the cold cave floor. Even

now that she was curled up, I could see how matted her hair was. How skinny she had gotten. And I saw her body covered in bruises. It triggered something protective deep inside of me. I just barely managed to tell the others to leave the two of us alone. She is fully dressed, but the clothes are draping off her body. They are too big on her now. I remember when we first met. She was so ashamed of her scars, that I never minded them. And if these wounds turn into scars too. I still would not mind, but I know she would. So I want to hide as many wounds and bruises as I can.

I shift back to my human form, not minding I am as naked as I was the day I was born, and I walk over.

want to leave her side, I had missed her for so long. And she had missed me so I wanted her to feel her close to me. I knew in my heart that feeling me close, would make her come back to us, back to me sooner. Still, I did not want to bother Tessie as she was doing her job, and neither did I want her to think I did not trust her. Reluctantly, I got up to leave the room and give Ayla
