Here's another installment of "Ocelots and Witherstorms". Read and review!

Hit it, Crisper!


"WHERE'S LUKAS?!" Gill screamed before hearing a splintering crack.

CRASH!

"GIIIIILL!" Aiden screamed, involuntarily jumping and pushing his friend out of the way as a flaming tree collapsed where Gill had just been standing! The two landed on the ground behind the fallen tree, Maya staring in horror and suspense. Aiden slowly stumbled to his feet and helped Gill regain his own footing. They started to run before they heard a loud crash, like, painfully loud. Maya shouted in unsettlement as they watched the entire flock of players who had ran for shelter being pulled into the sky. Shelter was only a dream now.

"We need to get somewhere safe! Now! Run!" Aiden screamed. The three took off for the woods as night fell.

((Timeskip brought to you buy the guy who wrote that rabbit song))

Aiden lay restlessly on the forest floor, his hands to his chest.

'How could anyone sleep at a time like this?!' He thought to himself frustratedly, gripping the grass in his hand. The thin green growths bent in his hand and he ripped them up, allowing them to slowly float to the ground. He felt Gill at his side, shifting continuously. Aiden felt tension growing within until it threatened to leave his body in a frustrated, confused, horrified and homesick cry. Instead, he pulled his jacket over himself to make a small cover and shut his eyes, tears dripping from them.

The salty tears slid down his hot face and he held his breath, trying not to make too much noise. After a few seconds of stifling his sobs, he sighed, trying somehow to release the overwhelming feelings before he exploded.

"Aiden?" A soft, scared voice in the darkness underneath the bright moon. Aiden quickly wiped his tears and turned to face Maya who stared back at him with dependant eyes. "I... heard noises." She tried not to let him know that she heard his crying. Never do that with Aiden. Ever. "Are you... okay?"

"Yeah." He rolled over, facing the deep blue sky. "Just having a hard time sleeping, that's all." She could hear the lying tone that tried to cover the fear and anger in his voice. He rolled over, though she wanted to see his eyes. She simply put her hand on Aiden's back.

"Try to get some sleep, Aiden." Those were the last words Aiden heard before his tired body was lulled into the darkness.
