Annabelle laid upon the cool rocks of the canyon, her beak taking in all the water it could from the river. It had been a month of slumber that she had spent in the medical chambers after Cotnar had nearly killed her. Her throat was on its way in healing, but she dare not speak, much less breathe fire. She wasn't foolish. She was afraid of the pain that might come if she tried. Perhaps in a month or two, Anna would try again with the flames. Maybe half a month for speech. But for now, the freezing autumn water of the river, flavored by the falling leaves, was seemingly perfect. She rolled over onto her back, all four legs in the air, wings flat against the rocks, and closed her eyes. The breeze sent her feathers swaying back and forth like giant leaves, and it felt good against her face.

Nicole wasn't really sure why she had come here she had just stared walking. Her hair rustled as the wind blew it back. SHe lifted her head it felt good to feel the wind through her hair without any danger around. She spotted the river and made her way over to it sittind down to take a drink from its cool waters. She glanced up to see a griffon laying on its back enjoying the breeze as well. nicole must of startled it because the griffon quickly jumped up and faced her staring deeply into Nicole's eyes.

(Please don't god-mod  ) Anna stared at her for a moment, letting her heart settle down a bit. She had become a little jumpy since her battle with the shape-shifter. The animal sniffed the air. A Narnian. Or Telmar, she couldn't tell which. But they were friend. Annabelle trod over the rocks and made her way towards Nicole and sat down next to her, not minding a bit of company. |

(god-mod? what's that? Sorry if i did something wrong)
Nicole watched as the griffon made her way over to her. "Hello" was all she could manage as she let her eyes drift back to the water. She didn't feel any bad vibes from the griffon or any bad thoughts to speak of. So she slouched as she laid down looking at the sky she liked the griffon's company it made her feel good. THe trees rusled as the wind grew stronger causing several leaves to fall from the trees, as they followed the wind floating past Nicole's face.

(It's alright. It's when you take control of another person's character without permission)
Anna nodded a hello, and dipped her beak back into the water. She drank and drank and drank, not wanting to stop. She found that her throat suddenly turned dry at random times, probably some dumb side-effect to the medicine that they had given her. This was one of those times, and she was nothing but thirsty.

(oh sorry again...........i'm new so i didn't know)
Nicole still watched the clouds as she heard the griffon drink and drink and not stop. She sighed it was a beautiful but it was starting to get chillly as Nicole shivered involentary. "why was the wind picking up all of a sudden?" she thought. It was probably nothingso she just let it slide listing to the birds and the griffon's drinking.

(That's okay, lol. It's cool  ) Annabelle raised her head to listen to the girl's question. Then she lifted her wing and pointed across the sky to the sun, which was beginning to decend. The winds always picked up as the earth cooled down for the night. Then she put her mouth back into the river, barely tasting the cold liquid as it ran down her throat. |

Nicole was suprised as the griffon pointed to the sun. SHe hadn't meet anyone who had had the ability to mind read other than herself so it was unusual. She looked at the griffon was it natural for all griffons to read minds or was it just special for this one? Nicole didn't know what to think anymore she had had enough suprises. It was tiresome to think about all these things at once especially with what her brother had done. SHe stopped herself she didn't want the griffon to know about her past let alone her brother.

No, Anna couldn't mind-read. But she was a magical animal, and they could sense emotions in others. The confusion was what she had read. The griffin finished her drink and placed her head over her fore feet. Her eyes turned to the human as if she knew that something was bothering her. Annabelle would have asked normally, but for a few more weeks, she was mute. So instead she just watched her, hoping that she would pick up on her inquirey.

Nicole sat silently as the griffon finished. Nicole knew that the griffon wanted to know what was bothering her. Nicole shifted her weight to her feet as she stood it was getting late and she should probably get moving again. For some reason though she couldn't she wanted to stay but at the same time she knew she needed to leave. Nicole had figured out it wasn't mind reading the griffon possesed but the ability to sense feelings. "What could it hurt to stay" she thought to herself. Nicole was so confused she didn't know what to do anymore. She wanted to rely on someone to tell eveerything to but she also was scared to reveal anything at all. Nicole just stood there letting the wind rustle her hair and hit her face.

Anna looked at her sadly and sat up, ducking her head beneath Nicole's fingers, acting like a dumb animal that wanted to be pet. But the bandage around her thoat was itchy, and she couldn't scratch it without tearing it open with her claws. The griffin wanted to hear what was so troubling, and silently pleaded that the girl would get the itch for her. It was killing her not to scratch it.

Nicole laughed it had been a long time since she had laughed and it felt great. SHe ducked down and scratched the spot were the griffon wanted to be scratched. She noticed it then the bandages on her throat."What had happened to her?" she sighed. She really did want to tell the griffon so she stared slow. "If you really want to know what is bothering me I'll tell you." she said letting out a silent sigh. "First my name is Nicole, second you shouldn't trust me." Nicole said looking at the griffon. She waited to see if the griffon still wanted to be with her or if it would leave. For the griffons sake it would be best for her to leave.

The animal thumped her foot happily on the ground when she scratched the itch. Thank you. She thought. Then she lifted one talon and etched into the ground her name. Annabelle. Anna, for short. and turned back to Nicole, waiting to hear her story.

Nicole let out another laugh as the griffon tapped the ground with her foot. "Anna" she said aloud."It's a very pretty name, even if you were just thinking it you should never call yourself a dumb animal everyone deserves to ask for a scratch once on a while." she said smiling. "I guess you arn't going to leave huh?" Nicole said sitting back down leaning on the griffon but not to much that it might hurt her. It felt good to get close to someone again. SHe was happy, for over a month now she hadn't smiled let alone laugh but for once she was finally happy.

She looked up at her, confused. How had she known what she was thinking? The girl smelled of magic, and Anna assumed that that was the reason. But she had never heard of magic like that before. She shook her head when Nicole asked her if she was leaving. The beast let her lean against her, so long as she wasn't leaning on her throat, Anna was fine with it.
