Chapter 7 - Talks by the fire VI

As we sit at the fire waiting for the fish to cook I look at her she looks a little confused at me

Zul:"I seen you sitting with the fox family you helped the mother fox, how did you manage to get her to trust you and what was that plant you picked up to use on the fabric strips?" I ask her she looks shocked and blushes as she looks at me she is so cute when she does that it drives me crazy I have to ignore the thoughts that run wild through my mind about her innocents how sweet she would taste, what it would be like to kiss every inch of her skin, how soft her lips would be.

Whitney's pov: i look at him and blush as I realize he seen everything I did I shrug my shoulders a little and use my hand to push my hair behind my ears as I look over at him "My father, he worked with animals all the time and would often let me tag along with him when he got told that someone needed him to help or to come look over their sick farm animal, dogs, or cats, He knew a lot about which plants would help cuts, and wounds, which plants would help sickness and which to avoid at all costs he taught me everything he knew about the plants and herbs but these plants and herbs only work on animals they make humans sick and often die if they eat them or use them in anyway really, as for how I managed to get the fox to trust me I don't really know… I've just always been able to comfort animals and they usually end up trusting me, my father used to say it was because they knew I didn't want to hurt them" I look at the fire the sun is basically gone by the time the fish is cooked we both sit quietly eating the fire crackling every now and then I looked over at him as he was eating.

"Are all Orcs like you Zul?" He stops and looks at me tilting his head a little "what do you mean like me?" He says I shrug a little "W..well I mean you are very nice and gentle you helped me when I was going to die and even now you are taking me to the orc village to help my wounds and get them looked at I have never heard of an orc being nice to humans before I was always told that they are blood thirsty monsters" I stop looking rather ashamed of myself for believing those rumors without even thinking that they could be wrong, he looks sad having finished his food he leans back "No we are not all blood thirsty monsters, but they are not all like me either.. some of my kind are as humans think monsters, they kill and destroy towns or villages or slaughter humans or farm animals mostly its animals, others are just mean towards humans they don't like them but wouldn't go out and kill them unless threatened by them, most don't trust humans but will just avoid them and then there are some of us that will be nice to those who aren't a threat to us, I have not been nice to a human until now you are the only one that's every gotten close to myself" as he says that I smile at him "well most humans are not that bad either but some are I'm glad you did help me, most humans are just scared of how your species look and generally that you are all taller and more muscular then any human man or woman" I blush hoping the dark of the night will hide it "will orcs at the village be okay with me being around?" I ask him he nods "yes most of the orcs living there are nice towards just about everyone there are a few who aren't but they won't bother you if you stay next to me" he says and decides to lay down I scoot closer to the fire trying to stay warm the night air is chilly against my skin specially since half of the skirt of my dress is gone, all of a sudden two muscular arms grab me gently and pull me into a chest I look up and see Zul laying on his side holding me against his chest "I know you are cold.. we don't get cold very easily" his voice is so deep and rough it makes my body shiver against his chest looking up I realize he is really about 2 feet taller then myself but he is right his body is warm it's radiating warmth he has one arm around my waist and the other on my exposed thigh where my bandages are my heart is pounding in my chest I can hear his heart beating and every breathe he takes it eventually allows me to calm down and fall asleep. In the morning I wake up facing the burnt out campfire I go to sit up but can't I realize his arms are still wrapped around me I then notice his one hand is on my breasts holding it I bite my lip to not wake him up I hear him softly groan in my ear, he's still sleeping I sigh and let him sleep I lay there looking around when I see momma fox and her babies come towards me, momma fox keeps some distance probably due to smelling another scent that isn't mine her babies run over and start letting me pet and play with them I chuckle and feel Zuls body tense his hand quickly moves to grab a knife from his belt "NO!" I yell and move to grab his arm he stops and looks at me then over his eyes relax as he realizes it's the fox family he drops the knife as I realize I am now straddling him holding his arm. He looks up at me and gives a small smirk "sorry I thought it was something dangerous I won't hurt them" he says as he moves his hands to my waist, butterflies shoot through my body making me tingle all over I blush and quickly move "G..good I guess they came to visit they probably are looking for food" he sits up then stands the pups run back to their mother startled by him he goes and picks up the rabbit he had gotten last night he looks at me "should I just drop it for them?" He asks I chuckle "yes but come here and sit down they are not used to things as big as yourself" he nods and comes and sits beside me he had already cut all of the fur off and just left the meat, " come on momma it's okay he won't hurt you he's one of the good ones" I say patting the ground momma fox comes walking over she's still cautious but she goes up to him and gently takes the rabbit he lets her and in return she rubs her head against his hand I watch as he smiles and looks at me looking excited "she rubbed against my hand" I nod "yes she did her leg looks better today I'm sure she will be okay" he nods the fox family wanders off back to their den he stands and gets ready to head out again.
