Chapter 10 - Music in the forest

It was about mid day when Skuld and Ali said their goodbyes, they spent most mid morning walking the sanctuary talking about new and old memories. Ali left to go tend the garden with the Cubs leaving Skuld alone. Skuld decided to lay in the grass looking up at the clouds smirking. "I know your job is to watch and protect me but I think this goes more on the stalker side" Skuld called out laughing. "Just doing my job princess. You told me not to be around" Kevin replied as he came out of the shadows with a smirk. "Did you enjoy your time with miss Ali" he asked as he laid down next to her. Skuld nodded with a smile "yea, I really missed her" Skulds smile was short lived as the conversation from this morning ran through her head. "I'm sorry if I scare you and Eka last night.." Skuld looked over at him as he continued staring at the clouds "it's okay princess, as long as your safe" Skuld stood up and reached out for his hand "Well as long as I'm stuck here might as well have fun" she offered a smile as she helped him get up. "What do you have in mind princess?" Skuld thought for a minute then shrugged "I have been away for 5 years. So you can choose" she finally replied back. "Okay, we'll I have an idea" he smiled before sprinting into the forest shifting into his wolf form, Skuld followed shortly after. Running through the forest Skuld tried to take in all the scents around her but none were to distinguish. ~Princess are you trying to spoil the surprise?~ Kevin's voice echoed in her head. ~Of course not, just curious to where we are going.~ skuld replied back as the started to slow down. ~Well now I'm curious, what are you able to pick up Princess.~ Kevin asked as he stopped and looked at her. Skuld stopped right next to him and hesitated before giving in and closed her eyes. She could sense a few birds around her and tried to push further where she could sense a few wild animals playing. She tried to go past that but her head started to pound making everything blurry. ~I can only sense a few animals a few yards ahead of us… after that it gets to blurry for me~ Skuld replied as she opened her eyes and hung her head shamefully. Kevin's laughter filled her head ~Well starting tomorrow we will be doing some training, but today I have other plans~ Kevin looked at her and started to walk away. Skuld followed behind him still embarrassed about what just happened. Has 5 years really changed her that much, maybe Eka was right for making her stay. As more thoughts crossed her mind she didn't even realize Kevin had stopped and she ran right into him. ~I'm so sorry Kevin!~ she looked at him apologetically then her head snapped around as she heard beautiful music. She could see her sister Envy sitting on a rock singing to a group of kids. Her sister looked as beautiful as always as her golden hair swayed with the wind. ~maybe you should pay more attention around you then in your head princess~ kevin broke her from her trance with his laughter. She looked back at him as he walked behind a tree, she took that time to shift back to human form and manifested some clothes on. "So what we're you thinking about princess" Kevin said as he came out again. "Just thinking maybe I'm. It as strong as I once was.. I thought I could protect myself but your making me realize that's not the case" Skuld replied with a heavy sigh. "I wasn't trying to bring you down princess. But like I said tomorrow we will start your training again, as of right now let's enjoy this." Kevin replied as he got close then extended his hand to her "May I have this dance princess?"
