Me? Well my name is ~*Hedwig*~, but this isn't about me, it is about him v v
Kaleb
Male
Kaleb is a jokster. He is kind and trustworthy. He doesn't like to let othrs into his life, though you can trust him, he may not always trust you. He is brave, loyal, and trustworthy. He has a bit of an odd way of showing his emothions. He has been secretly falling head over heels for
Vrea and he doesn't know it, and neithr does she, but she is falling in love with him as well.
(Just in case you are wondering about the text, he writes kind girly, but that is his handwriting.)
Kaleb was young when it happend. His three year old world crumbled. His family's house caught on fire. As the house set ablaze, the fire consuming it, licking the walls and painting the house with ashes, the family immediatly began to flee, but Kaleb cound't help but think that there had to be something that they could do, being red jewles and all. He ran back into the blaze, and thought about the fire stopping and tried to use his powers to make it stop, to save his family, and himself. As he stood in the blazing house, it crumbling around him, he felt a strange burnning on his tail. He turned to look at his tail, and saw red markings appearing on his cream colored tail. Now he knew he must save his house. Using all of his strength trying to stop the flame with his powers, Kaleb slowly collapsed onto the floor and the last thing he saw before his eyes forced themselves closed, was the blaze, slowly extinquishing. He awoke the next morning, the sun shining on a half destroyed house, his family weeping by his side. He slowly sat up, his family overjoyed that he was okay. "Your tail..." his mother stamered. "Why....What...." his mother stamered. "I don't know, I just knew I was determind to save this house, and no matter how scared I was, I would do anything to save it." Kaleb said thoughtfully.
A YEAR LATER:Kaleb sat on the sand, watching the waves crash on the shore. It was a beautiful day at the beach. He watched his younger sister Ariana play by the water. A young female JMD walked over to his younger sister. "Hello there sweetheart! How are you?" she asked. Her voice was soft as silk and sweet as roses. "I'm good!" his sister exclaimed. "Do you know how to swim?" the kind female asked her. "Not really, I tried once, but I just can't quite go anyhere." Ariana said sadly. "C'mon!" said the female. "Oh, and can I ask you something?" the female asked kindly. "Um, sure." said Alaina. "What's your name?" "OH! I'm Ariana! What's yours?" "I'm Vrea." said the young female "It is very nice to meet you!" "Can you teach me how to swim now!?" asked Alaina excitedly. "Hehe," Vrea laughed. "Yes!" They walked over to the shore line and Kaleb could tell Vrea was saying something to Alaina, but he could no longer make out what they were saying, but based on the motions Vrea was making, he was posotive she was teaching Ariana how to swim. "Wow" thought Kaleb. "She is so kind, so caring, so graceful and beautiful and so....so....perfect." Kaleb slowly stood up to wak over to Alaina and Vrea, just thinking the gorgeous name made him happy, who were now in the water, when suddenly, Kaleb heard Ariana scream.
"RUN!" Vrea yelled to Ariana over the sudden sound of crashing waves. "I'll distract it! Just swim just like I showed you!" Vrea yelled as she suddenly started flailing. "Good girl Ariana! Now just go to shore! Good now you stay there!" Vrea continued to try to keep the young girl calm as she started flailing in the water. "Kaleb!" Alaina screamed. "Help her!" At the command Kaleb shot over to the shore line. "What is it!?!" Kaleb eclaimed to Ariana. She started to tear up "A...a shark!" "No," Kaleb whispered. He shot into the water. "Vrea!" he yelled. The last thing he saw of her was her eyes light up at the sight of him, then the shark, her leg in its mouth, dragged her under. "Wow, if I was to live any longer," Vrea thought." I would definatly want to get to know him. But at least Ariana is safe." Kaleb swam underneath the water, spotted the shark, and swam over to it. "Ok, well I found the shark, and Vrea is no longer concious, but she has to still be alive. She just has to be. But how do I get the shark to let go?" Kaleb was having a bit of an internal conflict as he finally decided just running into the shark was about the only chance he had at the moment. He swam to the surface, took a huge gasp of air, and swam back under. Right into the sharks side he shot, the shark turned, surprised, but hadn't let go of the limp and lifless looking Vrea. Suddenly Kaleb had an idea. "My jewl! I can use my jewel! I don't know if I am smart for thinking of that, or stupid for taking that long to think of it." He took his tail and swiped it at the side of the sharks jaw, catching it right on the side of the jaw and leaving a jagged mark on its face. The shark angrily dropped Vrea and lungged at Kaleb.
"Wow, if I live through this, how cool will it be to say 'Yea, I fought a shark, oh an uh, ha, I won' but only if I can outrun him." Kaleb quickly swam down and scooped up Vrea, carfully slidding her over his back, her gorgeous face, now sadd and limp, her leg, now gashed and scarred. "No, you will live, even if I dont." Keleb thought to Vrea and he suddenly felt a strange burning on his legs and chest, loking down, there were more red marks that appeared on him, just like the ones on his tail from just a year ago. He swam quickly toward the surface of the water and towards the shore. The shark was made for the water, and definatly faster than Kaleb, on land. "If I can just get to the shore and onto the beach, all three of us will be safe. I can't let Ariana go without someone to watcher her, being so young and our parents now being gone (that is another story), I just can't let her, or Vrea, go without anyone being there for them." Kaleb thought this and knew he had to get to the shore. With a sudden burst of speed and strength, Kaleb shot to the shore line, making it just beofre the shark.
He ran, still carrying Vera on his back, then yelling to Ariana to follow him. Continuing to run only until he reached the shade of a palm tree, and carfully laid Vrea down on the sand. He laid beside her and prayed she wasn't dead. "She can't be dead" he said to Ariana, thinking he was comforting her, but really just trying to comfort himself. Then he started to sing to her, his voice sort and afraid, but beautiful as he sung a favorite lulluby of his. "If only, if only the woodpecker sighed," Kaleb syarted to sing, then Ariana cstarted to sing with him, in perfect harmony, her voice as bright and shining as the sun. "The bark on this tree was as soft as the skies, stay strong you weary wolf, hungry and lonley, fly high my baby bird, my angel, my only." Kaleb and Ariana finished together, they turned and smiled a small, sad smile and Kaleb layed his head on Vrea's chest.
Suddenly, Vrea let out a small cough and a huge gasp for air. Kaleb and Ariana's eyes light up. "She's okay!" Ariana squealed and ran over to Vrea's side. Vrea slowly sat up and seeing Arian, she quickly scooped her up in her arms and sqeezed her. "You'r okay! Oh I was so worried the shark might get you!" Vrea said to Arian. " He didn'y get her, but he sure got you." Kaleb said softly to Vrea, who then turned to look at him. She then crefully set down Ariana and said to Kaleb, "Thank you so much, I don't know what would have happend to me if you hadn't come." Kaleb blushed, and so did Vrea, as he walked over to her. She then embraced him in a hug. "Oh, and can I ask you a personal question?" She asked him. "What?" he responded. "Your name?" she said. "Kaleb." "Vrea." she responded. He extended a paw, "Nice to meet you." Vrea took it in her own and shook it. "Same here."
Then Ariana exclaimed "Kaleb! Your legs! And your chest!" Vrea looked at his chest, now covered with strange red markings. "Like your tail" Vrea said thoughtfully. "How do these keep appearing?" Kaleb thought. "Hey," Kaleb said to Vrea. "You got a place to stay?" "Well, just hre, there, wherever I can hid for the night." Vrea said. "How would you like to stay with me and Kaleb!?" Ariana squealed. "Haha, no Ariana. But she can stay in the house right next to ours." Kaleb said. "Really!" Vrea said happily. "Yea!" said Kaleb. "I can't let someone who saved my little sister just live on the streets!" he said to her. "Thank you so much." said Vrea as she went to stand, then quickly collapsing. "UH, my leg!" she said in pain. She turned and looked at her leg, torn and scarred and covered in blood. "It looks like yours." Vrea said, trying to lighten the mood. "Haha." Kaleb laughed. "How did you get those anyway?" Vrea asked as Kaleb started to examine her leg. "Well" he started. Suddenly Vrea took a big, deep gasp of air in. "Sorry!" Kaleb said as he walked over to her head, holding soething in his teeth. "Looks like the shark left you a little gift." he finished. He dropped the object, it was a tooth. "It was left in your leg!" Kaleb said. "Thank you." Vrea said. "I'll help you to your new home." Kaleb said. "I'll tell you the story of how I got these," he started, motioning to the marklings on his tail, "on the way there."
So Kaleb and Ariana helped Vrea back to the house. On the way,Kaleb explained to Vrea about the house and the fire and how he got the markings. Him and Ariana then helped Vrea get settled into her new house and fixed her leg. Vrea made a gorgeous leather necklace out of the tooth for Kaleb, who loved the gift, said he had always loved sharks teeth, off the shark of course.
3 YEARS LATER(From Kaleb's point of view)
"Kaleb" Ariana whispered to me. I slowly opened my eyes. It was still dark outside and by judging the position of the moon, I could tell it was around 2 in the morning. "What's up?" I asked her tiredly, proping myself up with a front paw. "There is...ther's something in the house" Ariana said, her voice shaking. "Yea," I replyed. "Us." "NO!" she said defiantly. "I mean something else, something that shouldn't be here." "Ok," I said, "I'll go take a look." So I got up and Ariana lead the way to her room. She sat on the bed and motioned for me to be quiet. "Shh, listen." she whispered. Suddenly I heard what she was talking about, there was a soft sliding sound, as I went to stand up to investigate, there was a loud crash, then the soung of quick, slithering. "A snake!" I whispered. "Whay is it alays the animals that start with s!?" I thought, thinking back to the shark. "You go over to Vrea's" I told Ariana "I will go try to get it out." So I led her to a window in my room, where she wouldn't have to risk herself by passing the snake to leave. "Just tell her to stay there, and I will come over to get you when the snake is gone." I told her, and watched her walk over to Vrea's and go in, when the lights came on, I walked back to the hallway and got ready to get rid of the snake. I slowly walked down the hall, passing the room that used to belong to my parents, and walked to the den, and upon seeing a broken vase full of flowers Vrea had grown, I knew I was in the right place. Then, suddenly, it shot right out from under me and bit me on the nose. There is that saying, "You wouldn't see it if it bit you on the nose." Well this brings a whole new meaning to that.
I looked closely at the snake, which was hard since i was practically crossing my eyes, then seeing that it was yellow, red and black, I rolled my eyes and thought hard back to thesaying my mother had once said. "Red on black is a friend of Jack, Red on yellow will kill a fellow", I still havn't found out who Jack is, but I wish I was him right now, since his snake wasn't piosonus. I could feel the pioson sinking into my blood, and I was already starting to get weeker. I continued to struggle against the snakes grip, but, unable to open my mouth since it had a grip completley around my muzzle, I was a bit out of luck. Suddenly the door banged open, and Vrea came running in, carrying a sleepy Ariana, but at the sound, the snake wrapped its body around my neck, squeezing around on my windpipes. "Vrea, get out of here." I gasped for air, barley making out the sentence. I just made out over the face of the snake, the shape of Vrea carefully carying Ariana on her back into her room, she tucked her in and shut the door as she came out. My vision was blurring, my breathing, shallow. All I saw before the snake got the better of me was Vrea spin around, her gorgeous gray and white mane flying with the speed, then her tail, coming down at my neck. "She is killing!" i exclaimed in my head. "And to think I was in love with the JMD that killed me!?" I thought to myself. "Wait, did I just say I am in love with her?" I thought. I couldn't be;eive it! "I guess dying brings out some things about you!" I thought, but then, as I gasped my last breath and closed my eyes, bracing myself for the blow of her gorgeous gem, shimering in the light of the moon, to kill me, I felt the snake's grip realese.
I opened my eyes slowly, Vrea stood in front of me, she straightened herself and blew her mane out of her eyes. I glanced at her tail jewel, now covered with blood. I slowly sat up and looked at the ground around me, the snake lay on the ground, in peices, still moving a little it, but sliced cleanly into chunks. "Wow." I said, looking up at her. She looked down at me with a smile, flipping her mane off her face again. Then her face turned pale as she looked at the snake. "You know that-" "Yes" I interrupted her, "I know it was poisonous, but I'm fine." I said as I started to stand up, but the poison took a toll on me, and I dropped to the ground. "Kaleb!" Vrea exclaimed. I didn't know if there was anyway I could fight the poison, but I suddenly felt Vrea slip her muzzle under my shoulder, she picked my up and cargully slid me down her neck and onto her back, she cargully slid me a bit farther over her back and carried me to my room. "It's almost like a vice versa Déjà vu." Vrea said, trying to lighten the mood. I started to laugh, but pain quickly succumbed me. Drops of my blood slowly dripped from my muzzle to Vrea's white fur. She slowly laid me down on my little cot and looked at my face. "Your face!" she exclaimed. "What!?!" I exclaimed, scared. "It's turned red!" "Well yes, usually when a snake bites your nose-" "No!" she said with a small giggle. "More red marks!" "Oh, man these things just keep coming!" I responded, curiously. "Why did you do that?" Vrea then asked. "Do what?" I asked, honestly having no idea. "Think you could just take the snake by yourself. What would have happened if I hadn't gotten here in time? What would have happened?" she shed a tear. "It wouldn't matter what happened to me, because you and Ariana would have been safe." She then went out the window, grew some herbs using her jewel, and brought them back in. She carefully applied them to my woulds. "This one will absorb and pull out the poison" she explained as she gently pressed the leaves against the bites on my muzzle. "And this will close the bite wounds." she said as she pressed the last few leaves against my muzzle. "There, good as new" she said to me. She looked at me, and it took all the courage I had to look right back, my red eyes piercing hers. "Your wings!" she suddenly exclaimed. "What!?!" I need my wings! "The red marks are on your wings too!" "Wow, this is starting to become really strange!" "Tell me about it!"
"Kaleb," Vrea said, sounding a bit sad. "Whats up?" "I think I am going to leave" she replied. "Well then I will see you tommiriw morning. Good night." I told her, not understanding why she was so upset, it had to be at least 5:30 in the morning now. "No," she said, her voice shaking " I mean leave here. This house, this town, I need to go find me." "B-bb-but why?" I exclaimed, my eyes welling up. "Well its just, you and Ariana, you two are here and happy, but I need to go find, me. I'm sorry, but, I just gave to go, I've been thinking about this for a while and-" she broke off. "I've just got to go." She looked at me, a tear slinging down her gorgeous cheek. She started out the window. I kept out after her. She started off, she walked into her house, and came out with her necklace her sister had given her, and the sailor knot braclet Ariana had made her. I quickly slipped off the necklace she had given me and laid it on the ground. I took my tail jewel and cut a peice if the braided leather off. I walked over to Vrea who was studying the stars for a moment, I carefully tapped her shoulder. "Kaleb!?" Vrea exclaimed. "I didn't know you were following me." I held out the peice of leather I had cut off of my necklace and burned the ends together. "Give me your paw." I told her. She held it out and I slipped the peice if leather over her paw and tightend it. "Oh Kaleb!" she said looking at it. "Thank you do much, now I will always have a part of you with me." she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. She ran over to me and gave me a hug. I supprised myself by having the courage to return the hug. She gave me a sad smile and then started walking. "Take care of Ariana for me will ya?" she asked. "Oh, and stay away from animals that start with an S. don't get into a fight with a seagull or something." she said, trying to smile through the tears. "Good bye." she said, and she started walking away. But I had realized I loved her, could I really let her leave without her knowing I loved her.
"I just realized I love him" Vrea thought. "Can I really leave without him knowing I love him." With one last secret glance at the JMD she had apparently fallen in love with over her shoulder, she continued to head off. "Wait!" Kaleb's voice cut through the night. I turned slowly he sat on the grass, a paw extended, trying to grasp something he couldn't quite reach. Our eyes met, both filled with tears. "Wait......I can't live without you." Kaleb said, as he stood bravely. "What?" I whispered. "I...I love you" he whispered back. I just stared at him for a moment. No one had ever liked me alot, let alone loved me. He suddenly looked scared, frightened, as if he wished he hadn't said that, but as he turned slowly, a gorgeous mark apeared on his hip. "Kaleb," I whispered, "your hip!" He turned and looked at his hip. "Now I know," he started. "Know what?" I asked, walking over and huddling next to him, the night was cold. He looked at me and smiled, then huddling closer to me, he said "Now I know why the markings kept appearing. They started when I was young, when I saved our house from burning down," and we both glanced over at the house where Ariana was sleeping. "If I hadn't saved the house, I wouldn't still be living here with Ariana. If I hadn't still been living here with Ariana, I wouldn't have met you that day on the beach. If I hadn't met you that day on the beach, I wouldn't have saved you." we both looked at my left leg, the few scars that where left shined in the moon light. "If I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have come to stay here. And if I hadn't met you, and you hadn't come to stay here, I would never have been happy, and would always have an empty space in my heart. Vrea," he whispered, "I love you." With those words, his markings glowed a firery red. "I know now, the markings came to lead the way for me. To lead me straight to you."
So basically, he got the markings each time he was brave and did something that would lead up to him and Vrea coming to that point. Yes he was brave after that, but he is now exactly where he needs to be.
(Sorry if this is too much. But he is the perfect JMD for Vrea and I just hit so excited I just made up this while story and *breathes* yea)
He always wears his leather
necklace that holds the tooth of an extinct Mako shark.
This is a pic of Kaleb that goes with the end. It says "Wait......I can't live without you"
