Chapter 6 - The Past

loud shouting erupted in our dining room where my parents were hosting a meeting of our future. slowly creeping towards the door my eyes peeked through the cracks in the door, listening in on the conversation before me I scanned the room my eyes stopped on a small boy who is standing by a tall man. the boy looked bored. he was cute I never saw such a handsome boy his har reddish-black, his eyes just as magical. the boy turns towards me a smile slowly appears on his face he winks at me. I pulled back knowing I was found out. I could help wonder who this boy is and why he is in the meeting, soon the conversation died down. then my mother spoke up we must let her decide, the children should not be rushed there only 10, I agree women by the boy spoke, its the children future, not ares let them decide to give them a week to interact with each other keeping them separate will not help them. Humm my father was thinking to bring our daughter in he announced to Jake our servant yes sir. I quickly stepped back from the door jack took my hand and brought me to my parents. my dad picked me up and set me on his lap holding me so I can see everything my dad leaned down into my ear and spoke to me. "My cub" this is Sable as he motions the boy to come to close the boy's father pushed him towards me. my eyes were now hooked in his eyes I became bashful and look up at my father then at my mother. trying to figure what is going on. Sable reached out towards me "Aine"–( a Celtic word meaning 'fire' and 'vibrancy', reflecting the fiery colors of a Tiger's fur" not my words). I smile and let him take my hand, the boy brought my hand up and kissed my hand pleasure to meet you. still trying to figure what's going on my father said you and Sable are going to spend this week together. before I could say anything the whole room started to shake violently as an earthquake just began my father grab the boy and me shoving us towards Jack he yelled take them to her uncle now as I felt my arms being pulled my eyes caught sables it's ok I will protect you, running past falling debris and slashing of swords and men fighting all around us. Jack stopped and crouched down he grabs sable and my hands he put our hands together he looks at sable and me. " do not let go of each other, and take care of each other, our future is on you two." now go find your uncle at the waterfalls of the forest he's waiting for you two don't look back go now"! Jack rushed back to the house and vanished. sable grabbed me and said l"et's leave now we must go" my leg was frozen in place sable kept urgently pulling me finally I was back to where I was. I shook my head out of my sadness, ok I sad crying we ran as fast as our legs could carry us sable kept looking back but no one was falling us we stopped at the waterfall. I started screaming for my uncle ben. sable wrap his arms around me to comfort me. a voice came behind the waterfall danger-shadow I'm here my eyes looked up and to my surprise, the waterfall parted making a way for my uncle to see us. come now his voice bombed over the sound of fighting. sable and I ran tours him as soon we inter threw the waterfall the water closed off and a shimmer of light was seen throughout the water " let's go" my uncle said. we walked through the dark cave holding our hands, as we exit the sky became dark my uncle picked me up, and we kept walking tours a road where we have met a car, a man opens the back door and my uncle placed us in the back seat of the car. soon we were on our way to safety. sable still had his hand wrapped in his mind we both drift off to sleep.
