To Save Our World {Chapter 6}

6~ Inn ~61

“Where am I” Amaya whispered softly and Rowtag was instantly awake. “Your okay” he said and she laughed softly. “Yeah, I am” her voice was steadier now. “I’m so proud of you” he said and she knew her face was glowing at the praise. “I did it then” Amaya asked slowly, carefully. “Yep” Rowtag showed no hesitation in replying. 2

“Where are we then” she asked, slowly sitting up and looking around. “La, La, Land, no we’re in the Inn you demanded” he said which only reminded her more, that he hadn’t forgotten. “What” he asked, seeing her crunched up face. “Nothing” she whispered and started looking around. 3

It was a plain room, a single wood bed with white sheets. Surprisingly comfy pillows and a small fireplace. Much to the amusement of Rowtag, the Inn Keeper lit if for him and then left. Him and fire, loved each other. She glanced at the window, which had a small white curtain over it. She wondered if that would be a problem later but decided against asking. Rowtag stifled a yawn and then patted her head once. 4

“Just don’t kick me and I’ll let you sleep on the bed” he said laying down and pulling the covers up to his chin. “Me, you kick all the time” she said and he only dismissed her with the switch of his hand. “Fine, I’ll help you” she said and shoved him off the bed. 5

He landed with a loud thump and then his angry face appeared. Amaya just smiled innocently at the man and laid back down on the bed. She closed her eyes and in that second, she too was on the floor. She hit her back against the edge of the bed and let out a soft cry in pain. Instead of begin innocent, Rowtag was laughing his head off, just about nearly falling off the bed himself. He broke out in more laughter when her head appeared and her hair was a mess. 6

“Lovely” he said in between trying to get air to his lungs. “It’s not funny” Amaya said in a whiny voice. “Oh, yeah it is” Rowtag said, tears falling from his eyes. “Stop it” she said her anger rising. “One minute you were on the bed, next you were gone” he said laughing again and this time he did fall off the bed. “You idiot” she mumbled softly as he continued to laugh hard. “So funny” he was cooling down his laughter and she giggled a bit, when his head appeared just above the bed. “So funny” he whispered and she shook her head. 7

“I’m tired, stop fooling around” Amaya said pulling herself back up on the bed. “I know” Rowtag was much serious now, though still grinning. “I’ll watch over you, for a while” he said softly, going to sit by the fire. “Goodnight, Rowtag” she whispered softly, watching his eyes dance in the flames. “Goodnight, Amaya” he whispered back and then turned his full attention back to the flames. 8

She turned over and watched the wall. It was always like this, laughing at her and after a while it got incredibly annoying. That was the cause for most of their fights and the fact he had a hard time excepting, she owned him. He preferred to be the boss of all situations and had the upper hand on their fights, since she need him for protection. He was arrogant and sly, in everything he did.9

When he wasn’t that is when she knew they could make it another mile, without killing each other. Not literally but still, she hated him to much sometimes and she often got annoyed for putting up with it. 10

She stifled a yawn and slowly let the exhaustion of yet another night with those Demon’s, take over her.
