Part three

Muriel's pov

The strange person I met in the woods screamed. "I thought we were passed this part?" I asked. I was completely used to this, being the seven foot tall man I am covered with scars and chains. But when they pointed behind me I say that they weren't screaming at me. It was what was behind me. Count Lucio. He usually never got out this far. He always stayed near the palace. I took their hand and started dragging them to my hut. Asra knew my past with the Count, so he put a protective spell on it. I never really understood why, but I'm not complaining. Inanna was already safe in the hut. I left her there because she got hurt while hunting earlier. " You're not going home." I told the strange person. They were so confused. I don't care though. At least they would be safe at the hut. Asra was already there, so I could tell him everything. Maybe he even knew Y/n...

Y/n pov

The strange man was dragging me behind him. I was frightened by the goat because I knew it was Count Lucio. I had just never saw him out this far. The man seemed like he knew as well. Judging by Muriel's size, if I tried to fight it, he could just pick me up. I think it would be in my best interest to just follow. I follow Muriel as he leads me into the forest. Every once in a while, I would catch a glimpse of red eyes. I held his hand a bit tighter.

Muriel's pov

Y/n could see him too. The red eyes following us. I could tell because they kept squeezing my hand tighter. Usually, I would have just left, but something told me to protect them. We made our way to my hut. I rush them inside. " Muriel? Is everything ok?" Asra set his cup of tea down and rushed over. I pulled Y/n in behind me. " Y/n! What are you doing out here?" . I crack the door a little and check the area. I didn't see any signs of the Lucio. Y/n ran over and hugged Asra who looked stunned. " What are you doing here? Are you both ok?" Asra was checking us both over. " Goat." I simply said. Inanna rush over and began licking my hands.

Time skip brought to you by Mr. Goat man! Dermatologists hate him! Literally almost everyone hates him! ( I'm sorry my poor baby. )

Y/n pov

I explained the story to Asra. He looked pissed. " I'll be back." Asra said grabbing his hat. " After you explain to me what you were doing here!" I say. " Muriel is an old friend. You can trust him. I'll be back." and with that the door slammed. I had already noticed that Muriel was a man of few words. I didn't expect to talk much. " Are you ok?" I ask. He does a short nod and sits by the fire. I rest by the doorway for Asra. I fall into a restless sleep. ( Dream land, mother duckers!) I see a forest. Only trees. I look around the area trying to get an idea of what was happening. That's when I see it.

Muriel's pov

Y/n awoke with a start. She looked like she was shaking. " Are you ok?" I ask. She doesn't answer me. I see tears run down the sides of their face. I walk over to them and sit down. I look down at them. I saw fear looking back up. I wrap my arms around them as both of us tense up. I've never been very good at calming a person down. I sit there for a few minutes as I feel them slowly relax. I gently pick them up and sit them on the furs next to the fire. I start to remove my arms as I feel their hand reach up and grab mine. I feel my whole face heat up. " Stay, please." They say. I nod and wrap my arms around them as I sit next to them by the fire. They curl up next to me, still gently shaking. We both slowly fall asleep as we cuddle by the fire.

Asra's pov

" Lucio!" I call out. I can't see anything, but I know I'm not alone. " Leave Muriel and y/n alone.". I see two red eyes appear in the trees in front of me. " But it's so fun, and that's some of the only fun I get!" a whiny voice I know too well calls out. " Go back to the palace. Bother the chambermaid or something!" I yell back. " Fine. But say it nicely!" I hear the voice retort. " Please go back to the palace." I say, rolling my eyes. I feel his aura slowly dissipate into the woods around us as he leaves. I quickly make my way back to the hut to find Y/n and Muriel cuddling. I smile at the sight and decide to go back to the shop. I undo the locks and walk inside. Tired, I make my way to the bedroom, only to find Ilya lying there. " Well, hello there." Julian says, smiling. " Window?" I ask, taking off my shoes and climbing into bed with him. I curl around Ilya and slowly fall asleep. " We could always wash the sheets." I hear in the dark. " Ilya!" I say. I hear him laugh. " Good night." I hear, curling into him. " Goodnight." I tell him.

A/n

Oh my god! This was such a long one. It's close to the middle of the night for me. I just wanted it to finish. I hope you liked the ending. Sorry to all my goat man lovers. A little shout out to you if any of you ever read this. Thanks for reading. Again, any feed back you give would be awesome. LOAF YOU ALL!
