"So how long have you known that beautiful girl Geralt?" Nivellen asked.

"Almost three months," he answered as Jaskier sighed.

"Wow you move fast Geralt, I thought you didn't need anyone and you are with a friend and a woman," he chuckled.

"Stella can fight like a man, she also know how to cut off a man's balls if you mess with her. I would tread lightly around her," Geralt informed.

"Did she do that to you?" He asked a little afraid.

"No, she has done that to several men though," he informed.

"Where is Stella? She doesn't take this long to get ready," Jaskier said as he was going to get up and check on her.

"I told her to take her time, she will be done when she is ready. She might have even gotten lost," Geralt said knowing her she might be looking for what ever was watching her.

"Lost, me? I never get lost," she informed as nivellen stood up seeing how beautiful she she looked.

Geralt was now jealous that he had to go search for a beast that might be gone and she was here with nivellen. But he trusted her fully and she was the type to kill someone for touching her in a way she didn't like. He couldn't wait to get get back to her already even though he wasn't even gone yet. After dinner and some talking mostly Jaskier asking questions. Stella distracted Nivellen and Geralt went back to the town below. He drank his potion making his eyes turn black as night and he searched the whole place to find nothing but two other dead bodies. There wasn't any footprints at all and it must have been due to the heavy snow that came in when they were coming here.

He should know what exactly did this but he couldn't find anything at all. It was gone and he was thankful for that but that meant it could be watching Stella. Did she know something without actually knowing it? Stella had this gut feeling that rivaled his. Her father taught her well and him as well but she seemed better then him. Not that he was complaining but something was just off about it and she couldn't figure out what exactly.

He went back to the house and went to the room that Stella was staying in. She was sleeping peaceful but he was going to disturb her. He took off his shirt and closed the door behind him. He dropped his shirt on the ground and smiled as he got on top of her. The fire place was was roaring and she looked so beautiful sleeping. He kissed her softly on the cheek, holding himself back. She woke up and smiled at him seeing his black eyes. She touched his face and he began to shake as his body was wanting her with every inch of of his being.

"Find anything?" She asked.

"Nothing not even foot prints," he informed.

"So it can fly," she informed.

"Are we really going to discuss the monster or how I'm going to bed you tonight?" He asked as she smiled lovingly at him.

"Even when your like this I love you," she smiled as she touched his face even though it was pale and his eyes weren't yellow right now.

"I don't see how," he informed.

"Because you were never a monster to Geralt, you were a friend when I needed a friend you, you gave me space when I needed it and you waited for me when you didn't have to. Also you don't see me as a trinket you see me as a warrior and as your equal. Not a lot of men would do that for someone like me," she said as she took let his hair down.

"Because you are my equal, I bet you could even find the monster before me," he said as she touched his scars.

"I might be able to but I know you wouldn't be on top of me if you wanted to fight the monster," she smirked.

"Maybe there is another monster I want to fight first," he stated.

"Now that sounds like a great idea," she smiled as she kissed him.

"So how did you become a beast?" Jaskier asked.

"Long story short I was high on mushrooms and I vandalized a temple. The woman that cursed me was guarding it when it happened. Now I'm going stay like this for ever alone except for that cat maybe. It seems to be the only thing not afraid of me. Geralt is very lucky to have a woman like Stella," he informed.

"Those two would do anything for each other. A witch made both me and Stella go to Bald Mountain. The witch did something to Geralt and he was the one that almost killed her. But thanks to her and her father they got there in time before we both died," he informed.

"Speaking of Geralt where is he? I haven't seen him since after dinner Stella was telling me the adventures they had and I didn't see him anywhere," he explained.

"As of when Stella went to bed I don't think she is sleeping," Jaskier muttered.

Geralt finnaly turned back to normal as he laid next to Stella. They both were wearing there old cloths just incase the monster attacked. Geralt was watching Stella sleep and he wished she was still awake so they could talk more. He loved hearing her talk and laugh.

The creature flew...

"Stella wake up I know what has been watching you," he said as she quickly shot up.

"What is it?" She asked as he quickly got up and grabbed a black bottle and drank it quickly.

"It's a Bruxa, it might be feasting on nivellen because of his curse. He might not even know it," he said as he quickly left the room.

"Geralt wait your sword!" She said as she grabbed both swords and tossed him.

Stella woke up Jaskier while Geralt went to find Nivellen. He heard noises from his room and the Bruxa stopped feasting on him for a moment. Geralt walked in quickly and she screamed at him. He tried fighting the sheer force of her scream but she wouldn't stop screaming.

"Geralt?!" Stella yelled as she quickly put up her shield right infront of him so he would get unpined from the wall.

"A female witcher, you should not exist," she informed as Stella smirked.

"I'm a witch bitch," she informed as they both went after her.

She headed outside while Jaskier stayed inside to try to help nivellen. She was a lot stronger then other Bruxa they fought in the past and she smiled as she sent Stella flying into a grave and making a large head stone fall on her causing her to be stuck.

"You're female witcher cares for you dearly. I don't wish to harm her but I will if you don't leave us alone!" She hissed.

"You killed an entire village! You think you deserve to live?" He asked as she screamed at him and Jaskier came outside. She quickly turned into a bat and went after Jaskier.

"Jaskier get back inside!" Stella screamed as she was going after him Jaskier quickly went back inside and Geralt cut her arm as she quickly turned around to get him.

She knocked him into the ground and Stella tried freeing herself with no peval.

"Come on!" She yelled as her face turned pale and black veins started to appear around her eyes.

She managed she get the head stone off of her and she picked a smaller one up and threw it at her making her back off of Geralt.

"I go low you go high?" She asked as she disappeared and Geralt nodded.

They waited for her to come back and nivellen came rushing out in a panic.

"Geralt! Please don't kill her, I love her just like how you love Stella!" He yelled.

"Stella isn't a monster that kills people for fun!" Geralt yelled as the Bruxa came back as she stabbed her in the chest and Geralt cut off her head.

"You will kill her to, is isn't so diffrent from me," the Bruxa said to Geralt before she started burning.

"No!" Nivellen yelled as he started crying, he turned back to his human form and Stella put her sword down and put snow on her eyes as they burned.

"Stella?" Geralt asked as her eyes turned back to normal.

"Yeah?" She asked as she took a deep breath and looked at him weakly.

"You okay?" He asked.

"My eyes felt like they were burning for a second. I must have gotten something in them," she said as nivellen went to the Bruxa burnt body.

"I loved her Geralt! I didn't care she was a monster, so was I. Please kill me I knew what she was doing and I over looked it! I found her in the woods and I let her feast on me because in that form I couldn't die! Please Geralt I knew what she was doing but I overlooked it," he said as Geralt helped Stella up.

"So that's how we broke his curse. We killed his true love?" Stella asked.

"Looks like it," Geralt informed.

"Geralt I raped the woman who gave me this curse," he nearly shouted and Stella started ignoring the pain she was in.

Pure furry ran threw her and he he held her back.

"Geralt let me go!" She growled as he held her back.

"Let him do it himself, he isn't worth it Stella," Geralt said.

"I will kill him!" She yelled.

"We are leaving," he growled.

"You son of a bitch I hope you live a long life so you remember what you did!" Stella yelled.

"He gave me this fucking dress," she muttered.

"I didn't she did, she really liked you. She said you were like her," he said as she pushed Geralt off of her.

"I'm not a monster! You, I don't rape or kill out of enjoyment, I kill to protect my family!" She screamed.

"Get on Agata, he isn't worth getting angry over. He is trying to get you to put him out of his misery," he said as she looked down.

She looked at him again and he saw a bit of black veins around her eyes.

"I must have gave you some of my potion by accident, we need to go," he said as she sighed.

"Fine, but I'm not a monster," she informed.

"I never said you were," he said softly.
