"Sure, I can do that," I said as I let Jilly take the lead, and I stayed in the back with Nushi and the Cerberus girls between us.
If there was ever a place to try to attack, it would be from behind. There was a feeling of tension when we got into the forest. I already had both the Loose Leaf Dagger and my flame sword out and on.
"Why do we have to come? My feet hurt!" Nushi complained, and I gazed down at them and sighed.
"Why did you wear shoes like that? You know we were going for a walk," I said, shaking my head.
Nushi was about to complain to me again, but Jilly hissed at her.
"Quiet! Take your shoes off and carry them! No, just climb on my back, and we will pick up speed," Jilly said as she was looking around, but I could hear movement.
"Get on her back, and girls transform so you can keep up. I will fight off whatever is coming if they get close," I said as I started to run with the other, but I could hear growling and yipping like dogs.
