Chapter 3

"Back off or he gets hurt." He told me as he pushed a claw to Brendan's neck.

"Hit both of us!" Brendan yelled.

"No, I'll hurt you too!" I told him, he winked at me and I understood, he had a plan.

"Solarbeam!" He told me, I charged up energy from the sunlight and aimed it at them.

Brendan kicked back and hit the feraligatr in the stomach, making him drop Brendan in pain. Right as Brendan was out the way, I shot the solar energy at him in a strong beam that hit him and sent him flying into the water. He laid limp in the water as he slowly sunk into the depths of the lake.

"He's not dead, he probably just fainted." Brendan told me as he walked up to me.

"You did it!" The Azumarill said happily as she jumped out from the bushes and danced around Brendan.

"You idiot! Don't let yourself get caught!" I said as I smacked Brendan over the head lightly.

"Ouch. Okay mom!" He said jokingly as he rubbed his head.

"I'm not your mother but for the time being, I will make sure you don't get into any trouble." I said with a sigh.

"We will see you later Azumarill." Brendan said as he patted her on the head.

She waved bye as she dove into the water and disappeared, Brendan and I climbed back up to our home in the giant tree.

"You know, I think it would be really easy if you could make your own room. Being you can use leaf blade to carve everything perfectly." Brendan said as he laid down on a bench.

"I might just do that." I told him as I walked over to the far wall and sliced a small opening, the perfect sized door for me.

The leftover logs where moved to a stack on the other end of the room.

"I'm going to go see someone really quick." Brendan told me as he climbed out the window.

"Don't be too long please." I told him as he jumped out, realizing the motherly tone in my voice.

I giggled a bit, I was acting like I was his mother, I actually enjoyed it a bit. I continued to slice open a space for a room, making a circular window and a large spot to sleep on, it took me about two hours and I was really tired.

I looked out the window to see that it was almost dusk and I still didn't hear Brendan come back.

"Leafa?" I heard him say.

"I'm in my room." I told him as I walked to the doorway, him walking in at the same time.

"I've got something for you." He said as he held something behind his back.

"What!? What is it!?" I asked anxiously.

"It's a thick thread woven into a blanket so you can make a hammock to sleep in." He told me as he showed me the woven cloth.

"Where did you get this?" I asked, curious of how he could of possibly got it.

"There is a leavanny who makes clothes for me and I asked her to make this for you." He told me as he walked over to the bed area and placed it down.

I cut two little hooks out of wood into the tree so I could hang the hammock up. He placed them so It would hang. I cautiously got on and was surprised that it could handle my weight.

"She made it out of an extremely tough ariados string that can never break." He told me as I jumped down from it.

"Thank you! I love you Brendan." I said happily as I cautiously embraced him.

He laughed and hugged me back gently.

"I love you too." He said with a smile.
