A Flower Waiting {Anna Marie & Coran}

Suddenly, I break into a smile, but have no idea why. Maybe it was because instead of finding a complete stranger, I found someone that I know. Besides the smile, I blush in embarrassment to my red, puffy eyes.

"Hello Coran. How are you today?" Although I try my hardest, the grief in my voice still is there, making me sound valuable. Then I remember I have an arrow pointed at this boy. Sighing, I bring the arrow down the the ground, stabbing the moist ground with an arrow. Suddenly, I sit down, leaning on an oak tree, almost too tired to stand. I guess it would be really easy for Coran to kill me, so I should get up, but I just couldn't.

I watched Coran's face closely, and saw he was either troubled or angry at something, probably me. Sighing, I nodded as he would know if I was lying to him, so I just spoke the truth.

"Well, you know how I twin little sisters?" I didn't wait for him to answer. "Their names are Sapphire and Diamond. This morning, I took Diamond out for hunting lessons, just in case something happens to me. But I let Diamond out of my sight for one second, because I was skinning a rabbit, when I heard a scream. I killed the bobcat that attacked her." By now, my voice had gone down to a whisper, but I still had to finish my story, but I had tears in my eyes. "The last words she said to me was that she loved me." I wiped away a tear from my cheek.

Confusion spread about me as Coran said sorry. Why would he be sorry for something I did?"But it's not your fault, it's mine. Why would you be sorry for something that you didn't do?" But I gratefully leaned my head on Coran's shoulder, and it fit perfectly. Luckily, the rain didn't touch the two of us because we were under a pine tree, the perfect protection for rain.

I sighed but in some strange way, I was it was slightly amusing that Coran was stumbling with his words. For a while, we just watched the rain trickle onto his blade, cleaning off the dirt and grass. Suddenly, I felt a strange urge to just stay here, forever, in this very moment.

"I am glad that I am alright too. If I had died instead of Diamond, I wouldn't be with you right now." Was that wrong? To want to be here right now? I don't think so. Suddenly, Coran stared into my eyes and I felt as though he could feel my soul, and I could feel his. I smiled as I just stared into his hazel eyes, wanting to im-bed those eyes into my mind.

I smiled, my stomach tickling with butterflies. Did he really just say he liked me? Warmth began to pulse through my checks and I giggled, something that I haven't been able to do in a while. "I like you too, Coran." I waited, wondering if this boy would kiss me, or if I had to kiss him first, hopefully, he would.

The kiss was nice, warm and gentle. I smiled, his lips tasted of mint. Then, he leaned away and suddenly, I wanted more than what he gave me. Smiling, I leaned in again, pressing my lips to his. Two seconds after I leaned in, I leaned away and I smiled, still looking into his warm hazel eyes.

Suddenly, I hear something, something is moving in the shadows. I stand, my arrow locked to the sound. A huge, wild dog came out of the woods, it's teeth bared. Without hesitation, I shoot, hitting the gray animal straight at it's eye. Swiftly getting to the body, I see that the dog is still alive, but that is quickly over with a slit on the throat. Picking the body up, I place it on a log, ready to be skinned but instead, I turn to Coran. Although I do skin and take out the insides, I hate to do it. "Would you like to do the honor?"
