Sweet as Sugar, Crazy as Hell

Chapter 20: Charming, loving, or sweet?

"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!" Xander repeated over and over again while trying to keep up with me.

I giggled, "Xander? Why so scared?"

"Are you crazy?! There are carnivores chasing us right n-" a loud roar of the bear cut him off.

"Well, we don't have to die if we just kill them. But nah, I was the one who raised most of them." I said.

"Ow!" Xander exclaimed, making me halt and turn around.

A wolf was biting his hand, blood dripping from it's mouth.

Oh dear.

Without thinking, I grabbed the wolf's jaw and took his bite off Xander.

"Go, run!" I exclaimed, trying to keep the wolf's mouth closed.

"But-"

"The exit is a few feet away from us... ow! Hurry the hell up, or this little puppy is gonna kill both of us!" I yelled at him.

He froze and turned his heel to run.

"Okay. Now that that nuisance is gone, I can take care of you." I said with a giggle.

The wolf growled at me so I just kicked his stomach and was about to run when the wolf bit my ankle.

I screamed in pain, "St-stop!"

"Dayana!" Xander's voice yelled from behind.

"Go! I can take care of myse- ah!" I yelled.

I closed my eyes, about to faint, when I heard a whimper of the wolf and the fangs detach from my skin.

"Are you okay?" Xander asked, concerned.

Before I could answer, a bear roared.

Xander cursed- which was surprising- under his breath and carried me bridal style.

I pouted, "I can walk, y'know?"

He chuckled, "With that ankle? I don't think so."

I huffed and let him carry me as we approach the exit.

"Dayana!" A voice immediately chirped up when we exited.

"Hi Ollie." I greeted with a toothy grin.

"What happened to you? Are you okay? Why are you bleeding-" he was cut off when I slapped his forehead.

"Do you know I only have two ears that listen to one thing and one mouth to answer two questions?!" I exclaimed.

He smiled sheepishly and took me in his arms.

"Da-da! Ollie taking meh!" I said like a kid as I wriggled in Oliver's grip.

Xander looked at me in amusement and laughed at what I said.

Oliver accidentally touched my ankle which caused me to hiss in pain.

"Sorry! A-are you okay?" Oliver asked, eyes widening.

I giggled, but hissed in pain after, "I hate you Ollie!"

A few heads turned our way 'cause of my scream but I ignored them.

"L-let me down Oliver!" I yelled.

"But you're hurt." He said softly.

I glared at him, "I know that. Now put me down."

He hesitated before letting me stand on my feet.

I hissed in pain as my foot stepped on the ground.
