"Hey," Joanna snapped her finger to bring him out of his daze. "Say something because your silence is not gonna save you today," Joanna\'s pouty lips made Kayden press his temple.

He didn\'t want to hurt her and neither was he ready to reveal the truth to her.

For some reason the adage you cannot eat your cake and have it all came to his mind.

But he didn\'t care about that. These two things are important to him and he wants to satisfy both conditions.

[Please save me, I really need help]

Kayden silently cried for help as he stood there lost at what to do. He was scared he might lose his mind if this went on.

"I… I…,"

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The roar of an animal made them turn at the same time and face behind them with their clenched fist at their front.

As she focused her gaze on the direction the heavy footsteps and grunts came from the white notification box popped up.

<Analyzed activated>

The system scanned all the things in the direction she focused her gaze on.

<A wild boar>

Joanna\'s lips curved into a sly smile when she saw that she was worried for nothing. She cracked her knuckles and legs and got ready to attack.

"It\'s a wild boar," Joanna announced as she tilted her neck and looked at him.

"Hide behind me…," Kayden paused when realisation dawned on him that the one standing beside him wasn\'t that weak Joanna in the past.

Protecting her had long become a habit that even though she showed her fighting prowess not long ago he forgot about it.

He smirked, "I almost forgot that the one standing beside me is our badass Boss Lady".

"You are…,"

"I haven\'t had blood for the entire day so why don\'t we play a game," Kayden cut in, not letting her finish her sentence.

He turned and looked ahead of him; the direction the roar came from to be precise.

As the wild animal drew closer, his roar grew louder. The snapping of plants caused by the pressure of his weight became more pronounced.

"What game is that?" Joanna questioned, her eyes sparkling as she waited to hear what naughty plan he had in mind.

"The game is quite simple," Kayden started. "Anyone of us who catches the wild boar first can ask anything from the loser," Kayden gave her a sly smile.

"You can even ask me to make love to you in the wild and I won\'t reject…,"

"Why is your head always filled with such thoughts?" Joanna demanded as she rolled her eyes.

"You…,"

"Watch and see how I will make you lose to me," Joanna ceased his momentary distractedness and ran about a few steps away from where he stood.

"You cheated," Kayden yelled with pouty lips. He raced to catch up to her but Joanna started running.

The wild boar on seeing them turned and leapt in the air.

As the animal ran for dear life the leaves rustled underneath its powerful feet. Any plant it stomped on was not saved. This action was usually accompanied by a loud crack.

To catch up to her Kayden leapt in the air now and then. In a matter of ten minutes, he had outrun her.

"If you dare to lose I am gonna make sure I ask you to marry me tonight," Kayden\'s excited voice echoed in the forest.

"Your wish," Joanna said, in the same manner, she always did.

<Average speed activated by user>

The white notification box popped up again and almost immediately the rate at which she ran doubled.

As they raced fearlessly on the dark forest illuminated by the shiny moon, Joanna could hear squeaks and chirpings of birds.

Apart from the mouse, squirrels and birds, other animals ran for safety due to the disturbance in the usually peaceful forest.

"Now it\'s obvious who is gonna be the loser between the two of us," Joanna, who was now the one leading, turned and smiled at Kayden.

She didn\'t stop running as she talked.

"Get yourself ready to be severely tortured by me because you are not gonna have it easy today," Said the grinning Joanna.

Because her gaze was focused on him while running, she didn\'t see that there was a huge tree in front of her.

She was close to bumping her head against the tree trunk when Kayden noticed this.

Ugh***

Kayden groaned. Before Joanna realised what had happened he was gone from where she last saw him.

If not for the cold breeze that brushed past her she wouldn\'t have noticed that someone ran past her.

She turned to look at where he was going but only for her head to bump hard into something.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The loud bone crack was accompanied by Kayden\'s slight groan.

Joanna\'s eyes widened when she realised that it was Kayden\'s chest her head banged against.

"Are you ok?" Joanna grabbed him before he could fall. He slowly lowered himself while grabbing his chest tightly.

"I think I suffered a fracture," said Kayden as he closed his eyes to endure the pain. "It hurts like hell, help me to massage it," Kayden held her hand and rubbed it against his chest.

Fear crossed Joanna\'s face the moment she heard that he fractured his ribs.

"Why… why did you have to carelessly jump in?" Joanna asked with furrowed brows.

"Aish…. It hurts a lot," Kayden winced as he continued using her hands to rub his chest.

"If you asked me why I saved you, I wouldn\'t be able to give you a satisfying answer," Kayden coughed while holding his chest.

"The truth is because it was you, I didn\'t even need to think much. All the thought in my mind was to save your delicate head from banging against the tree," Kayden said weakly. He coughed again.

The grease on Joanna\'s forehead faded away instantly. She used her fingers to massage the part of his chest her head bumped into.

Two minutes later she was still massaging his chest when a hiss coming from behind caught her attention.
