The Warriors Braid

Isadora grabbed the tree branch using it to hoist her body, her foot planted on a strong one as she pulled herself up to sit.

A smile found her lips when she got to her goal... a juicy looking peach she couldn't wait to have a taste.

It had been nothing but what Kraven brought, it was either soup or bread. She definitely needed a change of taste because her poor stomach couldn't take any more soup.

Suddenly, a dagger flew through the air, pinning the peach on the branch, its juices spilling away.

"I never pictured you as a climber."

The familiar gravel voice caused an irritated feeling to overwhelm her, the same way the dead butterflies in her stomach danced.

'The loneliness of this place is getting to me and now I feel something when he comes' she thought with an eye roll, leveling her gaze to Kraven who had a smug grin on his lips.

"You'd be surprised by things I can do," she replied.
