“Oh,” is all Mako can initially muster. Afraid of storms? she thinks, suddenly feeling as if she is responsible for placing him beneath the thunder. Her eyes flit slowly to the bulging clouds and then back down to Garett’s unwavering green gaze. The rain continues to fall, slowly picking up its pace as if to build to something huge. Mako quickly comes to a decision.
“We should get you out of here, then,” she calls over the noise.
The edge of the Meadow and the Forest isn’t too far off, and if they run fast enough, they should be able to find cover beneath the canopy before the downpour is blinding. “Let’s get beneath the trees!” she calls while turning, hoping the sight of her galloping through the wavering grass will spur him into action.
A strike of lightning crosses the sky, illuminating everything in such sharp silver that Mako thinks she cut herself. For a moment, she forgets about her frightened companion, exhilaration and wonder giving her tunnel vision. Alive, so alive! She feels so alive and it takes the last shred of herself to remain on course to the trees.
Clap. And then a flash.
Mako comes to a reckless halt beneath the canopy. Damp leaves squelch beneath her back hooves when she pivots to look for Garett, eyes wild enough to rival the lightning above. Suddenly, she grows hot and embarrassed, taking a step back and tucking her chin close to her chest.
“Sorry I teased you . . . I’m Mako.”
