After

The sun peaks from the horizon as if its fighting the coming night just to see the last of the Tajal party like they will never see the sun again. Shadows dance along their casters to the beat of drums and chanting shaking to the flickers of several bonfires. Akela sits on a log holding a cup in her hand but everyone else is moving in a circle around the fire smiling and drinking trying to get her in but for once Akela doesn't feel like having fun.

Someone sticks out their hand trying to get Akela into the circle. She sits up smiles big and chugs her drink burping right in this girls face. "Ohh im so sorry but I have to go pee"

"I don't blame you Akela" Kesha says as Akela walks of the side trying to hide from the View of everyone When she feels Massive eyes looking down on her like she's rabbit being hunted.

"you don't need to look back Akela he won't do anything right now" Akela stands their shaking as Chief Yanon looks at her between the crowd of people partying with him.

"Chief why do you look like that" Deja asks him she stands sipping her drink slowly.

"It's nothing, but Akela, she seems to be holding on to her pain"

"Really Chief"

"see she leaving the party, you should go make shur she feels welcome"

Deja starts to blush and she looks away from Yanon "okay" she walks off

"Deja" she stops in her tracks and looks back Yanon he looks her in eye's serious without saying a word and nods in the direction Akela went.

Deja walks through the drunk and partying tribesman "hey Deja were are you going" "oh I just have to use the bathroom" "HAHAHa you and that Akela girl I hope she's not the first to get to you"

"Heeh what was that" she tilts her head looking them with a straight face, the men get quiet "don't fuck with me"

she turns her head and starts walking to Akela "now enjoy the party, I'll be back" their jaws dropped as the sounds of partying people continue.

Akela finds herself sitting over the edge of a Clift in the back of the campsite. She sits face buried in her legs thinking.

"what do we do Akela" quite Akela just stares over the Clift. "Akela we have to talk, what happened that was."

"you almost died"

"I can say the same" Akela hides her face "Kesha, I was weak, just like that day, I I could save anyone and it happened again I was going to let you die"

"Stop! Stop saying I, the minute I showed up Kesha It became we, We almost died, and the day we both lost everything, for no reason we have to suffer together"

"And I promise You're quest is mine to, I mean for while I couldn't even see a point to helping this random psycho girl or even how to help her like I'm, not even real and yet you reminded me I can still Feel"

"Akela" Deja see's her crying

"Huh, le leave me alone" she starts crying harder "Don't look I'm, I'm" Deja sits down next to her

"Okay Akela real it back and you might have a chance with this weird chick"

Akela sobbing uncontrollably "I I I" breathing funny.

"It's hard Akela. I'm barley strong enough to deal with this life"

"I never had anyone to mourn tell now, no one really ever loved me not like I know what that is being different from the Tajal it was just tolerance, the kind that comes with Ooo you're different lets be friends' lets fuck how could you just live with us and not be grateful"

Akela is still crying but it's slightly quieter

"But their was the lady who found me who made shur I wasn't a corpse buried in the sands, My Granny shade"

"this chick I seriously am not into this sappy shit" Kesha say with impatience.

"She was the strongest, and worked the hardest" Deja looking up at the moon.

"it's only because of her that I didn't kill myself as a kid, she took me in raised me after I was just left alone in nowhere I can even remember their faces just black figures that tucked me in one night and when I woke in the pitch black night, nowhere"

Akela gets quieter and looks to the side with one eye face covered in tears.

"I walked of days not knowing where I was when I just lied down and waited for death"

"then she found me dug me up and and loved me, she was something"

Deja leans back on her hands looking up "But I wont ever forget her, and I will be strong for her"

Akela reaches her left resting it on top of Deja's hand. She looks down at Akela's hand looking at her with tears and snot smeared all over she stopped crying the side of her head on her knees.

"do you feel alone" Akela Ask

"Ohoooo you poor thing" Kesha whispers

"Yes always" Deja looks back to the sky holding her hand

"I couldn't not see it the way everyone loved me forced to love me and I just didn't care in fact I hated it, always I needed something, Hunted something, Taking what ever I wanted it's just like It's never enough and everyone around me is the same. It's just like I don't know how to be happy or I'm just made, wrong"

"But their were the ones that kept us going right" Deja ask

"yea Morrow and my mom where pretty frustrating but they really cared"

"If it wasn't for Yanon and luck I'd be dead"

Akela inches closer to Deja. "Is it worth it, I mean what's left for you"

"I'm, I don't know. just that without Yanon and the rest of the Tajal Granny would be sad and I just stopped She would hate me throwing away everything."

Akela gets right next to her she looks up at her chin with big eyes and Deja looks back they both lean in for a kiss as Deja's hand runs up her arm. Centimeters away from each others lips Deja grabs her face squishing her cheeks together. "Don't think Ill let you get Away with my first kiss Again" half of her face begins Transforming and the hand holding her face transforms too like shadows crawling over her Deja's hand moves to the top of her head grabbing hold and covering her eyes Akela feels a small sensation on her lips.

Deja stands up after pushing Akela's head back and transforming back to human when Two eyes can be seen right behind where they were sitting Deja yet to turn around to notice it.

"HEY GALSS WHERE YOU BEEN" Chief Yanon and everyone else just appears shouting with torches and drinks in hand. Akela and Deja freak out Akela so much she falls of the Clift.

"Aahhh Akela" Kesha cries when Deja Catches her leg hanging of the edge they all drop the act and come to help her pull Akela up even Yanon.
