I listen to him before speaking, "Can you teach me?" I asked right before he said he prefurd bows and a story came to my mind, "Hm I know a old story about a foolish bow hunter, want to hear?" I ask secretly looking over his body studding his features beforemy eyes darted back to his, he was quite handsome.

[Saviour]

Gale

I nod "Go right ahead, I don't mind a little story every now and again" I say and smile a nearly perfect smile. I take another bite of the venison before I put it back and settle down. I look over at her as she spoke, admiring her ease with words.

[Guest]

"Ok so a man decided to go hunting with just his bow, so when he finally found a deer he amid and shot missing it's vitals and hit it's but the animal whent kaotic and" she stoped to gigle, "Started to shoot random arrows everywhere not even aming and missed all but once it shot the pore buck in the leg and so the dear took off at a stampied pace pushing everything out of his way and when he went a spot where humans camped barged out thrashing about and trying to atack him. It sounds better when my father tells it don't get why the guy would be so foolish to let a hurt animal run loose, my fathers says if you shoot you got to mean it." I smile at him.

Gale

I smile and shake my head, laughing. "Yea, you really do. It's a one shot thing, there's no going back" I say and smile over at her. "So you want to know how to hunt? Mind starting off with shooting?" I ask her.

[Guest]

I smile and my eyes twinkle slightly, "Yea sounds fun." I said in a exited but clam voice standing up to fallow him.

[Saviour]

Gale

I smile at her eagerness. "Here, you can carry the bow and arrows" I say handing them to her as I step over to a tree. I take some berries and make a big red circle in the middle of its large trunk. "Now" I say and walk over to her. I stand by her side and place my hand over hers, careful though, as not to creep her out. Her hands were soft, like someone's who didn't have to do much labor. "Now take out and arrow and put the area behind the head in this notch" I say and point to a place that was carved thinner and then had a ledge for the arrow to rest on.

[Guest]

Emily-
I fallow him to the spot. Wjen he put his hands on mine a weird feeling filled me, warm like, safe, and comfortable. I ignored it and did as he said listening to his every word constraining hard.

[Saviour]

Gale

I nod when she notches the arrow. "Good, now I want you to put the arrow in your fingers like this" I say, and place the end between my index and middle fingers. I let go and let her do as I did. "Then pull the string back and place the target between these two dots" I say and show her the dots on the bow.

[Guest]

I listen intensely fallowing his instructions and watching him point stuff out, "Then release?" I asked him starring at the target in the position he told me to excitement coursing through my blood with Adeline.

[Saviour]

Gale

I nod slowly and hel phold the bow steady. "Now, take a deep breath" I say, and take a breath with her. "And as you release it, let the string go" I say, and wait as she releases the arrow.

[Guest]

Emily
I take a deep breath with him and realese the arrow and string watching as it swoshes strait to the marking and barly misses the bull eye, "That's fun to do." I say and smile at him before pulling another bow out ready to repeat.

[Saviour]

Gale

I smile back at her. She did wonderfully for a first try. "Great job!" I say, and step back as she pulls out another arrow. "Now try it on your own" I say and sit down on a tree stump. The air was crisp and cool, like the storm had passed.

[Guest]

Emily
I carefully thought the steps out, repeated and shot the arrow. "Thanks" I say Turing to look at him, still smiling then back to see the arrow Peirce into the tree truck next to the other but slightly over.

[Saviour]

Gale

I nod "Sure thing" I say and stand up. I yank the arrows from the tree. I walk back over to her and put the arrows back in their place. "You did great for a first time" I say.

[Guest]

Emily-
My cheeks flush bright red, "Thanks, I had fun." My voice was slightly shy sounding at his nice comment.

[Saviour]

Gale

I chuckle and take the bow from her hand carefully. I put the arrows and the bow by the bag that was by the log I had been sitting on not very long ago. I look back at the girl and smile "Follow me, I want to show you something" I say, and walk into the forest behind the tree we used as target practice. I loved the forest... It was something about the way the sunlight filtered down through the tree tops, and the soft, sweet smelling breeze rustled the new leaves.

[Guest]

Emily-
I watch him and nod when he says fallow me. "Ok." My voice was sweat and tender. I walk behind the tree with him and deeper into the woods wondering where we where going. I gelt excitement rush through me figuring the place was beautiful.

[Saviour]

Gale

I smile and keep walking, not following a set path. The beautiful chirp of a Mountain Bluebird sliced through the air, and a flash of sky blue broke through a blueberry bush in front of me. I chuckle and keep walking. Soon the brush thinned and I came out by a tall, crystal clear waterfall and pond. A small group of horses grazed nearby. The lead stallion used to belong to my best friend before she died, and he allowed me near his mares and their foals. I make a clicking sound with my mouth and step slowly towards them. A whicker came from a little colt, and he tossed his head high.

[Guest]

Emily
I fallow and smile at the beautiful bird picking up a shiny blue feather it dropped. I stand up and coutie fallowing Gale and as we get closer to a clearing I could hear the loud sound of rushing water and grew exited soon we broke through the thick brush and walked till a clearing with a huge water fall streaming down into a pound then a barrow creak heading off some where. I gasp seeing thehorses and stare astonished by the view. "It-it-it's beautiful, no goreuos!" I stutter.

[Saviour]

Gale

I smile big at her excitement. "Take a drink, it's clean and tastes great" I say while stroking the little horse's forlock. His mother nudged my elbow and decided to nip at my hair. "Ow" I gumble and pat her cheek playfully. My smile faded though when I saw the stallion. He was tall, strong American Mustang. His bay coat was perfectly healthy, and it shone in the daylight like newly polished wood. He threw his head and pawed the ground impatiently. "Hey there" I say and walk slowly up to him. He rests his nose on my chest and I stroke his neck.

[Guest]

Emily-
I did as he said and took a sip of the clear clean glistening blue-white water, "Delicious" I said and got up walking up to his s-i-d-e and looking at the stallion, "He trustes you so well, can I pet him?" I said and looked to the beautiful bay American mustang stallion.

[Saviour]

Gale

I nod "Sure" I say and scratch his bridal path, or where it used to be. He snorted loudly and nibbled on my shirt before looking around at his small family.

[Guest]

Emily
I place a shaky hand on the horse and calm as soon as I feel his skin losing the slight fear. I stroke his neck over and over then gently scratch his chest as people tend to say they like before stroking his neck aging.

[Saviour]

Gale

I smile small and wander back to the waterfall's pond. I squat down and run my four fingers over the surface. It shook, and rippled around the pond. Soon, the waves returned from the sides. They nearly reached me, but disappeared as they met the others and they slowly ruined themselves.... It had been so long since I'de been here, and it felt good. It was almost like returning to the last place I saw her was slowly sealing the crack that was left behind. A small whicker of content from the stallion brought me back to the reality that I was here with the girl I had met last night, and I stand up quickly. I dry my hands on my Wranglers and then proceed to cross my arms tightly to my chest.

[Guest]

Emily
I turn to face Gale, "So um is the water safe to swim in? It looks like a great area to do so." I asked smiling and quickly looking him up and down twice, hot. I thought then, geesh you just met him. I walk towards him then past, to the water.
