I got to the train station. Everything was as it usually is. There was graffiti on the walls, octolings performing music for money, and octos just minding their business. I decide to give some money to the performer and then go find where I'm supposed to go. I go to the map to see what train I need to take.
'Hmmmm it's not on here. I'll just ask someone' I think to myself.
I saw a guy wearing an Octarian army uniform. He had light blue eyes and he had his hair/tentacles swept back. He had this Stern and serious facial expression. I wonder if he knows where I am supposed to go.
"Um excuse me." I ask him.
"What is it little girl"
"I am here to take the train to the Octarian base."
"You're the new recruit I'm looking for."
"Umm I think so."
"I need your ID to make sure."
"Um yes sir."
I got my ID out of my backpack and hand it to him. He look at it still having a poker face.
"Hello Mereana Grimpoteu I am your new commander. we will discuss more details once we are in a private place."
"Y-yes sir"
"Follow me."
I follow him into a part of the train station I have never seen. It looked kind of sketchy. Then a thought popped into my head. How do I know this guy is actually taking me where I want to go. Oh no. I am an idiot. What do I do. Do I just keep following him. Would it be rude if I asked him. I don't want a bad first impression. Oh who am I squiding this is already a bad first impression. He probably thinks I am the worst new recruit ever. He might not even be my new Commander. This could be just some random octo that tricked me into going to this private place just to kill me. My hands were shaking and my legs felt weak. I felt like I could break down at any moment. Damit me why. I can't start crying in front of my new Commander and if he is just someocto that wants to kill me I don't want to give him that satisfaction of seeing me panic. My thoughts are racing. I don't know what to do but I have to do something. I finally stopped walking.
"Why did you stop." he said seeming frustrated.
"Umm s-sir how do I-I know you are what you say you are." I finally say.
He stared down at me with a glare of frustration in his eyes.
"I-I am not going anywhere until you prove to me you are what you say." I say with panic in my voice.
"Well I guess I will have to bring you by Force." he said grinning slightly.
I tried to run but he grabbed me.
"You can run from me" he said
"Let go of me." I yelled while crying.
"This is all for a good cause. I can help you get to the promised land."
Suddenly the whites of his eyes turned black and his hair/tentacles turned blue with green tips. I was scared for my life. I don't care what this promise land is. I don't what a part of it. I keep trying to pull away from his grip. I might be short and very panicky but my grandpa taught me that Octarians don't just sit around. I am an Octarian now and I can't quit. I quickly turned into my octo form and Slipped out of his hand. I turned right back into an octoling and kick him right in the jaw.
"Ahh how dare you"
"I-I'm not going down without a fight" I said stuttering because I'm still very scared. I know I can't take down this bigger and taller octoling so I decide to run. Unfortunately he was blocking the way back. so I had no other choice but to run the direction he was trying to take me. I really hope there isn't more of them.
