Chapter 8

As I slid into the darkness after Deadlox (I don't feel like I know him enough to call him Ty) I heard a scream, it certainly did not come from Deadlox because the scream came from deeper below. When I reached the other end of the slide I shot out the end bowling Deadlox over I cringed. "Sorry" I said "It's fine" He answers getting back onto his feet. Deadlox starts walking in what I think is a random direction but it seems that he knows exactly where we are going.

We hear another scream this time it sounds as if it is in terror. I climb to my feet and run over to Deadlox. "What was that?" I ask. "I'm not sure but I think I know who it is." He said running down down the passageway with me trying to keep up, even though I was fairly tall I had trouble keeping up and eventually I lost him. I was lost hopelessly lost, I decided I would walk for a bit in the direction Deadlox had been heading. But which way is that? I closed my eyes and stuck my arm out and spun opening my eyes to find myself pointing at a wall. I shrugged and walked forward to inspect it, my way of choosing directions had never been wrong before so why stop trusting it now? I tapped on the wall finding one spot sound different from the rest as I pushed the wall it suddenly swung inwards sending me sprawling on the ground behind the hidden door. It swung shut silently I only knew it was shut because of the loud clunk that sounded bouncing off the walls. As I got up I realized my eyes were emitting light and that I could see perfectly fine.

~Le Time skip~

After exploring the room I was in I realized it was a library of sorts filled to the brim with potion books and potion racks with potion bottles in them, chests filled with ingredients and chalk, coldrons and heaps more the room itself was MASSIVE all I had seen in there was only a fraction of what it really held. Another scream was well screamed and it sounded like it came from in this room, I rushed to where it had sounded like it had come from and I saw Deadlox and it seemed like Ssundee who Sky had been telling me about earlier Ssundee was stuck in a giant scorpion thing's grasp and it's tail was dug into his skin while Deadlox had a diamond sword and was trying to free him but was making it worse. "Deadlox? How did he get in here," I muttered and ran over climbing up onto a bookshelf to get a better look so I could help. I couldn't see Ssundee's eyes because of his sunglasses but I somehow could feel the pain and terror coming off him in waves and loyalty mixed with fear from Deadlox.

I shook my head and looked around to try and find something to throw at the to distract it. I stood up slowly as not to get the attention the scorpion yet and winced as I pulled out a book and aimed at it. "Come on you miserable beast! Leave Ian alone!" Deadlox yelled at it I ignored him and threw the book at the beast hitting it on the head. Deadlox looked at me and his eyes opened wide and turned and shoved his sword into the scorpion several times to make sure it was dead. I climbed down the bookshelf I was standing on and walked over to Ssundee to check if he was okay. "Are you okay Ssundee?" I asked as I knelt beside him checking the wound from the scorpion's tail, it was covered in green venom and his blood I winced thinking of how much it would hurt, I walked over to Deadlox I was going to see if he could spare me ripping up his shirt for bandages because Ssundee's shirt was toast I couldn't tear mine up so he was the logical choice. "Deadlox can you help me clean up Ssundee's back? The wound needs to be cleaned, covered with something and then Ssundee will need lots of rest." I looked at Deadlox and he was staring at me like that woman did, I mentally slapped myself for not putting the contacts back in after they had come out when I had fallen through the door.

"Y-you've got w-white eyes," Deadlox stutters looking freaked out. I sighed and decided that he should get the full story same with Ssundee but he looked out of it lying on the floor looking as if he was dead. I took a deep breathe and began my story starting with Israphel jumping me, the basted, to meeting him and Sky, discreetly leaving out where I had stolen the contacts, instead vaguely putting in that I had found them in the plains. After I had finished Deadlox just stared then shook his head. "I'm sorry for staring it''s just I thought you would kill us. We better tell Adam what happened down here." "Deadlox can we not tell him about me having white eyes?" I asked my eyebrows creased in worry. "Okay if you want but I bet it will come out eventually." Deadlox replied "and call me Ty." I nod while Dead- I mean Ty takes off his shirt and starts tearing it into strips I look away busing myself trying to find a cleansing potion to clean Ssundee's wound.
