| I kept one arm around her and quickly grabbed another branch, holding us both up by one arm. | |

| Oh my... that was a close call... I thought, before the branch that Daz had grabbed snapped too. Maybe the tree wanted us to fall. | |

| I narrowed my eyes and let us free fall for a few seconds, so that we were closer to stronger branches. I grabbed one of them. I silently prayed to my mother to not let us fall to our deaths. . | |

| The branch bent a bit, but didn't quite break. Gaaaah, don'tbreakdon'tbreakdon'tbreak, I silently pleaded. | |

| I looked down for another handhold. I let go when I saw one. . waiting. . then I grabbed it. "This is how we're going to get down." I whispered to zero, "Don't worry, okay?" | |

| "Okay..." I trusted that we wouldn't be falling to death now, as long as the tree didn't suddenly catch fire or something. | |

| I kept us going like that until the last branch, about ten feet up, where I had to stop to take a few breaths. | |

| I noticed a squirrel running around on a nearby branch... no, there were two. Five? Ten? Oh please, no. "Are there such things as squirrel monsters?" | |

| "Don't think so. ." I said, and let go of the branch. | |

| A colony of angry squirrels glared at the two beings that had disturbed their tree, and started throwing acorns at them.
Something hit me on the head. Weird... | |

| When we landed, I let go of Zero and summoned my bow and arrows, and nocked an arrow. I aimed up at a squirrel. "I'm a son of Artemis. Stop." I commanded. | |

| Awww. The squirrels frowned, and ceased their attack. Well, except for one really stupid squirrel, who lobbed a pinecone at the kid.
I felt a bit unsteady on my feet after all the jumping and climbing and falling. | |

| I dodged the pinecone, and in the same movement switched my aim to the dumb squirrel. "Scram." | |

| The stupid squirrel stuck its tongue out and, in a very human gesture, tried to flip the guy off. It didn't work so well though, due to the animal's lack of hand coordination.
Hmm. That one little squirrel certainly wasn't very smart... | |

| I released my arrow, and almost instantly had another nocked. | |

| PTA! The squirrel became a squirrel-ke-bob.
Eurgh, squirrel blood was all over the ground now. | |

| I sighed, and pulled out my arrow, cleaning it with a special rag I kept in my pocket, before putting it back in my quiver. My bow disappeared, and I muttered, "Artemis, accept my offering." while standing over the squirrel before moving back towards Zero. "You okay?" | |

| "Yep. I only got hit with one acorn, so I probably won't have to amputate any limbs." | |

| I laughed. "Good." I replied, and checked my hands for blood. Nope, no blood. Good. | |

| I smiled, feeling a little sorry for the squirrel. It was being rude and stupid, though, and kind of deserved it... | |

| "I would have killed a different animal to sacrifice anyway. ." I muttered. "I tend to give my mother offerings when good things happen." | |

| "I assume you mean the not-falling-to-our-deaths instead of the actual falling, right?" | |

| Well, the falling part wasn't so bad for me... I decided not to mention that, though. | |

| I stepped closer to her. "You're a good kisser, you know." I said softly. | |
