Earnest opened his eyes slowly. He tried to move his arms but he couldn't moove then more than two inches. "What the?!"
Nina and Kloe look at him and take out their make up. "Hmm... so what should we put on first?" Kloe asked.
"How about eye shadow?" Nina pulled out blue eye shadow. "I told you I'd get you back." She laughs evilly.
Earnest moved fustated while trying to escape. They got closer with the make up he put his left and right foot on both of their stomachs. "Haha!" He pushed them back. He started to try and unknot the rope they had tied his hands with behind the tree.
Nina and Kloe got up. "Oh now you're gonna get it!" Nina said as they both ran toward Earnest.
Earnests eyes widened as he saw them running toward him. He got the first part of the knot undone it would only be a matter of seconds before he got the last knote out and he was free to move. Nina and Kloe reached and pushed his shoulders against the tree. They knelt down next to him and Nina opened the blue eye shadow.
Earnest un-knotted the last knot and pulled his hands out and put them on the their sides pushing them onto their butts. "Hmmph, and you thought you could get me? Hahaha!" He picked up his sword and put it back into it's sheath on his back. "Well I think it is about time we get going, I wanna be there by morning and who knows if you stagger off in these woods who knows what might get you." He starts walking towards the town.
Nina whispers to Kloe. "Oh we'll get him back when he is least expecting it." Faint laughter is heard behind Earnest.
Earnest thinks to himself. "Planning again I see, well I'll make sure to be extra cautious from now on with them two, I'm going to get separate rooms at the Inns from now on." He smiled. "Come on hurry it up, I think I hear some hungry wolves in the bushes behind you." Earnest yelled.
"Ahh...!!" Nina and Kloe gathered their stuff quickly and ran up next to him. "Why do you have to be so mean?" Nina said with a sad face on.
"Well it's because I'm trying to protect you two that's all and the fact that I said I would help you includes protecting you until we reach the end of your quests." Earnest smiled and kept walking.
"Oh I see, well then still be nicer to us or we will just simply have to find someone else." Nina said.
"Yeah what she said." Kloe said.
"Well if you don't want me around I can just leave now and spare you the trouble of having to get rid of me later. I'm sure as we spend more time together I'll lighten up a bit." Earnest kicked a stone and looked up at the sky through the tree leaves.
"Hopefully because I can't go on for weeks with you treating me like this." Nina said.
"Me either." Kloe said.
"Well I guess we will just have to give it a little time to see how things work out between us." Earnest said as he brought his head back down smiling.
"So Earnest, how is your love life?" Kloe asked.
"Yes how is it? Huh? Huh?" Nina asked aggressively in a sarcastic way.
"Wha!?!" Earnests eyes got big.
"Come one tell us.... pleeeeaase?" Kloe asked.
"Oh god..." Nina said as she sighed and walked in front of them.
"Eh...." Earnest started to sweat. "Umm... no thats quite ok."
"Ahh!" A loud thud is heard.
"Umm... where is Nina?" Kloe asked.
"I'm down here you idiots! Oww.." Nina sobs a bit.
"What happened, are you ok?" Kloe said as Earnest chopped off a long branch from one of the tree's. He slid it down the side of the hole.
"Grab it and hold on, I'll pull you up." Earnest held onto the branch with a tight grip. Nina grasped the branch and held on as tight as she could as Earnest pulled her up to safety.
"There we go, now are you ok?" Earnest said.
Nina held her right ankle, a tear rolled down her cheek. "My ankle, my ankle hurts a lot." She sobs some more.
"Well lets take a look at it." Earnest said as Kloe looked over his shoulder biting her nails. He grabbed her leg and extended it and then pushed lightly on her ankle. "Does that hurt?"
"Yes." Nina said as more tears flowed down her cheeks.
Earnest took off his sword and fastened it onto his waste. "Get on my back I'll carry you until we reach town, there we will get a doctor to look at your ankle." He knelt down so she could climb on.
Nina climbed onto his back. "Thank you..." She continued to sob until she cried herself to sleep on his back.
"You're welcome." Earnest said softly.
"Aww... isn't this romantic?" Kloe said in a annoyance.
"Lets just get to town soon so we can get her ankle looked at, there you can make fun of this situation." Earnest said while looking over at her drooling on his shoulder.
To Be Continued....
