Chapter Twenty-Two
It's been about two weeks since Finnball died, an Squid's been acting a little bit different to Lee, glaring at him or making mean faces. Usually the brown bear doesn't notice this or pretends not too because he doesn't know what he did.
Anyway, a new day started up again with the beautiful sunrise at the 'end of the world' where many players have tried finding but of course that's impossible, or is it?
Stampy leans over the deck and watches said sunrise, smiling peacefully. When it's over he walks back inside to see a very confused Lee Bear jumping down from above.
"Hey, Lee." Stampy says, noting how he looked that way.
"Uh, hey, Stamps." He says.
"Is something wrong? You look a little upset."
"Actually, there is something I don't understand."
"Hm? What is it?"
"Well, you know how since Finnball died, Squid's been acting...different?"
"Yeah...and I know why, he thinks you did it." Stampy sighed.
"Wh- okay, what!?" Lee exclaims.
"I know, you weren't even there when he died, but Squid's just...grieving. A weird kind of grief." Stampy said.
"Oh...I think I get it...? Not really...like, I understand the grieving part!" He says.
"I know you do, I know." Stampy says, sighing. "Just stay away from Squid for a while."
"Okay, Stamps..." Lee said and looked up at him. Stampy patted his shoulder and smiled. "Cmon, let's go do something to eat your mind off of it."
Lee chuckled and smiled. They went to go build, one of their favorite things to do together. Lee placed a block, but then an arrow was fired at his shoulder, making him yelp and fall off the building. He hit the ground with half a heart remaining. He panted and stood up, yanking the arrow out of his shoulder.
"LEE!!" Stampy yelled and came down when he processed what was going on. He examined Lee's wound, looking nervous.
"Are you alright!?"
"Half-heart." Lee says, still panting and looked light-headed.
"Okay, cmon, let's go inside and bandage that..." Stampy says and leads him back to the house. They get it treated and Stampy sends Lee up to rest.
Lee lays down and looks up at the ceiling, then around the room.
He sighs and tries to sleep, though he couldn't. He opened his eyes again and huffed.
A minute later he heard the ladder being climbed, so he sits upright, thinking it was Stampy coming in to check on him. He saw Squid instead and freaked out.
"S-Squid...?" He said, getting up and backing away. Squid growled and took out his bow, shooting him in the heart.
Lee woke up with a jolt, sitting up right and panting heavily. He looked down at his chest and didn't see an arrow sticking out. He sighed in relief and looked around, seeing something above him and he screamed. It was the words 'killer' spelled out in blood. He ran to the ladder and jumped down, running outside.
"STAMPY!!!" He yelled desperately, sobbing the time Stampy got there.
"Lee-Bear what's wrong!?" Stampy asked.
"F-Follow me!" He cried and ran inside. Stampy followed him worriedly.
Lee ran into his room and pointed to the ceiling. Stampy gasped.
"Who did this!?"
"I...I don't know!" Lee said. Stampy looked serious.
"...Squid."
