Chapter Seven

Time went on the way it does in a desert: slowly, and yet in a blink. Soon, weeks had passed, and Black Feather’s clothing had worn down to shreds of their former selves. I no longer bothered with anything more than my shorts. We were only out at night, anyhow; I didn’t have to worry about protecting my skin or being seen. No one had ever found us and, as far as I could tell, no one was looking for us.

Black Feather developed as a hunter, and soon he began to impress me with his tool-making. He made some of the tough grasses by the waterhole into a kind of whip that flung small rocks out like deadly bullets, making our hunts faster and saving us a lot of energy. He also found some clay and fashioned a kind of bowl that he then fired on a high flame one day while I slept. I expected his usual pride to greet me when I woke up, but he must have been paying attention when I informed him that he was not in charge. Instead of a smug grin, I was greeted by a quiet, deep red bowl in the evening. I was so thrilled that I brought him the first round of water. It was the first time I had ever given a gift to someone.

One day, Black Feather turned to me and asked, “What exactly are we preparing for? What’s the point of all this training?”

“I think you know.”

He flung a rock at a mouse but missed by just a centimeter. The little thing scampered off as fast as it could, and he turned back to me. “I’m a little frightened to say it out loud.”

“You’ve survived living in the desert with me,” I assured him. “You should not fear anything.” I looked up to consult the Children. They looked happy that night, as if they were excited and waiting to see what we would do next. I smiled at them and then looked down to see Black Feather smiling at me.

“We’re taking down the president, aren’t we?”

I nodded. “His time is over. The two of us are going to worm our way into that castle of a mountain and tear him apart. He won’t know what hit him.”

“How are you going to do that? There’s no way you’ll be able to get in by water again.”

“I don’t need to,” I assured him. “I have your experience, and we have contacts with people on the inside. Besides,” I moved forward and touched his shoulder, “have you forgotten that you can fly?”

That morning, we sang to the rising sun with a strength we’d never sung with before. As the words floated into the sky, we made eye contact and found ourselves overcome with lust.

We went back to our cave and made love desperately, biting and tasting one another as if we would never see one another again. We both knew that after that day, everything would change. Everything would be a challenge.
