It was a Bear! A huge, black bear with seven inch claws and, and the teeth of a saber toothed cat! And its eyes- it had terrifying empty white eyes that held a demonic glow! I felt Leon's arm wrap tighter around me, and out of instinct I turned my head to bury it in his chest. I was horrified- trembling from the fear that was clouding my mind. So clenched my eyes shut and waited for everything to be over- but all I really did was make my ears hone in on every sound the bear made. I heard it growl- it was such a deep, demonic sound that sent chills of terror down my spine! I heard the crunch of grass and fallen leaves beneath its feet as it drew nearer to us, and if even possible Leon pulled me closer to his frame. He moved me to his front and crushed me against his chest- every slow breath he took kept me from letting mine get out of control. My face was in his neck, I could feel tears tickling my cheeks- then I felt breath against the back of my head. I stopped breathing and I swear my heart stopped- the bear was standing right behind me, breathing on me. Another unwanted sensation drove tremors through me- I felt its tongue, it was licking me!

Drool ran down my neck and dripped onto my shirt- oh my god I was going to die! I braced myself for the oncoming pain, expecting to feel either its jaws or its claws pierce the skin of my back or my neck- but the pain never came. I felt Leon shift his weight slightly as if he were leaning forward, and I felt the hold on me loosen slightly. Unable to fight off the urge I turned my head and cracked an eye open to see what was going on, and I thought I was going to wet myself. The bear was still behind me and standing on its hind legs, much to my dismay, but it wasn't trying to attack me. No, what made me think I was about to wet myself had been spotting Leon's hand on its snout- he was actually petting the monstrosity! He was running his fingers in small circles in the junction right between the bears blank white eyes, and whats more, I can't believe that he didn't get his arm ripped off! Then, I heard him mutter something under his breath, but I'd been so mortified by what was going on that I hadn't caught the words. The next thing I knew, the bear was back on all fours, walking away from us- and Jack was slithering down my back to coil around my left leg. As soon as the bear was out of sight I felt Leon try to pull away from me, and on instinct I pulled him closer and pressed by face into his chest- I could feel more tears falling.

Hey, I'd just gone through a near death experience! So, no one can blame me for crying. I was glad that Leon didn't say anything or try to push me away, but in my given state I probably would've calmed down faster had he hugged me, or put a hand on my back. But he did no such thing. He just stood perfectly still, and allowed me to pour my fears into the fabric covering his chest- and I could feel him staring down at me. Eventually, I stopped crying and realized that I was desperately clinging to a guy that I hated, and I pushed myself away from him unintentionally shoving him back wards in the process. At the same time, he reached an arm behind my back to keep me from getting for than a foot away from him, so I was jerked back into place as he took a step backwards to regain his balance. My first instinct was to try and get away from him again, but when I lifted my gaze to look him in the eye his expression made me freeze. His eyes were gold again, and he was glaring at me. The next thing I knew he was picking me up and threw me over his shoulder, and he started carrying me further into the wood. Before I could get it in my mind to shout at him, he set me back on the ground beside a tree and pushed me down by my shoulders so that I would sit. Then, Jack moved up my leg to coil around my waist, and I looked up at Leon questioningly.

“Stay here, sit down, and don't move. I have to take care of something. Jack will protect you. Don't make any noise.” Leon warned before turning and walking back towards where we had encountered the bear, leaving me alone with his heavy ass snake, but I didn't dare try to get him off of me. If what Leon said was true, then Jack was probably the only thing I had to protect me until I got back- and since he told me not to move or speak, I had the feeling that he'd gone to take care of another dangerous animal. Now that I thought about it, how the hell had be been able to get rid of the bear like that? Was he some sort of animal whisperer? Was that why I heard him say something while he was petting the bear? I had so many questions running through my head that it wasn't even funny. What if he gets hurt? What if something finds me and Jack isn't enough to keep me safe? What if he somehow gets lost and never find me? Movement by the nearby trees caught my attention and I snapped my head to the side to look at it- a flash of white and gray, and then nothing. Was that a wolf? No, it couldn't have been- it moved upright. Was it a werewolf then?

God I was asking myself so many questions that I was making myself more anxious than I already was. But I was sure that I'd seem something bolt through the surrounding trees. As if sensing my anxiety, Jack tightened around me slightly as if to hug me- or perhaps he was demonstrating his possessiveness of me. Considering that he'd refused to leave me alone since he snuck up on me in the bathroom, I had a feeling that the snake had a crush on me or something. Another sudden movement caught my eye- this time it came from right next to me. I jerked my head to the side just in time to catch the image of a pale white hand disappearing on the other side of the tree I was leaning against. I felt terror ignite anew inside of me- that hand, it had claws! Forgetting that Leon had told me not to move, I stood up and inched my way around the tree to see if whoever- or whatever- I had seen was standing on the other side. When I reached the back and peeked around, I was somewhat relieved to find that there wasn't anyone there- or at least I was until I felt something touch me. The back of my neck, just above my back, I felt cold fingers accompanied by long nails firmly press against my skin. Just like that, I'd lost my ability to move. I was literally frozen with fear. Whatever it was that was touching me, there was no way in hell that it was human.

Human skin isn't cold as stone. Human hands don't sport long, birdlike talons. A strange, rumbling noise- like the sound the predators make in the alien vs predator movies- sounded off behind me. Humans don't make sounds like that! I felt the hand on the back of my neck ghost down my spine, it stopped in the middle of my back and I felt a claw press lightly into my skin through the fabric of my tee shirt. Then, the claw was dragged back up my spine- it would have brought my shirt up with it had Jack not been coiled tightly around my waist. Wait, Jack! Why wasn't he doing anything?! Didn't Leon say he would protect me from anything dangerous?! Hold it. Jack wasn't reacting to whatever was standing behind me. So, did that mean I wasn't in any danger? That thought alone was all it took for my fear to subside enough for me to move again, and on impulse I started to turn my head to get a look at whatever was standing behind me. The hand that had been on my neck swiftly moved to cover my eyes, and I felt a cold body press up against me. That was strange. Aside from its hands and its temperature, the creature that had moved to let me feel it felt oddly human- it was shaped like a human woman. I could feel breasts pressing against my back, and out of curiosity I lifted one of my hands to touch the one covering my eyes. Its- her- skin felt surprisingly soft.

I moved my fingers to feel hers- it was like touching a cold human with the skin of a newborn baby. Claws- my fingers skimmed the surface of her nails. They were smooth, the tips of them were sharp, but they were thin like human nails. I heard her make the predator noise again, and I noticed that she used a higher pitch- it was as if she were trying to mix the sounds of a birds call and a predators click. It was a strange, but not unwelcome sound- for some reason it pegged me as an affectionate noise. Then, I felt her other hand snake up to touch my mouth- she pressed a finger to my lips, then shifted the hand covering my eyes so that her fingers held my eyelids closed. Her hands slowly slid down my face and ghosted across my shoulders- I kept my eyes and mouth closed in response to her pressing her fingers against them. That had been her signal for me to keep quiet and not look at her after all. I felt her drop something down the front of my shirt- it slipped down and got stuck between my stomach and Jack's body. Then, her body left mine, and I no longer sensed her standing behind me. After a moment or so passed I slowly opened my eyes and hesitantly turned around to see if she was gone- I saw nothing behind me. No physical evidence of her being there remained, not even footprints. Then, I moved my hand down the collar of my shirt to grasp whatever she'd left with me.

Jack loosened his hold on me ever so slightly so that I could work my fingers into hooking the object- whatever it was, I could tell that it was made of metal. Actually, once I had it between my fingers, I realized that it was a ring. When I withdrew my hand my assumptions were proven correct, because I held a silver ring with strange white stones embedded in it.

“I told you not to move...” Leon's voice suddenly sounded off near me, and I snapped my head in the direction of the sound to find him standing a few feet away from me with a scowl on his face. I cringed a little at his expression, but I was more concerned with whether or not he had seen the creature that had given me the ring- which he seemed to be staring at.
“Whats that in your hand?” He asked as he took the few steps needed to close the distance between us, then he snatched the ring out of my hands- then his eyes widened considerably and he scanned the area as if expected to spot someone he didn't particularly like.

“Where did you get this?!” He snapped, holding the ring in front of my face- I snatched it from him and slipped it on my left ring finger out of spite. He growled at me in response and grabbed my hand roughly, then he proceeded to yank the ring off of my finger. Had he not grabbed my mouth with his hand I would have screamed at him- his dame gauntlets cut my ring finger from the last knuckle all the way to the start of my fingernail, and it friggin hurt!

“Tell me where you got this!” Leon half screamed as he held the ring in front of my face again, this time it was pointed to the side so that I could see the small white stones that protruded from the metal. Then, he withdrew his hand from my face to give me a chance to speak. At first I wanted to chew him out for hurting my hand, but as usual the strange glow in his golden eyes made me re-think my intentions. So I just gave in.

“I didn't find it. Someone, or something, gave it to me...” I said hesitantly, carefully watching his expression as it went from anger to shock- for a split second I saw fear flash behind his eyes. Then he moved the ring to hold it closer to his face, and he examined every stone that lined the ring. I heard him curse under his breath, as if something about the ring had upset him.

“Did you see who gave this to you? Did you see their face?” Leon asked harshly, before grabbing my right hand again and shoving the ring back into its initial place- he stained a couple of the stones in the process. By that point I'd gotten it in my mind that he was acting kind of strange, considering that it was only a ring- and then I got it in my head that maybe the “Woman” who gave it to me wasn't as harmless as I'd thought she was.

“N-no, I didn't see her. She covered my eyes before I had the chance to. Then she gave me the ring and left...” I said hesitantly, and I saw something dangerous flash behind Leon's golden eyes. The next thing I knew I was being carried back in the direction of the house- I'd been thrown over Leon's shoulder again. Oh, and Jack was slithering top speed behind us to keep up.

“H-hey?! I thought we were going to your garden!” I asked? Once I realized what was going on- oh, and I caught on to the fact that the creeps hand was planted firmly on my butt. I punched him in the back.

“Don't get your panties in a bunch princess, I'll put you down once we're out of the forest. And we were- but now I've changed my mind.” Leon said after feeling me hit him in the back. Then, I started kicking in response. My knee managed to make contact with his chest and knock the wind out of him, then he put me down to catch his breath.

“What the hell was that for?!” He gasped, putting a hand over the spot that my knee had smashed- I could tell by the sound of his voice that he wasn't happy with me. Good, because right now, I was pissed at him.

“If you think your going to drag me out here, put me threw all that, then drag me back without even getting me to your garden- which was the entire reason that we came out here- then your mistaken pal, cause that aint flyin!” I practically growled as I reached out to jab my finger into Leon's chest. Said male stared at my in disbelief- Jack took the opportunity to slither up his shirt and pop his head out of his masters shirt sleeve. For a split second I was sure that Jack had smiled at me- but then I realized how stupid that idea was, because snakes can change their facial expression. Then, I heard Leon laugh at me.

“Oh? Do you think you can handle it?” Leon said darkly as he walked forwards, eventually backing me into a tree. Before I could dart to the side to escape him he slammed his hands into the tree on either side of me, trapping me in place.

“The saber bear... The beast that gave you the ring... You really think that's all you'll encounter out here in these woods? Take a good long look at me doll, because I don't think you realize what your getting yourself into... I don't think you realize just who I actually am...” He said whilst leaning his face closer to mine, until I felt his breath on my face. I wont deny- everything he said to me made me more and more nervous. But, blame my pride, because I moved my head forwards until our foreheads touched, and then I did something that I'd eventually come to regret.

“I don't care who you are, or what lives in this forest- you are not going to waste my time like this! You dragged me out here, you put me through this bullshit, and now your wanna call it quits just because your having second thoughts? Well fuck you then, because I'm not about to go back! So man up, and take me to the god damn garden so we can get this over with!” I hissed, watching as Leon's face went from shock, to anger, until it fell to amusement. Then, before I could say or do anything else, the man hoisted me off the ground, threw me over his shoulder, and started walking back into the woods. This time though, I didn't mind so much- because for once, he was doing what I said. He wasn't being smug, he wasn't making any comments. He was just doing what I asked. The only thing that upset me, was having his hand on my butt again- and I swear, I felt him grope me once or twice.
