Shimma snickered as she gazed through the bushes at the waterfall. She had seen Kaliel and Krishani come and go from it frequently every day for the past few moons. It was no secret they were trespassing, and who knew what they were talking about inside the cave. She waited for them to emerge and, minutes later, saw Krishani descend the stone stairway, followed by Kaliel. He stopped, grabbed her hand and spun her around, his lips finding hers.

Shimma felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

“Why are you lurking?” Kazza asked as she sidled up beside her in the bushes. She followed her gaze and saw Kaliel and Krishani kissing against the stone by the waterfall. “That’s disgusting.”

“It’s unfortunate,” Shimma muttered.

“Why?”

“I hope she’s still pure.” She nervously chewed on her lip as the two broke apart and Kaliel laughed.

Kazza rolled her eyes. “They’re acting like feorns. You really think Istar will allow them to remain together?”

“I don’t think he knows.” Shimma ducked further into the bushes as Krishani’s gaze pierced the forest. He seemed to be the type who would be cautious enough to make sure he and Kaliel were alone, but Shimma was sly.

“That’s interesting. I thought he knew everything that went on in Avristar,” Kazza said.

“Apparently not.” Shimma was disgruntled about their attempts to help Kuruny, their sister, all of which had failed because of Istar.

“You still want her blood for the ritual, don’t you?”

Shimma shot her a foxy smile. “It’s not want, it’s need.” She turned her attention back to the lovebirds that played near the edge of the pond. “If that continues I won’t get my chance.”

Kazza shook her head as Krishani pulled Kaliel into his embrace again. “I have to stop watching this. I’ll let Kuruny know. Maybe we can separate them somehow.”

“Aye, with him around we’ll never get near her.”

“With him around you’ll likely get hurt,” Kazza said as she slunk into the forest brush, preparing to leave.

Shimma turned and crossed her arms, stepping away from her vantage point. “Then I’ll wait until she’s alone.”
