Brooke realized that Ajax was not behind her and touched Feas neck....he slowed down and eventually stopped. She looked around for a moment then sent a mind message to Fea....'can we turn around....I want to find Ajax.....' to her surprise, Fea turned around and took off at a trot.

Ajax decided to dismount Ashquar and just tell Aiya and Ashquar to meet him back at the barn. They were reliable, and they didn't mind the tack so much since he'd bought it for comfort. As he jumped off he switched to an eagle, wanting to find out where Fea and Brooke were. He cried out with joy for the freedom of flight, the haunting note lingering on the breeze as he glided over the forest. He kept a corner of his mind squared off for human reason but mostly slipped into an eagle's psyche.

Brooke looked up and noticed an eagle looking at her. Fea abruptly turned around and started heading towards the stables again. Brooke gasped, startled. "what are you doing?" she asked him. He whinnied in response and kept walking. Brooke looked up again and noticed the eagle still staring at her. Its eyes looked very familiar......she had seen them before. She felt like she knew it, yet she knew that wasnt probable.

Ajax took off of the branch he had been perched on looking at Brooke and headed towards the stables. She didn't know he could do this yet. He would try to keep it a secret.

Brooke watched the eagle. 'could it be.....' she thought. 'is that ajax? those are his eyes.....for sure....' Brooke stared at the eagle for another 5 minutes or so, suspicious. 'ill ask him later....' she finally decided. She rode into the stables at the same time that Aiya and Ashquar rode into the pasture. Ajax wasnt with them....Brooke looked around worriedly.

... But his clothes were. Ajax landed in the barn, ruffling his feathers and mentally sighing. He had to change back... Oh no!!!!! Brooke beat him! He started to panick. She was already looking at the horses... he couldn't go get his clothes. And his cabin was in her direction. He didn't want her to worry-- but he couldn't change back. She would notice if he wore different clothes. And she'd get suspicious if he flew by her again. He retreated into a stall and changed into a squirrel. Quickly he darted towards the cabin, trying to think of another way. This was unreversable... he would just have to dodge any questioning.

Brooke watched as a squirrel darted past her. She laughed...this squirrel had the same eyes as the eagle....and the same eyes as Ajax. 'Definitely him.' she thought. 'So why doesnt he just change back.....' she wondered. Then she noticed the clothes on the horses. She started to giggle. 'Oh I see.' she sent to the squirrel. It froze in its tracks. 'I know its you....so you cant change back because you wouldnt have any clothes on....I can turn if you want me to...you could have just said something to me.' she giggled again involitarily.

Ajax had to think fast. This had always been his secret, and he didn't want to share it with anyone so fast. Deciding to play dumb and try to prolong this, he scampered on, concentrating on squirrel eyes. He'd never been good at changing his eyes. Darn. There's no use... he turned around and jumped up on the horse with the clothes, calming Ashquar with his mind so he wouldn't spook. He squirrel-smiled at Brooke, sent 'Ask in a couple weeks' to her and dragged the considerable load to his cabin, squirrel-muscles straining.

Brooke recived his message and decided not to press it for once in her life. She didnt want to screw up with Ajax. He seemed genuinely interested in her and was really nice...even sweet. 'Ill be out here, im letting Fea out in the pasture though....hes hungry.' she mind sent him...he was now back in human form. 'Probably getting dressed...I wonder what he......NO STOP IT!!!!! DO NOT THINK THOUGHTS LIKE THAT!' she thought to herself.

Ajax smiled since Brooke had forgotten to shut off the weak mind-link and sent him the thought about him putting his clothes on. He was finished dressing but was looking around for some horse treats he'd bought recently. Occasionally he splurged and got a five pound bag of treats, but usually the horses were satisfied with carrots and apples. He walked out with the bag and smiled at Brooke before walking to the tack room to drop off the bag. He grabbed a couple and went back, giving some treats to every horse in the barn and taking a while since he talked to each one as well.

Brooke smiled back and followed him through the door. "So.....you can....change." she said, trying to figure out how to word his power.
