Missing You [open]

[kahlilia]

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Time never seemed to go fast enough. Not lately, anyway. It was the last day of school for the year and time seemed to freeze. Lia couldn't stand the wait. Summer was just minutes away. Freedom was just minutes away. Lia would spend her summer in her animal form, practicing transformation and practicing her fighting in her animal form. She had it all planned out. The teacher's voice was loud, it drowned out all the whispered that was going on behind Lia. She knew they were talking about her.

Everyone always talked about Lia. A lot of rumors were about her, actually. Some were true, some where not. A lot were just assumptions. And some about her past. A few of the students always talked about 'I heard her dad killed her mom.' and it really irritated Lia to the point of attack. She wasn't usually violent, but these people were really testing her patience. She just sighed and finally, time seemed to speed up as the bell rang and everyone sprang from their chairs. But by this time, Lia was already out the door.

She was more than happy to get away from this prison everyone called school. Yeah, she was smart, didn't mean she had to like school. She got A's on all her papers and tests. No wonder why some people called her a geek. But it didn't bother Lia. If they didn't want to study, do homework, and be smart; well, it wasn't Lia's problem.

She walked quickly across the school yard. Stopping by the edge of the forest a good 50 yards from the school. Lia's body shrank and formed into that of a lynx. She looked over her shoulder as someone threw something at her. A wad of paper. She just sighed and disappeared into the forest. Why were people so mean to her? What did she ever do to them? Why could Lia just live her highschool life and get out of it.

Sighing as she walked with her head and tail drooped, Lia's thoughts drifted toward Mary, her beautiful mother. At the thought of the beautiful woman, a smile crossed the lynx's lips. Well, that is if a lynx could smile. She wondered what her mother would say to her right now. She wondered what her mother would do right now. She sighed as she realized she came to a clearing and noticed it was night.

"Why did you leave?" Lia whispered, looking up at the sparkling sky. A tear rolled down her cheek as she closed her eyes.

It was a productive day, to some extent. Explained away by the various papers he got in just on time and the test he had in his first and fifth classes, along with various projects that were newly assigned. The young man thought he needed a break. No, he knew he needed a break, lest his brain deposit itself on the walls of his dorm room in some rather interesting patterns. He was downright exhausted by the time the end of the day came around, and the second he stepped out of the school, a wall of hot air hit him over the head like a sack of bricks. It was much too hot and dry out for his tastes.

First he headed back to his dorm room and dumped off all his stuff. That backpack might as well have been filled with cement blocks, heavy as it was. He stopped by the mirror too and reapplied his makeup; whatever had gotten smudged or what had sweat off during the day. Why yes, he was one hundred percent aware that he was a male. Society these days looked down harshly on any male who dared to be born with softer, more effeminate features, much less accentuate and liked to show it off. Society seemed especially pissed off at him, since Tokiie decided to fly right back in their faces on the matter.

Oh well.

The young man settled down for an hour or so with a nice, thick book on human behaviour for a few hours; just until the sun went down far enough so the soles of his shoes wouldn’t melt to the blacktop. Once the sun decided to take a bit of a rest, he headed back outside, where he was greeted with a gush of tepid air. Ah, that’s how he liked it. A little walk would be nice around this time, right? Of course it would.

Tokiie wandered aimlessly for what seemed like forever, or at least until he paused to admire the vast swath of greenery that seemed to sprawl out in front of him. A sign sitting under one of the trees told him that this was the local forest. With a shrug, he headed into the green. Thankfully, he brought a small pocketknife with him, and every few trees he passed, he made a notch in one. It was quiet out here, as the night settled in place of the day and the moon finally pushed the sun out of the sky. The faint chirping of the occasional cricket made its way to his ears. Nice and peaceful.

”I heard there was a secret cord, that David played and it pleased the lord… But you don’t really care for music, do ya?” He sang to the night as he continued walking along the little path. Tokiie did that sometimes; he sang to himself. He did it when he was nervous or tired, and especially if he was on edge. Was he? Almost definitely. ”Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift…”

With open eyes, Lia looked at the sparkling stars. Snap! Lia's head snapped in the direction of the sound, ears erected forward. Her golden eyes peered through the darkness. Seeing a dark figure shaped as a man, Kahlilia appeared in her human form. "Hello?" she asked softly.

Lia had her beautiful mother Mary's heaven like voice. It was soft and soothing, very beautiful and lyrical. It sounded like angels themselves had constructed it. Her faded blue eyes looked into the forest. Blinking once, her eyes turned into those of a lynx.

She saw a young man. He was cute, but she was shy.

Incomplete.
