Fantasy Hunter and the Hunted

[Crankcase]

Draco chewed on her food somewhat. It was apparent she wasn't here for her life despite having been hired for such an endeavor. On top of her not exactly being welcomed in the area, after too many years to count and way to many bodies turned to frozen statues. Looking at the fire her eyes looked a little softer than before. "I suppose you won't get paid for the job unless I am to leave. Did the humans want proof of job completion?"

 

[DemonGirl]

"I don't wish you to leave," She stated simply as she smiled at her and went to hug her. "I don't need pay.I was just curious"

 

[Crankcase]

She was a very strange hunter. But still, the area they were in, wasn't the most condusive to supporting life. Besides the occasional group of deer even she had to travel far to find food, and even then she could go weeks without eating. "Well if you intent is to make a life out here, you will find it hard as this region doesn't have many animals."

 

[DemonGirl]

"Well my intent wasn't to make a life out here. But I just wish to stay with you." She explained turning slightly red.

 

[Crankcase]

Draco looked at her slightly perplexed. She doesn't want her to leave, nor does she plan to make a life out here kind of ironic as the two are not mutually exclusive. She was caught off guard when she was hugged, as it was not something dragons are used to. "So what did you plan on doing then? If you don't want me to leave, then you will end up having to make a life here if you desire to stay with me. However, if you don't want to stay but still wish to live with me, then that means I would end up having to leave."

 

[DemonGirl]

"I will make a life out here if it means I may stay with you." She whispered before pulling away. "After last night I kind of hoped you felt as I do. And I'm not sure if you do. But I enjoy your presence therefore I will stay." She smiled a sweet and friendly smile.

Draco tossed another log onto the fire as the temperature in the room rose to a more comfortable level for Amber since she was not an ice dragon. "This region is not suited for you to survive well in if one could survive at all if they didn't stockpile food during the warm season." She said leaning back on the furs. It had been several centuries since she moved into this region. Maybe, just maybe, it was time for her to pack up and explore new regions.

"I don't know anything of the outside world beyond this regions borders. I'm sure there is a region or two out there that would be easier to survive in, that wouldn't require starving yourself between meals, not knowing when the next meal will stumble through the trees." Taking a deep breath and exhaling, "I feel as though you would probably be happier taking me somewhere warmer, rather then living in this frozen landscape anyways."

 

[DemonGirl]

Her face lit up at what she was saying. "Ok" She smiled wide. "I will give you time to pack and say goodbye. If that is what you desire." She wanted her to be happy so she sat by the fire quietly. "And if you require more time you can take it." She said before resuming her sitting.

 

[Crankcase]

Draco raised an eyebrow and looked around the cave. "Who or what would I be saying goodbye too? It is only the two of us in here after all." She asked with some slight confusion. Besides a very small amount of clothes and the furs, all she had was a few pieces of meat from deer she had hunted several days earlier. "What does the rest of the world thing about dragons?" She simply asked not sure what she should expect to run into or find.

 

[DemonGirl]

She shook her head as she shrugged. "I guess it depends. I've been to many towns. Some hunt dragons, some respect then, some even worship them." She explained. "I've always respected dragon's with their grace and beauty."

 

[Crankcase]

Draco's interest was piqued slightly, namely at the last thing she had mentioned about Dragons grace and beauty. She had only known a handful of other dragons namely other ice dragons in her clan, none of who she would consider having beauty or grace. Makes her wonder what clans she might be referring too, or what her standards of beauty and grace would be. Shrugging her shoulders she got up and rolled her clothes into the furs and tied a rope around it so it wouldn't be a hassle to move. All that was left was grabbing the food as well. "Well, you will be the tour guide for the new regions." She picked up another smaller bag and stuffed it into the furs. "I have plenty of money I took off all the dead hunters. So that shouldn't be an issue for staying in towns. I just won't know what is a good deal or who is trying to be a ripoff."

 

[DemonGirl]

She laughed slightly at that and nodded. "I am very good with figuring those things out. Also don't worry. I wont let us stay in any towns that hunt dragon's and even the towns that worship them can get a little much." She explained as she led her out and through the snowy woods. Though it was slow as she was starting to get colder. She was shivering as they walked.

 

[Crankcase]

Draco had everything on her back as they trudged through the snow. The depth of the snow and the temperature not effecting her in the slightest, couldn't help but see that Amber was not in the greatest position, since she was slowing down and shivering like a tree in a blizzard. Pulling one of the furs out of the pack she placed it over Amber before picking her up and putting her on her back. "Just try to stay warm. I'll get you to a warmer climate so you don't turn into an elf-cicle." She said moving at a faster pace through the snow, than what Amber would be able to accomplish.

 

[DemonGirl]

She nodded and held onto her back wanting to bury her face in her neck. She debated it for a few minutes before deciding not to. She did rest her head on her shoulder. She was happy with Draco there. She wanted to keep her so badly. She wanted to be hers.

 

[Crankcase]

Draco moved at blistering speeds, covering miles in mere strides. Even if someone were to try and track them, the distance covered as well as the distance between footprints would make it neigh impossible to follow with any accuracy. After a couple hours of running, she slowed down after the snow vanished from the ground and the temperature in the air sitting in the 40's. As she slowed to a stop it was in the middle of a green forest. She let Amber down off her back, before finally seeing that the amount of running through brush had cause rips and tears in her clothing.
