CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO FLY ~*~ Cross knew nothing. Then suddenly there was a shock to his system. His eyes opened by pure reflex and the bright haze of the desert shot into his retinas. He was blinking again now. He was starting to wake up. He licked at his lips and tasted... was that water? No it couldn't be. It had to be blood. But the next second his vision was clearing. He could see the trees again. Palms like back on the island. And there was water - a whole pool of it. And the dark form of a wolf looming over him. Usually the boy was suspicious and guarded towards strangers - but not now. Thirst had taken hold of his mind and all he wanted was help. He didn't care where it came from. He eased himself up onto his side and looked down. He was at the edge of an oasis thingy. There was water. Real water in the middle of the desert. All he wanted to do was leap forward and thrust his muzzle into it like a starving wolf on a deer. But then he thought of Orica. He looked up at the stranger with emerald eyes that suddenly shot wide. "Please- he said, gasping, almost choking on a raspy, dry tongue. "My sister-" he was set into a fit of coughing - not dry coughing like he'd had before but wet coughing. He must've swallowed some of the water. He had to turn over onto his belly and hang his head. Between the wracks of coughing he managed to burst out. "She's back the way I came - under a rock-" He went back into coughing, his mind still too sunbaked to think clearly. He hadn't even noticed that he'd called Orica his 'sister' instead of his cousin. I WILL LIVE TO SEE YOU DIE |
