Fire On Fire

I ran towards the beast and lifted up the dagger high above my head and threw it. The dagger went flying in the opposite direction.

I don't know what I was expecting, a movie scene ?

Where I'd suddenly gain some skill?

It growled louder and I took a step back just as a pair of strong arms wrapped around me from behind and pulled me toward a muscular chest.

"STAY BACK !" he yelled.

He pulled me back further into his chest. 'Well if it means I get to be pressed up against YOU I don't mind'

I thought to myself. Wow, even when facing death I'm a pervert.

I looked up at him.

He bristled, grabbed my chin, and for a second I thought he was going to kiss me...

He jerked my face toward the beast.

It looked different.

It now stood towering over us at around 7 ft.

I gulped.

Its sharp jagged teeth were bared, its long nails curled. Its eyes were now completely blacked out.

Thick saliva dripped down to it's jaw that was now covered in scales, down to it's legs and TAIL?! What's this? The real life transformer? How'd he change so fast?

My heart hammered in my chest.

I looked toward stalker dude.

He was focused, his eyes calculating.

Then he grabbed my waist and swung me over his shoulder.

LIKE I WAS A SACK OF POTATOES.

He started running in the other direction.

Okay if HE'S running then this must be bad.

His long legs sprinted over the trees that were fallen over, ditches and logs. He ran with impeccable speed, swiftly dodging trees and thorn bushes.

Behind us, the creature let out a shrill screech. It sounded pissed.

More pissed than before. I hit stalker dude's back.

"PUT ME DOWN!"

"Can't do that cupcake" what, was he giving me pet names now?!

"That thing's fast, in case you haven't noticed, and those stubby legs of yours are going to get you nowhere"

Okay that's rude.

"Well they helped me just fine earlier" I retorted.

"Then that was before you pissed it off" He picked up the speed, jumped and dodged.

I kept bouncing. This is fucking uncomfortable. NOT EVEN WEARING A BRA. Don't judge me, anyone who sleeps with a bra on is a spawn of Satan I tell you.

Finally the growling stopped and Stalker dude slowed down.

I tried to twist myself to see where we were heading. Feel like Fiona from the first Shrek movie.

I caught a glimpse of a cabin. Wait no swamp?

Great.

He's taking me to his lair.

I'm probably dinner.

Out of the frying pan and into the fucking fire. The dark part of my mind chipped in

'Well you wouldn't mind that would you Ava, if you were HIS dinner?'

Oh god help me.

He kicked the door open and kicked it shut behind him. His boots were heavy on the wooden floor as he walked in.

The cabin was dark but my eyes were already adjusted. There was a seating area, a bed in the corner and what looked like a kitchen.

Suddenly, I remembered he was still carrying me.

"You can put me down now" I growled.

He chuckled and put me back on my 'Stubby legs' tch.
