Desire

A tribe is a place to belong, but some just do not fit.

"What is it?"

"A pearl necklace, from the Lakutian Ocean. The shells from my tribe."

I can't help but marvel at it, the necklace was in one word, beautiful. So beautiful infact that I feared of ruining it.

"Do you not like it."

I stumbled with my words, like was too small a word for how I saw it.

"I love it, very much."

He smiled at me, his dark eyes glinting in the moonlight.

"Good, because I plan on giving you more."

Every year on the Summer Solstice, those of age come together for a feast. But not any ordinary feast.

It is a ceremonial gathering; A ritual if you will. Where you find your soulmate. But you can only meet them if you dance.

I meet my soulmate; Tall, handsome and a hunter, a magnificent hunter, let's also not forget a rival tribe member.

I want him.

I need him.

I love him.

But I just can't be with him.
