01 ✝ Checkmate
Who: Maron Kusakabe and OPEN
When: Spring 6
Where: The woods outside of town
What: Maron ran into some unhappy wood wolves
Rating: PG
What had started as a pleasant walk through the woods and another opportunity to find the way to return home had now become something more dangerous. Maron ran through the woods, pushing branches aside and getting whipped by the leaves as they lashed at the girl trying to escape.
“Why are they chasing me? I thought they were supposed to be friendly?”
Maron spoke to herself as she continued her run. She was fast but the pack of Wood Wolves behind her was faster and they were gaining ground. She considered that if she could transform into Jeanne she could use her ‘rebound ball’ to escape from the animals and hide in one of the nearby trees, but she hadn’t been able to transform into her alternate self since she arrived.
Alright! It was just down to her then! She might not have magical powers but she was still:
Strong and serious...
Matchless and marvelous...
Energetic and fearless!
Maron stopped running and turned back to the pack surprising all of them as she leapt into the air and through a series of gymnastic flips ended up behind them. As the wood wolves skidded to a stop and tried to recover their previous advantage Maron took off running again. At least now she was heading in the direction back toward the village. She just had to find some way to give these creatures the slip...

"Thank you. And I hope you get to see whoever is waiting for you again, too."
Maron definitely had someone waiting for her back home. Hell, probably more than one person. It was just an asusmption Zed made, but one he felt confident in.
Maron wasn't a bad person. Neither was he, but she seemed to be better at it.
"You should go back to town, now. It would really be rather silly, to run away from those wolves and get caught by them all over again. I, for one, do not want our valiant efforts to go to waste!"
Zed drew himself up again, proud of himself for pulling it together and changing the subject, under the circumstances. And then, because he had rather deliberately not included himself in this piece of advice, and figured that Maron probably noticed:
"I am...going to return another way. It will distract them, and maybe force them to divide their numbers in pursuit of both of us."

She did have friends who would be worried. Maybe even parents, no she tried not to think about that. Thinking of them was too painful.
Instead she gave Zed a quick nod. Maybe that was for the best. With both of them going in different directions it would be difficult for the wolves to keep up or even settle in on one target.
"Be careful on the way back."
no subject
But, he knew she would be. And from what little he knew of the forest so far, they weren't far from town.
They were a little bit further from the beach, but that was his real destination in any case.
Tired, with a lot to think about, and willing to think about it so as to ignore the pain in his leg, Zed set off into the woods.
