Chapter 6

                                    

                                          
Peter and I have been sitting on the sand for about half an hour, without talking. And again, it's a feat for me not to talk for long. It must be said, we haven't talked about what happened, the kiss. I can't find the words myself.

                          
"I'm fed up." Said he breaking the silence.
                          
I look at him with a frown.
                          
"I'm tired of waiting for nothing. I want you to tell me something!" said he, turning to me.
                          
"But you want me to tell you what?" I said defensive.
                          
"The kiss. I want you to tell me what you thought, if you liked it."
                          
I look into his eyes for a few moments. I end up looking away and lowering my head. 
                          
"Tell me something! Anything, Tarah!" said he, feeling him take my hand.
                          
I turn to him and take his hand right out of mine. He frowns.
                          
"I already told you. I can't." I say by pinching the lips.
                          
"What do you mean? You're not going to tell me you didn't feel anything?" said he, looking at me.
                          
I rebase my head and say nothing. I hear him laugh, but with a yellow laugh. He gets up and I raise my head. I look at him, and he's heading into the forest. He was going to leave, and he suddenly turns to me.
                          
"I'd be lying to you if I told you that I didn't feel anything." He said, keeping his eyes on me.
                          
He disappears and I always fix his location. I turn to the ocean, and watch the waves crash on the fine sand. I close my eyes and put my face in my hands.
                          
I'm really stupid! Of course I felt something! This feeling of being loved, I felt it. But now he believes otherwise.
                          
I feel something, caressing my arm. I raise my head and turn to the source. I see that it is Winter. I smile sadly, and she comes snuggling against me, putting her head on my thighs. I caress her head.
                          
"I'm glad you're here," said I, looking at her.
                          
She looks up at me.
                          
"What did I get myself into? Now I'm feeling guilty. When he kissed me, I had a memory of the past. A happy memory. But instead of telling him that I had loved, I didn't say anything." I say with my head down.
                          
I feel Winter sticking a little more to me. I pass an arm behind his back, and hold it close to me.
                          
"Thank you for being here. Once my mission is over, I'm sure you'll like it at home. Over there, I also have a wolf friend, his name is Kol and I think you'll get along just fine." I say with a smile.
                          
She looks happy, seeing as she's pulling out her tongue.
                          
---------------✵---------------
                          
I walk in the forest, under the warm sun. I sometimes pass my hands over the trunks of trees. I can feel them happy, glad I'm here.
                          
I finally arrive at a clearing. I suddenly have an idea.
                          
I make appear a bow and arrows, and also targets. I notch my bow, and direct it to the first target. I take a breath and let go of the rope. In a noise that splits the air, the arrow gets stuck in the middle of the target. I bring up other targets, and I do the same thing. I was going to shoot another arrow, but somebody is in front.

                          
"What are you doing here?" I asked a little coldly.
                          
"What do you mean, "what are you doing here"? I'm telling you, this is my island! I'm allowed to move around whenever I want. Unless you kill me before I tell you more." Said he pointing at my bow, pointed at him.
