《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》Craig's Revenge
Advertisement
Izzy's PoV:
My jaw had stopped hurting so much but I still had a bruise and a slight bump although that was going down.
Sqaishey was helping me unpack my things, not all of it was here, some was still at the care home. Sqaishey had only managed to grab as many clothes as possible and then push them in the bags.
"Squid told me that know one knows how you got into care." Sqaishey said. I was about to say that I wasn't going to tell her why, when she said, "You should tell him why. I can tell you really trust him." I nodded but looked down to at the floor. "I just don't want social services to know. It's private." I said. "If you get Squid to promise not to tell them then he won't. He never breaks a promise." I nodded again. "I will tell him when I'm ready to. I'm still not sure I want to talk about it yet. It still hurts."
*Time Skip*
Me and Sqaishey had unpacked all the stuff that she had managed to get and Netty and Amy had gone to get all my things, like posters, pictures and books, stuff like that. Squid decided it would be better if I didn't go back there.
I was still shattered, only Squid knew why and all I really wanted to do was sit down and go to sleep. I saw Squid look at me and, from the expression on his face, I was pretty sure he could see how tired I was. "Hey guys, let's watch a movie!" He said. I was grateful for that. It was about 7 pm so no one thought it was weird to be watching a movie at this time. We all sat down on the sofas and Squid asked me what movie I wanted to watch. To be honest I didn't really mind but Squid had BlinkBox so I thought I may as well choose a film that I liked. I was scrolling through the options when I saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. That is my favourite film ever! So Squid bought it and we started to watch the film.

I was inbetween Squid and Sqaishey and about 15 minutes in I lent on Squid, who put his arm around me, and fell asleep. I was so so tired and I felt safe so I thought it was unlikely I would wake up from a nightmare here. I mean, I was inbetween iBallisticSquid and Sqaishey Quack with Stampylongnose, Tomohawk and AshDubh in the same room! I'm not going to feel much safer than this!
When I woke up I could see that the film was paused and Squid was no longer next to me. I bolted up, I could hear crying and some shouting. I ran to the door to see Netty crying with a bleeding lip and a black eye. Amy and Nicole were next to her, trying to comfort her. I looked to the left to see Squid trying to keep Stampy pushed up against a wall. Stampy was fighting to break free. Ash stood by the front door, it almost looked like he was there to stop people getting out. I could also see Tom holding on to Sqaishey to stop her running to Stampy, she was crying too. I backed away into the corner of the room and covered my ears and shut my eyes tight. I curled up into a ball and started crying. I remembered the last time I did this, when social services arrived after my next door neighbour had heard lots of shouting and crying, they found me in the corner of my bedroom clinging to a picture of Squid. That was the most scared I had ever been in my life and, I was now doing the very same thing in the persons house who made me feel safer last time.
I felt someone's hand touch my back and I flinched. "Izzy it's ok. Stampy's just trying to protect his sister." I lifted my head up to see Nicole. I listened to what Stampy was shouting, "FIRST HE INSULTS MY GIRLFRIEND AND THEN HE HURTS MY SISTER!! HE MUST PAY!!!!" Suddenly it dawned on me who "He" was. "Craig..." I said to Nicole. She nodded sadly. "When Netty and Amy were putting your stuff in the car he came up behind them and grabbed Netty and pulled her away. Apparently it was only him so Amy managed to get him off Netty so they could run away." I started to cry it was my fault. Suddenly there was a bang and a cry of pain. Me and Nicole ran to the door of the sitting room and looked into the hallway. Squid was on the floor and Stampy was wrestling Ash to get out of the door. Netty and Sqaishey were crying really hard, Stampy was acting like he had gone mad and Squid was lying on the floor in pain. All of this was my fault. I ran to Stampy and Ash and ran underneath their arms. I could hear Ash telling me to get out of there but I didn't listen, I pushed Stampy away from Ash and ran forward so he couldn't come closer. "Stampy stop!" I said through my tears. Stampy's expression changed from angry to upset as he looked around the room. Squid ran and stood inbetween me and Stampy. I could see from behind Squid, Sqaishey and Stampy hugging, I sighed in relief. Netty was still crying though and Amy and Tom went to sort her out.

Squid turned to me, "Are you okay?" He asked placing his hands on my shoulders. I nodded although I was shaking massively still. Squid wrapped his arms around me and the shaking subsided a little. He picked me up and carried me upstairs.
"While you were asleep Tom and Ash put some of your stuff out." Squid said as he opened the door to my bedroom. My room looked amazing! I had a double bed with a blue duvet and a wardrobe. I also had a desk with a load of all my things on it. "They put your posters on your desk as we thought that you would probably want to do that." I nodded. "This looks amazing! Thank you! I really don't deserve this." I said. "Of course you deserve it! You are the nicest girl I have ever met!" I ran up to him and hugged him. I loved it here and I had definitely decided that I was going to tell Squid my story.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
