Chapter 254: Chapter 254

[POV Reo]

By the time it was dark we were already trekking through snow… even though nothing could possibly happen to any of us, we still wanted to call it a day and set up camp for the night. With magic, we could have easily continued our trek but everyone agreed with Luna that it was much better when we weren't using our powers or magic to make things easy.

The tents we have brought were also mundane… while setting up the tents, out of the blue a snowball fight broke out. The fight was really competitive and it finally ended when all of us ended up on snow laughing off our asses. It was really too much fun, I don't remember when was the last time we had fun like this.

The girls were really unhappy that my tent was only big enough to host two girls at a time. But, it also meant that they can have me for themselves for a night… the tents were finally set up in a circle. After that Luna as the head decided to assign duties. Luna assigned Natasha and me to the hunting duty.

"Um… if you don't mind me asking, what kind of animals should we expect?" Natasha asked Luna, even though Natasha has left behind her spy life she was still unable to forget the old habits. Like this one… we were simply hunting for food, there was no need for a debrief.

Luna simply smiled at Natasha's question. "Foxes and Mountain Goats" Luna said while nodding her head. Sometimes she felt like a sage… the similarities were really uncanny.

"Oh" it was the only thing that came out of Natasha's mouth and both of us left to look for our food.

"So, are you sure that we are going to find some mountain goat here? I have no problem with a fox too" after walking in the snow for almost 10 minutes Natasha spoke up. Wow… Nemuri would have crossed if she would have heard that Natasha didn't mind eating up a fox. Well, if eating a fox is the only way of getting food then I don't think anyone would mind… well, except Nemuri that is. Pretty sure, it would be cannibalism.

"Yes, we will definitely find Mountain Goats here, and don't ever let Nemuri hear what you just said about Foxes" I answered Natasha, she noticed that when I said that we were going to find mountain goats, my voice was really cold. "If Luna said that we are going to find mountain goats then we are going to find mountain goats" I declared in a serious tone.

"Sorry… I didn't mean it that way. I know that Luna has the ability to see the future but sometimes it's just hard to get used to" Natasha spoke defensively as soon as I finished speaking.

"I am also sorry… I shouldn't have reacted like that" I said in a sincere tone. It makes me remember the time when Luna started Hogwarts. Even though due to the two Ravenclaws unable to enter the dorms dissuaded everyone from bullying Luna it didn't stop them from calling her 'Looney' and I hated it when someone called her that.

I wanted to beat up those kids but Luna stopped me from doing that. She said it was fine… even after, so many arguments that it wasn't fine, Luna didn't budge. She said that it was fine because she was going to be the bigger person here and not react to the name. According to her, it would stop if she didn't react and it did stop only after the Easter Holidays during her first year.

I sensed several life signs in front of us… it was clear that the life signs didn't belong to humans. I made a gesture towards Natasha to stay silent to which she nodded her head in understanding. When we finally came close enough we saw that a group of foxes was surrounding a mountain goat. Natasha silently pulled out her knife and pulled her arm back. I had a pretty good idea about what she wanted to do and I allowed her… after all, I knew that Natasha's aim was great and it has become more precise after she gained her powers.

She finally threw the knife towards the goat… she didn't wait for long because the foxes could jump the gun and sink their claws and teeth in that goat. Neither the group of foxes nor the goat noticed the knife until it lodged in the goat's head. The foxes immediately looked around and as soon as they saw Natasha's glowing blue eyes in the darkness… they decided to turn tail.

"Did I just scare off those foxes?" Natasha asked me with a bewildered look on her face.

"Seems like you did" I deadpanned and we both started to walk towards the spasming body of the goat. Blood was pooling on the snow giving it a similar color to Natasha's crimson hair.

Natasha pulled out the knife from the goat's head and wiped it clean on the goat's fur. "So, are we going to dismantle it here or take it back to the camp?" Natasha asked me.

After thinking for a few seconds, I gave her my answer "Let's take it back to the camp". Natasha nodded and stood up. She took out some ropes from her backpack. While Natasha was doing that I started to walk towards the nearest tree. Climbing a tree was pretty easy even without magic or my powers. After cutting off a branch I simply jumped down.

When I came back I chopped off the twigs from the branch and Natasha efficiently tied the goat by it's legs on the branch. It was clear that Natasha had some experience before. Both of us picked up the branch and put it on our shoulders… with our strength it would have been easy to carry the goat back to the camp on our own but getting a helping hand is always nice.

"Have you done this before?" I asked Natasha curiously. She was in the back so I was unable to notice her facial expressions that changed into a frown.

"…Yes, when I was young I was left in a forest covered in snow with only regular clothes on my body… I wasn't the only one, there were others. We had to survive for a week… we had to do what was needed to survive" Natasha said in monotone… it was clear that she didn't want to speak about that part of her life…

"It's fine you know… you are fine. You no longer need to go back to that place… what matters is the present and the future. With your present you can build your future… you can have whatever future you want. You can't live in the past… it will only drag you down. You can't change your past but you can have whatever future you want to have" I spoke in a gentle manner, I tried to be sincere with what I said. For a few seconds, Natasha didn't say anything and kept walking silently…

"…Thank you" Natasha finally said in a soft tone and the rest of the walk was completely silent. We finally arrived at the camp and Natasha started to dismantle the goat corpse. She expertly skinned the goat and drained its blood…  the other girls decided to give her space.

I was in charge of cooking so after Natasha was done dismantling I seasoned the meat and put it on a skewer and positioned the meat over the fire. All of us patiently sat around the fire sharing stories while the meat was getting cooked.

When the meat was finally done, Momo helped me serve the food while Rumi brought a bottle of Scotch. Nobody denied the drinks and dinner continued… it was clear that all of us were having a lot of fun. Taking a break from time to time is really nice. After the dinner was over we decided to drink for a few more hours until we get completely sloshed.

Getting sloshed wasn't something that was going to happen, at least not with any of us except maybe Ororo and Natasha. I didn't know what kind of tolerance Jean got because of the Phoenix stashed inside her. Even after, an hour of drinking all of us were completely fine. Luna decided to put her foot down because we needed to get up early. While Luna was saying that, I heard Natasha talking with Nemuri and Momo. Momo looked really proud but Nemuri wasn't so happy but she still had a perverted grin on her face.

I decided to ignore that and entered my tent… I was sure that someone or twosome would be joining me for the night. I was betting most of my money on Nemuri. On the way here she had made it clear that she wanted to have sex. I took off my jacket, shirt, and pants before I slid under the blanket… after some time it seemed like I was right and someone was approaching my tent. I was slightly surprised that it was Natasha.

Natasha opened my tent flap and crawled inside, I was already getting the idea about what she wanted. She must have been talking about this with Nemuri and Momo. "How can I help you, Natasha?" I asked her, even though I knew her reason that didn't mean that I won't see if she is ready to accept it or not.

"After the talk, we had in the forest I have been thinking about what to do with my future… you know when I calmly thought about it I found that the decision wasn't hard" Natasha said and started to unzip her jacket. She was wearing a tank top inside. "I want my future to be with you… I can't see my future without anyone of you" Natasha said and pulled down her pants.

With that done, Natasha calmly slid under the blanket and started to caress my body. I was slightly surprised by how passionate Natasha sounded. "Are you sure about this? There will be no going back… I am a very possessive guy" I said in a serious tone. Natasha's hands stopped around my abs and she gave me a determined look.

"Yes, I am pretty sure. But I will leave if you don't want me" Natasha said in a serious tone. "I would understand if you don't want someone like me" Natasha finished and pulled her hands away from my body.

"You have no idea how badly I want you… and your past doesn't mean shit! The things I have done in the past, and I might have to do in the future will make your ledger look like child's play" I said with a serious tone and my hands snaked around her waist and I pulled her closer. Natasha didn't protest in the slightest. "I just want to know if you are sure or not?" I said to Natasha and looked at her intently

"Yes, I am sure. Now, make me yours" Natasha said in a husky tone and her lips met with mine for the first time but I was pretty sure that it won't be the last time…
