meeting was by chance but falling in love feelings like fate ( horsegoddess, rated M)

[redhead14]

spring brought everything to life after the dead of winter, especially in the massive mountains and endless forest of cloudy, rainy Washington. the first rays of the sun brought life to the sleeping forest, bird started to sing and other forest animals started to move about as the last bits of remaining snow melted away revealing bright green grass and beautiful wild flowers. Niabi had been born and raised in the forest and mountains of Washington, she knew them like the back of her hand. " see you later grandma" she yelled cheerfully as she took off in shorts and a tank top in the woods. as soon as she was out of sight a smiled played on her pink lips. her long dark brown hair flew behind her but as she went to jump over a log, she shifted into her elk form. her bright green eyes remained the same but Niabi felt more herself in her elk form. she ran threw the forest picking up her hooves and she leaped over logs and fallen trees soon heading for a clearing the had a small lake where animals came to drink. as she reached the edge up the lake for a drink the sun rays hit her coat making it shine like a penny. her head snapped up as she thought she heard a sound of hooves and a new scent started to come closer to the lake on the opposite side. Niabi froze not sure if she should run or just wait.

After a fairly bad week at school, breaking up with his girlfriend, and tons of school work, Connor was more than ready to liberate himself for the entire weekend. "hey mom I'm shifting this whole weekend so you wont see me for two nights" Connor mentioned to his mom on thursday night. "you better not be going off with that girlfriend of yours" she replied. Connor just scowled, but was glad his mom was cool with it.

Friday afternoon came along and Connor opened the back door. Hearing the creek of the door Connor's mom yelled from the other room, "where are you going?" 
"I'm shifting this weekend remember?" Connor yelled back 
"have fun sweetheart" His mom replied unenthusiastically.

Connor ran into the forest and shifted. He felt so free. He bounded through the forest, jumping over who knows how many fallen trees with moss growing on them. Slowing down to a walk, Connor Gingerly placed his hooves on the ground, avoiding tall bushed, but with his broad chest brushed away ferns and other tall plants. He let out a huff of air from his nostrils and smelled another elk. Female.

[redhead14]

Niabi took a few steps back from the lake as she was preparing herself to run if this male elk she had caught the scent of was a threat. she pricked her ears in his direction and snorted wanting to see what he looked like. Niabi was on edge but alert

[horsegodess]

Connor stepped out of the brush with his head low and neck stretched out, taking in the scent of the elk. He stopped when the female elk came into sight. 


(should they be able to talk in animal form?)
(sorry so short. I would've made it longer but I needed to know whether they can talk when in animals form)

[redhead14]

Niabi saw the male come into view. she looked him over and snorted, she wasn't afraid of him but she was not about to trust him so easily.

( yah that would be cool)

[horsegodess]

"hello. It's a gorgeous day huh" He said to the Elk. He knew that she was a shapeshifter by her aroma. Normal elk smelled different from shapeshifter elk. He then stepped forward to a small puddle that had formed from one of many rainy days in Washington and dipped the tip of his muzzle in, sucking in the cool water.

[redhead14]

"Yah its nice." Niai said in a strong yet soft voice as she finally noticed his scent. She flicked her ears before relaxing a little bit. she watched him take a drink form a small puddle but was still on guard not sure if she should trust him so easily

[horsegodess]

"there's not many of us here in Washington," Connor said. He knew that she knew that he was a shapeshifter too. "where are you from?"

[redhead14]

Naibi listened as Connor spoke to her about here not being many shapeshifter's in this area " I was born in Alaska but came here to live with my grandmother, what about you" she asked as she took a few steps forward

[horsegodess]

Connor stood still as she stepped towards him. He was not intimidated by her in his elk form, because he had a big rack and all of that. Connor wouldn't call himself shy, just a little reserved when in human form. His elk form was a way for him to let loose and become who he wishes he could be in human form. Big, strong, muscular, attractive, and popular with others. Connor was't terribly unpopular, in fact, he sort of was popular. It's just these events keep getting him down. Like the breakup with his girlfriend this week.

"I've lived here my whole life". He replied. "why did you move from Alaska?"

[redhead14]

Naibi was not exactly the quiet type, she spoke her mind when she is provocted. She is not the most fashionable or popular girl at school but for sure the bravest and friendliest. The only thing getting her through school is being on the volleyball team. Her elk form matches her human form more or less. Naibi is more grace full in her elk form but her personality shows through. She listened as Connor talked " just wanted a change in scenery " she answered

[horsegodess]

"huh" Connor replied. "well, I'll see you around I guess" Connor said as he turned to head in another direction. Connor could be missing out on a real good looking girl, but in elk form he could only barely tell that she was attractive. Anyways, he only broke up with his girlfriend last week. Connor trotted away to a nearby stream. He lowered his head and took little sips of the chilly water.

[redhead14]

Niabi did not say a word as connor turned to take his leave. she watched him go before heading off in her own direction. she was not really looking for a relationship at the moment but something about not being the only shape shifter drew her to him.

next day
monday morning came too soon as niabi heard her alarm go off. she groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes, she sighed and headed for the shower, not long after she threw on son dark skinny jeans a white tank top with a lilac colored v neck sweater. she let her dark brown hair dry by its self making it wavy. she put on a little bit of make up, threw some boots on and headed for her jeep. once at school she kepted to herself saying hi to a person every now and then. she got to her locker, but picked up a scent. the scent ofo the male elk from yesterday, her eyes widen then she scanned around for before spotting him. she looked away acting as if she hadnt seen him.

[horsegodess]

Monday morning Connor got up and threw on some clothes for school. A white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He carried his backpack downstairs and threw on his favorite jacket. It was a gray Nike jacket with yellow trimming and zipper. He wore it everywhere except on special occasions and when he shifted. He rode his bike to school as he did every morning. Being a bit late, Connor threw his bike against the bike rack and jogged inside and directly to his locker to get some books. Being in a rush, Connor did not pay attention to his surroundings. He was oblivious to the familiar girl. The only reason why he might recognize her would be because of her scent, and she was wearing perfume. He stuffed his books into his bag and walked briskly to his physics class.

The bell rang and connor walked to the lunch line. He took his tray outside, to where he liked to spend a lot of his time, and ate on the green picnic bench. A couple guys joined him. Connor lingered a bit longer at the table after the guys were sucked into the swirl of events at school. He sipped up the last of his water.

(how old are they again?)

[redhead14]

niabi was relieved to see that Connor did not notice her. she took a breath before heading to AP English taking a seat near the back close to the window. she smiled at some friends as she sat down and took out her sketching journal. she was very into drawling and writing poetry. niabi's pictures many centered around nature and animals. lost in her own world of drawling, she almost missed the lunch bell.

Niabi grabbed a fruit cup and anything veggie, since she was mainly vegetarian. her and her friends headed outside since it was a nice day. they sat at the table near a tree but wear sun light still hit off of it. as she ate, niabi could smell Connor. she scanned around again for him and located him only to be interrupted by one of her teammates. she smiled and laugh and watched as Connor remained at the table once his friends left. she tried to put him out of her mind as she finished eating. soon the bell rang again and it was time for her TA which was just helping out in the school library. she reached the library and put her head phones in and started to sing to the song still into yo by paramore. niabi was dancing a little in one of the isles near the back putting books away.

[horsegodess]

Connor had a free after lunch today, that of which he was relieved of. He finished up his cup of water and sauntered inside. After clearing his dishes, Connor walked to the library. Non of his friends had his free and so Connor did work during his frees. He was also sort of studious. Not a typical jock. Putting on his backpack, he walked to the library and sat down at a table. He took out his mac laptop and some textbooks. Opening his notebook, he began to take notes out of one of the textbooks. After a few minutes, Connor got up to get a research book for history. He browed the aisles looking at the dewy decimal system lining the rows. He came to the row where his book was in and through the shelves he heard a girl singing. He got his book and went to that aisle, leaning on the shelf, waiting until he would notice her. He waited with a big smile on his face, watching her dance.

"nice moves" he said when she finally noticed him.

[redhead14]

Niabi was in the middle of dancing when she felt someone watching her. She looked over her shoulder in saw Connor smiling at her, she gasped and dropped the books in her hand. Niabi blushed slightly and quickly bent down to pick them up without as much as a glance at Conner. she did not want him to recognize her. she tucked her dark chocolatey brown behind her ear as she stood. " uhm do you need help with anything" she turned back to her books she was putting away.

[horsegodess]

Connor went to help her with her dropped books, but she picked them up before he had the chance. "uh yeah, I was looking for a book on George Washington for History". He told her.

(sorry that was really short)

[redhead14]

" there might be one or two books on my cart about him" she said as she finished the books in her hands then went to her cart to pick up another armful to put away. niabi set the tow about George washington on the top row before moving away from her cart to put books on the shelves. she stood about 5'8 which was on the short side for an outside hitter on the volleyball team but she was one of the best. she stood on her tip toes to reach the top shelf trying to put a book away.

[horsegodess]

Connor looked down at the cart and then picked up one of the books and flipped through the pages to get a general idea if the book would be good. He looked up to see the girl on her tippy toes having a bit of trouble reaching a spot on the bookshelf. Connor walked over and non-agressivly offered to help. "here. let me help you." He was 5'9". Not too tall, but generally taller than most girls. He was long and lanky; skinny. Not particularly strong, but quite athletic. He tipped the book up so it fell into the right slot in the bookshelf. "hey by the way what is your name?" He asked after he was finished placing the book in the right spot.

[redhead14]

Niabi felt the presence of someone come behind her, she knew it was Connor. as he offered to help her with the book, she blushed a little as their touched as he helped put the book in its spot. " thanks" she say simply as she turned form him so he would not see her light blush that came across her face. she froze as he asked for her name " uhm it's Niabi, but my friends call me bi bi for short since not alot of people can pronounce it correctly" she said with a nervous. laugh

[horsegodess]

Because they had not exchanged names when they were shifted in the woods this weekend, Connor did not think twice. "I'm Connor" He said. He decided not to shake hands. He picked up the two books and said, "yeah I'll take these. thank you for your help". Connor smiled and walked to the check out counter.

Later that day, Connor sat down to math class and there he saw Niabi. He smiled at her before the teacher started to lecture. He put his head down and started to take notes.

[redhead14]

" nice to meet you" she said with a slight smile, relaxing a little when she noticed that he was not really recognizing who she was. niabi was glad that they did not touch much really. " sure thing" she said as she watched him leave.

Niabi was walking through the hall heading to her next class with one of her friends. when they entered their next class which was math, niabi saw Connor, who was smiling at her. she smiled back, as her friend started to tease her since she too saw his smile. niabi took her seat near the window and started taking notes down

[horsegodess]

Connor was interested in Niabi. She seemed like an interesting person. Something was different about her and he couldn't pin point what that was. He liked how she was different though. Math class was last that day and he decided to go up to her after class. The bell rang and Connor efficiently packed up his books so he could go over to Niabi's desk. He swung his backpack over his shoulder and started to walk over to Niabi.

[redhead14]

during math, Niabi sighed as she grew bored with what the teacher was talking about. she looked out the window then back at her notebook and started to draw elk and other nature type things. soon the bell rang and Niabi was brought back down to earth, she sighed and started putting her books into her bag and waved to her friends as they left the class room. as she went to stand up she almost bumped into connor. " uhm hi" she managed as she adjusted her bag
