☆shadow of the past: The Deceptive Savior☆

《ch.4: should we find her?: part 2》

×Barnacles's pov×
We continued to look for evidence... something to tell us the truth...

What did the traitor even....

want?

I wish I knew...

We went to check on Shellington again...

He was fine...

We checked on Paani.. he was fine...

We decided to leave someone awake to watch the storage room....

I'd start, Kwazii will go after...

Kwazii checked something, his badge was gone Aperenently "CAN SOMEONE STOP STEALING MY THINGS!?" Kwazii had growled..

I yawned watching the room... an hour past, Kwazii took over...

×Kwazii's pov×
I sighed after a while something fell... I went to check it out... I found my badge,  brown fur and green fur...

I took them to the captain, I didn't want to wake him but...

The next morning we watched the security cameras in the storage room... nothing...

×Barnacles's pov×
Another week passed... Shellington's condition berely changed...

We found some evidence a Every other day...

Some fit dashi...

Some fit Tweak...

Some fit Kwazii...

Until one day...

We found more security footage in the storage room...

We watched it... and the hood fell...

It was Tweak...

Kwazii started to run to him "YOU TRAITOR" Kwazii growled, I held him back...

"I just wanted to... protect you..." tweak said... "poisoning one of us wasn't the way... now go Tweak... you are no longer an octonaut..." I said....

×Tweak's pov×
I swam out of the octopod... I went to a close by forest, I thought of my family, Twig, Twine and Ranger Marsh...

I can't go to them... I told myself...

Twig already knows what I did...

I sighed... I walked through the forest...

I went to another island and sat under a tree...

×Barnacles's pov×
I walked into Tweak's room... I sighed... we didn't let her explain fully...

We had been too upset with her...

Her words "I just wanted to... protect you..." playing repeat in my head...

How was poisoning Shellington saving us?

I suddenly found a...

Video?

I picked the tape off the floor...

It was titled 'poisoned reasons'

I played it....

It showed tweak talking to a green-Red Bunny...

It was Twig, Tweak's older sister...

~in video~

×Tweak's pov×
"I had no choice twig!" I said...

~out of video~

×Barnacles's pov×
She had no choice?

What did she mean...?

No choice?

~in video~

×Twig's pov×
"But poisoning Shellington?" I said... "she said poison him or attack the octopod.." tweak said...

~out of video~

×Barnacles's pov×
Twig and Tweak continued to talk for a while.. after the video ended... I gathered the others...

"One of our own is missing and alone" I said...

"But we're all here captain..?" Peso said, Shellington looked around...

"Was tweak exiled?"

×Shellington's pov×
I wasn't told what happened fully before... "She was... she poisoned you" Kwazii said...

×Kwazii's pov×
"HOW did you even guess that..." I said "1. Shes not here 2... I honestly have no clue" Shellington said, we saw the video Barnacles saw...

"We can't just leave her out there thinking..."

That she's failed us...

"Yes.." inkling started... "her intentions were pure-hearted but her methods... were not" inkling said...

"We should find her..." Shellington said...

We then left....

I hope she's...

safe....
