Eagle's Eyes
By Stor-E-Phool
The sun felt hot on my neck as I ran. The faint sound of Kyoko's steps were my only solid comfort; the one thing I felt I could truely hold onto. That and her voice.
It amazed me whenever I heard her talk. You could never guess that her world was silent just by listening to her. I was envious.
I stopped running. Where were her footsteps? I couldn't hear her. Frantically I raised up my arms, searching. I could feel the dirt beneath my feet grinding as I shuffled about.
Finally, a cool hand grasped my wrist. "I'm here, Ren. Sorry."
I nodded. "Why have we stopped?" I asked, tapping on her wrist.
"Tired. And the sun is going down." I nodded, and kneeled to find somewhere to sit. "Ren, there's a good tree over here we can sit under," Her voice was a few feet away now. I followed it, then sat as I felt the sting of the sun pass as I came under the shady leaves.
"Can you believe it?" She sighed happily, for the first time since our capture. I heard the crunch of bark as she leaned back against the trunk of the old tree. "We did it."
'She's right,' I thought, propping my jaw on my fist, 'We're free.'
That was the thought that echoed in my mind the most after all of this.
Freedom.
A/N: Um-kay. I officially hate writing chapters in Ren's POV. He's kind of boring, now isn't he? I hope I portrayed his blindness well.
This was just kind of a filler. No suspense or action, just a bit of fluff. The next one will be, too, I think. I can't wait to get through to the plot! XD It'll be so much fun to write! :) Well, until next time...
Love,
