Chereads / The Kingdom Witch / Chapter 4 - Pox the Familar

Chapter 4 - Pox the Familar

having a new order, Pox soars silently over the camp. His orders were clear....get his mistress her items. So he starts by rummaging through various tents... scrambling items everywhere

the crow caws n squawks as he rifles through various tents. His cries n caws frustrated and irritated as he has no luck...so far.

Sir Luke was near and he finishes bandaging up his hand opening the tent door. Pox flies straight into Luke's face as he opens the tent door...his tent now a huge mess.

he puts his hands up protecting his face as he stumbles back.

".. your ..., what do you want..?"

he says trying to swat the bird away

pox caws and squawks loudly..his talons scrambled along his face as he flew passed n towards moi and Shawn..

Sir Luke..angered now..he tries to move his head away before quickly reaching out and grabbing the crows leg as it tried to fly away, not to fast.

Moi glances towards the camp from where she stood with Shawn behind the tree; a few paces away from the campfire

".. what's going on-.."

flying at moi...the crow attacks her head..yanking at her hair with his feet n beak..trying to take a lock of her hair.

She yells out, ducking down as she throws her arms up protectively over her head.

" fucking hell!.."

Luke running towards them...he follows the crow trying to hit it away..

"what's your problem..?"

pox caws n squawks still yanking at moi hair till a bit is pulled and he flies off with his prize.

Trying best he could.. Luke finally hits the crow clipping it's leg as it flies away looking back to moi.

"hey you ok?" He asks looking at her with concern.

she rubs her head, grumbling a bit- before looking up at Luke from where she had kneeled.

".. yeah, I'm fine-.."

"..It did it to me too, took some of my hair and tried to take the crystal...". Luke confessed.

after a while..the bird returned..going through more tents...faint sounds of items being knocked over.

"..It's back..", he sighs walking over to the tents, "..your gonna get it I swear.."

As Luke turned to leave, Moi shrugged and began to walk towards the woods.

pox went inside moires tent this time...rifling through her belongings.

"..That's it I'm done with you,.."

he walks to the tent standing by the door silently ready to jump it.

pox picks up a tiny chip of moires armor in his beak and looked about..he sees a tear in the tent and went towards it.

he tries to peek through the door to see where the bird is. But he was gone.

" You sneaky shit..". Luke retorted into the messed up tent.

the crow had squeezed through the tear and headed to the tent of Luke's. He grabbed a bit of a torn shirt of his in his talons and flew back through the tents door.

he sees the crow leave his tent looking over to it. "..I'm never gonna catch it am I..? " He asked aloud.

Moire leans back against the tree, watching Luke look like an idiot over a bird.

With a new semi thought of plan..Luke tries to sneak up to the bird staying against the tents.

pox hid the items in a random tree n sees the man trying to catch him...his caws out almost sounding like a taunting laugh.

he lunges out trying to grab its leg..Luke jumped as far as he could.

Pox squawks loudly and flutters up. He grabbed the items and flew into the woods.

Moire watched..arms crossed and shaking her head.

"..wow Luke..."

he huffs walking back into his tent starting to clean it back up again..Luke felt both embarrassed and frustrated.

Moire laughed holding her sides..she calls out to luke

" ..you looked idiotic-.."

"..oh shut it you..", he just rolls his eyes disappearing into the tent putting everything back in its place...she laughs, following him to his tent as she opens the door and they go inside
