a secret (lynxist only)

[lynxist]

The walk to the old hay loft wasnt so short, past the river across the darkened woods, by the time they reached there the moon was out in full, Lynxist pulled the two barn gate of the hay loft open with a creak, he went around lighting the oil lamps, as each one glowed so homely. he placed the bags of the rabbits on the floor, lights the stone fire circle in the centre and takes down a rabbit he skinned earlier, and places it on the fire, "you may sleep up there its warmest and safer, this rabbit will be cooked in a while so help yourself, i need to go wash i wont be far away" Lynxist walks out of the barn doors and climbs into a water filled barrel,

* she enters the small hut and went upstairs she'd never been anywhere before except one place but she hated thinking about it she sat the bed and looked out the window to the moon she had never seen it she'd heard of it from all the other cats but had never seen it herself it was beautiful she stared at it not moving just soaking up every minite of joy she felt, she didn't know if she would ever feel joy again* she tugged at the collar around her neck it itched but she was used to it*

[lynxist]

Lynxist climbed out of the barrel, dried himself down and placed his clothes on,he seen storm looking out the top window, she seemed to be in a trance looking at something. with out a second thought he walked into the hay loft and taken the rabbit off the fire and placed it on wooden plates and began to eat, with his mouthful he shouts up to the hay loft "storm the rabbit is ready if you want any" as he carved the meat off the bone with his dagger

[Chacilla Isan]

*she heard him but didn't move she was starving but new she wouldn't eat but decided to go downstairs anyway she walked downstairs and sat down opposite him silent not making eye contact*

[lynxist]

Biting into the rabbit meat Lynxist made eye contact with storm. " are you not hungry or something ? " he carried on eating, holding the dagger up as to point to storm he said with his mouthful " you ...ahmm...you want me to take that collar off, its seems to give you some bother, what is it leather or metal "

[Chacilla Isan]

storm quiet quickly said* no..thank u and no i'm not hungry and i..i don't know *looks at the ground*

[lynxist]

Lynxist put down the rabbit meat. wipes his fingers on his top and looks at storm. "you know its fine to talk and its ok to be afraid of new things. this is my first year outside, i had a collar but not like yours,i was a prisoner. in the land i lived in i was sentanced for the death of my own family, i was put in the hole for ten years no light.no sun.no contact with others, but now i have done the time for something i didnt commit, i now have no collar just my freedom"

Lynxist looks down at the floor and picks up the rabbit meat and throw it over the room into a empty barrel.

[Chacilla Isan]

i...im not sure h..how * her big brown eyes are there instead of emerald ones* i..i havent really met people for ten years either apart from my friends

[lynxist]

Lynxist pours water over the fire, as he walked around with the bucket he gestured with his free hand. as if he was making a important speech. "storm my dear girl. friends will be there as we make them, and when you have no family like me, you need every friend there is" Lynxist turns the oil lamps down to a dim light and walks to his cupboard and opens the doors and brings out a small wooden box. he opens the box to show a set of daggers made of silver, engraved on the handles each one had something differnt one said life... one said love. "these was my sisters she was older then me and when she died i took these" Lynxist closes the box and shuts the cupboard quite fast. " but thats the past. i need to think of the future" Lynxist lays down on the hay bails's "and your future is what you want it to be storm"

[Chacilla Isan]

*looks at the ground* i..i guess i know how u feel when i was older and they took my mother away she gave me this *touches her collar that is very battered and torn* i..i havent taken it off since *looks at the ground upset* but i surived without family because of my friends the only people that could get to me were cats and because of u know my ears and cat like body parts i was able to speak to them and they have been my closest friends ever since...pe...people don't like me they called me and my mother de..evils saying the devil gave us these so they killed her but they kept me i still don't know why but they did...my only food i've had was mice that used to creep in the basement me and my friends used catch them and play *smiles a little through the tears remembering the good times she had with her friends* there was one cat that never left me her name was sand she used to sleep with me eat with me and thought we were sisters sometimes but i..i don't know where she is know *looks at the ground and closes her eyes again crying but as she turned something shiny glimmered as she turned on her collar*

[lynxist]

Lynxist rolled on his side to face where storm was, "what was that ?, your collar it sparkled "
Lynxist pulled him self up to a sitting position,

[Chacilla Isan]
