Chapter 33 : The Deal

"First, get them to go here, and then we will show you"

"But are you sure? I don't think I can trust you... What if you do something bad to them" I said, having a second thought,

"Don't worry princess, just because we look like this, doesn't mean you can't trust us..." The winged one said as he flew behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. I shivered due to fear and moved away.

"Well that's cute..."

I stumbled infront and landed on the horned one, in which his fast reflexes caught me.

I look up at him and maann... He tol.

But then I felt something... Something I can't... Explain...

"Done admiring me, princess?"

My eyes went wide and moved away again. The others laugh while I blushed.

Wait... Why am I...

But then while I was thinking, I heard a meow from a distant.

Xin!

The wind then became strong and took me away. The five saw me getting dragged by the wind and tried to get me. But it was so strong and blew them away.

I heard the horned one shouted, "Don't forget about the deal!" He said before flying away.

I then passed out because of the wild ride.

I opened up my eyes and saw Xin infront of me.

I sprung up and take a look around. The creatures were nowhere to be found. It took some minutes to realize and remember what happened.

I then glance at Xin who was looking so worried.

"Are you alright? They didn't do anything bad to you? They didn't hurt you, aren't they?" He asked while searching my body for some bruises or wounds.

"I'm fine, they didn't do anything" I assured him,

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Oh thank god!" He said in relief, but then switched into a worried look again, "What were you doing in there?! Did you know that those things are dangerous?!"

"I... I know but-"

"But what?"

"If I didn't go there, Floret would be hurting everyday!" I said,

"Floret?" He asked, confused.

"Yes! Floret-" but then I realized... Floret... Floret... FLORET!

I searched my pocket immediately and felt no one there.

FLORET!

"SHE- SHE'S NOT HERE- I-"

But then we heard a high-pitched voice screaming,

"Aahhhhhhhhhhh!"

"THAT'S FLORET!" I said,

Xin stood up and go to the direction where the scream was,

I also stood up and ran behind him.

As we were running, we saw a big flower monster infront. And on its hands, there was Floret, struggling to get away.

The monster then said "Little flower, so cute, so yummy"

It opened its mouth and was ready to eat her, but it was stopped by Xin snatching my little flower.

He then give her to me and cover us up.

"Nom nom?" The monster said,

"No. No nom noms" said Xin.

"You know each other?" I asked,

Xin sighed and nod, "Yes"

I looked at him confused, "How?"

"I saved him from a market place, he was held as a servant in there. I saw how they treated him. It makes me hurt and mad at the same time. That's why I bought him, and bring him here. But I didn't know he was... You know, stubborn and a little pain in the ass but... I managed to keep him, and I, kinda get used. Plus, he was a big help for me to guard the forest from illegal activities" he explained,

"Oh..."

"Is that Floret?" He asked and pointed at her,

"Uhm... Yes... OH! OH MY GOD! FLORET ARE YOU OKAY?" I said realizing that she was snuggling on my arms.

"N... Nwo! Hwe twied to eat mwee!" She said crying,

"Oh, uhm I'm so sorry about that" Xin apologized, "He's just... Uhm... I didn't know how to explain but... You know... A little to..." He then pointed at his head, and smiled awkwardly,

Floret seems to caught what he means and just nod, still frowning.

"So, that's the reason why you were in there with those things?"

"Yes" I nodded,

"Why?"

"Because Floret said that they keep on talking to her in her mind and won't stop. It keeps on bringing her some headaches, and I just can't let it be like that"

"I see... What did they want tho?"

"They made a deal"

"What deal?"

"They said that if I get the others go to them, they will show me whom they really are"

Xin became quiet after I said that.

"Why? Is there something wrong? Should I not do it?" I asked getting worried.

Xin knows what's happening, yet he's still having second thoughts.

But then...

"Do it"
