Demons and hope.
••••••••••
While Anna was sleeping on amina’s couch, the squidbeak were still searching for her.
••••••••••
M:”WHERE did she go?”
C:”She just dissapeared!”
“Why did she hurt herself...”
Amina was still crying.
4:”im going to check inkopolis plaza. Goodnight guys.”
Agent 4 looked tired.
“Gn.”
Everybody wished 4 a safe travel.
M:”i don’t think we are going to find her.”
C:”I do hope so.
I don’t want to lose her.”
Ma:”Maybe we can make a search team?”
“That is just going to spook her.
She is going to feel if she is being hunted.”
P:”What can we do about it now? Its late.”
M:”I suggest we go home. It is too late.”
“What if she is home?”
M:”home?”
“Her human home!
She sounded miserable.”
M:”i don’t think that is possible.
She would not do that.”
“Then i want to go home. I am worried.”
M:”allright. Then lets go.
See you all tomorrow.”
“Goodnight.”
Pearl and marina waved.
••••••••••
As amina walked into her street, she mumbled.
“I hope she is alive. She can’t dissapear that fast. Right?”
Anna was still sleeping on the couch. She had nightmares.
•••••••••
She was once again in the purple room. A thick glass was between anna and atmos.
“ARE YOU OKAY?!”
Anna ran up to the glass.
“I am. Are you? Don’t hurt yourself! WHY ARE WE SEPARATED?”
“I have no idea!”
A black shadow appeared. It looked like an octoling.
“Hello ladies. Sorry to interfere.”
A:”WHO ARE YOU?”
“Anxiety. And fear.”
Atmos hair went out of her ponytail, it flowed around her.
A:”DONT YOU DARE TO HURT HER.”
A big inkbrush appeared. Anna’s head started to burn.
“Atmos, stop it! It hurts!”
Atmos attacked the shadow. It dissapeared into Atmos.
“YOU WILL NEVER HAVE FRIENDS.”
Anna ed out.
••••••••••
Anna fell off the couch and formed a bubble around her. The bubble expanded. Anna was sweating all over the place. Her hair flashed. Anna had an incredible headache.
A:”Stay awake!”
“I DON’T WANT TO HURT MYSELF.
I can’t let it dissapear!”
Anna tried to stay awake.
••••••••••
Amina was arriving at her house. She saw light coming out of the windows.
“What the...”
She walked in and saw anna lying on the floor. An aggresive bubbler was swirling around her. Even the bubbler was black.
“ANNA!”
Amina changed colors and charged into the bubbler.
She bounced right back.
“DON’T COME CLOSER!
THIS IS NOT ME!
I DON’T WANT TO DIE!”
Anna yelled, unaware that she wasn’t alone.
“CALM DOWN!”
Amina called marie and callie.
They came within 5 minutes.
M:” GEEZ!”
C:”EH. WHAT?”
The black shadow appeared in front of their eyes.
“Good evening ladies. You won’t get her back! She will die tonight!”
M:”OH. Believe me, we will.”
C:”move it!”
“Get lost.”
“YOU DO KNOW YOU ARE SAYING THAT TO HER RIGHT?”
The shadow went into her head.
Anna’s color went black. She slowly standed up. Her eyes flashed from purple to black.
When her color was purple, an terrified face could be seen.
When black, tired and aggressive.
Anna yelled.
“GO. AWAY. FAST.
I DON’T WANT TO HURT YOU!
STUPID ANXIENTY!”
She fell, but got up when flashing.
“Poor dear, she is so confused!”
The shadow giggled.
A:”GET OFF OF ME.”
A purple glow faded trough the white tentacle. Atmos appeared. This was the first time they could see her.
The black shadow overtook anna.
“G E T. O F F. “
An robotic voice from anna could be heard.
Anna charged with her inkbrush. Atmos blocked it. Her hair was waving around.
“CALM DOWN.”
Atmos charged and hitted the shadow (and Anna)in the chest.
Anna flew within the bubbler. She bounced against the side.
“AARG STUPID ANNA, what is wrong.....with...me....”
The shadow spoke, but anna yelled over it.
Anna ed out. Atmos ed anna.
A:”ANNA! ARE YOU OKAY!?
I DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT!
I WANTED TO HIT THAT SHADOW!”
Atmos dissapeared and changed anna’s color to purple.
Anna began to cry. She was in intense pain. The bubble dissapeared.
A:”GUYS! HELP ME! And her!”
Atmos faded out. She ed out too.
The trio rushed in.
“Give her medicine!”
Marie gave the ink to anna.
The biggest shockwave yet, came forth.
Anna was once again knocked out.
Atmos woke up, and appeared out of nowhere.
A:”I AM SO SORRY!
I DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT!”
Atmos sat down next to anna, her hair and hands lifting her up. Anna sat up. She slowly began to breathe. She was hyperventilating.
“Calm down! You are safe!”
Anna opened her eyes, and it flashed from glowing black and purple.
“No.”
M:”what?”
“I am not safe. Nowhere.
What happened. Who was that.
What is going to happen now?”
C:”nothing. Just wake up.”
Anna fell asleep.
A:”sorry...i failed.”
M:”NO you did not! You saved, and protected her!
Atmos looked marie in the eyes.
“Really?”
Marie was fascinated. Atmos was the same as anna, but potentially more powerful. Atmos eyes flickered. A small smile could be seen.
A:“So i did do something right!”
Anna woke up.
Atmos hair went back into an ponytail.
C:”WOOOOW.....”
Callie was amazed by her hair, whatever happened, it was still waving. It was a fashion standard for her.
“What happened?
Did i hurt you?
Amina, sorry for hurting you.”
A:”Relax. You are doing great.”
“You did not hurt me anna. You tried to protect me, by keeping me out of that.”
Amina sounded relieved.
Anna tried to sit up. She fell over.
A:”Don’t try yet! You are ill.”
“But, i am upsetting everyone.”
“NO YOU ARE NOT!
You have saved a city two times, And got knocked out.
You have given us MODIFIED specials! Who else can do that?
And you are mad on yourself, because you out! That is not fair!”
“I don’t want to die,
i want to live this life.
I have friends here.”
Anna’s hair began glowing.
A:”Thank you for making that decision.”
Her whole body ed.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?”
Anna sat up and started moving, in panic.
Anna formed a little glowing orb.
A:”Sorry about this.”
“WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?”
Amina yelled.
A:”you will see. Heheh.”
Atmos hair went loose and focused. Her tentacles formed around anna. The orb began to float.
Anna, in the orb, was yelling in panic.
“ATMOSPHERE!
STOP THAT!”
A:”I can’t. You are going to be fine. Be better.”
The room filled with light. Amina and the rest covered their eyes.
~SPLAT~
Anna got splatted and dissapeared. Atmos too.
“WHERE DID SHE GO!”
Amina yelled in panic.
M:”I think i know what is happening. Look at the couch.”
The couch shaked. Anna respawned on it. She had no hoodie on and only had a bra and underware.
She shivered.
“WAIT WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?”
She quickly jumped behind the couch.
“DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!
I-I, I DID NOT CHOOSE FOR THAT!”
Anna made a funny face.
Amina flung her closet open and got another hoodie and a skirt. She flicked them behind the couch.
“THANKS.
AAAAAAAAATMOS!”
An irritated scream came from behind the couch. She was ashamed of herself.
When she had clothes, she jumped back at the couch.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?”
“WHAT?”
Marie and callie were laughing.
“YOUR HAIR!”
Anna ran to the bathroom. She almost fell in her hurry.
Anna looked at the mirror and noticed that her hair was longer. Not a lot, but still.
And instead of having little dots on her tentacles, she had little stars.
“WHAT.”
Marie and callie were lying on the ground. They laughed their asses off.
C:”Your face! I am NEVER going to forget that!”
Marie was looking with a smug face at anna.
Anna’s face went red.
“Where is Atmos?”
A:”We are now the same.”
“What do you mean?”
A:”you were still human. I was already an inkling.
That does not mix.
But you decided to do it. To become an inkling. Not because you were scared. Just for your friends.”
“So i can respawn now? And don’t get ill from colds?”
A:”Yes.”
Anna cried.
“FINALLY!”
“CONGRATS!”
Amina gave anna a hug.
Marie and callie were crying too.
“Why are you two crying? Did i do something wrong?”
M:”I am just happy for you.”
C:”I can finally have a re-match with you!”
“Should i be happy about that?”
M:”To kick her ass, yes.”
C:”MARIEEEEEE”
M:”Lets celebrate this.
Were going to have dinner. With marina and pearl.”
“Really?”
M:”Appearantly, marina can cook very well.
Rest at the moment if you want.”
“Okay...”
Anna went to lay on the couch. She immeadiatly fell asleep.
A:”AH SLEEP. YAAAAS.”
Atmos went silent.
“ZAPFISH.”
M:”That was new.”
C:”We will wake her up, in about half an hour.”
They all agreed.
