Boscha P.O.V.

What was I thinking?! That was way too much we barely even know each other that well! But..she looked so cute surprised....She was blushing wasn't she..? Or did I just imagine it?

It had only been a few minutes since Willow left, but I couldn't get over what I did...Who could? Nearly being kissed by your former bully only a day after seeing them again is definitely confusing. "Oh crap don't tell me..." I walked towards the nearest window to move the curtains revealing it had started raining. Boiling rain. "Shit she doesn't have time to get back to her house!" I grabbed my keys and a hoodie quickly running outside. The rain hit my hood thankfully having short lived success at making an effect.

Boscha: Are you safe from the boiling rain?

A reply bubble popped up briefly with no answer just gibberish. "Please be alright..." A drop hit my hand as I put my scroll in my pocket. Thankfully I know a healing spell for minor burns. I cast the spell mindlessly looking for anywhere Willow could've gone. My eyes spotted a nearby forest.

She could've found a cave or maybe a tree to hide from the rain...but that would have to be a last resort with all the dangers the forest has...

I didn't even have time to think before I dove into the maze of trees. One after another surrounding me until I was completely lost. "I did not think this through...." I looked at my scroll hoping for any clues to where I was to no avail. I heard a small snap from a twig behind me. I turned around to see a snaggleback scurrying in the rain. Sighing I walked deeper inside the web of trees. A few more sounds erupted through the walk all of them being animals trying to hide from the rain. Thus making the sound I just heard seem meaningless until I felt something grab my foot lifting me off the ground and upside down. "You're kidding me! Can't I go a day without going in the air?!"

"B-Boscha!?" Willow's voice came from a unclear source. It went quiet for a moment as I was moved towards a tree seemingly sucked into it. The tree was like a secret portal to a small clearing with a treehouse in the center. Whatever had grabbed me set me down and disappeared. A sharp inhale could be heard in the otherwise peaceful silence.

"Willow are you alright? Where are we?" I got up and made my way to the treehouse looking at the pleasant scenery around me.

"An old hideout. Luz, Gus and I built it years ago." Willow's voice sounded strained as she spoke.

"But what about you?"

"I...I've been better" I made my way up the treehouse's ladder onto a wooded flooring. The room was fairly small, and it had part of the tree going through it. Willow had herself backed into a corner curled in a ball while wrapped in a hoodie. "I didn't think you'd try to look for me."

"I tried texting you but I didn't get an understandable response."

"The boiling rain knocked my scroll out of my hand, when I tried to grab it the rain hit my side...." I walked closer to Willow noticing her hand has minor burn, the other clutching her side.

"Do you mind if I heal that?" I held out my hand in which Willow gave me hers. I grabbed ahold of her wrist drawing a healing spell like earlier.

"Thanks." I let go of Willow's wrist looking towards her side.

"How bad is it?" Willow sighed hesitantly lifting her shirt just above the burn. "O-oh you didn't have to show me it..."

"I don't know anything about healing spells, you've got a better chance to heal it than I do." Looking over the burn it didn't seem like it was going to do any serious damage, nonetheless it had to be painful.
