Henry Meets Diana

Arianna was dragging a piece of meat with Rava. With her teeth. She pulled as hard as she could, but not so hard her teeth would fall out. Rava was a tough fighter and in the end, she got the bigger part of the meat. Arianna only got a small portion that filled her mouth. Rava swallowed the meat in two seconds, then she came to Arianna. She laughed,

“fine.” she stuck out some meat from her mouth and Rava took it without a scratch on her. She chewed the rest and swallowed,

“That was delicious.” then Rava started licking her face,

“aw Rava, stop it!!!” she laughed. It was quite ticklish, but It was the only way Rava could say thank you.

“so girl, what do you want to do now?” Rava growled and rubbed her head against Arianna.

“aw, I love you too” she played with her ears, “do you remember the first time we met?” Rava looked at her with puppy eyes making her laugh.

Flashback…

Arianna’s vision started to come up and found herself in a clearing. She groaned,

“Why am I not in heaven yet?” she looked around. She was in the forest not far from the village. Her body ached. She looked at herself barely covered. She remembered everything and anger swelled within her,

“If I get my hands on Eleanor, she’s toast!!!!” she strangled air as she said so. Her anger quickly turned to fear when she heard a growl. She immediately scrambled to her feet and faced the approaching tigress.

“well maybe I am going to die after all.” she gulped, “nice kitty. Please don’t hurt me!” Rava approached further. Arianna’s throat was dry, at that moment she needed water. And a miracle. Rava pounced on her and licked her to oblivion. She was covered in cat slobber.

“aw!!!! What was that for?!” she whined. She looked at Rava. From a wild cat to an adorable kitten. Arianna could not believe what just happened.

“you’re sure you’re not going to eat me?!” she asked, “not even if I add some spices to myself??” Rava just licked her. Arianna was shocked again, she looked at the open space, and said to herself,

“major déjà vu.”

Rava backed down for her to get up. She looked around,

“ I guess this our new home,” Rava growled. Arianna looked at her, she knelt,

“which name am I going to give you?” Rava growled, looking at her new owner.

“well, you’re nice, friendly, and brave. I’m going to name you Rava.” Arianna decided and which earned a big lick from Rava making her fall backward. Arianna laughed. It was the beginning of a new sisterhood.

Flashback over…

Arianna laughed. Rava was the best thing that happened to her after she got kicked out. She smiled and looked at her right where Rava was. She was gone.

“for how long have I been talking to myself?” she laughed

Henry pushed leaves away from his face as he wandered into the thick forest with his quiver and arrows looking for what to kill. He’d been searching for hours and decided to rest on a rock.

“man, I’m never going to find a game like this!” he picked up a stone and threw it into the bushes. He sighed. Rava emerged from where the stone had landed. Henry looked up and saw his grave. Rava moved closer and growled,

“Please don’t kill me!!! My dad still needs me!!!” Rava only advanced. Out of fear, he brought out an arrow and shot Rava in the front leg. She growled in pain and pounced on him. She growled at him once again and he screamed like a girl.

“Rava, don't kill him!” Henry could have sworn he heard Arianna. But when Rava backed down, he saw a completely different person. He couldn’t do or say anything. He was mesmerized by her beauty. As she came forward, with each step, his heart skipped twenty beats.

“Rava! I’ve told you not to eat humans. Only animals!” she scolded, but Rava showed Arianna her leg. Henry gulped. Busted. Arianna frowned,

“did you do this?” Henry could feel the tension in the air.

“um…..yes” he answered. She sighed,

“no wonder she wanted to kill you.” she knelt and examined the wound, “you shouldn’t have done that.” her words plain as ever. He couldn’t stop looking at her. Everything about her was so sight blinding. Arianna cast him a glance,

“she’s alright,” she smirked, “but I don’t have the medicine to treat her,” Henry gulped. She continued, “and since you’re the one that hurt her,” she moved closer and twirled her finger in his brown hair, “you have to get it.” Henry felt blood rush to his cheeks, he was screwed.

“anything!! I’ll get you anything!!” he stuttered.

“anything?” Arianna asked mischievously,

“yes! Anything!!” he was quick to reply. Arianna smirked. It was going to be fun. And it was a good thing Henry couldn’t recognize her because if he could, everyone in the village will know within two seconds.

“it’s getting dark,” she said. Henry looked up and saw nightfall was approaching,

“you bring everything tomorrow and don’t be late.” she turned to leave, and Rava limped beside her.

“wait by what time?!” he shouted.

“noon.” she simply replied and walked away. Rava followed her quietly. Henry jumped for joy.

“you’ve scored yourself a hot date Henry boy!” he ran happily back home. To tell his dad.

“Dad!! Dad!!!” Henry called with all gladness of heart.

Jude sighed, “what is it, boy?” Henry stopped in front of his dad with the best smile he got,

“I’m in love!” Jude was surprised at what his son said and he was also very happy.

“well, this is great news!” Jude exclaimed while getting a pan out of the cabinet, “so who’s the lucky girl?”

“oh I don’t know her name yet, but she lives in the forest.” and as he said that Jude used the pan to hit his head. Henry cried in pain,

“dad!!! What was that for??” he whined while rubbing his sore head,

“that’s for wasting my time.” He simply answered his unserious son.

“But dad I’m not lying!!” he complained, “I really did see her. She’s hot!!!! And she has a pet tiger which I accidentally injured, and that’s why I need some medicine from you.” Jude gave his son a bored stare.

He sighed, “why don’t you find yourself a real girlfriend and stop bothering me with all this nonsense.” he went back to cooking.

Henry pouted, “but it isn’t nonsense dad! It’s the truth!!”

“Whatever you say, psycho” Jude mocked. Henry dashed out of the kitchen in quite a fit of rage, but he would prove to his dad he wasn’t lying.

The sun began to shine its glorious light on the earth. Henry had already packed everything he needed and set out as early as possible. He passed through the center of the village into the forest.

Arianna woke up beside Rava. She looked at her sister,

“she’s still sleeping,” she stroked her body. “I better go look for food before she wakes up.” she grabbed her spear and ran into the forest. She searched everywhere and managed to find a bear cub. The cub was asleep beside its mother,

“if I can get the mother, then the baby would be no problem,” she licked her lips, her survival instincts coming on. “or maybe I can just have both for myself.” she advanced slowly until she stepped on a twig and the mother bear woke up, but her baby remained asleep. The mother bear could clearly smell Arianna, so she just decided to show herself. They both circled each other, but Arianna had a plan.

The mother bear charged towards her, but Arianna moved away. To be honest, the mother bear was quite clumsy or maybe Arianna’s just too fast. Arianna ran towards the adult bear, she used her spear to propel herself over the bear, doing a flip in the process and simultaneously dodging the bear’s claw. She landed behind the bear and impaled her spear from the back through the heart. The bear groaned and fell to the floor.

“bingo,” she smirked. The mother’s groan had woken up the cub. It tried to run away but Arianna slew it.

“So sad you both have to die.” she shook her head. Her spear was all bloody,

“well time for a bath.” she sighed. She managed to drag both corpses with a makeshift platform, wash and cook it before Rava woke up. She went to her sister,

“Rava,” she called stroking behind her ears, “breakfast is ready.” Rava slowly woke up and rubbed her face against her sister’s. she giggled,

“good morning to you too.” she brought the roasted meat on a big leaf and put it in front of her. She immediately took a bite. She trusted her sister so much she didn’t need to smell it. Arianna took a piece and threw it into her mouth. They were eating peacefully until Rava got up and started to limp into the forest,

“wait Rava! Where are you going?!” she chased after her sister.
