Jessie sighed softly and sat on the side of her bed, staring silently towards the window with a gentle smile on her face. It was midnight on the day of her 16th birthday and she was more than ready for it to start. She was far too excited and wide awake to sleep. In fact, sleep was the furthest thing from her mind.
She stood up from her bed and made her way over towards the window, setting herself on the sill and looking up to the sky. The moon reflected gently off her golden blonde hair, a small halo of light forming around her head. She smiled up at the moon and giggled some, resisting the urge to howl mockingly at it, instead turning her head down and looking at the ground, closing her eyes to focus on listening to the wind as it rustled the leaves in the trees. A sudden sound of flapping wings drawing her attention to the top of the tree in front of her. She tilted her head and looked up at it, a sleek black winged raven perched on a branch just above her window.
She smiled softly and closed her eyes again, but looked up again when one of the pine needles fell down onto her nose. She shook it off and saw that the raven had gone and a woman sat in its place. Her hair was long and black, stopping just barely above her backside. Her baby-blue eyes seeming to glow slightly against the paleness of her skin.
Jessie slowly moved toward the window and leaned out of it, gasping softly when she leaned too far out of it and quickly grabbed onto a branch to keep herself from falling. The tree shook and the woman looked down, a look of surprise appearing on her face as Jessie made her way up the tree. Jessie froze and looked back up at the woman, becoming slightly more nervous when the surprise turned to an anxious grin.
Jessie felt her cheeks become hot and flushed, continuing to make her way up to the top of the tree and sitting up behind the woman. She didn't turn around, she just sat there, staring toward the moon.
Jessie crawled up to the top branch and moved up behind her. She heard a soft sigh and she smiled a little as the woman reached her hand back behind her. Jessie took the woman's hand gently and smiled a little as she moved up to lay her head at the top of the woman's back just below her neck.
"I was wondering how long it would be before you got here, love" Jessie smiled softly and layed her head on the woman's shoulder. The woman seemed slightly startled at first, but then her face softened to a smile as she ran her fingers through the much younger girl's hair.
"I was worried that you wouldn't remember me..." She smiled and kissed the top of Jessie's head.
"Not this time, Maya." She smiled softly and yawned softly, laying her head in the woman's lap and nuzzling into her thighs. The woman smiled softly and leaned down to kiss Jessie's neck. Jessie flinched a little and pulled back. Maya smiled a little and pulled her back in close.
Jessie curled in close and yawned softly, laying her head on Maya's lap and closed her eyes, smiling softly as Maya ran her fingers through her hair. "You're so warm and your hair is so soft... But you should be getting some sleep now love." Maya said softly, smiling a little as she leaned down to kiss Jessie's forehead.
Jessie frowned softly and clung to Maya tightly, shaking her head and sitting herself up to push herself into Maya's lap. "Come lay with me..." Maya chuckled and petted her lovers hair.
"Not tonight my love. Next time maybe." Jessie whimpered softly and nuzzled into her chest. Maya looked down at Jessie for a moment and sighed softly. "Fine. But just until you fall asleep, ok?"
"Fine by me" she giggled as Maya stood on the branch and lifted her up into her arms, jumping down the branches to the window and slipping in, walking to the bed and laying Jessie down first before crawling in beside her and pulling her into her arms.
"Sleep well, my little kitten. Tomorrow is a big day." She kissed Jessie's forehead and Jessie smiled as she nuzzled into Maya's chest. Maya held her close to her and kissed her forehead and Jessie slowly drifted off to sleep.
