UnicornMann's POV

Why?  Why Goldy?  Why not me?  Why not somebody who was capable of escaping on their own?

To be fair, she did escape the first time she was kidnapped.

BUT STILL!

At this point, I was crying my eyes out.

"Unicorn, it's alright, we'll get her back!"  Tina rubbed my back in comfort.  Ryan was still resting on the floor, since Tina had immediately rushed to Unicorn's aid once his first tear came out.

"WHEN DID THAT GUY GET POWERS ANYWAY!"  I yelled at nobody in particular, only then realizing.  "How did he-"

"Guys?"  Ryan had woken up.

"Cutie!"  Tina tackled him, kissing him gently on the lips.  "I was so scared..."  I feel like a third wheel.

"He took Goldy..."  I spoke sadly.  Ryan's eyes widened, and he looked around nervously.

"I have a plan."

Goldy's POV

"You know, you're absolutely beautiful."  He stroked my face, I struggled to escape the chair.

"Come on, bud!  I thought we were friends."

"We were, but I want to be more."

"I've never been good at seeing past fwendz..."  Goldy pouted.  "When did you get powers?"

"That's a secret."  He leaned in closer, I had to do something.

"NO!"  I yelled, disgusted that he'd even try.

"What?  Why?"

"Uhh..."  I thought of the first excuse.  "Not like this.  Lovers don't tie each other up."

"Actually--"

"Shh."  I glared at him, demanding that he let me satisfy my ADHD.  "I really really really really really want to run circles around the room."  I begged him.

He sighed and cut the ropes, holding my wrists so that I wouldn't attack him.  Dangit.  He threw me on my side across the room, rushing out the door.

Immediately, I explored the room.  I had found a book, a wad of money, and a dead fish.

The money was bundled up next to the book, but each buck had been burnt through the middle.

"Book.  Book book book book book."  Book is a fun word.  I giggled to myself, repeating it to myself.

"Unicorn.  UnicornMann.  UnicornMannnnnnnnnn."  He's a fun person.  I miss him already.

It's still difficult for me to read, but I understand most of it.

Sacrifice childhood, riches, and lover; only then, is power truly power.

That sentence caught my attention.  Is that why he was able to teleport?  But what from here had he given up?

Wait... IS HE GOING TO SACRIFICE ME!?  THAT AIN'T COOL!  THAT'S NOT WHAT FRIENDS DO!

"It seems you're not as dense as before..."

So the title didn't save...
