Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27303410-20180203025743/@comment-34263048-20180203062528

I looked at the lizardman, Nareen, who defeated me almost a year ago in a little fencing match we once had. I havnt seen her in good 7 months since I moved here to get rid of her. Or well, I had a job offer from here too, and it payed only slightly better than the job I used to have. Now the issue is that while I dont want any harm to come her way, even thuogh she is a pain in my neck, this area is under watchful eye of the order, and while I know the general opinion around here is rather indifferent towards mamono, they are also something that you never see here. Therefore if she is here, she is definitely noticed, and I dont know is anyone around me affiliated with order, so order forces might be allready called. Then again she knows that too, and still risked herself to follow me, but now she isnt endagering just herself, she's endangering both of us.

I put my hand around her back and pull her in, cause just her precence here is an attention grabber. -"I finally got you" she declares as I'm closing the door, and grabs me in to her embrace. -"I'm still anwsering no, but by followin me here, you risked your life, and now you are risking both of our lives." I anwser as I struggle to get out of her hug. -"Huh, how?" she asks slightly startled -"While order isnt in control over here, it has rather strong precence here. Didnt you know?" -"I knew there would be some, but..." -"Some? That is rather strong understatement. We need to get you out of here." I say when I'm marching towards my garage door. -"But... Why did you pull me in if you wouldnt want me?" -"I might not want you, but I still dont want that they would catch you. Especially if they know that you are somehow connected to me." I said when I stormed in to my garage, and started throwing some necessary items at the back of my van. -"Is it really that bad? I could protect you, you know?" she said when she came to the garage door. -"Against swords, yes, against bullets, dont think so." I say when I open the side door of the van. -"Now get in there and lay low, until we get out of the city" She wasnt really happy to receive orders, but she was also rather intimidated so she jumped in withuot making a scene.

I jumped on the drivers seat, started the van, pressed the remote to open the garage door, and rolled out. I had barely made it to the street, when I saw a blaked out SUV turning in to my street and it was coming rather fast, and as I was turning off from my street, I saw how it was stopped in front of my house. I really didnt expect them that fast. They most likely know me, and know where I came to the town, and sure enough the freeway which barely ever had too much draffic jammed up 20 minutes later, It could be just a crash, but it could also be a roadblock, and I'm not taking any chances. Therefore I get off the freeway, and head to one of the old and nearly abandoned roads. Thankfully I'm an outdoors kind of guy, so I have explred around the city quite well. That's why I have 4x4 "go anywhere" van. As long as I can make it to one offroad park near the city, I can go trough it, and then follow electrical lines, trough the forrest no nearby town. I look behind me, and see how she is sitting on the floor, There would be seats but due to her tail it's hard for her to sit on them. On the positive side she is so low there that nobody can see her. -"Why you keep following me, as I have clearly stated that I'm not interested?" I ask -"You are the only one who has even come close to defeatedig me. Nobody has ever come even close to that. I fell in love with you during our match." -"I was just lucky, I can barely use that sword," -"No. Your fighting style is very unorthodox, but it's also very effective. early in out match I had very hard time on keeping up with you. Every time I expected that you would dodge, you parried and charged, Every time I expected you to parry, you dodged. And that got me so out of balance, that I nearly lost faster than I have ever won anyone."

Just before I see the offroad park enterance there is a checkpoint. Thankfully no other cars. Just a blacked out sedan and SUV. -"Hold on, this might get rough, Just lay low, and hold on to anything you can for now." I say to her as we approach it. I start slowing down, as the couple men are giving me sign's to do so, but just as I'm raching the SUV, I floor the throttle, and push the SUV off the road, and then I rush to the enterance of the offroad park, I hear couple gunshots, and one bullet shatters the driverside mirror, couple others end up hitting at the back of the van, thankfully stopping on tools and what ever I have back there. Then I hear how she yelps suddenly, and I instgantly ask is she allright. -"Just a scratch keep going." I race trough the parkinglot of the offroad park and ram trough the gates which lead to the trails, and from the still remaining mirror I can see how the sedan in giving chase, But while it might be faster trough the parking lot I will get in to woods, and on rough terrain welll before it will catch me, and when we get on to trails, I will have the advantage. And sure enough after couple minutes on the trail they get beached while I can drive away.

Later I inspect her "scratch" and it's definitely only a scratch, only couple scales shattered, or torn off, and almost no bleeding at all. we were quite lucky afterall. We get off from the maintenace road near the small town, I refuel the van, buy some large water bottles, and some food, and then we continue on old nearly unusable road, All I want now is to reach the state line as fast as possible, as there we will be safe. althuogh while state line might be only half a day away, the nearest sign of civilication is 3 days away when we use that path.

On next evening we are safely across the state line. We set up a camp, get somethig to eat, and then it's time for me to rest, I have been driving nearly 20 hours by now. As we are laying on the airmatress which I had in the van, she snuggles up close to me, for now I let it be. Afterall since I started helping her, we are in this together.

During next day we just head to the nearest town, we dont talk much. She knows that she caused me a lot of trouble, and I'm just thinking how I would get my life back. Next evening we set up a camp, she goes around looking at the scenery, Afterall, while this path is nearly undrivable it's also very scenic route. While she is away, I suddenly start hearing low growling, and as I look around I see a cougar ready to attack me. They are common on this region, I shuold have hadsomething to fend it off, but right now everything I have is in my van. I start shouting, throwing rocks at the cougar, hoping to scare it away, but to no avail, I just pissed it off, and it started to charge me. As I'm desperately dodging it, I see something silver and green from the corner of my eye, Then I hear how the cougar let's out a huge growl, and very soon I see how the cougar is impaled on Nareen'as sword. -"I guess I owe you my life now." As I'm getting up -"It might be, would it be enough for you to accept me?" -"No, but it helped me to make up my mind. How's your leg?" -"it's fine, why?" I walk to the back of my van, and pick up my sword. -"Tomorrow morning when we have rested, We will have a rematch. If you defeat me again, I accept you as my wife, If I win, you leave me alone. How does that sound?" I see her eyes light up. -"I'd call that a deal."

After we woke up, we had light brekfast, and started sparring. That sparring ended up lasting nearly 7 hours, and then we both were too exhausted to continue. We took a small dip in the nearby lake, the water was cold, but at least it washed away the sweat we had worked up. I had to admit that she was quite a looker with her red hair, and green eyes, and couple frecles on her cheecks, Her body was worthy of a sculpture, just enough fat that it hid most of her muscles, but not too much to hide them completely, Small but firm, and well formed breats, and round butt. After couple hours of swimming and resting, we started to sparring again. How ever she clearly had a cunning plan, as now she was fighting full nude, which was distracting to say the least. Distracting enough that every now and then she got so many small scrapes that my clothes started to fall off from me. How ever, I wasnt going to give up, not now, Too much at stake here. Suddenly she charged me, and I had to take a step back, only to notice that I couldn't take that step back, as my van was on the way. She had her blade on my throat, and she was pinning me againt the van. -"Now then, Shall we put your sword in my sheath?" She aked. -"I guess we can do so. You defeated me and I can only admit my loss, and marry you. And during next night we made sure that my sword will fit in hear seeathe multiple times.
