I'm feeling generous… here's another chappie for today!
Chapter 15
Warm thing…2
Warmth, comfort, it smelt like wild flowers. I was on my side, it was right in front of me, I moved a bit closer.
Whatever was there, it was so, comforting, I snuggled into it, it was so soft and peace bringing. It moved away,
'No come back warmth! Come back! Whatever you are, come back!'
"Huh?" I heard, "Marina…" something nudged my arm, I flinched as searing pain flooded up, "Marina…" I felt the warm, rough touch of a glove on my nose, "Aurora, wake up, please…" I opened my eyes,
"Huh? Van?" he was sitting next to me, he was the warm thing, again!!
I blushed; I had snuggled close to Van!!
"What's wrong?" he asked,
"Nothing!" I replied,
"Liar!" he pulled up my shirt, I blushed, ACK!
I knew I had forgotten to clean one of them! It was red, pussy, and looked like it had become infected.
He covered it up again, "What am I going to do with you?" he sighed,
"You don't need to worry about it, I'm sure it will be fine!" I said,
"I DO have to worry," he sighed, "Sh*t…" he whispered,
"What's wrong?" I asked,
"We're a day from Freud…" he replied,
"Are there any towns in between?" I asked,
"No, the closest town is Freud, there are not any others…" he sighed, I looked seriously in thought,
"Than…I guess…we'll have to start that journey right NOW!" I laughed and began to run to where Van was looking, which seemed to be the direction to Freud, Van sighed, than smiled,
"Hey! Wait up!" he yelled running after me.
I awoke, breathing heavily, why did that doppelganger follow me and torment me so? I looked over, and saw Van, asleep, good; I won't have to answer any questions. I gasped, it came in front of my eyes again! It must be close, and important in my future, I must remember it…
"Marina, go wash your wounds," Van had awoken,
"Please, call me Aurora," I said,
"Why? When Marina is your first name?" he asked,
"I was actually meant to be called Aurora Marina Mayazaki, at least that's what my Grandma wanted, but my parents didn't like it, so they changed it, I hate having anyone insult my Grandma, anyone insulting her memory, only close people call me Aurora,"
"So, does that mean, we're close?" he asked, blushing, just slightly,
"Yeah" I smiled, so did he. I walked over to the river, which was surrounded by woodland, I knew Van could not see me, and striped, so I could wash all my wounds.
I got out of the river, and got dressed. I felt renewed, and so much more alive. Van came, he was very silent, and had a light blush on his cheeks… he hadn't…
"Are you ready to go?" he asked, smiling,
"Yeah," he offered an arm, "Shall we?" I laughed and took hold of his arm, we ran, starting our journey to Freud again.
"So, what are we going to do here again?" I asked, we looked around the metropolis before us,
"There is meant to be an incredible healer here," his eyes surveyed the crowd, it was filled with strange people… and… creatures…I followed his eyes, when they fall on something, there was a tent, with a woman sitting outside it. He pulled me to her.
"Hey…" Van said, the woman looked up at him, and beamed,
"Why, hello there young man," she put her hand to her head, "I know what you are here for…" she said,
"Right…" I said,
"You've come for the fertility potion…haven't you?" I almost fell over, Van looked as if he was calculating her suggestion,
"No, we came to heal her wounds. We have been looking for the famous healer, could you give us directions?" Van asked,
"I am she…" the healer fluttered her eye lids; she motioned for us to enter her tent. When we were all in the tent, she motioned for me to sit on one of the hammocks she had set up,
"Now…let's see your wounds…" I pulled my sleeves up, my black pants up showing the gashes, and my shirt. The healer tutted,
"This is so simple!" she run her finger over the labels of a selection of bottles, and tubs of lotions. She picked one lotion out, and got a quite thin looking piece of material out.
"Now, this may sting a little…" she said, she rubbed the lotion on all my wounds, I winced slightly, she was right…than wrapped each one in thin fabric. The healer brooded,
"Is there something wrong?" Van asked, after a while,
"No…just wondering why you do not want my potion, it is guaranteed to work…" I blushed beet red, Van only blushed slightly,
"We are not interested in that! We're not even married, or even like that!!" he murmured. The healer gave a laugh like my grandma used to,
"Oh, covering up…you are so modest! Fine, fine, if you don't want anything, go, and take care of yourselves…" I got up,
"Thank you very much," I said as we left,
"Good luck to you!" she said as we walked away.
"She was…odd, no?" I commented as we walked to the Palace,
"Yes…very odd…" Van murmured, I felt something in my pocket; I put my hand in.
"Oh…sh*t…" I whispered,
"What?" Van asked,
"Look, at what I found…" I pulled the little vial out of my pocket, in this spidery writing; it had a label saying, 'Fertility Potion' I passed it to Van, we retraced our steps, but…no tent…
"What the…wasn't her tent, right here?" he whispered,
"That's…Weird.." we said in unison.
"What are we going to do with it? We could put it in a trash can…oh wait…you don't have trash cans here…umm…we could leave it…oh, no than I child might get it…oh…" I muttered,
"We…could use it…" his face was dead serious, my face was panic stricken,
"You serious!?" I said, than, he just cracked up,
"I'm not THAT desperate!" I pouted,
"That was SO not funny Van!" I growled,
"Let's just keep it, for now, until we find something to do with it…" Van put the bottle in his pocket. He had better have been kidding…
How the hell do I come up with this stuff? Like seriously… O.o it's creepy…
