Lost - An II AU

Chapter Nine

(A/N: Blood warning!)

Fan's POV

I trudged through the forest alongside Balloon and Lightbulb, clutching the medic kit's handle in one of my hands. We had decided to walk the opposite direction that my now crashed car was facing, and just tried to keep going in a straight line from there.

It wasn't much of a plan, but it was better then nothing.

We did have to stop walking every once in a while because Balloon would get too tired to keep going, with his injury slowing him down and all. Lightbulb had to help him walk since it'd only been a week or so since he'd gotten injured again, and he was definitely not fully recovered yet.

I then noticed Balloon was breathing heavily, but only because he started speaking. " Hey guys... Can we stop... for a min.. a minute..?" Balloon asked, gasping for air mid-sentence. Lightbulb and I quickly complied, finding an okay spot to rest close by and then sitting down.

I leaned against a tree, looking over at the two people with me, who were both sitting on the right side of me. Lightbulb had started eating another stick,  and Balloon was now taking some deep breaths.

I almost laughed when Lightbulb finished eating her first stick, and then grabbed another one, taking a bite out of said stick. Balloon and I had both gotten used to Lightbulb's absurdness, which included the eating of random items found around the forest. Like sticks.

Eventually, Balloon was ready to get back to walking, so I rose from my spot, Lightbulb following my lead soon after swallowing a mouthful of... you guessed it, sticks.

And on we went, continuing our adventure out of the forest. Soon after we began walking again, though, Balloon and Lightbulb stopped walking suddenly, and I heard a loud "OOF!" behind me, along with the crunch of a few leaves.

So, I turned around, and there was Balloon and Lightbulb, who had both fallen over. Lightbulb seemed to have fallen first, and then Balloon soon after due to not having any support for walking.

And on top of Lightbulb,

Was a wolf.

The wolf bit down onto one of her arms, and she screamed, trying to kick the wolf in the stomach.

I was somewhat in shock, before finally processing what was happening and running over to Balloon, who was closer to me, and helping him up, bringing him farther away from the wolf.

I then grabbed a long stick, and slowly moved towards Lightbulb and the wolf.

Said wolf had basically murdered both of Lightbulb's arms, clutching one of the bleeding crimson messes in its jaws as its yellow eyes stared directly into my soul.

The wolf then leapt at me. I ducked, and almost immediately afterwards, stabbed the empty air above me with the stick. The wolf flew right over my paper head, and the stick punctured the wolf's underbelly when I stabbed said air, causing it to tumble to the ground, blood spurting out of its fresh wound.

I had let go of the stick I used for a weapon, and hurried over to Lightbulb, picking her up since she seemed to be in too much pain to walk.

"RUN!" I screamed to Balloon, and then started running myself, slower then average since I was holding Lightbulb. He quickly sprinted after me, despite his leg injury.

And off we went once again, even more injured then before.
