Dragon's curse

chapter forty one

I didn’t realize that Jaff was stressed out just like me, I hope he is alright. I do feel safe with Count but for some reason I feel even more safe with Jaff. My dreams have stopped but I can't help but wonder how long it will last for my dreams to be gone. Well, only time will tell and I believe we have quite a bit of time until our. I am sorry, I mean my next mission. I have grown used to Jeff being with me and now he is gone but not forgotten.

There are a lot of people that wont mess with you when I am around, you can say they are either afraid of me or they just don't want any trouble.” Count quickly said proudly.

Ash sighed as she said “Alright, alright.”

Count quickly released the prisoner from the bed and brought him out to his horse while Ash got ready for the road. She quickly cleaned herself up in the bathroom and quickly walked out of the motel to see that everyone was waiting for her.

Ash said “Sorry for keeping so long, I didn't want to leave without cleaning up.”

Count giggled for a moment before saying “It's perfectly fine but we should keep it down, Jaff is still sleeping off all of those pills.”

Ash quickly hopped onto her horse and asked “I hate to ask this but…”

Count finished her sentence, “You want to bring Jeff's body with us.”

Ash nodded her head yes as she watched Count hop off of his horse and walked towards the motel while he said “Alright, Just give me a second.”

Count walked over to the room where Jeff's body was being held, he walked into the room and wrapped Jeff's lifeless body in a large, whit bed sheet to hide him from Ash’s eyes. He slowly picked Jeff's body up into his arms and walked out of the motel, he carefully placed him onto his horse while tying him down onto the horse. Count quickly hopped onto his horse and looked at Ash with concern on his face for a moment.

Ash said with a slight smile, “Thank you Count. I appreciate it.” 

Count sighed as he said “Of course.”

Suddenly, a portal appeared five feet in front of them and out came Jane with a bright smile on her face as she stood in front of them as the portal disappeared out of thin air.

She quickly saw Jeff's body that was wrapped in a sheet sitting on Counts' horse and asked “Hey brother, what is that?”

Count replied venimesly, “You don't want to know.”

Jane sighed as she said “ok fine, I better get into the motel before your guests get mad. I also wouldn’t want you to go out of business because of me or anything like that.”

Count sighed as he said “You never change Jane, even when you hate to do things that you don't want to do but you do it anyways. Why is that Jane?”

Jane said nothing as she walked into the motel while Ash looked at the bed sheet for a second and quickly looked away from the sheet. Count had his horse walk up next to Ash and stopped with Jaffs horse behind him, he quickly untied the rope that connected to Jaffs horse. He helped the rope out to Ash, she gladly took the rope in hand while smiling at Count.

Ash said “Thank you Count, I am glad he is asleep, I didn’t realize that I stressed him out that much.”

Count sighed as he said “No, I don't think it was you that stressed him out.”

Ash looked at Count in confusion as she asked as the horses started to walk down the road, “What do you mean?”

“Call it what you want but I think he had some bad memories that came to his mind and he wanted to forget about them so he took those pills to forget.” Count said in understanding.
