They entered the town and immediately got looks. Claire was not going to let this slid for much longer, it must have been her cat wanting to rip them to shreds or her curse getting worse. Either way this was not going to end well for them.

"Geralt we need to leave, I'm not sure why but I think my cat is trying to warn us," she said softly.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I don't know Geralt, maybe all the people staring at you like they want to kill you but my cat has never done this Geralt. My curse might also be speeding up," she informed.

Geralt was trying not to worry but that meant what ever time she had left was disappearing fast.

"Oi! Get the fuck away from here witcher!" A man yelled making Clare roll her eyes.

"Geralt I'm fixing to beat someone and not by choice," she informed as he was stopped and Jaskier looked up at him a bit worried.

He noticed Claire was not acting normal and in fact she seemed more pissed off then normal. Must have been that time of the month or something. Then before he had a chance to even react they surround them.

"We told you to leave! Your kind isn't welcome here!" The man growled as Jaskier on Claire's horse.

"We are, if you let us pass we will be out of town quickly," he said as a man grabbed Claire and took her away from them.

"Worst mistake you have ever made!" Claire yelled as she punched the guy in the face, "Seperate!"

Claire quickly started running bringing some of the men to her while Geralt quickly took out his sword ready to fight. Some of the men backed off while others drew there swords and other weapons then went straight to him. Clare quickly knocked out several men but one got the upper hand and grabbed her by her waist and threw her over his shoulder.

"Let of me you disgusting pig!" She screamed as he was taking her to an Inn.

She kicked, screamed, hit him, anything to get away from him. But the guy was as big as Geralt and seemed to be enjoying her fighting. He threw her on the ground hard and laughed as the wind got knocked out of her lungs.

"Fine, you don't want to do it the easy way we will do it the hard way!" He growled as he grabbed one of her legs and dragged her to him as she was trying to get away. He got on top of her and tried kissing her but she was barely holding him off.

"Geralt a little help please! Jaskier!"'she yelled Geralt saw this big guy trying to kill Claire.

"I do like women that fight!" He laughed as Geralt did the only thing he could do.

"Claire!" He yelled tossing her his sword while he had to now handle the guys with and to hand combat.

She grabbed his sword an quickly stabbed the guy in the shoulder making his scream and get off of her.

"I'm not just good with hand to hand big boy!" She yelled as she quickly decapitated him.

She quickly started fighting off the men with swords that started to go after her but she was quickly able to show them that she was not just any girl with a sword. Geralt was surrounded and after several minutes of fighting he was forced to the ground and chained up. He was then knocked out and dragged away while Jaskier watched in disbelief.

"Claire they have Geralt!" Jaskier yelled making her look to the large group of people that had him.

"Fucking hell!" She yelled as she tried to get to him but there were to many people.

She quickly called over her horse leaving Jaskier and Roach behind. The men chased her as she took off making them laugh as they felt like they won the fight but Claire wasn't going to let this slide. She was very aggressive and possessive so if she wanted to get something back that was hers she was going to one way or another.

A couple of hours later Jaskier found Claire and smiled happily at her only to have her pin him against a tree.

"What the fuck was that Jaskier?! You didn't even try to fight them and now Geralt is going to be killed tomorrow at dawn!" She yelled.

"I'm not like either if you I'm not a fighter!" He argued.

"Neither was I before I realized that if I wanted my life to change I was going to have to do it myself. Do you know where he is at least?" She asked as he nodded.

"They have a jail but it's hard to get to. There are a lot of armed guards around the building and around the town. Night is going to be here fast, we have to try in the morning to get him," Jaskier informed.

"No... I will not wait that long. I... I can maybe get to Geralt and clear a path for you to get to him but it will be cutting it close also if I try I can maybe try to make my curse come an early. Cat reflexes are faster, I will be more flexible, faster, meaner, but I don't know if I can even do it. Plus I know that if I am able to do it then the punishment for getting that boost will be server," she explained.

"Wait you can just tap into your curse like that?" He asked.

"The half hour before I turn is when my body is getting ready to turn into a cat but maybe if I try I actually force myself to change a bit," she explained.

"You will suffer a lot, you said that it hurts a lot when you turn," Jaskier pointed out.

"Jaskier he has a daughter out there, she may not be his blood or mine but she is alone and scared. I would do anything for her, my pain will be nothing to the pain that losing a child costs. If I die sooner because I turn so be it. I lived a long life that has been meaningless this far. She could change this land and make it better for everyone. I won't know until we get her. If Geralt is ready to lay down his life for her it's the least I could do for her. After all I don't have much time left we all know that Jaskier. He is trying to buy me more time to figure out a three hundred year old curse but he won't be able to save me. I made piece with death and I'm not afraid of dying to save someone's life even if I don't know them well or at all," she said as she looked up at the sky.

"Here I thought you were a bitch," he said as she smiled.

"I am but I care about children a lot. They never have a say in adult problems," she informed.

They waited until it was almost night and Clare was focusing on her curse trying to see if she could indeed tap into it. Jaskier stood by bord out of his mind as she was trying hard to make some of the cat come out sooner.

"This isn't working, you aren't going to be able to do it," Jaskier said as she ignored him.

"Come on! Just this once I need the powers, I won't use it again unless it's a life or death situation like it is know and you know it," she muttered as she could feel some of her bones snap.

Her nails grew long and her eyes turned to cat eyes as she opened them. Pure untainted rage filled her body and she smiled as she picked up her sword and popped her neck.

"Claire?" Jaskier asked as she headed to the town.

"If I turn into a cat throw me if you have to! Get Geralt and leave me behind, I will find you," she informed as she started running to the city.

"Oh dear God she did it..." Jaskier informed as he followed behind her.

The guards were not really expecting her return but was expecting Geralt to excape out of there. There were a lot but with how angry she was it wasn't going to take long. She quickly started beating up and killing some of the guards quickly without them even knowing what was going on. She was able use her flexibility to doge the swords as well as catch a few arrows that were being shot at her. The cat eyes to see in the dark making it easier for her to take so many on at once and the sharp nails for slicing there faces when they did manage to get a hold of her.

"Kill her!" A man yelled as she slit his throat and hissed as seven men came after her at once.

"What is she?!" A man yelled as she quickly jumped over one the men and and landed back on her feet and stabbed him in the chest. She punched a couple in the face And and cut one of there heads clean off.

"I hate all of you!" You yelled as she quickly killed all of them except one.

She turned into her black cat as quickly hopped on the guards face scratching it up and making him back up into the cellar stairs. The man fell backwards down the stairs making him break open the door and made Claire go flying onto the floor.

Jaskier heard yelling as he quickly ran down the stairs and grabbed the key that the guard she knocked down the stairs had.

"What the hell did you bring her here?! She is no shape to fight!" Geralt asked angerily as Jaskier unlocked the cell and free him from his chains.

"Oh really? Well tell her that when she comes to!" He said as Geralt picked her up and grabbed his sword that she was using.

He looked around and saw dead bodies laying g in pools of blood. Scratch marks on the guards faces didn't match her cat nails she had.

"What happened here?" He asked.

"Well combine her attitude with that cat and you get a blood thirsty monster... we need to go now, I hid Roach. I was expecting a thank you!" He muttered as Geralt picked up her dress and looked down at her.

She was as stiff as a board, and her breathing was labored.

"What did you do to yourself Claire?" He asked as he heard men coming there way.
