A/N: im really sorry it took so long for me to update this. My goal was to update it again once this reached 200 reads. It's at 200 reads now (thanks btw) and a promise is a promise. (It's not really a promise tho XD)

Kay's p.o.v
I woke up the next morning. I was the first one to out of the group. The others were asleep. I looked up at the sky for a while just laying there then got up.
"Let's see what should I do while I wait for the others to wake up-"
I was thinking to leave and grab something from the cafe but the others might not know where she is
So she decided to walk around, not far though.
The air was cool and surpringly fresh
I would've thought that the land where the octolings live would have less fresh air.
"Hmm..." I sigh under my breath and keep walking. I all of a sudden heard footsteps
I look in the direction of the footsteps
"Kay! Kay! Where ya running off to?" It was Dean. I waited to him to catch up to me
"Mornin" I say
"Morning" he says back Where ya running off to?" He repeated
"Just walking around. I have nothing to do and I can't do another mission without you guys"
"Oh.. can I walk with you?" He asks
"Sure"
We walk together
"So how's life been?" Dean asked
"Exciting" I reply
"Heh, that's pretty true"
I smile as my fangs show.
When I smiled Deans face lit up "I still gotta say, the way your fangs are the other way around is amazing!"
I blush covering my mouth "i-it's nothing"
"Its not nothing! It's awesome"
"Not to everyone it is-"
"Who cares what other people think, I and everyone else in this team think it's cool and that's what matters most!" He puffs his cheeks out
I blush more "I guess you're right"
He smiles
We continue to walk for a while
"I think the others should be awake by now" I say to Dean
"I don't think so... it's only 6 a.m.."
"Really??.. what time did I wake up then??"
"Like 4 maybe?"
"It felt later to me... maybe I'm just not used to sleeping on the floor... oh who am I kidding yes I am but still"
"Hehe" Dean laughed "you sleep on the floor alot?"
"Well kinda like that... I fall off my bed alot but don't wake up. I just sleep on the floor"
"That's cute"
"Cute?! It's not cute!" I blush
"Yeah it is!" He smiles "hey, how about we go get some breakfast back at the campsite"
I stop blushing and nod "yeah, yeah...."
We start walking back to the campsite, for some reason something felt strange.
We get something to eat out of the food we packed. I sat down and ate while Dean sat next to me
"Hey dean?" I look at him
"Yes?"
"Is it just me or does it feel like someone's watching us"
"Hmmmm.... yeah kinda.."
I stood up. Gulping down the last of my breakfast "I'm gonna look around"
"Be careful... I'm gonna try to wake these others up" Dean said walking into a tent
I nod and walk off looking around. There wasn't many places here for someone to hide in. Just some walls, some pillars and other stuff. It was the first land out of 5 so it's not as complex yet.
I kept looking around hoping I didn't run into anything.
"Hey, is anyone there?" I look up and around.
When I wasn't paying attention I bumped into something. I thought it was one of my team mates at first
"O-oh I'm sorry didn't see you the-" as my eyes adjusted I realized it wasn't one of my teammates
It wasn't even an inkling in general
It was an octarian
I scream not too loudly though
The young looking octoling girl screamed too pointing her gun at me.
I didn't have a weapon on me so I just put my arms up
"D-don't move or I'll splat you!" She shouts
"........i-" I didnt know what to say "..who are you?"
She doesn't say anything yet "..why should I say?"
"...maybe we can... settle this encounter without splatting each other"
She stayed silent for another few minutes then sighed "..i'm Ava.. who are you?"
"Kay" I reply
"T-That's a nice name" she kept pointing her gun at me
"..your not as violent as what people say octolings are" I say putting my hands down
"And your not as dangerous as what people say about inklings... also..im new at this.. i don't really know how to treat inklings yet..." she sighed
"How old are you?" I ask
"14.."
She was younger than I thought she would be.
Ava was a cute little octoling.
She had the normal octoling hairstyle.
She wasn't wearing her goggles on for some reason. While she was wearing her normal octoling outfit, except she wore a black skirt over her pants.
"You're pretty cute looking" I say nicely
"No I'm not!" She held the gun more firmly
"I-I'm sorry!" I say


Ava's p.o.v
I was really confused. When people talk about inklings they say I nklings would splat octoling in a second. But this girl wasn't.
Maybe it's because she didn't have a weapon but if she wanted me dead she would've ran to get her weapon instantly
"Hey, how about you come to meet my other teammates! I'll make sure they won't splat you and no funny business yourself"
I was shocked that now she was even inviting me to meet the others
this is a trap isn't it! She's luring me in to attack
That's what had to be happening. It had to be. At the same time though, maybe it's not.
I was about to say no but then I remember my sister saying "maybe you'll have to meet them"
I know if I wanted to succeed with this mission. I had to go along with it
"O-okay" I nod.
Kay tells me to follow her as we walk back to their campsite.
There was a boy inkling coming out of a tent with a more violent looking inkling girl.
The girl pointed her gun at me the second she saw me
"H-hold your fire, Dia!" Kay says "she's just a child and she won't hurt us, I'll make sure of it"
The girl inkling who I assume is Dia lowered her gun.
Just because I'm a 14 doesn't mean I'm I'm child I complain in my mind as a stay still
The boy inkling looks at Kay awkwardly "why do you trust an octoling?!"
"Because- just- look I can show you.." Kay looks at me "Ava please throw your weapon somewhere"
Now she's telling me orders?! I knew she was just showing the others I shouldn't be splat but I was still upset as I threw my gun pretty far away.
The boy inkling stayed silent but nodded
"Anyways, this is Ava"
I wave awkwardly
Another boy inkling and another girl inkling come out of other tents.
The girl sees me instantly and looks scared at first then curious
"Wooooaaaahhh! We got an octarian prisoner?!" She says excited
I flinch I am no one's prisoner!
Kay shakes her head no.
The strong but nerdy looking boy inkling walked up to me "hai there! I'm Matt!"
"Uh- hi.." I say awkwardly still
Kay points to the unintroduced boy inkling "by the way, that's Dean" she points to the happy go lucky girl inkling "and that's cloud!"
Cloud hugs me tightly "For an octoling you're really adorable"
"N-no I'm not!" I blush from embarrassment
Kay folded her arms "alright ava, ima tell you the real reason I brought you here to meet the others"
I gulp, this is where I'll be splat isn't it
"Beeeecaaauussee......" she paused "I want you to be a reformed octoling! Not like a traitor to your mind thing but like, you're nice to us and stuff!"
I blink a few times "what?"
"I don't wanna explain it again!" She whines
Dia walked up to me and held onto me tightly "until you say yes, you'll be our prisoner"
You've gotta be kidding me...
"You can't make me!!" I yell sounding scared
"Make you a prisoner? Yeah I can!" She puts something on my back. I couldn't take it off
"W-what is that?" I ask
"A new invention someone I know made, I'm you leave nor than 30 feet from this camp, you'll explode and be splat instantly"
I froze "o-oh... apparently you... can-"
"When we learn to trust you we can take this off you" Dia smirked
"I don't think you should scare her, Dia" Kay said
Dia shrugs. "It's not like we are gonna hurt the poor girl, just if we are gonna be to know her we need to trust her first.... I don't trust her yet though"
"How is this supposed to help us trust her?" Dean asked
"If she's planning something then she would run off alot. Or take stuff and bring it back to her base or something. She can't bring it back to her base if she can't leave"
I sigh. That was kind of true.
Kay shrugged too then looked at me.
"Well, looks like we might become good friends, huh?" She smiles at me
I notice something was off about her fangs but it was hard to tell really.
I sighed
This is gonna be something
