My Paradise (Wolf's Rain Fan-Fic)

Chapter 38

Kiba's P.O.V.

I walked up a grass covered hill, but stop. Why's she following me? She starts walking up to me. "Don't follow me." I say. "But why not?" she asks. "Aren't you terrified of me?" I ask giving her a side glance. "Not a bit." she says. "I'm a wolf you know." I say. "Well isn't that obvious silly?" she asks with a smile. I don't answer and keep walking. When I don't hear her foot steps anymore, my eyes widen, and I turn back the way I came. She's gone... I look to my left and right, but still no sign of her. Where is she? I hear laughing behind me and turn quickly. She stood on the top of the hill smiling. How did she... I run up next to her, looking at the awesome view of this place. Game was everywhere, there was a small lake, birds sung and flew through the sky, forest was everywhere. Whoa... There were mountains in the distance and the breeze was fresh. Ducks swam through the water quacking while the many types of game grazed on the soft Green grass. "Is this...Paradise?" I ask Myu. "Paradise?" she asks. "A place where you can be free, I've been searching for it my whole life." I say. "If that's what you think it is, then it must be. This is a Paradise made just for you." she says. She turns and walks the opposite direction. I turn towards her. She takes off running in her Lynx form and I chase after her. She takes a turn and I pounce on her as a human with eyes widened. She widens hers as well being a human. I try to get off of her, but she grabs my wrist. "Kiba...will you stay with me here forever?" she asks hopeful. I pull her up by the wrist she took. "If this really is your Paradise, will you stay with me like this?" she asks. "You and I...we're different species." I say. "But...I can sense your feelings, and you can sense mine...are you scared?" she asks. "I'm not scared...of anything." I say and look towards the view of Paradise. "Not even the thought of dying scares me. Since I was born, death's been nipping at my heels. It's as if my very birth, had called it there." I say and am pulled into a flashback.

Flashback

Fire was everywhere, the Lunar flowers that grew in the Pack territory, were all burning from flames. Howls were heard all through the territory. An Airship flew above our territory slowly, the whole night, I had heard the pained and scared howls of my pack as they all were consumed by the fire. By morning, the entire pack area was nothing but ashes and burnt trees. I lay in the shelter my mother had put me in, the smoke had knocked me unconscious. I didn't wake until the sound of footprints came. Hands encircled my small body, I growl and snap at the human in Native clothing, when that doesn't phase him, I bite into his arm. His eyes widen and he smiles as he lifts me to face level with him. Soon he brings me to his home. He covers me in a small blanket. He brought me up until I left. During that time, I aided him in hunting. "Kiba, the White soul. Do you wish to speak with me?" he asks. 'Why did I survive? I've asked myself that a hundred times. There must be some reason for me to be here, but what is it? I keep hearing this voice...from deep within me, it says I can no longer stay here...' I say as a wolf to the Native at my side. "The time has come, for you to set out on a journey." he says. I look at him. "You did not survive on your own. The flowers protected you and the land spared your life. Listen well to the words of your soul. Your destiny must lay in a different place than this." he says. "A different place?" I ask. "You must leave this land and never look back." he says. So I left, I ran in the direction my heart took me. I spent every waking moment searching for it. For where I'm meant to be.

Flashback ends

I lay on my back atop the grass. Myu swipes a hair out of my face gently. "So strange..." I say to myself. "Hm?" she asks. "Being able to talk about everything that's happened to me. I guess I've really never opened up to anyone before. Not to my friends or even Cheza. But the first time in my entire life, I'm finally at peace." I say and close my eyes. "It's here, this is Paradise, it must be." I say but do not notice the look of sadness in Myu's eyes.
