Crying Ravine

maybe change later

   "h.... hey... HEY!" A voice muttered, slowly getting louder before deciding to resort to yelling.

"CAW!" They scrum out , instantly bouncing up and hitting the creature in the face.

"FACK! DON'T BE SO DAMN ROUGH!" The creature yelped in pain , sending their head back.

"mmmnm... sorry- wait what the hells' happening?" The head-butter muttered, half asleep.

"Listen, we can talk soon, pretty sure we're being hunted." The creature whispered, getting up and dusting off, reaching an inviting hand to the shorter one.

   The creature looked quite rugged, as if they'd rolled around in mud. Their mullet (the gay kind of mullet, not a ugly goofy ass one) went down to their shoulders and nearly covered their faint blue eye and their heavy eye bag . The other eye was patched over crudely, blood dripping from underneath the gauze. The whole entire left side of their face was covered in bloody wrapping. The cloak covering them was a teal-ish green , except it was worn and had tears everywhere. Their hooves just peaked out from the thick blanket drenching them.

"Hell you mean 'hunted'? Like an animal?" The other gasped back.

   The other wore a bright yellow smiley mask cracked horizontal in the middle, drenched in blood. Their curly hair, colors of a vivid sunset gradient, covered only a little bit of the mask , and barely any of their mid-tone gray horns. They wore a once white lab coat, now mixtures of bloody red and dirt brown, with a black button-up underneath all the way to their kneecaps. One of their sleeves was rolled up to their elbow ,  yet none of their arm could be seen thanks to their skin-gripping latex gloves. Matching thick electrical boots did the same with their legs.

"You deaf or some shit Giggles? YES we're being hunted." They said, raising their voice.

"Zip it, Marshmallow." Giggles mouthed, quickly covering Marshmallow's mouth harshly.

Crunching of twigs,vines, and other plants covering the forest's ground. The sound of a shotgun barrel could be heart clicking. Marshmallow's heart began to pound. Just as it got quiet, Giggle's top half of his mask broke off and hit the tree. Sheer fear could be seen in their eyes. The crunching of plants became rapidly louder as the two began to freak. Giggles quickly grabbed the chunk of mask as Marshmallow grabbed their paw and ran off from the danger upcoming.

"We need to hide. NOW." Marshmallow said, quite nervous.

"We just need to throw the person chasing us off their trail." Giggles said , confidentally

"Annnd I got a pretty good idea."

Giggles grabbed Marshmallow's hand and went up to a tall, thick tree with plenty of branches along the way up it. 

"we climbing this" Giggles said , getting a head start.

"wtf no i cgant climb" Marshmallow said, crossing arms.

Giggles summoned an extra arm from their spine , leaving the other in shock. The arm leaned towards the one below and attempted to grab their forearm a few times, failing. He soon gave up and went to grab the waist, also failing.

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU???" Giggles gasped , trying not to sound loud.

"I'll explain later, just grab my hand stupid." Marshmallow said , lending a hand out for Giggles to grab.

The pair went up about 30 feet above the danger lurking below. They weren't sure who or what it was, but they were planning to kill the pair. Marshmallow's back pressed against the rough, yet soft bark of the tree while Giggles clung onto wherever they could on Marshmallow. The two watched down below to see if the lurker had gone away when they heard a second voice.

"SIS! SISTA'! Did we get them??" an enthusiastic child began to cheer , while the other quickly stopped them.

"No, YOU failed to get HIM and his little accomplice." She began to start up.  

Marshmallow flinched at every word the woman emphasized , Giggles noticing. Giggles held Marshmallow tighter, letting them know it was alright. Marshmallow rested a hand gently on their back.

"I'm s..sorry!" The kid began to cry a little, she only seemed about 4.

"Stop your bitching, I'll just do all the damn work around here." She smacked the back of their head quite rough, receiving a yelp from them.

"Let's get going, those asses must be far by now." She began speeding off, not even worrying for the kid.

The kid began to flutter up to where the two were , anxiety rising. The kid stopped and stared at the two wide-eyes people, terrified. They just smiled, did a "zip motion" with their claws and mouth , waved and flew off. Giggles peeled theirself off of Marshmallow and let their legs dangle off the branch.

"I think we're good for now, now why ya' calling me Giggles?" They said , swaying their short legs.

"Well your face is a smile, yaknow' like a clown. Why am I Marshmallow?" They said , facing the same way as the other.

"You're just like a marshmallow, what's your real name tho?" Giggles said , fitting their gloves on a little tighter.

"No, you'll laugh at it. Tell me yours first." They said, facing away momentarily.

"I'm Grave, now you can tell me your name or you're Marshmallow forever." Grave said , smirking underneath his mask.

"Filth-" Filth said , giggling a little before hand.

"So, where we goin' from here?" Grave said , releasing his long ghostly arms from his back.

"I say we find somewhere, others could even be lookin' for us." Filth muttered, then proceeded to loudly whistle, making a roaring echo.

A spear soon shot to where the two were. Filth carefully climbed aboard the floating spear and motioned for the shorter to grab on. Grave shimmied across the branch to the spear and held onto Filth carefully. For extra balance, he gasped Filth's ghostly arms aboard the free space of the spear.

"Hold on tight, I'm going' quick til' I find us a nice place!" Filth yelped, sending the spear into motion.

As they shot off, Grave held onto Filth a little tighter due to him not being used to such heights. Filth soon realized and proceeded to go a little slower. (HELP PLEASE IM SCREAMING WHY DO I WRITE THIS SHIT LIKE THIS 😭😭). 

"Just tell me i'm goin' too fast stupid." Filth muttered , shuffling a little.

"I'm trying to balance, if I don't focus on that then I will ultimately die." Grave squeezed on a little tighter.

For most of the ride, it was awkward silence. Grave noticed the view from up top. He'd never been this high before.
