He dragged you deeper and deeper into the cave. The suddenly there was a loud growling coming from near you in the cave.
"What was th-" Claude pushed you against a wall and covered your mouth mid sentence. The growling got louder and louder and louder as you begin to see gold glowing eyes staring at you both.
You're completely still as the dragon surveys the area glancing past you two. After a few seconds the dragon seemingly walks away with a loud huff.
Claude slowly moves his hand of your mouth staring off into the direction of the dragon's footsteps. In a hushed voice he whispers "They can sense movement. So don't move unless I tell you to. Got it?"
You simply nod in reply subconsciously which agitates Claude. He slowly and steadily backs away from you walking as light as possible towards where the dragon went.
After he gets just out of sight you see his hand motion for you to follow him. Following the exact same path he went you walk to him as carefully and quietly as possible. You could see the annoyed look on his face as you took about twice the amount of time as him.
Claude took your hand and pulled you behind him so you would keep his pace as you walked towards the dragon. As you ventured deeper and deeper into the cave you could see a torch light in the distance. You speed up to walk next to Claude so he wasn't dragging you anymore.
"Wait." A rough tug on your hand pulled you to a halt.
You shoot a glare at Claude before speaking, "Why the hell do you keep doing that!?"
This constant pulling and pushing from Claude was getting on your nerves. But then you looked at his eyes and noticed his concerned expression as he stared off behind you.
You turn around and are met face to face with the dragon. As it speaks you there is a smoke cloud blown in your face.
"Oh? Es-tu perdu petite souris?"
You felt the grip on your hand disappear as the dragon got closer. Seemingly not to notice Claude.
A bit confused at his words you question. "Uhhh.....what?"
"Vous ne parlez pas français?"
"......No..?"
You stare at him confused for a bit before he picks you up by the back of your shirt.
"Hey, what the hell!? Put me down!"
You struggle but his only laughs at your attempt to get free.
"Oh, petite souris your pitiful attempts are adorable~."
You can pick up on his light French accent but not knowing French can only assume that petite means small and whatever else he said was an insult. You glance around looking for Claude before the dragons claw directs your face towards his.
"What are you looking for petite souris..? A way to escape from me?" He then laughs; seeming to find what he said funny. But then abruptly stops and turns serious.
"You cannot escape from me, Mon souris. You break in here and you will stay for the rest of your pitiful life."
You were about to reply when the dragon dropped you and let out a loud roar. When he whipped his head around to look at his tail you followed his gaze to see Claude with a few of his scales in his hand.
"HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SCALES!" The dragons voice echoed throughout the cave as he yelled at Claude.
With a swift flick of his tail Claude went flying into the cave wall. "You dare to take from me!? Je mettrai fin à ta vie, misérable créature!"
The dragon pounced towards Claude but before he could reach him Claude ran out of the way and grabbed your hand.
Claude effectively dragging you around like a ragdoll once again. Not like you minded at the moment with a 200 foot dragon chasing you. As you both ran the dragon was gaining on you fast.
"Uh Claude, I don't mean to worry you but there's a 200 foot dragon about to eat us if you don't fucking stop it!"
As you say this Claude shoots you a glare and says, "I have a plan okay? So shut up and let me do this, brat."
"What did you ju-", before you could finish your sentence the dragon stomped causing both of you to topple over.
"Petite souris~ where are you GOING!?"
The dragon yelled and started to back you into a corner, "I said you were mine, no? I said you couldn't leave!"
He stomped again causing a pillar to fall and hit him in the snout. He yelped and fell to the ground as the pillar began to roll towards you.
Not wasting another second you get up and start sprinting to the exit of the cave. Not caring if Claude would get out or not with a pillar threatening to turn you into a human pancake.
As you ran you glance to a boulder to the side of the entrance in which Claude was pushing towards the opening.
"Claude!"
You yell and wave your hand in the air to get his attention and as he looked up his eyes widened at the sight of the pillar.
"Oh for gods sakes! You can't go five seconds without getting into trouble!?"
He pushes the boulder as to where you both can barely fit through and runs out of the cave.
Suddenly you hear crashing from behind you and when you glance back you see the dragon charging at you full speed. Though far behind he's gaining quick and you are still a ways from the entrance.
Now being chased by both the bone crushing pillar and an angry dragon you manage to speed up despite the pain in your sides and lack of air in your lungs. Though this burst of adrenaline didn't last for long as a few seconds later you're slowing down and gasping for air.
With the exit looking farther than before and your doom gaining behind you, tears begin to prick your eyes. Even with the sense of dread creeping up inside your stomach, you keep running and somehow manage to make it to the exit and past the boulder before you're crushed. You collapse onto the sand as you hear two big crashes and rock cracking behind you.
"Geez, are you okay, kid..?" Claude says as he rubs your back.
"Does it look like I'm fucking okay!?"
You try and catch your breath while simultaneously being bitchy towards him.
"I was trying to be helpful"
"By asking dumb questions?"
"Shut up, shrimp."
"Jackass."
Not taking to kindly to your insult he throws you over his shoulder and brings you over to the boat. But at this point you are too tired and out of breath to struggle so you sit there as he sets you down in the boat.
"Rest. You look like you need it." He wipes the sweat from your forehead with his thumb with an almost concerned look in his eyes. Slowing drifting off to sleep you start to think about the look on his face. Was he really worried about you?
Of course not he hates you right?
Right....?
