It was a calm and peaceful day through the Atqueen Forest on the planet Atquati.The wind was gently blowing,making a rustling sound in the trees. Water creatus were injoying the nice day in little pools of water. The flowers smelled wonderful and the peeping sunlight through some gaps in the tree leaves looked absolutely beautiful! I took a deep breath. i loved wal;king through the Atqueen forest in the mornings.
Then I heard a yelp. It sounded painful. I stopped walking and tried to listen for it again. "Yaaao!" I ran towards the direction it came in. I came into a clearing,it was beautiful,like the rest of the forest. There was a stump in the middle of the clearing. i looked next to the stump and there was a trap tied to it.
"Err. Errrrrr. Yaow!" I looked over at the mouth of the trap and saw I Tesuri,it was simply a breath taking sight. It wasn't blue like the other ones were. This one had cream colored fur and it had pink streaks in her tail and hair. She had blue eyes,glimmering in the sunlight.
The Tesuri changed position and then I saw the mouth of the trap clamped tightly onto her ankle. "Why can't I break free?"the tesuri yelled very quietly,it almost seemed like a whisper.
"I can help you."I said softly. I'm guessing that i startled her. She turned her head and stared at me. I walked slowly closer to the injured Tesuri. She sat up and winced. that's when i noticed that her leg was bleeding. the Tesuri tried to back away,but she found it difficult because of her injury. "Please,trust me. I can get you out!"I said calmly. I moved closer to the mouth of the trap. "I don't know,no. Um...please..."she whispered. She sounded so scared. I bet she had never been in a trap before.
I had to move the mouth of the trap slightly in order to open the mouth. "Ow!"Tesuri squealed. "Sorry,I just needed to move the mouth a little bit."i explained. "Oh,please hurry!"she pleaded. It hurts me to see a Creatu hurt or injured. She sounded so much in pain. Her leg was pleading badly.
It took me a few minutes to open the mouth of the trap. The Tesuri moved her ankle out of the trap. "thank you. I guess not all people are bad."The tesuri said. "What do you mean by bad?"I asked. "i'll explain later. My name Tayloka,but my kind calls me Taylor."Taylor greeted. "Nice to meet you. i'm Maddie."I replied. Taylor smiled and I smiled back. "It certainly is a beautiful day,isn't it Taylor? Taylor?"No. reply. i looked over and I saw the Tesuri on the ground,passed out.
.........
I slowly opened my eyes. I felt weak. When everything came into focus,I noticed that I was in a bed. I sat up,but then there was this sharp shooting pain. I looked down and I noticed my ankle wrapped up in a bandage. I tilted my head. I suddenly remembered what happened. "How are you feeling Taylor?" I looked to my left and Maddie was sitting in a chair. "uh,yeah, I'm fine. Where am I"I asked.
"You're in my room! You're sitting on my bed." Maddie replied. I looked around. There were a balcony outside a huge walk-through window. Walls were lined with posters and pictures. Squichies were sitting on a window ledge. The walls were sky blue and the floor was wood. "I never been in a human home. No pffense,but I would rather be outside right now. I'm not use to this."I said. "Oh! That is fine! can you walk?"Maddie asked.
I jumped off the bed and onto the floor. I tried to stand up, but one of my hind ankle was too weak to hold me up. i toppled over. "You ok Taylor?"Maddie asked. I nodded. "If I can't walk right now,i'll fly"I replied.I started to flap my white featherd wings. In a few secondsi started I started to float off the ground.
"Wow! You look adorable!"Maddie exclaimed. I blushed. Maddie and I went downstairs and out the back door. Her back yard was amazing! There was a bird bath in the middle, There were small patches of flowers and stones. Goibas were racing each other around this one huge rock. Baby Draquas and Aheas were swimming gracefully in a pond.
"It is beautiful out here."I said,calmed by all this beauty in nature. "Thanks!"Maddie thanked. "I want to show you something Taylor."Maddie said. I followed her to her shed. Then she got out a box. Maddie opened it and pulled a crystal charm. It bend at the middle and a spyrill was near the bottom. The top looked like it had a head of a tesuri. in the middle,just right above the bend,was round crystal stones. the whole thing was cream colored and was on a thick strand of silk.
My eyes widened. "I found this earlier today before I took a walk in the Atqueen forest. I think it looked a little like you."Maddie smiled. How could she smile about that? this is one of the most dangerous artifacts on Atquati!
.......
"Hmmmm. A Tesuri. A rare sight to see. Hmmmm. Might be a little injured,but for the price,mua ha ha!"
I woke up the next morning. My ankle seems to be feeling better. I sleptat the end of Maddie's bed. She was still asleep, but I felt wide awake. I fluttered off the bed and landed on the wooden floor. My ankle still felt weak, but it was stronger than it was yesturday. Maddie told em that she used a bottle of Super Healing Potion on my ankle before wrapping it up.
I walked down the stairs and into the ktichen. Her kitchen floor was marlbe-like. the walls were white and it looked like a dream kitchen. I opened the cuboard and I grabbed out a big metal bowl. "Kinda big, but it will do." i said.
I put it on the table and glided to the counter. I stood up, my ankle was starting to bother, but I was hungry. I grabbed the box of cereal, then I glided back to the table and tried to pour myself a bowl. Humans made it look so easy. finally I was going to get the milk now. I opened the fridge, which it was very hard to open for some reason. I grabbed onto the carton of milk with my teeth. I hurried to the table. I sat the milk down so I can relax my jaw.
Then I noticed something cold and wet on my paw. I looked down and saw that the milk was leaking out of the carton fast! "Ah! what do I do! What do I do!" I was freaking out. I looked over and saw paper towels.
I climbed up there and grabbed the whole roll. Then I saw a man peering into the window. He was wearing a white tank top and grean camo cacky shorts. I couldn't see his face because it was under a black hood. He had a black tatoo that looked like half moon half sun. I stared at the man for a long time. then i had just remembered the milk.
I hurried back to the table and snaggeed a paper towel square. i went to the front of the refridgerator and ran out of paper towels. I searched everywhere for more. The carton was still leaking. As I was searching,I was knocking over glass plates and bowls. I was making a complete mess!
.......
I woke up to the sound of crashing glass. I hurried downthe stairs and into the kitchen. I saw glass every whereon the floor covered with milk. I looked on the table and saw a large bowl of cereal and the leaking milk carton. I saw an empty roll of papaer towels next to the fridge. Then finally I saw Taylor, she wasrunning around all over the counters, searching the cabinets.
"Did you do this?" I asked. Taylor turned around quickley. "I didn't mean to! I'm, I'm sorry." taylor started to apologize. "It's fine. It's easy to clean all this up." I said."How? I can't find anymore paper towels?"Taylor asked."I keep a few more in the utility room." I explained.
Taylor and I went to the utility room and grabbed a fresh new roll. "So youre ankle is feeling better?" I asked. "Yes, but it's starting to hurt." taylor replied. "Ok. I'll spray a Super healing potion on youre wound and put new bandaging on it." I said.
We walked back to the kitchen. Taylor handed me the paper towel squares and I wiped up the mess. The carton stopped leaking. I went to the corner and grabbed my brrom. "I saw a weird man peeking in through the wondow this mourning." taylor said. "what did he look like?" I asked. Taylor told me about his tatto and clothing.
"hmmm." I just said. We went back to cleaning. After it was done,we went to the market and bought Creatu food. While we were in the check out line, Taylor got my attention, "There he is!". I looked over and saw him. He was standing by the cooler.
I group of shoppers past by and when they were gone, he was gone. "I can reconize that tatoo anywhere." Taylor growled. We checked out and was starting to walk back home. It was a half an hour later. We were still walking. "I don't like this. I smell danger." Taylor said.
Five minutes later. Our feet wasn't on the ground! We fell in in this giant whole in the ground! It was a couple miles deep. Taylor and I both coughed. There was so much dirt and dust. "Where are we?" I asked. "We're in an underground cavern! I don't think there's suppose to be under ground caverns here. There are under water caverns, but not under ground." Taylor said.
Then we heard a loud voice. "Mua ha ha ha!". "Maddie look out!" Taylor warned. I turned around and all I saw was a metal bat,then darkness.
When I woke back up. Taylor was gone. "Taylor? Taylor?" I yelled. This isn't good. What happened if someone had took her. What happens if he was a hunter. She would die then! Her ankle wasn't healed. She still has trouble walking. "This is my fault." I muttered to myself. " I gotta find her!"
I had that Tesuri! It was right in my hands! Then I got beaten up by another Tesuri? AHH! All well. At least that girl won't get her. i bet she's still stuck in that whole. So later on I can go back and get thta Tesuri I dropped along the Enchanted Springs. MUA HA HA!
........
I feel, so dizzy. So, light headed. But I must get out of,er...., this sack. I tugged and pulled at the leather. I tried to get out, but i felt too weak. I closed my eyes and everything turned black.
"Hello? Hello? Are you ok? Poke Poke". I felt a stick jabbing at my side. I opened my eyes. a Goiba looked down on me with a stick in his hand. He was in his middle age, like I was. He wasn't a natural colored Goiba either. He was an Orchid colored Goiba.
"What happened?" i asked. "I don't know. I just found you like this and poked you with a stick." goiba said. "You're at the enchanted Springs." he also added. "Where's Maddie? No! She must still be in that whole! I gotta go get her!" I freaked.
"Whoa! You can't go out there! it's not safe! You'd think that the Enchanted Springs sounds magical ans safe, but it's not! it's full of predators that can tear us to shreds!" the Goiba explained. "but I have to go get Maddie!" I urged.
"You can get he tomorrow! Until then, I know a good place to stay. follow me. By the way,the name's Kiba. What's yours?" Kiba asked. "Tayloka. But call me Taylor please." i said. "ok. Come on Taylor. Before the hunters get hear!"Kiba urged. " HUNTERS!" I yelled.
..........
I was crying. Taylor was my best friend. the only Tesuri i have ever seen. "Why! Taylor! Where are you?" I shouted out. The ground had tear dropps on it from my heart shattered cry. Then I heard a voice, "Are you ok?". I looked up, and saw another Tesuri. This one was a Sepia color. instead of pink marks like Taylor had, this one had green.
"Taylor was my best friend. I saw her getting tooken away by man." the sepia tesuri said. I sta up and startled the creatu. I guess i shoul'nt make sudden movement that much around Creatu that don't know me. I stood up slowly. The Tesuri backed away slowly.
"Don't worry,I'm nice." I said calmly. The Tesuri was still backing away. I stepped forward slowly. Then my other foot. My right stepped on a wig and cracked. That really started the Tesuri. SHe stopped backing away. instead,She flew off.
"Darn." I said under my breath. I started to think about where a man would take a Tesuri. To the Atqueen forest? I started to walk the path to Atqueen forest. hoping that I'll see Taylor there.
........
We both were now in a hollowed tree stump. Lots of room for both of us. Taylor was inspecting the place carefully. "Don't worry. there's nothing dangerous in here." I asured her. She looked at me suspiciously. That's when i noticed her eyes were blue. She looked cute. The cutest Tesuri I've seen. Verything about her was beautiful, her wings, her hair. Eveything.
"So,do you have anything to eat around here?" she asked. "Uh, yeah. What would you like?" I asked. "Apples?" Taylor suggsted. "plenty of apples. I'll be right back." then I hopped out of the hollow.
I arrived at this tree. My favorite apple tree. As I started to pick apples off the tree,I think of Taylor. She's so pretty. Not because she a Tesuri, not because she's a Cream color, but because she's herself.
Chapter 4
I feel so scared for Taylor. Will she survive out there with an ankle so badly injured? I should've protected her. This is all my fault. I felt a trickling tear running down my cheek.
I was running through Atqueen forest calling out Taylor's name. It was raining hard,storming. Thunder shook the ground and lightning lighted up the entire area. I didn't care, I have to keep searching for Taylor! She's probably starving by now, can't hunt because of her ankle, she couldn't fly in this storm. It would rip her to shreds.
The storm was getting more horrible by the second. I saw a cave and decided to spend the night there, it was too dangerous to journey home. I ran, tripping on hidden stones and geting mself covered in mudd along the way to the cave.
The sky looked dark. It looked evil. There was no sign of sky, just dark,grumpy rain clouds. There was a rocky ledge at the side wall of the cave. I would have to use that for a bed. I sat on the ledge, stairing off into space. Until finally I fell asleep,dreaming of nothing but finding Taylor.
...........
I found it difficult to sleep. The heavy storm outside and Kiba's unpleasuring snores was too much for my ears, but the thing that kepped me up the most was Maddie. I couldn't stop thinking about her. What is she doing right now? Is she out there looking for me? Or is she at her house, not caring a single pickle of me.
I also remember another character that was important to my life. I couldn't remember her well, but I believe that her fur was brown with green details. She seems familiar, but I can't but my paw on it.
I got up and walked to the opening of the hollowed tree stump that Kiba and I were sleeping in. The storm seems so agressive tonight, and I have this creepy feeling of danger. I looked back behind my shoulder to Kiba. He looked kinda cute when he's sleeping. Not meaning anything between us ofcourse.
I looked back outside. I think I see something. Something out there in the shadows. Lightning flashed,and lighted up the place. And there, I saw a indigo Veram. it's eyes met mine. It's eyes were full of hunger, and mine was full of fear. The Veram started walking towards the stump. I ruched back to Kiba.
"Kiba! Wake up! There's a Veram outside!" I urged him to wake up. "Oh,mom. It's Saturday." Kiba snorted in his sleep. Sorry, but that sounded pathetic on a dangerous scene like this. "Kiba!" I yelled. "Whoa! What?" he asked. I pointed to the Veram outside, which was now atleast a half a yard away. "What is a Veram doing here?" Kiba asked. "I don't know. Do you know anyway out of this stump though!?" I asked. He nodded.
We ran to the back of the stump. He leaned his back onto a rock. "You can help!" he said. Kiba lifted his legs and started kicking the wall. I now understoud what he was was doing. I followed his lead and started ramming into the wall.
The Veram was only a few feet away when the wall gave out. We ran out of the stump. The Veram saw and followed us. The Veram was fast, so we had to run with all our might. The rain was pouring down on me. My fur was getting too soaked and heavy for me to carry.
"Taylor! We can hide in that tree!" Kiba pointed to a tree on my right. I nodded and we both ran straight towards the tree. The Veram was hot on our tails. We climbed the tree and into a hollowed out whole. The Veram tryed to climb up, but the storm wouldn't let it. It fell down onto the ground with a thud.
"We won!" Kiba celebrated. He danced around in the small whole. I looked down at the Veram. I should feel excited, but I don't. I actually feel guilty. The Veram looked like it was in pain. It reminded me of when I was in that bear trap. I could imagin the veram was me, and the tree and the storm was a trap. How I got tricked and entered the trap, just the same way how the Veram got tricked.
I started to climb out of the whole and onto the tree. "What are you doing?" Kiba yelled after me. I arrived at the ground. The Veram was moaning. "Are you ok?" I asked. The Veram lifted up it's head and stared at me. "Taylor! Are you out of your mind?!" Kiba yelled.
I was still staring at the Veram. It had beautiful yellow eyes. I was off guard. I couldn't think straight. Than the next thing I knew, i was in midair! I was being carried away by the Veram! "tayyyyylorrrrrr!"Kiba shouted. I slowly watched the tree get smaller and smaller. Kiba looked so scared down there. I looked up and the Veram smiled at me. I could have sworn it winked at me too?
......
"Taylor!" i yelled. What was she thinking! Running off to the Veram! No, but I gotta save her. I'm not gonna let that Verma eat her without a fight! "Don't worry taylor! I'll be there to save you, if I'm not too late." I said, then I darted off. Jumping over logs and running as fast as I can to catch up with the Veram. No one takes the girl of my dreams, no one.
Chapter 5
........
I opened my eyes. The place was soft. Dark, but soft. i sat up and realized that I was on a bed made of straw,leaves, and flowers. I looked up and saw the Veram. I was panick-stricken. I didn't know what to do! Then I saw something at the bottom of my eye. I looked down toward his paws and saw a splinter.
The Veram seemed to be growling with pain. I saw a trickle of blood on his indigo colored fur. It was certain that the blood came from the wound caused by the splinter. I walked up to the Veram slowly. He eyed me suspiciously as I made my way to his paw. when I got close to him, he growled at me and bared his sharp teeth.
I know what that means. It emans 'back off. you're getting too close.' and 'you're lucky i havn't aten by now. so back off!'. I stepped a few steps back,but I wanted to help this Veram, and I was determined to do it. No matter what he says.
I sniffed the splinter and picked it out. "Ragh!" the Veram growled. "Sorry. Atleast i got the splinter out!" I said. I showed him the splinter. He stared at me and the splinter. Then he lifted his paw and saw the blood. he stared back at me. "We can get the blood easily washed off." I asured him.
He walked towards me. I could hear the twigs and rocks being crushed under his paws. His yellow eyes met mine. Everytime our eyes meet, I can't think straight. I feel so light headed. His eyes, they match his dreamy look. his handsome posture.
"um, thanks for the, er, getting rid of the splinter for me. I was right. You are different." he said. His voice was handsome. so soft,creamy. I tryed not to look in his eyes. "What do you mean?" i asked. "I mean that, everytime a smaller creatu sees me, they run. Afraid of being eaten by me. when you came back down for me, it felt like that you were different from the others." he explained. "Why did you grab me? And where am I?" I asked. I just want to keep hearing is voice.
"You're in my territory. I brought you hear because, I get lonely. I brought you hear in first thought of food, but, I found other things to satisfy me." He said. the Veram looked away,as if he rememberes it like it was the time of his life. Then he turned his attention back to me. "My name is Creetori. What is yours?" he asked. "Tayloka, but please, call me Taylor. I like it better." I explained.
Creetori smiled at me. "i like that name. I think it's very beautiful. Do you like free flights?" Creetori asked. I blushed. He thought my name was beautiful! "Um, yeah." I said. Creetori nodded his head towards the exit, which leaves were hanging from. We exit out of the tree room we were just in.
We jumped off this branch and began to fly. I thought I would be in Reiflam, but I was wrong. There were strams and rivers. Water creatus splashing. "I thought Verams lived in Reiflam?" I asked. "Last time I checked, but not me! I prefer this. It has a good hunt, and it is beautiful like you." Creetori explained. I blushed again. He was really sweet.
......
"Must, keep, going!" I told myself. I spent all night trying to find Taylor and that Veram. What happens if i was too late and we already ate Taylor? I tried to get that thought out of my head.
I continued jamoing over rocks and logs when I heard something. "I hope I find Taylor soon. We really need to get back to the pack!". I looked over towards the bushes. A sepia colored tesuri came into sight.
She looked like Taylor, only her fur was brown with green details instead of pink. "You're looking for Taylor?" i asked. She nodded. "I am too,but a Veram took her and now I'm trying to find it's nest." i said. "That's terrible! what direction did the Veram go?" she asked. "That way." i replied and pointed toward the west. "C'mon then!" she said.
then we started running together. "What is your name?" the Tesuri asked. "Kiba! What is yours?" I asked. "Breeze!" She replied. Ok, i have a new partner named Breeze, and we are both off to rescue Taylor.
Chapter 6
Wow..... this is so amazing. I had the time of my life! Creetori took me to this magical spot and I could hear the nature singing and creating soothing sounds, next he took me into town and we had an amazing meal of italian food. Then last, we flew to this cliff and we both stared at the moon together.
It was now mourning, I was curled up by Creetori's side. "Good mourning beautiful. Did you have a good night's sleep?" he asked me. I smiled at him. I loved the way his eyes glittered. "Yes, I did. Last night was so much fun!" I squealed.
Creetori chuckled and sat up. I too sat up, and just realized that where I was sleeping, was beatiful. It was a hollow filled with wonderous things. There was a bed of straw and a bed of leaves and flowers next to it. I walked over toward this thing. It looked like wind fans that humans have in their yard.
I made that when I was a pup. i was curious and allways played with the human's fans. So I decided to make my own. You can play with it anytime you want." Creetori explained.
"Thanks..... but maybe later." I smiled. We exit out of the hollow. I have to admit, the scenery was a lot more beautiful during the daytime. The birds were beautifully singing, the streams was glittering in the sunlight, it was beautiful.
I stared at Creetori. He was handsome. He was, amazing. Creetori's so nice, I wish Kiba could've meet him. Kiba... I totally forgot! "Creetori, um, you know that Goiba that I was with the other night. Could I..." I started to ask, but Creetori put his paw up. " Hold on, I hear something." he said.
I geard it too. It was comming from the bushes down below on my left.
.............
"We're here breeze! We're here!" I said. "Shhh. I see Taylor with that Veram!" she said. Taylor and the Veram was stairing down at us. "Let Taylor go you beast!" I yelled. "Why? We're having so much fun!" the Veram yelled back.
"C'mon Kiba. I'll carry you up there so we can talk to them face to face." Breeze said. She started to flutter off the ground. Then she picked me up with her paws and we started to fly toward the tree branch where the Veram was keeping Taylor hostage.
We landed on the branch and I started to walk violently towards the Veram. " You let her go! Or i'll swear I'll...." I got interupted by taylor.
"Kiba, you don't understand." Taylor said. "It's all right Taylor! We got this under control!" I asured her. I looked back towards the veram. He looked mad.
.......
"Are you ok Taylor?" I asked. "Yes, I'm fine..... er... who are you and WHY THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS HEAR!" Taylor replied back. "You honestly don't remember me?" I asked her. Tears began to water my eyes. I couldn't believe it. My best friend didn't remember me?
"I'm Breeze. Remember? You're best friend? We've been together ever since we were pups." I explained. She shook her head. "Get away from me! I didn't even scratch her!" I heard the Veram yell. I looked over towards Kiba and the Veram.
"Kiba!" Taylor yelled. Kiba was walking the Veram towards the end of the branch. Down below were some really pointy rocks. "Don't ever touch her again! You hear me! Why I otta...." Kiba mumbled. "Ok Kiba! That's enough!" I shouted.
Kiba was still moving. It was too late now. The Veram started to loose it's balance. I heard a flap of wings. I looked over to hwere Taylor was sitting. She was gone.
.........
That's it. I completely lost my balance. I was falling. then I felt paws on my shoulders. I looked up and saw Taylor carrying me back up to the branch. we landed near the entrance of the hollow. "Are you out of your mind Kiba! You could've killed him!" she yelled.
"He should get a punishment after what he did to you!" Kiba yelled back. " Did what to me, exactley? Let me have a place to stay, taking me out to dinner every night, or even being kind to me! Huh! What did he do?" Taylor lost her temper. I looked back over to Kiba, he looked totally mad, but he couldn't findt the right words to say.
Taylor walked over to me. "You okay?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, thank you for saving my life back there." I said. She nodded. breeze walked toward Taylor. "Oklay, now that I've found you, we can return back to our pack." Breeze said.
........
"What? I can't. I don't even know you. Plus, I have a human worrying about me! And Creetori, I can't leave him." I panicked. "Who?" Breeze asked. "Me." Creetori said.
Kiba looked angry when I said Creetori's name. "Look, guys, I know this is a weird moment for us, but can we talk about this inside? It's getting a litte chilly out here. And even though Kiba tried to kill me, he doesn't have any fur, so I don't want him to get sick out here." Creetori anounced. "See Kiba! He cares about you." I said. Kiba mumbled in frustration.
Chapter 7
I am so mad right now. All I did was try to save Taylor and I get yelled at?! I turn my head towards Taylor, Breeze, and grrrr, Creetori. All the things that Taylor said that he had done to her sounded like romantic things.
I looked over towards the stupid Veram. He was staring at Taylor????? That's it, I couldn't take it any more. If Taylor is happy here, then fine, I'm leaving! After I eat some apples. Or maybe tomorrow mourning. Yes tommorrow mourning, I shall leave.
Breeze started to walk towards me. "You ok Kiba?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." I replied. "It was crazy out there. I guess we all just lost our temper." Breeze said. I nodded. I looked back towards Taylor and Creetori. They were smiling, laughing, and having a good time, like none of this ever happened!
"Breeze, do you think taylor likes Creetori?" I asked. She shrugged. "I mean, what does he have that I don't have? He has thick indigo fur," I began. "That's one thing." Breeze said. She smiled, but I frowned. "He has wings, he has good looks, he practically has everything!" I said. "That's not true. He doesn't have your awesomness." Breeze said. It was clear that she was trying to chear me up.
"I guess I took Taylor I litte too seriously. I mean, I admitt, I like her." I said. "You don't say?" Breeze said. I rolled my eyes. "Do you think I should tell Taylor how I feel?" I asked her. She shrugged. "I don't see why not?" she replied.
I stood up and walk towards the exit of the hollow. "But won't that ruin our friendship? I mean, she's with Creetori." I explained. "Well we don't know that yet. They could be just friends." Breeze said. I nodded. I went back to where I was standing and laid down. "I'm going to get some sleep. See ya in the mourning Breeze. YAWWWN!" I yawned. Then I fell fast asleep.
.........
I kept smiling at Taylor. She's so beautiful. I looked over towards Breeze. She was watching Kiba sleep. Kiba's sleeping in the middle of the day? All well, I'm not a Goiba, I'll never understand. "I don't know what to do Creetori." Taylor said. I looked back towards Taylor. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I mean that, I don't know if I should go or not. Breeze wants me to rejoin the pack, which I don't know of. Kiba's mad at me, I have a human looking for me, and you. I don't know."Taylor said. I could tell that she was under a lot of stress.
"Here, I know a place that will take all your worries away." I said. Taylor looked up at me. "We can take Breeze along." I nodded towards Breeze. Breeze looks up at both of us. Taylor nodded.
Taylor, breeze, and I went through the exit of the hollow and onto the branch. Breeze flew off the bench first, then Taylor, then I. It took a couple miles and we landed at a nearby waterfall. "Is this the place?" breeze asked. I shook my heaad. I walked under the waterfall. I looked behind me and the two followed.
"This is beatiful! Very beautiful!"Taylor said. She was right. It was about time of dusk, and the fireflies were out shining their lights. The faint windy breeze made the dog Wood and other blossom trees gently move their leaves. Fish were swimming in a nearby pond and river. There were daisies and roses growing in the bushes. it was beautiful.
I looked over and saw breeze drinking water out of a pond. taylor was laying down, enjoying the scenery. I went and layed down next to her. She put her head on my shoulder. When Breeze was done taking a drink, she turned around and looked shocked. Taylor and I laughed. Breeze shook her head and went to the river to catch some fish.
"You know, I felt very lonely until I met you. And well, I like you Taylor, and not just as a friend." I said to Taylor. She looked at me and smiled. It was clear that she was thinking the same thing. I went close to her face. I kissed her cheak. She blushed. "I never met a Veram like you, Creetori. I would imagined that verams would be kinda evil or something. No offense." Taylor said. "None takin. Most Verams are rough like that." I said. "But you're different." She finished. We both smiled.
........
I woke up. I didn't see Taylor, Breeze or Creetori any where. They're probably out catching food. I stood up and walked outside onto the branch. It was a nice night. I guess I was a little rough on Creetori. I climbed of the branch and climbed onto the tree. When I reached the ground, I decided to search for the others.
I went in the direction that the branch was pointing to. Maybe they were near that waterfall Breeze and I pasted along the way here. I decided to run. I want to reach them as soon as possible. I want to tell Taylor how I feel.
.........
"Taylor? Taylor?". I woke up to the sound of my name. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Breeze standing over me. "What is it?" I asked her. "Kiba's here, and he's not happy." she replied. I sat up and saw Kiba sitting on a large rock. Then I looked next to me. Creetori was still sleeping, but his paw was on top of mine.
I looked back over to Kiba again. "What is it?" I asked. Kiba got off the rock and walked over to where I am laying. "Let go of his paw, and come with me." he whispered.
I slipped my paw out from under his. Then I followed Kiba to the waterfall. We went through it and escaped from the beautiful scenery. He sat down and a rock and I sat down an another rock across from it. "I need to tell you something." Kiba began. I nodded. "The reason I got like that with Creetori, was because I um, how do I put this? Um, care about you."Kiba said. "yeah, and I care about you too?" I said back.
"No. Not care as in a friend. I mean care as in, look I like you ok? I think you're pretty and intelligent and awesome." Kiba bowed his head. "Oh." I feel so guilty now. Here I am, loving on Creetori, and all this time Kiba liked me? "Taylor? Taylor please tell me that you're here!" I heard a familiar voice call.
I turned my head. I couldn't see who it was, but I bet I know who it is! I started running towards the figure. "Taylor!" she said and started running towards me, like I was to her. She came into focus, it was Maddie! I jumped in her arms. Breeze,Creetori, and Kiba walked towards Maddie. "Don't worry guys! Maddie's my friend!" I assured them.
I jumped out of her arms and introduced my friends to her. "Nice to meet you all!" she said. Kiba and Creetori greeted Maddie, and Breeze didn't. "What's wrong Breeze?" I asked. "Taylor can I speak with you for just a moment?" Breeze asked. I nodded.
I followed Breeze to the waterfall. "We shouldn't be around humans! We need to get back to our pack!" Breeze explained. "Ha ha. You're a poet and didn't know it!" I joked. "This is serious Taylor! We need to go back. So we need to say good bye to Kiba, Creetori, and that girl!" she said. I didn't even know what she was talking about.
"Look, I don't know you. Yeah, you seem familiar to me, but I don't know you. I didn't even know I had a pack!" I exclaimed. "Well you do, so please come! We shouldn't even be around humans! No Creatu should!" She said. I shook my head.
Chapter 8
I wonder what Taylor and that other Tesuri is talking about ovwer there. Taylor's friends are really nice. Creetori keeps talking about the scenery in the waterfall, and Kiba keeps hopping around my legs. "So how long did you know Taylor?" Kiba asked. "Um, a couple days I guess." I said. Kiba smiled. "so how did you guys meet Taylor?" I asked. "I found her in a sack and we both found a place to spend the night!" Kiba said. "I attacked Kiba and Taylor, and took Taylor to my hollow. There she helped my pain from a splinter and we became friends." Creetori explained. The look on Creetori's face tells me that him and Taylor are becomming more than friends.
CRACK! That sounds sounded like a gunshot. "I'll get that Tesuri, if it's the last thing I do!" I heard a voice say. "Run guys! I think I hunter is comming!" I said. Kiba had a panick look on fis face. "Come! Behind the waterfall!" Creetori said. We approached a waterfall. "What's going on?" taylor asked. "Hunters. We're going behind the waterfall! Hurry!" Creetori said.
We all went behind the waterfall. I kept a look out for the hunter. I saw him in the middle of the feild on the other side of the waterfall. It was the same hunter that Taylor was talking about, and the same hunter in the grocery store! " Guys, stay down! Kepp quiet!" I warned. I looked behind my shoulder and saw that all my friends were crammed in this small rocky den.
I looked back towards the hunter. He was close, too close to the waterfall.
.............
I know that Tesuri is some where around here, I've been following her tracks. I can also smell her. Don't ask, I just have that talent. "Bzzzz. Keith, come in Keith. This is Rick, come in Keith." My partner called from the walkie-talkie. I got it from my belt. "What do you want Rick? Have you captured that Sepia tesuri yet?" I asked.
"Um, right. About that." Rick stuttered. "Rick! The boss is counting on us! He wants atleast one rare Creatu! He'll have our guts if we don't bring one in by the end of this week!" I yelled into the talking device. "And don't call me Keith! It's Bandit Keith!" I corrected. "Yes, Bandit Keith." Rick sighed.
I growled. I put the walkie-talkie back on my belt. I reached to the other side on my belt and grabbed my Heat Seaker Bonoculers. I put them up to my eyes. There was no figures that looked like Creatus. I looked over by the waterfall. There, I see something. Several somethings at that.
I see, a human figure, and several little Creatus under some none living things, possibly rocks. I grinned. I put the Bonoculers back on my belt. I moved towards the waterfall.
.......
"He's comming!" I heard Maddie say. I looked at Creetori. He told me one night that what ever happens, he would always be here to protect me. I hope he's right. Then I noticed a tear trickling down on his handsome indigo fur. Why is he crying? "You all right?" I asked him. He gave me a worried, and sad look. I felt guilty, like something in his past was comming back to him.
"I knew we should of headed back to the pack. Now we're all in trouble!" breeze said. I looked over towards Kiba. He was tucked away in his shell, rocking back and forth. I looked back otwards the waterfall. I started to cry. This was all my fault. I was the one who put all of my friends in danger.
Maddie backed away from the waterfall. She started running towards a large bush. She saw me and made a 'Hide! Stay under there! Don't make a peep!' motion with her hands. I back up further under the rock.
The hunter appeared from behind the waterfall. He was now in this landscape. All the beauty seams to fase away when I bad person enters.He but this weird thing up to his eyes. He grinned and was walking fast towards the rock. I looked over towards Maddie for help. She looked scared, panich stricken. Her eyes were all watery.
The Hunter was right in front of the rock now. His feet her inches from my snout. No one made any movement, no one made any sound. We thought that we would all be safe, if we just kept still, but we were wrong.
