Captured By Squids *remake*

Chapter 38

(Sky's POV)

It has been 2 days since our last encounter with Squidlox, and it has been anything but pleasant. We have been given little food and water, and now Mitch hasn't been acting normal. He barely eats the meager portions given to us, isn't talking, and just lays on his side, secluded in one of the back corners. Ian has tried coxing him out, but he acts as if he didn't hear.

Wow, what happened to Jerome must have really hurt him.

I had been pacing in my cell for a while now. Though I hate to admit it, I'm a little scared to see Squidlox again. Beside the fact that he's my best friend with limbs of the most foul creatures in Minecraft, his ominous warning had set a stressful environment for us to live in.

"So guys, I guess we need a plan to bust ourself's and Ty outta this situation, huh?" I said. Jason sighed, and nodded.

"I don't know how we are getting out of this one Sky."

At that moment, I heard the familiar sound of the wooden door open, and saw Seto walk in. I stood up, and walked up to my cell bars, the only things preventing me from attacking him right now. He looked over at me, and I tried to quickly hide my sudden urge to attack.

"Don't try to hide your emotions Sky. You've seen what destruction they can do." He said, looking away. I stared at him curiously. What did he mean?

"What do you mean by that Seto." I said dully, trying to hide my curiosity.

"Sometimes I don't even know the origin of my wisdom. It just comes." He said calmly as he raised a hand to the cell door that Ian and Mitch were in. The door swung open, and Seto pointed to Mitch.

"Squidlox wants him first."

That's when I realized that Squidlox's warning was about to become real. I watched as Ian slowly stood up, and whispered something to Mitch. Mitch stirred. He stood up, shakily at first, but he managed to stumble over to where Seto was waiting. I watched Seto carefully. Through his dark, cold stare, he watched Mitch stumble with malnutrition from not eating, and I could see a flame of compassion and an urge to help his former comrade in his eyes.

"Come on." He said gruffly, grabbing him by the arm. Mitch stumbled again, but managed to stay balanced with Seto's help. Mitch was led out of the cell hall, and to where I'm guessing is an interrogation room.

(Mitch's POV)

Seto led me down the damp halls of the dungeon, to a small room with a small table and 3 chairs. He sat me down in the first on, and used a binding spell to keep me in place. I didn't bother to fight. Right now, they could kill me for all I cared. I just wanted to see Jerome again.

I watched Seto sit down in the second chair, and then watch the door patiently as he waited for the third member.

We waited silently in the room for about 10 minutes, before we finally heard the turn of the door handle, and saw the two figures of Squillium and Squidlox. Squillium crawled over to the chair, and settled himself into it.

"So Mitch, how you are you." Squillium asked. I had nothing to say to him. He killed my bestfriend. That's unforgivable.

"So Mitch, we have a small question for you." Squidlox said, leaning up against one of the room's walls. I snorted.

"And why do you think that I would answer? You killed Jerome. My lips are sealed because of that." I said, a mischievous glint in my eye.

Squillium didn't seem to react. "What exactly were you and your friends trying to do?" He said, leaning closer to me until I could smell his breath. It stank of rotten fish, but I somehow managed to not gag at the reeking smell.

I chuckled. "You really think I would betray my friends? Your an even bigger idiot than I thought!"

Squillium smirked. "What if I proposed a deal with you?  Would that change your mind?"

My heart skipped a beat.

"What sort of deal, Squillium?" I asked wearily. Squillium and smirked, and laid his tentacled on the table, as if he were trying to clasp them together.

"It's a simple deal, honestly." He paused for a second. I leaned in a little, fully intrigued. Smirking, Squillium continued.

"In exchange for critical info about your mission and Sky, I'll have Seto Resurrect your friend Jerome."
