Wandering *Only Emily*

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

A muscular young man strolled along the shore of the beach, the sky looming over his blondy/brown head or hair, stars shining brightly in the velvety night sky. The sounds of crashing waves was all that was heard as he placed each foot in front of the other, the sand creeping over his toes. He thought about things, things in his life that had made him who he was, he thought about the girl he had a crush on for so long, but knew she would never be his, and he thought about his life, what it might have been, if his parents hadn't have left him at the Orphanage, all those years ago

Stopping when he spotted his hut in the distance, he sat down and gazed over the water, the silver reflection of the moon shining brightly. "If only......" he mumbled to himself, his voice was crisp yet deep with maturity. He shut his eyes and layed on him back, his hands under his head, gazing at the stars that glowed over his head, thinking of how beautiful they were

The air flowed smoothly through the young girls lungs as she walked along the beach, a huge stripes figure playfully bounding along her side. Emily looked down at the young tiger cub, his lead gripped in her hand tightly as she moved along, the small breeze ruffling her long light brown hair as she moved bare-footed across the sand.

Scrap's bright blue eyes scanned the beach, his white paws scimming lightly across the ground. He spotted James up ahead and nudged Emily softing in the leg with his nose as he pelted forward, giving a few small growls as he dragged Emily along after him.

Emily gave a small laugh, using little of her strength to stop the young tiger as they came closer to James. 'Oi, Scrap!' she laughed, giving a small growl.

The growling sound that echoed in his ears set James straight up as he spotted the young tiger cub dragging what appeared to be a person. He spotted her as she neared and pulled the cub to a halt. He got to his feet again and walked over to her, smiling as he realised it was a young lady....Geeze, shes pretty......He shook his head and looked at her, smiling, "You need a hand?" he asked polietly offering her a hand with a smile, he patted the tiger cub gently with the other hand, pulling it away slowly, hoping it wouldn't bite.

"I'm James by the way, just James" he added gently, his eyes glittering warmly as he watched the young lady

Emily gave him a warm smile, tucking her hair behind her ear as she looked down at the cub. 'Thanks, But I'll survive, he is just a bit hyper tonight,' She said with grin. Emily took his hand giving it a soft shake, her green eyes glittering in the afternoon light. ''Sorry, I'm Emily, Emily Iris, its nice to meet someone new,' she said as Scrap nudged her lega agin. 'Oh and this is Scrap,' she said, knealing down and giving his ears a rough scratch before standing up again.

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

James smiled and laughed a little at the cub, getting down on his knees, he copyed Emily with a quick scratch behind the cub's ear, "Fiesty little thing aren't cha" he murmered with a smile. Getting back to his feet he smiled at her, "Its always nice to meet someone new. So where are you from? I haven't seen you around here before"

He asked happily, about to sit down but remembering the cub was there, how it might decide to jump on him. Instead he let out a warm sigh and gazed at the stars above the three of them, His eyes beginning to glitter with the silver from the starts and what was there of the moon

[://Ðøçtøя §kÿ]

Emily gave a smile, sighing softly. 'Oh, yeah I spend most of my time back at the reserve with the cats, This one lives with me on one of the cliffs looking over the park,' she said, following his gaze for a moment before looking back down at the rather jumpy Scrap.

She looked at James softly for a moment. 'Also I've resently got back from africa and haven't really been out much since,' she said, giving another sigh and sitting down on the sand, Scrap lying down next to her and giving a small yawn.

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

James smiled happily and sat close to her, it was always warmer with the company of another, and alot more nicer. He patted the cub a few times, watching it was surprise when it yawned, showing its growing canine teeth, thinking how this was one day going to be something that humans have claimed as man eaters.

So you work with big cats? Must be a good job, I know I'd love to work with these wonderful animals" he whispered quietly, he always talked quieter when the moon was over his head, he enjoyed listening to the crashing of the waves, and didn't want to disturb the deadly peace that was surrounding them two

[://Ðøçtøя §kÿ]

Emily smiled softly, nodding lightly as Scrap gave a purr, streaching out his long legs and lying his head down on the sand with a peaceful sigh. Emily gave a small laugh, running her hand over his silky fur. 'Yeah, Its great, I'm training to be one of the vets,' she said, looking out to the waves.

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

James smiled happily, "Thats great!!" he whispered with delight to her, gazing over the moonlit water, the reflection of it glittering in his brown eyes. He wished much he had a job like that, but something like that would require and education, and you would need to be smart according to the people who work at places like that.

That wasn't him, he had never gone to school, never got any sort of education, no background of any sort to do with education, there was no way he was going to get this, he was lucky with the job he had at the moment, no hope of getting any better

[://Ðøçtøя §kÿ]

Emily nodded in agreement. 'I've wanted to do it all my life,' she said softly Looking at James softly as Scrap gave a small growl, moving his head onto her leg and looking up at her. Emily gave a gentle sigh, ruffling his ears softly. 'This one says it's dinner time, so I'd be getting home,' she said softly with a gentle sigh, smiling softly.

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

James almost let out a large awwwww as she said she had to leave, he was quite enjoying this time out here with her. Sighing, he got to his feet and offered her a hand again, he wanted to see how soft her skin was. "Now that is just too bad" he said with another sigh, I'll have to meet you again sometime? How about lunch or dinner tomorrow at the Goldgate?"

He would've like to spent the day with her, but he was working in the morning, had a very early shift, and he didn't want to present himself to her in a dirty state he usually ended up after work.

[://Ðøçtøя §kÿ]

Emily smiled and took his hand softly as the tiger cub followed suit. 'Sure, sounds great,' she said warmly, glancing at the hyper tiger cub before back up at James. 'That would be nice, but This one will have to go spend time in the reserve,' she said, knealing down and giving Scrap and few light punched in the side to recieve a light batter over the head and a playful growl as she stood up again, watching him.

[»╠ƒlåmêÿ╣«]

James smiled happily, the cub was so adorable....but not nearly as much as Emily was to him. "Ok, Tomorrow Night, Dinner, See ya there!" he said giving her shoulder a gentle punch before slowly jogging back to his hut. He stopped and looked at the stars, thinking for a moment before sprinting back to her, and squeezing her in his arms, smiling, he gave her a wink before turning and sprinting off, he'd best get some sleep

[://Ðøçtøя §kÿ]

Emily gave a small smile, watching him jog across the beach for a second time before giving a small growl to Scrap as he turned and started on his powerful bounce back to the house. She glanced back to his hut once more before focusing on the cub and jogging forward, back along the sand.
