I was freaking out that I already got two reviews. This is my first fanfic EVER. I hope you like it but please be patient as I try to get the hang of this. My updates will be at random since I don't know how much homework I will get over the weeks as exams pop up.
I can and cannot believe I made that deal with him. I just don't want him to leave just yet. With all that has happened I should be there in case my father returns but then again, these will be the last days Herc would have here.
"Hey," I hear, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay? You seem deep in thought," he says. I turn to look at him and an expression of concern is displayed on his face.
I nod my head. "I'm fine, just wondering how we are supposed to get rid of this Cerberus," I reply, avoiding the truth that I don't even fully understand right now.
I could see the look on his face that tells me that he doesn't believe me. Normally I would look away, but this time I don't. All I could do now is give him a reassuring smile and keep on walking.
It was Hercules who breaks the silence after a while. "So," he starts, "we might need to stop at another place to restock on your arrows, just in case."
"Yeah," I agree.
There is only a few seconds of uneasiness until he talks again. "I can't stand this anymore," his voice rising a tiny bit. "Why can't we talk to each other like we used too?"
I shake my head, "I don't know, maybe it's because we are in a different situation right now?"
He stops abruptly and turns around. "Then let's strategize. How do we do this?"
I remember one of my friends in the castle. He is a knight but he is a young one as well. He got into the service because his parents died so nobody took care of him, and he learned pretty fast. We got along fairly well. His name was Drake.
"We could stop by the castle for a friend. He could help us with the third head and besides, the castle is on the way," I answer.
"If you are sure than its fine," he says.
"I'm sure. I have known Drake for a long time. We are really good friends. We could trust him with anything," I say.
"How good of friends are you and Drake?" he asks, but there is something different in his voice.
"He could possibly be my best friend at the palace," I answer, ignoring the change in his voice.
"Well," he says back, "if you trust him so much than he can come."
We keep in walking but, like before, we didn't talk. I think of his question. Why can't we talk to each other now? We were fine before I stopped the bandits. Now it's just so awkward. When it hits nightfall we are almost there but not quite.
"We should stop here and camp for the night," says Herc.
"But we are almost there," I argue.
"That's true but you look like your about to collapse," he responds.
"I can make it. I am strong enough to get to the castle."
"I never said you weren't strong enough. But, you do need your rest in order to help with Cerberus."
Now he got me, but I'm not going to give up now. "Wouldn't you need to sleep as well?" I claim.
"Yes," he says, "but since you came along on my labor, I feel like you are a responsibility to me. You need to sleep right now."
I am shocked. How dare him. "I am no one's responsibility. I can take care of myself," I shoot back, getting angrier now.
"I didn't mean it like that Snow!" he shouts back. I flinch in response. "I'm sorry Snow," he apologizes. "Please just sleep, I don't want to fight with you," he begs.
"Fine," I concede. "But we need to talk tomorrow." He nods while I try to find a comfortable place to lay down.
There is no comfortable place so I just lean against a tree. I slowly close my eyes and my drowsiness takes me. Even though I am asleep, I can still feel my surroundings. I know I am moving in my sleep but I don't care. A couple minutes later I am being moved and my head is on something more comfortable.
Author's Note
Like I said, this will be updated at random times but hopefully I will complete this fanfic. This was an idea me and a friend created. Hopefully she won't hate me because of the Snocurles fight. Until next time, bye.
