Pushing some of her energy into the ground and using it to pull out some ground water to clean him up a bit, seemed like the least she could do for him before she left. Since he never made a peep the whole time, she left some water in a bamboo tube and sealed it. He deserved to have something to drink when he got up for, he's 'Good Job'.
Walking on and not really having a destination but towards the Sea. Scarlet just started walking along and taking in the sights. There are always new things in new areas, just like that flower that surrounded Nick back there.
Exploring the area and studying things while on the move, because she was still too close to that Damned Village she wanted to move quickly. Scarlet found herself making her way to a river, deciding that she thought it would not be a bad idea to take a river cruise and see where it would lead.
Scarlet started to make a simple yet cool raft for her Little Fuzzballs first ride and be a comfortable ride down the river.
The raft was finally complete, and they were just setting sail. When suddenly there was a loud ruckus from the opposite side of the bank. It sounded like fighting. and as much as Scarlet enjoyed a good rumble, she couldn't think like that anymore since she was a new mother. So, she was left trying to hurry along as fast as she could to get out of there. She used her Energy to push them along quickly in the water but trying to keep it quiet at the same time.
Needing to get gone they were gone there when the group came bursting through the tree line about Fifteen yards behind the raft. Scarlet saw that it was the Cobra Alex, and he was fighting 3 Wolfs. As she was sailing away, it was unknown how, but they made eye contact instantly and just held the other's gaze.
When he tried to get to her, she moved the raft faster. Forgetting that he was in a fight, he tried to get into the water and follow. Thankfully the wolves stopped him, and they continued their battle.
Scarlet didn't know what to do at this point and just kept sailing, kicking herself that she just got caught and now she needs to get out of the river. After all that time planning the rest of her day now, it was uprooted because of that Cobra.
As she was just floating along, she decided to ask Riptide if the river split up ahead, but he decided not to answer. Big Surprise there 'since I don't travel on water that often, he can get upset about it from time to time.' She decided to reach in and felt the water for herself. It did eventually split but it wouldn't be for a while. In just a couple of miles she could take a break for lunch and feed her baby.
About to pull her hand out of the water, she paused and felt that something was coming fast towards her. Getting to the side of the river Scarlet grabbed the Little Fuzzball and jumped destroying the raft in the process. Just as she stepped onto land it seemed like something happened and she got to the forest line as fast as he could. Within seconds she felt who it was and Thank the Elements that she got off the raft and took the extra percussions to destroy it because it was that Cobra Alex again!
The last thing that she needed was yet another thorn in her side. Scarlet thought to herself "I don't want or need a male and they need to understand that. Kitty understands this and doesn't push me, he just helps where he can, and that is what makes him so dangerous to me, he is too comfortable his presence and his fur."
"I can't trust anyone they always try to kill me eventually. I can't trust anyone or anything. I will never let them hurt my baby or me and that's that." As Scarlet was still sitting in her hiding spot thinking about things, she failed to notice that Alex didn't go by, or chase the broken raft. He had stopped and was searching the area for her.
When he was about to give up and move on, he heard a little whimpering sound that came from the tree line. It was the Little Fuzzball, and he just got them caught. Alex made his way towards them and at this point there was no hiding. Scarlet just stared at her Little Trader and noticed that when he looked at her.
She just couldn't find it in herself to be mad at him anymore. He melted her heart and while she was paying attention to her Little Man she forgot about Alex. Scarlet heard a noise and turned her head towards the noise and came face to face with Pale Cream Color Eyes.
Out of reflex Scarlet Punched him in the face and moved back into a defensive position. This shocked both of us and then relaxed a little after a minute.
Looking at each other Scarlet squared her shoulders and said, "What do you want?" in an unfriendly tone.
He looked calm rubbing his cheek that already had a few marks on it from the fight earlier and the one that she did that was now forming. He said, "I want to be your Male and for you to be my Female."
Looking at him and seeing the Blue Energy around him shine brightly. It was so beautiful that all she could do was stare at him dumbfounded for a minute. The Fuzzball made another noise and brought her back to reality. Shaking her head, she said "I already told you that I don't want to have a Male and don't need One. So just go away and go find someone else." Turning on her heal and she walked away, not making it far when Alex caught up to her in Two of his normal steps.
He tried to convince her to be with him for about 20 minutes and it was warning her patients. She just wanted to be left alone since it was safer that way. But when Little Fuzzball was starting to make more noises, she knew that he was hungry and started to make her way to some water. When she found a nice little spot for a picnic with her baby, she just needed to get rid of this thing that had followed her here.
When Scarlet used her energy to bring the food to her Rocky the Earth Spirit decided on his own to bring enough for not only Her and Fuzzball, but 2 fully grown Males. Being mad about it, but just wanting to get stuff made so she could go. Having a Pup now Scarlet couldn't use other methods of movement and need to be more careful. "Making all this food should give me enough time to come up with an escape plan." She thought to herself.
As she was cooking Alex kept talking and trying to convince her to be his Mate and not taking 'No' for an answer. When her little Feelers out looking for anything else around, when Alex was Mid Sentience when suddenly, he stopped talking and looked behind her. Slowly getting up and walking in that direction when she heard it. There was something in the bushes.
