Thank you Topazdragon98 for reviewing! I'll write from Pico's POV from now on.

When I woke up again the thunderstorm was over and I could hear birds chirping off in the distance. I squinted to adjust to the sunlight. My arm felt dead because I had slept on it wrong and this cold, cave floor wasn't exactly the most comfortable thing I had ever fallen asleep on.

I stood up and massaged my arm muscle. I glanced over to where I was sleeping. There was a pile of dusty old leaves but they weren't like oak tree leaves like I was used to; they were tropical, palm tree leaves. This cave would make a nice place to rest up with Sorb-

Sorbet! Where the hell was she? Did something happen to her? I found myself on my feet running.

"SORBET!" I screamed like a maniac, some birds took flight as I ran shoving leaves aside and tripping on tree roots. I continued calling her name. I couldn't even process the fact that I might not see her again. I ran down to the river figuring that's where she'd be; you know being a water mage and all.

I ran along the damp moss that grew on the river banking. She wasn't here. I felt my heart squeeze uncomfortably in my chest.

"Sorbet!" I called. I stopped running to catch my breath. Sorbet was gone. Sorbet was gone where I couldn't save her. I couldn't get myself to say the four letter "D" word.

"Sorbet's dead…" I whispered. I felt my eyes sting with tears for the girl I loved. I leaned against the side of a nearby tree and let my feelings loose. Beside me the river churned and bubbled so much louder than I ever remember. It was taunting me, those waters that were once under her command. Sorbet was water; water was Sorbet.

I heard a weird buzzing noise next to my ear and instantly swatted at it. A few seconds later something sharp sunk into the side of my neck. My hand instantly reached up and pulled away a fluttering black and yellow, brownish creature; hornet.

I leaped to my feet only to get stung on the back of my arm and behind my knees.

"Dammit!" I yelled swatting them away. My neck had already begun to swell. I already had three stings and I got two more within seconds. I looked up and saw a whole freaking nest just above my head. I gulped and without thinking kicked the scrawny tree so hard the nest exploded at my feet. The next thing I knew I was getting stung; A LOT! And the only noise I could hear was the buzzing of those winged demons.

I held my breath and plunged into the surprisingly warm waters of the river. The instant my head was buried within the water the buzzing noise was downed out with the sound of constant running water. I swam downstream not thinking. I could feel parts of my face swell up and I knew I must look hideous. But I knew I couldn't give up on Sorbet no matter how much it may seem like she was gone.

I resurfaced when I could hold my breath no longer. I scrambled onto they dry soil and wrung some water out of my clothes. I was still dripping wet but I continued along anyway. I was lost now; this part of the forest was completely unfamiliar.

I didn't want to think Sorbet was dead but the other possibilities that could have happened to her weren't that nice either. She could have been lost out here (like me), she could have been kidnapped and is being used at her expense (I don't even want to think about that). You know what? I just decided I'd rather not think about it at all.

I walked with my head down hoping something would eat me. Unfortunately nothing ate me but I tripped over a tree root and ended up with a face full of mud. Great, so now I was dripping wet had beestings the size of baseballs growing all over me and was covered with mud! I flicked the mud away from my eyes and listened.

I heard a noise that made my heart almost stop all together. It was a scream, a girl's scream. Sorbet!

I ran, and I mean I ran as if it would be the last thing I did. Sorbet was in trouble and she wasn't dead; well at least not for now.

"Sorbet!" I screamed so hard my voice cracked. I heard the next scream sounded stronger, more distinct; I was getting closer. My heart was pounding out of my chest; I could feel my adrenaline pumping.

I came into a clearing and the first thing I noticed was Sorbet; on the ground crying.

Next thing I noticed was pirate otters surrounding her. And they were-

They were touching Sorbet a little bit more than I'd like them to.

"Your awful pretty," One crooned. Some kicked her, hard and I felt my hands clamp up into fists. The next thing I knew was that those pirates were gonna freaking die! They made my girl cry and they were gonna pay for that if it was the last thing I did!

I ran right between those pirates and began to throw punches at the nearest one. He yelped in surprise.

"Pico?" Sorbet asked confused; I understood her confusion, I probably unrecognizable with the water, bees and mud that I had encountered.

I threw her a sideways glance, I couldn't believe these punks had the nerve to touch my girl! She wiped away the tears from her eyes and gave me such a look it made me melt inside; what was it, hopeful.

I closed my eyes and focused on the biggest fire spell I had ever cast, the pirates were hitting me but I didn't care; when I was mad I could take anything.

When I opened my eyes I let loose a huge wall of flames that caused me break a sweat with the heat they released. I pushed the wall of fire away from me and into the pirates. The pirates tried running but the fire chased them snarling at them and grabbing onto their clothes. The fire caught onto them as though they were nothing more than dry wood, not warm blooded living flesh. When they got burned to nothing more than ashes I fell to the ground. I had never killed anyone before… Yes I'd killed animals before but people were different.

Their ashes littered the ground and as the wind picked up bits of their ashes pick up creating a cloud of dust. I realized I was crying like a huge wuss but I didn't care. I was inhaling the ashes of people I'd murdered and Sorbet was somewhere around here. My body felt as though it were turning against me.

My legs were weak and I felt the full affect of the beestings I had received earlier. I could've passed out cold right now but for sorbet's sake I didn't; that spell had drained nearly everything out of me. The forest had caught fire and it flickered on the once green leaves.

I felt a hand get placed on my shoulder and I jumped. It was Sorbet, she had tears cutting through the thick grim of ash on her face. Sorbet took her two fingers and wiped away my tears.

"It's okay Pico," She murmured hugging me tight inside her arms. I hugged her back but I felt so terrible.

"I killed all those people…" I whispered.

"I know and its okay, they deserved to die." Sorbet kissed me lightly on the cheek and some of her hot tears landed on me, "You're my savior."

I said nothing but that last thing she said made me feel… I don't know, good about myself? It made feel better about doing such a terrible thing.

"We need to head back," Sorbet said standing up and trying to pull me to my feet. She had mud on her lips where she had kissed me. I was just so glad she wasn't dead.

Reviews would be wonderful!
