...
Celeste was just a average Octoling, Basil green eyes, Orange tentacle-like hair, at the age of 14, she lived in the big city and had a loving family. Her mother, father, and her little brother. She was very excited because she turned 14, and she wanted to participate in Turf Wars because her friends bragged about how fun they were, and how she couldn't participate because she was too young at the time. She could finally prove to them all that she could kick their butts in a turf war match! She ran out the door- her mother stopped her.
"Please be careful out there Celeste, your brother is sick, I have to stay with him."
She said, wrapping a scarf around Celeste's neck, it was sort of a chilly day, and Celeste was wearing a jacket, t shirt, and shorts along with her boots. Not great for the chilly weather.
"I'll be fine mom! I went out a lot on my own before!"
Celeste said excitedly, not able to stay standing in one place.
"Goodbye hon."
Her mother said, letting her go.
"Loveyoubyeeeeee!!"
Celeste said quickly, running out the door and running down the path.
...
20 Minutes later.
Celeste regretted running, She was pretty wiped from running, so she was now walking to the designated area for Turf wars. She saw a coin roll by into a alleyway, she wanted that coin. She had a habit of collecting stuff, including money. She walked into the alleyway, it smelt of junk in there. She covered her nose in disgust and picked up the coin, observing it closely, it was mesmerizing...So mesmerizing...
Celeste shoved the coin into her pocket....
"Wha..."
She backed up against the Alleyway wall, seeing someone approach her who was much taller then her, they had some weird shades on and a weird hairstyle..
..?
!
She was PUSHED to the ground, the taller figure tightened the scarf around her neck and Celeste choked slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. They stomped their boot onto Celeste's back to keep her in place.
.. It hurt so bad.
"I got another brainwashed Octoling, send reinforcements."
Celeste understood this language, it was the Octoling language.. She barely knew the inkling language.
"W-what do you mean brainwas-!?!"
Before Celeste could finish her sentence her face was slammed into the floor, causing her a bloody nose on impact. She cried.
"Silence! You need to learn to not speak back to your own kind!.. Fucking traitor!.. Your parent's brainwashed you!"
This Octoling went on for a bit, cussing out Celeste and yelling at her until two other Octolings that also had weird pairs of shades on their faces.
"Inkling clothing on her too! What filth!"
One of them exclaimed, the Octoling that attacked Celeste took their boot off of Celeste.
"Sit up you sack of shit!"
One of the Octolings commanded at Celeste, Celeste sat up immediately, her nose all inky.
"Such a fucking pussy! Like the inklings!"
One of the Octolings grabbed Celeste by the arm harshly and forced her onto her feet.
"S-scarf.."
Celeste choked again, the Octoling saw this and loosened it.
"T-thanks.."
She mumbled, She shouldn't be thanking these.. monsters! Celeste realized this and looked at the attacker Octoling in the eyes. It's almost like they were soulless with no regret whatsoever about what IT just did to Celeste.
"W-wait let me go!"
She'd cry out, her attackers didn't listen, shoving a cloth over her face.
...
It tastes sweet....
Celeste passed out.
They drugged her with chloroform to make her pass out.24 HOURS LATER.
Celeste woke up in a dark room, her eyes had trouble adjusting to the dark. She was on a cold floor, her scarf was gone and there was dry ink all over her face from her nose.
"... H-hello?.."
She croaked out, sitting up and trying to look for anyone nearby
She was hit by the dizziness that the chloroform caused but she stood up anyways.
"I-is anyone here..?"
Her voice shook, she tried to step forward but it felt like something heavy was attached to her leg. She looked down, a heavy chain was attached to her leg and was weighted down by a heavy metal ball.
".. She's finally awake.."
"Poor thing.."
"She was drugged!.."
Whispers echoed. A couple Octolings were looking into her cell, feeling terrible for her.
"BRING YOUR COMPASSION SOMEWHERE ELSE!"
Someone yelled at the small group of Octolings, they scurried away in fear of what could happen to them.
They banged onto the bars with a metal pole.
"YOU! WHATS YOUR NAME!?"
They yelled at Celeste, demanding.
"C-celeste.. S-sir.."
She shook in fear, looking down, not wanting to make eye contact with another one of these monsters.
"Put on this uniform. Now."
He slid a uniform that looked like to be Octarian Armor.
"W-why?.."
Celeste shivered, not knowing why. She didn't like the look of this uniform, it.. looked evil somehow.
"You're wearing stupid inkling styled clothing."
He said, tapping his foot.
"T-theres a big chain.. I can barely move.."
Celeste said, struggling to move closer to the man... maybe he was nice... maybe the moon was made out of cheese too.
The cell opened.
...
He stepped in, removing the chain quickly from Celeste and shutting the cell again.
"Put it on."
He turned his back to face her, not watching.. he's not a creep.
Celeste grabbed the uniform and scooted into the corner, changing quickly, already uncomfortable from the uniform. It fit her perfectly though.
"D-done.."
She folded her clothes and put them on a table nearby, walking up to the bars.
He handed her a pair of shades.
"We can't give you the real shades yet because apparently you're too young. You have to wear those. Think of it as training for the real deal."
She nodded and put them on, still shivering lightly.
He opened the cell and she stepped out, standing there, not knowing what to do.
"Go on! To the training ground idiot!"
He jabbed her in the back with the pole, making her step forward.
Tears welled up in Celeste's eyes again as she went to the training grounds, the signage helped a lot.
"Oh my god!.."
"Theres dried ink on her..!"
"At least she made it out alive.."
More voices. The Octoling group watched her walk on, she looked over, too nervous to speak with them.".. I guess this is my life now.. I don't know what to think of it.. Maybe I can escape soon.."
".. I miss my family."
...
Back at home her family was devastated, they couldn't find her! Her friends didn't know anything and said she never showed up to the designated Turf War area!Missing flyers where everywhere.
"Please.. Help me find my baby! She couldn't of wondered off too far!.."
