The New Beginning ( Don't Hug Me I'm Scared)

The Resolution

Manny came to. His mind whirling and thoughts scattered across his mind. He was in a dark room and... tied up.

"Well, dearie, you're finally awake!" Shrignold chortled. Before Manny could expect it, Shrignold launched himself at Manny and placed his hands on the armrests. His faces was only inches away from Manny's, and in his eyes appeared with ravenous in them. " Are you ready?" Shrignold dangerously whispered.

"W-what do you mean, ready?" Manny quivered.

"Don't you get it, sweetheart, my friends and I are going to lead you to our master, Michael," Shrignold's eyes glittered with love. (Hey, kind of like Harry's glittered hearts.)

"What is he going to d-do with me?" Manny whimpered.

Shrignold moved his face impossible closer to Manny's and hissed into his ear, "He's going to enjoy a nice Manny sandwich."

Harry and Oc walked briskly through the desert lands before them and soon gazed upon a tavern before them. This must be where Shrignold is keeping Manny hostage, Harry thought. They made a plan. They would use sleeping gas on a few guards, set them up on sticks and knock on the door, use that as a distraction, crawl through the air vent, land inside the dungeon, rescue Manny, and escape through the vents.

Oc started off the plan by crawling onto a ridge over the guards, and right as they looked in Harry' s direction, she sneak attacked them, knocked them out and brought them to Harry, on a log, with little trouble. They were able to stick them on posts, knock on the door, and they then scurried as fast, and quietly, as they could to and through the air vents. Harry was a little too big for the vents, but let's just say he managed.

There it was. The dungeon. Right before them, a room cast in shadow glistened in the dark, and off they took. It must be where they are keeping Manny.

Using a safety pin, carefully unraveled by Harry, Oc unlocked the door and crept through it. Harry following suit.

There strapped to a chair was Manny, yet he did not look too healthy. Blood cascaded down his face, and parts of his flesh had been torn off.

Harry was not going to give up, though. He skidded across the room to Manny, and listened for a heart beat, and there was a faint heartbeat, but not much to last him much longer. Harry used the Heimlich maneuver, which he had learned whilst he had been away.

Manny's eyes then fluttered open, but his eyes were filled with terror and he opened his mouth to say something, but it was too late.

I felt someone's glare directed towards the back of my head.

"Well, well, well. My dear pal, Harry. Looks like you fell for my trap. Sweetie, you are a disappointment, and disappointments have to be punished," Shrignold scolded. He then pulled his hand out from behind his back, and there in his hand was a revolver locked and aimed at... Oc.

Everything happened in a blur, and before he knew it, the gun went off and Oc slumped to the floor.... silent.
