Chapter 3

Jason's PoV

I wake up to the sound of thumping and muffled grunting and voices upstairs.

I groan, and rub my eyes. I glance at the clock, which reads 11:34 am. I yawn, and throw a pillow at Ty, who shrugs it off and continues to drool on the velvet chair.

I then see Ty's dad walking down the stairs.

"The squids awake. So I uh...well... He's out for now. Breakfast?"

I nod enthusiastically.

Ty groans and sits up, rubbing his head.

"Ugh... What's for breakfast?" He says as he yawns.

"Bacon and eggs." I hear a reply from the kitchen.

Ty suddenly has a much more energetic mood, and we finish breakfast (well, lunch technically, but whatever) quickly. We then try to figure out on what to do with the squid upstairs.

"Maybe we could release him? Y'know, back to his people?" I suggested.

"Or, maybe we can sway his mind. He is half human. And Jason, if we let him go, he'll just continue killing." Countered Ty's dad.

"Alright, well why don't Jason and I go upstairs and talk to him?" Said Ty.

"... Fine. But bring your sword." Ty's dad replied.

Ty nodded, and walked to the living room. A second later, he returned with a practically pure black sword.

"Is-is that obsidian?" I asked. Obsidian could only be mined with a diamond pick, so it was one of the rarer swords in the world.

"Sure is. I got it for my birthday." Said Ty, smiling.

"Oh damn it! I left your present at my house!" I said as I mentally slapped myself.

Ty patted my shoulder.
"We'll get it later. Lets go upstairs."

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Ty carefully opened the door and poked his head inside.

"He's still out," he whispered.

I peeked out around the door, and sure enough, Mr. Squid was still passed out, leaned against the wall. Ty opened the door fully, and we both stepped inside. I shut the door for good measure, and finally got a good look at Mr.Squid. He had 4 blue tentacles protruding from his back, and half his face was a shining cobalt blue. He had a now wrecked gray t-shirt, along with black leather pants and red shoes. He had an empty sword and knife sheath on his waist. Ty laid him down on the ground, and examined his back.

Sure, there were his four tentacles, but there were some ugly-looking slash wounds as well.

"Well? You're more of a healer than I am." Said Ty.

"Well..." I replied. "Those are pretty ugly. We're gonna need stitches if we want those to heal. We will also have to clean it, we can't risk infection."

"Get teh duck aweh from meh. "Said a slightly muffled voice.

Ty grabbed Mr.Squid, and hauled him back up against the wall, (none too gently either, might I add.). The squids face features scrunched up in pain.

His brown curly hair was just short enough so we could see his eyes, which were completely blue. No pupil, iris, and no whites.

"Now, why don't you release me so this situation doesn't get uglier than your faces." He spat.

Ty and I looked at each other.

"We saved you." Said Ty.

"Pfft, kidnapping me and throwing me in a bag isn't saving." He countered.

"We saved you from the guys who had you in the first place." I said. "They would have dissected you."

"Listen buddy, I don't know who the nether you guys are, but why don't you free me? Then, maybe I won't strangle you."he said, obviously not pleased.

"Listen. We are gonna free you." Said Ty, crossing his arms.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. But, if you were to leave, you would surely die in a matter of hours due to blood loss from that wound of yours. And, this place is heavily guarded. It would take geniuses like us to know the way out." Said Ty.

The creature rolled his eyes.

"I don't need your help. I despise your kind, and I've killed countless of you. Why would you help me?" He asked.

"Because I believe in second chances." Responded Ty.

"Then you're a fool."

"And you're blind."

An awkward silence continued for a minute, as the squid and Ty seemed to have a staring contest. I then decided to break the silence.

"Uh, so, since you're um, gonna be here awhile, what should we call you?" I asked Mr.Squid.

"Screw you."

"Fine. I'll make a name for you... How about Adam?"

He grunted and re-positioned himself to be more comfortable. I'm guessing he's alright with it.

"C'mon Jason. Lets go back downstairs." Said Ty.

I do a little finger wave, and exit.

"I think that went well."
