Chapter 7: let me be your eyes
Amalie started to leave when Zinani turned again. A few teardrops had escaped her eyes and were now trickling down her cheeks. "Amalie, wait!" she said, nearly exasperated. Amalie stopped and turned back around to face her friend.
"I'm so scared…" Zinani said, confiding in Amalie. The other cub sighed and walked over to lean against Zinani.
"Come with me." She said. Zinani froze.
"You mean outside?" she asked.
"Yes, outside."
"But I can't see anything!" Zinani protested.
"It's ok, I'll guide you, let me be your eyes." Amalie said, nudging Zinani to her feet. Zinani gulped loudly and stood. The two cubs' shoulders touched and they started out, Amalie walking slowly, trying to make sure Zinani was ok.
"This is so weird, I don't like this…" Zinani said, her voice wavering as she was on the verge of tears.
"You can't spend the rest of your life in a corner Zinani, it's going to be hard for a while, but you'll get it." Amalie said.
As they descended the steps, Zinani nearly fell a couple times, but each time Amalie was there to catch her and Zinani felt safer.
Dandelion petals swept past the two and the sun seemed to be shining somewhat more brightly. (You start to hear music.) Amalie took a deep breath and then exhaled.
She turned to Zinani, who still had a few tears running down her cheeks. Amalie couldn't imagine what her friend was going through, but she wanted to let her friend know she'd be there for her no matter what.
"When it seems that
The world doesn't know you
And the pain is too much to bear
Always know that
I'll be here beside you
There to catch you
Should you ever fall
(chorus)
Let me be your eyes
Trust in me
There'll be no surprises
Walk with me
I'll tell you no lies
It'll all be fine
Let me be your eyes
My friend, we will always
Stand strong together
Side by side
So strong together
Let's compromise
Let me be your eyes….
(chorus)
Let me be your eyes
Trust in me
There'll be no surprises
Walk with me
I'll tell you no lies
It'll all be fine
Let me be your eyes
Let me be your eyes
Trust in me
There'll be no surprises
Walk with me
I'll tell you no lies
It'll all be fine
Let me be your eyes
italic Let me be your eyes….
Let me beee……your eyes…… /italic
Amalie finished her song and then turned to Zinani. Her friend was smiling. "Thank you Amalie…" she whispered before rubbing her head beneath Amalie's chin…
