I scoot back just enough so I'm pressing against Mandolyn, feeling her hot breath on my bare shoulder as she peers toward the tentacled monstrosity at the front of the hull. Despite the obvious peril we're now facing, I can't help but quiver in silent delight at the feel of her breath on the curve of my neck.. I gasp in fear and press back against her a bit more when I spot that phantom eye darting about in the flash of the lightning. I've sailed these seas for quite sometime now, and not much frightens me anymore.
THIS tentacled creature is unlike anything I've ever seen before. And it is terrifying!
Then, I feel Mandolyn feverishly working on my bonds, undoing the knots that keep me tied up in the ropes. I blink in surprise, genuinely startled that this pirate wench would set me free. But then, when facing a giant ghastly creature like this sickly green sea monster, well.. it's that 'desperate times' scenario all over again, and a desperate time such as this definitely makes strange bedfellows.
Bedfellows..
I let out a deep sigh of relief as the ropes slide off my hands, arms and breasts. It feels so relieving to be free again. I'm grateful for the assistance that Mandolyn offers as she helps me to my wobbly feet, glancing at her sheepishly as her hand rests on my shoulder. My hand absent-mindedly slips around her waist, but soon I follow her worried gaze and the both of us stare down the creature gradually advancing into the hull. I bite my lower lip and just STARE at this thing, the putrid sounds it makes as its tentacles slash and crash about sends unnerving chills down my spine. I nod to Mandolyn as she proclaims we be on the same side now, but quickly cut her a hot glare.
"Wait, Tits? Did ya just call me 'Tits'??"
Suddenly, one of those slimy tentacles ensnares Mandolyn tightly! I let out a cry as she's lifted high into the air, sending her crashing into the ceiling! I cringe as i watch that slimy tentacle curl firmly around her waist, pinning her arms to her sides.
"Mandolyn!" I yell out as it begins to thrash her wildly in the air! I then spot it. Dangling at her side is her cutlass, long, curved and deathly sharp! I send a frantic glance to the slithery beast, wary of the other seven tentacles. Then, I DIVE toward Mandolyn, reaching up to grab hold of her cutlass!
The tentacle suddenly shifts, moving Mandolyn to the left. My hands miss the cutlass, and instead grasps a handful of her wiggling firm butt. I pause for a moment and blink, admiring the firmness in her rear.
"Sorry," I utter shamefully, hastily reaching for her hip to grab hold of the cutlass' hilt. "It's uh, dark in here, afterall. But don't worry, I'll set ya free, lass!" I tear it free from her side and step back, spinning it expertly in the air before I bring it down HARD into the the thick, long tendril of bubbly flesh! The cry that rips free from this feral ghoul is what fuels the worst kind of nightmares! I ignore it's painfilled cry, and bite down on my lower lip, and start to SAW into that torn wound! Then--
"NNGHH!!"
Another tentacle THRUSTS forward and wraps around me! I'm forced to let go of the cutlass as the tentacle thrusts me backward, shaking me about several feet above the floor of the hull! I whip my head back and cry out in anguish as the tentacle wraps tightly about my arms, pinning them to my sides!
