Suddenly Chapter 1
Renn's Point of View
Renn was waiting in the Raven Camp, looking for Torak in the bustling crowd. She was going to ask him to come hunting with her, but since she couldn't find him, she would have to go alone. She couldn't even find Wolf. She found it strange that she couldn't find either of them, but she brushed it away from her mind.
As she was looking for signs of any game, Renn heard a rustle in the bushes. She instinctively crouched down, and whipped out her hunting knife. She spun around, facing the direction of the movement, and squinted through the foliage. As she moved, she was careless and stepped on a branch with a loud snap. 'Stupid Renn!' she scolded herself, 'You probably just scared off any game around.' As she sheathed her hunting knife, suddenly Torak was in front of her.
"Torak!" she breathed. "I was looking for you where were you?"
"I was hunting. I have been for half an hour." he replied, obviously as startled as her.
"Oh…I was going to invite you to come hunting with me…" Suddenly Wolf was beside him. So that's where Wolf was, she thought to herself. 'Of course! That makes sense. Stupid Renn!' she scolded herself again
Suddenly, Torak walked up to her, and brushed a leaf out of her hair. For some strange reason, he was staring at her, and she was startled.
"Torak?" she said quizzically.
"Mmm?" he replied fixing one of his arrows.
"Why did you do that?" she asked, feeling like she was asking how to shoot her bow. She knew it wasn't a good question, but she felt she needed to ask it.
Suddenly there was a look in the slate eyes, that she couldn't put her finger on, but she knew she liked it. He stroked her hair, and suddenly, he kissed her. At first she was surprised, but then she relaxed her face and kissed him back. Although it was a short kiss, she felt like it lasted for ages, and she never wanted it to end. When Torak finally pulled away, she looked straight into his eyes, the slate, green-flecked eyes, and this time she kissed him, on his cheek. And suddenly, she knew, she loved Torak.
