章節 10: The Invitation

Tarou got back to his human form quickly, and join his brother.

_ So, I think I owe you an apology and a thanking.

Said the witch from above.

- Don't flirt yourself too much, witch.

She glared, then jumped in front of them.

- My name is Sarra. I understand why you hate witches, but I think I did clear my name just now.

- She is right, Tarou. You must thank her. She did help you a lot unlike me...I could only watch you.

Aaron was depressed because he couldn't do anything to help his brother.

- Don't forget what the Monk said to you. You have great power. It will be unsealed at the right time.

Replied Tarou, then he looked at Sarra

- Thank you for today. But don't expect me to believe that you are a good witch.

- What if I show you?

- What do you mean?

- First of all, You must know that what I did drained all my power.

- What do you want?

- Spend the night with me.

Tarou's face turned red, he was too surprised that he couldn't even answer.

" How could she ask something like that from someone she just met? "

As for Aaron, he was holding his laugh when he saw his brother in such a state.

Sarra couldn't understand their reaction:

- What's wrong? I'm just inviting you guys to be my guests tonight.

At that moment, Aaron burst into laughter.

- HAHAHAH

- Why are you laughing?

- Look at Tarou's face and you will know.

- Shut up Aaron.

Said Tarou while punching him in the waist.

- Let's end this here. I'm sorry Sarra, but we can't do that, we must continue our travel.

Sarra sat on the ground, she seemed very tired:

- Don't tell me you are going to leave a beautiful woman alone in the middle of nowhere. I have no power left to return to my house.

- Come on, Tarou let's escort her. we will only spend the night at her house, then tomorrow morning you should go back to the land. father might be worried.

At that moment Tarou remember what Alan asked him to do.

" Right, Father! I forgot about him. He asked me to help Aaron to skip the snow, but I ended up following him. Now I must escort this witch to her home. How it did turn out like that? Well, spending another night won't harm. "

Tarou sighed, he put his hands on his head, then he decided :

-Fine, we will go with her, but it doesn't mean I trust her.

- I'm the girl here!! I should be the one with the trust issue.

- Where is your home, by the way?

-It is in the next town, we must pass through this forest to get there.

- I can fly above.

-Well, if you don't mind being seen, do it. This forest is always full of hunters.

-What about you? You can use your magic and get ahead of us.

- As I said, I have no magic left. Besides, how can a host leave his guests alone? Where are my manners?

-You know that you sound very suspicious, don't you?

- Let's go we don't have all the day to chat.

Replied Sarra while looking away.

" She definitely hides something"

The three of them kept walking until they went deep into the forest. Tarou felt like someone was watching them all along, who he might be?

He was very suspicious about Sara too.

" She insisted on inviting us and walking back to her home while she can return in a blink of an eye, Why did she bother? I must keep an eye on her and stay alert, maybe it is a trap"

The sun has set, and they are still in the middle of the forest.

Tarou glared at Sarra:

-I thought you said it is not far.

-Well, it didn't seem that far by train.

Replied Sarra with an innocent face.

- Are you dumb?

- Stop it, both of you. It seems that the town is still far from here, I think we must eat something and have some rest for tonight, tomorrow morning we will keep going.

章節 11: The Forest Camp

Sarra and Aaron set fire while Tarou tried to hunt something for dinner.

Aaron kept watching Sarra in case she will do something, but she was acting too normal for a powerful witch.

- You seem excited.

- I like camping so much...

- How did you know that we are monsters?

- Well, I'm a witch...We know every creature has been living on the earth, unlike humans. They are the most ignorant among everyone.

- You don't intend to hurt us, right?

- I know that most witches are evil, but I'm not...I can't harm, even a fly.

Somehow Sarra seemed honest which put Aaron at ease.

After some time, Tarou came with a rabbit:

- Oh, you caught a rabbit. Give it to me, I will help you to cook it.

- It's okay, I can do it myself...

Sarra tried to act as much normal as she could, but she couldn't prevent herself from staring at Tarou.

Aaron approached her and whispered in her ear:

- Hey, Sarra. Do you like my brother?

At that moment Sarra's face turned red.

- What? No....of course, not! I'm just amazed by his skills.

Aaron sighed:

- You are so obvious.

- Am I?

- Don't worry, I won't tell him, but for your sake, you need to let it go. He will go back soon to our land and maybe never get out again.

Sarra's face became gloomy:

- This is not fair...

Tarou suddenly called for them:

-What are you talking about, both of you? The food is ready, let's eat.

Aaron was very tired, he slept immediately. As for Tarou, he stayed awake to guard them. Sarra decided to take the chance to get closer to him.

" I waited so long for this...I can do it. "

She sat beside him, but Tarou turned his back to her. He clearly didn't want to talk to her. The situation became very awkward.

Sarra tried to break the silence:

- So, we are still at the beginning of the night, why don't we talk about ourselves?

- Why don't you go to sleep?

Tarou's behavior made her more nervous.

" What should I do? He is very hostile toward me. Will I be able to change his mind and gain his trust? "

- I... I don't want to sleep...Do you like to play a game?

- .......

- You shouldn't treat a lady like that.

-.......

- Are you going back to your land?

- Yes, I am.

- What about Aaron?

- He must be on his own.

-So tomorrow night will be your last night with him. I will make sure you will remember it for the rest of your life.

He looked at her with eyes full of anger :

- I still don't know what you are scheming, but if something bad happens to Aaron, I will chase you to the end of the earth.

- Hey, look at my eyes...do I look that evil?

- I know that you are doing all of this on purpose you better tell me what you want from us.

Sarra laid down and pretended to be tired.

- Good night.

" Nothing works with him. Do I look that bad? I can't let him know the truth, not yet. All I did will go in vain. "

At dawn, they continued their path to the town.

Sarra was unusually silent. She didn't say a word.

- Did something happen between the two of you yesterday? Asked Aaron.

- What could possibly happen between me and your cold heart brother?

- Were you expecting something else? Replied Tarou

Aaron couldn't understand what they were talking about.

- Why do I feel like I'm the third wheel here?

Suddenly Tarou stopped:

-Shut up everyone, listen carefully.

There was a sound coming from the branches.

Tarou immediately attacked the place.

- TAROU! WHAT IS IT?

- It is just an animal.

Tarou's uneasy feeling didn't fade away. And because of that, he was suspecting Sarra.

- Let's get out of here.

Sarra suddenly stopped and looked at the top of a tree:

- I think that someone has been following us, since yesterday.

Tarou became confused:

" If she has nothing to do with it. Then who is it?"

- The town is ahead of us, come on.
