Fawn winter festival

Growling, Alana lifts her head. "Ah, what the hell? " she hisses and rubs her heavy head. She blinks at the wooden ceiling. "What?" A soft silk sheet covers her naked body. "Where the hell is she? And how did she get here?" The warm fire crackles in the fireplace and illuminates the wooden attic room. The wooden walls are decorated with cheerful paintings, and the floor is covered with a burgundy carpet. The comfortable bed creaks when she sits up. Her necklace lays safe on the little stand next to her comfy bed. "What happened?" she mumbles. "Hate happened" replies a soft voice. Surprised, she looks at the young man resting against the door frame. She looked fascinated at his strong goat legs covered in dark brown hair. Before you ask: I will tell you; I am a fawn", the boy chuckles and walks to the bedside table. "I wasn't going to ask," she says softly and looks at the short brown hairs that crawl up his hips. His short tail moves rhythmically with every step he takes. Carefully, he places the tray down and takes out the clay kettle. "Now, don't be afraid, I'm not at his side. " Concentrated, he pours steaming tea into a white cup and hands it to Alana. "Cole" is my name, and what's yours?" "Al.. Alana" she said, and looked at his bare chest. He smiles. His bright sky-colored eyes observed her. His young face was adorned by a little dark beard. On his head, between his shoulder-length white curly hair, grow two curly light brown horns. " Neither am I," she says. " Obvious" laughs Cale. He exchanged her teacup for a sandwich." My comrades heard you screaming, so we rushed over to you. That was just before Hate wanted to bite you all over." "Thanks" she replies, and takes a bite of the bun. "Oh my god, this is delicious" she stammers. Cole laughs and rubs his wavy white hair. "Glad you like it." He waits patiently for her to finish eating. "Now your dress was all torn, so I got another one for you." She looks curious at the mistletoe that is wrapped around his antlers,, and the thin horns. "Oh yeah". He laughs and scratches his tanned face. "You're just in time for the winter festival," he laughs. Alana smiled with satisfaction. That sounds nice! "You'll find me downstairs as soon as you're dressed." He smiles and walks away. "Thanks," Alana says, looking at the steaming cup of tea. A spicy aroma plays with her nose. Who would have ever thought she would be rescued by a fawn? She always thought fawns were shy creatures. Jaspar said they were antisocial and strange. Maybe he was wrong. Why else would they save her? But how did they shake off Hate? And who bumped her when she walked out of the cave? Was that Hate? But were his eyes burned? And still? Maybe she could catch her breath here? Let's first eat, drink, and dress, she orders herself, deep in thought.

"Ah" Katinka grumbles when Heinrich pushes her down. Heinrich looks at her uninterested and turns around again. "A little break" sighs Godfrey. Godfrey puts Wolfgang down and looks at the thick trees. "What are you thinking of Rogue?" he asks. Rogue grins and looks at the forest. "I think I'm going to teach Thedon how to hunt" he laughs. "Really," Thedon asks enthusiastically. Heinrich laughs and ties Katinka to Wolfgang. "What?" Wolfgang asks. "You can't hunt, so you're the nanny" he chuckles and walks into the woods behind his brothers. "I'm not a fucking babysitter," Wolfgang replies angrily. Laughing, his brothers disappeared into the woods. "I'm sorry" Katinka sighs. Wolfgang grunts inaudibly. "How is your leg?" "Okay," he replies, irritated. "Sorry", Katinka replies softly and stares at the blue sky. Where would Alana be now, she thought angrily. Alana, her little sister. At least that's what she'd always said. Her sister, was always there for her. When Katinka cried, Alana was always the one to comfort her. The days feel like years without her. She needs Alana so much right now. Her broken heart misses her... Would Alana miss her so much too? She wanted so badly to hear Alana's voice. She always knew what to say. Tears sparked in Katinka's eyes. Everything she does reminds her of Alana. Her crazy and sometimes grumbling comments. She wanted everything to be normal again. Like it was in the beginning. She would do everything so differently. But would it make any difference? Would Alana forgive her in the end? Would they have stayed together? Katinka lets out a deep sigh. Frowning, Wolfgang turns his gaze to Katinka. Her head seems to be lost somewhere far away, but her eyes burn on him. "What?" he finally asks. Katinka sniffs and shakes her head. "Nothing," she stammers softly. Wolfgang sighs and looks at the young woman. What the hell is this? Why does he want to touch her so badly? Why does he feel so... so strange? Wolfgang turns silently. Katinka stared nervously into his deep eyes. He follows a red curl that hangs next to her face and gently rubs her cheek. "Wolfgang, what are you doing," Katinka protests and pushes the young thief back. She stared intently into his deep blue eyes. What's wrong with him? What's wrong with her? Why can't she take her eyes off him? Why does she want him to continue? Wolfgang stared silently at Katinka's tight face. Cautiously, he leans forward and kisses her pink lips. Katinka slowly closes her eyes and rests her hand on his strong shoulder. Why doesn't she push him away? Why is her heart beating like that? Alana would never forgive her, she thinks disappointed. And yet? This feels different. So real... She's never felt this way. Not even when Vania kissed her, it felt so real. When Wolfgang places his muscular body on top of her, she takes a deep breath. He kisses her slowly as she runs her hands through his locks. "Wolfgang" she whispers as he gently penetrates her. "Shh" calms Wolfgang and kisses her lips lovingly. Afraid to warn his brothers, she bites into his leather vest. Wolfgang sniffs amusingly.

Alana carefully walks downstairs and looks at Cole. The soft white dress fits her slim body perfectly. The white corset top is finished with fine silver threads and shoulder straps. The silver forms neatly around her breasts. On the white satin skirt is a graceful phoenix decorated with silver thread. The silver belt around her hips seems to be made by Elven, finished with a blue gemstone. The matching white cape is held under her chin by a silver elf brooch.

"Beautiful" he cheers and claps his hands. Her necklace is hidden under the white U-shaped collar. Alana blushes at his enthusiasm. "How are you feeling?" he asks. "Fair" Alana answers honestly. "Good enough to see the village. I mean you cannot stay here if you didn't observe the beauty of Rùatan". Alana laughs. "I would love to" she answers enthusiastically and hooks her arm into Cole's.

Cole grins and opens the front door. As he walks her down the stairs, she stares at the small cozy village decorated with mistletoe and winter roses. "We are getting everything ready for the winter festival," he explains, following her gaze to the stylishly finished houses. A duo of fawns look up and stare at her curiously. When she passes them, they nod kind. A female fawn smiles softly at her. Her breasts are covered in a wool crop vest. Without saying a word, she picks up the wooden basket again and walks away. The small square market is decorated with red ribbons and satin bows. Wooden benches surround the round marble fire pit. "Winter festival is beautiful," Cole says, looking at the wood piled up for the bonfire. "There's music and food." Alana looks at the wooden post behind the fire. Two leather bracelets adorn the sides of the thick pole. "What's that for?" she asks curiously." Every December we have this party. To honor the ice queen and snow goddess. We do this to celebrate winter and to make sure that the frost does not destroy our land, we need a sacrifice for this." Alana swallows. "What.. what are you sacrificing?" "A virgin," he whispers. "A virgin," Alana asks unbelievably. Cole nods. "Who.. who is the virgin?" "You" he replies. Alana screams when two hands grab her tight.

"Wolf", Katinka whispers softly, and scratches his hair. Wolfgang sighs in relief and hangs his head on her chest. With deep breaths, Katinka stared at the sky-blue sky. Why is he breathing so fast? She thinks worriedly and looks at Wolfgang. "Wolfgang"? Squeaking, he sits up and pulls his pants up. "Wolfgang, everything okay" she whispers. "Yes" he gasps. Katinka looks at him, concerned, and shakes her head. "Not at all," she protests. "It's okay," he squeaks and falls back down. "Wolf" shouts Godfrey loudly and rushes into the camp. Without hesitation, he tosses the dead rabbit away and straightens Wolfgang. "What have you done?" he asks angrily, and looks at Katinka. "Nothing" she protests in shock and looks at the boy struggling to breathe. "Did you make him run?" Heinrich shouts angrily and kneels with him. "Wolfgang look at me" orders Godfrey and opens the silver buckle on his chest. "I didn't do anything" Katinka protests again and continues: "he has asthma!" Rogue who pulled Katinka up, looks surprised at her. Godfrey looks at Katinka incomprehensibly. "How do you know that?" "I've always wanted to be a doctor," she stammers. "Women can't become doctors," Heinrich replies. "That's sexist", Katinka shouts and kneels next to Heinrich. "Wolfgang" she whispers and puts her hands on his jaws. "Look at me," she whispers, placing her left hand on his chest. "Take a deep breath," she commands softly, pressing her palm to his chest. "Come on, we'll do it together", she whispers and stares into his eyes. Godfried breathes a sigh of relief as soon as Wolfgang catches his breath. Katinka smiles when he breathes more deeply. "Good", she whispers and takes her hand from his chest. "So Asthma" murmurs Godfried. "Is there anything that can be done"? Katinka shook her head. "I'm sorry, this will last his whole life. Maybe there will come a time when they discover something", Katinka looks at Godfrey again. "Until then, never let him run again," Albrecht growls and grabs Katinka. "Wait a minute," says Heinrich, and straightens himself. "Wolfgang can't walk", he starts and walks to Katinka. "What have you done?" he asks with a smile. Katinka lets her gaze slide from Heinrich to Wolfgang. "Nothing," she says, and looks back at Heinrich. Heinrich laughs happily. "Oh really" he grins and looks at Rogue. It doesn't take long before Rogue understands his brother. Rogue chuckles. Wolfgang blows out slowly and looks at Heinrich. "Shut up," he grumbles. "Yes, he is himself again", murmurs Godfried, and stands up. Heinrich looks at Katinka with a smile. "I see a bite mark on his vest", he whispers teasingly. Wolfgang growls briefly and kicks Heinrich's ass. Heinrich chuckles and looks at Katinka again. Wolfgang closes his buckle and sighs. "What?" Katinka asks, staring fearlessly into Heinrich's eyes. "Nothing" grins Heinrich and turns around. "Okay", says Godfrey and helps Wolfgang up. Rogue places the bunnies in Heinrich's bag. Heinrich smiles at Wolfgang and closes the button on his trousers. "You forgot", he winks, and takes Katinka. Wolfgang grunts incomprehensibly and raises his injured leg. "Ready," asks Godfrey, concerned, and looks at Wolfgang. Wolfgang nods silently. "Of course, Wolfgang is ready", Heinrich whispers intimidatingly. Katinka rolled her eyes with a sigh. Heinrich looks amused and ties Katinka to her wrists again. "Seriously, why Wolfgang" he whispers teasingly and continues: "I'm much better". She growls irritated. Heinrich laughs and pushes the rope between Katinka's teeth." Done" he winks. Albrecht rolls his eyes and walks on in silence. Rogue chuckles and pokes Katinka.

Alana moans softly and bites the cloth between her teeth. Stupid fawns, she thinks angrily. Why did she trust them? With their foolish superstitions. She looks irritated at the dancing fawns. If she wasn't tied up, she'd probably quite like that. Cole smiles and walks over to Alana. Comfortable? Alana growls angrily. "Oh Hate," she thinks scared. Why is she thinking about Hate? He would smile and watch the fawns sacrifice her! Or maybe not. Where is that fat ass when you need him, she thinks angrily? "It's time" he whispers and turns around. "Tonight, we will celebrate! A week before Christmas as every year" !!The fawns cheer happily. "We offer this holy woman to the great goddess of winter ... the ice queen, that she will spare our land"!! The creatures laugh and cheer in amusement. Cole turns back to Alana and takes a silver dagger from the brown belt around his hips. "The most beautiful woman dies as first he mumbles and continues; "From the icy breath of snow until spring arrives." "The white dress of frost will save us from this severe bitter cold and let us not die of hunger." Alana closes her eyes as he lifts the knife. "May you take this soul and hold her warm body, so that we don't have to bear your wrath. This is our design and gift to you," he shouts, pointing the knife at Alana's throat.
