Chapter 40: Don't Forget Me

Ty's POV

"Sky, you said you'd be gone for a few seconds!" shouts an angry mudkip. "We need your help!"

"Crap," Sky mumbles, eyes going wide again. He smiles apologetically. "You up for some Squissue-killing?"

"It's not exactly the first date you'd expect after this kind of encounter, but I suppose it will have to do," I giggle, and Sky laughs, grabs my hand, and pulls me out of the room.

"I'll be back to help as soon as I get rid of this cake!" shouts Tyler, and I nod and draw my sword again.

"Oh, dear," I laugh, unusually giddy as I brutally chop off a Squissue's tentacle. "This is dangerous."

"Life is dangerous!" Sky shouts back, seeming equally happy. He slices the tentacle of a Squissue that was about to take out both Quentin and Jerome in one go, and the mutant hisses at him.

"What the Nether were you guys doing in there?" Ian asks, dodging a tentacle swipe.

I wiggle my eyebrows. "What do you think?"

Mitch gags as he finishes off one of the three Squissues. "Get a room, sure – but, please, after the battle!"

Sky blushes, and I laugh as I strike the last slice on the second Squissue. The third one cowers in the corner, thoroughly angry but also thoroughly afraid.

"GOGOGO!" Jerome shouts, and we all rush the remaining Squissue at the same time. Pixelating tentacles fly everywhere, and the Squissue itself disintegrates into a pile of pixels.

"Victory!" Sky screams, and everyone in the room cheers loudly.

"Aw, you guys finished without me!" Tyler shouts as he runs into the room, but he's smiling excitedly. "We won!"

"Victory hug?" Sky asks quietly, taking a step closer to me.

"It's been ages since I last got a victory kiss," I suggest innocently, grinning.

"I'm sorry, Ty. I... I never stopped loving you. And I was so, so stupid to break up with you just to avoid political crap with the city. I... I'm so sorry, Ty. Please, please, will you forgive me?" he whispers, leaning in closer.

I nod dumbly, paralyzed by his proximity. "I- I love you, Sky."

He smiles softly. "I love you, too, Ty."

We both lean in, my eyes flicker shut-

"hE iS ImPOrTanT tO YOu?" I breathe out harshly as my back slams against the wall of the room and my sword falls out of my hand. "JOhNnY WaS iMpORtAnT tO mE."

I suck in a breath as a tentacle pins me against the wall. "S-Sky-" I gasp out, struggling vainly against the female Squissue. Oh, why didn't we finish her off when we had the chance? Now she's angry.

"It sTiNgS," she growls as something scarily slimy drips off her tentacle. "dO YoU wAnT TO FeEL tHe StInG? It oNLy HuRTs a LiTtLe bIT. iT OnlY tINGleS A tAD." She inches closer to me, and I feel around on the ground for a weapon that isn't there anymore. My weapon isn't there anymore.

"D-Don't- Crap-"

I stare up in fear at the Squissue as she moves closer still.

Sky's POV

"No! Ty-"

It's too late. The monster girl shoots one of her tentacles forward and makes contact with Ty's chest. Ty cries out in pain, trembling in his place.

"dO yOU LiKE thE sTINg Of iT?" she asks. "I fInD I'm gROwINg qUitE fOnD oF tHe FeeLINg, aCtuALly."

"P-Please- Stop-" Ty pleads, letting out a single sob. I tear my eyes away and glance at his sword lying across the room.

Wait...

No.

That didn't work in the dream. I won the battle but I lost my Ty.

No.

"WhAT wAS tHaT? yOu'D LiKE mE To BuMP iT uP? SuRE ThINg-"

I sprint straight toward Ty and barrel into him, effectively knocking him out of the way and leaving myself in his place. "I won't let you hurt him," I growl, glaring right into the squid mutant's eyes.

"tHiS wILl hURt hIm MoRe tHaN I EvER cOUld," she says, grinning creepily. I don't even have time to register her words before she's wrapping her one remaining tentacle around me and shooting the eternal pain into me full blast. I scream in anguish and squeeze my eyes shut as my scream slowly dissolves into a pitiful, hopeless sob. My vision begins to fade to black...

For Ty.

Suddenly, the tentacle goes slack, and the monster girl shrieks and pixelates. I smile weakly as I collapse onto the floor in front of Ty, who is standing with his eyes wide and his sword held high and sprinkled with mutant pixels. "S-Sky," he sob-laughs, dropping to his knees in front of me. "Sky." He wraps his arms around me and holds me tightly. "Are- Are you okay?"

I accidentally mimic his sob-laugh when I try to answer. "I-" I swallow hard. "I-I'm sorry, Ty." I sink down, laying my head in Ty's lap as my breathing gets heavier, more labored.

"W-What? N-No, no, what? You can't die, we-" His breathing gets faster, and I squeeze his hand gently as my eyes flicker shut. "That girl is dead! S-She's gone! You have to be okay now, that's how it works, Sky, we won!" I smile apologetically, wishing I could kiss his pain away. "Don't say sorry! Don't look sorry! Don't even think sorry! Sky, you- you- you didn't do anything wrong, Sky. Remind m-me what you did wrong. Nothing! I- S-Sky, please-"

"I'm sorry I can't stay," I mumble sleepily, eyes completely closed. I'd open them, but it seems so tiring... "D-Don't... Don't forget me... okay?"

"Believe me, I-I won't," he sob-laughs. I sigh contentedly, and my breathing begins to slow. "Wait, S-Sky, I- I-" He lets out a single sob. "Sky?"

I can't find the energy to reply as the last of my life disappears.

"I'll miss you..."
