Infinite Possibilities

Virginia

1607

Booth travelled from England and had landed on foreign shores a week ago and was still amazed by the beauty of the place. He had travelled to many places before but none had come close to this; the vast forest of trees untouched by man, the colours and variety of the flowers and wildlife was still astounding. But he was still wary, he had come as protection against the savages which were supposed to live in this area but he still hadn't seen one. Not that he minded it gave him the excuse to explore the new land.

He entered a clearing and heard a splash, his inquisitive side pulled him to the source, he knelt behind a large palm and parted the leaves slightly. Where he saw one of the mysterious savages, he couldn't believe his eyes. The woman was swimming with elegance and grace that he had never seen before, but then again he had never seen a woman swim before as in his culture it was frowned upon. He crept closer to see her in more detail, careful not to make a noise to announce his presence; he was now about ten meters from her.

His breath caught as she began to emerge from the water, he watched the water droplets trickle down her magnificent body and envied the clothes that clung to her body accentuating her curves. He looked at her face framed with long trestles, she had delicate features then he saw her eyes and he was lost. The depth of her eyes was amazing; they looked bright and full of vitality. She was so different from the women of his society who covered their faces and figures, she seemed so pure and natural, he couldn't remember seeing such as wondrous sight in his entire life.

She began to move towards his hiding place, so he moved and began to walk away casually to remove suspicion of his spying activities. He was nearly out of sight when he heard her speak, he had no idea what she was saying but to hear her made something inside him jump. He turned to face the mysterious beauty.

Temperance began to step out of the water into the warm afternoon sun; she closed her eyes for a moment enjoying the feel of the sun on her skin. She began to walk into the clearing, when she saw a man; she could only see him from behind but she knew he was foreign from his clothing. She had heard tales about these dangerous white men but her curious nature won over and she called out to the man.

He turned and she couldn't believe how handsome the man was, he had dark hair that was cut short, a strong muscular body, smooth chiselled features and deep brown eyes, they were so welcoming and loving. She had never seen a white man before and had expected a fearsome beast from the stories that had been told. But she could see nothing evil in this man; she moved forward, she wanted, no needed to know more about him.

They stood staring at each other drinking in every detail. Booth was the first to break the silence; he pointed to himself and said "Booth"

Knowing that must be his name she repeated it and them pointed towards herself "Temperance"

Neither knew what to say next, Temperance was the first to try she spoke in her foreign tongue, receiving a confused look from Booth.

"I don't know what that means"

She memorized the saying and began to walk motioning for him to follow; she began pointing things saying their names in her tongue which he would then reply with his. Some of the pronunciation or mispronunciation made the laugh and they both wondered why the white man or the savage were more alike than they were told.

Temperance looked at Booth's apparel and noticed he was carrying something on his shoulder. She pointed at it; he smiled at it and then took it off his shoulder so she could see it properly. He saw her furrowed brow so he loaded the gun, aimed at a tree in the distance and shot. She jumped at the loudness of the shot and then looked at the gun with amazement; she ran over to the tree and saw the splintered wound in the tree. He watched as her fingers ran over the tree as if she was trying to heal it, he saw the way she was surprised by the depth of the wound. She returned to him and held her hands out for the gun.

"No, you can't use the gun" shaking his head vehemently.

"I don't know what that means" but she knew full well she was being rejected from using the gun, which she gave away by give a slight pout. The gun forgotten for the moment she lay down and stared up at the sky. Booth looked at her, her hair fanned across the grass she seemed so different from all the other women he had ever known he was still unsure if she was real. Still gazing at her she turned and looked at him, a smile touched her lips as she realized he was watching her. He placed his gun on the floor and joined her.

They lay staring at the sky; neither of them realized how much time had past even though the sky had changed from bright blue to dusk. Their peace was broken when shouts could be heard in the distance, as they neared you could make out what they were shouting.

"Booth"

"BOOTH"

They turned to face each other both disappointed that their time together was coming to an end. Still looking into each others eyes Booth closed the gap between them and cupped Temperance's face and kissed her deeply, she deepened the kiss by pulling him closer; they both became lost in the kiss until another shout forced them to part. They both waved goodbye and she disappeared into the night. As they both made their way back to their camps they wondered if their paths would ever cross again, but even if they never did they would never forget each other.
