(Another chappie)



We had traveled for almost a day now, and the sun was starting to set. I groaned and snuggled my head into Geralt' chest. He didn't move, just kept his hands on the reins and my other hip, to help me not to fall.

"When will we rest?" I asked, "You can sleep" the white haired Witcher said and I groaned. "You need rest grumpy old man" I said and grabbed the reins. "You little-" "Oh shut it" I stopped him from saying the sentence.

"We will rest, it's final" I said and stopped Roach from moving. I jumped off and pulled Geralt off as well.

Geralt grunted and took a cloth from Roach. "Go get some wood" he said and I mutter something and ran into the woods. I walked past some good looking deer, 'They could be good food' I thought and looked at them a little, I could easily snap it's neck. I moved slowly from their way and continued to pick up wood.

I walked back to the camp threw the sticks into a little stack, Geralt made them into a good campfire. I heard a waters splash. "There is a pond that way" I say pointing to a little, overgrown road. "I can't hear it" Geralt grunts and I then say, "You have a bad hearing" he just shakes his head.

Geralt lights the campfire with Igni, after it I grab his hand make him follow me to the pond, it was very clean for a pond in the middle of a forest. I then ask "Who goes first?" "The fuck I will" Geralt grunts and I smile at him, forming a plan in my head. Geralt walks away and I yell "Help!".

I hear Geralt grunt and run to where I was a second ago, I rushed behind a tree as he slows down, "Where are you?" he yelled and I ran behind him, pushing him into the cold water. "Goddamnit" the Witcher growls as he walks out of the cold water. "Next time I won't come to the rescue" he says and I stick my tongue out, "Well see about that" I say as he walks off.

I strip down and jump into the water, I knew it was cold but I always felt warm, I can stop myself of feeling coldness. I washed myself fast and walk back to the camp. Geralt was cooking some deer and the smell made my mouth water.

"You aren't a bad cook" I said as I sat down beside the Witcher, looking at the fire, I felt home close to fire. The orange, white, yellow and red fire captivated me, the warmth was a good part. The ground wasn't that soft, the dirt with slight rocks wasn't the best place to sleep, but I didn't mind. I leaned into the ground with my elbows, the forest was peaceful and the leaves rustled slightly, making a sleepy feel to the forest. Almost all the birds were asleep, the stars had started to shine through the top of the trees. The moon gave a nice light to the little space of the forest.

The air was crispy, the wind blew my hair around. I closed my eyes and hummed.

I waited for the deer to be cooked. I looked at Geralt, his ashen hair was beautiful as the moon shone into it. He was good looking, well, not all normal girls would like the white grayish skinned Witcher. Or his cat like yellow/golden eyes that were slightly eerie. His hand flexed as he cut a pease of the deer, giving some of it to me. It was very good, I couldn't deny it, hell, it was heavenly. I moaned at the taste, "Goddamn Geralt, your meat is so good" I said, "Oh shit, I didn't mean it like that" I said as Geralt raised an eyebrow at me. He chuckled, taking another bit.

He stood up, he looked at me for a moment before he said, "I'm going to wash myself, don't taste my meat", winking. "God" I groaned.

Soon the Witcher was back, his hair was a little wet still. "Lets go to sleep" he said, laying onto the ground. I huffed as I laid down beside the fire. I looked at the night sky until I heard the Witcher snore. I closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.

I could see fire, in front of me, behind me, everywhere. The floor creaked under me as the cottage kept burning, I couldn't move much. I raised my hand, seeing that it was a baby's hand. Two people emerged from the fire, a woman with black hair and a man with silver hair. They picked me up. They walked out of the cottage with me in a basket. They left me in the hands off an blonde, hazel eyes, he seemed familiar. "Keep her safe" the other man said, the blonde haired man nodded, running into the forest. Before the woods stopped me from seeing I could see many silver haired people yell at the two people who took me out of the cottage. Suddenly the blonde man stopped as a woman appeared before us, from silver smoke. "Give me the child" she said, "No" the blonde man growled. The woman sighed, from her hand came silver spears, "You chose" she said coldly. "Sorry" the blonde man said dropping me into a ditch. Before everything blacked out I could see a silver mist go inside the blonde haired man's mouth, his eyes turning snobby.

I woke up with sweat running down my back, "Goddamnit" I muttered as I smelt ash. I looked at the fire, but it was still burning, I looked down and all the crass under me was burnt. My eyes probably looked like plates at the moment, "The hell" I muttered, I knew I was more powerful than human, but burning stuff. I groaned, sitting up. I cleaned it as fast as I could.

I laid back, but I didn't sleep that night.


(I know, short, but it took me way long to make this, *groans in annoyance* but still, hope you enjoyed)
