"Almost...there..." Vanessa grunted.

"Why does it have to be so hard?!" Pocapell sighed in frustration.

"Nngghh! Won't it budge?!" Alexandria huffed.

"Oh god." I winced in pain. "It's so tight!"

"Vanessa, I think this was too rough." The noble maiden let out a shaky, throaty sigh.

"You got yourself in this, idiot."

Pocapell rolled her eyes as the three girls tried to lift the giant rock Vanessa threw at me when she found out we drew on her face.

"What a cheap trick." Vanessa basically gave up and summoned a huge amount of water. "Hold your breath."

I did exactly as told immediately, as I felt the rock leave my wet, soaking body.

I moaned in pleasure with the heavy weight off my chest.

"Hey, at least it wasn't permanent marker! And Alexandria's right, you did go too far!" I reminded Vanessa.

"I'm sorry." Vanessa apologized, "For throwing a huge rock at your disrespectful ego. I see you don't know how to be polite towards women, taking advantage of them in their peaceful sleep!" She spat.

"I'm sorry for that, I mean it." I professed.

"Vanessa, would you want some tea?" The noble maiden offered the pissed off lady. "You should calm down a little, even though it was just a childish gesture, you must not retort in such violent means, you went too far."

Vanessa took a sip from the tea and sighed.

"Ness, you could've killed the poor guy." Pocapell lectured, "You need to apologize properly! This isn't like you!"

Vanessa flinched, and looked up. "W-what do you mean?"

"Hold up a sec." I walked towards the boiling girl until I was centimeters away from hee face. "You're cute when you're like this."

She raised a brow. "Oh really?"

Then, I did another stupid thing, something I never thought I'd do. To a girl, of all sorts.

I punched her. Right at the stomach.

"Who the hell are you." I growled.

"Holy shit!" She grunted.

"Chris, what the hell!" She slapped me.

"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, okay, I'm sorry!" I heard yelping a few feet away, behind a tree.

Pocapell summoned fire. "Reveal yourself."

Ice shards were aimed at the tree. "Who's there?"

"I'll confess, I did it... I possessed her... I just wanted food... I'm sorry." I recognized the voice as a male.

"Cease fire." I raised a hand and walked towards the tree. "You did all that for food?! I almost got killed! Come out, we won't hurt you."

A guy in chestnut brown hair and green eyes got out from wherever the hell he was hiding and kneeled, clutching his stomach. "I'm sorry!"

"From where are you?" Vanessa asked in pain.

"The next village. The trees, animals, crops, they all died! We're in serious need of food and water, medicine... I just want to save my little sister!" The poor guy cried. "Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us, please..."
