, Miles was attacked in his apartment last night by a girl from the Fireflies squad.

Coraline:......don't tell me....

Gabby: *nods* Willow.

Bella: wait...why did she attack him?

Gabby: we did some research on her and found out that she has......a lot of problems, which is what caused her to lash out and almost kill your friend.

Yumi:....

Obsidian: w-well....where is Willow now?

Gabby: me and my squad locked her up in a mental asylum.

Bella: thank the Great Zapfish...

Coraline: Is Miles at least......ok?

Gabby:.....*shakes her hand* eeeeeh.

Bella: sheesh...what did Willow do to him?

Gabby: well she attacked him with a knife....two knives to be exact.
