My Beautiful Dark Curse

Hard to Love

"I'm so glad she is a cat now, I'm so sick of her already!" Jaskier complained as Geralt picked up her dress and picked up the black cat that was purring away.

"Stop sleeping around and telling people how many women you have slept with and you should be fine," Geralt said as he made a fire and started cooking some  meat.

"How can you even stand her she is so obnoxious and loud," Jaskier informed.

"So another you? She is dying and I can't fix her curse by myself I need Yennefer and maybe we can find Ciri. I don't know how long she has left and I want her to live. Her curse is making her aggressive but it's also her personality to and there need to be more people like her out there," Geralt informed.

"She isn't going to live threw this is she?" Jaskier asked.

"No, I highly doubt it but as long as she doesn't kiss, marry or have a child then maybe she will live longer but if she doesn't she could die within hours or even minutes after. The marriage and child part will be easy. A kiss not so much," he informed as Claire rolled over and purred louder.

He actually liked this a lot. He liked her a lot. She was something else beautiful and brave, stubborn to. Not a lot of women were like that because they were taught to do what ever the family wants. Even though she was taught to do the same she was a bad ass.

"Hey there is a fox in the woods," Jaskier said as he saw Geralt was in his own little world.

Geralt looked up for a moment and Jaskier sighed.

"I think that curse is rubbing off on you, it's making you ignore me!" Jaskier complained.

"It's not I prefer her company," he muttered.

"Well I can see that! You talk to her more then you do me," he sighed.

"We should rest for now, we might have to start traveling by night instead of by day. It will be more dangerous but we need to find Yennefer before Claire dies. She might now a way to stop or at least slow it down. She might be able to cure it to or figure out how to," Geralt informed.

"You are really willing to go find her even after she almost killed me?!" He asked.

"I don't want to but I have no choice but to. I just hope she doesn't kill Claire because if she does she will be then next thing I kill," he informed.

Geralt laid down and put Claire on top of him. She was a very difficult person to love but maybe he could actually love something other then Roach his horse. She snuggled in then they went to sleep.

In the morning Clare was human again and he pulled the blanket over her more. He needed a whore. Yep it was getting difficult to keep himself in check because after all having a naked woman sleeping on you did heighten his inner animal. If only Claire was not off limits but either way she wouldn't be interested anyway. She was against men for a reason. She snuggled in more and held on to him tighter hopefully she was waking up because he didn't know how much longer he could hold himself back.

Claire woke up but instead of saying anything she took the blanket with her and started throwing up by a tree.

"Great way to start a day," she sighed as she rested her had on the tree.

Geralt got up and went by her and saw the blood she threw up and some on her face as well.

"How you doing tall dark and quite?" She asked as he sighed a bit.

"Hungry?" He asked.

"Avoiding my question, I asked you first so you answer my question and I will answer yours," she informed.

"Would be better if you had some cloths on and food in your stomach," he stated.

"Geralt seriously you need to worry about your daughter more and not me. I know it's hard for men to watch a woman die but it's a part of life I'm afraid. I can't really eat at the moment either, take care of who ever Jaskier is to you. I would be surprised if you said that he was your lover," she smirked.

"I'm not into men," he informed.

"Don't knock it until you try it as dear old dad likes to say. Plus honestly you might break him to, you are like a bull and Jaskier is a tiny dog," she smiled.

"No wonder not a lot of people like you," he said with a smile.

"Well I speak my mind don't I? Men might live longer if they listened to women more often," she chuckled.

"Come on I will help you get dressed, there should be a town not far from here," he informed.

"Nice, if you were that in need of company my maids were once whores you could have just asked one of them and I'm sure they would have been fun," she informed.

"I'm not..."

"Your eyes give you away, yourself control is extremely amazing though. Thank you Geralt for that," she said as he got up and helped her up.

"Years of training goes a long way," he stated.

"Maybe you can show me your years of training once you break my curse, won't mind that a bit," she said as she he rolled his eyes.

"Talk like that around Jaskier and he would be all over you like a horny dog," he said as she smiled.

She picked up her dress and and dropped the blanket and put on her dress.

"Oh I know, hence why I tell you stuff like that. Not only do you know that I'm joking, your self control is extremely impressive, but you also don't mind it. You also have seen me naked more then any other man so my cat must really like you," she informed.

"Oh she does, I bribe her with pets and she really likes to lay on top of me," he informed.

"Well you are the gentleman, come on let's wake our sleeping prince and head out," she smiled as she tried tying her dress but she couldn't feel her fingers.

She sighed and Geralt went behind her and tied her dress.

"Thank you, witcher must be really kind," she informed.

"Not all of my brothers are and we are mostly outcasts. We don't get happy endings," he informed.

"Well so am I, we make quite the pair now don't we?" She asked as her legs gave out and he caught her.

"Fuck first my hands now my legs! Hopefully this will go away soon, don't want to be caught with our pants down," she muttered.

"Why do I have a feeling you would like that?" He asked making her chuckle at his qestion.

"Because I would, as long as I was with you," she smiled.
