Kyle & Bra

Prologue

Kyle had his prey trapped in the hollow tree stump he was perched on. He growled at the fluffy white bunny quivering inside. He was about to swipe down inside to grab it when a strange sound assailed his ears. Bunny forgotten for the moment, he got up to follow the sound to it's source. It was a strange sound he'd never heard before. Kyle caught a glimpse of someone sitting on a boulder near a small stream. Kyle went down on all fours and crouched closer to the little girl. When he accidently snapped a twig under his paw, her head shot up and looked around. Even though Kyle was as still as he could be, she still saw him and gasp.

Her clear blue eyes were full of surprise, and he noticed an odd due upon her cheeks. Moving very slowly he took another step toward the unusual creature that looked some what like him but different. It was a female, and she sat as still as a statue on the rock. He stopped mere inches from her feet and watched her run a small hand across her eyes. Kyle watched in fascination as a perfect drop of rain sprang from one eye and slid down upon her cheek. Reaching up, he caught the small droplet on a finger and brought it to his lips. He licked it off his finger and was surprised to find it slightly salty and not at all like the rain drops he'd tasted.

The girl sniffed and continued to look down at him. She was very strange. She didn't have any thick fur on that he could tell. Her spring coat of hair was way too short. He would have considered her a bald animal had there not been a great amount of hair on her head a shade of which he'd never seen on another animal. It was a sea-green color. Maybe she was a river nymph, or an ocean nymph since salt water came from her eyes. Kyle leaned forward and sniffed a strange foot. It didn't' smell much different from his own, covered in dirt. She made a strange noise when his nose touched her foot and, he glanced up at her. She had teeth somewhat like his own, but not. Kyle spread his lips like she was doing to show her his teeth, but she screamed. Kyle backed up several feet from her and heard someone else holler back some distance away.

She still sat very still, and in a moment he'd crawled up on the boulder with her. She seemed to be trying to figure out whether she should be on the rock or not. She'd put one foot on the ground and had moved over, but she hadn't left. She tilted her head to one side and looked at him with curious eyes. Leaning forward, she reached out to touch his paw. Her paws weren't so very different from his own. He had furry paws, and her's were bald but there were still five toes on it.

"Bra!!" someone shouted from behind him. She looked up and smiled instantly. "Be very still and don't touch it."

Kyle didn't understand this strange language. It was unlike anything he'd ever heard in his ten summers.

"Kyle!" his mother hissed from the bushes. "Come here quickly!"

"But I..."

"Come now!" Kyle crawled back off the rock as a ball of light flashed passed him and exploded the patch of ground in front of his shoulder. Kyle's mother burst forth from the brush, but not before another ball of light was released behind him. It's impact sent him flying forward onto his face. His mother quickly gathered him up and took off through the brush.

"Bra!" he heard the strange language behind them.

Kyle shook his head and crouched lower in the thick foliage as he heard the man shout again. A large white ball flew over the net and landed a few inches in front of him.

"I'll get it!" the girl called heading his direction. Long aqua-green hair came into sight as she bent down to pick up the ball. Kyle leaned back further into the brush and felt the branches give way before they cracked. He became instantly still as she looked up right at him, and clear blue eyes locked with his golden ones.
