Chapter 10: Advice from the Enemy

Gwen's P.O.V

My body continued to crawl through the dirt tunnel as Cody trailed behind me. It's been about 3 hours since we've been in here. As I turned back around to look at Cody, he was holding his hands over his face like he was in pain. What did the electrocution do to him? Did is mess with his head?

When I looked back in front of me, I saw a bright light coming through the hole. As I went and peeked out of it, I realized that we were coming out of a bush, but when my eyes looked onto the ocean, there were big waves crashing everywhere! Then a thought hit me as I gasped.

"Cody! We forgot to bring a gift for the Hippocampus!" I told him, but he only perked up a little bit.

He looked worn out. Suddenly, I yawned, which caused me to think,"When was the last time we've slept?"

"Yeah, maybe we should not go out there until we find something! Hey, I'm really not feeling well right now, I think I need some rest," he mumbled as put his hands down to his lap as his tail stopped moving.

Seriously, his he okay? Why would he hide something from me, he obviously likes me! I'm tired myself, so we should probably rest.

"Okay, but if something happens to you, like if you are sick, just wake me up!" I calmly told him as I started to curl up as I laid my head down on my arms as a pillow.

After a few minutes of closing my eyes, I peered out of them to make sure Cody was alright. I saw him lying down like me, but he was whispering to himself for some reason. I hope he isn't having any problems!

"Cody, you know if you have any problems, you can tell me!" I whispered as another yawn escaped my mouth.

"Of course, Gwen," he quietly replied after a hesitation.

Geez! I better get some rest now. My eyes slowly closed as the minutes passed by.

Cody's P.O.V

I decided to get some rest because that would've probably got rid of the voices and the pain in my head. As I drifted off, I awoke in the same black place from before. I heard voices from the distance, which was the blackness. Suddenly, I had claws again.

"Who's doing this to me!" I screamed in an insane voice as my hands waved around in the steady air.

Out of nowhere, I was suddenly being lifted by some wind (I have no idea where it came from) as it carried me into the pitch dark. Then, I was set down again, but it seemed that I was not alone.

"Nothing's wrong Cody, everything is perfect!" the same voice sounded from behind me as I swiftly turned around, to see nothing.

Am I losing my mind! How could someone talk to me if they are not physically there!?

"Wh-who are you!?" I frantically said as I went down to my knees, shouting in every direction.

"I'm a friend, not a foe, and I'm here to help you," it said in a friendly voice as I stared into its direction.

I don't trust a thing that it says. After all, it's caused me pain and makes me my cursed form, which I do not LIKE! Suddenly, my eyes were flashing red again, so I started to insanely scream.

"Stop IT STOP IT!" I screamed at the thing as my hands held my head as I lowered it to the ground.

"Cody, it's okay, this is supposed to be happening!" it replied as it became louder, trying to calm me down.

No, this is not okay. I can't tell or hurt Gwen anymore; I just want to be normal and unbothered. But OF COURSE I have this problem and it haunts me everywhere I go. Then, I heard something pop in my mouth as I felt around sharp teeth.

"I don't care who you are or what you are, but stop MESSING WITH ME!" my words screamed as I started to rock back in fourth, holding my legs together.

Panic went throughout my mind as the whole thing unraveled. I can't let it take control of me again; I must hold my sanity together!

"Just chill out Cody. You are a normal person! It seems that you have a problem of your own, and I'll help you with it!" it calmly said as I looked up from my hands.

"Wha-what do you mean!?" I mumbled as I tried to pull myself together from getting out of control, but it was really hard.

"It seems that you and your friend have seem to forget to bring the Hippocampus a gift to satisfy it, and I have a gift for you, but I need you to trust me," it said as I started to stand up from my sitting position.

I could feel myself slowly losing my mind, but I was still holding onto my sanity. Should I trust it. No, I should not. It is causing me to go through this torture!

"I don't trust you," I quickly mumbled as my body began to crouch like an animal (furry boi.)

"Fine, but I'll just wait a little longer. Anyways, I suggest that you give the Hippocampus something that you already own. I heard that it likes items that have emotional pasts to them, especially torturous pasts!" it said in a persuasive voice as I started to think.

What items do I have that have that!? Out of nowhere, needles suddenly popped into the air magically (So the thing can do magic!) So, it's suggesting the needles that were put into me from the mansion,, wait, why do I even still have them?

"I'm here to help you friend! What do I have against you?" it calmly said as I stopped thinking and looked into the distance.

"First off, I don't even know who you are! Second, you change me and cause pain!" I screamed unexpectedly as I was getting angry.

"You'll soon find out, but I need you to calm down. You will soon respect yourself!" it randomly said as I tried to keep myself together, but I couldn't.

Out of nowhere, I made fire erupt everywhere around me as I screamed bloody murder. I couldn't contain myself anymore, but at least Gwen wasn't here!

"GET OUT OF MY MIND!" my words shouted as I began to break down into crying all over myself.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake like an earthquake. I quickly stood up to gain balance, but my body fell back down.

"Well, take my advice and it'll help you! Soon enough, you'll trust me and you will be grateful for being cursed! I'll be watching you!" the thing quickly said as a bright light flashed everywhere.

I suddenly shot up, resulting it hitting my head into Gwen's, causing her to scream. I quickly looked around, but I soon realized that we were back in the tunnel. It took a second to process everything, but then I gasped as I realized what just happened.

"Are you okay!?" I frantically said as I felt something cold against my face.

When my hand went up to my face, I realized that I've been crying in reality!

"Yes, but more importantly, ARE YOU OKAY!?" she asked me in a panicked tone.

I quickly glanced down at my hands, just to be relieved that there were no claws. I then stared right back into her eyes; she truly looked worried.

"I'm fine, I don't know why you keep asking me that," I replied as I shook dirt off my shirt.

"It- it's just that you've seemed worried lately. I woke up to you screaming and crying everywhere, I honestly thought that you were having a heart attack! I then was shaking you to wake up for about 5 minutes, you wouldn't wake up which made me panicked! Then, when you woke up, you accidentally hit me in my head, but at least you are awake now!" she explained as I was rubbing my arm, trying not to give any hint of what was happening.

"I was just having a really bad dream, where you, uhh, died!" I quickly mumbled as I started to wipe any tears off my face, but she didn't look too convinced.

"You know you could tell me anything! I promise no matter what it is, I'll be by your side!" she sweetly said as she suddenly grabbed my hands and held them.

As I started to blush, I remembered that cursed image of me biting her, and her ending up having a 5 inch wound (I know that is way too big!) I can't tell her, not yet at least. Maybe I should when we are in a peaceful place, and not in a dirt tunnel. I cannot hurt her anymore!

"Gwen, I'm find, I would never hide anything from you…" I replied back, trying not to sound guilty, but she seemed convinced this time.

"Okay, but we need to still decide on what to give the Hippocampus, I have nothing to give!" she said as the thought of the needles popped into my head.

Should I really go off of the advice from the thing that has done so much to me? Maybe it's worth a shot.

"Maybe, we could give it th-the needles…" I mumbled as I dug around in my pockets, pulling the three out.

Her facial expression gave off that she was confused.

"Why the needles that were used by Katie?" she slowly asked as I quickly glanced at my hands which had claws again, which were still in her clasp.

AI started to panic. She would definitely know that something's up if I pull my hands away from her, what should I do?

"Uhh, hmm, I heard that Hippocampus's like things with emotional pasts to them, and after that experience, I would never go towards needles again," I quickly stated as my panicked thoughts washed over my mind.

As she nodded, she began to slowly look down at her hands, but I shouted, "Wait, Gwen, we should probably go now!"

Since I said that, I pulled my hands back to help me crawl again, which I thought was a nice save! She soon crawled after me as we came out of the bush. When I looked up, my eyes noticed that the sky had purple, swirling clouds right above us. As I stood up, my eyes scanned the area.

The grass was light green, and there were palm trees with pink leaves. Then, I realized that the waves were pitch black! I held the needles firmly in my hand as a strong breeze blew past us as she suddenly grabbed my hang AGAIN, pulling me along with her.

Is she starting to like me? She would've never done this before everything happened! I like her too, but we can't date until everything is fixed, especially my problems! We soon went to the edge of the island, and I stared into the black waters. I couldn't see anything in it; I wouldn't want to get lost in it though. But then I saw a glimpse of a bright yellow light coming from it, I stared at it for so long.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, unbearable pain suddenly hit my head as it caused me to collapse into the waters!

"CODY!" Gwen shouted as my body fully submerged into the blackness.

What was going on now? I couldn't breathe, and I was about to drown if I didn't pull my body to the surface soon. It felt as if I was having a heart attack! Could this be the Thing's doing? Why did I keep on having pain in my head? Maybe it was from all of that electrocution!

I couldn't swim up because I soon realized that my hands were shaking for some reason! I felt my whole body go deeper and deeper into the ocean, as I was losing breath.

"I can't breathe! Oh HELP ME!" I frantically thought as I began to choke on water.

Suddenly, something picked me up and started pulling me up to the surface. Out of nowhere, my body was thrown into the sky as I landed onto the island grass, gagging up water as Gwen ran over to me.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" she shouted at me as I looked back up at her, seeing the shocked expression spread across her face.

"Felt I, everywhere pain," my words mumbled, not making any sense.

"I know what happened! You were foolishly looking at the Agofish!" a voice erupted from the sky.

As I glanced up, there was a big shadow of a big sea monster staring back down at us!
