"She not leave Sayla yet!? How many moons you need!?" I shouted at Tensay. Sayla/Batari had been here for 15 moons and still the same.

"I am trying." Tensay says. "Batari spirit refuse to leave Sayla."

"Sayla grows weak." Jayma said. "Last night Sayla sleep till sun rise then fall again. I thought she died, then wake up and claw me. Can two spirits live in one body?" Jayma asked.

"I do not know." Tensay said. "Spirit and body different."

"We must free Sayla." I tell them. Jayma press her fingers against my shoulder, I look to her.

"Batari want talk. She not speak anything else." Jayma said.

"I do not want to talk to Batari!" I tell Jayma.

"You have not talked to Sayla ether." Jayma tells me, I look down to the feet in shame for she was right. I cannot bare to see Batari and Sayla fight over body. I cannot watch anymore, I have not seen Sayla in ten moons. My hand grips moon rock tightly, it only good memory I have before Sayla lost her body. I been busy with Izila attacking villages to keep mind off Sayla, I have Roshani take care of her.

"I will talk to Sayla when moon goes down." I tell Jayma.

"Sayla not appear for three days." Jayma tell me. "Ask Roshani, he not see Sayla ether." She tell me. I take bow and leave Tensay hut, I make my way to Sayla cage. I moved Sayla into cave cage where we kept Udam. I walk to Sayla cage, see Roshani talking to Batari.

"So that why you join Wenja?" Batari said.

"You lead Izila to end, I could not stay with you." Roshani said, Batari eyes goes from him to me, making Roshani look at me.

"Takkar, Batari and I speak." Roshani said.

"Leave us." I tell him. He run out cave faster than tiger running from predator. I look at Batari, she stare at me, even though she look like Sayla, I did not see the woman I love.

"Takkar…" She spoke.

"Batari.' I spoke back.

"I make deal."

"Deal?"

"Let me go, Izila will stay away from Wenja, live life peacefully." She tells me.

"No." I tell her.

"Izila teach Wenja ways of-NO!" I shout to her.

"You leave in spirit world! Give me Sayla!" I shout. "I want Sayla, only thing you give me!"

"Sayla and I one. We no separate." She tell me, she stick hand through gap of cage, touch my arm. "But I give you something better."

"What?" I asked, she pull me towards cage, make my hand rest upon breast.

"We become one, both clans." She said. "Then you have Sayla, I will be free, we both happy."

"Not same." I tell her, I pull my hand away but she pull hand towards her, forcing me against cage. She then let go, my body fall to ground. I turn body around to get to feet, once on feet, I open the cage and enter. Batari eyes widen in fear as I grab her face, pushing her body against rock of cave. She smile:

"Kill me Takkar, kill Sayla as well." Batari said. My hand let go of her neck, making her fall to ground. She cough and groan before laughing, she look up to me and smile. I walk fro, her but stop when said:

"Wait! You want Sayla back?" Batari said, I turn body to look at her. She lays on bear skin I brought in for Sayla with smile on her face. "I tell you how to save Sayla."

"Why?" I asked.

"I want you." She tell me. "I want to feel you."

"Sayla only one."

"Sayla, Sayla, Sayla…do you want to save Sayla?" Batari asked. "You fuck me."

"No."

"Fine, I no tell you then. Moon coming soon. Sayla will take over soon." She tells me, she then crawls over to wall and lay. I walk out of cage to hear Batari talk to wall in Izila. I leave cave till moon come, Sayla come when moon come, full or not. I come to her with food and water. Sayla lay on ground when she see me, she turn to side, her back to me.

"Sayla?" I spoke.

"Hmm?" She speak.

"Why you lay on ground like crying baby caf. You jumpy in moon light." I asked her, she turn body to me.

"I tired." Sayla said. "Batari use body strength."

"You let Batari run around."

"She not realize we share body." Sayla said as she turn her body to me. "I am tired. I am hungry."

"I bring food." I tell her, she grab my hand.

"Stay with me. Lay with me. I need your warmth." She tell me, I open her cage then lay with her on bear skin. She look tired, black markings under eyes, skin lose color and teeth turn different color. She was getting weak.

"I love you." I tell her.

"I love you too. But why leave me? Why you no come till now?"

"I…I do not like to see you this way." I tell her. "Batari hurt you, I cannot stop her. I hate it."

"Batari always hurt me…" She tells me.

"What is Batari to you?"

"Batari sister. We have same mother here but different mother. My mother moon goddess, did not know till few moons ago."

"Batari tell me you Izila, it true?" I asked, she move her body close to mine. She rest her face to my neck as her arms wrap around waist.

"I am…please do not hate me." She tell me. "I fell down river, Wenja man find me by Izila river, take me to Wenja village. He raise me as his own till he die."

"Then you are not Izila, you are Wenja." I tell her, I feel her lips form to smile against my neck. My eyes close and sleep takes over me, but only for short time. Sayla lips pressing against mine wakes me form my slumber.

"Takkar…I want you." She whisper to my ear. Her lips press against my ear, I feel it rise slowly.

"No Sayla." I tell her but she did not stop. She push against my chest, making me roll to my back. She then climb on top of me, she leans down to kiss me. Her lips taste like Sayla, it made me want her. Her nails trace my lines of my chest, her finger made my skin crawl.

"I want you." She spoke to me. I push her off me but climb on top of her. She smile as I ripe the animal skin off her body. Her hands touch my face: "Take me beast master." She says, her words lit fire inside. I pull her body down to my stomach, forcing her lips to my skin. She press her lips against me, her head move lower and lower till I feel her claws ripping away my coverings. The cold air hits me as I rise. Sayla eyes widen then smile appear on face.

"Miss me I see." She tell me, her tongue reach out to taste me, my skin crawls at feeling. She never do this before, I like it. Her tongue go up and down, my body feel warmer by- "Takkar…" Sayla spoke, she then crawl to me, face to face. She presses lips again, this time sticking her tongue in my mouth. She never do this before. I grab her hand to force her body around, now she under me. She take deer skin off her body quicker then prey escaping hunter. Her naked form is beautiful, I love her, she my mate.

"Sayla…" I call to her, she look at me with eyes of moon. "I need you." I tell her. Her legs spread apart for me, her arms wrap around my neck.

"Be one with me." She tell me, her voice melt walls of hate for the Izila. I do not care if she is the daughter of an Izila, she is Sayla, a healer, a fighter, a Wenja and my mate. I enter her wet folds, they squeeze me tightly but I enjoy the feeling. I move in and out fast like animal in heat, I love feeling. Sayla only woman will give me this feeling, no other woman can.

"Takkar…" she spoke. "More, give me more." She tell me, I do as told. I move faster inside her, going deeper and deeper into her inner body. She hold me closer, pressing her chest to mine, licking my ear, cheek and neck like animal, branding me as hers for eternity. I am hers for eternity, I am Sayla's.

"TAKKAR!" She shout, her hands grip ground beneath us, her claws dig into dirt, leaving lines as she squeezes me with strength of mammoth. It too much, I release into her, deep into her. Into her womb, so that she will bare me child. I look to her and see her eyes filled with tears.

"Sayla?" I asked.

"I love you…I love very much." She tell me. "I do not want to leave…I do not want Batari to end me." She tell me. I look down to her.

"What do you mean?"

"Batari and I will fuse when moon cross sun. Batari say that is how we can both live." Sayla tell me. I raise my body away from hers, she looks at me and cries.

"Why you not tell me this!?" I shout at her, moon will soon pass sun.

"Batari powerful than me…she always here, me sleeping…" She tell me, I draw myself out of her and get to feet but Sayla stop me. She grab my arm then look at me. "Kill me." She tell me.

"What?" I asked.

"Kill me." She said. "Batari will not leave, we will become one, I do not want that. Please, end me before I hurt more." She begged me, she force my hand to her neck, making my fingers wrap around her neck. "Kill me…" She beg. I remove hand from her.

"No…" I tell her. "I will save you." I tell her, her tears fall down more before getting to her feet. She then walk to rock wall, I look at her back.

"Leave me." She tell me. "Leave me with Batari…she will be awake soon." She tell me. I do as order and leave.

Kikkie: going to end it here. Please review.
