chapter 8// Reunion of a family
Sara fell hardly on the hard ground, grass easied her fall. Her pelt was covered here and there with black slimy sludge, it was tickling her what made her reflexes shaking it off. Her sore palms went heated up coming up a light smoke, even the cold wind was blowing cold she felt like she was in a volcano, she was sweating and gasping for air.
As she opened her eyes again, she saw the black shadows not hasitating even a moment to attack her. The cat rolled by side to not be hit by the slime like shadows.
She immediately stood up and
let an cyan blue light explosion out of her sweaty hands. The explosion let her lift up in the air, she panted as she landed again on the ground, on her knees.
With her left energy, she started running in the direction where the others went, as the monsters were regenerateing again.
Shit, they regenerate so fast!!
She couldn't fight them alone,
even with her powers. She felt how she was by the end of her strength. She looked back and saw them aggressively approaching, troughing black sludge, trying to take her down. She tried to avoid the smudge that they troughed in her direction.
Rain started pouring. White thunders could be heard and seen in the distand with more dark clouds approaching in her direction.
Sara looked back again and saw the shadows getting nearer. One almost got to her. But she jumped by side to avoid it,but almost tripped by doing so. Her ankle wasn't still healed from what happened on earth, so it still was painful stepping on it, not to mention run on it.
As she ran, she saw before her a giant gap. A small canion gap and next to it an unstable thin old styled bridge.
I have to get to that bridge! It looks like it would barely hold me, not mentioning this mass of monsters!
Sara started running even faster, the wind was blowing in her face and she could barely breath. Cold rain was hitting her warm face, but washed the rest of hanging black slime away from her pelt and felt how she got easier. She took a deep breath before she went over the unstable bridge, but she didnt took a second to think.
The bridge was shaking back and forth gently in the cold wind. But Sara didnt hasitated to get on it, she was hurring as fast as she could.
Siddenly a blank under her broke and one feet was on the air, she whimpered while gasping shocked and panicked, but she continued as she looked back and saw the mass who just has gotten on the bridge, and was shacking it even more.
She ran as she felt the heavy mass moving the bridge and hearing the bridge crackle.
She was almost on the other side.
But than, she saw the ropes of the bridge ripping of one side and the bridge leaned on one side, what made Sara almost fall into the river, who was rageing under her, she felt like it was getting bigger and bigger thanks to the rain.
She took all her strength and courage and ran as fast as she could, than she jumped reaching for the safe side.
The other side of the rope ripped as well, Sara almost was reaching the other side, but it wasnt near enough, she was falling down, away from the safe edge. Her hand was streched out, touching only air.
Sara gasped as she saw that she wouldnt reach the edge, when suddenly someone grasped her hand. As she looked up she heard a bright voice:" HOLD TIGHT!" It was the brown wolf.
"Heroes need help too, and youre no exception!" He took her other hand and dragged her up on saftey. Sara hugged him immediately tight. He hugged her back tightly while sighting.The rain coldly continued, hitting them coldly, making them both wet to the bone. He looked at the other edge and saw the rest of the shadows trying to get around somehow to teach the other side like brainless monsters.
Akro looked in Saras eyes worried:" Are you alright?" He started checking on her, looking at her body. He took her arm and saw her sore palm:"Your palms!"
Sara shook her palm, it was burning, but nothing more:" It's alright, Im just more tired than it hurts." Sighted she tired with a smile in his direction, thankful for him worring about her. Akro still looked unsatisfied for her answer in her direction, Sara sighted chuckling:"Ok, ok, I'll ask Hazel to check on it..." She grabbed his hand, draging him hand , ignoring the pain in her arms "...Now lets head up to the base sweety."
Akro sighted again but this time with an warm smile:"Oh sweety, how much I've missed you." He was looking in her eyes, his eyes were glittering bright full of love, what made Sara blush. She smiled, feeling his hand holding hers, and they were finally togheter again, in safety. She softly answered:"Me too."
And so they walked towards the base, holding hands in silence, enjoying the scene.
The rain was waving with the wind making it cilder than it was. The covered moon was already shining pale in the blue dawn.
"Finally! I'm back Asrythia!" Shouted Sara exited and weakly in the echoes of the field they were now. "You're so loud." Laughed Akro.
Sara just laughed, embarrassed.
They were silemtly enjoying the rain who seemed to never get tired.
Sara observed the base that she came nearer. The trees that most of them still were blooming and recovering from the cold winter, were covering the base around it like a crown.
A chaotic crown of trees.
She saw the burned tree trunk that once was a tree and thought about before it got like this, when the forest fire from the last time they were in Asrythia almost killed her and his brother.
The field they were walking next to made it easier for her to observe also the moon. The rain stopped and only a few drops were falling weakly here and there.
She noticed that Akros hand weren't holding hers anymore.
As Sara looked at a window of the base she saw someone waving.
It was Hazel her friend:" HAZEL!" shouted she while waving.
The bunny went back in and Sara started running faster, "Hey wait for me!" Shouted Akro from behind her, Sara looked back her :"Are you really that slow?!" laughed she. "Me?! Slow?! never!" And he started getting faster what made him catch up.
They made out of it a competition. They both were almost as fast as each other but Akro arrived first:"First! Ha! I told you I'm not that slow!"
Sara panted and pushed him weakly:"Yeah yeah don't be such a child!" ,Akro laughed by her commentary and gived the angry cat a kiss on her cheek.
She still had a grumpy expression but she let it be, "You still almost got me." winked the wolf.
The two damp A knocked on the huge door. It was opened by Eve, she was carrying two towels:" Sara! Akro! here take this." She gave the both wet a towel over their shoulders. Sara hugged Eve:" Eve! I missed you!" Eve hugged her back tight:" I missed you too! I'm so glad you're alright, after what your siblings told me!" Smiled the doe, and they went than in.
They went down the hall and saw the others in the meeting room:" SARA!" Aura went to her and hugged her. They both almost fell down:"I worried so much about you! Akro didn't even told me he would go after you four. He just disappeared out of nowhere, Milton told me after that his plan." Aura looked angry at his little brother with what he responded:" Hey what do you want me to do? You would stop me bringing them back!"
Sara hugged her friend back tight. "Oh Aura! I'm alright! I can't let that crazy things get me knowing you all are waiting for me! It would be a shame!" Suddenly she felt how someone grabbed her hand, she looked dazed in that direction and saw Hazel commenting about her wound palm:" Your hand is sore! It's overheated- also you seem you have some other wounds too on you body! *gasp*" The bunny pointed on her bandaged ankle "What happened woth your ankle!? -Let me treat you."
"Hazel!" Sara took her hand back to hug him "I missed you so so much!" After a few seconds of hug asked she "Where is B.N.?"
"You are asking about me?" She turned and saw the pitch black rabbit , and she embraced him tight, tearing up. "I tought you wouldn't return again!" Said the bunny mournful. Sara responded:" Oh dear Blacknight, me too. I missed you all so much! I tought I wouldn't survive on earth any longer without you all!"
///
After greeting everybody else- not important if with hugs or with thumbs they all talked about the news in their lives and in the team.
Vanessa just explained about how she fought against the shadows with enthusiasm:"AND THEY CAME LIKE *swoosh*" She lifted her arm like she hitted a imaginary shadow standing before her "and I was like *scadosh*"
"Hey what about us-? I mean you're small like a 9 year old. You really think you did all the job??"
Vanessa looked angrily at his older brother and answered to his commentary:"Excuse me? I was trying my best to protect you from behind!"
"Yeah?!, but just because you hit once one shadow it doesn't mean you have to state that you're better!"
"I didn't say that!"
As the siblings had a fight, Sara stood by side eith her group, there was Eve, Aura, Azuro and Akro in a conversation. Sara asked the others:"Hey but where's Nico?", Aura responded:" Nico? Oh, Uh Eve- what was it again? He couldn't come because he was sick, right?", Eve nodded and turned to Sara:"Hey, Sara, can I talk to you later?" Asked Eve suddenly "Uh, sure Eve!" Responed she surprised but curious.
The rest of the evening they all spend with talking and having fun. After it was getting late one after one they got to their homes.
After only Sara , her siblings (that were sleeping and living in the base), Akro and Eve was left, Eve was accompanying her by the way outside trough the corridor. Akro was waiting outside and her siblings were already in their rooms.
"Ok where should I start?" started the young doe, suddenly she stopped walking "Sara" She took with her both hands gentle hers "You're the first to know this apart from Aura, because you're a good friend of mine too. Not even Nico knows what I'mgonna tell you now."
Sara made a confuse and curious expression:"What do you mean Eve?"
Eve looked away, hiding her face expression ,"You can tell me anything Eve, you can trust me."
"Sara I'm ...I'm pregnant!"
