Healing with light

Hu Li and Hei walk the quiet lonely path in silence. For awhile, she cannot understand why this is happening. All she wanted is for the tiger to give up killing Sheng Qin. She just want to talk. In the end, she is destroy. 

After along time, they are reaching the gate of the capital but it is closed with soldiers guarding. Hu Li look at Hei and realised that he is bleeding. 

"Go now. I will return to my hide out to recouperate. I will find you later when i am heal."

"Hei... "

He reach out to touch her cheeks. He touch the wound on her cheeks and nose. 

"Your pretty face is injured. Go use some magic to heal it. The human use those cream with have scars. You won't be pretty." 

"Hei why must we destroy her?"

"She is not listening. Besides that, we are defending ourselves. If i did not do that, we probably will at the cliff there now. Fighting till morning. She cannot be save from what i know. It is better to destroy her. "

Hu Li feels sad and did not know what to say. Hei quietly hold her hands. 

"One day in far future when you think back, you will know that it is for the best. Now go back into your hiding place. Don't let anyone see you healing yourself."

Hei watch Hu Li leap and disappear behind those tall walls without the guards noticing anything strange. Hei grimace as the pain that was inflicted before Hu Li arrives. That tiger had slash his chest and arm. Even he have stop the bleed, the wounds are deep. He slowly walk into the dense forest and morph into a little fox and run away. 

Hu Li leap into Sheng qin's bedroom after she remove the spell on the bedroom. She quietly close the window when she turn around, she see Sheng Qin is sitting up and watching her from his bed. She see the floaters circling around him. 

"He tried to get out of the room."

"He was puzzled and angry. We can't do anything."

Hu Li feign indifference and walk to her couch. She sits down and remove her boots. 

"Where have you been to? Did you know that i tried to leave the room but there seems to be a wall that i can't see. " 

"I .. don't know what are you talking about..."

"So you can go in and out without a problem?"

"Yes. Let's sleep. You need to rest well. Later you have to start copying books." 

Hu Li pretend to sleep while Sheng Qin walk to the door and touch the air. The invisible wall is now gone. He thinks about it and look at Hu Li's direction. 

Hu Li did not get up from the couch for a long time. She remain where she is till she listen to his breath as he sleeps. Till she is sure, Hu Li gets up. She use her spell to cover the bedroom again. The floaters are circling the bed of Sheng Qin. With her legs cross in louts style, her original face appear. A bright glow flowing inside out of her. Surrounding her, healing and repairing the scars. The wind blows gently on her. the Moon outside the window send its light into the room. Sheng Qin who is pretending to be asleep. He take a peek to see if Hu Li is asleep, instead he see a bright light surrounding her. He can't see the upper part of her body. He just feel that she is acting strange. He push himself up to and try to see what she is doing. Sheng Qin quietly get off from the bed. He walks towards Hu Li even though he can't see well enough, he still wants to know if Hu Li have any secrets that he should know. "Ms Bai" He said softy. However there is no reaction. He sits beside her and touch her hands and her body is cold as ice. He panics and touches her face. Because she is healing, She is meditating in deep state.He starts to panic and raise his finger to her nose, she is breathing deep. He is relieve at that and go look for thick clothes to wrap around her. As he search his wardrobe, Hu Li already heal. The bright light retract back and a fox open her eyes. Her golden eyes see a man search for something in the room. For awhile she cannot transform back but knowing that he what he see is different from the other people. She try to relax and watch him. 

When he finds one fur coat, he return to the seat beside her. He drape the fur coat on her shoulder without realising that she is awake. 

"Sheng Qin."

"Ah, you are awake? I called your name awhile ago. Don't go out in such a late night. You make yourself sick. See your hands are ... cold..."

He hold her hands but they are warm. He raise his head and look at her. He raise his hand and smoothen her hair down. 

"Miss Bai... no matter what is the reason, what secrets that you hold. I will still want to stay with you this life time. I want to stay with you till our end of life."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What is there to be afraid of? If you want to harm me, you should have done that long ago, in your cave house. Instead, you heal me and you follow me to here. Soon we are going to be married. I am grateful for your existence. You are created for me and i am created to wait for your arrival." 

Hu Li feels a strange tingler in her heart. Her fox ears move slightly. She tilt her head slightly and wonder why she feels so strange. He then push her head gently to lean on his shoulder since she doesn't know how to react. He smile to himself and the light floats dance around the room.
