Chapter 33

Poking her head out of the doorway Rosa scanned her surroundings, she couldnt see any sign of the others hammocks or them themselves. Beginning to panick slightly when she recalled that she didn’t even know if it was them that had fond her, it could have been anyone she began to hyperventialte, scolidng her mind to relax and not loose concentration she took a step out of her home, she felt like a fool as she took timid hurried steps all the while glancing around her but she couldnt help the jumpy feeling she had, the rainforest usually so calming and safe to her now seemed threatning now that she knew that leapords roamed it.

As she stumbled through the trees Rosa saw movement up ahead, bracing herself she waited anxiously as she saw someone coming towards her, she didn’t know if she wanted to scream or run but instead she stood there wide eyed and fearful as Kile approached her, he didn’t look any different and she cringed at her own stupidity why would he look any different just because she knew what he was. His expression caught her eye he was smirking, his eyes glinting and she felt somewhat unsettled why in the world would he be smirking at a time like this. 'see something you like?' he stated confidently indicating his body and reffering to her eariler assesment of him. She scoffed before folding her arms and replying with 'you wish' but instantly  dropped her arms and gaped as she realised that she had just teased him, Kile a leapord one of the men she thought she couldnt be around again because of what she knew them to be but she had completey forgotten for a second. Deep down she wished she would get over it because she didn’t want to admit how much she missed them, there banter and company was something she was used to and spending time away from them felt like she was missing a piece of herself. Kile noticed her change in demeanor as she took a step back and looked ashamed of herself, he hoped she wasnt ashamed that she had spoken to him, that would hurt but he also hoped that it wasnt shame about the fact that she couldnt forgive them.

'came to see if you wanted breakfast?' he asked casually his eyes assessing her, the way she was positioned slightly to the side and the way her legs were spaced, either in preperation to fight or flight he wasnt sure but her expressionless face wasnt giving him any clues.

'breakfast?' she asked her voice a whisper and he didn’t acknowegde the quiver in her voice, but instead rejoiced at the fact that she was speaking to him.

Emmerson had told the others all about what was going on with her, and Kile had told them what he knew, they had all come to the agreement that she was indeed a shifter a late one but a shifter non the less and had all vowed that they would stay with her to help her through the process when the time came. Emmerson had said Rosa confessed at finding Kile easier to talk to so he had volunteered to speak to her first and see how she was, Blaise was frantic through the night he didn’t sleep non of them did but he was worse pacing and swearing, they had stopped him from ripping Emmerson's throat out because apparently she had 'a few cuts', Kile could see the bandages Blaise had spent hours applying, he needed to get back because they would want to know how she was, he wished he could have brought her her bag back to her, that would have made her feel a little better but they couldnt because A she might run when she had it and B it had her gun in it. Kile thought of something that might take her fancy seeing as she looked like she wasnt interested in having breakfast with him and the others and she looked ready to bolt.

'What do say to going for a wash in a nearby stream, well I say stream but it looks more like a lake its that big and the waters beautifully clear and warm, what do you think?' he asked his voice hopefully as he cocked his head to the side waiting for an answer. Rosa shifed her feet nervously she kept shooting glances around her as if there could be others watching, Kile's offer was tempting she hadnt washed in two days and felt like she was filthy, living out in the open was hard work and she really needed a drink her thoat was parched. Studying Kile, she knew he wouldnt hurt her, in fact he was trying really hard to convince her that they were still the same she could see the hope in his eyes so swallowing slightly she nodded. His grin was almost infectious and she felt the corners o her mouth tug up in to a smile but stopped her self just in time, she couldnt just go on like nothing happened because something did happen and it was huge, 'great, well ill just go grab you some clothes or something you look like you want to get out of those ones and ill meet you back here kay? Wont be long' he beamed the exitement pouring off him made her feel better but before he was out of sight she called out  to him whispering 'just you, dont bring the others, just you' the words stuck in her throat but she knew he heard and she was surprised at how far his hearing range was she wondered if the others could hear that well too. As she watched him dissapear she couldnt help but feel scared at what she had just agreed to do,
