Eyes On Fire

Chapter 5- Tee Pees In The Yard

Chapter 5

 

A week has passed since I was banned from seeing Jacob but I never listen, every night I snuck off to see him. The thing is I can’t do that anymore you see my family had started to arrive here; we have a huge yard so they set up tee pees. The people that came were my grandparents, uncle, and cousin, then some people that were on the council.

I woke up at 10am and took a shower and straightened my hair and put some make up on. I got dressed in a white v-neck shirt with brown and red feathers printed on it, ripped denim jeans, and moccasins. I went outside and sat on swing that was in a tree beside my house. I missed Jacob so much I felt like a part of my heart was hallowed and I couldn’t breathe right without him.

My dad walked up to me and told me to follow him. I did as told and went over to the centre of the circle that was created with the tee pees

‘I want to introduce you to my daughter Kora’ he said in a strong voice

‘Hello young Kora, I’m your grandfather Gelar Roberts, tribal leader, wolf’ he grasped my forearm and pulled me into him.

My dad told me it was a sign of respect when they grasped your forearm and you would do the same.

‘I’m Eerin Roberts your grandmother, fox’ she introduced and did the same as my grandfather

‘Hi Kora I’m your uncle Jarrah, I’m a coyote like your father’ he said and grasped me.

‘I’m your one and only cousin Monti, and I’m a puma’ he hugged me instead and messed my hair up

‘Hey that’s not cool dude’ I laughed fixing my hair.

I turned to see 3 other men

‘So you are the one we must come here for’ a man around 60 said

‘Yes I guess my name is Kora’ I said holding out my hand

‘They call me Kalti Berland the jaguar’ he said grasping my forearm

‘Burnum Moberly a white and black wolf, nice to meet you young one’ he introduced himself grasping me also.

‘I am Winnie Gauthier a beautiful snow leopard they say’ a woman around her 50’s said

‘It’s nice to meet you all’ I said standing beside my father.

After we all introduced themselves my dad went to the barbeque and put on some hamburgers and lamb for dinner. I brought out the picnic table from the side of the house with Monti; he looked completely aboriginal with short brown hair and a normal build.

Lunch was passed around and we started to eat

‘Kora has your father told you anything about what will be happening’ Gelar asked

‘No, just that there is going to be a fight’ I shrugged cutting my lamb

‘You will be made to dress in a dress and you would have to sit at a high spot to observe the battle, to win the fight one must pin the other till the Alpha says they have one’ he said taking a bit of salad.

‘What will happen if Jacob looses?’ I questioned

‘He will have his heart cut out of his body then you will have no imprint but that may mean apart of you will shatter’ he said darkly.

We continued to eat in silence after Gelar told me what would happen. I finished dinner and got a piece of candy salmon from a plate

‘Kora darling do you know what happens when a spirit animal opens inside you and takes you’ Whinny asked taking a candy salmon also

‘Nope I’m kinda clueless to heritage’ I smirked

‘You will have the shape of your animal tattooed on your arm and our tribe crest tattooed on your back, it will be small but big enough to see details’ she said nodding to me.

‘So I will have the tattoo inked on me when I change?’ I confirmed

‘Yes and the fight will take place tomorrow an hour before twilight’ Gelar said.

‘Monti and Kora, go to the packs home and give them this’ Burnum said handing me an envelope addressed ‘Black Pack’ on the front of the envelope.

‘No she is forbidden to see Jacob till the fight Moberly she must not go’ my dad yelled

‘It must be done that way because she is the one that has her freedom up on a high place. It has been done that way since the first imprint that was done to a girl that was not changed into her animal!’ Gelar said with a strong voice.

Monti and I walked down to Sam’s house; I walked in silence with Monti

‘So how long have you and Jacob been together?’  He asked as we came down the path to the house

‘We aren’t together, just imprinted’ I shrugged coming up to the door

‘I hope he doesn’t lose’ Monti said which ended the conversation.

The door opened to reveal Sam

‘Hello Kora how are you?’ he asked shaking my hand

‘Is Jacob here?’ I asked avoiding his ‘how are you’ question

‘Hold on’ Sam said leaving the door.

Jacob came and he looked brutal since my family came and I couldn’t see him

‘Hey Kora, what are you doing here? Who this?’ Jacob asked giving Monti a hard look

‘My cousin Monti Roberts, tomorrow an hour before twilight you are to come with your pack to my home to fight for my freedom’ I said giving him the letter.

‘This is for real isn’t it?’ Jacob asked looking at the envelope

‘Bye’ I said and walked away with Monti at my side.

I felt like I couldn’t breathe tomorrow was the day I would see my Jacob fight my father for the right over me. I hated to think I was an object, I was the girl that people feared because I could fight anyone and win but what was this really about. I never grew up with the heritage given to me up front it was kept from me. Now I have to listen to it hell no! I thought coming up to my door.
