Kill Me

***

{Inside The Projection} 

Thud-thud-thud!

Jasmine was utterly confused about what was happening.

"M-M-Malik!" 

One moment she was hugged by him right before the cave.

"What is going on?!

The next, she was on his shoulder as he ran with the speed of ten horses.

"What are you doing?!"

"..."

He didn't answer. His focus on something else entirely.

His legs moved on their own, pounding against the dirt with all their strength.

And though rough, he made sure Jasmine wasn't about to fall off any time soon.

He had her glued to his right shoulder like she was some kind of priceless relic.

His arms ached, lungs burned like a forge, but he didn't stop.

"Malik, put me down!"

Not even when she cried for him to do so.

"I w-won't run away, j-just put me down!"

She began to smack his back with her little fists.
