Ravens Fly

[ღGracie]

Raven walked slowly through the sandy beach. Over his right arm he carried a bow and a sack of arrows hung on his back. His deep, brown eyes scanned the area looking for others, it seemed deserted. For a moment, he thought of making it his home, a place to start a tribe. Then he heard something...something like footsteps. He reached for his bow, taking it off his shoulder. Quickly he strung it and had an arrow ready to shoot. Walking on, he turned behind a rock and looked around once more.

Who's there?

He called loudly enough for any to hear. A neckless then fell around his neck and laid softly against his chest over his shirt. It was a bear claw...Lowering his bow, he brought his gaurd down. Then, he sat down on the rock he had turned around and thought. About it all. The life he had left...The wind blew, rufling his shirt and a scar on his shoulder became visable. The scar from his past...he would never forget...

ooc;not a very good post, I have to get used to RPing with humans again.

»What the hell is he doing here? Kaya asked herself. Kaya had her bow in hand, and a bag of arrow slung across her shoulder. In her other hand she had a number of different plants for herbal remedies that would cure that nasty cut on her left shoulder. A tree branch had fallen and scratched young Kaya right across the shoulder.

»"Who's there?" she heard someone yell. Despiter her painful injury, Kaya drew an arrow and fed it to her bow. She pulled it back, but then noticed a bow lower from behind a rock. Still nervous, Kaya kept her bow aimed and called out.

»That is a question I should be asking you. I own this land.

x.Quickly he stood up at the voice he heard. He reached for his bow again, but stopped when he saw the girl aiming her own bow at him. Quickly he saw the gash on her shoulder. He smiled slightly, and unstiffened his shoulders. A slight breeze came up blew the sand slightly. It was then he noticed the bearclaw around his neck had become visable, and quickly hid it under his shirt once more. He nodded slightly at the girl and took a step backward, hoping she would lower her bow.

Sorry, I didn't relize this land was claimed.

x.Yes, it angered him a bit, he had hoped this land could've been his, but maybe it still could be. His gaze quickly looked over the girl before him, she looked about his age. Looking away, his gaze went to the waves crashing over the shores behind him. Mind wandered again, even though he tried with all his might to keep it in place.

I am Raven...

He whispered softly, not really having time to think of a way to introduce himself.

x.xWho was this stranger? And more importantly, what kind of coward must he be to lower his bow to a woman with a bow of her own? Kaya laughed quietly to herself. She did not cower down to the stranger, despite the throbbing pain of her shoulder. What else was she to do? What if, right as she lowered her bow, he raised his and fired at her? This was just like Kaya, always doubting those not close to her. She even doubted those close to her. The last one she loved has left without a word. The day before he left, he had spoken to her. You doubt those close to you, Kaya'aton'my. That's not an admirable quality he had said to her. Kaya was the kind of person that was strong. But that night, in the shadows of her teepee, secretly, she had cried.

x.xHer eyes left his bow for a moment, and during that moment she studied him closely. He had hidden some sort of... necklace under his shirt. Squinting, she tried to make it out, but she couldn't. Her eyes moved up, and met his. The dark brown orbs seemed so full of mixed emotions, similar to her own. The way he held himself gave her a signal that he had no intentions of hurting her. So slowly, Kaya lowered her bow with her eyes still locked on Raven's. Raven... his name was Raven...

x.x I am Kaya.

x.xKaya felt silly just saying those three words, but it seems as those were the only ones that she could manage at the time. There was something about his eyes that just shocked her. They weren't anything special, but... they were. They had this feeling about them that made her stomach turn. Why, she hadn't felt this way since... since she had first met the one she loved. That was it. Kaya had fallen for him.

x.He tried to ignore the looks she was giving him, but it was difficult to stay calm with a bow pointing in his face. He watched then as she finally lowered it and looked him over. He smiled slightly, not knowing what else to do. Eyes tore away from the oceans and went back to the gir. He met her gaze as she spoke her name to him. Kaya... The sound rang in his ears for a moment when he releaised the silence had returned. The only sound was the crashing of waves on the shores. Mind franticly searched for something to say, but couldn't find anything.

x.He blinked once, trying to break his gaze from her's, but couldn't. Something was keeping his eyes locked to her's even though he tried to look away.

So this is your land?

x.He was shocked at his the stupidity in his words. He was just looking for a normal conversation starter and that was all he could come up with? He began fiddling with the bearclaw again, keeping it grasped in his hand. Becoming bored with it, he hid it under his shirt again and sat down on the rock behind him, waiting. Thinking. Gaze returned back to Kaya, looking her over once more. She was pretty. Yes. Mind shook itself out of its daydreaming state and he relized what he had just thought. Oh great.. He smiles slightly, but it didn't last to long. He quckly tore his gaze away and returned it to the oceans.

x.xA questioning look was cast on him. What kind of question was that? From the way he looked at her, Kaya guessed that Raven had fallen for her as well. She felt like a fool for even thinking that, but deep in her heart, she knew it was true. He gazed at her the same way that her first love had. Her heart fluttered for a brief moment, thinking of love. She liked to think about love. It made her feel... good. She like being loved by someone other than family. It didn't happen very often though. The attitude she came off as having made her seem intimidating. She wasn't really, though. Once someone had the nerve to get to know her, Kaya was a nice person. Hardly anyone took that chance though.

x.xCautiously, Kaya took a few steps towards Raven. She stopped for a moment, looked at him, and then continued walking. Finally, she reached the rock that Raven was sitting on and sat down next to him.

Yes, I discovered it a few weeks ago.

live for tomorrow…

x.Gaze flicked back to Kaya as she began walking towards him. He smiled lightly back to her and met her eyes. Yep. He had fallen for her. He continued watching her, as she sat down. His gaze was then torn from her and he looked strait ahead. He knew what had happened the last time he felt this way about someone, and it wasn't pretty. Love...So seldomly did it end well.

x.The bear claw lay coldly against his chest, something else to remind him what could happen. That was it. Could... Turning his head, he looked back at her as she spoke. Her words rang in his mind. Repeated. At least she was talking to him. It was a start.

x.Arm rose, only to be placed back over Kaya's shoulder. He sighed, thinking. What if she didn't feel the same way about him? He had to take a chance. His mind went blank and his heart took over. It wouldn't be a suprise if he didn't remember what had happened at this very second. He leaned over, about to kiss her.

x.He could feel his heart in his chest, and his breathing seemed to stop. Everything was silent. Even the crash of waves on the shores stopped. What would she do? Slap him maybe. It couldn't possibly be worse then...Mind went blank again as heart stopped him from thinking of the pain. This could work out. They could be together, right?

x.xKaya's heart jumped when Raven put his arm around her. It was warm and comforting; two feeling she hadn't felt in a long time. Not sure what to do, she laid her head on his shoulder. Her own was beginning to throb again. It was probably because her heart was pumping so fast.

x.xWhen Kaya saw Raven move his head toward hers, her eyes darted around them. What was she supposed to do? She could kiss him. It would be so nice. Love's first kiss was always the sweetest. Or, if she was feeling particulary b.itchy, then she could turn away, slap him, and run off. Kaya decided with the first one.

x.xTheir lips touched for a split second, and then once again. There was electricity flying through Kaya's body. The third time, Kaya made it a real kiss. Her lips ran along his. After a moment, Kaya slipped her hand into Raven's, fingers interlocking. Then, she moved her other hand and placed in on his shoulder. This was love. It was real. And it wasn't going anywhere.

x.Woa... Everything in him seemed to buzz when she kissed him back. Very unexpected. He felt her fingers intertwine with his. This was everything he knew it would be. Or at least, some. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, and it felt good. Her kiss was gentle. His arm slid from her shoulder and over her waist. It was then his mind finally came back into realization. His eyes opened and he pulled away. They didn't even know each other and already they were kissing. Not always the best way to start a relationship. He wanted this one to work out. Taking a deep breath, Raven turned back to lok at her again. To see a reaction to what he had did.

x.He could hear his heart beating in his ears as he sighed softly. His shoulder hurt like hell already. Lyrics came without knowing, but they were mainnly to himself. If she didn't hear, oh well. And if she did. Be prepared.

wow....

x.It wasn't meant for her to hear, but so what if she did. It wouldn't hurt anything. Right? Questions seemed to form in his mind, of everything he wished to know about her. But...where to start. Lyrics stayed silent. His breathing was coming to fast to concentrate on asking questions now.
