My head slowly turned around, and saw big, ugly eyes staring straight into mine.  I dropped Kermit, and backed up. Following Kermit was a BAD decision. I never thought I'd see Big Blue again.

I kept on backing up until I hit a wall. No, it was another squid. I shivered as I looked in the back of me.

It was... MustacheTacos.

I felt like breaking down and crying. Those two were the leaders, the big macho's of the pack, and they could kill anyone they wanted. Even if I'd try to run, they would come right after me.  

This just got really intense.

I had no idea what I was supposed to do, so I backed away from MustacheTacos, and sent him a sincere smile. I shrugged my shoulders, and retreated back into the bushes with Truemu and Deadlox.

"Guys, these guys aren't good, we have to retreat," I whispered, a bead of sweat rolling down my face. They both nodded at once, and crept down another path, which lead a small house. My eyebrows furrowed.

It smelled like squid.

Squids couldnt be cooking other squids! It'd be like a pig eating bacon! I had to check this out. I motioned the other guys to follow me down the path, and they did it without hesitation.  I soon had my back pressed up against a wall, and the smell grew more intense.

I scrunched up my nose.

I waved my hand back and forth indicating for Truemu and Deadlox to stay back. I crept closer and closer, having to pinch my nose in order for the stench not to enter.

There must've been something gastly up in there. 

When I opened the nearby window, a stench hit my like a bat. I took one more fresh whiff of outisde, and entered. Holding my breath was the only way to survive.

As I entered, something suddenly caught my eyes. There were swords, potions, and hats lieing all around.

I looked around confused, when I suddenly knew where i was.

A witched hut.

I backed away, hoping that her sensors hadn't noticed me. Then, I heard a crash of glass. Being daring, I slowly made my way to the kitchen, where i heard a cursing witch. A squid was in the boiling pot of hot water.

It was another one of my friends. I couldn't get to his pleading eyes, or the witch would poison me and throw me in there too.

I couldnt help it. My fingers were shaking rapidly, and my lips turned into a skinny blocky line.

The fear tried to escape my lips, but i kept it locked in there. Even though I didnt like squids, the one, cooking in the pot, reminded me of many good memories.  I could see the squid was still alive, since the pot wasn't boiling yet. The witch was searching through many cabnits, since a witch had many geniuine spices. 

I moved closer and closer towards the pot, hoping the witch didnt suddenly turn around and poison me.I had my back pressed up against the wall, and was creeping towards the pot, crouching now. The squid had notcied me, and his eyes were as huge as disco balls.

There was no way to show surrender since I'd probably knock something over if I put my hands up, so i began to untie the squid from the rope that hung it over the now boiling pot.

If i messed up, then we'd all be in serious trouble.

If I messed up, then I would be in hot meatloaf, the squid would be a meatloaf, and Kermit would  be grinded physically into a meatloaf when Truemu and Deadlox would be done with him.

I was just thinking, Kermit. What an idiot. But i had to seroius now, this was a life, death situation. I was scared out of my mind.

Beads of blocky sweat poured down my face like a waterfall, as i tried attempt #2 at uniteing the knot. I just wanted to give up, but i couldnt just let a childhood buddy die! That would be terrible, and something that would never leave my mind, even though i had killed a lot myself.

It felt like forever even though it was only a few seconds. I finally decided to give up for the moment, until the witch went to sleep. I crept out of the kitchen, and caught one last glipmse of my old friend.

His eyes were staring at me with doubt, hatefulness. I tore my look away, and ran out of the kitchen like a crazed maniac.

I grabbed both friends, and made them make an underground hut for the night. After making a torch and placing down our beds, right before we went to sleep, Deadlox asked me a question.

"Sky, why do you want to save your old buddy, and what would happen when you do? Would you forget about them killing your pet sparky?" said Deadlox, as he propped himself up on one elbow to see me.

"I thought it was Loxy," said Truemu, who was staring at the dirt ceiling.

Deadlox's attention turned to Truemu. "Where in the world would you get the name Loxy?"

Truemu shrugged, and turned to face the wall.

I turned my head to face the ceiling, and closed my eyes, those few questions not leaving my mind.

*****

I was running frantically, tears streaming down my face. How could Mustache Tacos do this to me! I tripped on a rock that had been randomley placed, and flew onto the ground, loosing me half a heart.

I soon saw a shadow that engulfed me.

"Say goodbye to your little friend, Skydoesminecraft," he said as he smirked.

I wanted to punch him, and take over the squid world. I wanted him to pay for doing such a terrible thing. He dropped the pet silverfish into his mouth, the sound escaping my lips.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, MUSTACHE TACOS! " I said in my little kid voice.

He lft, bringing his head far back like an evil villian. Well, he was an evil villian. From then on, I realzied that I hated all squids.

*****

I woke up, beads of sweat falling down on my forehead. I looked up and found a block of dirt removed. Truemu and Deadlox weren't in the underground house, so i decided to look for them. I soon found myself back at the witches hut, were a boiling steam and the smell of squid filled the air.
