Loyal brave Love 3
Fight to kill, fight to win, fight to conquer, but, fight to protect? For Alison, this is the first time that her motive to fight, it's the deep desire to protect someone precious to her. And, Alison has no idea when this feeling started to bloom inside her heart, inside her soul. But, it's there, getting stronger. That's why Alison has no intention to let this scum tribe to live, she can take them down, she can kill them all without doubt, but, when she raises her sword to kill the leader of the Triku tribe, her reason to fight stops her...
Emily. - "Ali! No!"
Alison frowns. - "No?!"
Chief Fields. - "Ali?!" (he whispers) "Emily knows her...?"
The word 'Mercy' is not in Alison's vocabulary, but, when those dear brown eyes stare at her, pleading her to drop the weapon. She...
Alison groans. - "Fine..." (She grabs the leader by the neck, and, says to him, with a lethal gaze) "You get to live now, but, if you get near them, once again, I'll cut you in half, just like I did with your arm..."
Chief Fields mumbles. - "She speaks our language..." (He looks at Emily, and, says) "Emily...?"
The brunette avoids eye-contact with her dear father. She knows that she has lots of explications to give, but, right now all she can see is...
Emily smiles. - "Ali..."
The Triku ran away like cowards, and Emily's entire tribe smiles, they raise their arms up, they are saved, they're breathing thanks to...
Emily. - "Ali!" (She rushes to hug her, and, says) "You came to save me..."
Alison smiles, she hugs her too, and, says. - "Always..."
The tender hug, filled with love and affection, it doesn't go unnoticed by the rest of the tribe, especially by...
Chief Fields. - "Hmmm... I haven't never seen Emily, hugging someone like that..."
Pam smiles. - "Me neither..."
Chief Fields. - "But, you look happy about it...?"
Pam. - "Because look at the stranger!" (big smile) "She's gorgeous!"
And, Pam Fields wasn't the only one who has noticed the beauty of the blonde Viking. Before knowing it, Alison finds herself, surrounded by all the girls of the tribe, young beautiful girls...
A girl smile. - "Our savior!" (She grabs Alison's hand, and, softly kisses it, when she says) "Thank you..."
Alison blushes. - "Ah..."
Emily frowns. - "What are you doing?"
The girls ignore Emily, they break their hug, and, Emily is also founding a new feeling, inside her heart when she sees all these beautiful girls around her gorgeous warrior...
Another girl says. - "Your hair is golden..." (She gets closer to Alison, and, says) "And, your eyes... are blue..."
All the girl says, awesomed. - "Wow..."
The girls start to touch her golden curls, they soflty touch Alison's hands, Alison's face, and, the blonde Viking is getting so red, blushing with all the touching while...
Emily jealously says. - "Hey! Back off! Don't touch her!"
Maya teases. - "Someone is jealous..."
Emily pouts. - "Shut up..."
Even if the brunette doesn't want to recognize it, she's jealous, so jealous...
A girl hugs Alison, and, says. - "Our hero..."
Alison blushes. - "Ah..."
The rest of the girls hug her too, and, Alison is trapped between so many arms, and now, it's the brunette who's feeling the need to protect the other. The brunette pushes the girls away, she puts herself in front of the blonde, like a human shield when she says...
Emily. - "She's mine! So, leave her alone!"
Alison blushes. - "Mine...?"
The Chief Fields raises an eyebrow, and, says with the arms crossed. - "Mine...?"
Emily pouts, she doesn't want to explain herself. She found her, she has been feeding her, she has been teaching her their language... she has done so many things for this blonde Viking that is just natural that she sees Alison as hers, right?
(Later, at night)
Chief Fields. - "Where's she?"
Emily. - "With mom..."
The brunette turns her look towards her dear mother, who's teaching Alison about the constellations, and, Alison seems so awesomed, Emily smiles even more...
Chief Fields. - "I heard already from Maya how did you find her, but, I want to hear from you, why you hided this from our tribe... from me?!"
Emily sighs deeply, she looks down, and, mumbles. - "I... I thought that you might order to kill her..."
Chief Fields. - "Emily, I don't even dare to kill a deer. How could you ever think that?! You know that I'm a man of peace..."
The brunette nods, she knows that her fears didn't have validity, but...
Emily. - "You don't approve, mixing with other tribes..." (sad sighs) "You don't like what is strange to you, so, I didn't want to risk that you could push her away from us..."
Chief Fields. - "From us, or, from you...?"
Emily doesn't look at him. She has no words to convey what she's feeling right now. She doesn't understand why Alison makes her feel so many things from the 1st moment their eyes met...
Chief Fields. - "She's not from these lands..."
Emily. - "No, but, she's here now..." (She looks at him in the eyes, and, says) "And, I really want her to stay with us, Papa..."
Chief Fields. - "Papa... the last time you called me like that, you were 12, and, you wanted me to let you go alone into the forest..."
Emily smiles. - "And, you let me..."
Chief Fields rolls his eyes. - "It's not the same, Emily..."
Emily. - "You trusted me then, to promenade in the forest. Why can't you trust me again, Papa?"
Chief Fields doesn't want to smile, but, he loves to be called 'papa' by his dear Emily. She might be a young woman now, but, in his eyes, she will always be his little, dear girl...
Emily holds his hands, and, pleads. - "Please, Papa. She has no one, let her stay. She will not do any harm..."
'Papa', and, a look with deer's eyes; the brunette really knows her game, and, she knows that...
Chief Flieds. - "Fine, she can stay..."
She will always get her way...
Emily smiles. - "Thank you, Papa!" (She hugs him, and, kisses him a lot) "Thank you! Thank you!"
Chief Fields chuckles with so much affection; he has never seen Emily so happy, but, mostly, he has never seen her so attached to someone else who's not him, or, Pam, or her friend Maya. There's something in the way she looks at the blonde, he knows it, and, that's why...
Chief Fields. - "She can stay, but, I must talk with her, first..."
Emily pouts. - "Papa, no..."
The Chief Fields ignores the pouting of his kid, he walks towards his wife and, the stranger who charmed not just Emily, but, also, his wife...
Pam smiles. - "You have beautiful eyes, my dear..."
Alison chuckles, and, blushes. - "Thank you, Emily's mom..."
Pam. - "Pam, you should call me Pam..."
Alison smiles and, nods...
Chief Fields clears his throat. - "Auch..."
The blonde stands up, she stands stiff like a soldier in front of him. This is her way to show respect towards him, and, it doesn't go unnoticed...
Chief Fields. - "You can relax, I just want to talk with you..." (He looks at his wife, and, says) "Alone, please..."
Pam. - "Okay, but, be nice..."
Alison nods
Pam chuckles. - "Oh, no, I wasn't talking to you..." (she points out towards her husband, and, says) "I was telling him, to be nice..."
Alison. - "Oh..."
Chief Fields. - "Me?!"
Pam whispers into his ear. - "Yes, be nice, do not dare to scare her away, or, you'll end sleeping here, outside our tent, tonight..."
The Chief Fields rolls his eyes, he really doesn't think he can scare this blonde warrior, but, he's wrong. Alison is really afraid of not giving a good impression. She doesn't want to be pulled away from Emily. But, if her father asks her to turn around, and, never come back, she doesn't know what she would do. She looks worried, thinking about it...
Chief Fields. - "You look conflicted..."
Alison doesn't know what to say, she's not the kind of person who talks about what is in her mind, or, in her heart. She just knows how to fight, well, she just knew, how to fight till she met Emily. The brunette has opened a new world to Alison, a peaceful world that Alison likes it a lot. And, that's why she will do everything in her to keep it, to keep these new world, to keep Emily around her, even if that means to do what is very foreign to her... talk from the heart...
Alison. - "I'm not conflicted... uhmmm... just scared..."
Chief Fields frowns. - "Scared?"
Alison nods
Chief Fields. - "Of me?"
Alison nods, and, Emily's father finds it hard to believe that this strong Viking who could easily kill him with the sword, is actually afraid of him, a man who has never touched a weapon in his life...
Chief Fields. - "Why are you scared?"
Alison shrugs, she doesn't like to admit when she's scared, she doesn't like to admit she can feel such thing like fear...
The old man sits on a wooden log, close to the bonfire that is keeping them warm, when he pats the empty spot beside him, and, says...
Chief Fields. - "This isn't going to work, if you don't talk to me..."
The blonde pouts, she's not good with words, she's good with the sword, but, words? She doesn't know how they work, to be honest, but, she might start to learn now, if she wants to stay around Emily. So, she sits, still pouting, frowning, trying to put her brain to work on making some words...
Chief Fields laughs. - "You're so easy to read..."
Alison. - "I am?"
Chief Fields nods, he gets a stick, and, starts to touch the wood that's in the bondfire, trying to keep the fire ongoing, even getting bigger. And, Alison seems amazed by his actions. Everything seems so new to her, and, the Chief notices it...
Chief Fields. - "You don't know lots of things, isn't it?"
Alison. - "I know how to use a sword..."
Chief Fields. - "Is that the only thing that your olders taught you?"
Alison nods. - "I don't have memories of my mother..." (She frowns) "I don't know, but, if I look back into my past, I just see all my training with my father..." (She looks at her hands, and, says) "I've so much blood on my hands..." (sad sighs, she stands up, and, says) "I should go..."
Chief Fields. - "Where are you going to go?"
Alison sadly says. - "I don't know... Far away..." (She turns her look towards Emily, and, says) "I just know how to kill. I've killed so many people, without regret. I don't deserve to be around her..."
For the 1st time in her life, Alison feels defeated, and, she was ready to leave, but...
Chief Fields. - "You leave now. And, Emily will run after you..."
Alison. - "Then, I'll tell her not to chase me..."
Chief Fields smirks. - "Oh, you can try that! But, she will not obey. My dear child doesn't follow orders, she follows her heart..." (He looks at Alison, and, says) "And, somehow, I believe that her heart is where you're..."
Alison blushes, she doesn't know what to say about that...
Chief Fields points out towards the starry sky and, says. - "What is that...?"
Alison looks up, she smiles looking at all the constellations, and, recalling her talk with Pam, she says. - "The great bear..."
Chief Fields smiles. - "That's correct..."
Alison smiles
Chief Fields adds more wood to the fire, and, says. - "You say that you only know how to use a sword. But, you have learned our language, you've learned about the stars. And, I'm pretty sure that Emily has taught you so much more..."
Alison nods, because it's true what he's saying...
Chief Fields pats the empty spot beside him, and, says. - "You're capable to learn more than just how to use a sword. So, stay, and, keep learning that this world has more to offer than just war..."
The blonde smiles, she walks back to sit with him. And, the chief throws into the fire some dry leaves, so they can see sparks of fire, dancing in the air, making shapes of people, of animals...
Alison. - "Wow..."
Chief Fields smiles. - "Let me tell you a story..."
The world is more than just blood & death. And, this blonde Viking will soon learn that she has so much more to offer than just Death...
(A couple of days, later...)
Maya smiles. - "Ali! Taste this!" (She pushes a spoon of her stew into Alison's mouth, and, says) "How does it taste?"
Alison tastes it, and, says. - "Good..."
Maya smiles. - "Really good?"
Alison nods, she drops the big hampers of apples she just collected, and, all the girls around look amazed by how strong she's, carrying what 10 men could handle...
Another girl says. - "I'll prepare you something sweet with these apples..."
Alison blushes. - "Oh, you don't have to... I brought them for all, I..."
Another girl says. - "Ali, Ali! Taste now my stew..."
Another girl says. - "No! Taste mine..."
Another girl says. - "No! Taste mine..."
Once again, Alison is cornered by a group of girls. The blonde Viking knows how to deal with a bunch of men in the battlefield, but, she has no clue about how to deal with a bunch of girls who just want to catch her attention. She's frustrated to find herself more, and, more times in this kind of circumstances, and, she's not the only one...
(In the Fields tent)
Emily makes a fuss. - "Mom! Look at them! They keep throwing food into Alison's mouth, just like that! Even Maya!" (she groans) "It's wrong!"
Her dear mother chuckles, amused to see this new facade of Emily. Jealousy doesn't look good on anyone, but, it's definitely cute to see Emily frustrated, huffing, pouting...
Pam teases. - "What is wrong is that you cannot do the same, just because you refuse to learn how to cook..."
Emily rolls her eyes. - "I don't refuse..."
Pam raises an eyebrow, and once again, the brunette rolls her eyes. Yes, Emily has never found any interest on the kitchen, but, when she sees how happy Alison looks, tasting so many stews, she changes her mind...
Emily. - "Mom! Teach me how to cook!"
Pam smirks. - "I never thought I would live enough to hear you saying those words..."
Emily rolls her eyes. - "Mom..."
Pam chuckles, she decides that she teased her enough for today. So, she takes the rest of the evening, teaching Emily how to cook. And, the result was...
'Fire! Fire!' Everyone yells while they try to extinguish the fire, and, save what is left of the tent. Pam and Emiy are okay, safe. Pam tells them how the fire started...
Maya laughs. - "OMG! You should really never cook!"
Emily pouts. - "Shut up..."
Chief Fields. - "Uhmmm... next time, the cooking lessons, you should do it outside..."
Emily rolls her eyes, while her mother & her best friend Maya try their best at hiding their laughs. With the help of Alison, the Chief rebuilds the tent for them the same day, in a record time. It's at night that Alison is doing the last knots when a sad Emily enters into the new tent...
Alison. - "You look sad..."
Emily pouts. - "I don't want to talk about it..."
Alison. - "Accidents happen, you don't have to feel bad about it, no one got hurt, you..."
Emily snaps. - "You are the one to blame!"
Alison frowns. - "What?!"
Emily looks down. - "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that... It's not your fault... it was mine..."
Alison. - "But, it looks that somehow, I'm involved in it... why?"
The brunette tries to avoid eye-contact, she tries to run away, but, she's stopped by two strong arms that are cornering her...
Emily blushes. - "Ali... you're too close..."
Alison. - "And you, you're avoiding the subject, so talk..."
Two sapphires are looking at her, with a piercing stare. And, Emily can't escape from them, so...
Emily. - "I was trying to cook something for you..."
Alison smiles, with a big smirk, she says. - "For me?"
The brunette nods, she tries to avoid eye-contact again, but, Alison doesn't let her, the blonde grabs Emily's chin, forcing her to look at her in the eyes...
Emily. - "I got jealous of how all the girls are capable to cook something for you, so..."
Alison. - "So, you wanted to be one of them, and, make me taste something coming from you..."
Emily nods, she looks down, feeling ashamed of her inability to cook, she really wanted to see Alison smiling, tasting something coming from her, but at this point, she doesn't think she will ever be able to do it... at least that's what she thinks...
Alison. - "There's something I really want to taste from you..."
Emily. - "I don't know how to cook..."
Alison stares at the tender, pure lips of the brunette, and, says. - "It's okay, you don't need to cook anything..."
Emily. - "Huh? What do you mean? Wh-...?" (gasps) "Ah!" (little moan) "Ahmmm..."
The brunette is cut off when Alison kisses her in the lips. It was the first kiss for both of them, but, definitely, it wasn't going to be the last one...
