A True Friend

Chapter 6

Arrow's P.O.V
  I watched over my human's shoulder as she looked at some words in a small book. After a short time of her silently staring at stuff, she flipped to a blank page, now with a determined look on her face, and let her pencil slide across the page.

  I was amazed. I watched as lines were created and shadows were made. In what felt like no time at all, there was me. In the middle of the page. Smiling at whoever would pick it up and turn to this page.

  As Andriette started another, but smaller, drawing in the corner of the page, I decided that I wanted to try.

  I walked around the cave with a limp until I found a loose crystal, one that was glowing green, and gripped it in my teeth. With a few tugs, the long, thin, crystal was in my mouth and I was ready to draw.

  I angeled my head down so one end was dragging on the ground. I walked around the cave, dragging the crystal on the ground. Occasionally, I looked up at my human to make sure I was getting the lines right. 

  I used my tail to erase some things and add… shading? Here and there.

  When I was done, I sat down and admired my work. It wasn't as good as Andriette's drawing, but I was happy with it.

  I watched as my human slowly stood up and walked towards my art. Her foot stepped on one of the lines and I growled. She looked at me before looking down to see where her foot was placed.

  Immediately, she took it off and said, "Sorry." She started walking in my drawing, well, twirling was more accurate. Eventually, she came up in front of me, back turned.

  I let out a breath that ruffled her hair a little bit. Slowly, she turned around and looked me in the eye. She reached her hand out, in front of my nose.

  I understood what she was doing. When I was shot down, I had no choice but to trust her. Now, I could just fly out and be on my way. Or, I could choose to trust her and stay by her side.

  Andriette turned her head away, facing the ground, and squeezed her eyes tightly shut once again.

  How could I ever think about leaving her?

  I closed my eyes and pressed my nose against her hand, feeling her warmth spreading through my scales.

  We opened our eyes nearly at the exact same time and shared a look. I'm not exactly sure what she saw in my eyes, but in her, I saw someone who cared about me, someone who trusted me, and someone who would always be by my side.

  She hugged my neck and I tucked my head in, returning the hug.

  "Thank you." She said.

  We stayed hugging for a little while, and I noticed her breathing even out and her grip loosened a little.

  Realising that she had fallen asleep, I grabbed onto the back of her strange clothes and brought her over to the little nest she made.

  I carefully put her down right in the middle of it and curled around her.

  This is my human, I thought. And as long as I'm alive, nothing is going to happen to her.

Yup, super short. I hope you enjoyed this little bit from Arrow's point of view. Yes, I'm well aware that I kinda copied a bit from the first movie, I swear it was unintentional. I didn't realize what I did until it was halfway written, and by then, I didn't want to change it. Bye bye! Origin out!
