Niarra and Kento walked down
the beach, laughing and giggling happily. Niarra kicked up a piled of sand as
she blushed deeply. Kento put an arm around her.
Cye and Anbuis sat on the
deck watching the two. “There cute, huh?” Cye commented as he smiled over at
Anbuis’s ghost. Anbuis nodded “What’s wrong?” Cye asked worried at his older
cousin’s expression.
“Niarra…” Anbuis pulsed,
“Will live longer then Kento, she’ll be lonely without him.”
“How much longer will she
live?” Cye asked never thinking of that.
“At least four hundred
years,” Anbuis said standing.
Cye stood, too. “Four
hundred years?! Niarra… four hundred years old. What would she look like?” Cye
exclaimed.
“The same as she is now,”
Anbuis said looking down at the beach where his little sister was talking
happily with her boyfriend. Her long black hair shinned in the harsh evening
sun light. Anbuis smiled. “Four hundred years until she can see me.”
Cye was standing leaning on
the banister thinking over the four hundred years Niarra would be alive. “You mean she’ll be left on this earth all
alone?”
“Yes,” Anbuis answered
simply. Just then Kento came walking up the steppes with Niarra fast asleep in
his arms.
“She fell asleep, I’ll go
put her to bed,” Kento said walking passed Cye.
Anbuis followed Kento up the
stairs to her room that she was sharing with Cye ‘til her room in the basement
was finished. Kento put her under her covers and kissed her forehead. “Nite
twig,” He said leaving unaware of Anbuis.
Anbuis watched Kento leave
then knelt down next to Niarra’s bed. “I’ll be waiting for you,” He said and
bowed his head and slowly fading away.

The next morning Niarra awoke
to Cye’s soft breathing. “And I can’t wait to come,” She
said letting the words rush from her lips. She got
up and stared out the window, and wondered what she meant by the words. “And I
can’t wait to come,” She repeated liking the words even more.
Anbuis smiled and answered
knowing she couldn’t hear him, “I will be waiting for you…
little
hawk, my wandering bird.”
Heehee I finally finished a fanfic,
