Visions Through Orpiment Eyes

Chapter 2: Train Your Human Tuesday

Jasper

I woke up, still in the forest. With no idea how I had gotten here in the first place. I sighed, at least my headache had started to subside and I could actually think clearly. My back still ached- it seemed more inflamed than earlier. I looked around myself to find that fine lines of grass, or possibly rope, bound my hands. I stared at the tiny knots; it seemed like the string was barely holding onto my wrists. I tried to move forward and winced as my shirt edged against the inflamed wounds on my shoulders and back.

Too bad I don’t have a first aid kit with me, I chuckled.

“Stop moving.” I flinched as I heard a firm voice from the ground, close to my left side. I looked over to see the humanoid.

I guess I was not hallucinating earlier... It was only three or so inches tall, maybe less, with fluffy shoulder-length hair and animalistic ears. It had “hands” or- what resembled hands… they were more paw-like in shape. To match, it had digitigrade-like legs and soft clawed paws instead of feet. The main defining feature though, was its glare. A mix of intelligence, hatred, and fear. I recoiled as this thing seemed to stare daggers through me. It was an odd feeling to endure- Such a small creature holding emotions much too big for its presence. I was still observing it in awe as it seemed to wait for my response.

I choked up a bit as I attempter to get my words out, “Um…” I awkwardly held my hands up to show they were still bound. Although I could easily break them, it seemed more respectful to wait. They gave me an odd look.

“What- what do you want with me?” I asked. I noticed that anytime I moved or spoke it flinched, keeping a hand on what I assumed was a weapon at its side. I did not fully understand their skittish behavior, as they could have run away the moment I slumped over. I had never seen such a small humanoid before, and I wasn’t sure if it was going to grab its friends to eat the flesh right off me. I wouldn’t be able to do much against a group effort in my current state.

“I need…” they hesitated, a mild look of disgust in their eyes,

“I need your protection.”

I looked at them confused. They live in this forest right? Why would they need me…? I chuckled, which caused them to tighten their grip on the weapon in their holster. I continued in explanation,

“What use would I be to you? Anyways, I’ll die of infection before I can assist you with anything.” I turned slightly to show the bloodied wound on my back. They looked… flabbergasted? Annoyed? I couldn't tell. It seemed I was having trouble reading them.

“Fine, you help me, I help you.” They growled, “I know what kind of plant to use for your wounds and where water is… I can keep you alive and you can use your… size… “ -they looked me up and down, eyes still piercing into me-

“To keep me alive.”

What?

What the hell does that mean?

It sent shivers down my spine to hear such familiar words.

I'm not as useful as you think I am.

I was starting to worry they were going to use me for something that might put me in more danger than I already was in.

Why is their phrasing so odd?

I could not follow whatever thought process they were going through. They were still shaking, or trembling. It was hard to see. Maybe they thought I would kill them? I cocked my head slightly.

“So…” I held up my bound hands, “Can I get rid of these?” They nodded slowly, and pulled out their knife to cut the ropes. I was too impatient to wait as I ripped the thin ropes away from my hands. They looked somewhat dismayed at the fact that the ropes were futile.

Sorry, I can wait for you.

I promise

Don't let it be a lie this time

Fawn

You have got to be kidding me, I thought. Between the trembling, my heart rate being through the roof, and still registering that my only family member was killed in front of me- I was feeling… well.. Like shit.

I looked up at the gigantic form in front of me, bloodied and tired looking.

Just how much blood has it lost?? It was definitely more than probably was safe. It was taking all of my willpower to avoid locking my knees and falling to the ground, or simply running away from a creature who could easily kill or harm me.

Even not on purpose, it’s still going to be a danger. Great, great…

I made a mental note to train the human to never grab me. So just how dangerous would a giant with a thorough amount of blood loss be…? There were pros and cons, but I would have to take the gamble.

I pointed west. “We should head that way. There’s a stream and the plants growing in it should disinfect and assist in healing your wounds.” He nodded but seemed hesitant to move. My stomach sank.

“Can you walk?” I asked. It wasn’t as if I could carry him there. He groaned, which sounded more like a low growl then I would have liked. It was still taking my brain a couple tries to register that any noise the human made would be much louder than I would have appreciated, even if he was attempting to be quiet. I made another metal note to try and avoid flinching when he spoke.

“I can make it… er… probably.” He slowly moved to a kneeling position, clouding out the speckled sunlight and looming over me. I still flinched but I was amazed to find I managed to keep the composure to even speak to this thing. It seemed he had figured that he would need to carry me, which I was not adamant about… although I would much rather be high up than underfoot. He held a hedgehog sized hand out onto the ground for me to clamber onto. I stared, waited, and looked up at the scratched and tired face of the human in front of me. In comparison to his scratched arms and legs his hands were slender and relatively smooth besides hard calluses on his left hand. They still had smudges of blood but were oddly unscathed. I sighed, trying to bring my heart rate down and preparing myself for the sense of vertigo that I would undoubtedly have to deal with once he started moving.

“I won’t hurt you.” he said, I chuckled under my breath in response.

Yeah right, beanpole. I almost growled.

I climbed onto his palm, and fingers a bit longer than I was tall twitched slightly at my movement. It was an odd, fleshy, warm surface. What disconcerned me most was the sense of his slow pulse. It was enough to have him in front of me, it was another thing entirely to be sitting in his hands. Hands that could squeeze the life out of me, hands that could snap bones, rip apart limbs-

I tried to stop thinking about various nightmarish circumstances as I was still mentally preparing myself for him to start moving. When he did I was quickly brought back to reality. I propped myself kneeling down to stay balanced, as I assumed I would not be able to stand very well with how quick he was moving. It felt as if I was being pressed further into his palm as gravity took me down whilst he moved upwards. It made my head spin with the sense of movement but eventually he stopped with his hand carefully set next to his right shoulder. I stepped off onto his shoulder and kneeled in front of his neck, the connection point between his neck and shoulders had a natural dip with his collarbone, making an easy spot to sit in. His pulse was louder now that I was next to his carotid artery. I hated the feeling of obvious life right next to me, like a stupid mountain of flesh. “You good?” he questioned, I flinched at the volume as well as the vibrations from his vocal chords, which resonated through my bones.

“I’m fine- just, speak quieter please.” I responded, rubbing my ears a bit from the sudden noise. He hummed a low sound in response, which although was quieter, still made me flinch. I could feel so much vibration within his throat and I tried not to think about how the face above me could swallow me whole. He waited a moment before standing up. As he stood I had to hold onto the collar of his shirt to keep a proper hold to avoid falling. His full height was more than high enough for me to break a couple limbs if I fell. I, again, tried to slow my breathing.

“This way is west right?” He asked, more quietly this time. I nodded yes then realized he would not be able to see my motions, “Yes, that’s the way.”

As we walked I took note of the human’s point of view, he was high up enough that it would have been impossible for him to have seen Father's camouflaged form. I hadn't even told this human that he killed someone… What was I supposed to say to him,

Hey you murdered my father.

I sighed.

This sucks.

This sucks so much.

It may have been worse to just ignore it, but really, how was I supposed to bring it up. I chuckled at the morbidness of the situation. Maybe I could bring it up once he noticed the large blood stain on the sole of his shoe.
