Ch. 14 The Escape
I've been nicer to her lately; I finally got the tentacles to let her keep the bedroom door unlocked. I never knew that this one small thing would end up saving my life.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
This world, this world is so cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
Your mothers gone and your father hits
You this pain you can not bare
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
It was still dark out when someone shook my shoulders.
My eyes open slowly in the dark. I see a shadow above me and realize it's Mary Jane.
"What is it Mary Jane?" my voice hoarse from sleep.
"I hear sirens, they're coming closer, and I've never heard those around here before," neither have I.
I get up and my tentacles look at me.
"Sirens," I simply answer to their stares.
They quickly start to move, getting out day clothes for me and trying to shove Mary Jane out the door.
"Hey!" she yells.
"Cool it Liz," I scold her and she stops shoving.
Mary Jane leaves and I quickly get dressed.
I look out the window and see cop cars down the street.
"We'll take care of them."
"They won't get you Otto."
"No one can hurt you."
"Not while we're here."
"No," I answer, "First we see what they want, at least."
The four nod and close the shades as I hurry to the door.
I run down the stairs, taking two at a time, as Mary Jane just sits and stares at me, as if I were some foreign object in her house.
I get to the door and turn around to see her behind me.
"I'm coming to," she demands.
"I don't want them to hurt you," I answer.
"They won't hurt me, they know I'm your hostage, in a way, and they don't hurt the hostage. On second though, I might wanna go first as a guard to you almost," she laughs, the only person who could at a time like this.
"Fine, but if they hurt you..." my tentacles wave threateningly.
"They won't," and with that she pushes past me and opens the door.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go through
Hold on... if you feel like letting go
Hold on... it gets better than you know
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Otto? Hands up!" one cop yells over a mega phone.
They notice it's Mary Jane and approach, guns raised.
I step out and grab her, protecting her, and I hear the guns cocked, loaded, ready to fire.
They have surrounded me. I hold her close to me. Marry Jane, the only one who knows how I live, how I feel.
I see a flash out of the corner of my eye. It blinds us, leaving me blinking for many seconds.
I look back to my tentacles, which can't be blinded, but I can't see them. They feel heavy, like they're dragging.
"Give it up Octavius!" one cop yells, "They're short circuited!"
I don't want to give up, I can't. It can't be. Mary Jane is out of my grasp, my arms fall limply to my side. She doesn't move away from me though, she just stands there. She's been with me for a week now, and she knows what it's like for me now, she doesn't move from my side.
"Keep holding on, Otto," she whispers as the cops come over, "You need to hold on."
I'm taken into custody... but when I turn to see her, Mary Jane Watson, I see a single tear running down her face, a tear being shed for me.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Your days you say they're way too long
And your nights you can't sleep at all
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
They've stripped me now. I posses nothing, they want me weak, defenseless. They have taken my warmth, my clothes, my life. I'm naked and can't stop it, can't defend myself, or hide.
I curl up against the walls of this little room, trying to keep them away. They're trying to get to me, and it's easy, there aren't any pieces of furniture, just them and me. They want to experiment and do other horrible things, they like me the way I am now, defenseless and naked.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go through
Hold on... if you feel like letting go
Hold on... it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking your one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over... Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead... what are waiting for?
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Otto," someone calls... but it's in my head!
"Yes, Otto," they're awake.
"We're back!" with this they wrap around me, giving me clothing, warmth, protection.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Hold on... if you feeling letting go
Hold on... it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over...
Hold on... if you feel like letting go
Hold on... it gets better than you know
Hold on...

They twirl around me as the other people there watch in amazement as my creations come to life, to protect me. They are back and they do care.
They lash out, ripping the weapons that these people have straight out of their hands.
My vision starts to swim. I just now come back to reality. I'm tired. They drugged me before doing these tests, allowing me into a peaceful state of mind almost. They tried, but they didn't succeed.
My tentacles, my beautiful inventions see an opportunity. They race through a small crowd of people that have gathered and then push them all aside. Sarah grabs a lab coat and gives it to me. I quickly and gladly put it on.
Liz and Bethany keep the guards busy, zooming this way and that, confusing the guards with their length. Kris is busy breaking down the door.
As quickly as the chaos started, it ends, peacefully, no one hurt, no one but me.
"We'll be home soon, Otto."
"We'll never leave you again."
"These people will never touch you again."
"We promise..."
They lift me and walk me out.
The building is well guarded, but we get out without much trouble, just a guard here or there, which are quickly knocked out by Kris.
When outside I see that we are on the edge of the city, close to where I live.
The tentacles swiftly exit into the shadows and from there we take the alley ways all the way back.
The whole time there was only one thing on my mind, where is Mary Jane and is she okay?
a/n: I thought the song was a bit much, but I had to put it in here, I love it! The song is Hold On by Good Charlotte.
