Chapter 27- A Friendly Visit

-Socks POV-

"Hey, guys!"

My heart raced as I listened to the voices from my bedroom. I couldn't trust myself to be outside of this barrier. Gulvic's been hiding in my mind since Nadwe splashed the lemonade into his chest mouth, only talking to me mentally. But, who knows if he'd take control again if that meant he could possibly murder someone who was clueless about the situation. My sludge-brain shouted at me,

"I like people, and you know those people. Go out and see them again!"

I watched a tentacle sneakily slide out of my back, and slither along the wall toward the bedroom door. I clawed at it and attempted to pull it back, but failed, as the coat of black sludge kept me from getting a grip on it. I only ended up with gloves covered in slime. The tentacle wrapped around the doorknob and turned it, eager to escape and take control.

The door cracked just two inches before I grabbed the yellow pen off my nightstand, and stabbed the serpent with the metal end. Gulvic screeched, making me feel both a headache, and a pain like I'd stabbed my own hand. Black spurted out of the tentacle and onto the wooden floor, probably staining it for good. I heard Blaze growl in my mind,

"Pramn- what is that thing."

"It's called a pen."

"And why did you shove it into your tentacle?!"

"My tentacle? Weird, I thought it was yours."

I heard him growl in frustration in my brain as he took control of my right arm to slap my left forearm, where I had gotten the enderman bite about two weeks ago. A small, ringing pain echoed through on impact. I had completely forgotten about it, as it healed seemingly overnight. As I was starting to question it, Gulvic mumbled,

"I'm really starting to wish I never healed that bite."

I froze, and slowly reminded him,

"..You realize I can hear you, right."

Without thinking, my body sat up and turned to sit at the edge of the bed. Hopping down onto the carpet-topped floor, walking a step at a time to the door.

"No, no, no. Gulvic, stop."

"I will dropkick that crab man so far that he touches the moon."

"Why are you dragging Tbh into this?!"

I felt my left hand touch the doorknob and slowly start turning it to the right. I tried to fight it, but the door was already wide open with my feet already on the other side. I bet my irises had the red tint that I absolutely dispised. Again, I couldn't control myself, but I was conscious. It's such a weird feeling. Every step taken leaves a tingling sensation on my feet, and every touch of a wall ripples through my hands. My arms rise to tuck a loose hair strand under my visor, and they don't follow my command to come back to my sides.

-Ally POV-

My first impression from the outside of this base was: "Wow. How do we navigate this place."

We were told to not enter through the front, as apparently it was too complicated and not 'set up' yet. Walking along the gravel path and up the porch, me, Thomas, James, and Oscar reached the door. The three boys also went by some nicknames from highschool which were Tbvg, Joocie, and Oof. Oof was a bit behind us, as he was carrying his luggage in. The rest of us thought we could get our own stuff later. After knocking, Blaza Comneer, who was also a friend from my graduation class, opened the door. He still wore a bear-related sweatshirt and pink shorts, like he always did. He also wore his sunglasses inside, but I didn't question it. He exclaimed,
