Banished Pt. 17

I could feel Astrid underneath me; her lips pressing to mine, her glorious cunt wrapped around my cock as I slid in and out of her, but I was quickly losing myself in the web of images, until finally, I felt myself on the verge of an orgasm.

Astrid was coaxing me, trying to plunge me past the point of no return, and as I finally ascended to that pleasurable cusp, the web seemed to stretch out before me, until a single threat stood out, and as I grasped onto it, a scene appeared before my eyes.

"It's a girl!" the voice said, and I shook my head, quickly recognizing it to be Evie's.

Evie seemed to be holding a little bundle in her hand, and as I followed her gaze, I spotted Cameron, an uncertain look on her face.

She was panting, completely drenched in sweat, and tears running down her cheeks.

"Please tell me she's okay... please," she begged, and Evie nodded.

"She's... perfect," Evie said, moving to her side. "Here; you can hold her."

Cameron was shaking, and as she took the child into her arms, she began to sob.

"Thank god... I'm holding you in my arms, thank god... I just wish Nathan were here."

There was a slightly bothered look in Evie's eyes at that, but as Cameron held the child close, she continued:

"I'll never let you go... Never..."

And I gasped, as I suddenly came back into myself, collapsing onto Astrid as I did.

Bianca seemed worried, and the princess was keeping her in check, as she stroked her hand reassuringly.

"He is fine," she said, studying me as she did. "You saw something, did you not?"

I nodded slowly, trying to process what I'd just seen.

I mean, maybe I could have used a little confirmation that the child that Cameron was going to bear would again be mine...

But maybe it didn't matter.

Cameron would be fine.

She would come back.

And she would have a child which she desired and loved...

I climbed off of Astrid, and let out a relieved sigh as I did.

"Were our visions the same?" I asked, and Astrid shook her head. "What did you see, then?" I asked, and she bit her lip.

"I will need to think on it before I answer," she replied, but as my gaze flicked to the stream of cum oozing out of her sex, she suddenly blushed.

She grabbed up her robes and quickly donned them, then tried to somewhat straighten herself out.

"I am needed elsewhere," she said, but as she moved for the door, she came to a pause beside Gisela.

"My assessment of your frivolity was incorrect," she said. "Accept my apologies."

Gisela quickly nodded, taking her hand as she did, and the girls shared a brief moment, before Astrid turned and headed off.

Miriam was grinning at me, and Bianca was looking between us with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

"How do you feel?" I asked, as I peered for a moment into Miriam's core, and she waved away my concern.

"I am fine. Witnessing your conquest was worth the exertion," she announced, and I shook my head disapprovingly.

She let out a yawn, however, as her low energy levels finally seemed to be catching up with her, and Gisela moved to her side.

"Do you need to be tended? Frau Evelyn still slumbers," Gisela noted, her brow crinkled with worry.

"It is fine. The matter of my regeneration is settled," she said, and Gisela let out a gasp, as her eyes immediately following Miriam's hand to her stomach.

"A future queen," she announced proudly, and I tilted my head at that.

She will be a princess, I thought. You are the only queen I require.

Miriam studied me, and I thought I saw an unusual look in her eyes, but Gisela was quickly ushering us away so that the princess could rest.

As we left the room, however, I noted Bianca's eyes on me.

"What?" I asked, eyeing her as we walked.

"Nothing," she said. "You just seem to be in a much better mood."

I smiled a little.

"I guess I am, huh."

"Did that girl really show you the future?" she asked, and I nodded.

"I think so."

"What did you see? Was it that we'd beat Ethan?" she asked, and I shook my head.

"No. I saw Cameron giving birth to a baby girl, and happily taking the child into her arms," I explained, and Bianca's eyes went wide.

"So, your baby? It survived?"

I shook my head, a little sadly.

"My child, were it still alive, would have been a son."

Bianca frowned, and after another moment's thought, she added:

"But that means we'll succeed right? You'll bring Cameron home, and you two will have another baby?"

I bit my lip, rubbing the back of my head nervously.

"Uh, the vision never showed me that the child was mine, so there's no guarantee that I'm making it back. But Cameron is," I said, and Bianca studied me.

"What? Cameron would never have a baby with anyone else," she countered, and I shrugged.

"Difficult to think that now; but if I die on this rescue mission, who knows what the future will bring?"

Bianca frowned, coming to a stop, and I turned to study her.

"Guess you'll have to find someone else to be important to, huh?" I asked, smiling a little, and Bianca blinked a few times, then shook her head.

"No," she replied, and I chuckled.

"You say that now, but life will go on; with or without me," I countered, and she shook her head, stomping her foot this time.

"No. It won't. If you're not coming back from this, then neither am I."

I chuckle a little, but as I studied Bianca, I noted that despite the childlike response, her expression was quite serious.

"You can have a life without me, you know," I began. "You're a warrior now- a super soldier?"

"I don't care. I don't want a life without you."

I shook my head at her.

"Bianca-"

"I'm done talking," she said, pushing her way past me, and I let out a sigh as I followed her down the corridor to the entry hall.

As I stepped outside, I took a deep breath in, enjoying the fresh outdoor air once again, and raising my hand in the light to take a look at it.

"Nate! You're up, oh my god!"

Francesca leapt into me, hugging me, and in all of five seconds she started crying.

"I'm so sorry," she began, but I quickly cut her off, pulling her into my arms for a hug.

"There was literally nothing you could do," I said, and she nodded, wiping at her eyes.

"I know... I felt so helpless. I wanted to be your spear, but instead I was nothing."

I shook my head at her.

"I still need a spear," I said. "Because we're gonna get her back."

Francesca wiped at her eyes, nodding again.

"We've been training. All day and as much of the night as we could manage."

"I heard," I said, patting her on the head, and ruffling her hair a bit, and she smiled, leaning her head onto me.

"I'm so scared, though. What if we're still not good enough..."

I shook my head, then let out a sigh.

"It's fine. I don't think he harbors a grudge against anyone but me," I explained, and I caught Bianca staring at me as I said that. "Besides. I have a plan."

Francesca's eyes lit up a bit at that, and she smiled.

"I knew you would," she said, smiling a bit.

As we spoke, I spotted Casey coming over to join us, a slightly awkward expression on her face.

"Are you cleared for combat practice?" she asked, gesturing to my hand, and I rubbed the back of my head nervously.

"I think my attending physician is still unconscious," I said. "It still hurts a bit, so definitely not for physical combat, but... I am developing some pretty cool skills that don't require me to wield a weapon."

Casey swallowed uncomfortably, nodding as she did, and as I stepped forward, I looked around for the others.

"We have, what? Four days till Ethan's deadline?" I asked, and Casey nodded. "So, let's say two days to train, and two days to get there," I added, and Casey studied me.

"Are you sure about that?" she asked, and I nodded.

"I sort of know where he is," I explained, rubbing the back of my head nervously as I did.

"So, two days to train, then?" Francesca asked, and I nodded.

"Yep; so we better make it count," I said, cracking my neck, as I steeled my resolve.

We're coming for you, Cameron.

And we're gonna bring you home!
