The Hunted

Livana felt good, as if she was lying down on a cloud. She hadn't slept that well in a long time. She slightly stirred in her sleep when she felt a light tickle on the side of her neck under her ear. She didn't want to wake up, she wanted to sleep some more. The tickle intensified and she moved her head a little. She smiled in her sleep when the tickle stopped but only a few seconds later it started again.


She groaned displeased but opened her eyes to see what was tickling her. Light blinded her instantly and she closed her eyes again taken aback. She had assumed it would still be night because she felt like she hadn't slept that long. She blinked a few times and eventually managed to open her eyes. The tickling on the side of her neck didn't stop and she looked up to see Kal staring down at her. He seemed to be looking at her in admiration and she didn't really know what to think of it.
