The Fight for Freedom

Ch. 13: Jerome~ Monster or Hero?

Adam's POV (Short) (While the team was being captured)

Squids.

Squids were everywhere in the doorway, the only thing keeping them back was Seto.

"Seto, teleport us out of here." I command, grabbing a couple of potions by the bed.

Seto nods, sending one last attack out the door.

He turns to me, eyes glowing a bright purple, and grabs my wrist.

In a flash of purple we are out of the base.

"Where are we?" I ask sitting up off of the ground.

"S-Safe h-house." Seto stutters, before collapsing onto the ground.

"Seto!" I say as loud as I can.

I crawl over to him.

He is still breathing, thank Notch, but he's too weak to move.

'Great.'

I look around and find a hidden door on the side of a cliff.

I open it and realize that this is the safe house we built a long time ago when the wither had somehow gotten into our world.

I smile and drag Seto inside, using the last bit of strength I have.

I manage to lock the door before everything goes black.

Jerome's POV

I'm awoken by a splitting pain in my head.

"Rise and shine bacca. You have a big day ahead of you." Nega Squid says with an evil chuckle.

I groan, earning an unbearable pain in my back.

I yelp and fall off the side of the bed.

"Get up you lousy piece of s***." it kicks me in the side, knocking the air out of my lungs.

I gasp and stand up half way.

"Good boy." It smirks.

I growl and another wave of pain shoots through my spine.

"No growling or your friend gets put in the squidinator again."

I glare at it and stand up straight.

"Good, now lets get you some food." it turns to leave, beckoning my to follow.

I grumble to myself and follow reluctantly.

He brings me into a kitchen and throws a fish at me.

I hold back a growl and dig in.

"Thanks for leaving it raw." I grumble in between bites.

It smiles evilly and nods.

I finish the fish and Nega Squid leads me out to the cell room.

I look at my friends sad faces, wishing I could show them how I felt.

Nega Squid will hurt me if I show them any kind of emotion, I don't know why but it will.

I look at Mitch, who is isolated in a corner and being glared at by Jason and Quentin.

'Too late to convince them he's good.'

"Morning prisoners." Nega Squid says, pulling me from my thoughts.

Mitch looks at me with a sad expression.

"Jerome." he whispers, barely audible from where I'm standing.
