Shady

Ky shivered, glancing behind her again to be sure Stone Mother hadn’t caught up. She hadn’t. Ky glanced back at the giant before her and nodded. “Ah… you think… you ...

“Why?” she sniffled.

She wiped at her face, forcing herself to calm down, and gulped, “…yet?”

Ky blinked, surprised by the offer. “You’d… do that?”

Ky bristled, wiping at her face. “I’m going to move fast.”

She wiped at her face miserably, looking over her shoulder again. “C-Caracal Keep.”

Ky forced herself to take a deep breath and nodded. “Yes please. I-I don’t- I—“

(Ahhhh!!!! I just asked Girl to make it official and she said yes!!!!) Ky was sobbing. “There’s no way to make her stop?”

She cried harder. “I have to run now? Forever? I can’t go home?”

Ky nodded miserably, wiping at her eyes as more tears spilled from them. She was terrified. Why had she left the Keep?

“S-stone Mother.” She cast a fearful look over her shoulder, half-expecting her to be right behind her.

(Haha I sent it to all my science nerd friends) Ky squeaked, not sure what to say. Would it be offensive if she said yes? It’d clearly be a lie ...

Ky was still trembling violently, but resisted the urge to run away. “K-Ky… please don’t h-hurt m-me.” (Hecccc that video is trippy)

Ky gaped. “You… c-c-can t-talk?”

The horse tripped and stumbled forward, snorting and tossing his head. Ky screamed again, terrified. Monsters behind; monsters ahead? Where did that leave her? Fucked. It left her fucked.
