The Woods {Kaylor}

Bear.

Karlie's pov:

"The Nakoons?!" I sit up abruptly "and you didn't tell me?! What the hell did you do to get them after you?!" I yell as fear and anger take over my brain and control me

My questions are answered with only soft cries "Karlie p-please don't yell at me" she cries "It's not like I meant for it to happen can we please just talk about it tomorrow? Please." She begs into the darkness that surrounds her shaking body and my stiff one

Fuck I made her cry. I take a deep breath before answering her with a gentle 'ok' and laying back down slowly. Hours later I still find myself wide awake. My fears have really gotten into my head as the thought of the Nakoons eating me alive swirls in my mind. They'd probably start with my toes or fingers so they can go as slowly as possible, and make me suffer. I squeeze my eyes shut trying to rid of such bloody images. I turn over to face a sleeping Taylor. How can she sleep knowing people are after her, wanting to take her life? I watch her chest rise and fall as the faint sun light shining through the window makes her skin glisten. I take this time to take in her perfect features. Her long, black eye lashes, her perfectly shaped, pink lips, her sun kissed skin, her curves that the covers leave bare, her pretty hands that hold a delicate touch. She's just so..beautiful.

"Mm" she suddenly moans and her eyes flutter open

I'm too stupid to turn around

"Were you..watching me?" She asks slowly in a raspy voice

Well that's sexy. "No" I lie "I just heard you shift so I turned to face you"

She stares at me for a second "Oh"

I immediately stand up and try to hide my blushing face, by finding herself and I clothes for the day. I clear my throat "So uhm, you can take the first shower. Here are some clothes" I set the folded cotton on the bed

She finally sits up and yawns, followed by stretching out her muscles "What time is it?" She rubs her eyes and must I say it looks insanely adorable

I glance at the old, battery powered clock that ticks above the nightstand "7:18" I say

"Oh. I figured it'd be much earlier. It's very dark out-" she's interrupted by a loud boom of thunder

She jumps towards me with a gasp leaving her lips

Rain begins pouring down very rapidly as the sound echoes throughout my small cabin. Fast, hard scratches are heard, coming from the bedroom door

Taylor's grip on my shirt becomes stronger

"It's probably just shadow" I laugh

She blushes "Oh" she immediately rips her hand away

I pace to the brown, wooden door and pull it open, making a creaking sound

Shadow bolts in and jumps onto my bed, making himself comfortable. Bear calmly walks in and takes a spot next to me

Taylor laughs "Shadow is me. And you are Bear" she compares with a cute smile on her face

I smile too

It's silent, despite the storm that rages outside

"Do you think it's safe?" She breaks the silence

"What?" I raise a brow

"To shower?" She stares at me

I blink "Yes..it's highly unlikely that you'll get struck by lightning, angel" I smirk after reading her thoughts

She looks down "Sorry I just-"

"Worry" I interrupt

She looks back up
