She was wearing leopard skin shoes with killer heels.Some lucky guy has a hot date I was thinking to myself when I noticed she was looking in my direc...ion, a half smile curling on her lips and her green eyes dancing. I almost chocked on my drink, but managed to smile back and raise my glass in a salute.Next thing I know she’s slipped off the barstool and is walking in my direction, and boy what a walk, just like a catwalk model. A moment later she had slid onto the seat next to me, crossed her. We could end up getting married. What do you say aboutthat?" "If the impossible should happen and if I marry you it would haveto be my way!" "I don't have any problem with that. All I ask is you give me achance. Tell what you want and I'll do it." She thought about what he said and wondered how she could him offthe track leading to marriage. She liked him and his gentle ways.He had not even pushed her to kiss him yet." The next day she knew how to turn him off. If he brought up thesubject. A face which bore greater resemblance to something reptilian than humanoid.That face looked out onto the sea, from a spot near the opposite end of the Valley. The branches above stretched in that direction also, providing a canopy over the rectangular stone edifice between the face and where the non-hidden stream cut through the Valley floor.Animals dotted the lush landscape. Small scavengers and large herbivores were the most numerous, although there were others. A few predators, and winged. Her body was also badly mutilated. By the side of the cabin lay the body of a tiny baby with it's head smashed nearly flat.From the dried blood splatter on the log end of the partially standing cabin corner, it appeared the child had been swung by the feet with full force against the log end. A little mongrel dog lay a short distance away, two arrows protruding from his side. Julie stumbled away a short distance, a hand over her mouth in horror, and emptied the contents of her stomach. Jase.
