Life of a Castaway (Book 2)

CHAPTER TWO!

Sky: Already?

Me: Yes!

Sky: Awesome. What was with the mossy cobble stone?

Me: You'll have to read.

Sky: I don't read! It's 2013!

Me: I love reading!

Sky: Well good for you!

Me: Enjoy!

Squid base

Ethan's Pov

"Are you ready?" I wrote down, and Sky, and Deadlox nodded. "Good." and we stepped into the squid base from a window on the second floor. "So do you have the map?" Deadlox asked, and I pulled it out, and started to navigate through the hallways. Everything was fine. Until we heard the most horrifying sound you could ever hear when you're sneaking around a place where you're not supposed to be. A piston click.

"Adam!" Deadlox screamed, as Sky fell down. "I'll be fine!" He said, and we got one last look at him before the piston closed. I was so stupid! "It's not your fault." Deadlox said, and I wondered how possible it could be he has the ability to read the thoughts of individuals. "Let's go find him." he said, and the two of us took off, actually looking for pressure plates this time.

Sky's Pov

I fell down with a thump. I looked up, and watched the pistons close, and I was alone. I checked myself for broken bones. I felt my ankle, and a sharp pain shot up my leg. "Okay. Can't put pressure on that." I said, and looked around. They hired a new designer. "Or they got smarter." I said.

"They got smarter." Someone said, and I jumped. I looked for the source of the voice, and saw a girl with jeans, a T-shirt, and vines going up her arms. She had reddish-brown hair, and tree green eyes. "Who are you?" I asked, nervously. "Vineyard." "Really?" "No. I just don't tell people my name." she said. Like me. I looked down at the ground of her cell, and saw mossy cobblestone.

Wait mossy cobblestone? Just to be sure... "You were the girl I saw when I was running down the hall a few hours ago." I said. "Impressive. No one really remembers me. They just get really agitated when I leave mossy cobblestone." She said, and a new voice entered the conversation. "I didn't get agitated." The voice sounded feminine. "Well, we were three at the time." Vineyard reasoned.

"Who's there?" I asked. "Look to your left." I complied, and saw a girl with bluish skin. "What's your name?" I asked. "Erin." "What happened to you?" I asked, regretting it immediately because I sounded rude. "Sorry." I said, and she shrugged. "No problem. To answer your question, I was turned into a squid hybrid without my consent." "Like Seline." I said, and she nodded.

"She was always saying how she was going to escape, and take Vineyard and I with her." "What about Alex?" I asked. "What do you mean?" "What were you doing while Alex was ruler?" "I aided her." "Alongside?" "Yes." "So that would mean." "I'm her sister."

My head started spinning. "If you were turned into a hybrid against your will, then what about Alex?" "She was testing a machine she built, and fired on me." Erin said, and I sat down, trying to stop the spinning. "Why?" "She wasn't very considerate to what I wanted to do, and was always making the decisions for me."

"So she was a brat even before all this mess." I reasoned. "Pretty much." She said. Suddenly something hit me. "If your Alex's sister, then why are you here?" I asked, and she avoided eye contact. "They found someone who looked similar to me, and used some makeup, and other means of masking their true identity, and threw me in here. To everyone else, I'm just another prisoner."

I automatically knew she wasn't lying. Her eyes told me everything. They were sad, and lonely. Not a bit of deceptiveness in them. "How did you meet Vineyard?" I asked. "We were three, and this was before all this happened. We lived next to each other." She said. "One last question, did I really kill your parents?"

She never got to answer, because the door swung open. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Sky. You know after you killed my sister-" I cut her off. "You're not the real Erin." I said. "What are you talking about?" She asked, and I stood up, conscious of my ankle. "I can see through your little hoax! The real Erin is right over here!" I said, and her sly smile faded.

"Listen, I don't know how you can see through it, but I'm going to make sure you don't tell anybody." She said, and withdrew her sword. She raised it, but then lowered it when she heard an explosion sound. " #!*% ." She said, and ran out the door.

"We have a little time." I said, when she slammed the door. I dug around in my pockets, and found a few pieces of butter. I dug a stick out, and put them together. "What are you doing?" Vineyard asked, and I hit the door with my makeshift pickaxe. "Good job." Erin said, and I opened their doors, and replaced my door.

"C'mon." I said. "We need to get out."

Chapter two done!

Sky: It's about time!

Me: And you could do better?

Sky: Yes:

Sky glanced lovingly at his friend-

Deadlox *Tackles Sky*

Me: Sky. I think you need to stop looking at Deviantart.

Sky: I DON'T CARE! I LOVE IT!

Deadlox *Blushing from embarrassment*: Shut up!

Me: Before Deadlox ends up killing Sky, I must try to make an outro. So, Later Legends! I like that. I like it a lot. So I'm using it!
