My hair rose: a snake half-breed. Instincts nudge me in the back of my brain. Snakes were always a mongoose’s worst enemy, half-breed or animal. I wanted to turn into my animal form but Io got there before me.
Two more half-breeds came; one named Ben and another seemed to strike a cord with Sky, her face turned into an expression of surprise and wonder with a mix of pain. Or was that just what I was seeing?
He introduced each of the others: Ben, Jess, Jack, and David (himself). At that Sky seemed to burst. "No your not! Your names Dusk!" she hissed. So he was her lost brother? Wow, take about nerve racking.
Dusk- or David or what ever his name was- turned into a cat and began running away but Sky rushed at him as a cat and somehow nearly fell to her doom only too be caught by her brother who pulled her back up and began running.
My face was a mix of confusion and surprise. Geez, maybe I could find Kovu some where around here.
We were lead to a half-breed camp not too far away. I honestly was surprise. This was the biggest group of half-breeds I’ve ever seen. I looked up at the tent ceiling and tried to sort my thoughts.
“Kara!” came Io’s voice. “Kara, come here!”
I turned to her. “Yeah?” I asked, slightly sleepy. It had been a long and confusing day.
“I know where Kovu is!” she exclaimed.
My face melted into an expression of joy and then curiosity. “How do you know?” I asked.
"An old friend told me. I asked about Seth, he told me Seth was with a little mongoose. They are waiting for me, for us, in center valley!" she informed me
"Which is?" I asked.
"Not a days journey from here, it's along the way! Quick, you tell Ariel, Sky, and Asuka, I'll inform Dani, Gray, and Lucy!" she whispered back. I watched her tip toe over to the others and tell them.
The next day, I was talking to Ariel. "Are you sure Kara?" she asked. "They could be trying to lure us into a trap."
"S-she's right, Kara," Asuka whispered, nervously. She looked back at Sky.
"Well it's worth a shot I think!" I shouted excitedly. My hope of returning my brother was high. I would take the risk, even if I had to do it on my own. After all, he was my imaginative little brother.
"I just don't know..." Asuka said again, looking away.
I frowned. "Look, I'm out here looking for my kid brother, you guys don't know how good I feel right now knowing he could be close by!" I had made I promise I intend to keep.
"You're right, I don't know how you feel..." she mumbled after a few minutes of silence. "I've just got a bad feeling about this, that it won't be as easy as we think.”
“We don’t know until it happens,” I said. “Let’s go before we maybe too late.”
