cried out tears of joy as she hugged the confused bear. The beast seemed to snuggle a little in her neck before pulling away. It looked to the wolf creature sitting against a tree, heaving and snarling. The bear turned away and marched off into the forest. Ilara picked herself up and stared at the wolf beast as it remained sitting against the tree.
    Staring at the creature, she could see blood dripping from its shoulder wounds. The wolf made no move and gazed silently at the naked nymph. Ilara took a step forward and the beast snarled. Stepping back, worry seeped into her eyes. Even with the distance between them, the nymph could taste Aiden’s scent. Tearing herself from the sight of him, she ran off to the pond. Hurt feelings crowded Ilara’s heart and water surrounded her body. She saw it in the wolf’s eyes, it told her to stay away.
    Emotions exploding, the nymph swam back to the surface, determined to help the wounded beast. When she broke the surface, she looked to the tree where the wolf was sitting only to find it bare. Looking around, she saw no sign of the wolf, only the full moon rising high in the night sky.
    ***
    Ilara floated at the bottom of her pond. She couldn’t bring herself to hide in her cave. Looking up, she searched for any sign of Aiden. The purple night sky turned as stars blinked across the heavens. Eyes getting heavy, the nymph fell into a troubled sleep, thoughts swimming with the kind man who shared fruit with her and the beast that tried to protect her.
    The darkness faded and bright light washed away jagged dreams. Blinking, the nymph looked up to see the glow of a new day. Shafts of sunlight penetrated her underwater world and warmed her skin. Kicking against the muddy floor, Ilara swam to the surface. Deep down the nymph knew what she had to do, for both of them.
    Breaking the surface, the nymph looked to the camp site. Lying on the ground was Aiden on his back naked. Ilara swam to the edge and stepped out of the comforting waters. Rushing to Aiden, the nymph kneeled by him, his eyes closed and mouth partly open. Oval eyes moved to his shoulder and three large gashes oozed red. The wounds were not healing and fear stabbed at the nymph’s heart.
    Ilara placed her hand on Aiden’s chest, close to his bloody gashes. His heartbeat was dim. She could barely feel it. Letting her healing energy flow, warmth spread outward. Aiden was still, pale and unmoving. Eyes watering, Ilara tried to focus on healing. The air was still as the nymph poured all her energy into him. Long moments passed until Aiden’s heart beat quickened.
    Tears turning into joy, Ilara watched as the wounds in Aiden’s shoulder started to close and knit together. Not long after, the wounds sealed and Aiden’s eyes opened. Bright green pools turned to the nymph and a small smile bloomed.
    “Good morning.” Aiden said softly.
    Ilara threw herself on him, holding him fiercely. Strong arms wrapped around her small frame and held her close. Birds chirped in the distance as the two embraced, hearts beating in sync inches apart.
    “How do you feel?” Ilara whispered in Aiden’s ear.
    “I feel amazing. How are you?”
    Ilara smiled. “Better now.”
    Aiden’s hand moved along the nymph’s back, feeling soft skin under fingertips. Ilara moved her head back enough to look into his emerald eyes. The nymph just realized she was completely on top of him. He must have been feeling better because something grew hard between them.
    The nymph laughed and quickly was back on her feet. Gazing down, she giggled as Aiden could not hide his affection for her. The man didn’t hide how he felt as he sat up, confidence in his eyes. The blue haired nymph could not contain her glee. Still giggling, she ran off to the water’s edge of her pond. Aiden watched as the nymph winked and dived into the clear waters.
    Aiden was soon at his feet and striding over to the water’s edge. The playful nymph swam along the surface, letting him look at
