Cesia woke the next morning warmer then she had felt when she went to
sleep, and warmer then the other mornings they had spent in the forest. She
opened her eyes and saw Raths coat on top of her. She turned around to find
a sleeping Rath next to her. She gazed at his sleeping face. 'He looks so
peaceful. Could this be the same person who tried to kill himself just
yesterday? Oh Rath, I wish you would stop trying to kill yourself.' She
thought, her eyes getting watery. She pushed that thought aside was about
to get out from under the coat when She felt something around her waist.
She looked down and saw Raths arm clinging to her shirt. He pulled her
closer and heard him whisper a faint, "Don't let me go" in his sleep. Cesia
smiled and looked up at the sky, it was still early and she decided to go
back to sleep.
.
.
When Rath opened his eyes it was around 10 in the morning and he wondered
what had possessed him to sleep in so late. He opened his eyes and when he
saw his arm around Cesia he wondered how that got there and reluctantly
slipped his arm off from around her waist blushing. Cesia felt his arm
moving and woke up. "Good morning sleepy head." she said yawning.
"Who are you calling sleepy head, I woke up before you."
"I woke up at 6 am and you were still sleeping. So I went back to sleep as
well." Cesia smiled at her memory of what Rath had said earlier that
morning and wondered if he remembered. 'Probably not. This guys probably
got the worst memory of everyone I know.' She thought smiling.
"What's with the smile?"
Cesia didn't answer and just got up and stretched.
"Thanks for keeping me warm." She said as she started their journey once
again. Rath stood there for a second, a bit confused. Had Cesia just said
something nice to him to his face when they were both sober? He shrugged
and started walking after Cesia.
"OUCH! What was that for!" Rath yelled rubbing the new bump on his head.
'Why did she do that! Half the time he didn't even know what he did to
disserve it.'
"You know, when someone says thank you, or gives you a compliment or asks
you a question you're supposed to say your welcome or respond in a polite
way. Its called common curtsey. OUCH! What did I do!"
"That was for not answering my question before." Rath said smiling.
.
During the rest of the morning each came up with various reasons for
hitting each other randomly. Small things like "that's for trying to kill
yourself" "Well that's for seeing me naked"(that one gave Cesia a rather
large bump)
"Well its not like there was much to see." Cesia said laughing. Rath chased
her for and hour or so before he gave up, or rather Cesia did.
"Take it back." Rath said out of breath and holding in a laugh, this was
actually kind of fun. Chancing her around.
"Im sorry, you have a very nice little toot." Cesia said holding in a
laugh. "And I take it back."
Rath stood there, not quite sure how he should take this. After a minute or
so they both broke down laughing, not quite sure what the other was
laughing at.
.
They walked along thought the forest for a little while, when Cesia
suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter now?" Rath asked a bit irritated, not really sure over
what except for the fact that they had been walking for hours and they
didn't seem to be making much progress.
"I think I've seen this tree before." Cesia said pointing blank-faced at a
tree.
"Oh my gosh, please don't tell me we've been walking in circles." Rath said
tiredly
"Ok, I wont tell you. But that doesn't make it any less true." She said a
bit mater of factly.
"This is all your fault." Rath said still irritated, although now he knew
why he was irritated.
"MY fault!" Cesia said in a shocked voice.
"Yes, when I was chasing you led us off the path and we got lost. And
you've been leading for the past hour or so."
"Well who chased me? Who let me lead. Who then took over the lead leading
us in a giant circle? YOU!" Cesia said proving her point.
Rath huffed and tried to figure out which way to go. "This way." He finally
decided
"You just picked a totally random direction didn't you?"
"No, by the position of the sun, the direction of the wind, and...other
scientific stuff, I have decided that it is this way."
"You pointed in the opposite direction a second ago." Cesia said becoming
rather amused at Raths lack of directional skills.
"Oh what ever!" Rath yelled, his hands flying in the air, and stalked off
in another random direction.
"Here we go again." Cesia said before fallowing after Rath.
.
Rath walked blindly forward, hoping against hope that he had chosen the
right direction. He looked at Cesia who was now walking at an even pace
next to him. She seemed tired and worn out. And her face seemed paler then
normal. "You ok?"
"Hum?" She said a bit dazed. "Oh yeah, Im fine."
"We can stop and rest if you want."
"Its ok, we're making good time. And the sooner we're out of here the
better." She gave a weak smile and kept walking forward with a new look of
determination. But Rath noticed that look vanished all to fast. He saw
beads of sweat running down her face. It was a pretty cool day, and even he
wasn't sweating much. He watched a bead of sweat run down her face and slid
down her neck. He looked forward once more when he saw where that bead of
sweat was headed. There was an awkward silence between the two for some
time, and Rath slowed down his pace seeing Cesia struggle. 'If she's tired
or sick I wish she would tell me so she can rest' He thought to himself. A
little while later Rath heard a small "ouch," from behind him. He turned
around to see Cesia holding her ankle.
"What happened?" Rath asked with a small touch of worry in his voice.
Cesia didn't notice. "I think I twisted it."
"Can you walk on it?"
"I think so. Ouch. No."
Rath turned around and squatted down in front of her. "Get on." He said in
his normal calm voice. When Cesia just stood there Rath got a bit mad,
"Come on, I don't got all day. Im not going to drop you." 'I could never
drop you' He thought. Cesia jumped at the anger in his voice and got on his
back.
Rath stood up swiftly and started walking at the same pace as before. Cesia
rested her head on his shoulder. For a split second before Cesia moved her
head, her forehead and his cheek touched and Rath knew she was sick and had
a fever. She soon fell asleep to the rhythm of his walking and Rath was
left alone with his thoughts. Innocent thoughts such as why he had decided
to carry Cesia. and not so innocent thoughts such as the feeling of Cesias
body against his own.
.
He walked with her on his back till it was dark and he started looking for
a place to stop. Off in the distance Rath saw a light and approached it.
When he came upon the light he saw that it was a hotel of some sort. This
must be the hotel he saw back on the map at the last hotel. And according
to that map, this hotel was the on the midway point on the trail through
the forest.
Rath put Cesia down and stretched a bit. When he picked her up, he held her
cradled in his arms this time, with her head against his chest, as he
walked up the stairs.
.
The receptionist looked up from her desk and greeted him with a warm smile.
"Hello there sir, how may I help you?"
" I need two rooms for a few nights. My friend is sick."
"Oh, Im sorry but we only have one room left."
"Um....That's ok, can you just have some extra blankets sent in so I can
sleep on the floor."
The woman looked a bit puzzled but nodded and showed them to the room.
"Can you also send in some medical supplies and some food?"
"Sure thing."
Rath set Cesia down gently on the bed and tucked her in under the covers.
Five minutes later there was a knock on the door. It was the lady with the
things Rath had asked for. Rath bandaged Cesias foot gently then went to
wake her up so she could take something for her cold. "Hey, Cesia, wake
up."
"Huh? Where am I?"
"We're in some hotel on the main road. Here, you need to take this medicine
so you can get better."
Cesia nodded and took the pills. But when Rath handed her a bowl of soup
the lady had given him she strongly protested.
"There is no way Im eating your cooking."
"I didn't make it. The lady at the front desk did." Rath said a bit
irritated. Sure his food wasn't the best, but it was nothing to get all
freaked out about.
As Cesia ate she looked around the room. "Hey Rath?"
"Huh?"
"Where do you plan on sleeping? There's only one bed."
"On the floor."
"But wont you be cold?"
"The lady gave me extra blankets."
"You should sleep in the bed, we've been camping out for the past week and
sleeping on sticks and stones. You'll just take one side and I'll take the
other."
Rath thought about his, he really didn't want to sleep on the floor.
"Fine."
Cesia smiled at this. She was glade Rath was sleeping here. "Thank you for
carrying me all this way. Im sorry for being such a burden to you."
Rath looked at her in shock. "Your not a burden to me! You're anything but
a burden. I...like having you around." Cesia looked at him to see if he was
just playing with her or something, but the look in his eyes said
otherwise. She leaned over to peck him on the cheek, but at that moment, he
turned to face her and they ended up in a lip lock. Both broke apart
quickly and stared into the others shocked eyes. Rath put his had on Cesias
cheek and kissed her again, a real kiss. This time on purpose, and Cesia
kissed him back and they both intensified the kiss.
.
They broke apart panting. "What just happened?" Cesia asked, not knowing
where this had come from.
Rath didn't respond, he just snuggled under the covers facing away from her
and tried to sleep. But for the two, sleep never came. They both stared off
into the darkness of the room till exhaustion took them over, just as the
sun peaked over the trees.
