he went out and laid down in the pathway at the side and started
preening the feather's on his wing's, feeling little bit's of dirt
already back between them and driving him insane.
''your fine.... it's understandable since you did tell me to stay
away from your sister and didn't.. but you can't keep making
choices for her... heck i'd be the same way if i had a sister''
nathan said.
''i'm pretty much guessing she's gonna talk your ear off once she
does so, so uh.. good luck bud'' he said, standing up and then
headed back into the grotto.
nathan shifted back to his human for and sat back down where he had
been when he woke up, then looked at bailey and smiled softly, then
shifted his weight and laid down on the ground beside her.
nathan reached up and cupped her cheek, leaning forward as he
kissed her on the forehead.
''hey sleepy head...'' he mumbled.
~~~~~
jackson muttered something quietly in his sleep and hugged himself
in his sleep, faint tear's beginning to swell up in his eye's.
he smiled and held her close, nuzzling her affectionately.
~~~~~
jackson whimpered slightly in his sleep and curled up a bit.
a small silver locket fell from underneath his shirt and the locket
hit the ground.
the locket was a small watch and also held a small family portrait
with him looking about 6 year's old with his mother and father, all
three of them smiling happily.
