" Mira, are you alright? "
Braze had been staring at Mira, frozen but with his full attention, in case she reacted adversely to the medication. So far, she just stared back at him without blinking for a couple of minutes straight. Finally, she let out some consecutive hiccups, followed by a giddy smile.
Braze quickly reacted as she tried to suddenly get up. She was about to fall face down but he supported her with his back.
" You gained a lot of weight Braze... he... he! " she slapped his butt and poked him from either side at his waist, tickling him. " You became so chubby. I don't remember you being so fat. What have you been eating boy? " She laughed aloud at her own joke, leaving Braze flustered.
Mira sprang forward like a leopard. She was gone in the blink of an eye.
" Mira! " Braze yelled and tried following after her, but even with his animal instincts , it was hard catching up with her.
" Mira! Mira, where are you? Mira came back... You don't seem alright... Mira, can you hear me? "
Braze kept yelling with his hands cupped around his mouth, while running after her scent as fast as he could. However, instead of Mira, he was met with the other two.
" What's wrong? '' Xen shocked Braze as he suddenly appeared in front of him, out of nowhere, forcing him to stumble over Xen and roll over several feet, along with him.
" Where is Mira? Did you say something to upset her again? Where did she go? " Kian looked furious when he too couldn't sense Mira anywhere near.
" No! I didn't do anything. She was feeling... umm, thirsty... I told her it was okay to drink from me if she needed but instead, she tried a few drops from the vial that Guardian gave us. She began blabbering rubbish and then took off... just like that... " Braze threw hands and legs in his defense.
" I told you, I thought that Guardian dude looked fishy... But we must find her. We don't know if this potion thing even works. She can't be alone with those Darklings after us. Let's split up and look for her. "
Nobody questioned his suggestion. The boys immediately went in three directions, running faster than air.
Braze thought he caught sight of Nora's dress after running for a few miles.
" Mira, wait!" He sprang into his wolf form to keep up with her this time, because she was too fast.
" This girl..." He muttered in his head but surprisingly, he heard a response.
" What about this girl, huh? "
Mira was right behind him. She jumped on his back before he could turn back into his human form.
Mira grabbed the extra flesh behind the back of his neck like mother wolves carry their pups and then, slapped his butt once more like she did before running away.
She looked unusually cheerful. She pulled Braze's wolf face towards herself and planted a kiss on his wolf lips.
Braze had no idea how his body was reacting to this sudden stimulus.
Mira seemed like she was enjoying herself and there seemed no disorientation in her eyes. At Least she did not look drugged.
Mira slid under Braze, with his paws positioned beside her shoulders and hips. She grabbed his neck and pulled him towards herself. In a snap Braze turned back to his human form. Mira slid her hands effortless inside his hair and ran her hands over his bare chest.
" Mira... " Braze called her again, his voice almost cracking up, unable to control all the hormones bubbling at his pit, threatening to unleash the wild beast in him. Mira looked too seductive like that, smiling and inviting, slithering under him.
" Mira, are you aware of what you are doing? " He managed to finish his sentence but instead of answering she kept admiring his torso.
" Mira... Mira can you hear me... "
Suddenly Xen's faint voice, disturbed the silence building between them, from somewhere far away.
Mira's eyes lit up at that.
She pushed Braze back up and then made him bend all the way back, till his hands reached behind him for support.
She reached for his lips once more, planting a quick kiss before darting off once more. But when Braze tried to react, he found his hands tied with his ankles with his jacket. When she managed to do that, he had no clue.
There was definitely something wrong with Mira. But what exactly was wrong, he had no clue.
Mira went straight to where Xen was.
" I know you are here. "
Xen declared. " Why can't I summon you Mira?Are you willingly not responding? " He asked, still trying to spot her.
He could hear her giggle.
She leaped down in front of him, making him fall back. But he instantly reached out to grab her waist, trying to save her from the fall.
Xen's back rammed against a stone wall luckily and Mira banged on top of him. He held her tighter, constricting his grip.
They lay like that for sometimes, with Mira's head against his chest. She was tracing similar patterns on Xen's body, just like she was doing with Braze.
Xen gently stroked her hair.
" I was so worried... you have no idea. " He reached out to kiss her on the head but Mira grabbed his jacket and pressed her body further onto him.
Xen gulped.
He held her chin and lifted her head up, to see her face.
A smirk met his curious eyes.
His dilated eyes constricted.
Mira let her fingers run down from his forehead, over this nose and then his lips.
His lips parted but he was unable to form any words.
" Ummm... M... Mira..."
" Shhh! " She hissed in his face with such a dominance that he had never seen her before. It made her all the more attractive. Almost too attractive for him to handle. From the moment he had met her, all he wanted to do was carry her away. Somewhere far.... very far away.Alas! He was too late. She had already given her heart and had it broken. And they weren't particularly in a situation, where love could blossom. However, Mira was doing things to him at that moment without particularly goin much in reality.
Xen could only silently pray, to maintain his sanity.
