Chapter-VII.
One might ask, what happened after.
Nothing's happened for long minutes, it seemed aeons for me, neither of us wanted to go.
We both wanted something else, we couldn't do today. We just stood there motionless, aching for each other.
He put his head on mine and kept me captive.
We should go now, I said reluctantly.
No, don't brake the spell, he asked me and we kept standing there, I really don't know how long.
It could have been an hour or ten minutes, time is relative as Albert told us, I am sure time doesn't even exist. It didn't existed for us then. Nor time, nor space....
Breaking the spell, ey?
Sssss!
Hey, Don't you have miffed with me or else this dark fairy should charm the scales off your butt!
Honey, dear, I don't wanna go. Let us stay!
I know, we can leave tomorow.
No, not again! Don't mess up my lyrics, will you?
Can we go now, then?
If you think it's absolutly necessery. Or ,it's ain't necesserely so?
So, you want to play Romeo and Juliet! Just don't forget it, they were dead in a day after they got together. Made mighty mistakes. We shouldn't commit them.
All right, a living lover is better than a dead one. Let's go!
And we went.
It beacame colder as the sun started to set. The shadows grew longer, wind moved the branches above our heads and it started snowing again.
I felt the impact of this enchanted wondering in the forest of magic, my limbs were trembling, not only my legs, but my hands, too. My blood sugar level has reached nill, I thought. I was shaky and dizzy. I didn't want Dave to notice it, didn't want him get worried because of my condition. I tried to collect all my remaining strength , which would enable me to go further.
He wasn't in much better shape by now, he coughed a lot and he had a sore throat.
His neck is so sensitive, in every meaning...
I took out my scarf from my neck, zipped my rugged coat and hang the scarf on to his neck and tied it neatly.
Well, it's not your beloved checked one, but would do the trick.
Thank you, Mauka. I much needed this, it is so damn cold. We should choose a camp site somewhere near. I know, we won't find caves this time, but we do have to find some protection against the wind, the snow and the cold.
Well, I am just wondering, I know you'd been in my trailer... Well, my cigarettes are out and I badly need it, if you know what I mean? Is it possible, that you saw a pack in our sack?
I kept those cigarettes I found in my inner pockets, and I forgot them completely. I handed them to him.
He was as happy as a child with his lollipop. He was all smiles and lit one of them, and took a puff of it.
I was happy seeing him happy, I smiled back. He took my hand and we went further on the trail in search for a suitable place for our camp, which would be only a hole in the deep snow and two plain sleeping bags tonight.
A little to the left we found some trees with shrubs and a small clearing in the middle of it. Dark was closing in.
And as shit happens everyday, we hadn't found dry wood to warm us with a fire. Nothing was left for eating and hadn't had any water.
We reached abyss.
I sat down in to the snow and didn't mind my clothes become wet, I didn't care.
I was barely conscious. Sometimes, I wish I was dead, I thought. But my sight fell on David who was indestructable and was digging a hole, just big enough for the two of us to stay. I wanted to help him and stood beside him.
I bring the sleeping bags, ok.? He answered with a nod and kept digging.
I came back with all of our stuff
Nothing remained?- he asked.
Nothing.
Well, ok. We must eat snow, then.
I don't want to, I want to sleep.
You will, here, eat this.
And that night New Zealandian white snow was our dinner.
We arranged the sleeping bags for the night rest. I kneeled down beside him.
What, if we would try to zipp the two sleeping bags together, then we would have a larger space, could keep each other warm and won't be separeted.
I want your touch, tonight. David, I don't care, call me crazy, whatever, I didn't get anything to eat, didn't get a drink, didn't get a fire. But, sure I can have you, can't I?
I desperatly wanting you Dave, it was killing me all day long and I couldn't have been that tired to expell the desire from my mind, I want you.
Maybe, we would be frozen and dead by the morning, take it as my last wish, and before you'd say anything, I'm not kidding.
I want to feel your touch. This is as a strong of a desire that consumes me whole.
Come here, baby, let me love you! He answered with deep emotions showed in his voice, Come here, love, I do whatever you want from me, just ask me.
Ask me and I'd supply all your needs and fulfill your wildest dreams, just come here and I would love you as you haven't been loved before.
And I obeyed him.
With quite a struggle we made our ways to the sleeping bags and zipped it, when both of us were inside he took me into his arms and started kissing me passionately.
I was gasping for air. It was sheer madness making love in a situation like this, it was rather an obsession than a decent desire, but still, we both felt the same urge.
Last night I thought it couldn't have been any better. Well,it could.
David was unstoppable now, I didn't see a thing in the total darkness, even the sky was clouded and being a new moon, it was as black as in the bottom of the Earth.
But I felt him. Every move he made, every kiss he gave, every caress, every bite, the strength of his hold, the warm and smell of his skin, heared his panting, and I felt him inside. He just went mad, I felt as he would tear me into pieces, he pushed and pushed until we werent in this reality anymore. We were panting like runners after completing the marathon.
I was so greatful, he loved me like that. So greatful, I could die for him.
I could not stand whispering in to his ears: All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms.
Strange, I felt him smiling, haven't seen, but felt with my face his muscles moving in his face, it was a real blind date.
What is it you want now, he sighed to my ears.
And I messed up his lyrics again: It's easy, It's just more.
And he gave me more. Much more.
It was morning again. Not a bright one, but morning.
When awake we stayed inside the sleeping bag and laid in each other's arms.
We were so close, both in the meaning body to body, and his soul to mine.
One cannot describe this majestic feeling. We had nothing, we were at the brink of peril and we were immensely happy.
Absurd as it is I've never been any happier.
We knew we had to move, tried to get our clothes fixed as we climbed out.
I was very weak. The most insane I could have done was last night, as it drained all of my energy, but I didn't care. I could die happily in a minute, I didn't care, I was in an altered state of mind, an inner fire burnt inside of me with such a high flame that I actually felt hot. Dave's eyes were hazed, probably felt something very similar.
Or he was just hungry.
Come, come my love, move on!
You are restless, ain't you?
Yes, I am. We should find food or this would be our last day, I can see your condition deteriorating, I don't want you die, you know.
Let me see your hands, can I see them, please!
What, my hands? What do you want with my hands?
Just gimme them!
All right, here they are.
There is frozebite on it, does it hurt?
Well, no, it's rather numb, I don't feel a thing, I am very tired.
We should take care of it or it could be resulted losing your fingers.
Of course, I started crying. I didn't like the idea living without fingers at the least.
Hush, hush, please, don't cry, don't cry honey. It would be okay, I fix it for you.
He made dressings from moss and made a bandage. When it was ready he pulled my knitted gloves onto my hand.
I was still crying , I was unconsolable. I was tired, so tired, so very tired.
He helped me stand up and we started walking which was rather a crawl then walking, but we went further in the direction of our zeal, the lodge.
It was closer now, David studied the sketchy map and he said it's closer than five miles, so we can cover it today.
To hear it was like hearing the news about the coming of the second kingdom.
During our way we found moss again, we ate it. But after an hour both of us vomited it out.
I would say, I have seen better days in my life, said David while cleaning his mouth out with a handful of snow. Are you okay?
It was a rhetorical question, wasn't it? Just look at me, you sure see the answer.
Be a bit more patient, tonight, hon, we would sleep in a bed, I promise you. We are on the track, look up, do you see that ridge? Right on the middle of it, there is the lodge with stocks, blankets, radio, everything. We are struggling for six days now, we are close to its end, we would reach it by early afternoon, you eat, drink and can sleep, come on, come on.
By now I became his favourite slave. I was obedient, did what my master ordered, I followed him. He held my hands and we were on our way to reach haven of some kind, a haven which meant our life.
