Kate:  ACK!

My eyes burned as I kept them from crying. My lip quivered and my breath was short. Stormslicer's wingbeats where slow and lifeless, he was mourning in his own way. Tears rolled off my face and fell onto the lifeless purple body. StormSlicer landed in a small clearing, far, far away from the clubhouse. It was beautiful here, there were crystals surrounding the perimeter and they bathed the ground in their purple glow. StormSlicer dug in the ground a couple of feet deep and I placed him.

"Goodbye old friend," I said, my voice wavering. StormSlicer pushed the dirt back over him and then let out a sad and low moan. I walked over to him and rubbed his face, he closed his nadder eyes and lay down. I sat next to him and hugged him, StormSlicer was always there for me when I needed it, now it was my turn to return the favor. I heard him whimper, and I whispered

"It hurts Stormy I know, I how this feels because I have already lost everybody in my family.  It's just you and me now.  The only true Olson's left, I cried into his scales for a moment and he cuddled closer to me. He rested against me and we sat like this for a long, long time.

I sat sketching Sniper in my book, I rounded his face and made his claws sharper. StormSlicer sighed on the floor next to me. I rested my head on my arms and sat there in total darkness for a minute. I heard footsteps and someone landing behind me. I brought my head up and heard Aidan ask me

"You better from earlier on?"

"Y-yeah, k-kind of..." I stuttered,

"Hey, I know what would make you feel better," He said sweetly as he clasped a bracelet onto my wrist

"Wow, it's beautiful. But why are you giving it to me?" I asked in confusion

"Doesn't it remind you of something or someone?" He asked tilting his head just a little.

"Yeah, you," I said automatically, I realized what I said just now and flushed, my cheeks turning bright red.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, no, I said it.  He is going to hate me now.  He will see how worthless I am. (Duck attack!)"

"Kate, do you really mean that?" He asked, his face pulling into a smile and then he blushed too.

"What do you mean Aidan? Is there something I said or...?"  I responded with.

"It's just that, you're Kate Olson. It really means a lot hearing that from someone like you... it makes you special, you know?" He said smirking

"Aidan, of course, I mean it," I said smiling back

"Do I really mean it? I don't know.  I mean can I love again, after all this loss?"

"So... you like me...?" He asked innocently

"I-I-I never said that..." I stuttered.

''"The signs are there, it's pretty obvious..." '' He added.

''"I-I-I..." ''I, again, stuttered.

"I knew it, it's true..." He commented. I flushed again and turned away, my face burning like a fireworm.

"Kate, you know you can't keep ignoring me..." He said pushing more.

"But I am a nothing child, I am worthless.  I am not worth you, you deserve better." My thoughts screamed. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug. I buried my face,

"Kate, why are you ignoring me?"  He asked. I looked at him but didn't say anything

"Are... are you embarrassed?" he asked laughing a little

"N-no! I-m not! I just... aaaagh..." I managed to get out.

"You may love me, but remember... I'm always going to love you more." He said in a gooey voice.

"ack that's a little gross. Ha, I told that to my mom and dad when they said it to each other. one-day Kate you will have feelings for someone too. He will act the same way," There words rang in my ears

"Now we don't have to be awkward around each other. Just make sure the others' don't find out about this..." He said again.

"its gonna be awkward though, no matter how hard we try." My thoughts said I gave him a hug, it felt nice to be loved.

I sat in bed that night, feeling lonely without Sniper. My lip quivered again and my eyes threatened to water. StormSlicer stomped through the room looking for sniper. I let my eyes water this time,

"He is gone, buddy!" I whimpered. StormSlicer came over and nudged me with is horn. I rubbed it and let him moan. I sat up and looked out at the glowing crystals,  I pondered and asked StormSlicer

"Is it worth me loving Aidan? Harn or whoever runs this war is just going to kill him and I am just going to be more depressed." I sighed running my hands down his smooth scales. He grunted and looked over at me.

"No, I love you more. Just don't tell him." I said laughing as I collapsed onto a hug with him. We starred up at the crystals. I felt down in my pockets and felt an unusual piece of paper.
