Shira opened her eyes and looked around to see her on a hill, looking down at the ocean. Before she got up she felt someone lay on top of her and lick her neck. She turned her head and was able to see a golden paw on her shoulder and felt another lick on her neck which caused her to purr and turn her body around.

She saw his smile which caused her to smile back at him. She let out a sigh as he slowly licked her cheek. She then started to lick his cheek and move to his neck. She smiled as she felt him purr. When she stopped they both stared into each other's eyes.

She stared into his hazel-green eyes as he stared into her blue eyes. Slowly he lowered his head to her face, then their lips met.

It was the best thing Shira has ever felt. She had to close her eyes so her eyes would stop rolling. The kiss lasted for a few minutes, but it felt like decades before he slowly moved his head back from Shira with a smile.

"I love you, Shira" He whispered to her and nuzzled her neck.

"I love you too, Diego" She whispered back and started to purr from what Diego was doing.

Diego kept nuzzling her neck with his head while Shira kept purring.

Then all of a sudden they heard someone.

"Well this is cute" They got up to see Gutt with a bone knife in one hand.

Diego ran in front of Shira and let out a roar.

Gutt just looked at him amused. "Aww, Diego is trying to protect his girlfriend. Now that's just cute."

Diego ran up to Gutt and pounced on him. Gutt looked surprised then shoved Diego off of him. Diego ran up to Gutt again, but Gutt was ready and stabbed Diego in the side with his knife.

"Diego!" Shira screamed as she saw Diego on the floor not moving.

She ran up to him and saw his eyes closed and noticed he wasn't breathing. She started to cry on his body.

"Say goodnight Kitty," Gutt said to Shira before he ran up to her.

Shira woke up heavy breathing and looked around. She realized she was on the boat that was sailing home. She let out a sigh as she laid back down.

"I hope that doesn't happen to you, Diego. Please be safe," Shira whispered.

Shira thinks back about her dream. She smiles when she replays the moments.

"I love you, Shira" "I love you too, Diego" Shira smiles as she thinks about those words. She then realizes feels a weird feeling in her chest that makes her smile every time she says his name.

"What is wrong with me? Why do I feel this way every time I say his name? I remember I felt this way when we hugged in that one cave and that's when I realized-" Shira's eyes widened when she remembered when she called Diego handsome and thought that she liked him.

"Is that it? Do I love Diego? Does he love me back?" Shira shook her head to get the thoughts out. "No, I don't think he does. I left him to deal with Soto by himself. I just left him and didn't even try to look for him. I should have kept looking for him and helped him escape. I guess he's right when he said that I left him."

"That's where you're wrong"

Shira got up and looked out and saw Diego on a rock.

"Diego?" Shira asked.

"Yes, Shira. It is me"

Shira lowered her head down. "Diego, I'm sorry. I should have kept looking for you, I never should've stopped. We are in this situation because of me."

"It doesn't matter now as long as we're together, you know I have always loved you, Shira. Come with me." Diego whispered the last sentence.

Shira started to purr and stared into his eyes. They started getting closer and closer.

"There's something about his eyes, they seem different. They don't give the same glow."

Then Shira barley heard "Sirens!"

"Sirens?" Shira thought.

Then she realized that they were looking at sirens then Diego turned into a siren.

But before they were able to get her the ship was turned causing them to slipe. Shira looked to see Sid coming to her and pushed him away.

"Five more seconds and we would've been goners," Manny said.

"Ain't that the truth" Shira muttered.

Shira sighed and went back to where she was.

"Okay, this is weird first my dream, then the weird feeling, then the Sirens. They all have to do with him"

Shira slightly blushed thinking about him and felt the weird feeling in her chest again.

"What is happening. What is this feeling?" She put a paw in her chest and felt it.

"It's my heart, but why is my heart beating every time I say his name?"

She then thought about all the events, trying to put the pieces together. First the dream, then her heart beating, then the Siren.

She then put the pieces together and realized the truth that she's been seeking and now knows.

It was then she whispered the words that came from her heart.

"I love you, Diego. I hope I can tell you that"

In Gutt's ship:

Diego watched Raz go back to sleep then looked out to the sea again.

He only had one thing in his mind. That thing made his heartbeat when he thought it couldn't anymore. It was her.

"I love you, Shira. I always have" Diego whispered.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I noticed people haven't been reviewing and that's fine I just think that a review would tell me that people are reading this story and also people could give me advice on how to fix or do better on a chapter. Just a simple "Good job" or anything like that would tell me that the story is good right now. You don't have to do that it just would help me a bit.

I'll post the next chapter soon and I hope everybody is doing well right now.
