CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Taredd

It seemed that no matter how hard he tried not to, he was continuously putting his foot in it with Natalia. He would understand if he did actually keep forgetting that she was a Human, but he didn't, so he couldn't use it as an excuse. He just didn't appear to be able to think before he spoke while he was around her.

Taredd was coming to the conclusion that it was Natalia herself. She was the reason he wasn’t himself at the moment. Maybe she was part Witch and had cast a spell on him.

That could explain why she didn't act anything at all like the other Humans he had come across so far. It was the only explanation he could come up with as to why he was acting so out of sorts.

The sooner they reach the others, the better. If she had such a strong effect on him in the short amount of time they have been together, then Taredd dreaded to think what it would be like if he spent an extended period of time with her.

It was a shame she needed to sleep every night, because if they didn't have to stop so often, then they could have caught up with Arun and Dain a hell of a lot sooner. As it was, they were going to be lucky if they caught up with them within a week.

At this rate, it was going to be closer to two weeks, if not more. To top it all, she wasn't the fastest at walking either, which really wasn't helping. Even now he had to slow his pace so she could keep up with him.

Taredd hoped that when she was finally asleep, he could put some space between them physically. If whatever it was that was wrong with him had anything to do with being in close proximity to her, then putting some space between them might be all that was needed for him to pull himself back together.

But first, he needed to be certain that she was fast asleep, otherwise she might take his absence as the perfect opportunity to escape. Hopefully he could at least get his shit together enough for them to reach Arun and Dain.

Taredd didn't know what was going to happen after that. He promised Natalia that she wouldn’t die, but if he let her go, someone else might come along and finish her off. If that happened, he would have broken his promise.

The thought of someone killing her angered Taredd more than he expected, and definitely more than it should have. Not willing to look too deeply at why he had that reaction towards the thought of her death just yet, so he filed it away to look at later.

Mentally he shook his head to clear his thoughts and knelt down next to the trap to untangle the rabbit it caught.

"Have we caught something?" Natalia asked as she walked up behind him.

Even though Taredd told her to follow him, he’d completely forgotten to check if she actually was or not.
