Kitana stared at the ground as he spoke.When he finished she had turned her head away and sat on her haunches.'It''s nothing of your concern.'She lied.'I will be fine.Just needed a place to think.'

Kitana considered his question.She didn't have an answer.She approached him slowly despite the limp was clear.She pause in front of him and settled on her belly resting her head atop her paws.

This reply Kitana could not hold back.'I love the way it feels.Id that wrong?'Kitana raised her head.

Kitana sighed and arose and moved away from him.She felt herself change and kept her back to him as she stared out over the water.Her long hair flicked gracefully in the light breeze and her skirts ruffled."I never thanked you for saving me again."She said abruptly.

Kitana stared at the water for a long moment before she turned to Eresain and blurted,"There something you should know."She clenched her jaw and now could not meet his gaze.

Kitana said nothing.She didn't know how to explain it.Her heart hammered in her chest and her palm became sweaty.What was wrong with her?She took a step towards him but couldn't meet his gaze despite knowing he was watching her.

Kitana blinked when Eresain had brought up her face and his lips were against hers.But she fell into it and all of a sudden her memories flashed before her.He was the one she was destine to marry tears ago.Her father had found him at their doorstep tending to the trees.It was love at first sight and she knew they could be together.But one day she remembered nothing.Whenever she heard his name she couldn't recall.She didn't even remember the days they spent in the forests.Kitana had always been in her wolf form when in a forest.She loved his touch.The way his fingers coursed through her fur.Kitana moved closer to Eresain and kissed him back.Her mind clear and knowing what shw e wanted was here the whole time.

Kitana pulled back and the question slammed into her mind."Do you know who erased my memory?"Her tone was serious now.

Kitana knew what he meant."The Elder."she said with an exhale.

Kitana stared at Eresain for a long while before she turned to the water and with the stomp of her foot on the earth, the water rose before her, a shimmering blue wall.The fish inside began to fade and there he was.The elder frowned."What is this?Kitana?"He smiled."Why have you called me child?Where is Kamaji?"Kitana answered none of his questions.As she spoke her voice was full of venom."You were responsible for my father death and the memory loss.You tried to force me into marrying someone I didn't love.All because of tradition."The Elder kept the smile pasted on."My dear I did for your own protection.Your father wasn't seeing the danger he was putting our people in so I needed to force him.It worked for a while."Kitana glared at him but he only sighed."Enough.Where is Kamaji?"

Kitana was silent but the elder seemed patient.She strained over the words as she spoke them."He's dead."The elders eyes widened."So.You managed to kill him with your bare hands did you?How shocking.Sorry to hear something so tragic.Fine warrior Kamaji."Kitana dropped her gaze now."I had no choice.He left me with no choice."A single tear fell from kitanas left cheek and she fought to keep from crying.

Kitana flinched at Eresains words but straightened and met the elders gaze once more."Good bye Selek."She didn't wait for his reply as she waved a had and the water fell back into it's crib.She then turned and wrapped her arms around Eresain and sobbed.She couldn't help it.She cared for kamaji.She was with him for all her life and now he was gone.She couldn't hold her feelings in any longer.Luckily.The pain in her ankle was gone.

Kitana spoke hopelessly through sobs."I can't stand all of this.What's happening.I don't know what to do.I fear every decision made."
