looking up at the sunrise over the crystal clear water a small bird gliding in the breeze moving back and forth sifting to the rhythm of the air watching the dance the bird was doing, I took notice of something in his claws a roll-up paper with a Purple ribbon attach to his foot the bird gently glided down as I put my hand out for him to land his claws was rough and gentle on my bare skin, I slowly untied the ribbon from his foot and thank the bird as on Que he took off.
as I unrolled the piece of paper I noticed the word test started. before I could read in a hand snatches the paper out of my fingers. "hey I was looking at that". I snapped a smirk laugh came out of sable " yea I know" "let me see it come on sable!. he shook his head in defiance " nope, you got to get it from me first". he began running. "darn you" I yelled out towards him. I bolted after him towards the direction he ran I chased him a good mile before I began to feel as though he wasn't just teasing me there was something he didn't tell me. I stopped in the middle of some wildflowers catching my breath Sables' voice came up out of nowhere, with a mockery tone "you gave up already Aine? come on your faster than that".
I grumbled, "I'm tired do we have to keep this up? you win".
"fine, we can rest a bit then you have to race me to the top of that mountain".
"fine" I complained "I don't understand why we have to do this! it's not like ill outrun you, your much faster than I am, you've always been better than me. You're good at fighting, and you got your transformation in like two days. I still can't get myself to transform into my animal. even my powers are still locked away. I started to look down At my hand's stream of tears rolled down my face I clasped on the grown barring my head in my hands.
Sable wrapped his arms around me pulling me near him his head leaning on mine he spoke softly, "Aine you are strong, brave, beautiful, you can do this your fast, and your Powers will come when the timing is right for you." ever since you lost your, parents, you have been scared to forget them, it is time for you to let go and find your strengths, I will not leave you to do this on your own, we are partners for life. your Father asked me if I will protect you and keep you safe and love you. and I promised him you are my world I will be your safe place. I will never let you do this alone. it is time to let go of your past and make new ones with me. you got to push yourself to be better than your past. I believe you can do this trust me.
I looked up at Sable's eyes I can see how much he means in his words that are true to his heart. I wiped my tears away and smiled up at him. he knew me so well and knows how to get me to conquer the demand that's holding me back losing part of myself if I moved forward I'm afraid of the new me. but I have him the boy no not a boy a man who been by my side who calls me (Aine, not danger-shadow ) not sure where he got that nickname for me but I love it and Sables is the only one that can call me that not even my uncle can say it, it's like our own morse code just between the two of us. a reminder of our promise to be together all was.
we sat on the ground, for a good while curled up with each other the smell of sweat and grass hit my nose but I don't care I love snuggling. Sable and I sat in silence and watched some leopards playing nearby their beautiful coats shine and their growl was music towards one another it made me smile how much this big animal is so beautiful and free to be who they are.
I look up at Sable and spoke "can we just have fun and be our self for once this week instead of worrying about getting stronger or better. I want to be free from worry and just stay relax and find myself at my own pace. I'm all was being pushed hard I just want fun never able to be me ever since my folks died. all I have been doing was train hard and harder no time to relax now we are in the middle of nowhere can't I take a break for once pushing me is not helping, please Sable".
"ok", he said looking at the note in his hands and he placed it in his back pocket " let's have fun no pushed test for a couple of days ok".
I shook my head in agreement.
we began to race up the mountain for fun no pushing ourselves just to run like a cheetah after his meal but for fun, I soon passed Sable and reach the top first. I turned toward sable "did you slow down for me" I asked sable
he looked at me a shaking his head "Nope you were fast than me."
I had a hard time believing him but it felt good and fun.
looking over the edge of the mountains you can see the jungle, underneath us how the sea green jungle view birds gliding over the trees the rhythm of the jungle sound of music in the distance. looking over at sable seeing how handsome he looks was breathtaking, Sable spotted a waterfall near the bottom of the mountain in his excitement voice, ''race you down'' he howled as he took off ''hey wait for me'' I yelled. we both took off running down the side of the mountain slope sliding down and dodging loose gravel, zig zagging lift and right threw the green maze dodging branches and jumping over dead trees. my body felt free for once felt fun instead of work as my legs kept moving fast a surge of lightning bolt threw out my veins every blood Vassil was tingling sensation threw out my entire body. I should be scared but I'm having to much fun to even car for once, feeling care free and safe knowing its just me and Sable out on an island no one else is around.
embracing this new found energy surge I felt un stoppable as though know one can touch me if they tried i lean into this new energy and started to feel my whole body shifted into a great tigress gold and silver a rower cry came out of my depth of my heart i froze for a little bet but to much amuse of my self I kept running towards our distention the waterfall where sable well be at waiting for me my heart was jumping for joy in this new felt energy out of me I cant believe this, finely concurred my transformation. bolting in a flash towards the sound of the waterfall smelling sable and my ear could hear him as well. as soon I spotted him in the clearing I couldn't help my joy forgetting I was still in my tigress form I pounced straight towards him. Sables eyes grew big and his arm flew up in a shielding himself from my attack my big Tung started to lick him in happiness.
sable stared at me in surprised Aine! he yelled in surprised he looked at my big eyes he could see it was me he just laid there for a while with the biggest smirk and happiness on his face, you did it! he said now get off my your big he spoke up again. shook my head and slowly got off him I couldn't believe It finely shifted into my animal form. calming my breathing and my heart, my form slowly transferred back into my human mold, I couldn't believe it ''I did it'' I yelled at Sable as I gave him a big hug, he wrapped his hands around me pulling me close , ''yes you did'' he spoke ''I'm proud of you, so is your family''. feeling so free right now my lips found his and planted a big kiss on his lip, Sable froze a little but then he deepened the kiss. my body started to spark literally spark I had a shite lighting up into his eyes seeing what i saw threw his eyes. my mind started to worried not sure what was happening a surge of electricity around my skin. sable didn't seemed to be bothered about it. pulling back from him looking at the white aurora around my body I flinched away. sable reached out and grab my hand pulling me towards him again its ok Aine this is part of you relax your not hurting me and its beautiful the glow of light around you is amazing. come lets go back to camp and eat. tomorrow we can go swimming, we need to rest now its late, your body needs to recharge. with out another word we headed back to camp still processing what happen the kiss and the glow around me was to much to comprehend what just happen, my thoughts were swirling with deferent emotions i love the feel of sables lips and his calmness around me even though i was freaking out in side my mind was a mess and my body felt as thought someone one else invaded my skin.
Sable could since I was having a hard time processing this hole energy surge that happen, he slowly pulled me into his embrace as we drifted to sleep for the night.
