Inky

Screaming. That’s it. Screaming. I looked around, frantically. I didn’t know why. Me? I thought. It was the best explanation. But no...it was something else. Me and Thorax came toward the commotion.

“What’s going on?!..” Thorax questioned. One of the Changelings pointed to the problem. He looked down and he backed up.

“NOLING TOUCH IT!” He yelled. Everyling backed away from it, except me. I was fascinated. I just thought, just a little tap, wouldn’t hurt, right? but I. Was. Wrong. I tapped it and it flung into the air.

“INKY! GET AWAY FROM IT!” Thorax called. I was stuck. I couldn’t move, and I was paralyzed.

“I-I can’t!” I struggled to move. I just tried and tried, but nothing happened. It came toward me. It looked like some sorta necklace. It latched on to me, and the clasp disappeared. I fell over, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Thorax just ran toward me.

“W-What’s wrong?! More importantly, why did you touch it?!” He started freaking out. I kept coughing and shaking. I could not breathe. Something was happening to me, and I didn’t know what. Then....it all...went....black.

I saw light again, and I woke up. I rubbed my head, it hurt like the sun burning someone’s eyes. I looked around. I got up, but ended up collapsing.

“O w...” I said, annoyed. I couldn’t even walk now. Great! I scooted toward the wall. That’s when Thorax came in. He looked extremely stressed out, and panicky.

“INKYAREYOUOKIDON’TKNOWWHATHAPPENEDYOUJUSTPASSEDOUTEVERYLINGSTARTEDPANICKINGNOWI’MPANICKINGAND-“ He spoke extremely fast.

“Woah woah woah, Thorax, I’m ok now!” I said. I stood up, my legs shaking. I kept my balance though. I put my hoof on his shoulder and looked at him.

“It’s ok. I’m fine. What about the others?” I asked.

“-huff- They..They’re fine now. I’m just worried if you’re ok...” He said, slower, but not less panicked. I smiled, to show him I was fine. Although, my head had a splitting headache and my legs were super numb, I had to show him that I was ok.

“I-I’m fine! See?” I said. He looked at me, and sighed. He smiled.

“Yeah...I do...” We then left, I was left with lots of pain and numbness, but it was worth it.
