For 3 days we walked, watching out for any creatures after us. We ran into some a few times but Julias killed them all. I felt useless though, not being able to help. I didn't want the feeling of him risking his life for me to get anymore guilty. But there was nothing I could do, i couldn't fight without almost dying. "Let's rest for a minute." I looked at him as he sat down, wiping his forehead. I stood there, looking at our surroundings. "I'm gonna go get some water." I could smell the stream and walked towards it. I kept scraping my legs and arms on branches and sharp tall rocks. I reached the stream and washed my dirty arms, making sure my cuts wouldn't get infected. I dipped my water canteen in the stream and saw the bubbles leave it, water replacing it. Then the water made the canteen to slippery for me to hold onto it. I dropped the canteen into the stream and groaned. Putting my hands into the water, I felt around for it, my hands touching what felt like the canteen. I gripped it and felt a sharp pain envelope my hand. "Ow!" I quickly let go of the object and took my hand out, revealing a huge cut on my hand. It was bleeding and there was purple liquid seeping out of it. POISON! I was too late to yell for Julias, the peralizes was already kicking in. My voice was too quiet for anyone near to hear me.
I fell sideways onto the ground and stiffened from the poison. What ever cut me was a very poisonous creature, and I was soon going to pass out. I heard my breath faltar when I breathed. I could feel my mind slipping and tried to stay awake. But I ended the battle, my mind putting me to sleep. I laid there, limp and knocked out. Julias...help.
i felt someone pick me up and strength returned to my body. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Julias holding me. "A-Julias?" he kissed me stopping me from making any noise as i heard something walk by us. I turned fifty shades of crimson and stood still, afraid of the anonymous person walking by. once the person was gone, he let the kiss lighten. I stared at him in shock and surprise, He kissed me. I quickly got out of his arms and stood, being wobbly. I leaned against the near tree and sighed. "I'm an idiot." I heard Julias get up and come behind me "hey i'm sorry i just couldn't think of how to keep you quiet" he seemed upset. I looked at him confused and sighed. "Why are you acting like that?" I wanted to know, and i wanted to see if I could help make him feel better. "its nothing." he turned away and picked up the bags. I frowned and snatched my bag from him. "Don't lie to me." I gave him a stern look and stood there waiting for his answer. he looked at me and all of a sudden kissed me lightly before pulling me behind him. I flustered and looked at him confused. "What is it this time?" I looked around trying to find the creature or person that was near. a pit scorpion came from behind one of the trees, its stinger raised. I groaned lightly, great more poison! I looked at the stream and followed the water direction, seeing a waterfall. We're going to have to jump. I looked back at Julias then the scorpion as it got closer. "A-Julias we need to jump." he didn't argue and grabbed my hand, running towards the stream. We jumped and were washed down it, towards the waterfall. I held onto my bag and felt the rock bed disappear from under me. We fell down the waterfall and I screamed. Shutting my eyes and keeping my body straight before I hit the water.
I could hear Julias hit the water as well and swam towards the shore. I reached it and gasp for air as my head came from under the water. I panted, laying my head down on the ground. I heard his footsteps walking towards me and a hand was placed on my back. "Are you alright?" I nodded and closed my eyes, wanting to rest for a moment. He sat down, rubbing my back, my tiredness kicking in. I didn't know how tired I was. "sleep Rachel." I opened my eyes and looked at him. "We're out in the open, that's not a good idea." I stood up, grabbing my soaked bag from the ground, and walked ahead. "Then I'll carry you." I shook my head and kept walking, knowing we were close to a village. "We're close to a village, i can make it." I felt his arms wrap around my waist and legs. He lifted me up and carried me. "I said I don't need to be carried. Now put me down." He didn't loosen his grip on me, my arms too tired to push them off. "Julias, please, you're tired too." He shook his head and looked at me, still walking. "I've slept for over a hundred years, i have enough sleep to last me until I die." I looked at him and sighed. "Then answer me this. Why did you kiss me the second time?" He looked forward and tightened his grip on me. "I'll tell you after you rest." I looked at him for a few moments and then looked ahead. I felt him swaying me lightly, he's trying to make me sleep. I had no choice and closed my eyes, falling asleep slowly. I could hear him humming a soft tune and I listened to it, my mind going dark. I went limp in his arms as i fell asleep. He better tell me.
I could feel soft sheets and a pillow on me. My body slowly waking up and my eyes fluttering open. I looked around the room slowly and saw that Julias wasn't there. I sat up and held my head, feeling a little headache. I grabbed my bag laying next to me and opened it, taking out some clothes. Better change before I get a cold. I quickly stood up, taking off my clothes. I threw my wet clothes in a corner and began to dry off my skin with a towel i had. I finished drying off, grabbing my shirt and putting it on. i went for my pants, slipping them on as well. I heard the door knob move and Julias walked in. "Ah, you're awake." i nodded, not forgetting what i asked earlier. "now", I said turning my whole body to face him. "Tell me why you kissed me the second time." He walked over to me and sat down on the floor in front of me. "i'm in love with you." I froze, hearing those word sent a shock in my mind. He loves me, and we just met 3 days ago. I felt like I was being tricked and gave a serious look. "Are you telling me the truth?" I couldn't let just one confession make me think that it was the truth, I needed to make sure he was saying why.
"you saved me i'm your faithful servant and i will always love you." S-servant? I flustered at what he called himself to me and sighed. "I don't understand. I don't deserve you…" I hurt him once, what if I hurt him again I thought. I wanted to part ways with him and let him have a better life. But his confession made me want to stay. I looked away from him, wanting to not let him see my eyes water. I felt him hug me gently and holding me. I slowly looked at him, my tears close to falling. "I-I don't want to hurt you…." he stopped me from finishing by kissing me once again and holding me. I stood there wide eyed and slowly closed them. I can't fight it anymore. I kissed back, letting myself melt into the kiss. I felt as if we were supposed to be together, and I wanted that. I was the one that freed him from the box, and now I got to fall in love with him. He let it lighten after a bit and asked "Do you want some breakfast?." I nodded, still in a daze. "Y-yes please." He smiled softly and hurried outside to get me some. I had never seen someone like that, but I smiled softly looking at my blankets. I felt them and the ground began to shake. I looked around and felt it again. "What the?" I stood up, walking to the door. I opened it slowly and was knocked back by a giant wolf. His fur pitch black and his eyes blood red. I landed screaming and felt my arm snap. "AHH!" I saw Julias come in and stand between us, the wolf just laid down. He turned around and snapped his fingers, a skeletal medic appeared. I passed out as soon as he arrived, the pain too much for me to stay awake.
I woke up hours later and looked around, my eyes blurry. I could see a figure standing in front of me. "J-julias?" I couldn't tell, my pain not letting me think. I reached for the figure and touched his chest, wanting to hear a voice. He spoke up, the voice Julias's. "Its ok, sorry my boy has been trying to find me, he got a little excited." I sat up slowly, looking at my arm. I could see my arm in a sling, wrapped in white bandages. I looked at the room and then Julias. "Where are we?" "a safe room." I gave a confused look and looked around the room. "Safe room? This doesn't make sense, how did you find a safe room?" I stood up, my knees wobbly, but i was still able to walk. I walked towards the door and turned the knob. i made the door open and walked into the hallway. "Where's the bathroom?" I felt Julias put his hand on my back and pointed. "This way." He lead me down the hall and opened the door. "Here." I smiled and walked into it, hearing him shut the door, waiting outside. I went to the bathroom and came out, looking at him. He took my hand and walked down the hall again, towards the 'safe room'. I followed, too tired to argue with, 'we need to go' or 'we can't stay here'. He opened my door and sat me down on the bed. "You never got your breakfast." He snapped his fingers, a plate of food appearing. "I made this while you were asleep, enjoy." Taking the fork, I stabbed the eggs, eating them. Cheese melted in my mouth, the taste of salt and pepper filling with it. The egg having just enough chicken flavoring to even out the other condiments. I closed my eyes, enjoying the taste and Julias said "i made this place before i was imprisoned." I looked at him, still eating the food. "Why?" "Well I wanted a home and it to be safe. But I didn't get the chance to sleep one night here so….I decided to bring you here." I looked at him, seeing how his sadness took over. I put my plate down on the bedside table, standing and walking to him. My hand raised his chin, making him look at me. Eyes meeting I stared into the beautiful blue eyes, them meeting with my hazel.
I didn't want to see him sad, and he knew it. I softly pressed my lips against his, feeling his warmth spread into me. His lips didn't respond though, and I kissed harder, trying to break the barrier he held. I didn't want him to do this and I tried to make him respond. Then it all melted into butter. His hands were now on my waist and his lips were parting, kissing me back. I blushed, knowing we were kissing passionately. I slipped my tongue in his mouth, swirling mine with his. He grabbed my legs and hoisted me up onto him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he started to walk to the bed. I couldn't stop myself from unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his strong muscular chest. He laid me down, breaking the kiss and began to unzip my pants. I then snapped from my daze and grabbed his hands. "W-we can't." He looked at me confused and took his hands from my pants. I laid there, staring at his expression. "...What do you mean we can't?" I sat up, holding my own hands. "We're...o-only 15." His expression softened and he walked to the door. "If you need anything, come get me and just so you know i love you so much"
