Quentin's POV
I wake up in Jerome's arms.
"I'm sorry about this guys." He whispers into my ear, then throws me onto the ground.
I act as though I'm still asleep until he's gone, then turn to Jason who is passed out next to me.
"Jason, wake up." I whisper, shaking him lightly.
He shoots up. "Where's Mitch?"
I sigh. "I don't know, the squids did something to Jerome though. He just threw us in here."
"He also chocked Mitch." Jason adds.
"Not purposely though, did you see his face as he did it?"
Jason looks out the bars in thought.
"Yeah, I do remember his face, I also remember that Ryan knocked us out."
"We need to get out of here before they turn us into squids or something."
"Yeah, but how? and what about Mitch? he could be in the squidinator again. He did know their plans after all."
"Yeah, when they bring Mitch back let's act like we don't trust him until the squids leave. Then we can test him and see if he really is himself." I suggest.
"That's not a bad idea." Jason says with a satisfied smile.
"Great, lets do it."
Mitch's POV
The pain is so horrible.
My voice has been gone for a while now and Squidlox is still beating me with his whip.
The whip cracks down on my back again.
The only sound I can manage to make is a slight whimper.
"Sir I think he's done." Squidlox says.
'funny how the thing I thought was dead came to whoop my @$$.'
I hear the crackle of a microphone and Squidlox unties my raw wrists, making me collapse onto the ground from being too weak to move.
"Get up." the squid growls, kicking me in the side.
I yelp in pain and try to stand, only to flop onto the floor again.
It scoffs and picks me up over it's shoulder, sending more pain up my spine.
Squidlox drags me out of the room and back into the cell.
"Keep that thing away from me." Quentin growls, his words dripping with venom.
I manage to look at him and realize that he's pointing to me.
I reach my hand out to him with the last little bit of strength I have, then I black out.
I wake up again with Jason's concerned face hovering over mine.
I gasp and back away from him, stopping and letting out a whimper as the pain from the whip erupts throughout my back and sides.
"Sorry you had to hear me talk like that Mitch. It's apart of our plan." Quentin apologizes.
I give him a thumbs up and force a smile.
"Can't talk again huh?" Jason asks.
I nod and look down at the ground.
"It's okay buddy." Quentin reassures, reaching out to pay my back.
I slap his hand away with a shake of my head.
He realizes what he was about to do and smiles sheepishly.
"Sorry."
I nod, wincing as another wave of pain erupts from my back.
"What is the squidinator like?" Jason asks.
I look at him with wide eyes, telling him 'you don't want to know'.
"Is it really that bad?" Quentin asks.
I nod and turn around, pulling up my shirt and hoodie to show them my back.
They look away in disgust and I pull my shirt and hoodie down again.
"Wow, I can see why you can't talk now."
I nod again.
"Do you know sign language Mitch?" Jason asks out of no where.
I nod and sign 'yes.'
"Where's Jerome?" Quentin asks.
I shake my head.
'They made him watch me get beaten by Ryan and Ian.'
Jason's eyes go wide.
"What? what did he do?"
'Nothing, if he tried to do something, it resulted in me getting beaten more and a lot of pain for him.' I sign.
"So the squids are getting meaner?" Quentin asks.
'I guess so.'
"When did squids become so smart?" Jason asks.
I shrug, but wince as another wave of pain hits me.
"We should see if the squids will allow you to get your back fixed up." Quentin suggests.
I nod and crawl over to the bars.
I bang on it until a squid comes into the room.
"Shut up!" it barks.
'I need medicine.' I sign.
"The squid is asking for medicine." Jason sneers, noticing the squids confused look.
"You will get medicine later, it's time for lights out." it grumbles.
It turns and leaves the room, the lights go off a moment later.
"Night guys." Jason says.
'Night.' I sign with a heavy sigh.
I lay down on my stomach since it doesn't hurt, and fall into a deep sleep.
