You had found out a long time ago that your best friend, Arthur. He was tense about it at first, obviously thinking you'd think he was a freak who could talk to fish, but once he realized you were accepting then he was calm about it. You became roommates when you turned eighteen, knowing each other enough to not totally get annoyed

It was almost midnight, and you were about to turn off the lights in the apartment and lock up for the night. Before you did however, Arthur unlocks the door and steps into the room looking bloodied, exhausted and completely dazed. His voice was raspy, and blood trickled down his face when he sit on the couch.

"Help.."
