D-tent stood breathless for a split second until they saw what was going on. There were 6 boys on ZigZag, who was on the ground, kicking him and hitting his back and legs repeatedly with a shovel. Squid instantly jumped on the boy with the shovel, grabbing the back of his neck until he heard a quiet pop, then dropping the now unconscious boy and heading for the next one. Zero jumped on the biggest guy's back, wrapping his tiny arms tightly around the boy's neck until he was turning purple and gasping for air. X-Ray and Armpit tackled one large, tattooed boy who was kicking ZigZag in the stomach. Magnet simply ran up to the 4th boy and kicked him hard where-the-sun-don't-shine. Now there were two boys left beating on ZigZag, one of them being Shrimp. Chanele screamed helplessly, and felt extremely stupid for just standing there and not helping. Until she saw ZigZag's long arm shoot out and grab the shovel on the ground.
Magnet's POV
Yea, so were totally caught up in this fight man, and all the sudden we hear this yelp. Like almost a puppy yelp. We all kinda turn around to see Zig hit Shrimp over the head with a shovel. Hard. Zig was swayin' a lil' bit, like he was gonna fall over right there. But he hit Shrimp again. And again. Another A-tent muchacho came and tried to kick Zigs in the back of the knees so he'd fall over, but Ziggy totally turned around and hit him on the head. Ok, this is gettin' way too crazy. Why won't ZigZag stop hitting the kid?
Normal POV
Squid hurried over to ZigZag and caught the shovel right before he hit Shrimp again. "Zigs, man, stop. He's out man. We won." But ZigZag just pushed his aside and got ready to bring the shovel down, right when Pendanski and Mr. Sir ran on to the scene. Mr. Sir fired his gun in the air, but ZigZag kicked Shrimp in the side. Chanele eyed ZigZag. His eyes were crazed, but worse then they usually were. They had an anger, a fire inside of them. He was screaming and yelling at Shrimp while he kicked him. Pendanski started yelling "RICKY! STOP IT NOW!" but ZigZag wasn't listening. Pendanski jumped over Shrimp and grabbed ZigZag's arms. Zig started to flail around wildly, screaming for Pendanski to let go of him. Mr. Sir tackled him fast, holding his arms to the ground. Pendanski grabbed a large needle filled with sedative and stuck it into ZigZag's forearm. He instantly stopped moving, his eyes glazed over with a film.
"Theodore, Alan, Chanele. Please take Ricky back to the tent. Rex, Jose, and Zero- help these boys over to the nurse station." Pendanski nodded, and Armpit carefully picked ZigZag up and hung him over his shoulder. Squid walked behind him, holding ZigZag's head up and looking distantly at the desert. But Chanele was frozen. She shuffled her feet robotically and never took her eyes off them. They made it back to D-tent, and Armpit laid ZigZag down on his bed. Chanele choked when she saw that ZigZag's eyes were still open, but he wasn't moving. But Squid started to pace angrily, cursing under his breath. "ZigZag is hurt too! And it was that damned A-tent's fault. No, yeah, it was their fault. Princess, how did they start to fight?" Chanele shook her head, and kept staring at ZigZag. She couldn't tell Squid that ZigZag had fought Shrimp because he was standing up for her. Everyone would hate her.
Squid shrugged this off, and walked over to ZigZag. He flipped ZigZag over roughly and pulled off ZigZag's soaking black t-shirt. It was soaked in blood. ZigZag's back had long, shallow gashes all down his back, surrounded by yellow and black bruises. There were shovel imprints all over his spine. When she saw what had been done to him, Chanele's eyes swelled up with tears and she turned away from him. Squid grimaced at the gashes, and grabbed ZigZag's bed sheet. He laid it under ZigZag, then flipped him over again. Chanele looked back to see 5 different sized shoe imprints on ZigZag's muscular stomach. She wiped the tears away from her face quickly and shifted on her bed so her body was completely turned away from him. Squid stared angrily at her, then wrapped the bed sheet tightly around ZigZag's barely-breathing body so his wounds would stop bleeding. He sat down on his cot and put his head in his hands.
Not one D-tenter went to dinner that night.
A/N-Next chapter…..plot revealed! Stay tuned loves :D By the way, do you think you could review and tell me if you want Chanele's and ZigZag's relationship to be more physical or emotional. Right now it is set to physical, but just let me know your opinion!
