Kayla P.O.V.
Matthew: It's...*huff* me, Matthew...
Kayla: M...M...
I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
Kayla: MATTHEW!
Before I knew it, I was in tears.
Kayla: I though you *sob* were, g-gone, I...
Matthew: K-Kayla, I...
He hugged me back.
Matthew: I'm so g-glad you're okay, I...*sniffle* also thought you were...you w-were...
Bryan: You know him, Kayla?
Kayla: He's my bo-best friend!
Bryan: Woah, really!? Man, that's convenient.
Tricky: Um, Kayla? Let him go, he's suffocating.
Kayla: Ah, sorry, I...
I wipe my tears away, and see that Matthew is still crying.
Matthew: I'm so *sniffle* relieved...
Bryan: Okay, enough with the waterworks. Tricky needs some time to rest, so let's stay here for a while.
Tricky: Sorry guys, but-ow, it hurts so bad...!
Matthew: It's okay, I need a *huff* breather, too...
Kayla: Same...
We all sat down. I leaned against a tree, as Matthew leaned against a large rock.Tricky and Bryan sat behind an even bigger tree.
Kayla: Matthew, tell me. What have you been doing this whole time? Why are you wearing a collar?
Matthew: Well, that's...
Matthew avoided eye contact, and I know that he feels...uncomfortable about something.
Matthew: They, uh, captured me...
Kayla: They did!? But why didn't they kill you?
Matthew: Uh, one of the protogen, um...
Tricky: Protogen? Is that what they'e called?
Matthew: Mhm.
Kayla: What did one of the "protogen" do?
Matthew: They, uh well, keptmeasapet!?
Bryan: What did you say?
Kayla: One of them...had a pet?
Matthew: No! Well yes, but...I was the pet?
......Did I hear that correctly?
Kayla: WaitwaitwaitwaitWAIT, let me get this straight. One of the creatures, the things that have been ruthlessly murdering everyone, kept you as a PET!?
Matthew: Pretty much.
Tricky: Oh god...why would they do that?
Matthew: Well, he said it was because I was...adorable?
Bryan: Adorable? What...!?
Matthew: I don't know! That's just what he said!
Kayla: Did he...hurt you?
Matthew: Strangely, no. He kept petting me, and calling me his pet, saying I was c-cute, it was...weird.
Tricky: But they're monsters! They killed millions of people, they even murdered someone if front of our e...eyes...
Brayn looked down, he looked miserable.
Tricky: S-Sorry...
Matthew: ...Well I...am not sure. The other protogen didn't seem to have this...fascination over me, it was only him. It was a bit scary, to be honest.
