Long Way Home #Wattys2016

Chapter 31

Emilina POV

We finally got the use of our bodies back and found out we were gone for two days. Paul said that every time they tried to move us they would either be burned or shocked. To me it was a little funny because the ones that tried to move us was the same ones that talked bad about Little Bird.

Wyatt told us about his hunt and getting that massive deer back to camp. There was eight new couples, two got married the same day the others are waiting for the Blue Moon.

"I am glad to see you both finally awaken." I heard Little Sparrow say from behind me.

"Where are the kids?" I ask Paul as I turned around to face Little Sparrow.

"No worries there fine. These boys of yours sure have taken a liking to their new little sisters." Little Sparrow said with a huge smile on her face.

I looked to my right, to where she was pointing and watched the boys playing with Lilly and Sarah. I can't believe how big Lilly has gotten in just two days. The boys are actually in their human form, which surprised me a little.

"They have not shifted since we got here." Paul told me and I nodded my understanding.

"I'm taking the kids for a walk. Little Bird," I saw her winch at the sound of that name. "I'm sorry it will take some time to get use to. Shaylee, would you like to join me? That's if you want too, as well as anyone else." I state as I look at momma Rosealee knowing she needs to shift also.

I stand and walk away, as I pass the kids I scoop up Lilly laughingly and took off running. The boys and Sarah where right on my heels. It was as if we hit the woods they shifted to let their bears free to run. Sarah climbed a tree and sat watching the boys run around and play.

"Sweetie, why don't you come down here with us." I heard Paul as he called up to Sarah.

"I don't know how to shift, never did it before." Sarah said, "I'll just sit up here and be look out so you will know if someone is coming or not."

I looked up the tree to where Paul pointed at her. She was sitting on a branch high in the tree. She had her back agents the tree and her legs straight out and crossed at the ankles. Someone rubbed agents the tree giving it a little shake making her jump up and hug the tree. I saw a boy about her age laughing as he shook the tree again. She glared down at him, looking as if she was going to pounce on him.

"I would run if I were you." I tell the boy quietly.

His head snapped in my direction as if he didn't know I was there. He slowly raised his hands off the tree and took a few steps back. That put him perfectly in her line of sight. I watched as she started crouching down on the branch readying herself to spring on him.

"Do you know him?" I ask Wyatt, Paul, Grant and David, sending them each a mental picture of the boy.

"Yes, he is in one of my classes. If he is causing any trouble let me know I can tell his parents." David answered almost immediately.

"N0 need, I think Sarah is about to put him in his place." I told David as I open my mind and let them watch her surprise attack.

"Did she just jump him from that tree?" David asked with total shock in his voice.

"How high up was she?" I heard Jasmine as she joined the conversation.

I started laughing as Sarah stood back up; she started walking towards me as she started dusting herself off. She had a very satisfied look upon her face. I knew she was going to be tough for a girl but I never expected her to be this way. Her satisfied look became one of pain and anguish. I ran to her as she feel to the ground, holding herself as waves of pain shot through her body. I wanted to pull her into my lap and hold her. I wanted to pick her up and run to the closest doctor I could find. But I couldn't touch her without making it "feel as if her skin was on fire," her words not mine.
