chapter 4; sticks and stones
"So, what are we going to do to escape this forest?" Saika says, staring at me.
I ran to a stone, looked at saika and said "let's set up a camp! It's almost night time!"
Saika shook her head and started looking for twigs and branches we could use, as well as stones, big leaves (to use as blankets) and sticks.
While she was collecting all the things we needed, I had to protect saika from any dangers and try to help her as well. By the time we finished setting up leaf blankets and making something to sleep on from leaves, it was nighttime. All we had to do was light up a fire with the sticks and stones we collected.
"Alright, are you ready?"
"Yup! Im ready!"
I picked up the stones as saika held the sticks for me. As I started hitting the pitch black stones together, a fire suddenly started on the stones as I dropped the stone on the wood. Immediately, I dragged saika's paws off the fire, worried.
I sighed in relief that she hasn't been affected by the fire.
"ITS SO WARM!" I purred with happiness as I was feeling extreme comfort.
Suddenly, the bushes starting rustling, making us pay attention to them.
"What was that?"
"I have no id-"
A Five Horned Shadow Beast appeared from the bushes, biting saika on the paw.
Her paws were bleeding severely as the beast back off near the bushes.
A deep voice came from the bushes, making us hesitate.
The black creature shows itself from the bushes again, its eyes as blue as a daylight sky. it had five horns: two pairs on the sides; one horn on the front.
"Wh- WHO ARE YOU?!" I growled, standing in an alert position.
The creature suddenly stood up, showing their true height. They were just about two times taller than me.
I rushed in as the creature generates a dark green aura, hitting me as I pounced on the creature. It sent me flying through the forest and so, I hit a boulder. I groaned in agony and stood back up as the creature got in a ready stance, staring intensely at me, trying to determine my thoughts and actions as well as trying to find a pattern that I attack on. I started rushing to the creature, a lot quicker and angrier than before, shouting “YOU’LL REGRET THIS!” as I used my horn to generate a yellow cape all around myself. Dodging, the stranger would jump as high as a kangaroo and land near a tree with a beehive. Glancing at the beehive, the creature used his sharp talons to control his aura, guide it to the beehive and throw the beehive at me. I dodged the beehive, looked both sides in caution, and started creating more energy on my paws as I sped up and prepared for any counterattack that they might throw at me.
“TAKE THIS!” I shouted, hitting the creature on time as they tried escaping my fury.
They didn’t have any time to react. The punch affected their head, knocking them down to the floor.
They suddenly turned their head to me and grabbed my paws, tossing me far away. I suddenly landed on my paws and sprinted to the creature. They were gone. I was completely out of energy because of that previous attack, so I couldn't track them down again.
All of a sudden, Saika holds a black orb that I’ve never spotted before.
“I caught the creature! You don’t have to worry about them anymore.”
She smiled as she gave me the orb, and I let out a sign of relief. We can finally sleep in peace, I thought, looking at the orb.
“How did you catch them?” I questioned, curious.
“I used a technique that my family passed on to me, and I perfected it, so it was impossible for anyone to escape unless I release the curse that I put on the orb I trapped that certain someone in,” she said, still smiling due to the fact that I was extremely confused.
I smiled to her back as I checked on the leaves. After a few minutes, we were ready to sleep.
