Day 4 - Thursday 13th July
Memories
Remembering the past gives power to the present.
Altera lay curled up in bed, a wave or raven hair hiding the face of her friend Jasper next to her, asleep. Altera propped herself up and reached out to brush the hair out of her friend's face, seeing the contented look she had so long wanted to see on that face. Jasper was in a tank top and sweats, which was just fine by Altera, even if she herself was only in her underwear. Her mind went back as she stared down at her friend, gliding over the past.
Their first meeting where they had a dirt ball fight. Altera pegging her with clods of dirt using the Force. An attempt to make this grumpy girl she met have fun for once.
The flirting. Constant flirting on her part as she teased Jasper, the wolf girl, who had never known what it was like to be cared for any human way, and Altera, who had never had the opportunity to show anyone how she truly felt.
The friends dinner. The dinner Altera had finally asked Jasper to, who had immediately qualified it as a 'friends' dinner only, to which Altera had immediately agreed.
That wonderful drunken night. The night where they had first kissed while sober and then continued once they were very very drunk. The glorious night that Altera had realized that she really liked this young woman before her.
Altera sighed, feeling the slight, wonderful sting from her stomach, where there were four shallow claw marks. She knew Jasper would freak out about them, but Jasper loved them. She'd won over the wolf girl. She leaned over and kissed Jasper's neck softly. "We're gonna make a lot of memories, beautiful," she purred softly.
