After my mumbled promise we headed out of the nest, where we were soon joined by curious cubs that I soon recognized where Shadows playmates from earlier. One cheecky little devil nipped at his feet as he walked. Shadow stopped, and looked down at the little guy and used his right front paw to whap its butt. The little cub yelped in surprised pain and then ran off with a playful yip at the other two and they ran off.
I raised my eyebrow at what he did because it really reminded me of.... "How a child gets disciplined in your old world?" He supplied with a cocked eyebrow. "Yea I got that from a memory of yours, I think you were like 5yrs old and you broke something and your mom....." I smacked him lightly on the head and tried really hard to erase said memory from my head. That was not something I wanted to remember and that was definitly not something I had wanted for Shadow to see. "Please Shadow for the love of all that is holy, you will wipe that memory from your brain. Yes it was cute to see you implement it and use it on that cheecky little pup but I want you to forget seeing me as a child and that perticular incident....." Wait a minute, there were a few incidents that my mother used that kind of perticular punishment on me, along with some other things.... crap don't think about them! I could feel my memories slipping from my head into his and I wanted to die from shame and embaressment all over again. Was there a way to leash this mind link thing?
"Nope I don't think so little mate, and I rather enjoy watching you grow up from not only your old life but this one as well. I'll try to not look though if that is your wish, however...." Here his eyes twinkle with a michiviouse light, "I'm looking forward to the memory that you will reveal more to me about when you turn 18." I wanted to run into a corner and hide. "Lets just continue on shall we?" I managed to squeek out. He just laughed and carried me out to the caveren with the crystal clear lake. There the entire herd was huddled around Altia murmering and chuckling at something she had said previously.
As we walked up they slowly got silent. Altia turned around and saw us and slightly bowed her head. The entire herd followed her lead and dipped their heads down while letting out in a synchronized roar,
"WE ACCEPT YOU AS OUR PRINCESS CHILD OF THE HELLCATS."
