Kimchi — Roleplayer Guild

Wildly wriggling and squirming, it seemed like the more effort she put into freeing herself, the tighter the grip of the hands had on her. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she continued to thrash like an animal being brought to slaughter. Though she couldn't see a thing, her imagination came up with the most horrid of scenes to scare her even more. Eventually it felt as if the hold the forest had on her was giving way and she began to shake with even more determination. By the time the hands finally let go, she was bawling and out of breath. Then there was a groan.

She lay as still as she could, hiccupping from how terrified she had been and her inhales and exhales were extremely jagged as she fought to regain a balanced breathing from how hard she had cried. Jasper seriously thought she was going to die and get dragged away into the dark unknown of the ancient forest. Beneath her, she could feel the quickened rising and falling of someones chest and stomach.

“I know it's scary out here Jasper, but you have to stay calm. Next time it may not just be vines that catch you. And I may not be fast enough to follow you. I can only help so many people at once here.”

Recognizing the voice almost straight away, she didn't have the correct state of mind to feel embarrassed. Instead, she turned over on top of him and wrapped the framed face man in a thankful embrace. Burying her face into his chest, she unknowingly used his shirt to wipe the remaining tears on her face. He then scooped her up with much haste and got her back up on two feet before standing up and approaching the oncoming group.

Embarrassment truly hit her when their flashlights shone upon the many tangles of vines and webs that she had rammed into all on her own. It made her feel really dumb and she got everyone all worried for no good reason.

“I don’t suppose you’ll know a path around all of this, Song? Could we possibly ask the trees for help? Not that they’d be very willing after…”

Lesley complied with the suggested task and went up to the tree that had been following them for the past half an hour and asked. The tree looked quite unresponsive so Lesley hurried back to the group only to snatch Leila as a sacrifice?

“Everyone, I think we’re better off navigating through the blocked paths where the treeants can’t follow us. Let’s scout around for less dangerous routes, shall we? And for carrot’s sake, don’t burn anything down!”

Since the tree didn't look like it would give in anytime soon and they soon found out that it didn't even have a mouth, Lesley's plan was bound to fail and the group trekked on into the heavily cluttered path. This time she stuck close to Inadi, now feeling a little more attached to him since he had saved her earlier. Every little vine and twig that touched her made her twitch as she'd check her arms and legs where it had made contact just to make sure she was alright.
