Running, sweating the guilt was killing me, I ran as far from Crash's house as I could.
The guilt took over; I hadn't noticed a tree root sticking up out of the ground until I saw the ground race towards me.
Landing face first into the ground, closing my eyes, filling up with tears. I just laid there waiting for my guilt to consume me. Listening to the wind blowing between the trees, I wimpered loudly like a new born pup to its mother.

The noise echoed throughout the jungle until it reached the arena, it bounced off the bowl like walls. Listening to the wimpering Crunch recognised it.
"That's Tiger!" running to the entrance before being blocked by Rok-ko "Hey out of the way" he swung his hand trying to move the mask.
"aww what's the matter punk, does the big bad bandicoot have a soft side."
Growling at the mask, Crunch shoved past and ran outside. Looking around he perked his ears up when the wimpering sounded again.
Running towards the direction of the noise he hadn't noticed Rok-ko smile evilly before disappoint.

Still on the ground I had curled myself up and hugged tightly onto my three tails. My eyes were open but my vision was blurred due to the tears, feeling ice tears mixed with normal tears slide down my fur covered face. At the single touch to the ground, my head was inside of a pool of ice.
The wind had stopped; the only noise that could be heard was my wimpering. Still curled up my ears perked up at the sound of oncoming footsteps. Closing my eyes I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me or fall into a deep sleep.
The footsteps were getting louder; waiting for them to reach me I could only hope it would end my life. The footsteps stooped next to my head, silence there and nothing more. I felt a pair of hands pick my up, I could feels someone's chest raising and falling while they were breathing.
"Hey you ok?" opening my eyes, I was looked back by a worried looking Crunch. Holding me into a hug he felt one of my ice tears fall off my face and land onto him. He leaned in, wiping the tears away and placed his lips onto mine.
Closing my eyes remembering the event before, guilt was starting to build up again. Ending the kiss Crunch smiled and carried me to the arena.
