Chapter 4 - To the hideout.
Roses POV -
Eventually, we got to land, and landed in the trees not too far away from the beach. The trees were huge, honestly you would not believe it and the top of the trees vanished after a while. The forest floor was covered in shrubs or patches of grass, and some of the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen, in random patches all over the forest. When we hit the ground, he let go of my hand and turned to face me. There was a huge smile on his face that took up most of it.
He held out his hand to me, as if intended for me to shake and said in a happy squeaky voice "Hi, my names Chip"popping the 'p'
I looked down at him and returned his smile and I started to shake his hand lightly, I was a bit shocked when he started to shake it harder. The shake shook throughout my whole body, I managed to reply in a shaky voice "Hi Chip, my name is Rose". He stopped shaking my hand and looked around. Probably getting his bearing but I had no Idea how, I personally had never been good with geography, directions or places, to me everything looks the same.
"Chip" I said softly, he turned to face me still smiling, "thanks for saving me from that dreaded place, I honestly thought I was a gonna".
"No problem Rose" he said so sweetly and innocently it made me want to give him a huge hug.
"Come on rose we have a lot of walking to do and not a lot of time to do it", he said fast and grabbed my hand and started to pull me behind him, when a twig snapped to our left he stopped, and both our heads snapped in that direction.
"Chip", a voice said to our left, and from the tone, I could tell it was irritated.
"Yup", was all Chip said in reply making the 'p' pop. It made me smile and I ruffled his hair in response.
A boy stepped out from behind a tree. He was clutching a wooden bow in one hand, it already had an arrow in it, ready for action. He was skinny and looked like he'd be more about speed and stealth than strength. He unlike Chip, wore dark clothing that looked bran new, a loose black t-shirt and ripped jeans and combat boots. He was quite pale. His face and arms were covered in freckles, but most freckled people are quite pale anyway. He had a mixture of brown and ginger hair. But overall he had a young face, but like I had thought to myself many times today, I am bad at guessing people's ages.
"Chip, what are you doing here, I thought you were supposed to take her", he pointed at me and continued, irritation growing in his voice, "back to the hideout" he questioned. He glared at Chip. Oh no he didn't, there was no way I was letting him talk about me like that when I was standing here and let him get away with it, also who did he think he was having a go at Chip.
"Excuse me" I said to him glaring back the same dagger as him as he did to me.
"What" was all he said clearly aggravated with my sudden out burst in his rant at us.
"Were do I begin, well first of all she," I gestured my hands up and down myself and continued "has a name. It's Rose by the way, thank for asking" I said sarcastically, Chip smirked at my comment which got him a glare of this kid. I stepped I'm front of Chip, now he was taking it out on Chip as well. Poor boy.
"Also," I continued taking in a deep breath trying to control my rage, "how dare you talk to Chip that way, he just saved me from those, those..."
"Pirates" Chip addd seeing I couldn't find the words. Bless him, he was so sweet.
"Thank you Chip", I said smiling at him and returned my gaze to glaring at this kid, stepping a bit closer each word I spoke, "so you better start explaining to me why you feel the need to come over to us, with the ump and start on us, for no good REASON" I shouted now face to face with him.
The boy looked gobsmacked I even said anything to him. I smiled. I had won. I had the overwhelming urge to stick tongue out at time, but my nan always said it wasn't very lady like. So I suppressed the urge.
"Ok then", was all the boy said and he slowly began turning to walk away never taking his eyes off me and sighed, "and just so you know the names fox", he added before running into the trees.
I sighed and turned to face Chip, who was still smiling. I gave him a curious look.
"Do you know what you just did?" He asked swaying back and forth in one position merrily, shining ing his hand out os sequence by his side. I shook my head not liking where this was going.
"You stood up to Fox" he whispered to me, smiling mischievously. I was still confused, but that happened an awful lot with me even if I wasn't in dire situations.
"Ok Chip, I'm completely lost" I said to him, buy he shrugged his shoulders and once again grabbed my hand and started to pull me through the forest.
"I tell you later, right now we got a lot of walking to do", he said over his shoulder.
I had no Idea where we were going but he just saved my life and I trusted him. I mean what harm could a little kid do.
Once again thanks for reading and please review
