{Forbidden Love}

Chapter Nine

Y/N's POV

I groaned as I woke up.

My head was pounding.

"Ugh...Was...Did I drink...?" I mumbled.

I looked around taking in the view of the cave. "Well...that wasn't a dream..."

I looked around for the man and I didn't see him. "Oh? Well, that's great! I was drea-"

A loud snore near my side stopped my train of thought.

'CRAP. HE WAS REAL! HE'S SLEEPING ON ME. ALERT HELP? WHAT DO I DO? HE'LL THINK SOMETHING HAPPENED!!!' I freaked out internally hoping not to wake him.

I knew my face was red. I could feel the heat burning off of it.

I looked around anxiously knowing I had to find a way out of this.

'I...I'll just have to move...slowly.....extremely slowly from him...and pray to Irene he's not a light sleeper...' I thought.

I slowly crawled away and finally had gotten out of a near death trap.

"Good..." I sighed as I stood up. "He...was probably cold...and thought...Was I a good heat source? I don't know..."

I looked over by the fire and thought about how it was somehow still going after many hours.

I had suddenly recalled when he'd started talking in a strange voice last night. "He was talking weird last night...I should wake him up..."

I leaned down to shake him a bit when he jolted up screaming.

I screamed and jumped back.

"WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!" He yelled rubbing his neck.

"DO WHAT?! I LITERALLY DIDN'T TOUCH YOU!!" I screamed nervously.

I sighed and decided this was going to end now.

"OKAY! STOP! We're done playing games!!! WHO ARE YOU?!"

He smiled. "Oh, Hey Miss Fire!"

I groaned. "That...isn't my name..." 

"I'm Blaze!" He smiled innocently. "I...I'm a Mer-...a um....a...MeRP!!"

"WHat?" I asked confused.

"Hi...We got....off on the wrong...claw?? I don't....really remember any...anything...um...?" He started talking extremely strange.

"DId you like...hit your head or something...? Let me take a look..."

I looked around through his fiery hair, but I didn't see anything.

"There's...no bleeding...or a bruise for that matter...Maybe it's internal?"

"What?" He asked tilting his head in confusion.

"Something happened to you...and bad too...but...we HAVE to get back to the boat..." I stood up in front of him. "With...some proper clothes too...Come on..." I started to head for the exit of the cave forgetting the fire.

I started to walk out and turned and he was still sitting in his place.

"Let's go? Why are you sitting?"

"I can't....um...swim like you...?"

"What? You know what I don't care. Just get up?" I tried asking as calm as possible even though I was done with this man.

He attempted but fell back down.

"Please don't tell me you can't walk..."

"I....um...can't?" He said confused.
