Age Of Shifters

Chapter 4: The Meeting

Adraer Tirrin

I woke up early, probably slept about an hour before I decided to get up and take a walk. It was cold out and pulled my cloak tighter around be. I looked into the woods a little bit down the road and thought it would be relaxing to take a walk in there.

I forgot how long I was in the woods but I heard someone walking slowly. I looked around a tree, seeing a slim girl holding herself.

She jumped at almost every noise. I didn't plan on scaring her but a twig snapped under my foot. She jumped looking around scared.

"W-whos there?" I sighed under my breath and walked over to her and smiled to calm her, "What are you doing out here this late?" Her voice was very shaky."I Got lost, I was just taking a walk."

I stepped over to her and rubbed her arms, "Come and stay with me at the inn for the night, you'll be safe there." She just nodded and I put by cloak over her shoulders and we walked back.

I stayed outside for a moment enjoying the cold and sent her up to my room to relax. I went in after a moment and went up stairs opening the door, seeing her white hair, and shut the door.

"Your her." She tensed up backing up to the wall,"Leave me alone" I started over to her as she slid down the wall hugging her knees. 

I sat down next to her," I wont hurt you, I promise." I lifted her head up and she relaxed at my gaze. She was beautiful, "Get some sleep. Your safe."

She nodded and got up sitting on the bed, "Where will you sleep?" Was she concerned about me? I grabbed a spare pillow and blanket,"Ill just sleep on the ground."

She looked concerned, but nodded and laid down under the covers after pulling her hair back in a loose braid.

I have never seen anyone so beautiful in my life. I don't even think I slept that night, just watched her, which is pretty awkward. 

I finally decided to sleep, pulling the blanket over her shoulders, and she turned half awake.

"Are you still up?" My face turned red, hoping she didn't see it in the dark,"I couldn't sleep, go back to bed." She sat up rubbing her eyes,"Ill stay up with you."

I rolled my eyes,"Go to bed, your tired I can tell." She got up from bed and looked up at me,"No." She's stubborn.

"Fine if you wont I will." She stepped to the side and offered the bed,"I wont fall asleep again, take the bed." I shrugged taking my shirt off and laying in the bed.

I felt cold hands slide down my back, where my scar is after a bit.

"I got that when that goblin of yours almost killed me." I felt the bed move as she sat down,"I'm sorry if Leint hurt you, he was protecting me." I rolled over to face her rubbing her arm, staring into her blue eyes.

"It's not your fault." She nodded,"I know." I gave her a smile and rolled back over, starting to drift off when I felt tinny arms wrap around me.

She buried her face in my back and was sleeping in no time, I figured she wouldn't wake up if I rolled over, so I did and wrapped my arms around her holding her tight. We slept for a long time together. Everything was perfect.
