Autumn's Beginning, Autumn's Breeze [2]

**Billy, Ramere is my human/mage. Caspan is the avian.**

Ramere-

I raised an eyebrow, regarding the man with some amusement.

"Where do you see wings on this body?" i asked, smiling. "I am just as human as you are. It is my cousin that is an avian. But, i suppose we could use your help..."


Caspan-

I caught Kayla before she fell, casting the mage a viscous glance.'

"What did you do!?" i demanded, taking a threatening step forward. He didn't move.

"I did nothing," he shrugged. "She fainted. But she is right, she has not ever seen me in her life. She is not the one I'm looking for, but if you happen to find a woman of about 20 years, fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes please don't hesitate to let me know."

He was just about to teleport when he turned back, another thought occurring to him. "Oh, and she goes by the name of Cara and runs around with a wolf."

Then he disappeared. I shuddered and picked up Kayla before lifting into the sky and skimming low over the buildings to find the others.

Christian

"I'm glad, do you trust us?"

She nodded.

"Good." My stomach made an annoying painful sound wanting food. "Are you hungry?"

Cara-

"I could eat." She said looking at Fire. It had been a while sense they had eaten. "I couldn't put y'all to anymore trouble."

I'm going to a quieter room. Fire grumbled getting up and leaving the room.

Christian

"It wouldn't be any trouble," I insisted, "my mother loves to cook and bake, we've got over a thousand different types of breads and pasties and such."

"Really?"

"Really." I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the kitchen.

"Oh my..." she said when she saw my mothers latest bakeries.

Cara-

Cara hadn't seen so many baked goods in her life. "W-wow." She stuttered, "H-how does she bake so much stuff?"

Christian

"Lord only knows, I think she's trying to make us fat."

Cara laughed out loud. It was the most beautiful sound in the world. Her perfect lips begged to be kissed.

I stepped towards her, "Am I scaring you?" She shook her head I leaned foward and kissed her.

Cara-

Cara's heart skipped a beat as she leaned into the kiss. She had only known him for a little while. When he pulled away she was breathless. She looked at him surprised and her hands went to her lips. She blinked once, then twice.

"Y-y-I-I-I." She didn't know what to say.

Christian

Merde I had scared her. "D-did I frighten you?" She shook her head. Okay so I had just left her breathless, was it from shock or was I really that good of a kisser? I didn't dare ask. "So about the pastries..."

She had left me idiocied. I didn't even know if idiocied was a word!

Cara-


"W-why did y-you kiss me?" She asked looking at him still surprised, This didn't make sense. Why did he seemingly like her? He couldn't could he. No one had cared before but Fire. "I-I put your family in danger."

Christian

I surpressed a laugh, "Because I wanted to."

"Y-you wanted to?"

I turned back to her, "yes. I wanted to."

Cara-

Cara looked at him shocked, "W-why would you want to?" She asked looking at him. "I mean, I'm just a wanderer, there isn't anything special about me? Well unles you could a mage following me."

Christian

I shook my head, "You're very interesting, you've lived with no one to trust for so long, I don't know, there's something pretty in that, you're beautiful."

*All I had.*

Cara-

"I've had Fire to trust." She smiled, "But I'm not beautiful." She bit into a pastry and looked out a window. She thought about it. Her parents had abandoned her, even though Fire said it was for the best she didn't believe it. They just didn't want her, no one could. But Christian seemed like he did. But she didn't know why.

Christian

I stood beside her, "can you see your face in the reflection?"

She nodded slwoly.

"How can you see that and not realize you're beautiful?"

"Because-"

"Because you are."

Cara-

Cara frowned, "I don't think so." She said turning away. She looked at the pastries, she had never seen most of them in her life. Of course she cooked most of her food on her way. "What will your family do, to stop the mage?" She asked changing the subject.
