A vow || Geraltskier

1 Good call with the dagger

**Keep in mind that it's my first ff**

Geralt sits around fire, watching over the dark forest. His friend is asleep on the ground near him. The friend being Jaskier the bard. He sleeps soundly as it's Geralt's turn to keep watch. Geralt's grip on his sword tightens as he sees a sudden movement in the bushes.

"Wake up Jaskier!" he whispers. "Huh? What's going on Geralt?" Jaskier mumbles. "I saw something move over there..." he points with his sword to the bush he's looking at."...can you go check it out for me? Just to be safe." Jaskier rubs his eyes "No! There's no way you can convince me." Geralt sighs and stands up, still gripping his sword. "I said so, Jaskier. Now, do it."

"And why can't you go?!" He almost yelled, scared to go.Geralt was irritated with Jaskier's behavior."Because I have to keep watching over you, of course."He then, without any warning, threw a rock at the spot he saw the movement. That scared Jaskier even more, who looked at the Witcher with slight anger for scaring him."Exactly! You have to protect me Geralt! Not send me straight into some creature's claws!""Oh.. For the love of.. Fine. Stay here where it's safe."Geralt then walked over to the spot he threw the rock. He looked through the bushes, only to see nothing. He was still hearing the rustling.."Do you see anything?" Jaskier asked with fear, trembling a little. He really didn't like the atmosphere. Geralt, without answering drew his sword and rushed head-first into the bush.He disappeared from Jaskier's sight. The rustling sound grew louder."Ah Geralt! Do not leave me here alone!"

The bard then heard Geralt's yelling and the sounds of fighting. The bard then heard Geralt's yelling and the sounds of fighting. He was really scared and didn't know what do do. He slowly approached the bush to get a look at what's going on. He followed the sound which got louder and louder with every step he took. His breath was shaky. He was trying to control it, adding up to his own confidence.

He then noticed Geralt fighting a beast that he himself never seen, nor did he knew what it truly was."Go over there!" Geralt yelled. His voice cutting through the clashing of swords and the grunting of the beast. Jaskier was making his way towards the Witcher, who was being attacked by the beast, but he was parrying it's every attack.Jaskier then noticed another one of the creatures, charging at Geralt's back. "Geralt watch out!"Geralt ducked out of the way to elude the monster's attack, but this distracted him from noticing the second one, who grabbed him by his throat."Fuck.." He reached for his sword but was unable to get a clean strike at the monster, who was squeezing his throat tighter. Jaskier was really scared and was trying to calm himself down and think of something so he can help Geralt somehow. He realized that he had his dagger. The creatures didn't notice him, so when he was close enough, he ran towards the one choking Geralt, stabbing it. The beast growled in pain, letting the Witcher go. Geralt got up, catching his breath. The monster roared in anger charging at Jaskier. Geralt got hold onto his sword and strikes the monster's neck, watching it drop in front of him. He turned to Jaskier, who was shaking."Good call with the dagger, Jaskier. You saved my life." Jaskier was standing in shock because of what just happened."I can't believe I did it.." His breath was shaking and his eyes were wide open, looking at the beast, now laying dead on the ground. He looked at the Witcher and smiled weakly.
