Demons and Heroes

"No, it is mine. I chose to kiss you."

 

She sighed..
"Okay you win," she said then hugged him..

 

He pushed her back and sneezed into his arm.

 

Gharanth walked into the area where Natalie and Cole were lying. He was gathering the herbs he needed for the meal he was cooking for Twilight and for this he preferred fresh herbs. He looked at them in surprise.

"May I enquire as to what is happening here and whether you need help?"

 

"Don't get too close to us." he said, "We're sick."

 

"And I can heal. I am immune to illness now and I really can heal you. Please trust me, I have the nature orb and all medicines originate in nature. Let me help you."

He removed a beaker from his bag, filled it with water and added a sap that was dripping from his finger.

"Tastes terrible but it will cure you."

 

"Thank you." he said, taking the beaker. "I didn't know you had that orb."

 

"Sorry that I got you sick Cole," Natalie said backing up then walking out of the cave..

 

"Wait!" he said, chasing after her. "Gharanth made a cure!"

 

"Wait Natalie. I have the cure, no dammit I am the cure. I have the nature orb so I can make medicines. Please believe me."

He turned to Cole.

"I have four orbs now. I just hope they are safe."

 

Natalie stopped all of a sudden without warning.. She turned around to face Cole..

 

He stopped and almost crashed into her. "Here." he said, handing her the beaker.

 

"What is this?" she asked looking at the substance in the beaker.

 

"The cure." he said.

 

She took a part of the medicine, and felt sicker becuase of the taste, but it was working its magic and was healing her...
"Ugh.. this stuff tastes terrible," she said reaching him back the beaker

 

He took the rest of it and said "Yeah, but it's working."

 

"Hey, give a demon a break! I haven't had the orb long so I work on the cure not the flavour."

 

"Nah, medicine's supposed to taste bad."

 

Natalie felt better.. She walked over and hugged Cole again..
"Can I give you a hug now without getting you sick?" she asked

 

"I guess that's my signal to go." Gharanth backed away and left the two alone. He was wise enough to know when he wasn't needed or wanted. He disappeared back into the forest.
