I followed the river to towards the waterfall and went to the right side  and placed my moonstone on the right hole the waterfall  opened  and revealed a cave i  used my strength   and turned  wolf   i saw paw prints  i smelt it smelled like lucia i followed the trail and came out on the other end of the mountain  lucias scent was stronger here i looked left and right but i couldnt  see him  my excitment dimmed until o heard a whine a wolf whine  i looked down the mountain and saw  a golden starstone wolf i reconized the scent it was lucia  he looked weak  and malnourished it was years since i saw him i was twenty four now and so was  he i went  down the mountain then i noticed  his foot was stuck in a wolf trap it was bleeding my heart fell i conjured  my power and healed his foot  but i could see him weak  i found fruit vegtable  and berries  i had ingredients  with me in my backpack i lit a fire  and changed from wolf to human and lucia also changed his form from wolf to human he looked  so diffrent his tan was darker  his abs were harder his face was covered  with a beard  i could hardly recognise  him until i looked in his eyes and saw the starriness  and hypnotic pull  i felt the first time we met   in college  he looked at me funny like he didnt recognise me well it wouldn't  worry me it was ten years since we met and joshua was only a few weeks  old after staring at me for a few hours lucia started to say something  i waited for his question he finally  spoke his Spanish accent coming  through with a hoarseness probably from being  thirsty i gave him water he said thank you and drank it hungrily.

  i had made soup and a rasberry dessert  i had bread so we had bread and soup i walked up to lucia  and offered him the food he took it happly he ate it so fast then he asked  for another  plate and another  after he was done he said thank you  and that Spanish accent drove me crazy  he paused and he asked

“who are you senorita  you seem famillia  who are you”

I repiled back

“obviously i look familiar lucia  you know me  its been years since we saw each other  we were 18 and engaged to be married before  you went off on your journey”

Lucia now looked shocked as he finally  recognised  me.

“oh my santo jesus clara its you  oh cristo how could i forget you  senorita forgive me i estupido idiota i cant believe  i forgot the woman who controls my heart how have you been mi amour you have grown up to be as beautiful as ever”

I blushed a bright scarlet and i replied “i have been ok i waited ten years for you lucia i missed you every day not one day went by when i never remembered you  when i never received  any letters i thought you were  dead lucia i broke down  i felt like my life was over but then i saw joshua  i felt strength to live for his sake and i carried on living for our son”

Lucia looked at me  with sadness in his eyes and his tears  escaped before he could clean it  he started to cry and  kept  saying to me how sorry he was and how bad he felt  when our son and me needed him  he grabbed my hands  and kissed them as if it was holy like the bible  he  asked me

“how is joshua  mi amour  he must  be grown up now  please tell me how he is and whos personality he has"

I replied full of proudness

“ joshua is ten years old now he is very intelligent  like you lucia  he smiles like you he is fluent in spanish  the only thing thats mine is his strong personality  he goes to a grammer school  everyone says he is brilliant and joshua make you laugh with his mischievous ways and he plays alot of pranks”
Lucia laughed  so seductively  and said

“ese es mi chico(thats my boy)

he said it so proudly  and with sadness   too

“i missed him growing up i missed his first step his first word his first smile i wasnt a good dad”

I put my hand in his and squeezed it so passionately and i kissed it and said

“you havent  missed anything i took  out a mobile phone that had a video camera and i went in to the gallery  and clicked on videos and it had a video of joshua saying “papa and  mama  lucia also saw  joshuas first step i gave the phone to him  and he cherished it as if it was a priceless jewel he asked me to show him a picture  of joshua i did it and he kissed it i told him he could keep my phone and i also told him i could let him talk to joshua he said yes so i rang the housephone and joshua picked up

“hello who is this”

I replied

“its mummy babe how are you”
Joshua got excited and said

“ hiya mummy i am ok me and grandpapi were growing flowers in grand mamas Green house she made me papas favorite  strawberry  cookies and she made some yummy milk then we had lemon icepops i was going upstairs now to sleep  i have a grammer test  tomorrow grand mama said remember to pray in church before i go school how are you mummy did you find papa and when you coming home mama”

I was laughing  and crying at the same time  i replied honestly

“i am ok baby mummies fine i am stuck somewhere i got lost so i dont know when i will be home babe i am happy to see  that you had fun and alot of sweets and i have a surprise  for you would you like  to know”

Joshua started laughing  and he said

“ yes mama please tell me  whats the surprise tell me tell me”

I then replied

“i found papa do you want to talk to him he really wants to talk to you  joshua babe”
“you found papa oh mama you are great  please put him on i want to talk to papa please”

Lucia stood there amazed  to see that joshua wanted to talk to him even though he wasnt able to be there for him i gave the phone to lucia and he said

“hello little man how are you its me papa oh my son i have missed you i am sorry i wasn't  there for you when you needed me please  forgive me my son”

Joshua had listened to his dad and then he said

“ oh papa i dont forgive you mama told me you were on a mission  which is why i could never see you papa i dont forgive you as you never did anything wrong i love you papa and i love mama  and when you and mama find your way home Then i would  love to play pranks with you and we can beat mama  i tried pranking nana and grandpa but they found out i need help will you help me when you come home then after we can play football  and  eat a barbercue “

Lucia smiled and said

“of course  my son i would love too help with your pranks and playing  football with  you would be an honour we have to go joshua i will see you soon  take care of grandpapi  and grand mama  and grandpa and nana we will meet  you soon bye my son goodnight”

With that the phone cut off  lucia cried openly now his strong wall broke and he grabbed my arm and kissed me until my body yearned for him . I kissed him and lucia said how thankful he was that i kept joshuas love strong  for him  and he would never forget what i had done for him  i told lucia that i told him the truth  about his dads journey he smiled and kissed me again  we were  about to move on  when i heard  the thunder i knew it was going to rain so i took out a tent  and set it up it was big enough for the both of us we got in and yben lightning  struck i jumped in lucias lap again and he chuckled "mi amore are you still scared of lightning i blushed and nodded my head  to indicate i was i also told lucia  that joshua  teases me about my fear of lightning  that made him laugh loud enough to scare the birds away i pouted and said it wasnt funny  but after  a bit

i laughed also along with  lucia  we were  laughing and i felt that spark  reignite within me  and i think lucia felt it to the next thing we both knew was us kissing and caressing  each other and then we both felt that need to strip and we were having sex once again in the rain like we   had 10 year before  after we were done lucia panting he asked me to marry hi lucia panting he asked me to marry him i agreed and in the morning we packed the tent picked up our respective  bags and carried on together to find our clan members.
