Bear and I finally got some alone time together.

The last few weeks have been so insane for the both of us. I was nearly turned into a vampire, we went in search of point dart, a fairy needed our help to liberate his tribe, Miss Ferrit got wind of a the cleric who destroyed the devil man so many years ago...

It was finally nice to be able to go to our favorite quiet spot, do some fishing and be able to spend some nice quality time together.

Bear told me finally about the time I had lost. About what had happened to me, and how he was able to convince Veirdra or whatever her name was, to release me.

I felt so bad for Bear. He said when the clerics of Deliar tried to slow the progression of the disease...they were shocked at how fast it was consuming me. That they werent sure if they could stop it. He said during that time was one of the worst moments of his life. He said I was screaming in agony, thrashing around like an animal.

Afterwards, they left me in the care of the healers...and he went in search of the vampire. One way or the other, she was gonna release me. Im glad he convinced her.

We talked for hours. Sometimes about silly and inane things, sometimes about more serious matters affecting us both, sometimes just sitting close to each other in silence just watching the fire and listening to the sounds of the wood.

It was on the second night that Bear told me the story of what had happened to me. He told me he loved me so much, he didnt know what he would have done if I had turned. I asked him..I asked him what he would he would have done if i had been turned. He told me he would have done what was needed. I could tell that question had been gnawing at him, how i would react...I was glad that it bothered him so much..Not to be cruel, just that..I felt really glad he would not have let me go on like that.

I just felt like I loved him more than ever when he told me that. That he would do anything to save me. I just hope I could be as strong for him if he ever needed me.

We spent that night in each others arms. I dont know how it happened..but it was wonderful. We shared so much that night...
