"who dares to follow me into the well?" Dek proclaimed, his eyes peering over the group. "me! me! me!" yelled Calista, his hand raised much higher than the others. His back was arched strangely and his eyes looked to be bulging out of his head.
"Very well," said Dek, in fear, "Calista, im taking you to the well."
The pair climbed down the cobbled walls of the old well, careful not to lose grip of the cold stones. Eventually, they met with the cool water at the bottom. "Well this is nice," Dek chuckled to himself at the accidental pun, "what should we do?"
He turned to see Calista was now skinny dipping in the icy water, beckoning him to follow suit. Shivering, the boy walked closer, trusting in his sole partner in the well. Just then, a horrific moaning sound echoed into the cavernous depths, as the creaking of the old bucket pulley system could be heard faintly behind it. Dek turned to his companion, "Calista what the fuck is that."
Back above land, Note had seen the loving interaction between the two well-dwellers, and wanted a piece of the action. they saw the old bucket from which water was carried in and out of the well, and seized their chance.
Down they came, illuminated by the light from the surface.
"Sorry about the noise, its my twin." Note said, gesturing to the strange deformed head on their shoulder. "oh lord.." whispered Dek, both disgusted and intrigued by the growth.
"Woah Nelly!" giggled Calista.
Note began to dismount the bucket when..
"WOAH MAMA,"
Suddenly, A huge splash sent the frigid water flying several feet into the air, showering the trio inside the well. Dek looked to the site of the splash and spotted Parker bobbing slowly through the water. For some reason he had dove into the well and injured his back in the process. Dek held onto the poor boy, and miraculously he had survived. "wha- what happened?" he said faintly.
Calista lay on his back in the water, still as scantily clad as possible, "Long story.. heh" He said.
Dek and Note sat near the edge of the basin, as the latter prodded, "go on," before fluttering their lustrous lashes.
"Urmph... wut did i just walk in on.." said Parker, slowly regaining consciousness.
"You fell mate," replied Dek, amused by his peculiar decision.
The four of them splashed about in the well, enjoying the refreshing chill of the water. However, amidst the joyous atmosphere, Parker swallowed an abnormal lump of debris and began swaying unsteadily.
"What did you eat Parker." Dek asked, noticing the sudden halt on movement.
"Guys... I dont feel so good..." said Parker grimly.
In a flash, Dek grabbed onto Parker as he once again went limp, "Parker, Parker speak to me" he mumbled, tripping over his words in fear and anguish.
He only got a faint groan in return.
"PARKER." he shouted haplessly, grasping the other's sickly body.
Note begins to speak when a tall, shrouded figure known by the name Dr. John appeared within the cavern of the well. He delivers a swift blow straight into Parker's gut, causing him to projectile vomit. "Oh fuck my shirt" shouted Dek, wiping away the sick with his sleeve.
"Puke motherfucker" growled Dr. John, his eyes glowing with sadistic pleasure.
The water was now cloudy with Parker's vomit, and on the surfaced floated a small ship.
"the small debris i swallowed... was a toy boat! how silly!" giggled the mangled boy.
"silly Parker!" said Dr.John, pinching Parker's cheek playfully.
Note carefully stepped around the odorous vomit, "and 300 litres of bile..." they whispered to themselves.
Parker still heard it though. "yeah that too.."
What a rag-tag, mismatched group. Dek looked up and smiled.
