Chapter 51 Could Not Get Enough of Her

“Oh, oh, and that wildebeest, his horns were the coolest….” she went on, telling me another of her adventures.

“You’re not afraid of animals at all?”

“No, not really. Animals aren’t like people. They can in- stinctively tell who is good and who is not. As long as they know we are good, they will be good to us.”

I thought it was an interesting take, but I didn’t say any- thing more about it at the moment. I had another question for her.

“And what are you doing out here in the woods all alone?” I asked her, imagining she’d been out hunting some majestic animal.

Tapping her chin, she said, “Um, have you heard of the Sun Blossom flower?”

I felt my eyes widening, but I said nothing, so she contin- ued.

“You know, the flower that grows on the side of the mountains. I’ve heard they’re beautiful and smell wonderful. That’s why I came. My friend was leading me there….”

“Your friend?” Now, I was confused and glanced around. Had I missed someone? A threat?

She giggled and said, “Yes, my new friend. A little white pony.”

I gasped in relief and held back a laugh. Of course, she’d been chasing an animal. “Those flowers, they’re not easy to get,” I said to her.

The girl nodded. “My mother also said it was a fool’s er- rand, but I love flowers. Don’t you?”

I shrugged and dropped my eyes. I didn’t really care that much for flowers, personally.

But clearly, they meant a lot to her.

The next day, while she was out in the woods doing some- thing, I found a way to get myself out of the makeshift bed and headed back to the place where I’d fallen down the side of the cliff.

I knew I had seen some of the flowers she wanted as I’d been tumbling, and while I was nervous to go back there in case my father’s troops were looking for me, I needed to get her a flower.

It took me a while to climb back up the way I’d come, but eventually, I found one and brought it back to her.

It had taken a toll on me. I’d re–injured myself quite a bit going through all of that trouble, but when I heard her gasp- ing with delight, I knew it had been worth it.

This girl was special. She was the only one that had been kind to me, and I wanted to repay that kindness.

The look on her face when she turned around and saw me standing there with the flower in my hand was priceless. I would never forget it.

“You’re a true friend,” she said, sniffing the flower.

I felt myself recoil and instantly said, “I’m not your friend. I don’t need friends.”
