Do You Believe In Magic? - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Sable's POV

"No, no, I'm a photographer. I shoot pictures of animals not shoot animals. I couldn't shoot any living thing."

"I am so glad. I don't think I could stand to speak to anyone who uses animals in that way."

We continue to walk and talk and I learn that he is 22, just two years older than me. He grew up in Germany but has decided to live in the States now. He was adopted right after he was born and when he learned that his birth parents were American, he felt the need to try to find them. He had no brothers or sisters, just himself, as his adoptive parents had recently passed away in a horrible fire. He decided he needed a change of scenery so he he was. We finally get to the path to the Sloan house.

With his hand outstretched, "It was a real pleasure meeting you Sable, I hope we can see each other again."

I shake his hand and reply, "That would be great. This is my cellphone number. You should come for dinner sometime and meet my friend Willy."

"Just call and I'll be there. Take care and keep in touch."

I watch him leave and feel a little lonely inside. He seems so nice and normal. Not what I'm used to at all but it doesn't matter because I can never get close to him, ever.

Aron's POV

I must get closer to her, it's the only way to protect her. She must never suspect who I really am or the prophecy will not come to pass. I must talk to Willy before I see Sable again to see if he recognizes me. He could be my biggest ally.

Willy's POV

Where is that girl? Every time I go looking for her she's nowhere around. I'll bet she's gone to her favourite spot on the mountain. Maybe she'll find some peace there, as she's certainly not going to find it in the city. This place will be good for us both and now that I've accomplished the first part of my plan I can rest a bit easier. I think I'll make us something to eat and when she comes home we can have a nice lunch and talk about where we go from here. Soup and sandwich is about all I can come up with, wish I was a better cook but it'll have to do. I hear her coming now, better get the table set.

Sable's POV

Something sure smells good, is Willy cooking? I didn't think so, it's only soup, but it was so thoughtful of him to have lunch made. He even set the table, will wonders never cease! I yell, "I'm home and everything looks and smells so good. I'm just going to go wash my hands for lunch."

I come back and sit down at the table. Willy puts a bowl of vegetable soup in front of me and an egg salad sandwich. I must be starved because I scarf the food down so fast I start to burp. "I'm sorry, my bad."

Willy laughs at me and asks me if I was up the mountain this morning?

"Yes, it was beautiful and peaceful. I saw Brenin and his mate Maebh. They have two cubs, a female who I named Seudag and the male is Eirian. They are such a strong family and the cubs are beautiful. Seudag looks just like her mother, all white and proud while Eirian looks just like his father, grey and majestic."

"I'm so glad that you found Brenin. I know you miss him when you aren't here. Did you do anything else?"

"I met a man up there, his name is Aron. He's living in the Sloan place and has come here from Germany. He seems really nice and I plan on inviting him to supper soon."
