Winter

This made it pretty clear that we had entered a movie because there was no way this could happen in real life, there was just no way. Niall must’ve thought the same thing because he actually burst out in laughter.

“You’re kidding me right?”

“I’m not actually, I know this must sound unbelievable.”

“Unbelievable? It sounds like a bad line from a movie, it’s not possible, it just can’t be possible.” I was in full denial but she stood there looking at us as if we were the crazy ones.
“I’m not joking, I’m dead serious.”

“Al right say we believe you, is there something you can do?” I asked her and she finally smiled at us. “There is but we need to get to my house.” I looked at Niall whom was still chuckling to himself. “Niall focus please, should we go with her or not?”

“Let’s go with her, I mean what else can happen?” He had a point there and we followed her. I wasn’t surprised to see that her house was borders to a small forest, it was looking beautiful, she had wind chimes hanging everywhere, this would drive me nuts but it seemed to calm her down. She didn’t stop at the main house but kept walking to a small shed not far from the forest.

“Come in quickly.” She ushered us in and we were standing there with our mouths wide open, taking all it in. There were potions, herbs and books everywhere and it was freaking me out and again I reminded myself to never go exploring haunted castles ever again.

“So what now?” I asked her as Niall was looking around. “Don’t touch that.” She suddenly said to Niall who was reaching for some sort of root. “I’m sorry.” He mumbled as he took his place next to me. “I can create a potion that will unlink you with my brother and Lady Blackwood for five minutes and in those five minutes there will be a portal at the same spot you travelled back here. This made me moan in despair because that place was at least three days away from here and if I paid enough attention to witch movies and tv shows these potions only worked with a full moon, which would be soon.

“this potion will only work.”

“At a full moon, right?” I interrupted her and she was surprised to see I knew this little detail.

“Yes indeed, how did you know this?”

“We have movies and tv-shows with witches.” I explained but I saw that she didn’t know what I was talking about. “It’s something from our time, don’t worry about it.” I told her and she nodded as she walked to one of her book shelves. “I need at least a day to conjure this potion, so please feel free to explore the village and make yourself at home in my house.” I didn’t want to leave her, just in case something would go wrong but Niall wasn’t thinking the same thing, as he pulled me with him to the main house.

The moment we were inside he pushed me against the wall and kissed me and normally I would definitely respond but I was too busy with the opportunity to get back home. I pushed him off gently and this surprised him “What’s wrong”?”

“What’s wrong? You’re kidding me right, we can’t do this right now, not when we finally have a change to get back home.” I walk away from him and I was surprised that he stayed quiet. “I’m sorry okay but I’m just not in the mood, I really want to go home and the fact that we could kill two people to get home, freaks me out.”

“I know it does but Catherine is doing everything she can to help us.”

“I know but that doesn’t mean it will go smoothly. I mean there must be a catch to this all.”

“Why do you think that?”

“If there wasn’t a catch why didn’t James help us?” That made him think because let’s face it magic always comes with a price, so there must be something that’s not adding up.

“You’re right but there is nothing we could do, we don’t know anything about magic and to be honest it still sounds utterly ridiculous to me.” He shrugged and usually I loved his non worry policy but today was not that day. I wished he would be a bit more serious about this instead of laughing it off but on the other hand he was right, there was nothing we could do so I made my way back to him and kissed him gently on the lips, he didn’t waste any time and kissed me back hungrily.

“This doesn’t mean I’m not worrying.” I mumbled against his lips and I felt him nod slightly as he lifted me. I put my legs around his torso and I felt his arousal through his pants, it was pressing against my core and it only turned me on. I moaned into his mouth which made him jerk against me, he turned us around so that I was against the wall, this way he could use one hand to undo the laces of my pants, I helped him and the moment he was free, he pulled down my pants as much as he could and he didn’t waste any time and slipped in me, which made mu mumble his name. I had my face buried into the crook of his neck and moaned softly as he pushed in and out. It was the hottest thing I’d ever done in my entire life and it definitely made me forget my surroundings the moment he picked up the pace. He was whispering sweet words to me and I felt the tension build, I could tell he was on the verge as he was begging me to come and when I finally did, I felt relaxed and peaceful at the same time. Niall didn’t pull out immediately but lingered against me, breathing heavily, he always did this, as if he was afraid I would disappear if he would let me go.

After we had cleaned ourselves up, we went exploring and I couldn’t help but to hate everything about this damn village. I was done with the dirty roads, the disgusting smell of rotting flesh and what not. “Can’t we just go back?” I asked absentmindedly when Niall suddenly clammed his hand over my mouth and pulled me back slightly. “What the?” I mumbled against his hand.

“Look” he stretched out his finger and there was James with his lady. They were walking around as if there was nothing wrong, she was actually laughing at the things he was saying and this enraged me because her husband died because of her and she didn’t even care and my hatred against James only grew with every second that he was smiling and even kissing her.

“I want to kill that bastard for what he did to us.” I turned around to stare at Niall in shock because I had never heard him talk like that ever. “You do?” I asked and he nodded and as I looked into his eyes I knew he was being serious, this was nothing for the carefree person he normally was and it proved to me that he missed our home more than he had led on, probably just to keep me calm. I turned around fully and put my hands on his face, I made him look at me and the moment we had eye contact I smiled. “Hey, it will be all right, we will get back even if it means that we have to kill them.” I promised him even though it was a lie because I wasn’t so sure that we would get back, as I still wasn’t completely convinced that there was such a thing as magic.

Niall smiled at me but it didn’t reach his eyes, which scared me to be honest. I know love, let’s get out of here before they see us okay?” he traced my lips gently as I nodded. “Let’s go.” I grabbed his hand and started to pull him with me but was stopped when I noticed that Niall hadn’t moved. I turned to see what was wrong, when my eyes fell on James, he was staring right at us with a sinister smile on his mouth. He walked towards us and stopped when he was just a few inches away from me. He even had the guts to touch my face.

“We meet again.”
