Chapter 3: Escaping Evil forest
Garnet was out cold. Blank and Zidane were panting because they had tried their hardest, I didn't even break a sweat! Steiner picked up Garnet when a bunch of little bug/plant monsters came out of the ground! It was like a fountain, they just kept coming! " You guys, this is our wake up call! We need to retreat!" I yelled. We all ran out except for Zidane. " C'mon!" I yelled. " Something is wrong." " Yah, you are going to get hurt if you don't come!" I grabbed his hand and yanked him away to where everyone was. " You okay?" Blank asked. I didn't say anything, I was not willing to go on with the stupid game he was playing. I then heard a rustle in the bushes and a soul cage jumped out right at me! I was alert enough to know when to swing my sword so I sliced it in half! I turned around to where we had fought the monster and I noticed the forest was petrifying! " You guys we need to leave now or else we will get petrified!" I yelled, running to the light at the end of the forest. The others followed, Vivi was slow so I ran back to help him. I covered the back half of him so he wouldn't get petrified. " Don't worry Vivi, I gotcha!" I looked back behind me and I knew the plant monsters were after me. I felt two sharp claw like things grab me at the waist and I was struggling so I wouldn't get petrified. The monster was slowly getting petrified from the legs up. " Ahh, Grr, let me go!" I yelled as Blank came to my rescue. " Let her go!" He yelled as he sliced the monster in two and the monster dropped me. " Thanks." " No problem," I ran as fast as I could, blank following behind me.like I did Vivi protect from getting petrified. When I looked back to him I saw him hand me something, it was a map. It had a bow tied with leather string and the map was somewhat ripped, but just at the edges. " C'mon take it, just incase I don't make it." He said. I grabbed it and stuffed it into my pocket. I turned around to see Blank dodging the claws of the plant things. I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me. " Look, stop protecting me, we just need to get out of here!" I yelled pushing him towards Vivi. " If you want to protect so badly, Protect Vivi!" We ran as fast as we could, until we saw the light at the end of the tunnel. " We are almost there!" Vivi rejoiced still running as fast as he could. As we were running I noticed Zidane was slowing down, and was getting tired. " Blank go help Zidane, I'll take care of Vivi." I yelled. Zidane was getting to the point where he was inches away from getting caught, then one monster came rushing towards him with tremendous speed.I held my breath and stopped while Steiner and Vivi were still running.
" Look out!" I yelled, as the monster was just about to grab Zidane. Blank then rushed to the rescue again and got taken instead of Zidane. And just like that.He was petrified.
The exit had closed up and Garnet woke up hacking and coughing. I accompanied Zidane at the closed up exit. " Sorry about your friend." " Yah, he always has to be the hero." Zidane and I remained silent for a minute or two. Then I knowing that there was nothing I could do.left Zidane alone. I walked back to where Steiner, Vivi and Garnet lie looking at the stars. " Garnet.I mean princess, I just want to know what you think of all this.like do you want to go back to Alexandria?" Garnet remained silent. Zidane walked back and Steiner immediately started scowling. " Why, you selfish lousy fool! I shall have your head for all the terrible harm you've come to the Princess!" " Steiner," Garnet said softly. " Sorry, your highness." " Look, it is not Zidane's fault that the captain failed to do his job." I said walking to the Princess. " Garnet.what ever you do, I'll follow.where ever you go I'll always be there to protect you!" " Thank you, Heather." Garnet said as she cuddled up to the fire.
