꧁Forest Girl꧂ // Aonung

꧁4꧂

I got woken up by Aonung. „Anavari?" I heard his voice as he shook me. I opened my eyes, Arokh was already awake. Aonung smiled and sat down.

Arokh put up his wing and and I sat up, leaning against him. Aonung handed me some Lionberrys and a Delta tree leave. We use delta tree leaves to fill it up with water.

„I figured you'd like to eat something before I show you how to hunt." He said to me and I nod. I offered him a Lionberry and he happily accepted it.

We both sat there and ate our berrys as I took a sip of water. I saw my Mother walking towards us. „ good morning, my child." She said with a smile. „Morning mom." I said as I looked up at her.

She fed Arokh with some sari seeds. „Just wanted to make sure that you eat but I see somebody already is taking care of you." She said as she looked at Aonung.

She winked at me before walking off and I rolled my eyes, now she made it awkward! „Sorry." I mumbled. I heard him chuckle, his laugh is so sweet and pure.

„It's fine." He said. „Do you always want to sleep out here?" He asked me. I shrug my shoulders as I bit inside my berry. „As long as he feels lonely." I said to Aonung.

„I think he scares some of the Metkayina." He said to me and I wrinkled my eyebrows. „I don't care, he needs me." I said as I took my last bite.

I drank my water and stood up „So, let's go hunt." I said to him. He smiled as he stood up „easy there." He said. I kneeled down to Arokh „Fly away, I do not trust the Metkayinas." I said to him before we walked away.

I noticed some Metkayina looking at me and whispering. Just cause my ikran is cooler than them? Aonung led me inside the water and it went to my stomach.

„I'll start with the basics." He said. „Here take this." He handed me a bow likely weapon. He then pointed at a fish „ aim on the fish." He told me and I did as he told me to.

He stood himself behind me and put a hand on my stomach. „Breathe in." He said as he put pressure on my stomach, his voice was so calm and quiet.

It felt like a brush on my skin. With his other hand he put my arms up and rested his chin on my shoulder. I looked at him and we connected eyes „focus on the fish." He whispered.

I looked at the fish and focused, like he told me to. „Now, if you are sure that you will hit him, press there." He quietly said as he pointed at a button like thing.

I nod and his hand slid down from my stomach and it rested on my hip. My heart began beating faster „Breathe in." he mumbled and I did. „Now shoot." He said and I pressed the button.

I missed the fish. Now that's embarrassing. Aonung slowly got away from me „Let a professional show you how to do it." He said, very proudly and I rolled my eyes.

He grabbed the arrow and put it back inside. I looked at a fish and without hesitation he shot and got him. My jaw dropped, he does it like it's nothing.

He grabbed the fish and put it down on the sand. „Wanna try again?" He asked and I nod. He again put the arrow back in and handed it to me.

Suddenly he grabbed my hand and led me a few meters away where more fishes swam around. Aonung stood behind my and put his arms around mine.

Goosebumps were brushing over my body and I held my breath. I tilted my head to the side and looked up at him. He is so tall. I was hypnotized by his eyes.

I looked into them and he looked into mine. We just stared into each other's eyes, into the windows to our soul. His window is clean, I can see everything.
