What's a forest without love?!

Mia and Ivan turned around quickly only to be faced with a very big monster. It looked like a tiger but its skin was full of scratches, burn marks, and it was a dark shade of blue. It also had a strange looking tattoo on it's forehead, the tattoo was 2 staffs with a snake wound around both of them. They backed away slowely but each step they took back the more the tiger moved towards them. It was about 3 feet in length and and about 3'5" in height. And it didn't look like it wanted to sit down and have a cup of tea. The tiger looked at them and growled getting ready to pounce

"Oh god! What do we do now? That thing looks like it could eat us alive." Ivan said while trying to look for a way out.

"We could attack it with our psyenergy and maybe even summon one of the guys to help us out, if things get out of hand." Mia told him ressuringly.

"I hope to god you're right Mia because if we can't beat this thing, then we're gonna get hurt badly, and it doesn't look like Isaac and Garet are even close enough to hear us if we yell for help." Ivan suddenly went pale. "oh no" he said

"What's wrong Ivan, is something the matter?"

"I just remembered that the djinn are still recovering from the last attack with the dragon, so they can't help us now."

"Well then I guess we're just gonna have to depend on our psyenergy to help us now won't we?" She looked worriedly at the tiger. It didn't seem to be very powerful but then again they couldn't be too careful or it might cost them. Out of nowhere the tiger took a sudden leap forward and landed only about 3 feet away from the two adepts.

"AHH!" yelled a startled Ivan jumping back. He backed up and got ready to use his psyenergy.

*************************************************************

Meanwhile, a couple miles away near a spring stood an angry abnd drenched Isaac while a couple feet away stood a scared Garet.

"Come on Isaac please it was just a joke, you can't kill your best friend over a dumb joke. Come on buddy chill out please you're starting to scare me."

"You should be scared Garet because when I catch you I will slice you up like a christmas tree." Garet paled and started backing away slowely.

"You can't be serious can you?" Gulp! " I guess you can. Uh-oh Ahhhhhhh!" He screamed and shut his eyes, because Isaac had just jumped at him with his sword flying down towards his head. Whooosh! That was the last thing Garet heard before fainted right on the ground. He was awoken by a huge splash.

"AHHHHHhhhhh! He jumped up and looked around wildely finally he turned to Isaac who was standing 2 feet away holding a bucket in his hands and laughing hard. He then looked down and found himself wet to the bone. While he had fainted Isaac had taken it upon himself to soak him with water.

"Hey! How could you do that, that's not fair. First you try to kill me and now you saok me with water? What do you hate me that much? What have I ever done to you?" He yelled at Isaac angrily.

"Well to answer your questions no I don't hate you, second I didn't try to kill you I was merely joking around with you, and third you have done a lot of stuff similar to this in the past. So don't even try to get out of this one Garet. He glared at him in return.

"Fine we're even . Are you happy now? And besides the only reason I did that was because you guys looked so funny sleeping together in each other's arms. You like her don't you? Admit it Isaac you're in love with Mia. I've seen the way you look at her ever since she joined us on our journey."

"Alright fine I admit it I do like her. There I told you now will you quit bugging me?"

"HAH! I knew it. You don't just like her you love her." He turned serious."Do you really love her Isaac?"

"Yes I do Garet. I've been in love with her since the day we met. But I can't get enough courage to tell her. Beside I don't even know if she feels the same way about me or not, for all I know she could be in love with Alex, she seemed to know him very well." He sight sadly.

"Don't worry buddy. I doubt iof she's in love with that Alex guy because he looks old enough to be her brother, and besides if I know Mia I think she'll return your feelings that is if you get the courage to tell her. And you better or I'll never forgive you, not only that but I will never leave you alone for as long as you live. Not untill you tell her that is."

"I seriously hope you're right about this Garet. And don't worry hopefully I'll muster up enough courage to tell her soon." He said a little happily now that Garet ahd helped him out with his problem.

"I think we should be getting back. No telling what can happen to the others if we don't get back to them soon. Theyu could get in trouble and we wouldn't be be there to help them out. It would be my fault if anything happens to them."

"I hope you're right. Besides Ivan will watch over Mia if anything happens, after all these are powerful adepts we're talking about." They heard a distant scream. Isaac paled because it sounded faintly like Mia.

"Oh no! I knew we shoudn't have left them alone." He started running back in the directions of the camp.

"Hey. Wait up Isaac I'm right behind you." Garet yelled running after him.

"If anything happens to them especially Mia I will never forgive myself. This is all my fault. Shit!

"Come on Isaac don't blame yourself. It's not you'r fault it's my fault ok? I shoudn't have soaked you guys with water in the first place." Garet said to him worriedly. They were getting close Isaac could tell because there were leaves and branches scattered across the ground from him chasing after Garet. They soon reached the camp site. The site before them was horrifying. The tents and items they had were scattered around, there was blood everywhere. They looked to their left and saw Ivan and Mia, They rushed to see if they were alright. Ivan was lying on his back his face was bloody and he had sratches and cuts all over his arms and body. He had one nasty gash across his left arm. He was concious but barely.

"You guys made it thank god. I thought we were goners for sure." He started coughing and spitting out blood.

"Shh! Don't talk Ivan. Hold still untill I heal you, then you can talk all you want and maybe even tell us what happened." Isaac said to him. He raised his hand and said Heal well. Ivan was healed, his gashes and cuts were gone except for a couple. He then rushed over to Mia. She wasn't as lucky. She also like Ivan was covered with Scratches and cuts, and she had a nasty cut across her waist, she was bleeding very badly and was unconcious. Her right cheeck was gashed by what looked like a claw of some animal. He quickly cast Heal well. It helped somewhat. She was healed that was the important thing but she was still unconcious, and Isaac suspected from her loss of blood. He hoped she would wake up soon or they would go searching for a town or village soon.They walked around the camp fetching wehat they could and Isaac carried Mia to a nearby tent to sleep in until she awoke. Then they sat down with the exception of Ivan resting a gainst a tree, explaining to them what had happened exactly.

"So Ivan are you feeling up to telling us what happened?" Garet asked him.

"Yes. After you guys ran off, Mia and I were standing there talking. When suddenly we heard a growl and a tiger or an animal that looked similar to a tiger jumped out at us from behind. We fought using all of our psyenergy we couldn't even summon any of the guys to help us because the djinn were still recovering. Eventually we continued fighting until Mia and I ran out of psyenergy, lucky for us though I used shine plasma one last time I remember it hit the animal but iot was still up. After that I think I fainted from the pain and exhaustion. I think Mia was still fighting I don't know if she destroyed it or whjat happened after that. I guess we'll have to aske her when she wakes up. By the way Isaac is she alright?"

"I think so. She's lost a lot of blood and she's unconciouis right now. But I hope she'll be okay for our sake. I'm so sorry Ivan, this is all my fault if I hadn't taken off after Garet this would have never happened. I should have had more sense than that.

"It's alright Isaac. It's not your fault, none of us are blaming you for this you know. Either way you couldn't have prevented what happened. So please stop sulking if Mia was awake right now she would probably say the same thing. Besides we all know Garer can't help it since he's got mashed potatos for a brain." Ivan said smiling.

"Hey! Sure blame it on the poor guy why don't you? Of course I know it's my fault you don't need to rub it in you know." He said sulkely.

"Christ! Calm down Garet I wasn't blaming this on you at all. Who said it was your fault? I didn't say any such thing. Besides I just told Isaac the same thing and I'll tell you again, this was no one's fault so both of you stop blaming yourselves for something that happened. It already happened and we're fine now so please no more talk of who's fault it is for now please just sit down and relax guys."

"I hope you're right Ivan. Sorry we'll both shutup now. Why don't we all try to get some rest, it's getting late and were obviously not going anywhere any time soon, so let's just get some rest for now and tommorrow we'll decide what to do." Isaac said to them. He decided to stay up for a while and watch over Mia. He was getting worried about her because she hadn't awoken since she'd been unconcious and he was also worried that she might not wake up at all. Stop worrieng and concetrate on getting everybody out of this forest Isaac. Besides she'll be fine and you know it. You should be concetrating on more important things right now like how you're going to defeat Felix and Alex and rescue Seba and Jenna. His mind argued with him. He heard a rustle in the bush and turned around quickly.

"Who's there?" He asked suspiciously. He heard the rustle again and something emerged from the bush. Isaac took out his sword and prepared to battle whatever it was. He stared at what had come out from under the bush and started laughing so hard that fell flat onto the ground...
