The Warrior & the Witch

Chapter 1

I was awoken by a noise seemingly coming from outside my cabin. Cautiously I put the books on my lap beside me and stood up to go investigate.

As I got out of bed, I realized the knocking sound was coming from my window. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion and my eyes have a hint of concern in them. Not for me but rather for the other campers in my cabin.

You anxiously grabbed a weapon for self-defense and braced yourself as you opened the blinds. You were met with a familiar face.

"Woah, chill! It's me!" She says and puts her hands up. *It's Clarisse.*

She sends you a grin and a sheepish look. Sighing I put down my knife and go sit on my bed, careful not to wake any of my siblings. "What are you doing here?!" I whisper urgently. Clarisse snickered a bit at your reaction and climbed into your window with ease, her muscular physique making it look very easy.

"Calm down, relax. I just wanted to pay a little visit." She replied with a smug tone and sat down next to you, making herself quite comfortable. "Dont wake anyone up." I say sternly as I place some books onto a table and off of my bed. Clarisse chuckled and sat with her arms crossed, finding your sternness to be very amusing.

"I won't, I won't. Just relax a bit, princess."

She chuckled again and patted your head, teasing you a bit with a smirk on her face. "You know I hate when you call me that, its so cliche." I grumble bitterly "I know, that's why I like calling you that." She teased some more, ruffling your hair a little bit.

"You're so adorable when you're mad." She grinned, leaning in closer to you with a playful expression. "I know, that's why I like calling you that." She teased some more, ruffling your hair a little bit.

"You're so adorable when you're mad." She grinned, leaning in closer to you with a playful expression. "Shh. Nobody can know we're dating. You need to be quiet. And you shouldn't be in my cabin at this hour." I say sternly scolding the girl. "Relax, princess. There's nobody here, everyone's asleep. And what's wrong with me coming over at this hour?"

She rolled her eyes and smirked, knowing she was really getting on your nerves on purpose.

"You're not shy, are you?" *She taunted and pinched your cheek.* "Not shy, im tired." I groan quietly "Tired, huh?" She repeated, letting out a small scoff.

"You do look sleepy, your eyes are half-lidded. Poor baby, you're probably exhausted from training."

She joked and pat your fluffy hair condescendingly. "Obviously! Go back to your cabin Clarisse.""No way."

Clarisse said with a smirk and wrapped her big arm around your shoulders, pulling you close to her chest.

"You can't get rid of me that easily, princess." She teased and pulled you down to the bed, having you lay your head against her chest. "Mmm you are cozy...but still, We cant fall asleep together or by tomorrow the whole camp will know."

I roll my eyes thinking of all the teasing that would follow. "Oh, stop worrying for a minute. Just relax."

She chuckled and wrapped her arms around you, pulling you in closer.

"I won't let anyone find out, I promise. And who cares what they think?"

She patted your head and gazed down at you. "Me! The teasing will be relentless. Plus most of my friends dont like you, no offence of course because I like you." I smile softly cuddling into her. "Oh, none taken. I don't like your friends either."

She replied bluntly and held you very close to her, her strong arms around you in a somewhat protective grip.

"But honestly, who cares what they think? You're mine and I like you, that's what matters."I roll my eyes at her first comment. "They aren't that bad when you get to know them. They're just..biased because you can be..." I pause "Can be what?" She inquired with her signature smirk.
