Chapter 2. Friends help each other.
A week had passed without anything out of the ordinary, Dawn´s routine of meditation and connection with mother nature was the same, but today would be different, the moonchild will help her new friend to practice the basics of yoga.
Dawn saw much tension in Cody's aura, so before he goes back to his home, she told him to come with comfortable clothes next week in front of a small lake near the treehouse. Dawn changed into her yoga clothes, a blue sports blouse, and black pants clamped her hair in a ponytail. With all the necessary to the class, she leaves a note stuck in the trunk so Cody could see it and walk to the lake.
Minutes later, Cody saw the treehouse, thank god he remembers the way, grab the note stuck in the treehouse trunk. He came with a shirt dark green with a sheepskin jacket blue, pants gray and white tennis.
´Cody, please continue to walk forward until you reach a tree surrounded by white flowers, turn left, and you will saw the lake. I will be waiting for you to teach you yoga.´
PD: Don't throw this note in the forest, leave it in my house or save it in one of your pockets, also, try not to hurt any living being in your way.
Dawn.
"She really cares about nature," Cody thought, following the direction of the note, in five minutes, could see the crystalline lake, beautiful.
Cody had a perfect view of the place, surrounded by high pines. Cody breathes deep, filling his lungs with the fresh air. The geek took a moment to take a photo with his cell phone.
"Cody, over here," Dawn said, moving her arm to draw Cody ´s attention, while she finished putting two rugs on the surface, he approached and gave her a quick hug in the form of greeting.
"Good morning Dawn, hope you have patience with me, it is my first time in yoga," said Cody, a little nervous about being an idiot in front of a girl, again.
"Please don't worry, were will start with the easiest positions," Dawn responds, putting some candles around the canvases for flavorings.
"I appreciate your help, by the way, why you don't have shoes or socks?" Cody asked, curious to see her barefoot.
"I like to have direct contact with the Earth and mother nature, take off your shoes and sit down on lotus position" seeing Cody's expression, Dawn knew this is going to be a fun class, at least for her.
"Ok, try my best," Cody said, a little embarrassed.
"Listen, Cody. Try to follow me as far as you can. Once your body is tired, do the position I am now, close your eyes and breathe in and out calmly, let your ears hear the sounds of nature, taking out all bad emotions" Dawn showed him put the body on downward dog position. Once he mastered the rest position, both started with body stretches. Dawn gets tipped over a foot kept the other foot stuck on her thigh, with the hands raised.
The naturalist opens one eye to see how Cody was doing. The geek couldn't stop shaking due to his lack of balance. She softly laughed. After thirty minutes, Cody was already sweating for the effort.
"Dawn, some help here," asked Cody, for some advice, Dawn approaches him and puts her hands on his arm to move him into a better position.
"Try not to move this arm, imagine a white point in your mind and focus only on the point, to keep the balance, holds a few seconds in that position, then lie down while I finish my exercises" her hands are warm. Cody spends the rest of the time lying down, relaxing muscles. Dawn ended with her favorite position, inverted crescent moon, Cody was impressed by Dawn's ability and flexibility. She had experienced this.
"Tired?" Dawn asked. Cody slept with a smile. She already knows the answer just to see him sweat.
"As never before, I never thought this would be so tired," Cody respond, removing the sweat on his forehead.
"Relax, now tighten every part of your body to relax the muscles, begins in the forehead, and finish in the feet, feel the magic works" Cody feels relaxed and light like he had run a marathon, but not experiencing the effects of the fatigue.
"Incredible, I feel so relaxed, thank you so much, Dawn."
"You are welcome, Cody. If you want some advice about yoga or other to relax exercise, let me know," Dawn said with a sincere smile.
"I will, hey, at least, let me take the rugs up to your house, once there, we can chat a little bit" Cody loaded both shades on the returning to her home. The geek showed the naturalist the note, proving he doesn't throw it in her precious forest. Dawn appreciated it. She hates people who threw garbage in natural places.
They arrive at the treehouse, Cody keeps the rugs where Dawn told him and wait on the nightstand, while she brought something to drink, a chamomile tea.
"Here, a little chamomile tea, will help us relax after physical and mental fatigue" Cody grabs with carefully the hot cup, tastes very well, he wasn't of the people who drink tea, but this could help when he had insomnia.
"This tea is delicious, where you bought it? A cup of tea would come good to relax me in the nights," said Cody, asking the moon child.
"Well, you can get it on the market of the town, just tell the seller that you are my friend, and he will give you a discount."
"I am still surprised how much love nature. I had never met someone who moved to a forest zone, leaving the city behind" Dawn leaves the cup on the table, the city brought back memories not very pleasant.
"It wasn't exactly because I would like to. I had some differences with my parents about my ability. All happened so fast, when I realized, was already arranging this old treehouse to live. Don't have it easy, but the energy that the universe gives me the strength to move on," Dawn regret to say too much, those are personal things. Cody drinks all the tea and stands up, extending his hand to her, now she is confused.
"I haven't had a comfortable life either, my father is very strict with me, and that's why I spend most of my time on the computer. Also, I don't like to talk about my mother. Life could be bad for us, but now, we have each other, yes, we are the opposite. You love nature, and I love technology, but opposites attract, oh, in this case, the weird ones like us" Cody dedicate a small smile with a look that transmitted confidence. Dawn watched him without words, never expected to find such a bond with Cody, fell accepted. With a smile and a very slight pink in the pale face, she took his hand.
"Of course, that's why we are friends" they saw each other eyes, but the moment was broken suddenly by a light shriek. Dawn, realizing where came from, ran into a hole and took out a squirrel, the same squirrel of the night they meet, but the animal looked very sick and seemed to be suffering.
"Oh no, Vanessa doesn't get better, it worst that I think, please resist" suddenly, Dawn was desperate, she had already done all-natural ways to cure the little squirrel, but didn't help, the snowstorm had been too much for the squirrel.
"She needs veterinary help, give me a moment" Cody take out his cell phone and dial a number, she looked for a piece to keep warm the animal, don't hearing anything of the conversation that Cody had on the phone.
"She is dying. What we do?" Dawn was already on the verge of tears, couldn't stand to see an animal suffer, more when she takes care of her since the squirrel born.
"We need to go to the town, trust me, I promise she will get better" without hesitation, they left the treehouse and began to run. Dawn was holding the squirrel in her chest. Her mind was so distracted that she didn't see a branch with thorns about to crash in her face.
"Look out!" Cody put his arm to protect her and the animal. They reached the beginning of the forest, where there was a bicycle, carefully, Cody placed Vanessa in the box in front of the bike.
"Hold on tight" Dawn circled her arms over Cody's stomach, the geek didn't waste time, it was a trip where several motorists showed displeased by beeping. They arrived at a white building on the edge of the town, quickly entered, where DJ was waiting for them.
"How is the squirrel?" DJ asked, also worried.
"Terrible, I don't know if she will make it, we need your mother attended her immediately, that's why I call you so suddenly," Cody explained as he handed the squirrel carefully.
"Mama is the best veterinarian in the town. We will do everything possible to help her. I will ask you to wait in the waiting room" DJ went into a room, it only remained to wait. Cody decided it was better to leave that environment and be in the backyard.
"I'm afraid something will happen to her, I am scared" Dawn tremble with worry, Cody couldn't help but calm her and showing his support.
"Everything will be ok, calm down."
"I saw Vanessa came to life. Her mother was my friend when I was a child when her time came, I promised to her, I would take care of the baby...sure you think I'm crazy" Dawn lean her head on Cody's shoulder, while he caressed her blond hair.
"Have faith that everything will go well, Dawn. Everything will be fine" they spent an hour of uncertainty until DJ´s mother came out the door with an expression of relief.
"The poor squirrel has luck, one more day, and would be already dead of hypothermia, I think...oh god! Cody! Your arm!" when Cody saw his arm, he was shocked that he had a bloodstain all over his left arm area, didn't even feel it until now.
"Bring bandage and aloe vera, I'll take care of this," Dawn said. DJ´s mother doubts a second, but she had to continue with the business, only help them because they were his son's friends.
"Hey, I am fine...auch, hurts a little, hehe" Dawn cleaned the blood, she uses the natural remedy on the wound so that it wouldn't get infected, and started to bandage it.
"It's the least I can do for you, don't know how I appreciate the universe I meet you# they both smiled. Although Cody couldn't stand the sensations of scratching the wound area, they went to see the squirrel that would have to stay awhile in observation. They thank DJ and promise him they will hang out soon. It was very night, Cody's father would be traveling the weekend for work, and he didn't want Dawn to return to the woods alone and at night.
"Dawn, do you come to sleep at my house? It's already very dark, and it seems that it will be a cold night again. I don't want you to get sick because your home is not very warm, if..." the naturalist put the finger on his lips to shut him up, his aura showed to the moon child he had no signs of sexual desire, and he wanted to spend more time together.
"I accept your proposal Cody, just don't spy on me when I go to the bathroom."
"I'm...not...a pervert," Dawn laughed, his face in shame looked so cute.
"Relax, it's just a joke, come on, it's getting late" with that, they set out on the road to Cody's house, where now it would be Dawn who discovers the geek way of life.
