Airi screamed as she ran down the dirt path away from Death Cave, she looked back behind her and sure enough the black snake from the cave was still right behind her giving chase, Airi snapped her head forward this was crazy, in Elder Tales the monsters wouldn't fallow you out of their respective dungeon yet, the same black snake she had encountered in Death Cave was currently still chasing her . "Why the hell is it still after me!?" she heard the snake hiss loudly behind her she screamed and she kicked it into another gear "Go away! Go away! Go away!" she shouted and pleaded but, she knew that pleading wasn't going to stop the huge snake from catching her and possible eating her. "I wish I was back home!" she shouted which was fallowed by a hiss from the huge snake.
Airi continued to run as fast as she could and as long as her legs would allow her, she started to pant heavily, and sweat dripped from her face, never in her life had she had to run so much, but her life was at stake she needed to keep going. In despiration Airi called out, "Is anyone there!" she heard no response, again she called out "Someone help me! I'm being chased by a monster!" she heard a hiss come from the snake she let out a scared cry. Once more she called out, "Someone! Anyone! I don't want to die!" as Airi finsihed her words she heard finally, a response "Don't worry! I'm coming!" came a male voice Airi smiled, finally someone had heard her,she was going to be saved. After she heard the response Airi caught a glimpse of a male figure running towards her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the young man ran up the path after hearing what he felt was a scream he heard someone call out, "Is anyone there!?" he heard, he raised an eyebrow "A girl?" a girl was in troubled, he then heard the same voice call out a second time, "Someone help me! I'm being chased by a monster!" then fallowing that he heard what sounded like a hiss. The young man gritted his teeth, he picked up his pace "Please, let me make it in time!" just then he heard the same voice call out a third time, "Someone! Anyone! I don't want to die!" the young man could sense the fear in the girls voice, "Don't worry! I'm coming!" he shouted back. As the young man came up a hill in the path he saw a glimmer of red enter his vision, then he saw the figure of a person running his way a face riddled with fear, "Wait, a guy?" the young man had a confused look on his face, he had clearly heard a girl screaming yet he was seeing a man, wearing red armor with a gold trim, with long mess blonde hair, tears leaking from his blue eyes.
The blonde smiled upon seeing the young man, he raised his arm and waved "Hey! Help me please!" the young man clicked his tounge, gender didn't matter, someone in front of him was in danger, he had no choice but to help. "Don't worry! I'll save you!" the fear on the blondes face seemed to subside a bit, the young man was dead set on saving the blonde running towards him, but then he heard a hiss come from behind the blonde, he looked and his eyes went wide as he saw a huge black snake right behind the blonde. Now his face contorted in fear, "That's what chasing him!?" he cried once more he heard the huge snake hiss, fear shot throught him, and unconciously he did a quick about face and started running away back the way he came. "Hey! Wait come back! Don't leave me to the mercy of this thing!" the blonde called out but, fear had taken hold of the young man and he wasn't listening at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airi couldn't belive it when she finally heard a response come back, hope returned to her heart "I'm going to be saved!" she smiled that's when she saw a figure come into view, it was a guy, he had spikey dark brown hair that went in several directions, bobbing up and down in the back of his head was a ponytail. He was wearing what looked like to be a blue longtailed coat with a white cotton shirt underneath, he had on a pair of black leather pants and brown boots, Airi also noticed the large black belt starpped to his front and she could tell is was what was keeping the sword he had strapped to his back. Airi smiled upon seeing the guy running towards her, she raised her arm and waved at him "Hey! Help me please!" she called, the guy responded "Don't worry! I'll save you!" Airi smiled a bit brighter hearing the guys words.
But then she heard a hiss behind her, she didn't look back but she saw the guy running towards her look behind her, Airi felt a sense of dred fall upon her "No, no, please don't do what I think your going to do!" as Airi feared, the guys face showed fear, he had seen what was chasing her, Airi saw the guy quickly turn around and start running back the way he had came, "God damnit!" she shouted as the guy ran away from her, "Hey! Wait come back! Don't leave me to the mercy of this thing!" she called the guy didn't react he just kept on running. Airi clicked her tounge in annoyance, "You son of a bitch!" she shouted, Airi felt like a complete idiot, she had thought that the guy running towards her was going to save her but there he was, running away like a scared rabbit. She heard the snake hiss behind her, "If I catch you I'm going to kill you!" she shouted hoping the coward would hear her.
Airi groaned, if she wasn't going to be saved she had to get away on her own, a lightbulb went off in her head, she quickly reached for her pack, "Come on, come on" she rummaged through her pack a smirk appeared in the corner of her mouth. "There it is!" she pulled her hand out her pack and in her hand was a potion vial with a green liquid in it, she uncorked the vial and put it to her lips she gulped the potion down quickly. She tossed the empty vial away, "Come on work!" she begged then, just like with the Weightless Potion she had drank before she felt a tingling sensation go through her, she smirked as she felt he speed increase. "Thank god for Max Speed!" she cheered as she started to run even faster, as Airi ran she soon saw the guy she had thought was going to save her come into view, she clicked her tounge. "Hey you jackass!" she saw the guy look at her with a look of surprise "Thanks alot for saving me back there you prick!" she shouted. Then at that moment, all at once Airi felt suddenly heavy, her eyes went wide, "Oh shit!" all the weight of the armor and sword she had was coming back, that only meant one thing, "The Weightless Potion wore off!" with that outburst the heaviness of both the armor and sword caused Airi to lean forward and start falling.
Stolen novel; please report.
And with the effect of her going so fast while falling, she flew down the dirt path, the guy running in front of her cried out as she collided with him, the two of them started to tumble down the path together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young man panted as he ran down the dirt path, then sudden realization came to his mind, "I just left that guy to die!" he looked back hoping to see the blonde but in his panicked state he'd ran further ahead then he thought. The young man clicked his tounge in anger, he was ashamed of himself, someone had called out to him for help, he promised he'd help, but here he was running away like a coward just because the monster chasing the blonde was really menacing. The young man wanted to turn back around, he wanted to go back and help the blonde guy, but his body wasn't with his mind and didn't heed him one bit. "Why did I do something like that!" the young man guilted himself, he'd left someone to die, "I'm nothing but scum" his face grew dark, but then his ears were filled with the sound of someone yelling.
"Hey you jackass!" the young man recognized the voice immediatley, it was the blonde guy without a doubt, he looked and sure enough he saw the blonde haired guy clad in red armor running towards him at an almost godlike speed. At first he was surprised but, he was also relieved to see the blonde guy was still alive, that made the guilt he felt vanish but it returned when the blonde guy shouted, "Thanks alot for saving me back there you prick!" the young man sighed. He wasn't going to be forgiven that easily but then he saw the blonde guys eyes go wide in surprise, "What's the matter with him?" that's when he saw a look of realization on the blonde guys face. He saw the blonde guy start to lean forward, he then heard him shout "The Weightless Potion wore off!" the young man gasped in surprise.
All at once, he saw the blonde guy fall forward, combined with the speed at which he was running made him fly right down to the young man, with no time to react the young man could do nothing but allow the blonde to plow right into him. He immediatley felt the weight of the blonde armor against him, and the two of them started tumbling down the dirt path together, they tumbled for what seemed like hours, the snake was still in pursuit, they didn't come to a stop until the came to a huge drop in the path. When they reached it the weight of the blondes armor caused them to be pinned to the ground, they heard the massive snake hiss as it came towards them, the young man started to trash about trying to wedge himself free from out under the blondes heavy body. But it was difficult with one arm as his other was pinned under the blonde body which he couldn't wrench free with all his might.
The young man stared directly at the huge snake coming their way, "We're going to die!" he cried he than began to cry and beg and pray, here he was, stuck underneath another man, not able to move or run away, about to become lunch for a giant snake. In between his crying he heard the blonde shout, "Would you stop crying like a girl!" the young mans eyes snapped to the blonde who was loking at him with a pissed and annoyed look on his face. "Look, we can make it out of here but, your going to have to listen to my exact instructions!" the young man didn't respond, but when he heard the snake hiss again and saw it was mere feet from reaching them he nodded vigarously. The blonde smirked, "Alright, here's the plan" the young man listened closley.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Airi and the coward rolled down the dirt path together, Airi saw a big drop in the path coming up fast, "Oh shit!" she cursed the two of them fell fast to the ground, the coward was pinned under Airi and was trying to free himself. He had become frantic, "Damn, I can't move, the Weightless Potion stopped working" she clicked her tounge she heard the snake hiss which signaled to her that the snake was closing in on them. "Damn, come on think" Airi had a difficult time thinking with the snake hissing and the coward pinned under her shouting and yelling and crying like a madman, she reach her limit when she heard him cry out "We're going to die!" he then began to babble to himself. Annoyed, Airi shouted "Would you stop crying like a girl!" the young mans brown eyes snapped to her, at that moment she saw that one of the cowards arms was free, an idea formed in her head.
"Look, we can make it out of here but, your going to have to listen to my exact instructions!" the coward didn't answer at first, but when he heard the snake hiss and looked over and looked right back he nodded vigorously. Airi smirked, "Alright, here's the plan!" the coward listened intently, "With your free arm, I want you to reach into my pack" the coward nodded, he quickly reached his free arm to Airi's pack, "Good, next pull out the vial with the yellow potion in it" the coward nodded, he rummaged around Airi's pack. Under preassure the first few times the coward pulled out the wrong vial, but he grinned like an idiot when he finally pulled the vial with the yellow potion inside it. Airi gave a grin right back, "Good, now, I want you to hold it up to my mouth" the cowards nodded and slowly the potion vial was lifted to her mouth, Airi smirked she gripped the cork tightly with her teeth and she pulled it out spitting the cork out quickly, she opened her mouth and allowed the potion to flow into her mouth.
When it was all gone Airi swallowed, once more the nasty taste lingered, but soon she felt the tingling sensation again, she smiled and laughed when she felt the heaviness of the armor and sword vanish, the coward seemed to be surprised by all this. When Airi felt no weight she hopped off the coward and he jumped up immediatley after, "Thanks" Airi gave a smile the coward chuckled, "No problem" they both jumped when the heard the snake hiss. "I think we should get out of here" Airi proposed the coward agreed and Airi was set to run but, at that moment she felt the Max Speed potion ware off, she cursed under her breath. The snake hissed again, and the Airi bolted and the coward fallowed suit. [Ch.4 Part 1 END]
