Eagle Height

Lilly studied him, the way his head drooped with his exhaustion. She sat beside him and laid his head on her shoulder carefully, not wanting to wake him.

Silver sat by Lilly and petted her head "finally we can just relax...." his arm fell and he fell asleep

Lilly chuckled lightly, pressed between the two men. She felt herself drift into sleep, and she moved so RedBear's arm was around her.

A few hours later he woke up,it was the middle of the night.He was about to get up when he realized Lilly was on his arm,he smiled.He slowly moved his arm,hoping he wouldn't wake her up.

RedBear looked at the moon then back at the forest,he began walking through the woods.He looked at all the scenery and took a deep breath of fresh air.RedBear found a small circular clearing and he laid in the middle of it,his arms and legs spread apart.

Lilly began thrashing in her sleep until she finally jumped up, running her hands through her hair, brushing the leaves and dirt from herself before standing. She felt she needed a walk in the moonlight, so she began walking through the forest in the opposite direction of the others.

After a few minutes he got up and walked back to the group when he realized Lilly was gone.He wasn't worried,he assumed she just went for a walked like he did so he used his bear sense of smell and began walking towards her direction.

A few minutes later he caught up. "I see you like going for midnight strolls as well." RedBear smiled. "A beautiful night,the entire forest light by moon light.Peaceful and quiet."

Silver woke up and looked and the moon "hello.....niece.." he stood up and went to look for the others "enjoying the moon goddesses embrace are we?" he smiled and pointed towards the moon "meet me niece...a.k.a. Reds cousin"

"Just needed some time to clear my head," Lilly said, gazing up at the stars, "It is pretty out here." The moonlight shown on her eyes, making the gold flecks visible, and she smiled. She seemed more fragile than usual, like she'd break down any second now.

RedBear's face frowned. "Is something wrong?" RedBear grew concerned.

"Just a bad dream," she replied, still smiling, "I'm fine, though," flashbacks of her nightmare, flashed through her mind, and her smile faltered.

"Are you sure?You don't seem like your happy normal self." RedBear looked at her,his red eyes shimmering in the moon light.

"I'm sure. It's just a nightmare. I promise," she smiled again, swaying on her shaky legs.

RedBear looked at her then picked her up and put her on his back. "Your legs still asleep?" RedBear said jokingly,though still concerned about the nightmare.He wanted to read her mind to know what it was,but he didn't want to invade on her privacy. "So where you wanna go?" RedBear said with a smile.

Lilly laughed, "I was trying to shake the sleepiness from them, but this is better. I don't care where we go. You pick."

RedBear began running. "There's been something I've been wanting to do for a while." RedBear looked around as he ran.

A few minutes later they arrived at a pond,the water almost crystal clear. "A midnight swim." RedBear sat her down on the grass.Then smoke surrounded him,when it cleared he was in a swimming suit. "You wanna swim?" RedBear smiled.
