CHAPTER SEVEN

Fherin

I swear I was going to kill whatever this was for interrupting us. I swear I was so close to simply claiming her until this ...thing showed up.

I dashed outside with my armor barely on and the beast lunged onto me, smacking my loosely fitted armor off. I swing my axe but miss and the beast swipes at me, grazing me on the chest with its sharp claws. I surface and carefully hoist my axe up, without my armor the cold was quickly getting to me and I was shivering.

"I won't let you have her." I snarled as I looked into the sets of eyes on each side of the beast's face. It was a Hiruden, one of the biggest ones that I have ever seen. It was easily twice as big as the other ones that I had fought earlier and much more aggressive.

"GRAH!" I heard from above and rolled to avoid another one of them lunging at me. I snarled and shivered from the cold before rushing in to swing my axe. I caught one of them on the side before the other lunged at my back and grazed me with its claws. The blood trickles down and freezes in the snow.

How the hell do they keep finding this cave? I suppose it was all due to their shape sense of smell.

I was faced with an enemy that I couldn't quite outpace and the cold was not helping my chances. I looked back to the cave that they were backing towards and decided to lunge forward for another attempt to kill them both. If they swiped at my neck or a vital artery then I would be a goner.

But I didn't need to wait.

"Hey!" cried a voice. I looked towards the cavern's entrance. It was Natalie and she was holding....a stick with some burning paper on the end of it?

"What are you doing?" I called out to her and she shakes her head.

The Hirudens seemed to be a bit wary of the flame and I quickly took advantage of their distraction. I lunged on top of one of them and cleaved it in half with my axe before tossing my axe at the other and catching it at the hind leg. I get on top of it and tore into its head with my claws before crushing its skull. I looked back to her and she sighed before walking back inside.

"That was dangerous!" I called out.

"For you maybe. Come in. I'll patch you up!" she said.

"You were supposed to be in bed!"

"And you're supposed to sit your stubborn ass down and let me heal you!"

"Whatever." I said with a smile before walking back in. I wasn't going to complain about having her hands on me again.
