Light on the Side of Darkness

Chapter 6 reptilians

We stopped to rest for the night Muse and Justin were all over each other I gaged and Lilly laughed, "You ok?" She asked me

"No it's disgusting you and Cas were never that bad." I said looking at them making googley eyes at each other.

"In public." She replied with a wink.

"Ewwww!" I shrieked gagging I pulled on my sports bra and tank top behind the bush, Lilly was standing in front of the bush keeping an eye out for creepers.

"Lilly how do you think the kingdom is?" I asked my thoughts turning to darker things as I slipped on a pair of sweats I stepped out from behind the bush and Lilly walked behind it with we bag in her mouth she shifted and replied, "I don't know Sapp but he couldn't have gotten everyone our people are smarter then that." She said coming around and placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I sighed, "You're right, I miss Leon I wish he was here." I whispered softly.

"I know I miss Cas I miss his dark brown hair, his violet eyes and his dark skin..." She drifted off

"Whoa TMI Lil!" I cried out she laughed and we walked back over to the two love birds, they were intertwined with each other, "Really?!" I called out they sprung apart

"Much better." Lilly said coming up beside me and crossed her arms. I laughed and we all got ready for bed I took first watch and climbed a near by pine tree and perched on a branch near the top I sighed pulling one knee up to my chest and thinking about my handsome Leon and how he held me so lovingly in that dream, I could feel my soul calling out for him longing for him craving his touch.

Several hours later

I saw a stirring in the trees I snarled and jumped down feeling a slight discomfort not my smartest move ever, I shifted into a small bangle and slipped out of my clothes then shifted into my snow leopard, a figure came through the bushes it was a beautiful golden lion

I growled, "How did you find us?"

The lion stepped forward and that's when I recognized his scent, "Leon." I breathed

"Hello my love." he said.

"I'm dreaming aren't I?" I asked looking around

He nodded, "Yes you are." I shifted back not caring about my nudeness and ran to him he shifted back as well and caught me in his arms crushing me to his bare chest, I purred his body was cut and and perfect he held me close in his strong arms, I kissed him and the kiss quickly turned heated. I moaned and pulled away, "I do not want my first time to be in my dream in a forest." I stated pulling away. He grabbed my waist and pulled me back, "Alright, honey I'll wait for you for forever." I smiled and kissed him.

"I have to go I love you Leon be safe and I'm heading to the reptilians I will see you soon my love." I said and woke up I heard something moving on the round below I looked down and saw a giant black mamba moving through the bush I snarled shifting ripping my clothes, darn. I lept from the branch and landed on my feet it jarred me jumping from that high but I didn't let that bother me, "who are you and what do you want?" A voice hissed.

I looked around seeing nothing, "my name is Sapphire and I seeking help from the reptilians." I said suddenly the mamba from earlier slithered out from the trees his scales looked smooth and he had green eyes I knew that he wasn't a normal snake but a shifter and a powerful one at that. He shifted he was handsome, he had skin that had seen many days in the sun, his hair as black as his scales, his eyes were the same vibrant green, I noticed scares marring his body, his calf look like it had been shredded by a knife his chest was covered in what looked like cigaret burns his ribs didn't seem to be resting right they looked like they were growing over each other he was wearing pants that went to mid calf, and what looked like fur wrapped around his slender hips across his chest he had two leather straps criss-crossing.
