New life in the Beast World

20.

I rode on Bart to reach the woods quicker. I had my lunch so it would be ok to stay with Sireth until dinner time.We can just find some fruits if I'm hungry. We came to the clearing in no time, but there were no one there. I tried to even call his name aloud, but to no avail.

"Looks like the feral left. Let's head back Lia."

I looked around frowning. Did he really left? Is it because I didn't came yesterday? I bite on my lower lip a little disappointed and sad.

"Let's wait for a bit. We came all the way here so we can just sit and rest a little."

Maybe he went hunt a meal for himself. It's not like we decided on a specific time eather. Yes, let's not overthink. That would only lead to depression. I went to the small streamand sat on a rock. There is only one thing that can help me calm down. I started to sing.

There's a fire inside me. Waiting for somethingWaiting for something. Burning uncontrollablyIf I do nothingIf I do nothing. I'm waiting for you. You're waiting for me. Afraid of what we'll find. If we let words run free. You got me stuck in a daze. You wondering what not to say. I am not thinking clearly. When you're saying my name. I look you deep in the eye. You wonder if I will stay. Until the heat of the moment. Takes us away. Cannot hide you spark my flame. Whether you feed it or not. We both play the waiting game. No one will win in the end. I'm waiting for you. You're waiting for me. Afraid of what we'll findIf we let words run free. You got me stuck in a daze. You're wondering what not to say. I am not thinking clearly. When you're saying my name. I look you deep in the eye. You wonder if I will stay. Until the heat of the moment. Takes us away. Takes us away. You got me stuck in a daze. You're wondering what not to say. I am not thinking clearly. When you're saying my name. I look you deep in the eye. You wonder if I will stay. Until the heat of the moment. Takes us away

I breathed out the last words. Maybe I should go back. Help Winston and Bart with somethi...

"You came back."

I turned my head in the direction the voice came from and it was Sireth. I heaved a sigh of relief and run to him. When I was close enough I jumped at him and he catched me without any effort, and pulled me close to his chest. I wrapped my hands around his neck and hugged him tight as well.

"I thought that you left, when I couldn't find you."

I almost sobbed. Ok I guess it got to me more than I thought.

"I wouldn't leave without you. I just went to pick you up from the city, when I heard you singing."

Sireth told me while running his hand through my hair. Wait, he went to pick me up?! I pulled away from him so I could see his face.

"You can't go to the city, silly! They would hurt you! And I'm sorry I couldn't come yesterday. I needed ehm time to recover."
