Ch 20: Ding, Ding, Ding, We Have a Winner!

Ty's POV

"Ty, hey, Ty. We'll give you the cure. But you have to capture Sky for us."

"That seems just a tad counterproductive," I reply, rolling my eyes.

"No. Not really. Capture Sky, and the entire rest of the city gets cured."

"I don't think it's worth it."

"Well. If you don't agree, Sky dies anyway."

"Point, but if you have Sky, Sky's not safe at all."

"Does it matter? Ty. Think. You've tried so hard to protect that boy. But what has it gotten you? You've been betrayed, Ty. By your best friends. They trust a near-stranger more than they trust you. And they've known you for years!"

"Well..." I swallow. "Yeah, but..."

"Your word means nothing to them."

"Maybe so, but..."

"Remember how they kicked you out of the lab?"

"How do you even..."

"They'd kick you of the city if they could."

"W-Why can't they?"

"Sky. Sky likes playing with your emotions. Is it as fun for you as it is for him?"

"N-No. I- No, he... Please stop..."

"He hates you, you know."

"No, he doesn't."

"He loves Tyler."

"N-No, he- Well..."

"Tyler is better than you."

"He wants to kill Sky!"

"And that's something you have already accomplished. Maybe you are better, in some ways."

"I didn't want to kill Sky!" I choke out. "Please, won't someone believe me?"

"We will believe you."

"I-"

"We will trust you."

"It doesn't-"

"All you have to do is help us capture Sky."

"But-"

"Ty. You've protected him long enough." The squid looks me up and down. "Don't you think it's high time you start protecting yourself?"

I swallow hard. I blink fast. I tell myself Sky is worth it. Sky cares about me.

Right?

A series of coughs wracks my body.
