Namid: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Namid could almost feel the short strike of frustration as Micah sighed and began signing. It wasn't that she didn't want to know, though part of her was afraid to begin sharing so much with someone. Not to mention the intimacy of the link, the simple idea of touch was enough to cause Namid fear. Her need to retreat had become her first instinct since finally fleeing her nightmare. Still to turn him down almost made her feel guilty. Inara though didn't seem be so worried about offending anyone. Her need to keep herself and Namid safe over shadowed the instincts that seemed to scream for her to give in for once.

Inara's jaw clenched as she took in what Micah was telling them. She wondered if what he had been through could give some insight

She wasn't used to people looking at her as if she were an open book. It made her want to grab Namid and pull her back to some place safe, some place where no one could see their truth. Inara could care less what people thought of her for the most part. But she didn't want anyone to ever see Namid as she had once been. Namid though seemed to soften, her swirling emotion stifled back down to a manageable level as she took a deep breath. She wanted to cry, but she wasn't sure if it was for herself or for Micah.

As Micah finished Inara huffed and restrained the frustration building inside of her. She felt exposed, and chaschised all at the same time. "I didn't need to be preached to.' she sighed and ruffled her hair. Namid glared at Inara and elbowed her in the side, 'What, don't give me that...he...and..." she was about to just throw her hands up when Micah suddenly shifted.

Both girls stood there staring in disbelief, Inara wondered where Micah's gifts ended. How powerful was he really? Namid on the other hand stood in amazement at what she had just seen. She hesitantly knelt down, her legs tucked underneath her back side. The sound of her bell chiming as one hesitant hand reached out to the now small and fluffy Micah. Inara snorted and shook her head, "Cuteness will only get you so far mister." she sighed softly but seemed to relax her posture as Namid hesitantly went to touch

    You see, I had been in Kiera’s position not so long ago. I knew what it felt like to be told I wasn’t good enough, that because of my past God couldn’t use me, especially not in a ministry setting. All it took was one person to pour truth and words of affirmation into me for me to realize the plans the Lord had for me. I wanted so badly for Kiera to hear this message and I knew by the end of the week that she had. Kiera’s entire demeanor had changed and she was beginning to throw away her fears.…

    I walked through Whiterun chatting to some of the locals who I now knew well enough to make casual conversation with, I was interested to note that Mikael, Carlotta and Ysolda now all seem to be firm friends. When they saw me Mikael moved over to my side and admitted the girls had caught him watching, and were so turned on by it, they now let him watch, as being watched aroused them all the more, and they want me to know I’m welcome to join them any time I wish. Nazeem made some comment about me being a low class slut, so I punched him in the face, everyone nearby stopped to laugh; I guess it’s true that nobody likes Nazeem. Maybe I should have split my journal up into chapters like my predecessors, but it’s a little late now, so I’m afraid you will have to make do with what you get.…

    Lloyd never realized how minimalistic the four of them had until he started packing, each of them only had three outfits, they had no true running water with all the water in the house being supplied by water crystals, by extension, that also meant that they didn’t have hot water in the house, only the two fireplaces and wood burning stove could be used to heat their cadin, their beds were made of straw, pillows of feathers, tools of wood, shoes of braided grass, they eat the food that they grew themselves. Lloyd guesses that it was the fact that they started with nothing and any improvements were hard won, greatly appreciated, and never taken for granted. Definitely not an easy life, but it a fulfilling one. Yet, Lloyd was leaving this bountiful,…

    Zai's cheerful good-humour and repartee had Kyle grinning like an idiot all the way back to the highway, and beyond. It was a treat to see her emerging from her shell and becoming a woman, proud of her femininity and attractiveness again. At least that's how Kyle perceived it; that he was seeing a different side to Azairah D'Amici, and possibly one that had been displayed to very few others. That her charm, wit and sensuality contrasted against the murder she'd so viciously perpetrated in the forest, evidenced by the blood-smeared features and crimson stained dress, was not contemplated by Kyle as it may have been by others. You could be a cold-blooded, brutal killer, and simultaneously be a desirable woman.…

    Initially, she would cross her hands (right hand on the left hand), facing her palms towards the floor and would touch the floor with her palms. Then she would cross her hands again (left hand on the right hand), facing her palms downwards and would touch the floor with her palms. Then she would bring her hands to touch the middle of her chest from her fingertips. Then she would take her hands over her head, making two semi-circles from both sides and would touch each of her palms in front of her forehead. With that, a one cycle of the Namaskaraya would be completed.…
