Chapter 8: I'll Follow You Into the Night.
(Samuel's POV)
She was absolutely beautiful. No mere mortal could ever look like she did, She was far more beautiful than any of her kind as well. Nothing could ever describe their beauty. They were hunters, but still graceful, and elegant. They were swift, and wise. Sly, and cunning. They were what mortals would call a fox.
She danced happily around the oak tree outside her hut. It was her 17th birthday, in one year we would be married. I would always love her, always. She completed me, she made me whole, and she understood me. She was there when others were not; She would always be my Flower.
She skipped back over to her mother, they looked almost like twins; the only difference was their age. They both had the same black flowing mid-length hair. It blended so well with the night that you couldn't see it at times. Their eyes were always green, always sparkling with that strange light. No matter how foul of mood you were in, the light could make you smile. They were a pair.
"Samuel," Sora called out to me as she looked at her daughter. Sora had treated me like a son since her daughter had announced the news of our engagement. We were so different, I didn't think Sora would approved, but she did. "Sam. Could you fetch one of the elders, I would like to speak with them quickly." I nodded and ran off to catch an elder.
I always ran errands for Sora, it was all I could give her for all the help she gave me over the years. I was born without the Kitsune gene, so I was human. But Sora, and her family had treated me like I was one of them.
I was almost to the Elder's hut. They all stayed together, the only exception was Sora. The Elders were the elders in our tribe, the wisest, the ones with the most tails in their Kitsune form. Sora was the oldest Kitsune in all the tribes, light or dark. She was that of the Getsuei family, the most power family of Kitsune known. She protected us all, she was like a mother to all. She cared so much for us.
I reached for the door, then screaming. There were shouts everywhere. The elders rushed from the hunt, everything went chaotic within seconds. I found myself running back to Sora, I knew she'd be the first one the attackers would go after. Then such a terrible screech, a scream coming from her hunt. Oh no…not Sora.
I screamed and hit her attackers, this did not phase them. I was stupid…They were Vampires. One cornered me in the back of the hut, I was trapped. All I can remember was that dreadful burning, oh how it felt like hell's fires were consuming me. Then I heard the cry of the one I loved. She came at my attackers with such fury it seemed like she was possessed by the devil himself. Then I saw her face, her sweet, beautiful face. "Kysa," I whispered "I love you." Then the world went dark.
I walked this path alone. I'd been searching for my lost lover for 2,000 years only finding evidence that she was alive, and still out there. My search had led me here, to this small town in the North-West corner of America; Forks, Washington. I didn't know what could bring her here, but obviously something did.
Maybe, my search would finally end, and I'd see her smiling face once again. Maybe I'd get to run my fingers through her silky black hair. And maybe I'll get to truly smile again when I see those sparkling eyes.
"Kysa," I whispered to the night time sky. "Where are you my love?"
