I had never run so much and so fast in my life and I’m not gonna lie. I was at my limit by the time the forest came into view yet Roxy was perfectly fine. How can she be this fine?
I wanted to tell her to stop but it already felt like she was matching her pace with mine so I didn’t say anything but in the end I had to suffer the consequences of that.
At the road in front of the forest I ended up tripping and skidding against the rough surface. It scraped my elbows and knees a little but it hurt like hell.
“Owww,” I tried getting back up again when a hand offered me help. I looked up and saw Roxy standing there with her hand extending out for me to take.
“We’re almost there. His scent is strong here.” She said and I blinked at her weirdly.
“His scent is strong here?” I took her hand, “What are you, a dog?”
“...” She just turned her face away after I stood up and walked into the forest.
What the? Isn’t she going to say anything back? Weird.
