PIGGY BOOK 3: THE MILITARY'S PROBLEM

CHAPTER 31 (Tigry)

Willow, looked at me then at Zizzy.

"I'll go help them, since I have no weapon you and Mr Stitchy should try and take down the octopus thing." She said.

I nodded in reply, Willow ran towards Zizzy and Minitoon. Mr Stitchy came over to me.

"Stay behind me, I can't get infected so it'll be safer behind me." Mr Stitchy said.

"Understood." I said, I pulled out my silver knife. I got behind Mr Stitchy.

"Senso, tyran." Mr Stitchy said, his lantern glew red, one of the beast's, eyes, stopped glowing red.

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Absorbed some of it's vision, he can now see himself in one eye." Mr Stitchy replied.

"Sweet." I said. The beast didn't like what Mr Stitchy did to it. It slapped one of it's blue and purple tentacles, on the Boat, the force of the impact made me fall over. The boat tipped sideway. I fell downwards on the floor, my head slammed into a door. My head throbbed with pain. A tentacle wrapped itself around me. I tried to break free, but it was no use, I was brought next to the beast's head, infront of me was Pony.

"Nice of you to join me." He said.

"I wish that was true." I said, I stabbed my knife into the tentacle. The beast howled in pain, the tentacle unrapped around me. I fell, I saw the beast let go of Pony. We plunged into the water. Immediately my body felt ice cold. My teeth chattered, my brain screamed for help. Ponies glasses and hat were gone, I felt on top of my head, my hat had gone. I could see, my hat drifting to the bottom of the ocean. I screamed, my voice was, muffled because of the water. My scarf unwrapped itself around my neck, and it fell down too, I managed to catch it in time luckily. I grabbed Ponies hand and we swam to the surface. Mr Stitchy was busy fighting the beast. The beast splashed water at him, but Mr Stitchy wasn't affected by it. He shot fire from out of his lantern. The beast screeched. Me and Pony swam to the other side of the boat. Zizzy, Minitoon and Willow were on deck.

"Do you mind helping us?" Pony asked.

"Thrust your legs upward as hard as you can on the count of three." Willow said, "One, two three!" On three me and Pony shot out of the water, Willow grabbed my hand and Zizzy grabbed Ponies. They pulled us back onto the deck. Minitoon ran off to help, Mr Stitchy. He was trying to get it's attention. The beast had it's full attention on Mr Stitchy. Fish infected, with diver masks, helmets on, jumped on deck. Willow put her fists in front of her face. Zizzy pulled out her rusty pipe. I stabbed two of them, Willow kicked one and punched one, Zizzy slashed at two, and Pony punched two. Giraffy, and Katie came out of a door. Katie, was wearing a nurse's outfit, and Giraffy didn't have his hat, or bat.

"What's going-" He started, but then a tentacle, slapped them, into the door they, came out of, they tumbled, down some metal stairs. Me and Willow gasped, we looked at Pony and Zizzy. They ran to Minitoon and Mr Stitchy. Me and Willow ran downstairs, we carried, Katie and Giraffy, upstairs then back down some other stairs, to the medical room. We layed them down on some beds, then we ran upstairs again. Suddenly, the, world, was turned upside-down, literally. The boat tilted completely sideways, then upside down. I clung onto a metal pole for dear life, Willow hung onto my tail, I didn't mind at the moment. The ship, was shook three times. Willow fell into the ocean.

"NO!" I screamed, trying to grab her, but it was too late. Unfortunately, I started to lose strength after a while. My arm ached. I couldn't hold on anymore I fell. I could see, Willow falling to the bottom, of the ocean. Her eyes were closed, she, was knocked out, she couldn't take care of herself. I swam downwards, reaching for her, it seemed like the world was working against me, everytime I was close to grabbing, her she was just out of reach. My body throbbed, with pain, it was too cold for me. 'Just die Tigry, give in.' A voice said. 'Don't listen to him, Tigry you can do this.' Mr, Stitchies voice said. 'GIVE UP, YOUR EFFORTS ARE USELESS, YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED!' The other voice said. 'YOU ARE STRONG, TIGRY YOU WILL SUCCEED YOU WILL! "Mr Stitchies voice shouted." I will. " I whispered." I will. " I said." I WILL! " I screamed. I pushed with my legs and arms, I shot downwards, I grabbed onto, Willow's scarf. I dragged her to the surface. I gasped, for air. I threw Willow on deck, that must have hurt her. The boat was now back on the water. I climbed back onto deck. I performed, CPR, on Willow. She coughed, she, spewed out water. "Don't ever do that to me again, I thought you were dead." I said angrily.

"Shut up, tiger." She said, she grabbed my T-shirt, and she pushed my lips against hers. That definitely shut me up. I kissed back, why? I had no idea! She pulled away, she smiled at me. I stared at her.

"Wow you sure know how to kiss, wolf." I said. Water showered over me and Willow, but we were already drenched so it hardly mattered. The beast had gone. Mr Stitchy put his hands together.

"That, was quite difficult." He said.

"Yeah." Minitoon agreed.

"You can say that again." Zizzy said.

"Yeah, and I can't see." Pony said.

"Don't worry, I'll guide you." Zizzy and Pony walked through a door then disappeared.

"Tigry where are your-" Minitoon started.

"At the bottom of the ocean." I replied sadly.

"Oh." Minitoon replied, then he followed Zizzy and Pony. Mr Stitchy looked at us.

"Yes, I can, speak inside your brain, and I can read people's minds." Mr Stitchy said. "Like for instance, I know that you two-"

"Shut it." Willow, said, she put her hand on Mr Stitchies lips.

"Now where, were we?" She, asked me, then me and Willow walked into our cabin...
