Chapter 2

It was to the feeling of wind rushing through his air, that DJ awakened. Blinking slowly, until his eyes fully opened and he tried to get his bearings.

Of course that wasn't all, as he felt a warm bundle hugging his waist. Looking down, he saw a lilac haired girl firmly attached to his torso, arms constricting his waist, and a silly smirk on her face as if having an amazing dream. And further below was the... tree...line.

It was at that moment that two things happened.

One, his eyes went dotted as he was made aware of how fucked he was.

"Shit." a low curse left the boys mouth as he flipped himself into a right side up position, with his arms and legs forming a sorta shell around the girl in his arms. Now came step 2.

As dumb as the next decision was, it was a makeshift method of slowing his descent.

When your falling towards a forest, or any surface for that matter, from some serious altitude, you should always try to slow your descent. There are more steps, but that's beside the point. The main way of doing this would be to spread out in an X position. But since there's someone wrapped around him, that's sorta out the window.

Which leaves option B.

Wham

DJ let out a low hiss as his back slammed into a tree branch, which held his weight for all of a second before breaking. There were several proceeding crunches and whumps as his fall gradually slowed due to putting his back through nearly every branch on the way to the ground.

Until finally,

"Gaghhhkakkkph?!"

He slammed down back first onto the ground groaning, as a crater formed from the impact zone.

"Gueegh?!"

Before coughing as the girl from before landed on his stomach.

Groaning more, he slowly got to his feet, before picking up the girl beside him, who was somehow still sleeping.

Bracing her weight in his arms, he began to walk forward slowly, trying to find a way out of the forest.

And he just... walked for an unknown amount of time. Eyes half closed, and legs protesting each step.

All while cursing that damn tome in his head.

With each step he cursed louder, until eventually he ran out of words to distract himself from the pain.

Thud

Until he faceplanted with the girl in his arms falling a short bit away, the last thing he gazed upon being a flash of peach.
