Geralt rode his horse into the village, as usual he got strange looks and many whispers of him not being welcome in the town. But he had a monster to kill and get the bounty on, he just needed to find out where he was going. As usual he found that he was needed for a creature that was just beyond the village. He was told that a young woman had been left there by several men in the village to keep the creature from taking anymore of those that live in the village.

Geralt came to the location where the creature he found the young woman they spoke of, they had tied her to a tree leaving her to die. He walked up and touched her arm, she turned her deep blue silver eyes toward him.

"Celia?" He said shocked that she was there. He could see fear within her eyes.

"Geralt?"

"How did you get into this mess?" He asked reaching behind the tree to untie the ropes.

"For that I have no idea. I remember coming into the village and then waking here."

Geralt looked up as his exceptional hearing caught the sound of the creature he was there to kill.

"Untie me first." She said to him.

"Celia you're safer here."

"Geralt don't you dare." She growled at him. He looked at her for a moment and then walked toward the sound.

"Damn you Geralt."

"You will be fine there."

"I'd be fine at a safer distance away."

Celia leaned back against the tree, not like she could go anywhere. With her arms tied the way they were her powers were useless. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate but couldn't, she opened her eyes and screamed when she came face to face with the monster.

"GERALT!" She screamed, he appeared behind the monster, his silver sword burying itself into its body it fell to the ground dead.

"What the hell was that?"

"Dead that is what it is. Are you alright?" He asked her, his voice devoid of feelings.

"Just untie me and I will be on my way and out of your way."

Geralt nodded and untied her arms and stepped back, he could see the slight twinge of fear and anger still in her blue silver eyes.

"Celia what brought you here?"

"Looking for work." She answered.

"Everywhere I appear?"

"I'm not following you if that is what you believe." She told him.

"Little sister tell me why you believe you need to follow me?"

"Because you heartless bastard you are my only family. But as you've seen to it I will not bother you any longer."

"You never knew I existed until your dear mother admitted I was given to those that made me what I am, then you came looking. You were safer without knowing me." Geralt said to her. Celia turned away from him and adjusted her tunic before walking away from him. A few tears slipped down her cheeks as she put distance between them. Geralt knew she would find herself more trouble before too long, she always seemed to. But he couldn't follow her around trying to keep her safe, he had done something like that before with a young princess. But she was his blood a child he hadn't even known about until a few years prior, someone told him that his family was dead and that was why he was brought to become a witcher as a child. But to find that he had a younger sister, one that was hidden just after he had gone from his home, one he didn't remember. Celia looked similar to him with her light colored hair and her unique blue silver eyes.

"Celia, its safer to travel with me."

"You just think I can not defend myself."

"From what I just saw you can't. Where is your sword?"

"They took my sword and my bow."

"Come we will get them back. Then if you chose to part ways then you can. But I will not leave you to be killed."

Celia still refused to turn and face him, her hands shook as she continued to walk ahead of him. A brother they told her she had, a brother that never knew she existed, a brother that was a witcher. Even he never knew of her and seeing her he was still not convinced that they were related, but the more he saw her the more he knew that they were. He tried to save her from the way he lived his life but she was determined to stay close to him, and twice now it has nearly gotten her killed.

"Get on Roach."

"I can walk." She answered him, she gasped suddenly when he lifted her and set her in the saddle.

"Stay put." He told her as he pulled his sword from his back.

"This is why I like traveling by the roads."

"I don't make money traveling by the road." He answered her walking away from her. Celia stayed seated in the horse, she touched his mane.

"Well Roach now what?" She asked the horse. Roach walked forward as if following the sound of Geralt's footsteps.

"Oh come on he didn't want me to go anywhere and your following him?" Celia looked down and continued to wonder why this horse was following Geralt.

"Oh come on." She groaned as Roach continued his walk. She jumped slightly when Geralt appeared from the underbrush.

"Fucking hell. Geralt."

"You alright?"

"Well besides your horse following you into danger I am fine."

"You seem to do that on your own. With staying with Roach he will keep you from harm."

"I guess."

"Celia, if you desire to continue to follow me. Then we must travel together that way I may keep my little sister safe. But you must know. Never tell anyone you are my sister, it could get you killed."

"At least it would put an end to my pain." Celia said to him.

"There is no reason for you to feel as if you need to die."

"Do you have feelings brother?"

"As does anyone. I just chose not to show them."

"So you're not heartless. But are you sure you wish to travel with a girl such as me? You're a witcher and I am a sorceress and a very hated one at that."

"I know I have been keeping track of you."

Celia lowered her eyes and turned her head and looked toward the tree line, she felt Geralt climb up onto Roach behind her, his arms moving so they were holding her in place as he urged his horse forward.
