"Gura?...."

"Hey! Stop pretending already! Get up!" Ame shouted

Ame kept shouting but there was no response from Gura. When Ame's shouting ended, all that remained was the sound of Gura's blood dripping from the ground.

Driven by anger, Ame lunged at Cthulhu without any plans. She struggled as much as she can, she dodged and shot-off tentacles that seemed to regenerate endlessly.

But fatigued settled on her body and her movements Became dull resulting on her being captured by one of the tentacles.

Cthulhu grabbed her by the neck and slowly choked her.

"Ack...s..t..op.." Ame struggled to speak

"Hush now, it'll all be over soon"

"F..r..ee...Nyar..la..tho.tep...fi..ght"

Ame's words intrigued Cthulhu and released her.

Upon release, She immediately gasped for air.

"What did you say?" Cthulhu asked

"*Pant* *pant*" Ame was still out of breathe, she thought about what to say but seeing gura laying on the ground in a pool of blood made her ran over to her.

A tentacle immediately went in front of her to block her off.

"Answer me!" Cthulhu shouted

Ame looked at Cthulhu and spoke

"We need you To Fight!" Ame shouted out of anger

"Fight Nyarlathotep! In exchange we'll let you go!"

"Although killing Nyarlathotep is my goal, I don't need your help to achieve it, do I?"

"Don't bluff, I know all about what Ina did to you. She spent all her time here researching on ways to trap you here. It might not keep you here forever but you know your not getting out anytime soon!"

Cthulhu couldn't refute what Ame said.

"Do we have a deal or not?" Ame asked

".....deal"

"That's good, now hurry up an-"

"On one condition" Cthulhu said

"What's that?"

"At the end of our deal, I'll keep this girl's soul"

"What?..." Ame asked in shock

"This girl prevented my escape for many eons, I'll help you, but give me this girl's soul when were done" Cthulhu said

Ame gritted her teeth and clenched her fist until it bled.

"Fine" Ame said

"Splendid"

Cthulhu then made a magic circle that surrounded them both.

"With this the deal is sealed, if the other person breaks the deal, the person who broke the deal has to give up everything to the other person" Cthulhu declared

Ame was regretting her decision already. But she couldn't delay any longer as she needs to save Gura.

Ina's body then came back to normal.

"Ugh what happened?" Ina asked

"Gura! Hey Gura! Hang in there!" Ame held Gura who was covered in blood

"Ame! What happened?!" Ina asked in shock

"I'll explain later! First we need to save her!"

"Hold on I'll heal her with a spell" Ina made a magic circle but it broke
