My Beautiful Dark Curse

Care

"Next time Clare don't come and get me," Geralt said as he looked at her angerily.

He knew it wasn't her fault but now her life span was going to be even shorter. He put her stiff body on some warm rocks hoping that it would help her but just touching her caused her more pain. He didn't have to be a genius to figure it out.

"How is Clare doing?" Jaskier asked.

"She is as stiff as a bord," Geralt informed.

"Makes you really think doesn't it?" Jaskier asked as he looked at him extremely annoyed.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked as he stood up and covered Clare up with a blanket.

"Just saying she knew this was going to happen and she did it for you well more like your child surprise," Jaskier informed.

"Doesn't matter why she did it, it was a stupid thing to even think about doing. She may only have days left to live," he informed.

"Sounds like you actually care for her, you know maybe you should tell her how you feel before she you know," Jaskier informed as he ran a finger across his neck.

"You really want me to kill you don't you?!" He asked.

"No! I'm just saying!" He panicked as Geralt glared at him.

"Leave right now!" He growled making Jaskier leave.

Geralt got undressed and went I to the bathwater with Clare in his arms. He couldn't belive he was scared for her life. For the first time he was afraid he was going to lose her. She knew the risks but he wished she didn't care so much. It was odd that she did, she didn't care about people she couldn't because of her curse but she cared about him enough to almost kill herself to save him.

"Come on Claire I need to find my friend and I know she can help you," he said getting her fur wet and getting the dirt and the blood off of her body.

He massaged her body softly trying not to hurt her more then she already was. She started purring and a light smile came across his face. It was a light purr and he was barely able to hear it but it was enough for him. He laid back and let the water cover them but made sure her head was high enough so she wouldn't drown in the water.

He hated that she grew on him so fast; she was a fighter after all though. He was going to have to work twice as hard to make sure she lived since she was so bull headed.

"I really hate that you are so much like me," Geralt said and she looked at him as if to give him a sarcastic response to him.

I really hate you are so careless and a dumb ass.

"Geralt... why are you bathing with Clare?" Jaskier asked confused.

"She's filthy, she needed a bath and she's to hurt to do it herself," he answered,"Why are you back?"

"I um..." he paused as a girl lached onto Jaskier and another girl stood outside his door smiling.

"Got you a whore," he said as Geralt was not in the mood.

The girl closed the door before he has a chance to to tell her to leave and she walked closer to him.

"Aw cute cat, I didn't expect a man such as yourself to be a cat person. More of a dog person if you ask me," she informed as she tried touching Clare.

Clare tried to hiss at the woman but she was to weak to do so. He didn't even need her to his to make him despise her. Even though the woman was a woman he would normally fuck if he got the chance to he already had a woman with him that needed his help and a several children that needed help as well before they met the same fate as the men in her family. Even though Clare tempted him and flirted with him he knew it was a joke since he wasn't attracted to her sexually. But that was slowly changing and now he knew that she was willing to go as far as he was for a girl they had never met.

"Get out," he said coldly.

"What?" She asked confused.

"I'm not in the mood for you and my cat's name is Clare; she's the only woman I need right now," he said coldly.

"I'm sorry," she said looking at him confused.

"I said I'm not interested," he said as she walked closer to him to try to seduce him but he had more pressing matters to take care of like Clare.

"Fine, I don't sleep with witchers anyway!" She said angerily then left.

He got out of the bath and dried off Clare then himself. He just put his pants on and laid Clare on his chest. He petted her soft black fur until she went to sleep and he went to sleep soon after.

"Fuck," Clare said weakly making Geralt wake up quickly.

She was apparently still sleeping but he carefully moved her off of him so she was laying on the bed next to him and he covered her up. He saw her sails were long and she still had part of her tail. Her teeth were also turning back to there normal shape and size.

It must have hurt her alot but since she was sleeping it didn't bother her to much. She was dead to world and they needed to go so hopefully they could find Ciri and Yennefer.

"Clare," he said softly stroking her long black hair.

"Five more minutes," she said said softly.

"It's time to get up," he said making her head rise before her whole head dropping onto the pillow.

She began to snore loudly and her hair was messy and everywhere. On the pillow, stuck to her face, and on her back. She was definitely not a morning person and it showed.

"Clare there is a rat in the corner," he said trying to spple to her cat side.

"Is it fat?" She asked

"Very," Geralt said as she started snoring again.

"Stab it," she said making him smile.

"Clare come on, we have work to do," he said as she lifted her head and looked at him with her green cat eyes.

"Tell that fat old man no, he maybe a king but I'm his daughter and I say fuck him," she said before falling back to sleep.

He rubbed her bare back and she started purring as he did it. He was tempted to take her right there and then just flip her over and kiss her but he had to control himself. She raised her head again and looked at him with a little bit of a glare.

"Why must you be horny when you're awake? Do you know what time it is?" He asked.

"Time to get up," he stated simply with a light smirk.

"Wait aren't you supposed to be in a prison?" She asked as she rolled over and looked around.

"You broke me out," he explained as she sighed.

"Of corse I did hence why a massive headache. You know you really are good with self control," she smiled as he smiled.

"Have to be to be good at what I do," he informed.

"I bet you are good at a lot of things, maybe you can show me how good you are after you break my curse," she smiled. 

"Is that an offer or a promis?" He asked.

"Depending on what happens between here and there, let's go get the boy before some whore fucks him to death," she said as she almost fell off the bed.
