Night has fallen and I stare out my window, its nearly been a week since that snake came by, i cant stop thinking about him. Being held in his arms, the way his body felt against mine.
All week I have been pushed for a decision on a first mate. Iv asked for time to get to know the males and non of them hold my interest. Today I at least got a break from the constant 'choose me' but I don't want any of the males here. They all are different but compared to the snake, that wild beastman. I can't forget how I felt. I want to see him again.
I sigh. I need to get to sleep, well.. try to sleep. I walk over and lay down, closing my eyes and trying to sleep. I get off thinking about him and how it would feel to be under him. Sadly even getting myself off, isn't helping me sleep. I sigh.
"Please come save me" I whisper to the dark, emptiness of my room.
I toss and turn for what seems like hours. I sigh. It feels like something is missing, but I don't know what that is. How can something be missing when nothing is different? I tried keeping my eyes closed and laying still. Putting my attention into listening to the wind outside. I sigh. The village has added more to the village guard, so maybe he can't sneak in, or maybe he isn't of this world anymore. The thought saddens me. I want to see him again. Knowing I won't be able to sleep i peak out my door and notice most the guards are asleep. I guess it makes sense as for the past week most have been over worked. I take a deep breath and quietly make my way out of the village. It's so quiet and I actually don't see one guard awake. I feel bad for them, being so tired they can't even stay awake. All cause of me. If a real threat came right now, the village would be wiped out. It would be all my fault cause they were over worked. I know me leaving will have every male on duty in trouble for not doing their job right.
I come to the entrance of the village, it's a open gate, well can I call it a gate? It is just an opening in the fence that I think goes around the village. I really was kept like a bird in a cage here. With a look back over the wood huts and straw roofs. Death would be better then being stuck here and forced to have mates i don't want. Goodbye my prison.
Once out of the village I walk down the the lake. The sound of the crickets, the water softly moving against the shore, the wind rustling the leaves and grass. I close my eyes and take in the sounds. Its so calming and soothing. A sudden splash startles the calm and I open my eyes. Comming out of the water is a huge snake. I'm gonna die. I closed my eyes. Accepting death would be better then being stuck in the cage. I'm quickly wrapped in his body, it coiling around me and as I prepare to me eaten. A tickle on my cheek and I open my eyes in surprise. I look at the snake and am met with golden eyes. Could.. could it be? In the blink of an eye, turns to half man and I can't believe it. It's him. He looks shocked and happy to see me.
"Apologies, but I couldn't get back in the village. They gaurd you to well, how is it you left?" He asks
"They were asleep" I say "I hate it there" I confess. It been a feeling iv never been able to say out loud and it felt good. Feeling a strange comfort about him and crying into his chest. His arms wrap around me.
"As long as your with me, you will never be stuck to a cage" he says. I smile at his words and the lack of sleep starts to catch up to me. "You should be sleeping" he says and I can hear his concern. He lifts me so I'm carried bridal style in his arms, I rest my head onto him.
"I couldn't sleep cause I was worried about you" I mumble into his chest. I have no idea if he heard me or if what I said was audible but tiredness quickly was taking me.
"You sweet girl" He says softly. "My home is quite a ways from here, I'll find a safe place for us to sleep for tonight..."
Sleep took hold and I came to a sweet dream of being in a comfortable place with him as my mate.
