Owww yess here we go 💕💕💕
Freddie, Brian and the two wolves followed the three witches to their house, their invitation for a cozy night in front of the fireplace and a good bowl of soup was already making all of them all fuzzy.
It was then that they noticed two yellow eyes glowing in the woods, right next to their big cottage. A shiver ran down Freddie's spine and he clutched onto his crystal pendant, ready to cast a spell.
The creature growled and stomped closer, shaking the trees as he walked by, until it showed itself in front of the whole group gritted his teeth with another growl. Roger started barking at him, angry and loud, while John stayed back but was growling as well, ready to attack.
"Jim! Don't worry, they're with us." Dominique raised a hand in front of the monster's face and he sniffed the air, smelling the men and the wolves' scents.
"Can you please allow us home?" Dom asked once more and Jim finally leaned his forehead against her hand, earning some soft caresses from the witch. Roger and John calmed down seeing that the creature was tamed and also Brian and Freddie relaxed.
"What... who is that?" Fred asked, getting closer to Jim with awe.
"He's Jim, our house's guardian. He lives in the forest around here, we don't know exactly what kind of creature he is... but he's good, he protects us and the woods from hunters and we take care of him in exchange, with food and some company." Chrissie explained and Dominique slowly led Freddie's hand on Jim's head.
Jim opened his eyes and stared directly in Freddie's. He felt his heart skipping a beat, they were the same color of the sunset, huge and gentle, while his head was covered in a soft moss and he had flowers sprouting here and there. His body seemed made with stone and wood held together by magic, and Freddie thought that was the most unique and beautiful creature he's ever seen.
He didn't resist the urge to hug Jim, even though he was as big as his arm, and smiled against the soft chest.
The creature tilted his head glancing at Dominique and she chuckled. "Now let's go in, shall we?"
It wasn't easy for Freddie to leave the hug, but in the end he gave Jim a final wave and followed the others inside the house, walking next to the ladies.
"I really really like your guardian, darling!"
