You quickly make your way behind a wagon. As you rest your back against it. You could still hear the music being played, hear everyone's laughter, the smell of the food, their lanterns shinning down. Inhaling you look up at the night sky.
Just being here, it felt right though. You weren't really sure about it. But it something about this place, you didn't know why. But it was just something. Everyone was so welcoming, so loving. It felt so warm, as you think how everyone seem happy to see you and the twins. As if they knew about you three before. And with Naven, how greeted you three. And he called you his granddaughter.
You kept looking up with your sad eyes. Everyone's laughter, it reached your ears. Grabbing yourself, for comfort, as you drop your head. Your hair fell covering your face.
"Zahra"that same kind voice from your mind calls to you.
You grab yourself even more, as your hand started to tremble.
A child's laughter was in your head, as an image flashed in your mind. You felt yourself dancing, as everyone around you clapped for you along with others. You where laughing, having a good time. Switching to others to dance with them. Though one of them, scooped you up. Twirling you around. In the arms.
A hand reached out as it touches you on the shoulder"Zahra". They call to you, making you look as you turn around to find, Cheetera there."Are you alright?"she asked you.
You look at her, as you quickly try to regain your normal face back. Standing up straight. She waited for you to say something."I'm fine."you tell her.
"Are you sure? You left really quickly."she tells you"Everyone is having a really good time."
You knew she was trying get something out of you. She had to see how you looked before you looked and found her behind you.
Slowly you nod your head"...If you want to talk about it, I'm here for you."she tells you patting you on the shoulder, as she leaves you.
You just nod your head, as you turn your back to her walking away from her. You disappear behind the wagon. Exhaling you just look up, just staring into the sky. Closing your eyes. You think back to what Naven had said to you and twins. About your parents would be proud.
"...I don't have any parents."you tell yourself."But-"you think back to that small little flashback you had, once you where out from the attack from your father.
It had to be tie to this, it just had too. Everything about this place. It seem to click with your flashback, as you thought of it. When you did, something sharp pulse through your head. As you grab it, slamming your fist on the back of the wagon.
Your head started to throbbing from it, you try again to think about it. But the same pulsing came to your head. This time a bit more. As you fall down on one knee.
The pain lasted a bit more. As you get back up slowly."Zahra!"someone runs to you, as they help you up"Are you ok? Whats wrong?" it was Tygra.
He helps you stand up, as you regain yourself. He waits for you to say something. You slowly come to it, as you look at him. He return your stare, though he was looking more so for any other injury. You couldn't take what he was doing. You push yourself away from him.
"Stop"you tell him, as you walk away from him a bit. He looks at you, not understanding. But he follows you anyway. You heard him"Leave me alone."you tell him.
He didn't say anything to you,which was getting on your nervous. As you look over your shoulder at him, he didn't pay you any mind at all. You couldn't take him, follow you. Turning around quickly, your hand out, as you go to strike him.
But he catches your wrist, which surprised you. He held onto your wrist, looking at you. You avoid his gaze, as you look down."Just leave...me alone."you tell him softly"I just want to be left alone."
"Funny, you don't seem like you want to be."he tells you, he was right about that."...Zahra..."he calls your name softly.
You didn't answer him. The music was now, very faint. As was everyone's laughter. Before you could say anything, you felt your hand on the side of his face. Making you look up quickly at him. He held your hand closely to the side of his face, as if it was the dearest thing in the world to him. Which it seem to be right now. Eyes closed, till he felt yours on him.
He opens up his golden eyes, as he looks at you. With those same eyes as before, your eyes drop. You then close them,as your hand tightens into a fist, that you yank.
Only to be stopped by Tygra, as he quickly grabs you by your wrist. Yanking you to him, it happen so fast. Your eyes shot open, his face was much more closer to yours. No inches apart at all. His other arm, made it's way around your waist, as he tightens his grip on you. Your hand still in a fist, which he lets go of. Using that arm to wrap around your waist more.
He was pushing you more into him. You needed air from him, which he could tell. As he lets you breath, you inhale slowly. Looking at him, he looks at you. All was explained in that kiss he just gave you.
Using his finger, he lifts up your chin. So he could look into your eyes. He then lightly plants a kiss on your forehead. Which lasted long as well. Till he breaks it.
"..."Tygra, before you could say anything. He melts into the shadows.
