Squids! ( a skydoesminecraft story)

Chapter 4- Do I have to?

My best friends practically DRAGGED me out of my safety home. Did they really have to go squid hunting and bring me along?! Deadlox could apparently see  I was annoyed, so he let go me and sped to Truemu's side, who was ahead of us.

"Guys! Why on earth did you have to bring me with you! What did I ever do!? And what made you guys want to go squid hunting anyways!?" I asked, groaning after me asking my blurt of questions.

I could see the dirty, blocky smirk on Deadlox's face.

"If we didn't bring you along, then me and Truemu would surely be kidnapped, but they are more afraid of you then anything else," said Deadlox.

We were walking down a dirty dirt path, and it was starting to get dark.

"Er, guys? Yea, it's starting to get dark. You know how scared I am of those monsters out there. And you guys KNOW how I can scream my lungs into a hospital."

I suddenly realized there was something following us. Something, or SOMEONE. I quickly sped up to Truemu's side, and hugged his arm. He shook it off, and balanced the hunting gear on his right shoulder.

I wish I could smack him so hard right now.

I glided under Truemu and came up on Deadlox's side. He gave me a confused look as I hugged his arm.

"Um, what are you doing?" he said as he started to shake his arm. "Protecting myself. If anyone would die first, it has to be you, Deadlox," I said, starting to shiver, of that was possible.

"Okay, now you have to get off of me," said Deadlox, yanking his arm so then I fell to the ground.

I murmured bad words underneath my breath as I dusted myself off. I had the slightest feeling that someone or something was following us, I just didn't know what. I ran back up to my "best friends" and smacked each of them on the arm.

I swear, if there was a pool of lava somewhere, I would high five them into there.

"You guys are so rude!" I said as I rubbed my blocky shoulder.

My head shot upright once I heard a shuffling in the bushes behind me. Deadlox and Truemu must've heard it to, because they looked as worried as I did. 

All of a sudden, a squid jumped out of the bushes.

****

"EWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" I screamed. "KILL IT!"  Deadlox and Truemu stepped on it. Soon, all that were left were ink sacks.  "What the creeper heck?" I asked, rubbing my head. This made no sense. The only place squids were allowed in the swampy vast.

We continued on our path, once I realized it, I shuddered. If I was hearing rumbling in the bushes for the half past hour, then a squid was traveling, without any water.

I paused, caught in my thoughts.

"Deadlox, Truemu, I have a theory and a worry," I said, furrowing my eyebrows. "Oh no, Sky's thinking, everybody listen!" said Deadlox as he inched closer to me.

"If I had heard the squids for the half past hours, then they must've been traveling... without no water," I said, pausing for dramatic effect.

Deadlox and Truemu both grabbed me, and dashed to the nearest tree. Truemu, Deadlox and I bent down under tree where we were safe. It was nighttime, so the mobs should be out. "Maybe we should sleep underground for the night," suggested Deadlox, who looked like he was about to cry.

We were all terrified that squids were going to one day take over without the use of water, since it was their strength and weakness.

We dug a small hole in the ground and lit a torch.

"Okay guys, sleep up, we got a whole day tomorrow of squid hunting! I said as I nuzzled into my bed, which was extremely uncomfortable since I was right next to the guys.

My eyes were suddenly about to close when I heard a loud thumping on the ceiling. At first, I had thought it was maybe a night guard, but then the thumping grew louder, until it was unbearable. All three of us shared a stare or horror.

Who was it?
