Kurt's Fan Fiction

The Witcher (computer game)

It was a cold, foggy night everyone in the town was sleeping except for a few soldiers, patrolling the streets.

“AAAaaahhh” a scream, came out of nowhere, it was loud enough to wake the whole town. “THE BEAST HAS STRUCK AGAIN!!!” one of the soldiers cried.

“Follow me” called the captain, as he ran towards the origin of the scream. Most of the soldiers obeyed their Captains orders.

The Captain looked back and saw three soldiers had stayed behind. “Cowards” he muttered under his breath.

Turning the corner they saw a figure, a creature in the dark. Gingerly they approached . The creature saw them, in a blink of an eye it was gone.

They continued slowly, there was a woman lying covered in blood. They ran over, but they were too late, she was already dead.

Early the following morning a strange man, with eyes of a cat and hair as white as snow, walked into the town. His name was Geralt and he was a Witcher. A human chosen to be mutated, having enhanced speed and strength and the ability to see in the dark. Witchers don’t need to eat or sleep, they are also well educated in monster slaying and potion brewing.

As he walked the main road, he saw a large crowd of people down an alley way.
“I wonder what’s happen there”, he pondered.

The towns people stared at him as he walked past. One of them called out “get out of our town, you ugly mutant”.

Geralt stopped. He turned and walked towards the crowd, they backed off to avoid him. Geralt could now see a dead woman in the centre of the crowd “what happened?” he asked.

“She was killed, by a monster like you” he heard a woman say.

“I’m a Witcher” Geralt explained “I can help”.

A soldier walked up to Geralt, “We haven’t had a Witcher in this town for years” he exclaimed “I find it a bit suspicious, that one would appear now; now that our towns people are being hunted”.

“Typical human, prejudice towards all non-human creatures” Geralt proclaimed out loud.

The soldier took offense to Geralt’s statement, he threw a punch at Geralt, who dodged the attack easily.

Geralt replied to the attack with a punch back, dislocating the soldier’s jaw. The soldier fell to his knees, “Aaahh” he cried in pain, as he held his jaw. Geralt then struck the soldier’s head, knocking him out.

The other soldiers started to circle Geralt.

“Stop” yelled another man, he was dressed in the same uniform as the other soldiers except he wore a black cape.

“You must be the Captain” Geralt implied.

“I am; what business brings you to our town?” the Captain asked.

“I’m just passing through, on my way to Vizima; I can help you, with your monster problem” Geralt told the Captain.

The Captain nodded “we may just need your help; the creature that did this” he pointed to the dead woman “it’s been hunting us, for the last few days now, killing one to two people each night”.

He didn’t want to trust a stranger, but he was left no other options, he and his soldiers had failed to catch the creature, they didn’t even know what it was.

“If a Witcher cant catch this thing; we’re all dead” the Captain thought to himself.

The Captain told Geralt everything about the attacks. From what Geralt heard he figured the creature was likely to be a vampire. “It will strike again tonight” Geralt said “we’ll need to set a trap for it”.

“I have the prefect bait” the Captain replied.

Geralt and the soldiers had built a platform in the centre of town. There were three poles on the platform, tied to each pole was one of the soldiers that disobeyed their Captain the night before.

The sun was now setting, the soldiers hid down the alley-way, now armed with silver weapons. The silver weapons wouldn’t kill the creature, if it was a vampire, but they would at least be able to weaken it.

Geralt was overseeing everything from on top of the town hall. Just before sunset, the Captain stabbed one of the disobedient soldiers, hoping the scent of blood would draw the creature to their position.

Several hours past the creature had not been seen or heard. Geralt decided to search other parts of town.

Geralt saw something fly into the town, he stealthily followed.

He could see the creature quite well now, as he suspected it was a vampire.

The vampire climbed up a building overlooking the town centre, studying the position of the soldiers.

“Its not going to fall for the trap” Geralt whispered to himself, he quickly climbed the same building.

The vampire heard him, it turned around prepared to attack. Geralt was too quick for the vampire, he shot it with his crossbow.

The vampire roared out in pain.

Geralt drew his sword, and charged at the beast, it was not quite able to defend Geralt’s attack.

Having almost defeated the beast he kicked it off the building into the town centre, for the soldiers to finish it off.

As soon as the vampire hit the ground one of the soldiers called “GET THE BEAST”.

All the soldiers went running towards it, then stopped, staring, none of them attacked.

Geralt jumped off the building “what’s the problem?” he asked.

The Captain had a shocked look on his face “this is Mera” he cried “we buried her yesterday”.
