The Prince and The Hunter

Chapter 8

* With tummys full if cooked rabbit. Lucia and Varia walk throw the woods having a bit of small conversation.*

" When you were a kid, did you ever have a big dream?" Lucia asked balancing on a piece of log. " When I was a little girl I didn't dream of becoming anything. To just live, I guess." Varia explained holding on to Lucia's hand so he wouldn't fall. " Yeah but-" " I never had a dream. All I wanted was to stay safe, and take care of my father." Varia said letting go of Lucia's hand as he jumped off the log.

" That sounds like something a parent would want for their child." Lucia told Varia. "Yeah, well my father can be a child sometimes. What was your dream?" She asked looking down at Lucia. " Hmm, when I was a little boy I dreamed of being a farmer!" Lucia happily said with a big grin.

* Varia eyes went wide in shock, but then she started to laugh not expecting his answer.*

" Hehe, you would have been a great farmer." Varia giggled wiping away her tears. " You really think so?" Lucia slightly looked up at Varia. " Mhm." She hummed in response.

* They both looked at each other in comfortable silence, until they heard some screaming coming from behind them.*

" Someone help! Please help!" Said a deep voice.

* Varia got infornt of Lucia getting ready to kill whoever or whatever was coming their way. Soon came a very short man with thick wavy brown hair, white skin, and big blue eyes. He was wearing a long black sleeve shirt, tight white pants, and brown shoes.*

" The wolfs!" He yelled before jumping behind a tree.

* Four big gray wolfs came running seconds after. The stopped looking at Varia and Lucia. One lunged at Varia, but she kicked it causing it to fly back. Varia took out her large knife getting ready to kill them.*

" Don't kill them, Varia!" Lucia yelled behind her. " If I don't then they are going to get us!" Varia explained keeping her eyes on the wolfs. " But can't you just scare them away?" Lucia asked. " Lucia, killing them is better-" "Please!" Lucia begged Varia.

* Varia thought for a quick second before giving in. She look her big knife and gave every wolf a big cut to scare them off. The all ran trying to find a place to heal the wounds.*

" There. Are you happy?" Varia asked putting her knife back. " Yes, thank you!" Lucia said. " Oh, ya saved me. Thank ya!" Said the short man as he tried to take Varia into a hug.

* Varia pushed the short man to the tree quickly taking out her knife, putting her arm on his neck, and putting her knee between his legs.*

" Who are you and what are you planning?" Varia asked keeping her knife next to his right eye. " Aye aye aye, pretty lady there's no need in get aggressive eh!" The man said putting his hands up. " Answer the question!" Varia yelled pushing her arm into his neck.

" Aye, no need to choke me! I'll answer ya. I am Eric Green! I am not plannin nothin, I am just a musician tryin to find my place in this world." Eric explained. " A musician?" Varia whispered to herself a bit confused. "Yea, a musician. I would show ya my flute that I had on me, but I lost it when I was runnin away from them wolfs. But I can give ya a good time by singin for yur and ya lady friend over there." Eric said with a slay grin on his face.

" I am a guy!" Lucia angry yelled, as he crossed his arms. " Eh, that's even better! Don't ya think, pretty lady?" Eric said with a smile as he winked at Varia. " Ugh!" Varia dropped the small man, making him fall face first on the ground. " I need to remind myself to never touch you again." Varia said wiping herself off. " Ow! Rude." Eric carefully got himself back up.
