Secret Rendezvous

Part 3: Visits

Rune nervously trailed of from his companions. He was thinking of what that demon said to him yesterday. He still couldn't get it off his mind. He refused to believe it. Though doubts were being planted in his mind.

Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~

Rune wandered a little ways from their campsite and unconsciously registering where he was going. He was sure that his lover was around somewhere in hiding but then there was this other presence creeping around. It must've been what his lover was talking about. After about looking for a good half an hour. He began heading back. He saw that he wandered farther than intended.

He glanced back. He could feel that he was being followed. It didn't feel comfortable.

"You're not eating right. You're supposed to be eating human flesh," someone said from behind him. He jumped and turned to face the person. It was a woman that was about a head taller than him. "Seems like our master is rejecting your food. Though of course, he doesn't eat anything else except human flesh."

"Who are you, and what are you talking about?" Rune said a bit nervous feeling that he should run but his body didn't comply with his mind. She disappeared and reappeared behind him.

"No one you should know of yet. I'm just concerned because you haven't been eating well since you keep throwing it back out."

Rune jumped again and faced her to see her gone. He turned to go back but found her in front of him again.

"What's the hurry? I doubt that your friends and lover would really worry about you since they know you could take care of yourself."

Rune kept silent.

"I never expected that it would be you. You're more beautiful than any other woman I've seen. Our master values beauty. Such beauty, I can see what your lover treasures about you. But would he care for you if he found out?"

"Find out what?"

"That you're seeing someone else. That life growing inside of you is proof. It's amazing what magic can do." She said trailing a hand down from his face to his stomach. Rune shoved her hand away.

"You're lying, I haven't been seeing anyone else and there is no way that I'm pregnant, I'm a guy!" He said and walked past her to continue to the campsite.

"Hold on," she said grabbing his arm and pulling him towards her, "I'm not finished. After a few weeks you'll start to crave human flesh and blood. Don't forget what I said it's important if you value your life. And if you don't believe me why don't you go see a doctor."

End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is exactly what he's going to do. He's going to see a doctor and prove to the woman that he isn't pregnant because he's a guy. And that everything she said is just a joke.

When they reached the next town Rune told them that he needed to go somewhere. Rath volunteered to accompany him and they walked together to where he was going to go. He asked around for the clinic around and it led them to a small one that looked like all the houses. They went in to be greeted with an empty lobby.

"Rath wait here I'll just go see if the doctor is around," Rune said walking away before Rath could protest. He walked around to an office that has some sort of light different than that of sunlight. He knocked on the door. He heard a grunt that meant to come in. He opened the door and peaked his head in before stepping in fully.

"What do you want?" a man's voice drifted from behind the book he was reading.

"Um I was looking for a doctor and they told me that I would find one here. I'm sorry, I think I got the wrong place." Rune said about to step out.

"No you didn't. What is it that you want me to fix up?"

"Actually I just wanted you to clarify something for me."

"What would that be?"

"I need you to see if what my… friend said was true, that I'm pregnant."

"Oh? Don't you know?"

"I can't tell."

"Okay then do you have symptoms?"

"I just feel nauseous and have flashes of tiredness. Also I've had back pains and I'm being moody and some other things."

"There's proof. Go away I'm busy." The doctor said going back to reading the book.

"But I can't be pregnant. I'm a guy!" Rune said, almost shouting. The guy finally coming to his senses and took a look at the elf and saw that he indeed was a guy.

"Sorry my mistake." He soon started preparing something mixing some different colored water? Chemicals? Or something? Rune didn't know. As soon as the 'doctor' was finished he took Rune's hand and poked through the skin to get some blood making it drop in the solution, which turned into a dark purple color. The doctor didn't look surprised. He mused that it must be a spell. "No mistake. Go you're finished. It must've been some spell." The doctor said pushing the elf out of the office and handing him a vile that was filled with something that he didn't want to know. "You'll know when to take it," the doctor finished and slammed the door.

Rune stared in disbelief at the door. He shook his head. Maybe the doctor was delusional or something. Rune just walked back to Rath and they both walked back to the inn they were staying at. The night wasn't a safe place to travel. Rune knew that all of it was just joke. He hoped?

* * *

Directly after Rune and Rath left the doctor had a surprise visitor.

"What do you want?" he asked harshly, glaring at the woman.

"No need to be hostile towards me. I just came to visit you," the woman said.

"Visit me my ass. You're here for the elf aren't you, Lana?"

"No I'm not. Our master will be arriving in a few months. You did give him the potion didn't you?"

"Yeah now go."

"Okay grump." She left leaving the doctor annoyed.
