Killer's POV weeks later

I peek over the rocks, watching as the Moon Kraken settles on the sand, seeming to relax with a smile.

What about him makes my soul act like this? The flashes of memories have to mean something...But what?

I glance down, seeing it turn into an upside-down heart.

Could it be...love?

Then my mind flashes with memories of sitting on the sand and talking with him, chasing after him or getting chased by him after messing with him, laughing with him...How my soul skipped around him....It all connects....

"Moony....."I say softly

His head snaps up, glancing around.

SHIT!

I quickly duck down behind a rock before he spots me.

No, this can't be right! He's A KRAKEN! Why wouldn't I remember someone I love? But...my soul wouldn't lie...would it?

I stay in place, scared of revealing myself as my mind races with thoughts. I peek out, seeing that he left. I swim to the surface, going to the sanctuary where I am able to calm down. I see Nightmare placing a new plate of food out, and already my soul starts racing, seeming ready to leap to him.

NO! Not him, too!

I freeze up, my mind flashing with memories of him. Snuggling and kisses with laughs and joy together...All those letters...I was in love with him...And the Moon Kraken?

I circle the sanctuary, find Horror on another beach, and crawl beside him. He smiles at me and I glance at him nervously. I need advice...something to help...

"You doing okay there, Killer?"He asks

My face burns, jolting as I snap out of my thoughts.

I bow my head, shaking it and trying to get my soul to slow down

I bow my head, shaking it and trying to get my soul to slow down. I write my most pointed question to get this over with.

"What does love do to the soul? Ooh, Killer...What have you gotten yourself into?"He asks

"It's not me! It's my soul and I don't understand why it changes shape around that Nightmare guy and the Moon Kraken!"

He chuckles, making my face burn more, and I glance away.

"You certainly set your soul on interesting characters, Killer."He says teasingly

I cross my arms and hear him sigh.

"You should just enjoy it. Follow your soul and don't worry. Love is a feeling to savor."He says

"Follow my soul? It's pulling me in two different directions without explanation!"

"You'll figure it out."He says

I sigh, nodding. Then he heads back through the trees after collecting some seashells. I wipe the sand, erasing my writing in the sand.
