Hiz it's me, SkySnow! Yes, my holidays are coming to an end. Sadly, I am thinking about school restarting... (never a good thought) Oh well! My faithful readers, I bring you the next chapter! Enjoy!!
Chapter One
Kai
I struggled to lift my paws through the light-yet-heavy still-thickening snow. Seeing my breath waft into the cooling night air, I asked, "Where is it that we are going?"
The leopardess turned to look at me. She repeated, "Come."
I shook my head in wonder, was the all she knew how to say?
The snow leopard's blue eyes flicked back to me, she whispered to herself, "Is she the one?"
My ears pricked slightly at the words "the one." Did that snow leopard know something I didn't? Well, that's obvious -- she's knows where she's going, and I don't... I stared at the snow leopard's back as she padded ahead of me. Who was she, exactly?
In the middle of my musings, the snow leopard turned back to me, saying softly, "We're here." I looked up, my bright golden eyes searching for some sign of civilization. But no, all I saw that was any sign at all that anyone actually lived here was a waterfall. Just a huge current of rushing water.
I stared at the gaping current of cascading water as I turned to the snow leopard, asking increduosly, "You actually...live here?" Slowly the snow leopard turned to me, her bright sky-blue eyes seeming to bore a hole into my mind. She nodded her head at me. "You are needed." she murmured, then rasied her voice. "My name is Kai."
I pondered the odd name, repeating it. "Kai." She nodded. "That's correct." As she began following a hidden, mossy path beside the rushing, cascading waterfall, I squinted as I saw flashes of light sprinkle the air about her. Squinting harder, I could see shining droplets of water swirling about the snow leopard. My jaw dropped. How could Kai do that? I focused on the droplets; they seemed to be rolling about Kai in a pattern... Suddenly everything dropped into place: Kai obviously knew how the water moved, but did that mean... I nearly gasped but managed to hold it back.
As I followed the snow leopard, my heart hammered in my chest at the thought. My mind reeled. Did Kai...reallly...?
I shook my head to myself stubbornly, trying to convince myself that it was not true. But the evidence was right there in front of me. But...how?? I shook my head; it didn't matter how, but it was obvious that Kai knew it.
Kai knew water style kung fu!
Plot twist!! Meh! I love doing these!
