A Life of War...

Chapter 6: Healing with Love and Poison

I gently removed the blood from Williams slice to the face. It caught his chin, and I am guessing the panther had been aiming for his throat. "There, all better." I smiled and gently planted a kiss right on the scratch. "Hope it feels better."

He looked flabbergasted, and I let out an amused giggle. His light green eyes ventured around my face a little bit, before deciding to caress my cheek. My cheeks were instantly a light roses pink, and I could tell he thought that it was amusing. Blood traced the ground, and was all over our clothes. Most of it was dried, so I didn't try washing it off. I rewashed my hands in the lake water, and Jhaaronku was laying in a small patch of sunshine, next to a small rock the he would later mess with. I take in William's handsome body. His dark brown hair has lighter highlights if the sun hits it right. The way it fits his face is magnificent. He has nice strong arm muscles, but luckily they don't bulge out like giant BLAHS! Also I could tell he had a decent six-pack, and a gentle touch. If only he wasn't so... unpredictable. I wanted him now, so badly, but I knew that would be a mistake.

He took me in his strong wonderful arms and pulled me in for a delicate hug. I tilted my head, so it rested perfectly within the cradle of his neck. I naturally cuddled up close to him, warmth spreading between us. I stopped resting my head and looked at his beautiful face. To my luck, he didn't mind, but instead moved his hand closer to mine. In acceptance I grasped it every so gently. He looked at me, his eyes glimmering with a hint of lust, and a gentle smile had befallen on his face. I leaned in and my lips touched his. My body felt a small glimmer of satisfaction as I pulled away. The trace of his lips were still on mine.

Still only a few centimeters from his face, I whispered, "I hope you enjoyed that Will." I stood up and looked away before he could answer me.

I looked up at the sky and noticed that dusk would soon be approaching.

William looked up to and noticed the position of the sun. "I'm going to build a shelter. Do you want to go and hunt, or bring firewood?"

"I'll hunt. It what I do best. So, do you just want a rabbit, or maybe some bird eggs?"

"I'm sure whatever you catch will be tasty and fill me up." He waved me off.

I turned around, giggled gleefully to myself, and walked off to the woodlands ahead.

I came back to the lake to find a small shelter, and a fire burning. Luckily I had found a group of wild chickens running around near a tree. I killed a nice plump one as dinner. William was sleeping next to the fire.

I flung the limp chicken towards him.

He groaned as it hit him in the arm. "Why did you do that?"

"You were asleep and I brought dinner for you to de-feather, and it was a perfect thing to do," I stated, while rambling on.

"Ok, fine" he huffed and grabbed the lifeless chicken by its neck. "Do you have a cup or something to put the blood in?"

"I can make you one quickly, no I do have one. Hold on..." I raced over to where I placed all my belongings and pulled out a cup I stole during my meal earlier that day. "It's a wooden one, is that okay?"

He nodded his head, as he got to work on the chicken. I glided back over to him and placed it near his dagger.

"Do need me to make the poison?"
