The Forest's Secret

Chapter Three: A Sudden Surprise

     Levi's P.O.V

   

        I heard a faint scratching as I was abruptly shoved  from the fetal position I was in as I slept.

      "Uhh?", I questioned drowsily. "What's going on", I asked coming to my senses.

     "Don't move!", The girl practically hissed. "Or talk for that matter", she growled as an after-thought.

     "Why whaa-....." I started. When I looked up though I froze with fear. Through the window I could see a giant piercing red eye surrounded by what appeared to be deteriorating scales.

    "I knew I shouldn't have brought you here", she mumbled under her breath as if I wasn't standing right next to her.

    "Thank you", I remarked mocking a cheerful tone," You make it sound like it's my fault my horse got away", I added holding back a smirk.

    "Well, if we're gonna get technical, then yes, yes it is", she replied in a dangerous voice that made me flinch. "Oh, and might I add that it's your fault that he's here", she added gesturing to the creature peering through the window.

      "Why? What did I do?", I asked silently.

     "Haven't I told you that you're presence here is unwelcome?! The creatures of the forest sense that you're foreign and their first thought is to rid the forest of you  with any means necessary!", She spat out disregarding that we we're being watched by a creature with a likely blood-lust.

       My mind slowly began to process what she said. I was being hunted? All because I thought it humorous to screw with a gir-, no, demon...thing. Wow, this is the farthest I have ever gone with a joke.

       I then noticed she had been glaring daggers at me the whole while I was thinking that through.

     "So... What are we going to do about that?",I said redirecting my attention to the undead reptilian creature eavesdropping on our conversation.

     "Let me deal with it", she hissed in response. "I'll be back, I know how to make it leave", she finished as she started slowly creeping towards the rustic wooden door. "Oh, and don't leave even if you do piss yourself", she smirked.

    "Got it", I grumbled.

     Wow, this chick had some guts though. All the girls back at the keep went squealing at the sight of the creepy crawlies I would flick into their "perfect" hair when nothing else came to my devious mind.

       Now that I thought about it though she wasn't a true girl...Was she? I'm not even sure, I mean she has the.... parts.

     I blushed deeply as that thought entered my mind. I couldn't shake off this feeling that she was different though, besides being whatever she was.

     Then the solution came to me. She didn't respect me as other girls did, well, were forced to or be executed but still I didn't think she would even if she did face execution. She just seemed that type of girl.

     It had been five minutes since she left and I wasn't gonna lie I was kind of worried about her even though I knew she could take care of herself. 

    Just as the thought left my mind the door creaked open to  the girl in a new set of clothes that looked way too revealing than would be allowed at the Golden Kingdom. She wore a white and silver striped dress that covered just past her rear end it  also had  a cut-out specifically for her belly-button. Atop her shoulders were what appeared to be silver plated pads which were probably mostly for show as they looked less than helpful in combat. Along her arms were white gloves that reached her elbows and her legs had thigh high socks that were striped vertical same as the dress. When I looked up at her hair I realized I had failed to notice upon our first encounter that that tipping her hair was a vibrant turquoise that complemented her brilliant blue eyes. That was until...
