Risen

Chapter 28: The Rain deer

Mele

I know I'm not going to make it in time....... my feet are to slow...... My breath is to laboured..... I don't even know where I'm going.

But I know who I'm finding, and who I'm trying not to.

And that's enough for me.

But as I run, I feel the heat start to get to me.

Selei Starling in samoa has killed a mestonaan, and is now scaling a tree in the local forest.

A small smile pulls onto my lips, and I increase my speed.

Cale

Filiki hasn't called, and he said he would when........ When he completed the task.

And I fear the worst, because he wasn't trained like the rest of us, he was trained by me, I'm not supposed to train people.

But I didn't want him to be ruined like the rest of us.

I didn't want him to go through everyday thinking of all the ways shapeshifters can kill you. When you should be enjoying life.

But now I think I'm regretting it.

Selei

It's done, his done, the task is done. But still I feel like something's missing. Like someone's missing.

Maybe it's because I know that there will be more coming for me.

But I can defeat them all.........all of them except for one.............Cale.

Because something in his eyes told me that the tsunami, that changed all our lives, impacted on nothing in his.

But still he felt sorrow, confusion and anger.

He isn't like the others, he isn't at all a mestonaan at heart.

He is forgiving, good natured and merciful. Which is why it's going to be hard killing him.

Cale

I run towards the forest, taking one giant leap after another.

Something is definitely not right.

Usually you hear at least some sort of shuffling, not screaming because shapeshifters when are getting killed, don't show how much they are hurting.

This slowly confirms my beliefs of the worst.

And then I see her.

Mele

Over to my left is Cale, running quicker now he has seen me.

The look on his face tells me that something is killing him inside.

But I scream in my head, willing myself to run faster.

However my legs are pulling me in a different direction.

And I'm suddenly climbing a tree.

Selei

I sit on my tree branch watching the horizon. Watching as the boy with his siblings turns slowly and waves towards my direction.

Although his actions are friendly, you can tell he wants to forget everything he has just seen.

I would too if I wasn't the killer.

I sigh and stare down at the creature below.

"Look can't we just work this out, I'm sure we can put the past behind us just this once?..........How did we even become advestities in the first place?!"

I say raising a eyebrow with my mouth open and pleading.

The creature just stares at me solemnly.

I HATE RAINDEER.

And they hate me too.

Which means if I don't figure out a way to distract it, I'm going to be turned into rain deer food.

Alternatively I could transform myself into a bird and fly away. But rain deer hate us so much they will follow you until you become tired.

I can't even turn myself into a insect because a shapeshifter can only turn into a animal with hair of some sort.

I can't even use my powers on it because of the stupid rule.

No killing animals

So that narrows down any plan I could come up with.

Cale

I'm trying so hard to focus on running but all I can think about is Uncle lying on the ground, defenceless.

My only alive relative that cared for me once my parents had died.

Got me through all the anger I felt towards shapeshifters.

And taught me how to love life again.

And to love the people I had in it.

And the thought of him gone made that anger resurface, but even still I found something else come to mind....... and that was something I haven't felt this strong ever.

Because since I first saw her, I can't stop seeing in the face of everyone her.

I almost laugh out loud at myself. Imagine that, 'Cale the mestonaan that fell for a shapeshifter'.

Mele

I see her..... my sister.

Cale

I see her, she's right there in front on me.

Well above me because shes in a tree.

But she's just as beautiful as I remembered.

Selei

This is it.

I see both of them staring at me from each there own distance.

I look down at my necklace and bangles.....and I look down at Cale, who looks transfixed and unreal, then I look at my sister.

Who is just as pretty and cute as before.

And I suddenly no what I must do in order to save them both.

I must be my own leader.
