Chapter 14 Being Betrayed

Merci sensed that something was wrong when she woke up. There was just utter silence, which is so unlike the tavern. When she felt Krem's arms around her, trying to calm her down. She woke up alright, but still was groggy from whatever had happened.

Merci asked him, "Krem, what's going on? I was sleeping alright, when all of a sudden, I was having a vision so intense, I couldn't even feel like I was here until you took me in your arms to try and soothe me." Than, as an afterthought she asked him, "Did I hurt you dear one? Because if I did, I didn't mean to do so."

He smiled as he replied, "I'm alright Merci. It's just, when Stitches came and got me, he told me that you were having a nightmare. And no one was able to calm you down as fast as I could. Damn, though, how did you learn how to hit so hard?"

She blushed and said. "Chief has been teaching me ho to do so without having a lot of fuss. And I guess, it's harder for me to tell the difference between the visions and nightmares anymore."

Krem knew that there was something else on her mind and yet he didn't even have to ask when she just blurted out with." I swear if my clan has sold me out to those Red Templars, I'll kill them myself. Otherwise, I'll never be going back till I'm ready to do so."

So he had suggested that they ride off away from SkyHold for a while. if it was alright with both the Inquisitor and the Chief, and it was alright with both of them. So they rode off for the afternoon, just to clear their heads for a bit. Once they arrived at the place where they were going to be for a while, he helped her dismount her sweet hart, Onyx.

She shifted until he had her on the ground beside the river when they kissed for the first time. She leaned into him to deepen the kiss when they both stripped till they were both nude, and he began to work on getting her relaxed when they had finally gotten to it with a further ado. And Merci was able to let go of the past.

They fell asleep together with a tangle of limbs, until they were ready to go back home. And when they arrived back at the stables, everyone was within an uproar. They managed to get enough information about what had happened. There was an ambush on the Knight-Commander, but it was foiled by an elven spell weaver.
