It's not a phase, DAD

Finally I get a chance to reply! omg so nervous for thos thread :o
Sorry if the post sucks, I'm not feeling the flow today... :s

Things had gone out of hand after the storm. Keith, confused and deafened by the whirlwind that had striked so close to them, had managed to get himself and Cara out of the hole in which they would have died, and luckily, Alusia had been able to follow. They seeked shelter in the northern corner of the valley and had secluided themselves there until it felt safe to go out, and ever since it had been a nightmare. The valley that Keith had wanted to settle in with Cara had been totally destroyed by the tornado, and now they needed to find safety far away from it. The place was uninhabitable.

But sheltered from the storm, a corner of the large valley had remained almost untouched. Save from a couple torn branches and ruffled treetops, the Lotus Springs was still the oasis it has always been, and Keith was enjoying the last of it before departing with his lover.

The water, cold as always, was refreshing in Keith's skin as he dipped in for a bath. The first one since the storm. He was so focused on himself and on what to do next with Cara that he was unaware of the presence of a certain teenager nearby, and currently he was just enjoying the water with his eyes closed. Had he known she was there, or who she was, things would change drastically for him.
