What happens in the woods stays in the woods

Chapter 22: Jared

Chapter 22

Jared's POV

"No!"

I wake up with a jolt.

Screams.

Screams.

Lots and lots of screams.

I jump out of my fire bed (which can I say is awesome!) and leap out the door.

Surrounding, both Grace and I's houses are hundreds, of black chickens.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

"Oh, man!"

I yell.

I scan the area around me and see if there is a place I can run-

Oh, wait.

Grace.

Crap.

"Grace!"

I yelled about we loud as I could.

The black chickens were getting closer (honestly, did Morgana not have any other monsters?)

I didn't hear anything from her 'hut'.

This isn't the time to be in a deep sleep right now!

I told her in my head.

"I can't believe I'm doing this!"

I slapped my hand to my head, then put it down and concentrated.

"Okay Jared," I told myself "just gotta kill a bunch of monsters, save a damsel in distress, and get both of us out alive."

I smiled at myself.

"Piece of cake."

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•

I started with walls of fire.

"Start of plan."

I told myself.

"First, keep monsters away for as long as possible."

"Two, protect the damsel in distress."

"Three, escape alive."

I almost laughed.

"And have fun!"

I lifted my hands and felt the heat flow through me.

A huge wall of fire was put between me and the black chickens.

"Protection, sustained."

After I was sure the fire was large enough to protect us, I ran over to Graces hut.

I started banging, hard on the door.

"Grace!"

No time for 'happy wake ups'.

"Honestly! Grace!"

I looked through the door.

Their were flowers, roots and trees growing in a fortress looking thing surrounding her.

She was sitting up, and her eyes were wide with fear.

"Jared!" She screamed "put your fire out and I'll come help!"

I hasn't noticed that a large circle of fire was surrounding her.

And, I wasn't controlling it.

"Gra-Grace!" I yelled

"What?!"

"That's not me!"

Then, my fire goes out.
