The small brunette let out a yelp of surprise when all sorts of strange creatures came bursting out of the suspicious bush. Unsure of what to do, Alex backed up considerably from the steadily increasing group, in fear of one of those creatures latching onto her for some reason. Unfortunately as she did so, she bumped into the very being she was trying to avoid the most. The collision itself was small and completely harmless, but that didn't stop Alex from jumping ten feet in the air before stumbling backwards with shocked eyes. What now stood in front of her looked inanimate for the most part, kinda like those knights that old castles normally had for decoration. This knight was black and gold and a little more than half her height, resembling more of a chess piece now that she looked at it and standing stock still. Was it always here in the first place? No, she definitely would have noticed something like that. Balled fists tightened in front of her chest, knuckles turning white as she slowly inched her way towards the chess piece.

[color=darkgray][b]"...Please wait, my Lad--"[/b][/color] [color=#69cfff][b]"GETAWAYFROMME!!!!"[/b][/color] She squeaked, cutting of the small knight once again as she ran even faster, tripping over her feet a few times before disappearing into the the nearby forest with the chess piece close behind. Her clearly audible wails pierced the heavens as she tried her hardest to get way from the strange talking chess piece, while also trying to stay close to the only people she could trust, seeing as they were all in the same situation.
