"We have been here for over a year Sparklez. Shouldn't be try to escape again?" AntVenom asked me quietly. I looked at the ground, the sadness I was feeling reflecting within my eyes.
"How do you know it's been a year? Time is a strange thing here." I muttered, not really caring if Ant payed any attention to me. My good friend and I had been captured by squids about a year ago. None of our so-called 'friends' came to rescue us. Thanks to them, I'd basically given up on everyone. Well, everyone except for Ant. We sat in the prison cell in silence for what felt like hours. I started thinking about what life would be like back at home. Do they still think about us? Probably not, we've been gone for so long, nobody would even remember us. I felt two arms wrap around me from my right side and a head rest on my shoulder. I looked at Ant, my eyes still showing the grief I felt. I could tell that he was trying to make me feel better by being there. He muttered something that I just couldn't hear. "Pardon?" I heard him sigh from my comment, yet I could just see that he was smiling.
"It doesn't matter if time is strange. We still have each other. If we had been separated, well, that would be a different story."

The two of us sat there for a while, just enjoying the other's company. A loud bang broke the silence. Ant and I looked up at the door. It was what had made the noise. A servant stood there, holding a young woman in his arms. Before my cellmate or I could say something, the slave through the woman in our cell. The door slammed shut, and at the same time Ant jumped up to check the lady that had been thrown in. I followed him to her, my heart racing. She looked like she was dead, or at the least very close to being dead. Ant picked up her hand and tried to feel for her pulse, as it was obvious that her breathing was very shallow and rough. Her purple-blue hair was matted with blood, and looked like a dreadful mess. She wore a black suit and red tie, and steampunk-like goggles were on top of her head, cracked. Her skin was a middle tone of olive. "She's alive, but barely." I heard Ant say to himself.
"That's good though, isn't it?" He looked at me strangely. "I mean it's better that she's actually alive instead of dead." I explained. He nodded and turned back to her. The lady's pants were torn, showing a deep gouge in her right leg.
"Do we have any not needed cloth of any kind?" Ant asked me quietly. I shook my head; there was no extra cloth that I knew of. I saw that Ant was ripping off some of his bed sheet. "This will have to do."
About half an hour later, Ant had the gouged leg bandaged and had put the lady on his bed. "I hope she'll be fine…" I muttered to myself.
"She should. There weren't any signs of infection or anything. I bandaged it up pretty well too." Ant answered me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement come from Ant's bed. I flicked my head around quickly to observe. Our guest had woken up, and was sitting up, looking at her bandaged leg. I walked over to her and kneeled down.
"Hey." I spoke softly. She looked at me slightly worried.
"W-W-Where am I?" she whispered. A look of both worry and sadness caught in her eyes. They were the same colour of her hair, but were beautiful nonetheless.
"In a jail cell under the Squid Castle." Ant piped up. I noticed a silent tear fall down her cheek.
"Don't worry. We'll all escape soon enough." I said cheerfully, trying to cheer her up. She smiled and looked at both Ant and I.
"Who are you guys?" she said, breaking a short silence. Ant and I looked at each other before replying.
"Well, I'm CaptainSparklez, though most call me Sparklez." I told her. She slowly nodded as Ant introduced himself to her.
"I'm AntVenom, but I go by Ant."
"Oh, well I'm BlackMagicPotato. Yes, it is a bit random, but I usually go by Magic."
"What about Potato?" I asked.
"No. Just no."
