Chapter 18 by wixxy wixxy

You are avenged. What happens now?

Recovery.

The hunter holds you for a while as the shock of your experience subsides. He naturally assumes that this was your deflowering, and that it was not consensual. You are not sure about that second point yourself, but hesitate to disabuse him of his notion on the first. He has wrapped you once more in the blanket, before stripping the dead man of his clothes and belongings and carrying the pale body outside. Upon returning, he starts a small fire to tide you both over until dawn. He now sits a little way from you, slowly chewing some cold roasted venison, watching you carefully - you assume for signs of hysteria or anxiety. You manage a small smile at him, and you can see some of the dark fear clearing from his face.

"I am sorry for what has befallen you. I... had my fears about what that man was capable of. I hoped you would have been able to alert me before anything... irreversible happened." He sighs and stokes the fire, words half forming on his lips before he gives up on them. He remains silent for some time, unable to get the words out.

If you are to win his trust - and perhaps his assistance in your quest - this may be the time to come clean about the true events surrounding your escape from the monastery. On the other hand, knowing that the pure young woman across from him has actually been a daemon's slut all along may turn him against you. You've spent scant few hours with this man, and must decide what to tell him despite having no idea how he is likely to react to the truth.

Come clean or not?
