Description
It was a quiet night. Except for the chirping of crickets. A gentle breeze swept through the cool air, and stars shone.
Even though it was a peaceful night, not everyone was sleeping peacefully.
A human, known as Cameron,was one of them.
She stared at the ceiling. Next to her, sleeping peacefully, was one of Safe Haven's top peace keepers. A giant cheetah known as Zechariah.
Who was also her partner.
She looked over at him.
He slept peacefully, with a calm face, and his body slowly rising and falling with every breath.
She smiled at him.
Five years ago, if you would've told her that she'd be living in a magical place and fell in love with a giant talking cheetah.......She would've thought you were crazy.But...here she was. Living in Safe Haven, next to Zechariah to prove her wrong.
She carefully sat up and swung her feet off the bed, careful to not wake Zechariah.
He continued to sleep peacefully.
Sighing, she stood up and walked over to the window.
Opening it, she leaned out, resting her arms on the window pane and looking up.
The Fish of Peace were in the sky tonight. Just like when Zechariah first showed them to her. There was peace in the districts.
To bad she wasn't feeling peace. In fact, she felt guilty.
Zechariah didn't have to be with her. She knew a lot of other females that were more pretty and deserving of him.
Maybe she should tell him...
"Cameron?"
"EH!" She let out a squeak and pulled her head back in. Only she didn't look at where she was going in her startled state and hit her head against the window with a resound thump.
Her hands flew up to grip the top of her head which now emanated a throbbing pain.
"Ow...."
"Cameron, are you alright?" asked a calm voice.
She looked up to see the giant cheetah. Wide awake, out of bed, and looking right at her.
"Y-Yeah. I'm fine.....You're awake?"
"I heard you get out of bed."
"How did you hear that?"
"Animals have better senses than humans, which include hearing."
"Oh..."She looked at the floor, avoiding eye contact.
"......Are you alright, Cameron?"
"...........Yeah, I guess. I didn't hit my head that hard."
His eyes narrowed." That's not what I meant. You of all people should know that no one gets up in the middle of the night for know reason."
"....."
"Cam, tell me. What's wrong?"
"........Fabian."
"Did he upset you?"
"No. He just.....looked sad when I.."
"Chose me over him."
She nodded.
He sighed. Reaching out a paw and pulling her against his body.
"Cameron. You two talked it out and left it on good terms, did you not?"
"Yes...but.."
"And you two are still good friends. He moved on."
"I know. It's what he said."
"Why? Did he hurt your feelings?"
"No. It's just," she bit her lip," He said that inter-species couples are a bueatiful thing."
"And what's wrong with that?"
"I just find it strange that you'd be with me when a lot of other.....animal girls are a lot prettier than me."
She finally looked up at him. He stared back with surprised eyes.
"Cam. I don't love you for your looks.I love you because you have a good heart and see good in others. If I wanted someone shallow, I would've went with Brandi's mother."
He leaned down to nuzzle the top of her head. " You're perfect just the way you are. Startled squeaks and all."
She blushed." You really think so?"
"Of course. It's not everyday I hear such a cute noise."
She blushed harder, and covered her face with her hands."Zech!"
He chuckled. "Do you want to go back to sleep now?"
"In a second. I...want to watch them for a bit longer," she said looking back up at the sky.
"Then, if you don't mind, I shall join you."
"I'd like that. Thanks."
She sat back against him, and he wrapped a paw or two around her. She snuggled against his warm, soft fur and paused. A vibrating noise came from above.
"You purr?"
He coughed. "Only around special people I'm particually close too."
She giggled."It's cute."
"Not as cute as your squeaks."
Tell you what...You don't tell anyone about my 'squeaks', and I won't tell anyone you purr. Deal?"
"Agreed."
They settled down and watched the nature spirits swim in the starry sky amongst the stars.
Turns out it was a peaceful night for everyone.
