Chapter 56

They began the journey after soaked in each other's essences. It is a journey that is quite the affectionate one and passionate one, because even after they have reminded each other that they are moving to the borders where they hope to create something new, they cannot help but just be with one another and come up with a different excuses to touch one another because the feeling of not being close to one another affects each of them in a way they have not come to know until now.Vixen is seated at the carriage as it begins to go and a hand is resting on Hunter as the road ride is filled with a lot of bumps and all sorts.Would we be getting to the borders before evening falls? She asks him and he stares out the window seeing that the daylight is much upon them and then he faces her.Hopefully, he says so. She nods her head in understanding. So are you still prescribed to thinking about what we have? Do you honestly thunk that we are something strong enough?"Because I can tell from the many times that you called my name that you had such a strong grip on whatever we did, when we touched. She asks him and Hunter turns his face to the windows, and she realizes that a part of his face is literally smiling.And so she grabs on to that fact that she literally caught him smiling, and then she forces him to look at her."For goodness sakes, Hunter look at me when I speak to you and tell me what you think about this." Do you think we have a chance!? She says and he holds her hand before he begins to tell her what he truly believes." Of course, I believe we have a shot at this." I have shown it to you and I will continue to do so anytime soon as long as we are together in this…what is it rendezvous."I cannot believe we are talking about this, from what I hear women are not supposed to be so poised in talking about matters of this." Hunter says.Hunter, you do realize we have crossed all the limits right? We are not married couples and yet we have done the deed. Any moment now, you realize right at this moment I could be a pregnant young woman.The moment she says that she literally sees a shock on his face and it looks like."We have done something forbidden, pregnancy is expected. She says and he nods his head in disapproval the moment he hears Vixen say that.You must be kidding.Of course not. I'm not kidding.Why exactly did you not tell me?Tell you? I know you are about to blame me for everything that has taken place between the both of us. "You are the one who couldn't let me go, Vixen you are the one who came up all around me.""And I…I was supposed to let you go? He says so it takes a moment to look at him speak." He doesn't tell of his feelings.He doesn't say so much but when he does, he literally leaves her within to not worry, are going to understand what this is. But one thing he is for sure that I may never be able to marry another man for not what they would wish their woman to be.Are you sure about that? From what I know, the men of Southland would bow at your feet to have a conversation with you?I don't think you're spoiled yet. He says and she places her hand upon her lips as she hears the words he has used to describe her.Spoiled?"Yes, they will support you." Hunter says to her."I guess, I have been spoiled by you. ""It had to be done." She says and he lets his eyes roam to her hand where the bead is and then he grabs ahold of a hand.I'll protect you. He says to her and wishes she would understand that seriously, like he's about to say something deeper than what he has already said. And she looks at him.She cannot even believe that they're having this conversation. It feels miraculous that they have built something like this in such a short while. And then she nods her head in correspondence to what he said believing that he will protect her just like he has sought."Of course, Hunter I believe you, I know you will protect me." She says and the become silent.They spend about six hours on the road before they stop to rest and to do whatever before they carry on the journey once again. She goes to the nearby river where she washes her face as she folds her gowns across when she walks around the forest.And she begins to head back to try carriage and she hears noise coming from the outer part of the forest and she realizes that she needs to take cover and head back to the vicinity where Hunter will have access to protect in case anything was out of the ordinary.As Vixen is heading back, a man jumps in front her and stops her from moving forward and a moment's glance of when he sees her, she can tell that he is up to no good.Hey little angel, where are you going? He says to her and he licks his lips and he moves around.She knows that she has to run away one way or the other. She has to find a way to escape what is in front of her but she doesn't know how she would do it.She looks around her and she find a that is more men that parade around the forest just like him.She has to get to Hunter before they can grab a hold of this situation. Vixen knows that she is incapable of doing anything separate: The man is trying to make her feel threaten as she moves back and he steps closer to her.The moment she finds that his attention is quite shaken from her, she knows that she has a good advantage that they can hold onto.Then, she begins to run and her gown is not helping her pave way.First, she knows she has to find Hunter and before she can literally think about it, he grabs her as she is running and it is almost as if she can tell when she's in danger.Hunter is standing right in front of her and he has drawn his sword out to the man who proves to be dangerous. The man stops immediately when he finds that Vixen is not alone.Now that Hunter has faced the man, more men begin to erupt from a corner of the forest and together and they face he and Vixen. All right in front of them, they are six men in total.Hunter and Vixen.The funny thing about this literally is that Vixen has no way of being able to fight back, she wonders if Hunter is really capable of taking on there men.Hunter takes out his sword and begins to parade around these men as he holds Vixen at one corner point and then before he begins fighting, he looks at her.Vixen, run! He says and she begins to sprint into the forest and she begins to hear the clash of man against sword and sword against man. After running for a few minutes, she realizes that she cannot turn back from him and leave him to fight.She stops running and then faces back.She realizes that she cannot run off and leave him. If they have come here to fight for each other then they have to do just that, what was the essence of running here together to be a part of the unjustifiable punishments if she didn't fight the battles to.Vixen stops running, she is scared out of that wits but she will not run away so easily especially when it is Hunter that she is fighting for. Vixen feels sweet falling off her forehead as she turns back and begins to run back into the place where she can hear the clashes of sword.
