SkythesquidRS

Chapter 8

Alesa's PoV

I can't explain why I want to help those guys. Maybe it's because I feel that I shouldn't leave someone to die. Or maybe it's because I feel guilty.

Or maybe it's because I think it's him.

He was...a friend, and now no one remembers me or my connection to this dimension.

Or did I travel dimensions?

I don't know, if I could explain it, I would. All I remember is the squids, taking me in the night... The sounds, the pain... And then a portal, a sinking feeling in my stomach, and I was here, no portal behind me. I saw Ty, and I went to talk to him, but he just said he didn't know me. I saw various friends, but no one remembered me.

Except Dawn.

/////flashback/////

It was a clear night, and I was walking through a park. I had been asking around for hours, if anybody, anyone recognized me or knew who I was. No one did. It was like I had never existed before today. I sat on a passing bench, and put my face in my hands and started to cry. I suddenly heard footsteps, and I looked up.

A girl with half her hair pink and the other half purple was standing above me. One eye was green, and the other was blue... Wait a minute... This sounds like one of Sky's old girlfriends...

"Are you Alesa?" She asked.

I lifted my eyebrows and no doubt looked shocked.

"I was taken too. I'm from your dimension." She said.

"Wait, wait. So, you know me? Not from this dimension?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

I was relieved to know someone from here, even if it was my fiancé's ex.

"I've been here for a couple months. But, uh this is embarrassing... I- I still watch Adam's videos. And I saw you play 'love craft' with him, and I know he loves you. I know he's proposed."

I was speechless. How do you reply to something like that?

"Have-have you found the Adam of this dimension?" I asked.

"No. I haven't. But right now, I think we're all each others got." She stated.

/////end flashback/////

Now Dawn and I are roommates, and ever since we've been trying to find our way back.

When I saw Ty and the others, and their worried faces, they looked like when Adam was missing (long story, turns out Adam was just playing hide and seek with some village kids) and my mind immediately turned to him.

I looked up to see our house. Pretty simple, one floor, one bedroom, one kitchen and a bathroom. The outside was a pale yellow with Dawn's garden flourishing under the window sills. I shoved my key into the door, and ran inside.

I went to the cupboard, and grabbed all the healing supplies we had, and threw them into a bag.

"Alesa? What's going on?" I heard Dawn ask behind me.

"I can't explain right now. Short story: Ty and others, someone hurt, I'm helping." I said, looking for any more stray items.

"Do you...think it's him?"

"Maybe." I said as I found a stray brewing stand.

"Well, then I'm coming. I have some extra hidden supplies under a floorboard in the bedroom. I'll go get them."

We soon came to the address of Ty's house, and we knocked on the door.

The door swung open to reveal Jerome with a grim look on his face.

"I'm guessing you're Dawn and Alesa?" We nodded. "C'mon in."

We stepped inside. Rather small living room, with a fireplace, two chairs, stairs and a door to the kitchen probably, and a couch.

With Adam on it.

My heart sped up as i examined every feature on his face and body. It looked like Adam and it didn't. For one, he was part squid.

"Oh my notch." I said, covering my hand over my mouth. "What happened to him?"

"Well, he was born a squid hybrid as far as we can tell. He was captured during the attack, and Ty and I freed him. We found these nasty gashes in his back, which are filled with gold dust. He'll die if you don't help us." Said Jason.

"So... You've never seen this...squid hybrid before?" Questioned Dawn.

"Not before yesterday." Said Ty.

"Well, let me check his pulse first." Said Dawn.

She gently grabbed Adams hand and was about to put her fingers to the wrist, when Adam suddenly sat up faster than our eyes could register, and looked at Dawn.

He backed away as far as he could on the couch from Dawn, even if he was in extreme pain as we could tell from his facial features, as if she was a murderer coming to kill him. His face radiated pure horror.

I looked over to see Dawns eyes welling up with tears. She turned around and ran out the door and into the night, leaving all of us as confused as that one time you couldn't find your mom in the grocery store.

I'm iffy about this chapter. Oh, well, leave criteria down below. On my way to eat dinner, I was struck with an awesome ending to the story! I'm still not even close to the end of the story with all my ideas, but I'm getting there.

Oh and if you ever re-read my story (not sure why, I'm spitballing here) I've edited the entire story. Same occurrences, just more detail. So don't y'know, tell the wattpad police that my story's different.
