Chapter 3: Foresting Traps

Cacti ran bolted through the forest in giggles, glancing back as Rattle followed.

"WHY- ARE YOU SO- RANDOM?!"

Rattle yelp as they dodge a tree, huffing with slight frustration as they catch up. Cacti rolled their eyes, sticking their tongue out playfully. They still sprinted at full speed, but were slowly slowing down out of exhaustion. Suddenly, something grasped their wrist and pulled them back.

"Oof!!"

Cacti grunted as they slam into Rattle's heaving chest.

"Owww!! Why'd you do taaaat-"

Cacti's whining was cut off by Rattle's laughter. 

"Cause we're gonna get lost. Plus, my mom's want us home soon. It is getting pretty dark anyways. Oh ,and..."

Rattle held Cacti's arm out, sliding on their bracelet. Cacti opened their mouth, but no words came out. They purse their lips and look down, suddenly miserable. Rattle's gaze went to concern as they shook them softly.

"Hey...."

They whisper.

"...What's wrong?"

"..."

"I didn't mean to drop it."

Cacti mumbled.

"I didn't mean to..."

Rattle tilted their head.

"Okay? It's fine, don't worry about it."

Cacti just went silent again. Weird.

~ BACK AT RATTLE'S HOUSE... ~

Rattle carried Cacti on their back. Since Rattle's material wasn't soft and couldn't really be stabbed, they could touch Cacti and all. Well. Expect for their arms and legs. That was a weakness. Cacti just rested up their, bored and tired and hungry. They watch the forest disappear behind them.

For now, it'll stay behind them...

For now.

YAY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS THAT ACT LIKE THEIR DATING BUT THEY ARENT!! This is Cacti and Rattle!!

Cacti: A cactus. But with a plural name. They have an orange-red looking flower on their head. Cacti has they/them pronouns. Sometimes she. Cacti's bracelet is one of those with like the rubber bands on them. It is colored pink and blue because of their passion of cotton candy. Cacti has a disease that gives them seizures, unfortunately.

Rattle: So, you know what a rattlesnake is? It's basically that. The rattle of a rattlesnake. Rattle ALSO has they/them pronouns. Sometimes he. Rattle is the only mental and physically sane and okay one of my characters. Don't ask-

Anyways, I'm probably gonna draw some of them and post them on here. Yippeeeee!!

Have a good dayyyy!!

~ Always
