Chapter 2- Sweet Talks (Rusty's Pov)
'Snap!'
My eyes snapped up to the sound outside. I looked over to my side to look Pink's head resting on my shoulder. Blushing, I gently moved her to a lying position before standing up. I quickly brushed myself off before stepping outside. The moon shone down, covering me in a clear ray. It was so dark that I couldn't see past the trees. The wind gently howled, swiping the bushes and trees in a gentle breeze.
"Rusty…" A soft whisper brushed past my ear. I instantly turned to the source of the voice. Nothing…
"Rusty…." Another whisper sang out into the night from behind me. I turned around again to try and find the source.
"What do you want?!" I growled into the night. I pulled out my sword. A laughter came from all directions. A dark figure appeared before me. Nothing but black. Almost like a void but his scent was different. As soon as he appeared, he vanished, turning into black mist. The black mist span around me before leading towards the cave. My eyes widened as I rushed back into the cave. What I saw terrified me, the dark figure stood before Pink's sleeping body with a sword in his hand.
"Don't you dare..!" I screamed. I tried to rush over to her, but my feet were glued onto the spot. The figure laughed again.
"You think I won't?. Rusty, you need to… wake up!" The figure suddenly disappeared.
"Rusty, Wake up!" The voice called again, bouncing from all directions. That voice…
Suddenly, my eyes opened to see Pink shaking me wildly. I groaned and stand up. She instantly hugged me. In confusion, I hugged her back.
"Thank god. You were kicking and screaming. I panicked so I woke you up" She explained. The look in her eyes shows all. Fear.
"I'm sorry…" I replied softly. No reply. I looked over at Alex and Megan. They are still asleep. I turned my head to the entrance of the cave. It was still night.
"Stay here…" I smiled at Pink. She nodded and covered herself in a blanket.

"Don't you dare…!" A scream came from beside me. I jumped up at the sound. Rusty kicked and screamed as if he was having a nightmare. I panicked. I don't know him at all… Well, at least I don't think I did. Both Rusty and Alex said that I have lost my memories but if I did, why and how?... I guess that is what they are trying to figure out. Rusty seems like a nice guy. Nice and caring. Alex is a goofball. Funny and stupid at times. Megan is a kind girl. She speaks to me as if I was her sister.
Suddenly, a black substance started to cover Rusty, starting from his hand. What was happening?
"Rusty…Wake up!" I said, shaking him. After a couple of tries, he finally woke up and with that, the black substance disappeared as if it was never there, but I saw what I saw. He groaned and sat up. I instantly hugged him. I don't know why but I felt like that was the right thing. It was like I was drawn to him in a way.
"Stay here.." He whispered. He gave me a slight smile and wandered off outside. I nodded and covered myself with the blanket to keep the cold air out.
It felt like moments went by and he still hasn't returned. Worried, I picked myself off the ground to follow his path. He was just a little way outside the cave that we were staying in. Down by the lake, sitting on a rock. Quite a romantic setting…
(Rusty's Pov)
I sat on a rock, down by the lake. I noticed the moon above reflecting on the water and all I could think about what will happen to us… Alex, Pink, Megan and… myself… I needed to protect them but am I putting them in danger by doing so?. I don't know why I wanted to play the hero…
"What are you doing?" A delicate voice asked. I rose my head to see the beautiful girl sit beside me.
"Just thinking…" I smiled, turning to look at her. Her ocean blue eyes glazed back at me, glimmering in the moonlight. I found myself becoming enchanted by the beautiful sight in front of me...
"What do... I mean.. What did you think of me?" She asked in a soft voice.
"What do you mean?... Like before your memories were erased?" I asked.
When she nodded, I couldn't think of what to say. My mind went blank as I thought. I didnt want to be selfish and claim her as my girlfriend or even wife... but it was so temping at the way she looked at me. Her ocean blue eyes were so... alluring.
"I.. You...Um" I stuttered. Her gaze never left me as she waited for me to continue.
"I see you as a great friend. You are pret... Uh. nice and funny. There are some amazing quailities that you have even now and I respect you." I spoke slowly.
Her smile grew wide at my words but her eyes left mine as she thought. Her smile dropped after a while as she looked me in the eye.
"So... We arent a thing?" She asked which shocked me. Did she want to be a thing? Like dating?.
I was about to reply when a rustle came from behind. We both whipped around and stood. I gently pushed Pink behind me to protect her. A howl echoed throughout the night sky... A wolf?...
As if on cue, a large wolf lauched itself out of the bushes.
"Hey pretty boy" she growled, licking her lips.
