Chapter #6let her join you by: Unknown "alright you can join me" you say. "thank you master" she replies. You are thrown by being called master, before you can think you respond, "call me Erik". Before you cut her lose you realize that having the poisons around might be a bad idea if she turns against you, with all your might you throw them into the woods. as you untie her you say "so do you have a name or should I just call you imp?" she is surprised by this question "no I don't have a name" she says as you help her up.
the two of you begin walking and you ask her "if this code exists than why did you wait until after I broke your wings to mention it?". "well I tried to seduce you first, you were able to resist me, how?" she asks. you think back to your crush at home but say "you are a bit old for me". "that's an excuse" she exclaims, "am I not attractive? are you into men?" she probes. you are shocked and turn to answer but see a rabbit girl behind her about to attack.
"Get Down!" you shout as you push the imp to the ground. the rabbit girl jumps and kicks you causing you to step back. "like what you see"? she says while striking a seductive pose. you draw your sword and slash at her. she however is not as surprised as the imp was and jumps back. as your sword passes helplessly past her she kicks your hand disarming you. she grabs your arms, you struggle to free yourself but she is too strong.
"hya" shouts the imp as she strikes the rabbit girl with a stick, catching her off guard and causing her to release her grip. the imp swings the stick again but this time the rabbit girl is ready, she catches the branch mid swing and kicks the imp in the lower abdomen. "what is an imp like you doing helping a newbie like him?" she asked as she kicked the imp again causing her to fall to the ground. you take your coat off, "Get Away from Her" you shout as you take the Rabbit girl by surprise. you use your coat as a garrote and pull the rabbit girl back. "insolent Child!!" she shouts as she pulls the coat from your hands and throws it onto the imp. the rabbit girl elbows you in the solar plexus causing you to gasp for breath. you attempt to tackle her but she throws you to the ground next to the imp. "now you Will both die!!!" she shouts.
A sudden rustling from the woods makes the three of you turn and look. a wolf girl bleeding from the shoulder bursts out of the forest as she runs past a knight wearing chainmail with a steel chest plate came out of the forest on a horse. the rabbit girl turned to run away but the knight pulled out a crossbow and fired. the bolt hit the rabbit girl in the ankle and she fell to the ground. the knight rode up next to the wolf girl and with a kick knocked her to the ground. he dismounted his horse and turned to face the wolf girl. by the time he turned she was on her feet and lunged at him with her claws. in a movement too fast for you to see the knight drew his sword and sliced the arm off of his attacker. before she could ever scream he stabbed her in the thigh, then once again kicked her over. as she struggled to get up he grabbed the back of her head and in one swift motion decapitated the wolf girl.
this knight was incredible, you thought. then it occurred to you that he could probably kill your imp just by looking at her. In order to protect her, you put your coat on her covering her wing from view. the knight walked over to the rabbit girl who was now on her feet. "stay away" she pleaded. the knight approached and *SMACK* slapped the rabbit girl across the face. "you have no honor, attacking helpless children" he said. in an instant the rabbit girl too fell to the ground headless. the knight cleaned and sheathed his blade. then he approached you.
"are you kids ok?" he asked as he helped you up. "yes thank you..." you reply. "sir Justin" he finishes, "and what should I call you?". "I'm Erik" you reply then thinking of the imp you say "and this is Jessica". "I am an adventurer just starting my journey when I ran into Jessica, then we were attacked by the rabbit girl." you explain. "if you don't mind me asking, what is a child your age doing being an unarmed adventurer and protecting young women?" you look to your imp and think that she does look young, barely over 18 if she were human, then you realize you don't have your sword. "well I have a wooden sword, and is it not an adventurers responsibility to protect the helpless? which by the way sir Justin you are amazing at. would you enlighten a novice like myself on how you got so good?" you answer then change the subject. "let me ask you a question, what is the scourge of this land?" he asks you. "monster girls!" you reply a little too excitedly. "exactly, but what these monster girls don't know is that I am a married man, and trust me I would be in a lot more danger if my wife found out I even thought about doing anything other than killing a monster girl than I would be fighting ten monster girls blindfolded." he chuckled a bit at his words then continued, "my advice is find yourself a lady, one who wont let you get away with anything, and get a real sword".
Sir Justin offers to escort you and your imp to the port. while you know you would be safe doing this, if he found about your imp he would no doubt kill her in an instant. unsure of what to do you begin talking to your imp. "sorry for calling you Jessica" you say. "it's ok, I like the name, I think I'll keep it." she said. "while this Sir Justin is great I am afraid that if we go with him he may kill you." you explain. "Erik you are in charge, I am subservient remember. I'll do whatever you decide." she reassures you.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
