The Moon Loved Her

Chapter Six

I am laying on a big bed. I don't know where I am. My name is Kira but they call me Silvia.

I have two brothers who are not my brothers and an adoptive father. This is all I know.

For how long have I been here?

Why am I so tall? Who am I now?

I got out of the bed and fell on the floor. My legs were weak. I stood up again and tried to walk slowly.

I got to the mirror. What I saw shocked me. I was no longer twelve. I looked like a young woman.

A feminine body, a pretty face. I looked haggard. I went to the bathroom. I had a cold bath and dressed in a grey linen dress that was in the closet. It seemed like the only dress that would fit me.

I wanted to go out of this bedroom. I went to the library. A big room with lots of bookshelves and even more books.

I felt like I have been here before. I went to the very last bookshelf and read everything. The books were so easy to read that I felt like I have read them before.

After finishing all the books I was about to go hunt. At the entrance of the library I met a very handsome young man.

He had grey eyes and Auburn hair. He was tall with a nice big frame. Who could he be? He seemed surprised. Did he perhaps know me?

"Hello Sir."

" Silvia!?"

" Do you know me?"

" You don't remember?!"

"Should I?"

" Nevermind..."

"Well... Can you tell me which direction is the forest?"

" Why?"

"Because I think that I have to go there."

" It's behind the mansion..."

" I see... Thank you sir!"

"..."

This was the first time I saw such a handsome man. He was kind too.

How did he know me?

We must have not been so close since he called me Silvia. I went to the back side of the mansion and saw a wall.

I climbed over the wall and reached at the forest. I felt like I wanted to run through the forest and feel the wind on my skin.

Speth appeared. He was now a big white tiger. I could even ride him. I got on his back and let him lead me to amazing places. Speth ran between trees and bushes. I could hear the wind and feel a light breeze on my skin.

For how long was I asleep?

When I woke up I was already a young woman and Speth became an adult tiger.

As we passed through trees, bushes and rocks I suddenly felt hungry. I took out my sword and and yelled enthusiastically

"let's hunt"

I killed two wild boars with three strikes and then roasted our feast in a big fire. Speth and I ate our fill and gave the rest of the meat to the wild animals.

After two hours I trained in swormanship because my skills had become rusty.

As I was swinging my sword, I sensed someone coming from behind. That person tried to hide the sound of his steps but I could still sense him easily.

When he was close enough I turned around immediately and placed the blade of my sword right beside his neck.
He seemed surprised. I let my gaze meet his and noticed that he was quite handsome too.
