Enis POV

We ran through the forest while monsters chased us. Even though we were in obvious danger, I couldn't help but find this fun. I started yodeling.

"Stop yodeling! You're attracting monsters!" Mark whisper/yells, continuing to run. I decide to stop.

We suddenly come up to a river and Mark stops us. "Woah woah woah, ok. Alright, this is where we cross. Who's got the supply bag?"

"Right here!" I say happily, taking it off my shoulder and giving it to him.

"Oh cool." He looks in the bag, freezes, then flips the bag over. All that fell out was a. Empty can. I knew there was something I was missing in my trail back.

"Why is it empty?" Mark asks me with a hint of anger.

"I thought I would use the supplies to make a trail to we could find our way back!" I say, motioning to the way back.

Mark suddenly reaches over and grips the front of my shirt, lifting me slightly in the air. "We're not going back" he growls angrily.

"Wow Mark, your breathe is a little stinky today." I observe.

Dodger comes up behind Mark and puts his machete back in its place. "Oook, how 'bout you go first." She says, taking Mark off of me.

"Why?" Mark asks, not taking his eyes off of me.

"Cause first smells worst, now go." She says, patting him on the shoulder before sending him across.

"Um, Dodger? We may have a problem..." I say, fiddling with my fingers as I watch Mark cross the stream.

"Yeah, he's sparkly and likes to yodel." She pats my shoulder. "C'mon." She then proceeds to walk across the stream.

"Enis? What's the hold up?" Mark says once he fully crosses the stream.

"F-Funny thing about vampires. We're uh... We're afraid of..." I pause, looking at the water in fear. "Wa... Wa.." I couldn't finish the word.

"Warts?" Dodger guesses.

"Wallabies?" Mark guesses.

"Wax museums?" Dodger guesses.

"Oh yeah, wax museums. Everyone's afraid of wax museums."

"Terrified." Dodger confirms.

"No! W-Water!" I finally manage to say.

Dodger sighs. "Uh, ok. Can't you like turn into a sparkle bat or something? And like fly over here?"

"That's a great idea! If I just concentrate for the next 20 minutes-" I start to concentrate, but the sound of s roar made me freeze. I quickly look behind me in fear.

"Ugh. Why couldn't it have been wax museums?" I hear Mark say as he starts across the river again.

"M-Mark?" I couldn't help myself as I called out his name, looking around wildly.

"Mark?!" I started getting even more scared as the noises got even closer.

"Mark! Ah!" I let out a shrill squeak as he grabs my shoulders, flipping me around to face him.

"How did you survive this long?" He asks.

I let out a yelp as he leans over, wrapping one arm around my legs and the other behind me back. He grunts ax he picks me up bridal style, starting to carry me across the river.

I wrap my arms around his neck, looking down at the water in fear. I then bury my face into his neck, silently praying that he wouldn't drop me. This would have felt a lot nicer if we weren't in these given circumstances.

Mark chuckles and whispers. "Don't worry, I got you."

Dodger looks at us and smirks. "I ship it."

We finally make it to the other side of the shore. Mark sets me down, panting a little. I blush and turn away.

"Yes! We made it! This calls for a victory fan fair!" I pull out my kazoo and start blowing into it.

Ark growls before reaching over and grabbing my kazoo, throwing it into the water.

I look at him with hurt. "W-What did you do that for?"

He chuckles before leaning closer, whispering into my ear, "it's what the book said to do."

"Where?" I ask, pulling out the book and flipping through it.

"Let's keep moving. Unlike you, some of these monsters can actually swim." Mark says as they start to walk away.

I hear a roar in the distance, so I ran to catch up with them.

I don't really understand. First Mark's a jerk to me, then he's flirty, then he's a jerk again. Are there manuals or books on human makes? I could really use one right now.. Even the book doesn't have all the answers...
