So i dance, right? Well, my dance teacher came up with a new group dance, styled acro and hip hop. Its theamed waitress, and the song is weird and called 'Waitin' on you'. In this piece, since i won the solo challenge, i will be doing a little solo thing. I walk up to the middle at the end of the dance and turn and do two front handsprings. Then i have to finish with a front ariel and stradle and land in someone's arms! This is crazy, and i run the risk of dislocating my shoulders, so i may not update soon. If you took your time to read this, comment 'bananas' and PM me a character and ill write a story about them. You can come up with the time and one other character, and i'll credit you. Also include the title, and the original story it came from! Thanks. :3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ERIC AGAIN!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I set Gwen down gently. She was now looking around alertly. I plopped down next to her with a great sigh. "I cant believe you weigh so much!" I pulled out my canteen and drank several great gulps before clipping it back on my belt. Gwen pulled out some bread and cheese and split it with me. "This could almost be a picnic." She smiled at me. How could she looked so happy when she was in pain?
I snorted. "Yeah, if we werent dirty, lost, and injured." She scowled at me and pulled out her own canteen. When we were done, i stood up and stretched. Then I crouched down. Gwen stared at me.
"C'mon," I said playfully. "You cant expect me to carry you in my arms the whole time?" Gwen rolled her green eyes but still pulled herself up. Her leg obviously was better, thanks to the herbal salve, and she limped over to me on her own. I tensed up unwillingly when she rested her small hands on my shoulders. I scolded myself.
Shes just a friend... The Cheift's daughter. Get yourself under control! You're a Viking. Act like one! But i still bit my lip when she vaulted up on my back and wrapped her arms and legs around me. I took a deep breath and started jogging off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GWEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I dont know how long we had been going for. Whenever Eric needed water i would pour some in his mouth, but he never really stopped. It was starting to get dark again, and i had no idea how Eric would manage to jog on through the night. But he never stopped. He even tried to keep up a decent conversation. Not that i helped.
"So Gwen, how did you manage to get lost out here exactly?"
"So Eric, how did you manage to find me exactly?"
Oh, how i infuriate people so.
"C'mon Gwen..."
"Fine." I frowned off into the encroaching dusk. "I had to deliver something to Gobber for my dad. I went through the forest without getting lost-" "Astonishing" "-and i delivered it. When i was heading back i guess i got distracted and wandered off track." I sighed and rested my head on Eric's shoulder. I felt him stiffen but i was to tired to notice. And Eric was the one carrying me and doing all the work! I bit my lip and tried to work up my courage.
"Eric, when did you start caring about me?" I felt him stop. He craned his head around so fast i didnt have time to move and he knocked his face against mine. I cried out in pain as he dropped me and fell backwards. As soon as i could, i crawled over to him. "Eric!" I shook his shoulder. It looked like his head had hit a rock.
"Eric..." I shivered in the encroaching dusk. I guess we werent going anywhere else tonight. I rooted through his bag and pulled out a blanket. Clever Eric... I thought. Always prepared. I layed down next to him and threw the blanket over both of us. I wriggled as close to his body heat as possible and pretty quickly fell asleep. While i was sleeping, unbeknowest to me, Eric became concious enough to wrap his arms around me and share even more heat.
I know! SO MUCH FLUFF! Well, it is sorted under romance as well... Anyway, sorry for the long hold up. I've been doing so much lately. D': Oh, and yes, no one died in this chapter, and only because i was feeling happy. But next chapter, they meet someone/thing right out of a... *coughhintcough* Nightmare. MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Dont forget to review!
