(This is now back in Ty's POV :3)

--------------
I have a huge sigh of relief as I saw Sky and Jason look down at me in the bottom of this hole. They mouthed something to me, something I couldn't make out, and walked away. My heart rate suddenly started racing again.

Did they not come to save me? Did they just come to watch me die?

I pushed those preposterous thoughts to the back of my head. Sky and Jason would never abandon me, especially in times like this. I glanced back up at the top of the hole, and I could've sworn I saw something move around up there. I turned my attention back to the looming skeletons. They were all grinning at me in some weird, not normal way. As I looked closer at them, their soulless eyes didn't seem so....soulless.

Suddenly, my head became cloudy, and I suddenly felt weak, as if I were about to faint. The skeletons advanced even closer to me.

"Why...hello Ty....." The largest one whispered to me. I gasped and my eyes grew wide.

"H-how......" I sputtered. The fact that the skeleton knew my name didn't scare me. A skeleton that talked, however, wasn't normal. In fact, I don't think I had ever heard of a talking skeleton before.

"Your coming with us." The skeleton said, grabbing my wrist. I fought back, kicking at the skeleton's ribs. My foot made contact, and the skeleton gasped as one of the ribs shattered. He growled.

"Why you-"

A loud cry erupted over head, and I looked up to see Sky and Jason jumping into the hole, iron swords in both of their hands. 

"Looks like we made it just in time."

Sky said, landing skillfully on his feet. Jason lander next to him, both of his swords drawn in both of his hands. I flashed a grateful look to them, but as I did, the skeleton picked me up by the collar of my shirt, and held an arrow to my chest. I looked nervously over to Sky, who was peering at the skeletons, angrily.

"Now Sky, let's not be hasty. One wrong move and your friend here may not live to see daylight." The skeleton said, calmly. I fidgeted in his grasp, but I couldn't get loose. The other skeletons eyes both me and Sky and Jason, to make sure we didn't make any....smart decisions.

"Put Ty down." Jason said sternly. The skeleton looked at him and rolled his eyes.

"No way. Only way he leaves-" the skeleton said, pointing to me, "-is if Sky comes with me instead." My eyes grew wide.

"Don't do it Sky!" I said quickly. The skeleton moved the arrow closer to my chest.

"Well Sky? What's your answer." The skeleton said, smiling. I looked pleadingly over at Sky. He didn't move.

"Drop Ty. I'll go." Sky said, and I gasped. The skeleton smiled, and dropped me. I landed with a thud, and Jason ran over to help me up. Sky walked over to the skeleton's, and the skeleton's laughed.

"Wow, don't look so tough now huh, do you Sky?" The skeleton said, sneering in Sky's face. Sky smirked.

"Whaddya mean by that?" Sky said, and before the skeleton knew what was happening, Sky pulled I out his sword from his sheath and thrusted it into the skeleton. The skeleton screamed, and collapsed into a pile of bones, dead. Jason pulled out his swords, and threw both at two other ones in the hole. Both hit the two skeletons in the head, and they both died. There was one left, but it was so scared of what had just happened that it tried to run up the stairs. Sky threw his sword at it, and it killed the last skeleton.

"Ty!" Sky said, breathing heavily next to me. I was grasping my leg tightly, my breaths shaky and inconsistent.

"Jason! Get over here!" Sky said, and Jason ran over.

"What are suppose to do Jason?" Sky said quickly. My leg was burning in pain. I groaned.

"Don't worry Sky, I know what to do. We need to get this arrow out." Jason said calmly. He walked over beside me and moved my hands from my leg.

"Ok Sky, can you hold Ty still?" Jason asked, and Sky nodded. He came around the other side and grabbed both my arms firmly. I was in so much pain I didn't even try to fight against his grasp.

"Ty, can you still hear me?" Jason asked, and I nodded slowly.

"Good. I need to keep yourself still. If you move, you could risk tearing something." He said, and I just nodded. I laid my head back against Sky's arm, and sighed heavily.

"Just.....take...it...out...." I muttered.

"Ok Ty, hold still." Jason said as he moved my leg so it was laying out flat, instead of next to my chest. I had to bite my lip to stop myself from crying out in pain. He grabbed the arrow, and I winced and he started to pull it out. He was holding down my leg firmly, but my other leg was pulled so tightly to my chest that I thought it might break. I started breathing heavily.

"Ty, calm down. It's almost out." Jason said, noticing my breathing. "You can't start hyperventilating. Just take calm, deep breaths." He said, and I started to slow my breathing.

"There! It's out." Jason said, holding a bloody arrow in his hand. I sighed in relief as much of the pain started to ease. Jason threw the arrow off to the side.

"Ok Sky, come on. We need to get him out of here." Jason said, grabbing me from under one of my arms. Sky imitated him, and grabbed me the same way as Jason. They then helped me limp out of the cave, and closer to the entrance of the cave. They then helped me back down onto the ground, where Jason pulled out a bottle of water.

"Ty, we gotta clean the arrow wound ok?" He said, and I nodded. He started pouring the cold water over the cut. I gave a small gasp, but allowed Jason to empty the bottle.

"Ok, we need to wrap this. Unfortunately, I forgot the first aid kit." Jason said, grumbling the last part. I quickly looked at my shirt, and my first instinct was to rip it. I grabbed from the bottom of my shirt, tore it off. I then handed it to Jason, who wrapped it tightly around my leg. Good thing he took a paramedic class.

"Ok, you should be good for the trip back to the kingdom. Come on Sky, let go back." Jason said, slinging my arm around his shoulder. Sky allowed me to do the same to him, and together, they hauled me back to the kingdom.

(Little anonymous person POV. Did expect that huh?)

I watched as the little trio headed back to their little kingdom. I growled at the thought of how close those idiot skeletons were to getting Sky, and his pesky friends. I walked back to the where the 4 skeleton's had died. Obviously, I would've just left them there. I mean, it's only four skeletons, right? No biggie. But of course, I had to be in debt of them. Sighing, I flicked my wrist, and a purple magic surrounded my fingertips. I pointed my fingers over at the piles of bones, and they instantly started building themselves back together.

"Hey, thanks." One of the skeleton's said, grabbing his bow.

"Well, just remember, I'm out of your debt now, so now I will be going." I said, brushing a little bit of brown hair out of my eyes.

"Ah, ah, ah....not so fast." The leader said, putting a bony hand on my shoulder.

"You sold yourself to our master. You aren't going anywhere."

I growled.

"Fine then, take me to him." I grumbled, and the skeleton smirked. He then lead me out of the hole and down a few tunnels.

"Come on Sorcerer..." The skeleton said after a few minutes. We had arrived at a dead end, but I could tell that the wall wasn't really a wall.

"Go on through." I looked at the skeleton, who nodded. I gulped, and walked on through the wall.
