“Who’s there?” Luke called out nervously.
A young girl peeked around a large tree in front of them, her purple eyes flashing.
“Aahhhh,” she screamed, “Humans,”
Then she ran. Luke and Kira looked at eachother and realized they were still wearing their disguises. Luke pulled off his boots, then they went running after the girl. As they ran, they could see the girl far ahead of them. Kira ripped off her kimono and took to the skies. She easily overtook the running girl and landed in front of her. The girl stopped in her tracks, and stared at Kira, allowing Luke and Buddy to catch up.
“I’m sorry,” the girl said shyly, looking up at them through her pitch-black bangs, “I thought you were gonna get me.”
“No harm done,” Kira said brightly, “That only means our disguises work.”
“Okay,” she reached up to brush the bangs out of her eyes, making her leathery, almost transparent wings rustle.
“You have interesting wings,” Kira commented.
“Thanks,” the girl said softly, “But yours are better. They aren’t connected to your arms. Oh, by the way, I’m Etlin.”
“Okay, well I’m Luke and this is Kira,” Luke said, stepping forward, “We’re travelers from across the country. We’re headed for the Isle of
Fire.”
“Wow, the Isle of Fire. I’ve never been anywhere but my clan home.”
Etlin said sadly.
“Really, what clan?”
“Oh, the Nishu vampire clan. I’m the daughter of the clan lord.”
Kira looked at her, confused, “Then why are you out here in the woods?”
“I ran away,” Etlin said simply, “Ever since I turned thirteen, my parents have been trying to marry me off. So I left.”
She looked up at them with teary eyes. “Please don’t make me go back. Take me with you! I’ve never been traveling before.” She wailed.
Kira and Luke looked at each other. Luek shrugged. “I don’t see why not.”
“Well,” Kira said to Etlin, “You could come with us if you want.”
“Yay!” Etlin hugged her, “Thank you, thank you, Thank you!”
“All right. You’re welcome,” Kira blushed, “But I have to go back and get the stuff I dropped,”
They walked back through the forest, Etlin following right behind them.
“Well,” said Luke, pulling on his back, “Time to keep heading west.”
“Yaaay!” Etlin raced ahead of them, then stood waiting for them to catch up like an over-anxious dog.
“Luke and Kira looked at each-other and laughed, then ran off after their new companion.
