Morgra
had been found. As Inferno pinned her down she laughed to herself.
She'd never had so much fun in her life. A deep sigh escaped from her
maw and as Inferno was so close, she could sense his warm breath on
her face, so sweet and tender. Morgra twisted and turned under his
deep frame trying to escape but she unsucceeded. Finally, he lifted
himself off to let her catch her breath. Morgra could feel it too. A
thrilling sensation throughout her body. She stared at Inferno, only
a few metres away. She inhaled and growled.
"That
may be the first."She
laughed. "Yet
you're so elegant. I'm not sure how to .."
Her
voice came to an abrupt stop. She looked at the ground and found a
pebble to swipe between her paws, "Inferno,
do you believe in love at first sight?"
She
was extremely cautious that she might've said too much, so she never
laid eyes on him for a while. Inferno smiled and padded closer to her
once more, kicking another pebble with his paw. He pushed it over and
pushed it against the pebble Morgra had. His pebble was broken in
half, and so was hers. He pushed them together and they shaped
together perfectly. Like two sides of a broken heart.
"Well....
I used to believe in it.... But now I'm starting to think love at
first sight is something to be reckoned with..."
He
blushed and looked up at Morgra, before tracing his eyes back to the
two stones. They fit together perfectly. It was probably snapped in
half somehow, but Inferno and Morgra had the two pieces to put it
back together again.
"Do
you think we're sort of like them stones? Well, not all hard and
small and grey but how they fitted together perfectly.... Like two
sides of a heart..."
He
padded slightly closer to her. He couldn't contain the feeling that
swelled up in him when he looked at her. Morgra stared at the
pebbles. The zest of it was strange. Was it fate that the two rocks
would bind together and become one? Morgra's heart stirred. And she
stared back at Inferno.
"Perhaps
you're right. Love is a passionate substance. These pebbles, they
are speaking to us."
Morgra
let out a silent howl. Then she looked at Inferno under her whiskers.
The cold cut through her, yet between the two there was fire. Of
course their was fire. Inferno was the pyre. Morgra she was 'the
sight'. She couldn't really label herself. The 'cub killer' was an
old legend. What was she now but a Kerl? Perhaps, a Kerl no longer.
She walked over to Inferno and pressed her maw tightly into his fur.
She inhaled his scent. He nuzzled her forehead with his muzzle and
lifted one paw, to pull the rocks in between him and her. He
desperately wanted to tell her of something, and now was probably the
time to. He opened his maw and his velvet voice filled the
air.
"Morgra...
Standing here with you now makes me feel like love at first sight is
an understatement...."
He
felt his aura burning up inside him as he began to feel more and more
shy.
"What
I'm trying to say is....I...am kind of in love with you...." Morgra
pulled away her maw to stare deep into his orbs. She smiled and
sighed.
"I'm
glad you think that. My devotion towards you can be fulfilled.
Inferno, you are my fire." Morgra
sat next to him and stared at the pebbles.
"It
is so different. I thought, after my past. Nothing would ever happen.
But you, it's strange. ...Fate?" Morgra
licked her maw hungrily. He grinned and then sighed also.
"If
I am your fire then you are my match. I picked you out of the
matchbox because the rest are quenched, but you; you are the one who
can light me up."
Morgra
smiled. Then she walked a distance away from him with a frown on her
face.
"How
do you handle water?"
Morgra
again licked her maw. He looked at her for a minute and then
spoke.
"If
I stay in water for way, way too long I'll die... But that isn't a
problem because I don't exactly stay in water for twenty-four hours
straight... Other than that I just lose my fire power for a little
while and then it comes back again."
Morgra
nodded slowly and nibbled at her paw. Inferno was watching her and it
slightly bothered her
"Inferno,
what…"She
paused, not thinking what to say. "Do
you have family?" He
turned away and looked at the ground solemnly.
"My
real family is dead. But I have Kai and Aeb. I love them so much...
I'll never let my past corrupt anything again... Not like what
happened a while before... Gah... It doesn't matter."
He
nodded to Morgra slightly and sprinted off, his tail between his legs
and his head low.
"I'm....
sorry..."
