I packed away the rest of my gear.Today's the day me and Orph go hiking.I sighed as I replayed her asking in my head.But,she was right.

I really do want to see Meadow again...

I slugged the sack over my shoulder and walked out the door.Leo,Raph,and Orph were waiting downstairs for me.

"Let's go." I said

Few minutes later...

I looked up at the trees,looking for a specific one.Raph was helping Leo cross a creek."C'mon Leo you've gotten super weak." He said.

Leo grunted."Don't...Remind me." Next thing I knew he fell and threw up.We raced to his side."You feeling ok?"

He nodded.Rapt sling his arm on his showers and went back to the farmhouse.I started to follow but..

"Hey Raph,me and Cipe are gonna explore more." Said Orphic.She is not giving up on this."Sure,come back before night,though," he yelled.

I groaned as she smirked at me."You are still as persistent as I remember." I said as we started walking.

"I know,"

Time skip...

We've been out here for hours.And still no sign of Meadow.I was starting to get worried."Meadow!!" I yelled into the forest.

No answer.I sighed heavily.Just then,Orph snuck up on me and scared me."Gah!!!" I said.

She laughed heartily and arched her back.I glared playfully at her."So not funny!!" I yelled.

She wiped a year from her eye."But the face you made.Classic!!!"

I shook my head and walked forward.Suddenly,i heard noises from behind me."Nice try,Orph,you can fool me once,but not twice."

"Um,that wasn't me."

I looked at Orph strangely."Then,who-" just then,we heard a deep growl from behind.I turn slowly and screamed.

A giant thing stood above is with glowing eyes.I turned wolf and attacked while Orph held it still.

I latched onto its arm and clawed it.But it threw me aside.I bumped into a tree and howled.Orph attacked it with her kunai blades that blazed with her flames.But the thing picked her up and crushed the air out of her lungs,making her pass out.

It threw her onto me as I shifted back and caught her.It walked closer to me and grinned dastardly.Then,darkness.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.I had gotten a new phone and had to login again.Also school.Since it swapped from TCAP to TN Ready.It's been stressful.Anyway I hope you like it!!
