Sky's POV

"It stings," says the monster girl while something slimy drips from the end of her tentacle. If she were any scarier, I'd have passed out upon meeting her.
"Do you want to feel the sting?" she asks, faking innocence as she moves toward Ty. "It only hurts a little bit. It only tingles a tad."
"D-Don't," Ty begs, scrambling backwards, reaching around on the ground for a weapon that is no longer there. I glance at his sword, thrown all the way across the room, and bite my lip. Can I get there first, before the monster girl either goes after it as well or decides to murder Ty?
"Crap-"
My gaze snaps back to Ty as he stares in fear up at the monster girl. "No!" I shout, but it's too late, the monster girl shoots one of her tentacles forward and makes contact with Ty's chest. He cries out in pain, trembling in his place. "Ty-"
"Do you like the sting of it?" the monster girl asks. "I find I'm growing quite fond of the feeling, actually."
"P-Please- S-Stop-" Ty pleads, letting out a single sob. I tear my eyes away and start inching towards Ty's sword.
"What was that? You'd like me to bump it up? Sure thing, Ty!"
"N-No-!" he gasps out, hands clenching into fists.
I grasp the sword and spin around, bringing the sword down right into the monster girl's back. With a pained cry that isn't nearly as pained as Ty's from earlier, she falls, slowly, to the ground. Her tentacle retracts, and she fades into dust with a dull poof.
"Are you okay?" I ask quietly, crouching in front of Ty.
My breath hitches in the worst kind of way when I see the subtle shake of his head. "I-I'm sorry, Sky," he breathes, swallowing hard afterward. He lays his head in my lap, and my breathing gets heavier.
"What? No, no, what? You can't die, we- that girl is dead! She's gone! You have to be okay now, that's how it works, we won!" I insist. He smiles apologetically. "Don't say sorry! Don't look sorry! Don't think sorry! You didn't do anything wrong, Ty."
"I'm sorry I can't stay," he explains.
"But, T-Ty, I- I-" He doesn't respond – not at all. Doesn't move. Doesn't shift. Doesn't speak. "...Ty?
"I'll miss you..."
