Long Story Short..

I saw an angel

I had a long day. Its hard out in the wild where there's no protection. There's no protection from predators for us prey. Yet somehow we still manage to survive. I'm a cow. My name is Harper! Sadly cows are one of the most preyed upon animals in the animal kingdom. I was walking around my normal field when I saw a lake! Water! Its been a while since the last rain so this lake was an incredible find. I quickly dashed over to the lake and saw a duck sitting atop the water. 

??? Pov:

A cow? I haven't seen a cow in quite some time. Hes starring right at me.. he has dark skin with white patches all over! Hes got dark and fluffy hair! His hair is quite long actually.. his clothes look like those of a crow. I've never seen a cow just like him before. Hes very tall and his gaze on me is intimating. Have I bothered him? Shall I move out of his way..? I try to swim further into the lake and away from the mysterious cow but my body will not move. I'm to focused on the sight in front of me..! His horns look almost like their glowing as the sun shines down and reflects upon them. His ears slightly flick, like hes awaiting my voice. I don't wish to speak to him. After all its been quiet the long while since I've spoken to anyone. I stay silent and stare back at him. Trying to intimidate him away. 

Harpers POV: 

I stare at the duck, waiting for him to speak, but he never does. He stares back at me like hes asking me to leave. I don't want to leave. I've never seen a duck before! I've only heard about them from other cows. Hes got short blonde hair and huge wings reaches off his arms. Hes got tons of freckles on his face and a very pastel aesthetic. His outfit seems like one that a dove or sparrow would wear. Not a duck. He stares at me and his expression changes to one that looks annoyed. I do not walk away. I wish to speak to this duck! If he will not speak to me, I will speak to him. 

"uhm... Hello..! I'm Harper!! Who are you?"

???? POV:
He spoke. The cow spoke! Huh.. he has a nice voice.. its very deep and yet, not raspy. Should I reply? 

"...."

"Hello? Do you have a name..? Can you speak?"

"I can speak. I'm Ahiru.. what is a cow like you doing over by the lakes?"

I may have sounded a little rude, but I wanted him to leave me alone! This lake was so calm and quiet without other species knowing about it. 

"oh! I was just wandering around.. and I saw a lake! I came here and I saw you!"

Harpers POV: 

This duck seems a little annoyed that I'm here, but maybe once he realizes I'm not here to harm him, we could be friends! 

"Please leave."

oh.. I guess Ahiru does want me gone.. but I will not end my journey! 

"fine but I will make it my goal for us to become friends!!!"

"right..."

No ones POV:

Harper turns away and begins his walk back to his well known field. As he walks, Ahiru doesn't take his eyes off of him. 

Harper continues to return to the lake everyday. He talks to Ahiru and Ahiru begins to warm up to Harper. They talk for hours, each day the time they speak gets longer. The 2 animals become good friends and continue to meet everyday. Ahiru begins to let down the walls that he built all so high to protect himself. Ahiru, who trusts no one, begins to trust Harper. Harper begins to fall in love with Ahiru. They both get very excited when the sun is at the correct point in the sky for their daily meet. Sometimes when they meet, Harper stays near that pond all night! It annoys the other animals around the area. All the talking and noise all night long. But Harper and Ahiru don't care. They continue to talk and meet. Some nights, harper would return to the field with the other cows for days. He would leave without saying a word and return 2 or even 3 full days later. Ahiru has never had a friend as close as he hold Harper. Some days, Harper gets Ahiru to come out of the lakes and follow hi to the fields. They run around and play in the morning mist for hours until they cant run around anymore. Even then, they would lay down in the fields next to each other and stare at the skies and the stars until they both fell asleep.
