"Oh fuck--"
Well... it's not everyday you see a half decent girl struggling to walk, to be quite fair; I'm very thankful for my new mask at the moment. Hang on a minute... Why does this girl look so much like that siren I saw...? I chuckled awkwardly under my breath, turned around, and walked away stiffly, not quite sure on what I should do.
I heard a confused cry come from the blonde behind me so I turned around, averting my eyes upwards so that she could keep some dignity.
"Weov! dup'v miewi qmieti!" I looked at the short girl and sighed, I had no idea what she said but I guess she won't be able to understand me either so, I gestured my head a little, suggesting that she follow me. As I began to walk away I started to hear the deafening beat of drums.

'Shit- What is he doing here already?'

The girl was walking slowly behind me, obviously struggling, so I bounced impatiently, my thoughts in battle, I gave up in the end, spinning around and grabbing her round the waist. Now cradling her in my arms, I ran back to my house.
The girl was obviously confused as I threw a spare skirt at her and a proper shirt, dropping her gently on my bed, I turned around as she picked up on what I wanted her to do, slowly pulling the skirt on and removing the seaweed from her chest, the calling of a man could be heard and the drumming got louder, I groaned and ran out the room, grabbing my bow and strapping the quiver full of the strengthened arrows to my waist, pacing around trying to find my potions to stop my reaction to the sunlight. I jogged outside as the shouting ceased and the drumbeat fell to a silence.

'The heck is he up to at this time, he was supposed to arrive at 9 tonight for fuck sake not 6 hours earlier.'

"Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Unless you have been sent here in business with Nainx." A horrid laughter erupted from the old man's throat,
"You think you can speak to me like that little girl?" I tutted,

'Little girl. Does this shithead know who he is speaking to?'

He walked up to me and held my chin, he leaned down to my ear and was about to say something when a clapping stopped him,
"Wowww. You just lost your job with my guards, Biltan. How disgusting it is that you would speak to my friend like that." The boy strided over to us and I slapped the old man's hand away sinking into Nainx's side as he slid his arm around my waist, "Now fuck off." Biltan sank away, bowing his head in respect as he boarded the large ship once more, a skeletal soldier quickly taking his place as we walked to our hidden spot in the woods.

Three hours later me and Nainx were still hiding away in the lush cave, his head in my lap as I combed my hand through the small curls in his hair, it was only when the commotion started that I remembered the girl I had left in my house,

'Agh shit.'

I shook Nai a little to wake him up from his nap,
"Hmm? What's wrong amare?" I stood quickly as he arose from my lap, grabbing his hand. I ran back to Nai's armada, him stumbling along behind me. As we approached the boats the shouting grew louder and I saw the small blonde tied in a rope with multiple men whipping her,
"OI! what the fuck are you doing?" The scared look on the men's face drew the dragon out of me more but it made me aware of Nainx's hand on my shoulder, relaxing my tensed muscles slightly,
"We're so sorry ma'am! We thought she was an intruder!" My mouth gaped a little and I snapped,
"So you tie her up and whip her? That is just the plain definition of monster! So I'll say this once, and once only. Untie her before I bring the whole of the End down upon you." They got to it immediately but ceased their work almost just as quickly,
"Whoa whoa whoa, stop lads, Forest what the hell? Who even is she? She looks like a Siren, we should just kill her now, don't spare her." I couldn't say a thing so I just glared at him, looking down on the girl, her face full of despair as she just sat and accepted her death, I couldn't bear it.
"Shut the fuck up Nainx." I shoved past him and crouched down to the siren's level, pulling one of my arrows out from the quiver hidden beneath my cloak, cutting the rope and helping the blonde stand.
"Forest c'mon, she'll just kill you eventually, why bother with her. Seriously amare, don't be dumb." I turned so quickly, pulling my bow off my back and pressing the arrow against his chest at full draw,
"You know what. I really couldn't give a shit. So I'm going to have to ask you to get the fuck off my territory."

F/N- wellllll, I'm getting better.
I wrote a majority of this in one and I'm pretty happy with it! I hope you'll enjoy it! I don't actually have much to say 😂

S/N- Hey Y'all! I absolutely loved this chapter and I hope you did too. It was fun watching this drama unfold from the mind of Forest. I think that giving Forest love worked really well last time (even if it was just in your minds), so let's give them some more! ❤️
