Chapter Seven: Past, Present, Future

Time: (in relation to the last chapter) three hours later

Place: Sky's bedroom

Sky's POV

I stand up slowly and groan. “What happ-” I cut myself off when I see the sky. It's red. Blood red.

Suddenly, I hear a growl and spin around to see a spider about to pounce on me. I look up, and two cocoa beans hang over my head like mistletoe. My eyes widen in fear and I shriek. Just my luck, attacked by a spider in a jungle under two cocoa beans. I squeeze my eyes shut, crouch down, cover my head with my arms, and wait for the pain.

But the spider never makes contact. I hesitantly open my eyes. Instead of the spider, I find eight skeletons in its place. Screeching, I jump out of my curled up position and sprint away. But the world doesn't seem to like my idea, because it's spinning so quickly that even though I'm running, I'm not getting anywhere, I'm still in the same place. I spin back around to face the skeletons, to try to punch them all to death, but I find exactly 29 squids in their place.

I wake up punching and kicking.

Ty's POV

“Ack! Sky!” I shout as Sky flies out of bed and punches my haw.

He stares at me for a second, uncomprehending, but then his eyes widen. “Oh, Ty, I'm so sorry!”

“'Sokay,” I mumble, gently rubbing the injured area. “How are you feeling?”

“Me? I'm fine. Why?”

“You sort of collapsed from blood loss,” I say slowly.

“Oops?”

“...”

“... My head hurts.”

“I'll get Seto.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“No problem.” I step out of the room, escaping the awkward tension in the air, and enter the hallway, where I pull out my phone. Seto answers after the first ring.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Seto!” I greet him. “Sky woke up, and he says he has a headache. Do you want us to come over there, or can you come here?”

“Just a headache? Wow. I'd have thought he'd hurt a little more than that...”
