~ The Other Side of the Storm ~

Chapter 16

(Didn't proof read or anything. Hope this doesn't suck.)

Biggie tucked Branch and Rose into both of his arms and ran as fast as he could "away" from the storm.

"Biggie, are you sure we're heading away from the storm?" Branch hugged Biggie's arm.

"Not really, but just trust me!" Biggoe nervously laughed and kept running.

"We can just hide under a tree root." Rose tickled Biggie's arm pit so she could be freed.

Biggie giggled and dropped them both, "Hey!"

Branch scrambled on to his feet and clutched on to a tree root, "This seems sturdy enough."

Rose rolled right behind him and hugged him, "If you let go, we both die, got it?"

"Uh.." Branch slowly nodded and held the root tighter.

There wasn't enough room underneath the root for his size, meaning Biggie didn't have a very safe spot to seek shelter, "What do I do?!"

Branch pulled Biggie over to them with his hair and used his good arm to hold Biggie's wrist tight, "Try not to lose grip, okay?"

"I'll try?" Biggie wasn't sure how he was supposed to fight a tornado if it came close, especially in their bad shelter. He planted his feet into the ground and held Branch's wrist back with his other hand.

Rose looked up at the sky, it was just dark and green. "Weird how there isn't any hail."

As expected, a huge thump was heard on the stump.

(i should be a rapper 😌 i'm good at it too, i can sing rap god faster than the song.)

"HAIL! HAIL!" Rose made an umbrella with her hair and remained underneath the stump.

Biggie inched closed to Branch. He couldn't get underneath the stump, but obviously didn't want to be struck with a giant ice ball again.

"Biggie, just make a hair umbrella." Branch pushed him back out a little bit.

Biggie did as directed, but went right back to next to Branch. Normally during these situations he had Dinkles to cuddle, but Dinkles wasn't there.

Branch sighed and awkwardly patted Biggie on the back, "Don't worry. We'll be fine!"

As Biggie began to calm down, they heard a hiss from the bushes. "What was that?"

"Oh, great. Now we have to deal with a tornado and a predator." Rose sarcastically clapped her hands, "This will be so fun!" She faked something enthusiasm and waited for whatever was hiding to come out.

From the bushes emerged three tall spider-like creatures. The were fuzzy with purple striped fur, eight hairy blue legs, with green or pink fuzz on their heads. The same creatures that had tried to eat Poppy during her Bergen adventure and that had violently beaten up Milton that one time.

Rose gasped, "Tarantacapuff!" She pulled the two to the other side to keep a distance.

"They look kind of cute, excluding the fangs." Biggie, tried to keep a positive mind set.

The spiders blushed and made and made "uwu" kind of faces.
