"Don't leave me!" Spongebob cries out holding his hand out…. "RUN Spongebob! They're right behind you!"... "Spongebob!"
*BANG*
Spongebob jolted out of his bed, breathing heavy, he looked all around him, once he knew he was safe he sat forward holding his head, he groaned, "Another fucking nightmare." he said to himself, he shook his head wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Spongebob, you're awake." Karen says rolling into the room, Spongebob didn't bother to look at her, he just rested his head in his one hand, "Another dream?" she asked, Spongebob nodded, "Yeah." he answered, "Well, now that you're up, I thought that you might like to know, the girl, she's awake." Karen informs him while rolling out of the room.
Spongebob walks out of the room wiping his eyes clean, he yawns and walks up to Karen's main screen that she had already logged onto, "How is everything?" he asked her, "Well, great now, but just last night a corpse was wondering inside the cave, I took it out, so it's good, I had to send one of my drones out to clean up the blood, and the girl's blood, I guess they smelt the fresh blood on the sand and tracked it to the place." Karen answered.
Spongebob sighed rubbing his head, he looked up at Karen, "Damn it, that bitch is already starting shit, whatever you said you cleared it all, right?" Spongebob asked, "Yes." she answered, "Great, I knew I could count on you." Spongebob smiled before he turned around, he leaned his back on the the keyboard and looked at the girl who was struggling in the restraints, "What are you going to do with it?" Karen asked, Spongebob shrugged, "I don't know yet," he answered pushing himself up and walking over to the girl.
The woman turned her head towards him, "mmm, mm" she couldn't get a word out with the tape over her mouth, "What's that, I couldn't hear you, you have something, here." Spongebob said circling his mouth with his finger. She's tall, the girl, probably a few years younger then him, her skin is blue, with black stripes, like a tiger, and a sharp black fin, like a shark, her chest and cheeks are white and her hair is short and caribbean green. She's wearing a white tank top and camo jeans.
She's pissed by the looks of it, not liking the restraints she's in, "Stop fucking moving!" Spongebob ordered, "No matter how hard you try to fight your way out of those restraints, I'm afraid it's not gonna do you any good to fight." Spongebob said, she's just another useless person, why fight and risk his life to save her?
After a few minutes she calmed down, Spongebob sighed, he approached her, "If I take this off, you better not scream, do you understand?" he asked, the girl quickly nodded her head, Spongebob shrugged reaching his hands up he yanked the tape off her mouth.
The girl shook her head and opened her jaw to get rid of the numbing pain, she had sharp teeth, but once she looked at the sponge she started yelling, "What the Fuck dude! Let me go you fucking…." "Nope, we aren't having that." Spongebob said putting a fresh strip of duct tape over her mouth.
He yanked her by the jaw to look at him, "What did I say, I said no screaming, incase you haven't noticed, you're not in the right place right now." Spongebob shook his head, he stared into her eyes, the girl gulped, sweat poured down her face, this sponge was scary, he looks behind him, sighing in relief, he looks back at the woman, "My son, is in the next room sleeping, and I don't want to wake him up, do you understand, I will kill you if I have to, I will throw your fucking ass out of here and tie you to a tree and let those motherfuckers eat you, do you understand." he threatened tightening his grip on her jaw.
"Now, I am going to take this tape off, and I am going to ask you a few questions." Spongebob said dragging a wooden chair over and sitting it in front of the girl, he pulls the tape off her mouth once again, but not all the way, "What brought you here?" he asked her, "Fuck you." she said spitting in his face. Spongebob put the tape back over her mouth, he wiped the spit off his face, he looked down at his fingers before they curled in a ball.
He sighed casting his eyes up at her, he shook his head, "Maybe I need to teach you a little something about being my prisoner, huh?" he asked before he raised his hand to strike, but before he could Karen stopped him.
"Spongebob stop!" she shouted, Spongebob turned to her, "What is it Karen!" he barked, "Don't do it, don't let this girl get to you," Karen said, "Your wife wouldn't have liked it." Karen said, Spongebob calmed down, he turned back, he sighed, Karen was right, she wouldn't.
"Fine Karen, I need you to get something for me." Spongebob said walking over to her and whispering something to her, "Are you sure?" she asked, looking up from Spongebob to the girl. Spongebob nodded, "I'm sure," he said walking back to the girl and sitting down in the chair while he waited for Karen.
Karen rolls back over to him with a trey that had a small blue and white gun and an old tin can that held small red fuzzy things, and little silver canisters, "Thank you, Karen." he said picking up the gun, he picked up a red dart and a silver canister and turned to the girl.
"Now, I am not going to be tested by some stupid bitch, do you understand, I am not the type who likes to play games, I will ask you again, if you don't cooperate, I will shoot you with either of these darts, you pick, I can shoot you with this here," he picks up the red dart that is capped off at the end, "And it will knock you out, it will paralyze you as well, and do you know what I'll do after that?" Spongebob asked, the girl shook her head, "I will drag your ass out of here and I will leave you outside and I will sit back and watch those monsters kill and eat you, it will be a horrible death." Spongebob said.
The girl shook her head, she was trying to say something but the tape had her covered, Spongebob rolled his eyes, "shut up, what part of being taped don't you understand?" he questioned, the girl then looked at the silver canister, Spongebob looked down at it and a big smile crossed his face, "Oooh, this." he said picking the canister and shining it in the light, "This is just an easier way out," he said dumping the canister on the silver tray next to her, he picked up a black dart, "You can pretty much guess what it does." Spongebob said, "either way girl, you'd die, and it won't be quick, very painful, so I heard." he shrugged putting the dart back in it's canister, it's a painful death, nosebleeds, ear bleeds, throwing up your own blood, not the kind of death you'd hope for.
Spongebob sighed, "One more time." he said yanking the tape off her mouth, maybe she'd get the picture, "What brought you here?" Spongebob asked, "i, I don't know." she answered, tears began to run down her face, "Lair, there must've been a reason," Spongebob barked, "and what makes you so sure that there is a reason, huh?" she asked, "because there is always a reason, and you are going to tell me." he said pressing the barrel of the gun against her cheek.
"Daddy?" Spongebob stops all of his actions, he glances behind him after hearing the sweetest voice on Earth, he smiles, "Hey Connor!" he says turning around and picks him up as he runs for a hug. "Connor my little man, i'm so glad to finally see you after so long." he says bringing his son in for a tight hug, he hand's Karen the gun and darts and he kisses Connor on the forehead, Connor just laughs, "Teh heh, daddy that tickles!" he laughed pushing his father's face away.
Connor looks behind Spongebob and notice the strange woman tied up, her head is facing down, "Daddy, daddy who's that?" he asked pointing to the girl, Spongebob turns slightly to look at the girl, he squints his eyes, "I don't know, who are you?" he asks, the girl looks at them, "I, my name's Markie," she answers. "Markie? Well that's a strange name." Connor laughs, Markie huffs a chuckle, "Yeah little kid, but it's my name." she said before she glances up at the father, "He's cute." she smiles, Spongebob looks down at his son and smiled, hard to think that such a cute little sponge would turn out like that.
"What's his name?" she asked, "Connor, look if you think that you liking my son is going to help you, you're dead wrong." Spongebob shook his head, Markie shook her head, "I'm not, I just love kids." she said, "Daddy, I'm hungry." Connor said, "Well, let's hope Karen made us breakfast." Spongebob said putting Connor down and letting him run to the stone table.
After about a few minutes of sitting at the table Spongebob had started to notice that Connor wasn't eating, and it started to worry him, "Connor you need to eat." Spongebob said, but he didn't eat, "What's wrong?" Spongebob asked, Connor looked up at him, "Can my new friend sit with us too?" he asked, "Um, well no she's…" "Then I'm not eating." Connor pouted pushing his plate away, Spongebob looked at Karen, "Why are you looking at me?" she asked, Spongebob just shrugged, "What am I supposed to do?" he asked, "Maybe, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her eat, who knows how long it's been since her last meal, she might be starving and after she's eaten, she might talk." Karen said, Spongebob nodded turning his head to the girl who was looking at them, she turned her head to the ground, he let out a deep sigh, this is a bad idea.
"Don't do anything stupid." he said looking up at her as he untied her wrist, "If you want to die, be my guest, nothing like a good target practice, my son wishes to have breakfast with you." Spongebob said as she dropped to the floor with a thud, Spongebob just stood in the same spot watching her.
Markie grunted pushing herself up, she was weak, she huffed out a puff before she looked up at the sponge before her, "Thanks." she said, *pft* Spongebob rolled his eyes, she rubbed her wrist as she followed him to the table, she sat down across from Connor, Karen handed her a dish of food, "It's not the best, but it's what we have." Karen said, Markie looked at the food and back at Karen she smiled, "Oh no this is just fine, thank you." Markie said before she started to shove the food in her mouth all at once.
Spongebob glanced at Karen and back at the woman, Markie looked up at him, she swallowed what was in his mouth and sat up, she blushed pushing her hair out of her face she looked at Karen and smiled, "It's good, thank you." she said, "Yeah, you seemed to like it, you were hungry." Karen said, Markie laughed rubbing the back of her head.
"Daddy?" Connor quietly said poking through his food with a fork, "what is it?" Spongebob asked not looking up from his plate, "Are, are you leaving again?" Connor asked, Markie looked at Connor and at Spongebob who was stirring through his eggs, he glanced up at her, he sighed and looked back down at his food, "You know the answer to that question, Connor." Spongebob said before scooping a fork full of eggs in his mouth.
Connor looked down at the floor, his eyes filled with tears, he was always like this, he was always worried that one day when his father would leave, and not come back, he hated to think of it, only three and he already had a great fear, he never got the chance to see one of those monsters up close, but if it's as bad as his father screaming in his sleep, then he was sure that it was something serious.
Spongebob sighed turning to Connor he put him on his lap and hugged him, "Connor, stop crying,you know I have to, and you know I would much rather stay here with my young man." Spongebob said ruffling Connors hair up, Connor looks up at his dad's face, "Then why don't you?" he asked before he busted out crying, Spongebob pulled him closer, "Hush, Connor calm down." Spongebob said rubbing his shoulders, "I don't want you to go! I want you to stay home with me!" he cried hugging his daddy, Spongebob looked up at the girl who seemed to be speechless.
"Look Connor, I'll come home early today, just for you, okay?" Spongebob said, Connor looked up at him, "But, what if you don't? What if…" "Connor, nothing is going to happen, I will be home before you know it." Spongebob said kissing him on the top of the head, "You promise?" Connor asked sniffling his nose, Spongebob smiled, "You have my word, now cheer up." Spongebob said rubbing his shoulders again, "I love you." Spongebob said kissing his son on his forehead, Connor laughed, "I know." he said, "Good, now finish eating so we can play before daddy has to leave." Spongebob pointed to Connor's plate.
"So, who are you?" Markie asked Spongebob, Spongebob sighed he looked up from his plate, "Can't I finish my meal?" he asked, "It was just a question." she said, "Ok, I am Spongebob, this young man is my three year old son, Connor, and that is Karen." Spongebob pointing his butter knife around the table, Markie didn't say anything she just nodded.
"So, I'm going to ask you those questions again, now that you are fed, you can take a bath after I am done talking to you, and after you are done eating." Spongebob said, Markie looked up at him from her plate. She sighed putting her fork down, ", I was running, I didn't know I'd find that place, I thought it would be a good place to hide from those hideous monsters, plus there was water, which I haven't had anything to drink all day that day and I was thirsty, I didn't" she cried, "You were running?" he asked, "Figures, what would you expect, walking into a place where the disaster happened, what would you expect walking in a place like this at the time you did, unarmed, what would you have expected?" Spongebob questioned, the shook her head, "I, I don't know." she answered looking down at her empty plate.
Spongebob sighed he handed her his plate and got up from his spot and left the room, "Come on Connor!" Spongebob shouted from his son's room, Connor gasped, excited that he finally got to play with his father after three long days, it wouldn't be long before he had to leave.
After an hour went by Spongebob had to go, he stopped tickling Connor and stood up on his feet. Spongebob looked down at his son, "Daddy has to go, Connor, I can't stay much longer." Spongebob said, "but Daddy," "Now Connor, I told you I'll be home early, you can play with your new friend while I'm gone." he said pointing to Markie who was leaning against the doorway. Connor looked past Spongebob and at the girl and smiled, "Ok." he said, Spongebob gave Connor a hug and a kiss, "Oh, I love you so much." Spongebob said hugging him tight.
Spongebob put Connor down and walked out of the room and to his room, it was time to get ready, Markie followed him, standing at his door, "What is it?" he asked, Markie just shrugged and shook her head, he turned around after putting his brown jacket on, he walked up to her picking up his bag along the way and throwing it over his shoulder, he stood in front of her.
"I'll be back soon, Karen is in charge, don't do anything stupid, she is authorized to kill you, and if you do something bad to hurt my son, she will tie you up on that there table, and I will come home and than you'll have to deal with me." Spongebob said, Markie rolled her eyes, "I'm not that stupid, Spongebob." she said, he just huffed a chuckle and pushed past her.
Spongebob gives Karen a thumbs up so she opens the hatch, Spongebob puts his breathing mask over his face and dives in and disappears.
Well, I guess I'll pause things right now, I'll see you guys next time ;)
