Bloody Hands [2]

I was still staring at the girl who had her hand in my chest.

"So, how do you fee-"

She was not in a talking mood. How do I know that? Because she ripped her hand out of my chest and slashed upwards with really sharp claws.

She actually managed to take off my head. Not surprising since I was made of wood, but still somewhat impressive for her small frame.

What did I do about that? I just grew a new head and gave her a deadpan look. "You might want to calm down a-"

Once again, she wasn't in a talking mood. This time, she didn't take off my head but she DID claw my face off completely.

I, of course, just grew a new one again and continued my deadpan look.

The girl jumped at me and started slashing with her claws. I just began back stepping away from each strike she went for. The look on her face remained emotionless as she kept trying to slash me.

I looked at Yu as I kept dodging, who had sat down on the bed. "Are you gonna help?"

"I'd rather watch, but thanks for asking."

Xiang Yu, you are a freaking Saint for loving this woman.

Back to the hysterical hybrid that is slashing at me, I looked at her as she kept slashing and decided to try talking to her again.

"Listen, you really need to calm down. You're-" This

time, she broke just my jaw off.

Okay, diplomacy is an obvious failure here.

After my new jaw formed, I turned to my water element and actually jumped into her next attack. When her hands splashed inside me, I changed to my metal element and they stayed there.

"This stops now," I firmly said as I crossed my arms and glared at the girl.

Her face didn't change. She just tilted her head and opened her very dry-looking lips. "You... no dead?"

"No, I'm not," I replied. At least she's talking now. "And you're gonna stop trying to do that."

"You... Make me... dead?" She asked, or at least i think that was a question.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Here," I turned to my water element and she pulled her hands free, some of the blood on them from before gone now. "You're thirsty, right?"

I turned my hand to stone and created a bowl that I filled with water. Turning to my tree form, I offered the bowl to her as she looked at her free hands. She looked at the bowl and hesitantly moved her hands towards it. After stopping and almost backing away a couple of times, she finally grabbed the bowl and started drinking.

"There. Isn't that better?" I asked as she finished her water. She looked at her cup and frowned a little. "Want more?"

The girl looked at me and offered the cup again. "More... drinky stuff."

Wow ,I can't imagine the life she must have had for that to happen, her speech comprehension is awful.

I just filled the bowl again and she drank it quickly. "So, are you hungry?" I asked and she looked at me with a confused expression as she finished drinking.

"Do you want something to eat?" She nodded and I looked at Yu. "Do you have something to give her?"

"You're joking, right?" She asked with a frown.

"Anything I make is not edible, and I don't have any seeds to create fruit from, so..." I trailed off, letting her know about the situation.

"So you expect me to actually get her something?"

"Tell you what, you get her something and I'll clean the blood and dirt off the bed."

"Bold of you to assume you're not doing that for free since you're the one who brought that girl here."

"Meat," the girl suddenly spoke, making us look at her as she grabbed her stomach. "Want meat. Moo meat."

"Moo meat?" I asked, looking at Yu in confusion.

"She probably means cow meat," Yu replied with a sigh before getting up and shaking her head. "Fine. I've actually wanted to get some meat myself. This place better be clean by the time I get back!" She yelled as she went out of the cave.

Looking at the girl who was still holding her stomach, I knelt down to look her in the eye and asked, "So, what's your name?"

The girl tilted her head again. "Name?"

This is gonna need some work.
