Chapter 2: That Wonderful Place.
The hunters threw Tani down on a stump and all but the blond left. "Why do you have me here?" She asked. The hunter laughed and sat down next to her." I really don't know. I'm not into the whole war over property thing." He said. "Don't worry. I will get you somewhere safe when the guys are gone." He added in a whisper. "Who are you?" Tani asked, her chocolate brown eyes revealing a confused lax in her guard. " Andrew. Andrew Morgan. We wen--" " Andrew?! but you--!! Your hair it's...BLOND!" She yelled. Andrew chuckled and stood up." Lets go before the guys get back." He helped her up and she hooked her arm in his. They walked further into the woods, Tani feeling more and more at ease, as her new companion was an old yet, still very dear, friend from her beloved hometown of Lovelady. "Why did you leave?" He asked staring down at her as they continued to walk. "I had to move and change my name because Cody and Ryan were threatening to murder me. They actually attempted it too..." "Is it alright if I call you Amber again then?" He asked. "Go ahead." "Well, here we are." He smiled. Amber Stared in silent awe. He had taken her to a beautiful paradise. The trees opened up into a huge clearing, with a lake in the very center. The blue and purple flowers bordering the north end of the lake caught her eye. "Are those...?" She asked pointing. "Sure are." Andrew said, almost laughing. She rushed to the edge of the crystal clear water and dropped to her knees. Laughing she stared at her reflection, which stared back at her, eyes full of life. She then got up and waded out into the body of water. "Andrew, why don't you come join me?" She called out. He threw his shirt on the ground and jumped in, knocking Amber down. She came up sputtering and laughing and splashed him. They continued their joyous frolic in the lake until the sun began to set. "Lets go lay out and dry." Andrew offered his hand when he got to the bank. They lay on the bank, dripping and breathing heavily. The sky darkened until the silver specks of stars were clear and beautiful.
