chapter eight. A new friend
As they painted the steamboats on the river she thought she heard a noise behind her she turned quickly to see nothing. She stopped and turned looking back at the river then to her painting only to see a long blue stroke across it.
"Damn it..." she mumbled softly.
"What happened?" he said looking up at her to see the mark sighing "Try and be careful... Maybe you can work around it" he said trying to make her feel better.
"I guess I can" she said sighing looking off to the river with a deep gaze.
"Are you ok?" he asked her worrying for his little sister.
"I'm fine" she lied smoothly and quickly.
"Ok well do you want to finish you painting?" he looked at her hands covered in paint of all colors.
"Mhmm I think I'll finish, why don't you go find us some lunch..." she suggested smelling gumbo in the air her stomach growling in agreement.
"Sure" he exclaimed all ways willing to find food to eat.
He ran off leaving his canvas sitting there. She peeked around only to see another amazing painting of the river but not with her in it with a steamboat going in the water. She sighed wondering why he ever tried to give up his love for art. She turned looking back at hers. It looked good but not as amazing as his did and she knew it never would. She found her self closing her eyes taking in ever inch of world around her. The birds flying above her, the water splashing on the rocks, and the sweet calling she could hear drawing her closer to the water. She opened her eyes to find herself on the railing she found herself so entranced by the waves and the water splashing she just wanted to dive in and let it take her away. As the let her body start to fall she heard a call from behind her.
"Brittny! What are you doing? Don't!" he screamed. She could hear him running now but she wouldn't let that stop her. Just as she went to fall over the rail she was snatched up. She glared to see it wasn't her brother holding her but a black wolf holding her in his grip.
"Now now we can't have you dying now can we?" he said his blue eyes holding her interest.
"Who are you?" she questioned him still held by his eyes.
"That'll all be known in good time now won't it?" he said smiling letting her down and running off before she could get his name.
"Brittny are you ok?" her brother yelled running up behind her.
"uhh yea..." she said staring off where her rescuer just disappeared too.
"What were you thinking?" he asked shaking her so she'd look at him.
"I was just drawn by the water... that's all trigger." She said pulling away from him.
"You've been out here to long... We're going home." He sighed packing all their supplies and the lunch he had gotten for them slowing walking back home her behind him the hole time looking at everyone trying to find the man that saved her.
