Hide and Seek
By Magelet
Reaching slowly up to grasp the nest rock, Galen Drache pulled himself up onto another ledge. Pausing, the golden-haired
young man closed his eyes, searching his mind.
'Keller,' he moaned to himself. He felt half-empty for the lack of having his soulmate with him. Actually, it seemed
like he couldn't feel her at all- like she was- he gulped- dead. 'Oh God, Keller.' He thought, 'Please be alright'. He wouldn't
be able to live if she'd done something to end her life because of him, or for any reason. He was almost sure that she had.
Maybe he could just throw himself off this ledge now. He took a tiny step towards the edge.
*Flash*
"Hey Galen, come find me!" Keller yelled through the forest. A few seconds later the holler was followed by the scream
of a panther.
He grinned, brown-gold leopard-like eyes shining as he shifted into the golden cat. The 'shifter prince took off,
dodging trees and underbrush, searching his mind for Keller's.
Establishing the connection, he tried to search her mind and find where she was hiding, but she had put up mental
walls, blocking him from the information.
Searching, Galen heard a yell, a human one, and looked up.
"Bonsai!" Keller yelled and jumped out of a tree as she shifted and landed, as a panther, on top of him, pulling him
to the side into a roll.
They wrestled for a while and ended with Keller pinning him down.
"Ha! I win! I can beat a soft-footed price any day!" she gloated, teasing, "You didn't find me, then I won wrestling
against you!" she told him telepathically, nuzzling him with her muzzle.
"I let you win." He replied, the same way, grinning as much as a cat could, rolling and pinning her down "Because I
love you."
Shifting, his soulmate became human once more and kissed his soft, black nose, giggling "You're squishing me!" at the
warm weight of his feline body.
Galen shifter again back into the gold-haired fairy-tale-looking prince. He was still on top of her holding her down.
She sighed. "Galen, I have a mission. We're leaving tomorrow, but you can't go. We have to infiltrate a Night World
girl's school, and the girls live there and aren't allowed to leave, so to speak, and not supposed to have boyfriends. Needless
to say, you couldn't go as a girl, and we wouldn't be allowed to see each other. Theirry has you here with Delos, and Maggie's
going away for a bit to see some of her family. They think they have the last Wild Power. It's weird. They guy's a witch and
supposedly his soulmate has another soulmate. It's all screwed up. And Iliana would like to talk to you about some witch/shifter
thing."
Galen smirked in return, "If you'll be gone, we'll have to make up for that now." He whispered, kissing her lightly,
like a butterfly alighting on her nose.
"I can hardly see why I tried to push you to Iliana now." Keller told him, "I loved you so much that it ached and I
could hardly do it, but I kept telling myself that you two were destined for each other. I'm glad she's not as stupid as I
thought at first. Originally, I thought she was a silly airhead. I love you." She kissed him, lifting her head off the ground
to meet his lips.
"I'm gonna miss you, Boss." He told her, kissing her left cheek
"I'll miss you too."
"Be careful and come back to me in one piece, okay? I know you've done stuff like this before, but it's still
dangerous. I'll be waiting for you."
"I'll be fine." She told him, rolling her eyes
"Are you comfortable?" he asked, smiling, seeing the look in his eyes, Keller smiled and nodded. "Good." He whispered,
his mouth pressed against hers, running his tongue over her lips.
