A hunter's nightmare (rp, private)

^{I was about to say something about the thing that definitely did look like a path rather than more forest, but suddenly I was tripping over myself trying to keep up with him. "Chrissssss slow down!" I wasn't that bothered by the cold that I was feeling, though it was not a temperature that I was okay with. Not only did I hate the cold, but it meant I could possibly have hypothermia or something related to it, meaning Chris would drag me off to a doctor and I really was not fond of the doctors. He knew this. The last time I had been signed into the hospital for longer than a few hours - I had been subjected to stay there for about a week because of something wrong with my body because of a hunt we were on - I had ended up risking my life by sneaking out of the window from the third floor of the hospital. I had ended up breaking my arm and having to go back into the hospital, and they would have handcuffed me to the bed but I had picked the locks the last time they had.}

^{There were more cases than that one of my escapes from the hospital. Chris having been the single witness to all of those escapes and the person who had always tried to convince me to go back into the hospital though he never forced me. That is what I loved so much about my best friend. He had never tried to force me to do anything that I did not want to do. Force was different than his methods though. He would never make me do anything I didn't want to do, but he would try to persuade me to do it or he would beg for me to do it. That usually worked almost as well as if he were to force me because he always managed to make me feel guilty somehow even if he didn't mean to. Chris was a very good negotiator, having made a deal to make me go outside in the snow that one day had been proof. Ever since that winter Chris hadn't tried to get me to go play in the snow with him because he worried that I would get pneumonia or hypothermia, or a really bad cold again.}

^{"I get that you're excited but I can barely walk on my two feet. Unlike you, I am not exactly in a rush to get back either." I admit as I follow Chris towards the trail. Really, I liked the alone time that I was now getting with my best friend. Ever since Jason came along we barely got our own time, because my jealous boyfriend would always interrupt with some 'important matter' that he needed to discuss with me. Of course, that was always him and I arguing about my friendship with Chris and it sucked that he couldn't accept that Chris was a part of my life. I love Jason, but if he ever told me to choose between him and Chris then he would get an arrow in his leg and I would personally pack his bags for him. There was no choice to ever be made. Chris was important to me and I loved him like my family, he was all that I have left after what happened to my family. No one would ever be more important to me than Chris and Jason just needed to accept it and move past it.}

^{I realized my thoughts had strayed past our current task for what must be the millionth time since I woke up. With a slight shake of my head, I look around at our surroundings and notice a few things that looked slightly familiar. When we went into places like the forest I would usually mark trees so we didn't get lost. My marks were usually made by my arrows, unless I had something else to use. A tree nearby had one of my marks on it, which confused me. Had we passed by here before or was it merely a coincidence that my mark was on this tree? I couldn't remember what had happened before I woke up besides having left with Chris for a hunt. What happened on said hunt was a mystery to me. "Chris, look. It's one of my marks. At least I think it is. That's my mark, but I don't remember making it." I tell him, confusion filling up my thoughts as I glance around. The area did look familiar to me.}

^{"Typical Chris." I tease as I finally catch up to him and study the mark on the tree. I marked them specific ways so that I knew which way to move. The mark was a star with one side carved more than the other to show which direction we came from rather than where w were going. I smile a bit as I glance over to Chris and nod. "It's definitely my mark. If we go this way we might find out what is going on. Plus I think one of my spare phones are in your car so I can let Jason know we are fine. I may be mad at him but no one deserves to stress about worrying. Besides, I don't even know how long we were gone. Could be a couple of hours and could be longer." I tell Chris as I begin to walk in the direction that my mark was guiding me. For some reason, and I notice these things because Chris is my best friend, Chris was having trouble going slower. I assumed it could just be an adrenaline rush or the want to get out of this unknown forest where who knows what was in here, but I was not too concerned for it. Not currently. Most things that would be in these forests would come out during the night, not the day.}

^{Thoughts of Chris being sick had now gone away. If he was sick there was no way he would have that much energy, so I must be freezing cold. Great. All we need to add to the adventure is me getting hypothermia. I glance around, looking on the trees for another mark that I would have made to give us a turn or something but so far they kept leading us down the same trail - odd. I never used trails. We never used trails because there could be hikers along those trails, so why would we use a trail now? I close my eyes for a moment and I saw the nighttime, the forest, Chris, and... this thing. It went too fast for me to know what exactly was going on and whatever it was that I saw was gone when I opened my eyes. I looked around and bit my bottom lip in thought. Was I starting to remember or was I just trying to fill in the blanks with scenarios like I tended to do? It was a typical female thing to do, imagine things happening because they don't know what really happened - or just imagining it to make them feel better. I did that quite often.}

^{"Chris... can I talk to you?" I asked softly out of what must seem like no where. I wanted to talk to him about Jason, maybe he could help the situation between Jason and myself. Maybe if he told him that we were just best friends and that nothing is going on Jason would believe me. That, and I needed to talk to my best friend. He was the person I always confided in no matter what and he never judged me. The only reason that I felt even slightly hesitant now was because this matter was about Jason and I which I knew was not his favorite topic - I wasn't stupid I know he doesn't like Jason all that much - as well as it had to deal with our friendship. Not that I would give up my friendship with Chris for anything, but it had to deal with our friendship.}

^{I took a deep breath as I looked at Chris and I chewed on my bottom lip for a moment. I wasn't really sure how to bring on the topic by easing into it so I decided not to. I was going to do what I did in dangerous situations, run right into them without thinking too much about it. I did that a lot, though usually not with conversations. "Jason and I have been arguing a lot lately, and I am sure you have noticed. I know you're not blind or stupid. I'm thankful you haven't tried to murder him though because I know you protective you can get." I was trying to lighten up the conversation as much as I could, because once again I knew that my best friend was definitely not very keen on the whole topic of Jason. Particularly not my relationship with Jason as boyfriend and girlfriend.}

^{"But they just get so... so bad. I mean, when we left I remember having argued with him and now he probably thinks we are dead and the last things I said to him were not nice words, and having thrown a dagger at his head wasn't really a 'love you' kind of goodbye. Anyways, beyond feeling guilty beyond measure, I am really unsure of what to do." I knew that I was slightly rambling about all of this but I didn't know what else I could really do about it. I mean, what would you do about it? I didn't want Chris to feel awkward about this, and I certainly would hate for him to be mad at me for not having confided in him before but I just didn't think he would want to be involved in the whole situation. My whole mess with Jason. "When we argue lately the topic always comes back to you. Well, our friendship. Jason is freaked out because he thinks something is going on between us romantically. He still isn't use to the way we work."}

^{That was my reasoning, but in my heart I knew that I was lying to myself. I still had a slight crush on my best friend and Jason knew it, but Chris did not and he did not ever need to know because that would jeopardize our friendship and I didn't want that to happen. "He gets all upset about it and we're always arguing about it, about you. When we left, he made it pretty clear that he didn't like you, which I know you're not too fond of him either, but it made me mad. Then he went on saying that you couldn't be trusted - hence where I then proceeded to throw daggers at his head because you're my best friend and I love you and no one who says they don't trust my best friend gets away with it - so we got even more into an argument. I hate arguing with him though." I sigh softly as I look up at Chris, tears starting to fill my eyes as I look at my best friend. "What do I do? I mean, I think if we don't get this settled he is going to tell me to pick between you two and there is no doubt that I would choose you over anything any day, but I don't want to loose him if I can help it, Chris."}

^{I was shaking my head since the start of 'pick him' came into play. No. I refused to even consider choosing Jason over my best friend since I could remember. I felt kind of bad as well, because I slightly zoned out at the very end of his speech, trying to rid myself of the excruciating pain I felt suffocating my chest when I thought about what my life would be like without Chris. Chris, who was putting me before himself constantly. Chris, who wanted nothing but the best for me even if I was a stubborn, reckless, hot-headed kind of girl. Just the thought made me want to cry. No. Not cry, it made me want to tear out my hair, fall to the ground at the emptiness that I would feel, it made me want to stab myself in the chest like Juliet had because Romeo died. Well, I wasn't even sure if that was how that had went and I wouldn't do it over a romantic reason, as Chris and I were just friends and we were not romantically involved despite what Jason may think in his twisted little mind.}

^{I suddenly snap back to reality and realize Chris had started to walk again, but I didn't want to walk. I didn't want to go back to where Jason was right now. In this very moment I had the urge to sit down right where I was, look up at Chris and be the stubborn girl that I was. Those actions would have one of many outcomes. He would guilt trip me into getting up and going on, pick me up and carry me - I was not that heavy and he's done it before - keeping me on the trail, take a while as we argued (which would be me arguing and him trying to calmly persuade me to go), or he would actually give in and sit down with me while we just hung out for a while here in the woods. That would be nice. Just Christopher Andrew Allen and me, myself, Skylar Marine Hale. I only wished that our lives were that normal. Normalcy in our crazy lives would be good. Like that time we played scrabble and he kept winning so I ended up throwing the small wooden letters at him with the best pouty face I have ever managed to make in my entire life.}

^{I didn't sit down though. Instead I followed him along the path, like I always would. "Chris, if you think I would even consider choosing Jason over you then whatever it was we were hunting had clearly given you some sort of brain damage. I care about him, a lot. I mean, I can't really say that I love him without feeling like somehow I am lying to him and to myself. Please don't tell him I said that because then I would feel even more guilty, but I'd never lie to you. You're my best friend, you're like the other half of me but I mean that in a completely platonic way because it's not like we were anything more than platonic so I don't know why I even brought that up and I don't know why I even felt the need to say it because I know we are just platonic and you know it but maybe it's because I have to tell Jason we are platonic all the time and you know what I am just going to shut up now." I realized that sometimes I tended to ramble a lot when I was given the chance. Gosh was I always that annoying? How did Jason put up with me? That might be why he was constantly kissing me in the middle of my sentence, because he was trying to get me to shut up. Wait. Forget how Jason put up with me. How did Chris put up with me? He's known me for longer. "Have I always been so incredibly annoying?" I wondered aloud softly, not having meant to say the words aloud.}

^{All thoughts and worry about me and my annoying rambling vanished when I saw the look on Chris' face. Concern flooded through my body, enough to block out any pain that I felt from whatever had happened before I woke up in this forest. I took a few quick steps to get up to Chris, and without a word I wrapped my arms around his body in a means to comfort him. Did he not realize just how important he was? That there was no way he was annoying? I mean, sure, I got annoyed when he tried to hold me back from doing something but that was only when I was about to jump head first into something dangerous and he was only trying to protect me from getting hurt so I wasn't that upset about it even though I knew that I probably should be. I smile a bit, even if he couldn't see it as I keep my arms around his body.}

^{"I can't always be the one who feels the weight of everything and breaks down. It's perfectly normal, actually, most hunters would be surprised you lasted this long. Don't worry about it, Chris." I tried to make it no big deal even though everything radiated worry from me. I was very worried about him, and his suddenly flare in temper and the way he was suddenly walking way too fast for me to keep up. I mean, I knew with heels I was walking a bit slower but even then he was walking really fast and it was hard to keep up. "Though I am not sure I want to be here to face whatever it was that got the upperhand last night, so we should probably get going soon. However, I think we should find a park sometime and hang out there, just me and you. No Jason. No monsters. Just us." I add as I slowly draw back from him, but only enough so that I can look up to see his face. He didn't seem to realize just how special he was to me.}

^{My reaction to his smile was immediate. I smiled right back at him, happy he seemed to be doing a bit better now. I didn't like it when Chris got sad, almost as much as I liked Crowley - and I hated Crowley - not that it made any sense. This moment reminded me of what my mother had told me once, well, more like what I had overheard her saying to my dad. She had been telling him she wouldn't mind if I married Chris and didn't become a hunter like her and the rest of the family. I had pondered over that possibility for years, as I had been around thirteen at the time. One time, that didn't sound like such a bad idea. I was really considering giving up the idea of becoming a hunter and having a normal life, and being with Chris - though at that time I hadn't thought much about if it would be a friendship or more - which all changed when Crowley came and slaughtered them all. Something about my bloodline. I had almost died, but I had managed to sneak out through the underground tunnels and I had made it to Chris when they died, which was around Freshman year. I remembered curling up next to Chris' side on his bed, crying into his shoulder until I fell asleep.. Waking up to his parents the next morning was more than a little awkward.}

^{"Good. So we shall plan it." I say with a smile as I tiptoe a little to press a quick kiss to his cheeks. It had been a reaction, and I had done it before I could stop myself. When I was flat on my feet again - well in the heels - I blushed a bit and looked down. I knew that this was not good, and I knew that I needed to push my past feelings for Chris aside, but it was hard when he looked at me like that, with that glowing smile, and those bright blue eyes that I loved so much. He was my best friend, and he was always there for me. Without him I would be in this world of rage and despair, hurting everyone and everything in my path to get to Crowley for killing my family, and the angel who killed my older sister Ashely.}

^{I giggled at Chris' words and glanced up to look at him. A smile tugged at my lips until I could no longer hold it back. "You planning on a tickle fight, Chris? Because I will not hesitate to beat your butt if you tickle me." I joke as I press the palms of my small hands flat against his chest. Instead of pushing him away gently like I had been planning, I watch my hands as they bunch up his shirt and pull me closer to him. It was almost as if my hands had a mind of their own, but I knew that was crazy so I was trying to figure out why I would do that. "You know, you're really warm. It's comfortable." I murmur softly, the teasing out of my tone as I felt the heat radiating from his body onto my cold hands that were bunched within his shirt. I release his shirt, but keep my hands on his chest as I look up at him and bite my bottom lip softly. It was one of my worst habits - even though Jason was constantly telling me that he loved it when I bit my lip - that I did when I was nervous or thinking or just because I did it.}

^{"You're always comfortable. Like a big teddy bear." I add, being a little more playful as I look up at him through my eyelashes as I bit my bottom lip again. Being he was so tall, my head was tilted up slightly so that I could see him, but it didn't stop me from having to look up through my eyelashes. I release my bottom lip and smile a little at Chris as I began to take notice of how warm his body was when it was wrapped around mine. It was almost really hot, but at the same time it was comforting and I loved the warmth he brought with him.}

^{"You're a big teddy bear, that is right! However, you're more like Yogi bear or something. You're cuddly and comfortable. You're not a big mean teddy bear." I tell him with a smile as I reach up with one hand to poke his cheek. It moved underneath my finger like any cheek would and I giggled upon contact. I smile up at him as I look at my best friend. He really was an amazing human being and I couldn't believe I got lucky enough to have him as my best friend, the person who is always there for me. "Not a bad teddy bear though, you're my teddy bear." I tell him almost childishly as I look at him, giving him a slight playful pout and tuning my tone to match that of a child's, "No one else can have my teddy bear. You're mine." I tell him as I look up at him softly. I missed being like this with Chris, being playful and silly. It was nice to act like silly teenagers again who worried about homework instead of worrying about death and monsters.}

^{I giggled a bit at his playful roar that slipped past his lips, but then I felt fingers on my hips and I let out a surprised noise that was a mix between a moan and a gasp. My eyes widened from the surprise but then I realized he had done it on purpose to get that noise to come out. I give him a playful glare and gently slap at his chest "That isn't very nice Teddy Bear. Scaring someone like that is not nice at all. It tickles! You know how ticklish I am, Teddy Bear." I tried to sound like a little girl who was scolding an older kid for taking their toy away from them. I couldn't keep the act up though and began giggling as I looked up at Chris and into his blue eyes. It was nice to just be having fun with my best friend like this. I had missed these days with him, and having them made them all that much more special. All of my worries were currently washed away. "I can't be mad at my Teddy Bear though, you're a cute and cuddly Teddy Bear that keeps me warm." I tell him as I slip my hands under his shirt playfully and press my cold hands to his abdomen and giggle. "Is that cold, Teddy Bear?" I ask, hoping for some kind of response from him like the one he had somehow gotten to slip out of my own mouth.}

^{I smiled widely at his reaction, proud to have caused it. "Angel? Sorry, those don't exist. Try again." I joke when he stops himself from saying something. This was one of the rare moments I had with Chris, and I was planning on making it last for as long as I possibly could. "Maybe you are looking for something a little more real, because we all know Angels don't exist." I add playfully as I wiggle my fingers softly against his abdomen. He was really warm for one, and my hands were really cold, and I knew how sexual it would look to normal people but this was Chris and I. This was normal. Though I knew if Jason saw us he would be more than a little pissed off.}
