(Book 1) Darkness Falls: Into a Wolf's & Cat's eyes

Chapter 5

Jess POV:

  I just smiled hearing Gmel's mutter and a little glad that the stranger listened, most of his black hair hung down over his dark blue eyes. To see him awake was a good thing it meant he was alive! The stranger shifted as he laid on his back with a small wince escaping his mouth. I starred a little worried but I wouldn't force him to do anything,''Come on Gmel let's leave him to get rest..'' I spoke walking towards the door of the room. Gmel did not move she just stood still as if still shocked that the stranger listened, I sighed shaking my head and grabbed her arm. With a swift tug I pulled her out of the room, she then turned and faced me,''Hey!'' I shrugged with a smile,''Well you weren't moving so I had to, besides I think the last thing this guy wants is some girl watching him trying to rest.'' I teased seeing that she just was pretty much starring at him the whole time. Gmel lightly blushed,''W-what! I wasn't starring! I-I ugh!!'' I laughed at her response. We headed for the main door of the building,''Are you sure it was a good idea to leave him unsupervised?'' Gmel asking looking back at the door her light blue pony tail moving from one side to the other as she moved her head. I thought to myself for a moment,''Well I mean its not like he is a prisoner around here, he doesn't need to be watched all the time.'' I grabbed the exit's door knob and opened the door,''Besides he is to hurt to do much right now, so even if it was a bad idea we wouldn't have much to worry about.

At first it didn't seem like Gmel was going to agree with my statements but she soon just nodded. I walked down to the gravel path, but she was right we couldn't leave him completely unsupervised,"I'll come check on him in a few hours.." I spoke walking through the village with Gmel by my side.

Gmel POV:
    When I heard Jess's words I shook my head,"N-no!" She faced me in confusion,"I mean, no let me take care of it Jess! You always do stuff like this and ummmm well you need some time off! Yeah. Yeah!" I gave a nervous smile. I wanted to know more about that weird dream I had and why I had it there and why now! It looked like Jess wasn't buying my excuse at first her dark pink eyes just started at me, her gaze was soft with worry. After a few moments of complete awkward silence she slowly nodded sighing put one hand on her hip as she gaze shifted down,"Fine I guess you can." I smiled with joy that I won this round, I was really tempted to pump my fist up in the air in victory but that might of changed her mind so I held back.

     Jess's gaze then shifted from the ground up to me,"Okay I don't completely understand but." She took a large breath,"I trust you know what you are doing." She seemed unsure of me but that didn't stop her from agreeing. I cleared my throat,"Well let's head home! Maybe make something to eat...like." My mind wandered searching for something to eat. What could we eat then it hit me like a truck I snapped my fingers,"We can have shrimp!!!" I leaped with joy and shouted. I froze because I realized u said that extremely loud, people were starring at me with confused looks. I shrunk down feeling myself turn red with embarrassment as Jess laughed at my burst out,"Well shrimp it is then." She smiled and began to walk. I followed keeping my head down dying of complete embarrassment.

Puppet's POV:

Location: Forest couple miles from the village

       I walked down the rivers bank with Kim following, it's been three days and we still couldn't find him! I began to completely worry the sound of the river's rushing current gave me an unsettling feeling. My gaze was partly shifted to the ground and half up at Kim's swaying long red hair as she walked in front of me. We have had no luck, I sighed,"This is hopeless how are we going to find him who knows where this river leads." Kim stopped hearing my words and faced me, her emerald green eyes starred at me. I should say eye considering her long red hair covered one of her eyes,"Don't say that Puppet...." She spoke in a clam voice. She then walked up to me putting a hand on my shoulder.

      I looked back up at her in dismay,"But we have looked everywhere and we have yet to find him! What if- what if..h-he's" I choked on my own words as if I was unable to say what I wanted to say. Kim shook her head,"Hey! Hey! No none of that don't even start thinking like that!" She refused to let my head face back down. So I looked at her,"We will find him and we haven't looked everywhere, we still have the near by village." She pointed in the direction of where a couple miles away a village was near. I had completely forgotten about that place we never go near there, I felt myself have a glimmer of hope. Maybe the village found him but part of me knew that was maybe a problem.

   Kim smiled,"Well we better get going to check..." I nodded a new energy coming towards me,"But before we go Kim you have to hide those features of yours." I pointed to Kim's black cat ears and tail. Kim swayed her tail,"Oh yeah..." The next thing I know it Kim was now a pure black cat with emerald green eyes, I giggled,"Alrighty." I crouched down as Kim jumped up into my shoulders making sure not to dig her claws into me,"Next stop, the near by village!"
