Friends in camp (ft. My OCs)

Characters are:

Blake (that dark lil creature/the shadow sprite)

Rayqua (the mimikyu shiny Rayquaza)

Skitten (that psycho Skitten)

Alina (that light creature/the Light sprite)

Atlas (the orange, blonde & brown novabeast with green mane & collar)

Dragalge (that brown kelp-dragon pokemon that cooks a cake)

Kieran (as a dark violet wolf, again, he isn’t mine but i pushed him & other fandoms characters into the lore)

Silversteam (that grey bird)

Squeaky-baby (that red-ish “toy” mouse creature/wind-up pocketmouse)

Rat (the blue mouse/the satin pocketmouse)

Vakuum (as a novabeast, its that entity with the adorable stare at the end, also not mine)

Explain time:

Yes, Vakuum is now part of the crew as well! (Yes, i love Vakuum, he’s amazing), i tried to feature as many new characters as possible, and so i did, the animation is basically about Blake taking the chosens crew to camping, Alina is suspicious of Blake’s intentions so she tags along & the camping goes *INSANE* (cuz they all psychos), also, yeah, Dragalge cooks cakes on campfires, the cake is already complete, he just burns them like marshmallow, he loves cakes, also, don’t tell me Vakuum doesn’t look cute the way i drew him

Blood Brothers.(part 17)

(Moondrop gets the spell book that was given to him by his dad, he skims to the disguise spell).

Moondrop: Okay, here we go...

(Moondrop recite the spell a is transformed into a harlequin wolf with white fur on the right fur half and black fur on his left half, he now wears a dark blue hoodie with a present moon on it, a plain light blue t-shirt underneath, and deep blue pants).

Moondrop:(confident) I still got it.

Sundrop: I have two questions.

Moondrop: Ask away.

Sundrop: One: How are you gonna find her and two: How are you gonna keep yourself from burning in the sun?

Moondrop: A: I found a card she dropped last night that had the address to her bakery on it and B: I bought some super strong sunblock made specifically for vampires, so I won't burn in the sun as long as I have it on my skin.

Sundrop: Can I have the spell book and some of that sun block please?

Moondrop: Sure, why?

Sundrop: I just want to be there to make sure something like last night's incident doesn't happen again.

Moondrop: That's understandable.

(Sundrop recites the disguise spell and transforms into a lion with yellow fur and an orange mane, he now wears a red t-shirt with a sun on it and matching red pants).

Sundrop: So what exactly is the plan?

Moondrop: We're gonna go to Blossom's bakery, give her the card back and then I'll apologize and drop the form, and then we'll go back to the village and go on pretending this whole thing never happened.

Sundrop: Okay, brother.

(The two head out to a bakery called Sugar Lane at noon, that enter the building and see Blossom at behind the counter).

Blossom: Welcome to Sugar Lane, How may I help you today?

Moondrop: Well....

(Moondrop puts his hood over his head to hide his blushing).

Moondrop: We found this card by our old apartment this morning and it said Sugar Lane, so we decided to return it to you.

Blossom: Really?

Moondrop: Yeah, (hands the card to Blossom) here you go.

Blossom: Thank you for returning my card.

Moondrop: You're welcome, I guess me and my brother will be leaving.

(Moondrop tries to leave the bakery).

Sundrop in thought: (I thought you came here to apologize for nearly drinking all of her blood!)

(Sundrop gets an idea to ask Blossom about how the card was lost).

Sundrop: By the way, how did you loose your card?

Moondrop: Brother!

Blossom: Oh, I must've dropped it when I got attacked by a vampire.

(Moondrop pretend to be shocke to hear this).

Moondrop: You were attacked by a vampire!?

Blossom: I was, and that vampire would've drank me to death if Mango did shout my name and gave me a chance to escape.

Moondrop: That's terrible!

Sundrop: (directed at Moondrop) It sure is!

Blossom: Yeah, so I'll have to be extra careful when I walk home at night from now on.

Sundrop: Brother, would you like to tell Blossom about that night.

Moondrop:(nervous) N-n-no!!!

Blossom: What do you mean by that?

Sundrop: Well you see, my brother was the-

Moondrop: Person who saw the whole thing go down!

Blossom: What?

Moondrop: Yeah, I saw the vampire attack from a far, I wanted to help you, but I was too scared to get bit, I'm sorry...

Sundrop in thought: (Really, brother?)

Blossom: It's okay, I would probably do the same if our positions were reversed.

Moondrop: Blossom?

Blossom: Yes?

Moondrop: I want to make up for it by walking you home at night.

Sundrop: Brother, you hardly know her!

Moondrop: I know, but I feel bad for what happened that night.

Blossom: Not to mention that it might take an awful lot of your time if your house comes before mine.

Moondrop: Oh no, we live outside of the city, so your house is on the way to our's regardless.

Blossom: Okay, them I guess you can walk me home at night.

Moondrop: Really?

Blossom: Really.

Moondrop: Okay.

Blossom: By the way, what your names?

Moondrop: My name is Atlas and my brother's name is Cyrus.

Sundrop in thought: (Of course you'd lie about our names, too).

Blossom: Well, Atlas and Cyrus, I hope to see you two again, especially you, Atlas.

Moondrop: Okay, see you tonight.

Blossom: Yeah, see you tonight.

(Sundrop and Moondrop leave the bakery, it cuts to them back at the village when the disguise spell wears off).

Sundrop: Why did you lie to her?

Moondrop: I just didn't want her to hate me...

Sundrop: Then why do you want to walk with her at night, you don't have to do that.

Moondrop: (defensive) I already said that I wanna make up for what happened last night.

Sundrop: This won't end well and you know it.

Moondrop: (defensive) How would you know!?

Sundrop: Because I know how easily you loose control of your bloodlust!

Moondrop: I'll make sure I consume some red juice before I get hungry!

Sundrop: It's not just when your hungry, it's also when you get mad, smell blood, or even randomly in your sleep!

Moondrop: Wait, I loose control when I sleep.

Sundrop: Yes, I've woken up to you taking about consuming blood and biting into your pillow in your sleep a few times, but what I'm saying is that this is a terrible idea because your basically a ticking time bomb!

Moondrop: I can control myself, and I'm gonna proove it!

Sundrop: Go ahead, but if you end up killing her because of your bloodlust, don't say I didn't warn you!

Moondrop: Fine!

Sundrop: Fine!

Marceline: Hate to interrupt you're arguing, but I finished your cape, Sundrop.

Sundrop: Thank you.

(Sundrop puts his new cape).

Marceline: You're welcome.

This is the final member of Beastfang (yippee, FIMALY!!!!11!) – Dawnbreak. She, being the youngest out of the bunch, is usually treated as the team mascot, being there to cheer on them, and relieve their stress. Since she is a werewolf, her animalistic behaviour show up often – not only during social interactions (aka by sniffing and barking at strangers) but also during fights, by ripping the potential prey to shreds with no hesitation nor mercy. To be kept on her good side, other must find sources of entertainment for her, even if it means getting tired up.

Dawn likes to play with Atlas the most, since he never yells at her for going to hard, but she still respects the leader the most (afterall, Lin was the one who let her join, and saved Dawn from growing up all alone).

The creature behind her is Dawn’s true wolf form, which was based on the red maned wolf, rather than the european wolf, and I drew the bones on her with no reference whatsoever (that’s why they are not anatomically accurate at all xd)

[lookitsgrim]

Willow: wolves (red wolves in particular) but she does find herself drawn to crocodiles

JJ: goats. it’s always been goats (his favs are alpine goats and mountain goats)

Fern: deer but rabbits come at a very close second

Atlas: bears (fav bear is a polar bear)

Chase: dogs and cows, dogs only slightly over the latter (his favourite breed is a kooikerhondje)

Mason: wolves but in the lone wolf kind of way because he’s a dick and doesn’t understand the concept of packs for some reason (he’s fucking stupid. just kidding he’s actually not but i hate him so i get to say he is ❤️)

Mimi: fossas but also bats because they remind her of Steph

Steph: do moths count?? if not then literally any type of bird or bat

Oswald: hares

Orion: chickens (plymouth rock if we’re getting specific)

Charlie: maned wolves and coyotes

Tabitha: tie between snow leopards, caracals, and servals

what's your oc's favorite animal?

********************************************************************************

I dig my heels into the horse’s sides, urging him to gallop at break neck speed. I keep Enzo close to my chest and he holds onto the reins too as he shouts ‘We’re free!’

We’re not free. Far from it. But I can’t bear to tell my son that. This is the most hope he has felt ever since we were taken and I’ll be damned if I take it away from him.

We need to get back to the capital. Kayden, if he is alive, will be searching for us. I keep thinking that if I manage to get my son home, we can wait there for his father and all will be alright again. We’ll be safe.

Except I have no idea where we are. We are riding fast down a dusty road, surrounded by mountains. The vibrant heart of the city is nowhere near this place.

I look around at the mountains and the road ahead. Kayden has instilled in me the need to be aware of all surroundings. Logically, houses are placed near rivers because the water is a source. All I need to find is a river and a house, perhaps the owners could help us or even just tell us where we are.

I have to keep a level head for this. My son and unborn child are counting on me.

************************************************************************************

Kayden woke to the sound of whimpering. Frowning, he sat up on the tree branch slowly and looked around himself.

Percival was whimpering.

'Percival?’ Kayden asked. 'What’s wrong?’

Percival pointed down to the ground. In the dawn light, Kayden squinted to see.

A wolf was lying on the ground below their trees, waiting.

'Perfect,’ Kayden groaned.

'Really? That’s all you have to say?’ Percival hissed.

'Relax..’ Frisk yawned, waking up to join in the conversation. 'It’s only a wolf.’

Percival’s eyes bulged. 'Only a… oh god, please tell me we have a plan?’

Kayden and Frisk exchanged knowing looks.

'We kill it,’ Kayden said bluntly. 'It’s not going to let us live, not with the way it’s lying in wait. These woods are limited in prey for the wolves-’

'I can’t believe you willingly entered this place with that knowledge!’ Percival cried.

'I entered these woods because I need to save my family!’ Kayden shot back. 'Now, relax and shut up. I’ll deal with it.’

Carefully, he began to climb down from the tree. 'Frisk, look for a quick exit,’ he instructed as he climbed down the trunk.

'On it, Captain,’ Frisk replied, his eyes scanning the wooded area.

Kayden kept his eyes on the wolf. Brown eyes fixed on yellow eyes.

He didn’t particularly want to kill this animal. He thought wolves were noble creatures but judging from this wolf’s stance, clearly it saw Kayden and his companions as its next meal.

Kayden always said, before meeting Athenais, that he would die protecting his country. An honourable death, a noble death.

But after he married his wife, he made a promise to her that he would die an old man in his bed, warm and safe beside her.

He wasn’t going to let an animal take that away from him.

*************************************************************************************

The moonlight filtered through the window of Kayden and Athenais’ bedroom. Athenais was giggling as she watched her husband gently kiss her little baby bump, challenging himself to make it up to 500 kisses. He was currently on 100.

The silver light of the moon shone down on them, casting Athenais’ olive skin with an ethereal glow. Kayden looked up to give her a soft smile.

'You are beautiful,’ he whispered. His hands ran along her hips, holding her close. 'How did I get so lucky? What did I do in a past life?’

Athenais blushed. 'I can say the same to you, my love.’

Kayden grinned. Athenais felt her body turn warm with happiness - she loved seeing him like this. With her, alone in their bedroom, Kayden was open. He was gentle and caring, a far cry from his reputation as the Crown Shield.

'I’m so excited to meet our baby,’ Kayden murmured, looking back down at her stomach.

'Do you think it’ll be a boy like the Oracle predicted?’ Athenais asked eagerly.

Kayden rolled his eyes. 'You know I don’t believe in any of that.. But if it is a boy, then I just hope he is happy and healthy.’

Athenais smiled and gently ran her fingers along his arm, bringing him out in goosebumps. 'We will shower him with love,’ she said. 'Our little boy.’

Kayden smiled but a haunted expression passed over his face, alarming his wife.

'What’s wrong?’ she asked.

Kayden bit his lip. 'I.. I just hope I will be around to see him grow into a man,’ he told her quietly. 'With my job.. There’s always the possibility I will die protecting the crown.’

Athenais sat up instantly. 'No, Kayden,’ she said fiercely. She reached out to grab both his hands and stared at him, straight in the eyes. 'Promise me you will die an old man, warm and safe in your bed.’

'Athenais I can’t -’

'Promise me,’ she interrupted, her voice becoming more urgent. 'Please.’

This was yet another moment when Kayden considered quitting his job. Give it up so he could live a peaceful life and be with his family. It was a constant tug of war within his heart.

But she was looking at him with those beautiful brown eyes and she was carrying his child. She was the love of his life.

'I promise,’ he whispered, squeezing her hand. 'I promise, Athenais.’

******************************************************************************************

The wolf lay dead at Kayden’s feet. Kayden’s arms were shredded with cuts and blood dripped down his skin. Kayden barely noticed the damage. Blood was part of the job. In his hand was his bloody sword.

Percival was white as a sheet, clutching the tree branch he was still sitting on. He was breathing rapidly.

'Inhale and exhale, Percival,’ Kayden said, his voice far away. His eyes remained fixed on the body of the wolf.

'Captain, you should tend to your wounds,’ Frisk told him. 'They’ll get infected.’

Kayden tore off a section of his shirt and wrapped it around his arm, tying it tightly. He did this without comment or emotion.

To the others, Kayden appeared calm and cut off from the brutal task he had just committed. Frisk was used to it - Kayden was always business as usual. Percival noted with horror that Kayden didn’t appear to care.

But in his mind, Kayden could only think that he was a monster. He had spilled the blood of an innocent animal, an animal that was doing all it needed to survive - much like Kayden was doing.

Who was he to kill the animal when he understood exactly how it felt?

His job forced Kayden to view everything he did with a detached feeling. Don’t be emotional, don’t doubt yourself, just get on with the task at hand.

But his job had also made him public enemy No 1 to assassins and rebels. If he died in service, it meant the crown was open for destruction. Yet by protecting the kingdom, Kayden had set a target on his family’s backs. Cut off from Athenais and Enzo, Kayden couldn’t help but wish that none of this had happened.

He wished he wasn’t the Captain of the Royal Guard.

He wished he had a normal job under the radar.

He wished he could guarantee that he would come home safe after a day of protecting the King.

He wished his family would always be safe and happy.

Kayden was pushing down the emotions that were swirling in his stomach now. He had to. He couldn’t show Frisk and Percival that he was doubting himself.

But as he looked down at the wolf with an air of indifference, he could only see himself reflected in the wolf’s unblinking eyes.

*******************************************

Enzo is trying to think of a name for our newly acquired horse.

'Hmmm… Zeus!’ he cries. He bites his lip. 'No, he’s not a Zeus…’

We are sat down by the side of the road, giving the horse time to rest. We have been galloping for the past two hours with no stop. I have been that determined to try and find some civilisation.

So far, nothing.

Enzo stands up to walk in a circle, studying the black horse who is chewing some grass.

'Hmmm.. Archimedes?’ he suggests. 'No.. Ooh, I know! Algernon! We can call him Algie for short!’

I smile, grateful that Enzo always manages to pull me from inside my head. 'That’s a good name,’ I say. 'Very intelligent.’

Enzo grins. 'Of course, he’s not as good as Atlas!’

The horse stops chewing the grass to fix Enzo with an unamused expression. Enzo giggles and reaches out to stroke its mane. The horse wickers softly.

'Definitely an Algernon,’ Enzo decides, his voice serious. 'You’re going to help us get back home, aren’t you boy?’

Enzo loves animals. He is the most gentle child, so kind and caring.

'Right, let’s go,’ I say, standing up. 'Do you want to hold Algernon’s reins while we ride?’

Enzo nods eagerly and clambers onto the horse’s back. He waits patiently as I slowly climb on behind him, careful for my baby bump.

'Is Aria kicking yet?’ Enzo asks hopefully.

I smile. 'Not yet,’ I tell him. 'She’s not big enough. But as soon as she does, you’ll be the first to know.’

We don’t mention his father. Kayden should be the first person to feel his unborn child kicking but Kayden is not here.

I swallow, willing myself to keep strong. Enzo takes the reins and I pull him against me, wrapping my arms around him so he is stable on the animal’s back.

We begin to ride again.

**************************************************************************

Enzo sees the house before I do. 'Look, a house! The chimney’s on! People are there!’ he squeals.

Encouraged, I kick my heels into Algernon’s sides and he canters quickly down the road towards the little stone house with thatch roof. We stop and Enzo jumps down eagerly.

He turns to hold out his hand so I can get down too. I don’t need his help but I appreciate the sentiment - I just hope Enzo doesn’t have to keep looking after me as time goes on. That’s my job to do that and Kayden’s.

I take his hand and knock on the front door. We wait for what feels like an eternity until it opens to reveal a young woman.

'Yes?’ she asks.

'Hello, sorry to trouble you,’ I say. 'I was hoping you could help us? We’re far from home and would like a place to rest for the night? Or if you can’t, perhaps even just tell us where we are?’

The woman looks at me warily before she looks down at Enzo, who is smiling up at her, with vibrant hope in his eyes. Her expression softens.

'Come in,’ she says, beckoning us to follow her inside.

It’s a small house. Dark. But there is a fire roaring and I see a little girl around Enzo’s age playing with her dog on the floor.

Enzo is over to her in an instant, crouching down to stroke the dog, asking her what it’s name is.

The woman gestures for me to sit down. 'What’s your name?’ she asks me. Enzo looks up to listen - I can tell he is thinking the same as I am.

Don’t trust anybody.

'Maria,’ I answer. 'My son is Luca.’

Enzo doesn’t blink at the change of his name. Kayden has taught him well.

The woman smiles. 'I’m Charlotte. My daughter is called Sarah.’

Sarah smiles softly and Enzo shoots her a happy grin.

'My husband is at work right now,’ Charlotte tells me. 'He’ll be happy to provide shelter for you.’

'Where are we?’ I ask her.

'Just outside of Valtoria,’ she replies. 'Not far from the capital.’

Hope bursts in my heart. I know I shouldn’t hope, I should be logical and not be ruled by my heart, but we are so close to home. Only twenty miles by horse. So close.

'I appreciate you helping us,’ I say. 'I promise we will leave first thing. I just want somewhere for my son to rest his head.’

Charlotte smiles. 'I understand completely.’

**********************************************

Kayden, Frisk and Percival continued to ride through the woods. The sun was filtering through the tree branches now, melting the snow covered ground. There were no more tracks, as Kayden expected.

He just had to remember the route out of the woods. They journeyed for another hour or so until the woods exit reared up. 

‘Oh thank god!’ Percival cried. ‘Freedom!’

‘Do you not trust us to look after you, Percy?’ Frisk teased.

‘My name is Percival,’ Percival replied haughtily. ‘Not Percy.’

‘Of course, Percy.’

‘Percival!’

‘Percy.’

And so they rode on, Frisk annoying Percival as Kayden listened in amusement. The conversation soon turned to women, a common topic on the road.

'I have a girl back home..’ Frisk piped up, his voice wistful. 'Well, she’s not exactly mine… She has a husband.. But she’s the love of my life!’

Kayden chuckled, appreciating Frisk’s idea to keep the mood light.

'I’m sure she’ll leave her husband for you, Frisk,’ Kayden said.

'That’s what I’m hoping!’ Frisk replied cheerfully.

Percival shook his head. 'Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman! It should be respected!’

'Ahh, yes,’ Frisk said, giving Percival a wink. 'But what’s the fun in that?’

‘Marriage is about commitment,’ Percival replied grandly. ‘I would hate for my wife to cheat on me.’

Frisk frowned. ‘Cheat? Who said anything about cheating?’

‘But you said-’

‘She doesn’t even know my name!’ Frisk sighed dramatically. ‘I live in hope..’

‘How is she the love of your life then?’ Percivial asked, confused. 

‘Because she just is,’ Frisk said simply. ‘I know it.’

Kayden smiled. Frisk was always finding ‘the love of his life.’ Next week, it would be someone else. 

‘I fell in love as soon as I laid eyes on her!’ Frisk continued. ‘It was like time stood still.. Just us in the moment, eyes locked.. Until she turned away to eat an olive, but still!’

As Percival and Frisk continued their animated conversation, Kayden’s mind wandered as it always did to thoughts of Athenais. He could remember the moment when he first saw her. 

It had been at the masquerade ball. Kayden wore a mask shaped like a half moon. He hadn’t wanted to attend but he had to keep an eye on Hunter somehow.. And then he saw her. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. 

Athenais wore a gold dress. Her hair was pinned up with loose curled tendrils framing her cheekbones and a gold necklace was wrapped around her throat. She glowed. Kayden had stopped in his tracks and couldn’t keep his eyes off her. 

He had to have her name. He had to know who she was. 

They had danced together and for five minutes, Kayden forgot his responsibility to the king and his duty for that night; for this moment, he was a normal man, seeing love and happiness for the first time.

Now, nine years later, they were married with a son and another child on the way. 

Kayden swallowed hard. Keep pushing it down, keep focused, stop getting distracted. Think of finding your wife and son. Don’t lose track of what you’re doing -

‘Captain!’

Kayden turned to see Frisk halting his horse. Frisk jumped down and crouched to the ground, his fingers running over the earth. He picked up something shiny. 

‘Look!’

Kayden took the shiny object. His breath caught. 

‘It’s my son’s,’ he whispered. ‘Enzo’s ring.’

‘We must be close!’ Percival said, his eyes wide. 

Kayden’s fist closed around his son’s ring. Carefully, he placed it in his pocket that held Athenais’ necklace, close to his heart.

************************************************************************************

Enzo and I sleep in a makeshift bed in the storeroom, his little body wrapped around mine. He refuses to sleep in Sarah’s bedroom with her; he wants to be near me and he won’t let  me out of his sight. We are bone tired from the escape and journey we have just had; as soon as our heads are down, we fall into a deep sleep, grateful to close our eyes. 

I still keep Enzo’s dagger under the pillow; I have Kayden’s voice in my head at all times. Don’t trust anyone. Be prepared for anything.

We wake to the sound of knocking on the front door. I hold Enzo tightly, like a lioness ready to protect her cub. Enzo’s eyes dart open and we listen to Charlotte pad through from her bedroom to the front door. 

It’s a male voice. My heart leaps, thinking it could be Kayden, but then I realise I’m being stupid and of course, it’s not my husband. Things don’t work that way.

‘Apologies for waking you so early, but I just wanted to ask if you have seen a woman and her son around these parts?’

I’m on my feet in an instant. Enzo follows, quickly sliding on his boots. 

‘No..’ Charlotte lies. ‘I have not.’

‘Really? Because we saw a familiar horse round at the back of your horse… looks like it belonged to my colleague..’ 

‘All horses look the same,’ Charlotte says casually. ‘I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.’

‘True, but I recognise this horse. Can I come in?’

I grab Enzo’s dagger and shove it into my pocket. ‘Quickly,’ I whisper, taking Enzo by the hand. Urgently, we rush to the door that leads outside. 

‘Where’s the key?!’ Enzo hisses. ‘Mama, where’s the key?’

I run my hands through my hair, trying to think. Be calm, be calm.  

‘Please, miss, let me in,’ the man says. 

‘You’re not invited,’ she replies bluntly. 

I hear footsteps. Gripping the dagger, I quickly whip around to come face to face with the little girl, Sarah. Her eyes are darting from me to Enzo, trying to understand. She looks back towards the hallway where her mother is engaging in an argument with the visitor. 

‘Sarah, do you have a key for us to get out?’ I whisper. ‘Please.’

She looks at me with huge eyes. 

‘Please,’ Enzo joins in. ‘You have to help us.’

Her eyes flick to a little cabinet in the corner, well hidden in the shadows. ‘We keep the key in there,’ she whispers. 

Enzo rushes to the cabinet and opens its doors; inside, there is an assortment of keys, all different sizes and shapes, all for doors that we don’t know. 

‘Which one is it?’ Enzo hisses. ‘For this door!’

Sarah joins him to locate the right key while I stand at the door, keeping my eyes fixed on the hallway. If the man gets into the house, I will be ready. I will protect my son with his dagger. Together, Enzo and Sarah’s fingers pick at each key and quickly insert them into the locked door.  It’s agonising.

‘Miss, if you don’t let me in, I will have to arrest you,’ the man says. ‘I am here for the Crown Shield.’

Enzo drops the key in his hand, shocked at hearing his father’s moniker. The sound is shrill against the stone floor, making my heart drop. 

‘Is someone else awake?’ the man asks, clearly having heard the key fall to the floor. ‘Someone who might be more willing to let me inside?  Sounds like it.’

‘I’m the only one awake,’ Charlotte says quickly.

‘I am here for the Crown Shield, let me inside.’

His tone is more clipped now. Impatient.

I know he is lying. Whoever this man is, he is lying to Charlotte. Nobody would be here on behalf of my husband; Kayden would be at the door himself. 

This man knows who I am, who my husband is, and he wants me in his keeping. I don’t know why. All I know is that he can’t be trusted.

Sarah picks up the key and slots it into the lock; it turns and clicks. 

She opens the door carefully before stepping back. Enzo gives her a quick hug and darts outside, waiting for me to follow. I take Sarah’s hand, whisper ‘thank you,’ and run outside with my son’s hand in mine. We run towards Algernon and I hoist Enzo up onto his back, before clambering on behind him. 

I kick his sides sharply, needing to get us away. Algernon bursts into action, galloping away from the house and the family who kept us safe. 

If I worry about Charlotte and Sarah, it’s only for a moment. I have other things to think about now; for one thing, we are twenty miles away from the city. We can make it. 

‘Mama!’ Enzo shouts, pulling at Algernon’s reins. ‘Mama, stop!’

In the distance, I see a masked man on a horse waiting for us. At first, I think it’s Kayden. It must be; perhaps I was wrong and the man at the house was here on behalf of my husband. Maybe he was going to take us outside and surprise us with the sight of him. The man sits tall on his black horse, regal, powerful. Just like my husband. 

But as my vision adjusts, I see it is not my husband.  I was wrong to hope.  Clearly, the man at the house had a companion, this one who lies in wait in case we made a run for it. They have thought this out.

‘Enzo,’ I whisper. ‘Hold on tight, alright?’

Enzo grips onto the reins. With all the strength I can muster, I grab Algernon’s reins and haul him back, so he wheels around. 

‘Onward!’ I shout, my heels slamming against his sides hard. We ride in the opposite direction from the man and the house.  The man gallops behind us, not close, but not far either. Tears fill my eyes as I realise that yet again, we are racing for our lives from men in cloaks and masks. It is like a masquerade, except there is no romance or chivalry behind it. 

Just darkness, danger and the possibility of death.

Return of the Tickle Wolf

A/N: I notice most animals pick up certain parts of words rather than truly knowing a word. Like if I call Ellie, both her and Gremmy look up because of the "E" in the pronunciation. For those of you who don't have pets or your animals don't do this, that's why Kosmo picks up on "ick" in the word "tickle".

__

Adam blinked a few times as he looked at the source to the blinding light that had just enclosed his room only moments ago. Rubbing his working eye he looked back to where he thought he'd saw something, only to see nothing. He shook his head figuring it was from the lack of true light and fresh air causing him mind to malfunction slightly.

That was until he felt a puff of air on his arm. He jumped slightly before looking to the right of his hospital bed. Big puppy eyes we're looking up at him as the large wolf he'd met earlier bowed so that his head was on the mattress. "Geez, you scared me," he sighed with a soft chuckle. Still slightly weary of his grandson (mainly for what Coran said about being taken to another reality), he wanted to take all precautions.

But Kosmo ignored the sniff as he knew who Adam was and muzzled into the warm food giving mechanism. His tail wagged happily as the professor picked up on the lovins giving. "Aw, your so soft," the human cooed. Eyes widened as he reached the mane. "And so fluffy!"

It was a rare moment where the boring, serious, down to earth Adam left to let the slightly childish one out. But who could blame him? This wolf was so sweet, soft, fluffy, and cuddly! Something he was finding out now as Kosmo climbed on his bed, awkwardly curling up for snuggles.

The knew weight made the frame of the bed creek but it was metal, real metal. It should be okay. The only other pain like sound was from Adam as the big boy laid on him. His wounds were mostly healed but still sore. But the pain slowly morphed into a more saddle burning like sensation as the babe settled down and curled into him.

The healed hand went back to work as fingers parted through the long, thick fur. "So, where's your daddy and grand parents, huh?" Yellow eyes peered up at him as if to say "Don't care, keep petting". But in reality Keith was busy with Shiro and a soilder that would be joining them on the Atlas.

They were checking our the ship, Keith still trying to coax his brother to bring Adam along. As for Krolia and Kolivan.... he had no clue. But Kosmo wanted to see this new person more! He'd slept with him a few times already. Granted his daddy pushed the empty bed not far from Adam's next to Adam's so that they could all fit.

But it was still sleeping with him just.... pinning Keith against the man. But the chin scratches Kosmo was receiving made him think he should have sprawled out on them. "Such a good boy," the professor cooed as he really dove into the world of chin scratching.

It had been a while since he'd pet an animal. While Shiro was in space their cat had passed. She was a senior cat they adopted so the Adam understood but.... it still hurt. Her name was Abby, he had her ashes and a clay mold of her paw print back in his room. Shiro was crushed to hear about it, Adam could tell he was still upset even a week later.

He couldn't talk as he balled his eyes out for over a month, even now the thought of her made him cry. Which could be why a soft tongue was licking his face. "Sorry boy, just my mind went somewhere." He continued to pet the kissing wolf, until the kissing turned to sniffing. Something smelt.... different?

The cool, wet nose moved to the side somewhat, sniffing the unharmed ear. Eyes widened once more as a scarred hand slapped over Adam's mouth. "K-Kosmo," he whispered slightly as he moved the alendage away from soft lips.

His grandson ignored him as he continued to sniff, unaware of what the other was feeling. "Hehehy! That tickles!" The healed hand tried to gently move the babes head, only to gain his attention. Laughter, smile, squinting eyes, ick? He had heard the sound before. Last time he heard ick he got his daddy to be happy! Oh, maybe he could make his grandpa happy too?!

He gave Adam a kiss before s offing around his ear again, warning muffled laughs and a head shake. Pulling his hand back again, Adam laid back more. "K-Kosmo plehhease! Thahat really tickles!" His ears were one of his worst spots if not the worst. He continued to giggle and gently push at the head as sniffs continued.

Starting to sniff behind the ear, whiskers began to dance about. Arms wrapped around the babe as the professor shrieked and let his head fall back, adorable face following. Kosmo strained and squirmed with big eyes to get back to what he was doing.

"Oh crhahap! Kosmo, nhahaho, bahahaby, stop," the grandfather pleaded as the anticipation set in. Well that and it was so funny and cute so see the excited wolf try to tickle him again. He didn't believe when Keith said he'd been attacked by this little (big) tickle monster, but now he knew what he meant.

"Raow! Rrmmmrow!" The hell kind of noises was that? Adam looked over to see the babe pouring and flailing his legs about. He was having fun! He was having a tantrum and the other's eye watered from the cuteness as he giggled himself. "Your so cute," he cooed. Being pulled into a hug and receiving kisses the baby's tantrum was passified.... for now.

He let out a whine of teenagerness before falling limo into the other's arms. If he had to take the loving, he would. "Kosmo, there you are!" The two looked over to see Keith in the door way. The wolf snuffed at him before curling back into Adam, faking a grudge from lack of attention given for the day.

Unfortunately, his tail wag clearly gave away his excitement to see his daddy. Adam chuckled as he pulled his legs up more.... or as much as he could. It didn't hurt or tickle but his feet were getting whipped by the massive limb. "Well, at least he was keeping you company." That voice. Adam's smile dropped as his eyes narrowed.

"Surprised you came back here." Keith sighed before elbowing his brother. Everything was just happy! The older rolled his eyes before sitting at the foot of the bed, back facing Adam. "Well I still love you. Just because we had another fight doesn't mean anything." But he had the spiteful tone that most men got when they fought, that most humans got actually.

Keith felt tears coming up as he crossed his arm and walked over. "Come on Kosmo, they need to talk." But Kosmo wasn't budging. He melmed at his daddy before wagging his tail again, whipping both Adam and Shiro. The cute charm was lost as the only thing the professor could focus on was the anger in his heart that had resurfaced from another fight.

"You won't face me though," he stated softly. "So either I was granted, or your upset. But I'm guessing your upset that I was granted permission to go." Keith kissed his boy's head before leaving. He didn't want to hear this. Kosmo however, didn't seem to care in the least. He snuggled into Adam more, receiving pets for it.

"I'm.... just scared about loosing you again. Space is a fucking nightmare Adam, I don't.... a lot has happened. I don't want you to get kidnapped, to face the same fears of death even within the main ship. You nearly died once already, I lost you twice now." There was a silence as Shiro let his hands catch his face.

Kosmo nosed at Adam for a reaction, but the man didn't budge. Shiro had told him of the horrors in space their first night together, as had Keith. He knew the danger, the horror, but this was his family. Shiro yelled as a toe started to poke at him. "No shit, dumbass! So what's let you take Keith back up there and risk never seeing you two again?! If we're dying, we're dying as a family!" There was a soft whimper that had both their attention. "Not you sweetie, your okay, " the man quickly soothed as he pulled Kosmo closer to hug him. "Your daddy's okay, sshhhh, shhhh." He bit his lip as to not laugh from the nose nuzzling into his neck.

Shiro had turned to face Adam, surprised by the unprofessional way of speaking. But seeing him crumble at the touch of Kosmo was rather calming. Looking over, he smirked. "Khahaosmo," the damn burst. "Baby, come on. Yhahaour ticklingg mehhee." A sudden yell escaped the male's mouth as fingers brushed up his soles. That bastard wasn't.

Oh but a smirk looking back at him said other wise. "Don't you dAH!" Too late. Once more, brown locks spread across the white, paper like pillow case as the professor laughed his heart out. Squirming and screaming, he held onto the wolf who decided that the professor's neck smelt so good!

"Sthahahop it! Sthahaop! T-Thahhakashi!" The former fiancee poked at his husband again as he tried to free his feet. The other squeaked as he felt his own tickle mood coming on. This closeness was something he wanted more than anything to have again with the other. "Gehehet ahahaway fhrom mahay toes! AH! Shahahit, nhohot thahat one!"

This was fun, a fun both missed over the years of tension and absence. The hiccups snorts escaping were so charming to the new captain that he moved to the socked pinky toes. That's when Adam started to go berserk, well that and Kosmo was starting to move up to his ear again.

"Chahan't, nahahaho! Khahashi!" The small giggle, whimper that escaped qued the other in to stop. Adam was at an overload. Looking back, he could see why. Kosmo kept going from the hypersensitive ear to under the chin. It was a killing combination. "Hey buddy, no more. He needs to breathe, alright?"

Shiro had moved up more to get the wolf babe's attention. Eyes looked back at Adam's painting form before looking up at Shiro and back again. "Yes, he needs a break. You wanna cuddle that's fine, but no more tickles." And the babe flopped with his tongue out again. Man he was so cute. Shiro chuckled before rubbing his tummy a little and earn it some leg kicks.

"Well, " the breathless male sighed as he mostly calmed down. "If your not here to fight, grab that bed. I know your not resting enough." Shiro was a bit stunned but honestly couldn't bring himself to protest. Sleeping beside Adam again, the memories of how pushy the other got for all the right reasons.

He did as told before securing the posts together. Undressing a bit, he climbed into the other bed, moving on the crease between beds to steal a kiss. A kiss that quickly turned into a contest for air as memory, years of lacking touch, and love took over. If Kosmo want present and Adam wasn't still sore, the captain might try his luck to take it up a notch, but he wouldn't.

He needed to wait for that, to fall in love again. But the idea Adam stated of a familiar and old feeling wasn't that. Shiro knew this was love, fresh love. The kiss broke as he giggled softly, pulling back to cover his mouth. Adam landed, a smirk plastered on his face. He'd clawed at the other's ribs slightly and his hand was still formed. "Missed you too," the younger chuckled before squealing as the close found his thigh.

"Oh, I so missed this, " Adam teased before negotiating his release with his grandson. Kosmo agreed before flopping on the abandoned, warm mattress. Adam covered him before "wrestling" with his former love for an upper hand.

As night fell over the military compound, Keith began to look for his son as he grew worried. What he found was actually rather receiving. Like a child, the breakup affected him like a divorce would. No kid was ever okay when their parents split. But seeing Adam curled up in top of Shiro as the other holds him protectively.... he knew things were going to be okay.

Tucking Kosmo in with one of his hippo toys, he gave the babe a kiss before heading back to his own room. Maybe going back wouldn't be so bad after all.
