He zipped past the trees, swung from branches to gain some height, flipping backwards as he flew through the air. Once he landed on his feet, Zestasia kept running forward, aiming to get to the source of everything that’s been happening to the area. As he managed to get about halfway to the finish line - potentially even closer - Zestasia stopped in his tracks, skidding about three paces. He decided to look back. He didn’t know why but something told him that this really was a bad idea. The others weren’t following him like he thought (and hoped) they would. Perhaps they were being the smart ones. [color=daa520]“Maybe I should head ba--”[/color] He was interrupted by someone suddenly tugging at the collar of his jacket, whipping him back with such an alarming force that it had literally knocked the wind out of his body, forcing the teen to lose a breath or two. It was, as soon as he was able to catch his breath, he was able to see who the person was that had jerked him back so suddenly. [color=daa520]“You..”[/color] Zestasia said, coughing. He couldn’t remember her name, or if she even said who she was, but one thing that was clear to young Zestasia was that she was P-I-S-S-E-D. And that made Zestasia nervously gulp, afraid to say anything. He had never seen such a look on someone’s face before. [color=daa520]“I, uh..”[/color] Get it together. Say something and it’ll be all fine. [color=daa520]“I’m not a [i]boy[/i]. I’m practically a [b]man![/b]”[/color] Zestasia hissed back. He might’ve put on a good showing that he wasn’t afraid that it was taking everything he had not to collapse right then and there. [/indent][/indent][/color]
