“Awesome! She’s following us!” Cranberry cried out to the others in excitement. “Let’s get her out of here as best we can.”
“Just as long as she doesn’t try to attack us again I’m fine with helping her out.” Striker stated, running quite hard to keep ahead of the on-going charge.
“The forest is quite a maze here; we should be able to lose them. If there’s a river nearby we can also get past their forms of tracing.” Raiden exclaimed, looking back at Pink.
“You’d think someone would’ve brought more than their noses for tracking.” Cranberry laughed a bit, watching Pink get continually closer. After a moment Pink managed to catch up, joining in with the group.
“If any of you try anything funny you’ll join my list of victims today.” Pink snarled to the group as she caught up.
“Don’t worry we’re not going to harm you at all. Let’s just get you out of here.” Cranberry re-assured Pink, giving her a friendly smile.
“Oh, and by the way, look what we got for you!” Raiden said in a friendly tone while showing Pink that they had come across her pack of food.
Pink stared in amazement while continuing to run, “How did you get that?! I saw you run by me!”
“We heard the commotion behind us and when we saw you we knew to get everything prepared. Raiden…” Striker pointed to Raiden as he was talking, “…spotted your item pack so we decided to fetch it for you. We figured you’d want to keep these supplies.” Striker finished in a confident tone.
“Hmm… well, I suppose I can at least say thanks.” Pink grumbled reluctantly.
“Look!” Raiden shouted, pointing to a wide stream up ahead, “Lets go through there and run upstream through it a bit. We’ll likely be able to shake them off.” Everyone nodded and followed the instructions, running to the stream and making their way upstream a fair distance before stepping out and heading into the thinner woods on the other side.
“This is ‘Alganclin Woods’, it’s a rather peaceful place and there should be some more actual wildlife here. You humans seemed to have drained all the wildlife away from my original home. There is next to nothing left there and I was growing quite tired of eating berries and fruit I could find there.” Pink exclaimed, snarling at the mention of the lack of other wildlife at her home.
“Well I can guarantee you the only bit of that any of us had to do with it were bringing in a total of three creatures. One from each of us, but that’s all.” Cranberry assured Pink, sounding a bit disgruntled from Pink’s statement.
“I’ll neglect the many you have each killed as well. They have become so violent now that you humans have arrived that there is guaranteed to be a lot more death and despair between them.” Pink frowned, showing that something was bothering her.
“Pink, you know this place right? Where would be a good place that you could live for awhile?” Raiden asked curiously.
“There is a sufficient place for a home about two miles north of here. There is plenty of fresh water and I know of a suitable place for shelter there as well.” Pink replied, turning towards the area she was describing.
“We’ll continue to escort you there, but if you want us to go we’ll let you go the rest of the way yourself.” Striker offered as he noticed the sounds of the commotion behind them getting quieter and heading in a different direction.
Pink’s face remained emotionless, looking to be thinking about the offer. After a moment she nodded to herself and replied, “My body is not in very good shape right now, so I would prefer continuing to have an escort for the time being.”
Cranberry smiled from Pink’s decision and answered, “We’ll be happy to escort you the rest of the way there. I’m just happy I could return part of the favour you paid me last night.”
“Consider yourself lucky I bothered to help.” Pink replied with a dark glare, “I would not have bothered if that male human had not of performed such an unfair tactic on you. I believe in sneaking up on your opponent, but not on immobilizing them instead of merely getting a quick first strike.”
Cranberry gulped nervously at Pink’s answer, “Well I am still thankful nonetheless. If you will let me, I can help heal your numerous wounds a lot faster once we get time to rest.”
“My body is more useful to me fit rather than injured, so I’ll allow that.” Pink answered carefully, a hint of suspicion in her voice.
“Very well, let’s just try and reach this shelter of yours first.” Cranberry nodded as she took another quick glance at Pink. She is always so untrusting and suspicious of everything. I guess the only person she really trusts is herself. Hopefully I can at least earn some trust from her… but even that will likely be difficult I think. The party continued to move through the rapidly thinning woods, and Cranberry decided to ask out of curiosity, “Even though we are in a different area, I still haven’t seen any wildlife. Is there a reason that there is none here as well?”
“It is because the creatures here know better than to try and attack me. You are strangers to them so they will attack you thinking they can easily win. When it comes to me, they don’t consider me worth the effort even if they do win, they’ll take too much damage.” Pink replied with a bone-chilling laugh.
“Judging from how I’ve seen you fight… I can see why.” Raiden commented with a nervous expression on her face. After another few moments the party arrived at the destination Pink had described. The trees were few and far between, and there was a lovely little fresh-water stream going through the woods to form a small pond at the base of a high cliff. The shelter Pink had mentioned was a small cave in the side of the cliff.
“Just as long as she doesn’t try to attack us again I’m fine with helping her out.” Striker stated, running quite hard to keep ahead of the on-going charge.
