Six Sentence Sunday – Ether 3

Hello Sunday visitors! Missed me last Sunday? Sorry, busy busy… here we are again, with Kamar and Joyspring. Another ten years have passed when they meet again. The first scene was in Kamar's POV, but I thought I'd stick to Joyspring's for these excerpts. Links to part 1 and part 2.

She had mixed feelings about him: she remembered the baby she had held in her arms, and the proud father who had refused to go back to so-called civilization; but those feelings belonged to the old Joyspring, the innocent who hadn't met Edwyn Blackmore and his lust. She remembered also the little hands of the six-year-old fondling with her gown and legs, almost pushing her up and running in panic – what would the oblivious child have understood if she hadn't controlled herself? Once out of touch, his crystal laughter had been a balm on her wounds.

Although her mother had healed her body and time had almost erased her adventure with darkness, she still felt uneasy in the presence of male Humans, especially the ones that lusted for her. She had learned to keep them away without turning into a hysteric bubble, and had never allowed anyone to touch her.

Kamar was different, though.
