part 18

Akaia awoke to the blinding sun shining through the canopy above them. She blinked a few times allowing her eyes to adjust as she turned her head looking behind her.

Mak'korro was laying beside her with is arm around her wrapped around her midsection. She turned in his arms so she was now facing his body.

Akaia observed the boy, watching how his ears would twitch every now and then. She thought it was adorable.

The girl was content in his arms, she felt safe.

Mak'korro's eyes suddenly flicked open. She saw how his eyebrow muscles pulled wincing from the sunlight, just as she had done a few minutes prior.

His eyes eventually fell onto her as a tired grin covered his face.

"Good morning." He said with a raspy voice, pulling her towards his chest. The girl giggled at the boy as she rested her head on his chest.

"Morning." Her voice equally as raspy. They laid together for a few minutes in comfortable silence as they soaked in each other's presence.

"We should probably get going soon Mak'korro, our parents are probably going crazy." The girl said reluctantly as the boy groaned.

Akaia wiggled out of his grip as she stood before him stretching her body.

Once Akaia was finished with her stretch she extended her hand out towards the boy. Mak'korro looked towards her hand before taking it and letting her help him up.

"My parents are going to kill me." Akaia said with a sigh as Mak'korro stood beside her.

"If it makes you feel any better so will mine." He said smiling at the girl.

"We will both be dead together then." The girl said with a laugh as they began to walked back to the shore.

Akaia could already hear the lecture she was going to receive from her parents, mainly Jake. She was already on thin ice with him but now she has broken that ice. She had stayed out all night with a boy.

After a few minutes they had arrived at the shore. Akaia stood behind Mak'korro as the boy began to summon an Ilu. The Ilu that dropped them off yesterday appeared within a few seconds.

The two wasted no time mounting the creature and descending into the water.

Once they had arrived at the Metkayina village, Mak'korro had offered to walk her home and Akaia had accepted. They walked in comfortable silence, hand in hand as they approached the home.

Loud conversation inside the marui made both of their ears twitch as they could hear both of their parents. The two looked towards each other with concern before reluctantly walking inside.

The conversation stopped instantly as the four adults turned their heads toward the two. A awkward silence filled the air before Tonowari spoke up.

"Mak'korro, where have you been boy." He said with a hiss, stepping towards his son.

Mak'korro's ears layed flat on his head as he maintained eye contact with his father. Ronal walked from behind Tonowari, circling the two young adults.

Akaia's eyes flickered towards her parents as Neytiri stepped towards her with a furious look in her eye. Grabbing her elbow and pulling her away from Mak'korro ripping their entwined hands apart.

"Mak'korro answer me now son." The Olo'eyktan asked in a cold tone. Ronal stopped observing the two teens before pulling a thin looking wooden needle from her necklace. She pricked him in the chest with it making him wince slightly.
