Being Human

Chapter 7

The pair were losing daylight as they continued to wander the huge plains to find the herd of the other centaurs, Angel was wearing a baby blue jacket as her arms were wrapped tightly around the centaur's waist before she "Rashad it's getting darker, what do we do?"

She looked with an uneasy expression while the centaur galloped through the large plains, her eyes looked up at the darkening sky before they widen when she saw something that amazed her.

In the sky where the large moon was faintly seen, few feet there was a large round shape that was bit bigger than the moon itself, the color was not light faint blue like the moon but a light faint red.

The stars were sparkling brighter as the dark sky seems to splash with faded colors that moved gently along the sky from red, orange, pink, yellow, blue purple and much more could be seen fading to other colors.

"Is this your first time seeing an aurora and the red moon?"

She nods her head as she didn't dare to take her eyes away from the sky, Rashad smiled softly as he turned his head back to face the front keeping his eyes open for any signs of a familiar shape.

"Why I didn't see this in the sky yesterday night?" Angel whispered still amazed at the sight in front of her before finally turning her eyes away from the sky to stare at the back of Rashad's head.

"The red moon and the aurora lights rarely come out, even if they come out from hiding, it said to have appeared in different areas making it harder to spot."

Rashad stared at the sky for a moment before he returns back to wandering, his eyes darting around for any signs as Angel turned her head to stare off into the valley. "Rashad what are you going to do when you meet up with the others?" She questioned quietly while the male stayed silent in thought before slightly turning his head as he sadly smiled at her.

"I probably leave and travel on my own." Her eyes widen as she stared at him in confusion, she opened her mouth to ask but Rashad had beat her to it and answered. "Hakan is a person that forgives and moves on but I do not forgive or move on, he and I do not get along when our views are brought up."

"I respect him as a good leader but he is someone I cannot follow with how different our views are." Angel look down to her hands as she furrowed her eyebrows in thought before asking quietly to him. "Even if your views are different, I don't see why it causes you both not to be close."

She looked up to the sky as she drummed her fingers on her thigh. "I don't really understand friendship or relationship of humans or other races in term but... I don't think that having two different views should separate you both." The centaur forced out a chuckle as he paces himself so that he still had enough energy for himself to continue carrying Angel on his back. "You be surprised how the mind of creatures work."

Angel nodded her head but stopped when her eyes widen at large group coming towards them, she quickly turned her head to Rashad only to stop when she saw Rashad was already looking over where she was staring at but his face was in distress.

His green eyes shifted towards Angel before he began to quickly gallop away from the horde that was closing in on them. The nymph eyes stared at the horde horrified at the sight of wolves chasing them, they did not look like the ones she had encountered in the forest for they give off a darker vibe than the ones that Cassius had defeated, her arms tighten around Rashad's waist as her eyes wildly searched for any signs of her savior and the group of centaurs but to no a veiled has she see any signs of them.

"Rashad how big are these plains?!" She cried out in panicked as her eyes dart back to the danger that kept chasing them.

Rashad didn't speak as he was focusing on getting himself and Angel out of harms away as his stallion legs pumped with each step they made on the grassy ground. One of the black wolves had reached to Rashad's leg and bit down on his leg hard causing the centaur to cry out in pain and crash as another wolf had latched on to his other leg, Angel fell with him as her legs were crushed under his body causing her to scream out in pain as her pale hand clutch tightly onto the grass.
