The Battle For Sky Book 1: A Dark Secret

Chapter 16

Fredi's POV

Wait did Sky just say he doesn't remember ever doing that? He can't! He just can't forget something like that *snaps fingers*.

"Are you sure you don't remember any of that?" Einshine asks quickly and worriedly. I want to know that as well.

"I don't, but this isn't the first time either though. I need to talk to my father about this" Sky replied in barely a whisper.

I can tell that something's bothering him. He was looking at the floor and was starting to sway. Uh oh. Without even thinking, I rushed to Sky's side and caught him just in time. He was just about to land on the floor when I caught him. What's going on? Why is Sky so weak? Most all why is Sky so cold!

"Sky why are you so cold? I mean geez, your cold as snow!" I asked a bit too loud.

"I-I don't know, why does this always have to happen to me!?!?" Sky said furiously.

Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the rest of the guys were starting to wake up. Dang it!!! I got to get Sky back in bed.

"Let's get you back in that bed, you don't look so good" I said in a serious and stern tone.

"Ok" he replied while clutching his head. He isn't looking too good, I'll talk to Herobrine about it after dinner.

Everyone was starting to actually get up by the time Sky climbed back in the bed. I mean once his head touched the pillows, he was out cold. Ty was the first one to see Sky climb back into the bed. He was about to say something but stopped himself before he did. I wonder why he's so worried about Sky. I understand why he'd be worried, but he wouldn't leave Sky's side until we convinced him to get some sleep while he could. I wonder why that's so...

Ty's POV

I woke up seeing Sky climbing back into Herobrine's bed. I was about to ask him how he was feeling, but stopped myself when I saw him pass out the moment his head hit the pillows. I smiled at how goofy he looked, one of his arms was hanging over the side of the bed, his face was half buried in the pillows. But the weird thing was that he was still wearing his sunglasses. I quietly walked over him, and gently pulled off his sunglasses, and placed them on the side table next to him that way he wouldn't freak out about where they were. I started heading towards the guys. I started to wonder about why I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

"So how did you sleep last night?" I asked laughing as I looked at each one of them in turn. Quintin had his tie half undone. Ian's, Mitch's, mine, Jerome's, and even Seto's hair was everywhere. It was sticking up in all sorts of weird places, and some of us looked as though we drooled on ourselves.

"It was a lot better than I thought" replied Quintin.

We all started laughing at that moment and started to agree with what Quintin said. I mean the couch was a lot more comfortable than it looked. I mean I was passed out cold in 5 minutes flat.

But Seto kept looking at floor and staring off into space.

"What's wrong Seto? I can tell that something's bothering you, so you might as well just spill the beans" I said sternly and a bit too forceful in my opinion.

"Well all I can say that you guys aren't going like what I'm about to say, but I might as well tell you guys what happened while you guys were asleep" he replied with serious expression on his face.

Well whatever it is, it must be important to have Seto so worked up like this.

"Well if it's that important, then how about we talk about it after we clean ourselves up? I mean look at us!" I said smiling as I pointed to everyone except for Sky, cause you know, he's still sleeping.

They looked at each other and instantly started to burst out laughing as they saw each other. Seto just glared at us and said "Shhhh!" and pointed over to Sky was about to wake up, but only wrapped the blanket around him tighter.

"Sorry" we all whispered as we saw what we nearly did.

We started to head out the door towards the showers. I'm even surprised that they have water in the Nether. I looked out the windows on our way there, and I saw a Nether portal that had water flowing out of it. I instantly thought that must've been how the squids got here. I got a good look at it, and saw that there were obsidian bars around it. Well that threw that idea out the window. We continued towards the showers and each of us had a nice long, hot shower. We started heading back to the room when Herobrine appeared next us with an urgent expression on his face.

"What is it Herobrine?" Ian asked calmly.

"It's Sky, he's cold as ice! I don't know why though, since he's in the Nether this shouldn't be like this. The Nether is his domain, just like it's mine. Which means that he's even more powerful here. There's something terribly wrong here" Herobrine replied frantically. He is really worried about Sky.

We all started running towards the room but Herobrine just stopped us. We all looked at him with confused expressions on our faces.

"It'll be faster if I teleport you guys there" he explained to us. And with that, we were teleported to Herobrine's room.

Ian's POV

We were teleported back to the room and this is what we see. We saw that the room filled with squids and the person we never wanted to see again was here. Standing next to the bed was Dawn and standing there next to her was a squid with it's tentacles holding Sky. She looked over to us and just smiled that smile that I always hated. Man do I hate her.

"Thanks for making my job easier you guys. I mean, I wouldn't have been able to get Sky this easily if he was still at the base. So I thank you for making my job easier." She turned around started to walk to over to portal she had conjured up with a snap of her fingers.

While she did that, we tried make our way to her and her squid assistant. But the squids kept on coming and making it harder to get to her. She was able to get through the portal with Sky. Once she did, the last of the remaining squids tried to make their way to portal. We were too late to stop Dawn. We couldn't save Sky, even though we promised him that we wouldn't let anyone near him. We-no I failed him, even though he and I made a promise to never leave each other's sides. Now it's time to go and get my friend back. I looked at the guys and saw that they were thinking the thing same thing as me. It's good to know that we're all on the same page. Now it's time to devise a plan of strategy to save our friend.
