Mica watched as he got up. She rose to her feet, a look of hurt and confusion on her face. "What? I don't understand." She looked at him as she shook her head and turned to walk back to the house.

He stopped as she spoke with confusion. He didn't even turn his head as he spoke. "Mica, you are a very beautiful woman, and I like you very much, but right now.......right now I just can't get involved, for your benefit and mine. Trust me please?"

Mica felt as if something hit her squarely in the chest. “I know Doug. I get it. It’s not me it’s you. Yada yada yada.” Mica turned and retreated into the depths of the forest. She didn’t know why she was so upset but she knew she had to get away from everyone.

Bruce smiled at Kia, touching her cheek softly as he kissed her lips tenderly.
"I don't know how either," he said as he stood and dressed. "But I know it's what I do feel. I didn't think I would be able to have such a relationship right now, with all the fighting and such that's going on, but by the gods I want to fight for this!"

Kia smiled as he spoke. She stood and pulled on her clothes as she looked at him. “Feelings can be fleeting, brought on by the heat of the moment only to fade in the light of the sun.” She moved toward him and kissed him lightly on the lips before moving slowly away. “I am not sure what to do next.” She told him as she stared at him. Her mind struggled with all that had happened while her heart held only to the love that she felt within her and from him.

Bruce put his arm around Kia, leading her through the forest again.
"Some feelings are fleeting, yes," he agreed. "But not these. Deep down in my very soul, I know they are true."

Kia smiled as they walked together. She placed her hand on his chest as she walked. Her body held close under the safety of his arm. “I feel it too. I don’t know what to do now. You have your own life. I have mine. The only thing we seem to hold in common is that we were both here at the same time tonight.”

Bruce smiled, shrugging his shoulders in surrender.
"True," he said as they continued to walk through the beautiful forest, adjusting their course to make a large circle around the house. "But sometimes that's all people need to start off."

Kia looked at him as she thought. “Aren’t you scared?” She laid her head against his chest as she walked. She raised it as she looked into his eyes. “You do realize that darkness resides in that house don’t you? The woman is shrouded within it, though there is light within her soul.” She shook her head as she came back into herself. “Sorry. I get caught up sometimes.”

Bruce smiled at Kia, nodding.
"I know there is," he said. "I think that might be one reason why I bumped into the house. Everywhere I go, I tend to search out the dark and bring it to light. And yes, I am scared. But I'm also excited and anxious to see where this new thread in my life's tapestry will take me."

Kia stopped moving so that she stood before him. She placed both hands on his chest as she looked into his eyes, a slight smile on her lips. “I don’t think I want to go back to the house.” She told him softly. “Would you like to come with me? I have someplace I would like to share with you…if you are interested.”

Doug let his head sink as he watched her go into the depths of the woods. He wanted to tell her. He wanted to tell her why he couldn't get involved. It really was him and not her. He had been romantically involved with someone long ago. Someone who got him into a lot of trouble with the council. They had told him that if he every got involved again, he would lose his powers forever, and his animal, Salgou. He was never to even mention it to a girl, and so far he hadn't had a problem with girls until Mica came along. He felt so much for her, so many feelings that he had never felt. When he went to kiss her while they were in the brush, the council had touched his mind warning him not to get involved, or there will be consequences. That is why he had gotten up. "I am sorry." He whispered under his breath as she vanished into the woods.

Bruce smiled at Kia, touching her hands on his chest as he took them in his.
"Of course," he said, giving her hands a soft squeeze. "Lead the way!"

Kia smiled as she opened the portal and stepped through to the manicured garden at Jackson Square. She led him to a bench toward the west end and sat down. The sun had just started to rise and slowly it lit all aspects of the garden as the light broke softly over the horizon. Kia tipped her head back, waiting and then she heard the soft chimes as the bells began to toll. A smile rose on her lips as she turned her head to see the morning light illuminate the old cathedral. It stood majestic and tall, nestled within the many buildings of the French Quarter. “The St. Louis Cathedral. It is the oldest active cathedral in the United States. I like to sit here in the park and listen to the bells chime as the sunrises. It gives me peace and brings hope.”
*************************************************
Mica continued to walk deeper into the forest. She would not return to the house in the woods. Not after Doug... she shook her head as the hurt and anger filled her, clouding her mind to everything else. Her tears fell in the solitude and darkness as she made her way slowly back to the cave. She was glad that it would take her a couple of hours. Her tears clouded her vision as her thoughts clouded her mind. She didn't see or sense the shadow warriors as they lie in wait for her.

Bruce smiled as he sat with Kia, holding her in his arms as they watched the sunrise.
"It's beautiful," he said, closing his eyes and feeling the warmth wash over his face and body as the sun rose higher in the sky. "I can understand why you come here." He just say and listened to the bells toll. There was no other sounds, save the breathing of Kia and the fluttering of bird wings.
