The Silly Tactics to Make You Fall In Love
Chapter 3: The chained wolf.
"I see…" I just couldn't stand it, why do I feel so sad?
"I…I'm really sorry…"
Is she really apologizing?
"Sorry about what? If that is your opinion about me, I have to respect that, now start walking or you will freeze" we must get out of this forest or she will be in danger…
"Natsuki-san please wait, I'm really sorry about wh-"
"Didn't you hear what I just said? I respect your opinion, so let's keep moving" That sounded somewhat harsh I hope that she doesn't think I'm angry of something…
Now I am walking in these snowy grounds with that royal woman, she really made me change my opinion about the royal ladies…they are definitely not fat or ugly…at least not this one, but it is true that they have a wrong idea of the Nordic people.
The sun is starting to hide, I am worried about her, the night in this forest could be like a frozen hell for foreigners, and she was starting to shiver with cold. I knew that the best was to find a place to stay, but the forest, is not only dangerous for it's coldness, it's also because is the raiders domain. The raiders are a band of thieves that don't know the meaning of the word "honor", I better stay alert, for both of our sakes.
"You must be freezing, please take this…" I handed her my furry black and white coat, I don't need it, I am already used to this coldness.
"But Natsuki-san doesn't need it?" why this person is so nice to me? I thought that they had no manners…
"No…I'm already used to this weather, so you need it more than me… hey! your feet are all wet! With those weird shoes that you are wearing, they will be frozen in no time!"
"Ara ara, how rude! I didn't know that I would end up in the middle of a frozen forest…"
"Um sorry…that's true…uh…well allow me to carry you, until we find a place to stay?"
"A place to stay?…I must refuse! I want to go back now…"
"Well it was you the one that was trying to escape…plus, why do you want to go back? You say that you didn't want to get married with a savage…" I wonder with whom she is going to get married. Hah, it must be a very lucky person…
"As I already told you I have to go back, and I need you to help me Natsuki-san. as much as I don't want to get married I have to explain to that Kruger that I don't want to marry someone that I don't like and of course I don't know!, maybe he will understand my reasons and cancel the arranged marriage!"
Wait a second did she just say…KRUGER? Shit…shit…shit…what I'm supposed to do? Tell her the truth or pretend that I am someone else? Hell she doesn't have a good impression about me…I must not let her know who I am yet…she could start running away from me and putting herself in danger…
"And how do you know that you don't like our majesty? You have not seen Kruger-sama yet." I just have to pretend until she is safe…
"But I don't have to Natsuki-san…maybe he is an unmannered wild man with a horrible beard" ara just the thought of it makes me sick…
"Huh? Well you might be surprised when you find out" hahaha do I look like that to you? Really, if she just finds out that I am her fiancée…she might be more than surprised
"And why Natsuki-san says that?" she must know him…
"Because Kruger-sama is quite the opposite of what you said"
"For you maybe…you are used to that kind of persons, but for me he and his servants are all savages…" well...this Natsuki person is neither uncivilized nor unmannered…she must be an exception…
"Ok… as I already told you lady, that is your opinion and I have to respect that, but right now you have to let me carry you until we find a place to stay" maybe…just maybe I can do something to change your mind…
"Carry me! I would never allow suc-…" she did it! However, how can she be so strong? This Nordic people are strange…
So I am carrying this royal princess through this frozen hell, the silence in the forest is only interrupted by the sound of my footsteps on the snowy ground. For her it is impossible to see in this darkness, but because of my "wolf secret", I can see clearly in the night, and that is when I spotted a camp in the horizon, but that only means that I have just found the raiders domain…
"Lady…listen to me please, you have to stay very quiet, no matter what happens. We are approaching to the raider's domain. Those people are the real savages and I have to protect you, so please just do as I said"
"Natsuki-san should really stop calling me like that, is it because she doesn't like my name?" Why I am behaving like this in front her?…she is a stranger…
"Huh… N-no it's nothing like that…I'm sorry Shi-Shi-zuru-san…"
"Ara? How Natsuki-san knows that we are near a camp? I do not see anything; I can barely see my own hands in this darkness…"
"Trust me Shizuru-san; I am really serious about this. I cannot let them do anything to you…If anything happens to you I wouldn't forgive myself…" hell why did I said such a thing? And why my face feels kind of hot…thanks to Kami that is dark enough...
"Oh…but why is Natsuki-san so eager to protect me?" what is this strange feeling?
"Because I know that Kruger-sama wants me to. Our majesty will never let anything to happen to you. Even when a stranger is in danger, we should give our utmost to save them. And we do not care about losing our own life for it".
"Please let me apologize again, I called you many times a savage, and now I understand how wrong I was. And…this Kruger…is he kind and sweet like Natsuki-san?
"Huh…well…I…Don…Don't kn…"
Then I could not finish my sentence, I only remember my face hitting the cold ground.
Raider's domain
I try to open my eyes, but I can't see anything clearly, I tried to move but I wince because of a slight pain in the back of my head. Last thing that I remembered is that I was carrying Shizuru.
Shizuru…SHIZURU??? Where is she???
"What do we have here? Finally our lucky day has come. We got both, a beauty and the leader of the scum"
I finally realize were I am. The voice of that thug and the pain in my head could only mean that the raiders captured us.
Scum??? That bastard…wait a second…they have her!!! I must protect her…
"Scum huh? I wonder who the real scum is…a tribe of loyalty and honor or a band of maggots that murder innocents, I just hope for your own well being bastard, that you haven't done anything to her, you wouldn't like ME when I'm pissed"
"Shut up you rabid dog! You are not in a good situation to do your stupid smart – talk"
That bastard is approaching me and I receive a kick in my stomach, the pain is unbearable but I'm just focused on the fact that they caught Shizuru, I try to move but I realize that both of my hands and legs are chained to the wall, I need to do something or those thugs would hurt her.
"And look at what we have here; she is really a beauty, pity that she is not going to be yours"
"Don't touch her! Or I will kill you" I swear that if you hurt her, I will not only kill you, I will also kill every single one of your soldiers.
"Are you angry? And what can you do, chained so miserably in the wall Kruger?
And that's when I see the expression on Shizuru's face, now she knows who I am, I couldn't describe the painful sensation that her astonished expression caused in my chest, but she is in danger…even if she loathes me, she is still my fiancée…my priority is to protect her.
"Natsuki-san?..." Kruger? So she is the leader of the Norse people…I can't believe it…
"Shizuru-san…" please stop looking me in that way…
"That's enough you two! Now why don't we take a closer look to this beauty?"
"I already told you…don't you dare to touch her!"
"Who you think you are to give me orders? Maybe you rule between the scum, but here you are only shit. Now this lady going to be mine"
"Don't touch me you filthy savage!"
"Don't call me like that again! You filthy bitch" SLAP
That bastard raised his hand and I witness how the raider slapped her after hearing her calling him savage, and I felt the rage increasing, and I knew what was about to happen, the fangs, the increasing rage and my inhuman strength…I broke the chains that were holding me, now it is time for them to be punished.
"Boss look at that! Kruger is a monster!"
"It's a werewolf! What are we going to do boss?
"Shut up cowards! Now start attacking that monster!"
I am terrified, after the savage slapped me; I noticed how Kruger-san broke the chains that were holding her. She just falls into her knees and starts transforming herself in something that I thought that was just a myth: A werewolf. It is gigantic, the fur is midnight blue and white, the claws and the fangs look as sharps as daggers and the most impressive feature are her eyes, they were pale and icy, almost transparent.
"Now now, why that long faces? Aren't you and your scumbags going to attack me? Is this is everything that you got, this is going to be boring… very boring indeed" why don't I cut those miserable idiots in a half? No…were is the fun on that…
"Shut up you monster! I am going to finish you by myself!"
I am now even more scared not only Kruger-san appearance changed, her attitude is different, is almost evil. She suddenly disappears for and moment and reappears behind the thief grabbing him by the head and raising him in the air.
"You insolent fool actually dares to call this a fight? And look at your men, they are almost pissing themselves ha! What a bunch of cowards you have at your service!"
"arrg let me go! Monster!!!"
"Silence! And stay still until I finish checking what you have done…"
I could feel my heartbeats resonating on my ears, the werewolf; no…Kruger-san is approaching to were I am chained. Her free hand reaches my cheek and cups it. Her icy eyes staring directly at me.
"Look at what he has done to you, your lovely face has been slapped by this bastard. Do not worry about that my beloved; he will pay for this insolence. Does is still hurts?"
I am surprised by her actions and I feel my cheeks slightly burning, how should I answer to her question? This werewolf appearance is frightening, but why do I feel somewhat attracted towards her "evil" behavior.
"Y-yes it still hurts…" that fool must pay for trying to hurt Kruger-san and for hurting me…
"That is everything that I needed to hear. Do you know scumbag? I am not very forgiving, you use your filthy hands to stole, murder and do as you want with innocents, do you really think that you are getting out of this, after touching my beloved one with those same disgusting hands? I must look for an appropriate punishment for you"
"P-please forgive me Kruger-sama…please"
"Stop begging like a dog! It is futile now…we were talking about punishment right? Why I don't cut you in pieces and feed my boys with your flesh? No…that is not a good idea, it would be disrespectful for them, and my wolves don't like to eat rubbish…"
"I would do anything, please spare my life…I beg of you!"
"But your hands…your filthy hands…you are very attached to them aren't you? After all, you commit all kinds of atrocities with them! Let's make them useless forever…"
I couldn't stand watching such a thing, I just hear bones crushing and the loud scream of the thief that is now yelling and crawling in the floor. I look how Kruger-san breaks my chains and she grabs me in her arms, she turns her head towards the thieves that are in the room.
"This is what actually happens to those who have no honor at all, what you have all witnessed today was just a part of the power that we the Norse Wolves possess, you better stop stealing and hurting innocents, or the full wrath of me and my brothers would fall upon all of you"
Kruger-san tightens the grip on her hands and jumps across the window. Together we travel towards the palace, in the middle of the cold night.
A/N: I am sorry if werewolf natsuki was too violent…when she transforms is like her darker side taking over her…that is why she was more confident, hehe let's see until were her confidence lasts!...and if you guys have any suggestions or anything I would like to hear them! Please review….
