Well what a challenge!

(This is Faye's Pov now)

Harsh breaths hitting the air as leaves crunched and rustled beneath my feet looking behind myself so often, I lost track of Malachi somewhere in the dark stumbling around before I fell getting a face full of mud.

Soon sitting back on my knees wiping it from my eyes blinking after a bit and seeing Malachi walking towards me shivering slightly as he knelt down blinking confused, he didn't seem to understand why I attempted to run.

I obviously made no sense to him in this world and it might've been best if I pretended to blend in a bit turning my face away when he tried to reach for it obviously hurting his pride with how he soon lowered his hand.

I soon blinked to him with a little mumble and wiped my hands on my pants hesitating for a moment before sighing staring at his face, he looked like a lost puppy and I instantly felt guilty, he made me feel certain feelings that felt confusing,

"Im sorry Malachi, can you just refresh me on the tribes?"

With those words he perked up immediately ears flipping up straight as he nodded eagerly settling down on the ground obviously getting comfortable and taking his time as much as it annoyed me.

Soon pushing myself up onto a log looking down at him as he cleared his throat turning completely serious eyes flashing his blue eyes were dark as he thought of what to say taking his time to think of how to simplify it for me.

"There are five tribes in total okay? Jaguar tribe is the one your in now, then there's Tiger tribe, Bear tribe, Gorilla tribe, Elephant tribe. All are quite strong in there own ways, the survival is great for there own lands."

Malachi smiled admiring his own tribes strength he had quite an ego and I could tell it instantly watching his face eyes trailing down as-much as I didn't wish to admit it he had a toned nice body before I noticed he caught me staring turning my face away and looking to the trees.

"So what tribe are you from?"

His question rang through the air causing me to turn back looking at his face and thinking frowning lightly, what one would be more believable? Pushing my thoughts away and smiling at him making eye contact.

"Im from the Elephant tribe, im not in these situations a lot if you couldn't tell"

He nodded his head in understandment lifting his hand to lightly move the hair out of my face earning a soft blush as I turned away started to stand him following my lead, it was obvious he was thinking of what to say next as he looked to his feet then back to me.

"I'll take you back to my tribe! I will keep you safe okay?"

He grinned grabbing me and picking me up again earning a squeak as he started walking, I wasn't impressed with the male right now yet I wasn't going to loose this chance to relax a little.

After all the running I have done today my feet hurt especially since my shoes have vanished, I was obviously not in my world anymore as there were strange beast-men obviously no cities, or proper clothes watching the trees

Soon he walked us past noticing little patches of flowers or mushrooms taking note that the grounds obviously were great and healthy providing beautiful greenery and making my heart pull to adore the small flower patches.

I soon noticed lights ahead and looked to Malachi, this was probably his tribe they were going towards tensing softly. What if they all weren't as kind as Malachi? Looking to the male for a moment him giving a reassuring smile.

I soon turned back watching the peoples reactions to him carrying me into the tribe eyes turning to watch as mumbles filled the air anxiety only rising in this situation as I turned hiding my face against his chest.

For what seemed to be hours we walked towards his home soon he opened the door then set me down as I fixed my attire looking around the small area, it was well decorated a bed of animal furs on the ground yet the floors felt a little sticky each step I took.

Lightly moving to sit on the bed of furs looking up at him as he smiled brightly as if expecting something from me before he turned sitting down at a little pit and starting a fire humming softly as I watched him intrigued by his acting.

"Well can we find something to eat Malachi?"

i started at him as he soon lifted his head nodding a lot getting to his feet as he walked over to the door as I started to stand too him looking at me and shaking his head no, the male seemed quite determined to show off his male pride.

"You stay here and rest okay? I'll do the rest!"

The male smiled brightly at him before walking out leaving me standing alone before walking back to the nest of furs aligning them up a bit before laying down, it was quite comfortable pulling one over my body and sighing out closing my eyes enjoying the warmth I was covered in and son falling asleep hoping this was all a dream.
