The same night as the party~

Clay's POV
I was exhausted, those homework were difficult but with George's help last time, it was bearable I think.

A part of me wanted to sleep and not to think about anything anymore. But another wanted to investigate, it wanted to help George find his big brother. Maybe my mother could help. Her laboratory has a lot of high tech that I could use.

I texted my father that I have something to take at mom's place and will be home late. And then I started to walk towards the lab, it wasn't far from where I was anyway. A ding caught my attention, my phone got a notification. I looked at it, it was Sapnap.

Snapchat: Dude, George is at Sam's party.

What? What is he doing there? That got me confused, as I stopped to examine the text. George isn't the type of person to go that kind of stuff. Why change now? Then a second message popped up.

Snapchat: He just left me to dance.
Snapchat: AND HE F^CKING CALLED ME SNAPMAP!!!!!

The last bit made me laugh but my concern stayed. There must be something going on. This isn't George. I shook it off, thinking he might want to relax for a moment after the stressful event that just occurred. 

I continued my way towards the laboratory. Some light were still on meaning that there were still some people in there. I greeted the guards as usual and entered the entrance. The hallway was dark and quite terrifying but I'm used to it.

I walked towards my mother's office but then I heard some noises coming from a door. It was a growl or a groan. I could figure out. I was about to open the door of the office but the noise came again. This time I decided to check out.

As I walked in the corridor, the wall I noticed were familiar. I've already been here. And the noise were coming from the same room were I saw... The strange creature. I could hear its growling and screaming. The loud banging meant that it was trying to break the walls.

Hesitantly, I unlocked the door. And as soon as it opened, I was brought down by something. I opened my eyes to see the creature on top of me. Fear began taking over but I still found the courage kick his stomach with my leg before crawling away from it.

When I finally got the chance to stand up, I ran to a direction. I could hear some alert going off but I couldn't care less. I turned my head to see where was the beast when I saw my mother approaching the creature who was still on the ground, confused. That caused to stop on my track and hide in another corridor.

I peeked from the hallway I was hiding. My mother was holding a weapon that seemed like a tazer. The creature hissed at her and was about to hit her with its long scorpion tail but something pinned it on the ground. Metal tentacles coming from her back. Hopefully, it must be just a machine attached to her back not actual tentacles growing from her back.

The scorpion tried to move its tail but that distracted it from receiving a electrical shock from the tazer. It made feel bad for a moment. Then a second shock came and I turned away, I didn't want to see more nor to hear the pained screams of the creature.

I was running back towards the entrance and got outside. To my surprise the guards weren't there anymore. But I didn't care, I started to run back to my house. Hoping no one would have seen or talk about me.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I was back at my father's house. Him and my sister were already asleep I think.

I was shocked to say the least. My body couldn't move from the living I stood in and my mind couldn't get away from the precedent scene. I feel bad for the creature and angry at my mother. But I knew she wouldn't be too happy, if I told her I went there and spied on her work. I sat down on the cough. I exhaled repeatedly, calming down.

Those metal tentacles, they seemed quite familiar. I've already seen them somewhere. Realisation hit my face like a truck, those tentacles were those of the octopus lady. When we were at the London eye, that woman came and cut the wheel.

The dizziness I got when the wheel was turning still traumatizes me until now.

But that's not the subject. I got on my phone and searched on the news during that day. What showed on my screen confirmed my suspicions. She is the octopus lady. My mother is a super villain. I couldn't believe it. I need to breath and stay calm so I don't wake my father and my sister up.

This couldn't be worse right?

Suddenly, I received a message from Sapnap. I groaned as I check on it, it was probably about the party. Maybe he was drunk.

Snapchat: DREAM! SEND HELP!
Snapchat: HEROES ARE HERE! AAPNWJOFJEOZVZLZPFLPE'DEPZ
Snapchat: DREAM, THERE'S A MONSTER AT THE PARTY AND THEY'RE FIGHTING IT.
Snapchat: I CAN'T SEE GEORGE ANYWHERE!!!!!

Yep. He was definitely drunk. I decided to call him. The phone ring and then "DREAM!" He screamed through the phone. I had to take my phone away from my ear for a second. "Sapnap, what the heck." I screamed back. "Listen. Send help. There is trouble going on."

"Trouble? What happened?" I asked worried, his tone didn't seem like he had been drinking at all. Which lead to wonder if all he said was true. "Okay okay, the super heroes are here and they are fighting a giant monster. It's so cool" he exclaimed, though I could also the chaos going on behind. 

I hear wall breaking, some glass chattering and people screaming. Sapnap was panting heavily as well. He seemed somewhat excited and anxious at the same time. "The heroes are being massacred. But they still injured the thing?"

All he said felt like they were just some fantasy story he made up. But I believed the idiot. "DUDE, the beast ran away. And-and the heroes are also pretty f^cked up." I was speechless to say the least. I couldn't think of anything but being worried of my best friend's safety. AND ALSO George's who also was at the party.

"Is- is George okay?" Was all I could say. And a silence came through for a second before Sapnap said "I have no f^cking idea. Wait do I not f^cking mean anything to you?" He snapped but I could sense that he wasn't totally mad. "Well, you seem to be completely fine" I replied and he sighed.

Then I hear sirens. "Is that the police?" Sapnap hummed in confirmation. He proceed to tell me that the heroes talked to them before flying away. He also told me that the spider guy had been injured in the fight. George was still out of sight.

"I've gotta go home now. We will be talking tomorrow." He said and I agreed, saying my goodbye before hanging up. I then called George to assure that he was safe but he didn't pick up. God, I hope he was okay.

That's all for today folks. See ya in the chap! Sorry short chap.
