Chapter 9
I kept running down the dirt path in the dank area of trees. Questions were flooding my brain. Why did he kiss me? Why did I kiss him? Why do I feel like this? Why did I run away? As I came into a small clearing, I tried to find answers. Do I love him? Am I embarrassed? He loves me? I only came up with more questions. "Arella." I whispered.
I walked up to the small stream and splashed my face with water. I then whispered "Hezberek Et Morine" I waved my hand over the water. It spurred and made a vision of my mother, Arella. "Mom?" I said into the water. She looked up and saw me in her mirror.
"Raven?" she asked. "What is wrong? Are you hurt?"
"Nothing, it's just my emotions are stirred and I don't know what to do."
"What happened?" she asked coming closer to the mirror.
I paused and then started. I told her how my whole day went. "And then he kissed me." I said finishing my explaining. "What do I do? I don't know if I even like him like that."
"I cannot answer this question but, did you kiss him back and let him kiss you?" I nodded in defeat. "Then you must like him enough to do that. Apologize for running off and tell him you feel the same way and everything will be fine." The water was fading the vision of my mother away and soon it trickled into nothing but what it was. "I love you, Raven." A soft voice said and I thought it was my mother but, when I turned around I saw Kyo holding out his hand.
"We really should stop meeting out here like this." He said and I took his hand. He wiped the tears on my face away and smiled. "It's ok I understand how you feel about this so I thought we should take this slow…."
I cut him off and kissed him like he had done to me. I pulled back gently. "I should be the one asking for forgiveness. I should not have run off like that and not face this, but, I couldn't help it. I guess I just never expected anyone to love me that much. Especially knowing what I am." He didn't react to my explanation but, only kissed me again. But, when he drew closer, a cloud of smoke appeared and there was a sound of a small exploding. Kyo turned into a cat.
"Aw Man I hate that." He said and sat angrily on the ground knowing he couldn't kiss me as a cat. I laughed and picked up his cloths. I then picked him up and held him. "I swear right when the good part comes, I have to turn into a cat. You're so lucky your powers don't do anything weird when you try to kiss someone." I rolled my eyes as he complained.
"Actually." I said. "You were lucky my emotions didn't go out of control." I looked at the path on which my feet trampled on. "I have to keep my emotions under control so that I don't hurt anyone. So, most of the time, I have to be calm. It was probably why I ran away from you earlier." He sighed.
"Well I'm not afraid of your powers or emotions or whatever other side effects you have." I smiled at him. We were in silence then for a few minutes. Kyo then jumped from my arms.
"What's wrong?" I asked him as he darted around a tree. I then saw the orange smoke and heard the explosion. "Oh." I said and turned around quickly throwing his clothing at him.
I then felt a hand on my shoulder and it turned me around slowly. "If kissing you means I have to turn into a cat then, it's fine with me." I smiled and he kissed me lightly. He then walked me home, safe and sound.
