A Glimpse and A Talk

(Short chapter I know but I felt this was a good stopping point and I fucked up most of my one day off a week before writing. Plus I have a long day of work so I probably wouldn't be able to release the chapter on time otherwise.)

The smell of grass and nature was the first thing Cain noticed. The next was the sounds of birds and rustling leaves. Opening his eyes Cain saw a beautiful canopy as the sunlight showed through the leaves. Thinking nothing of hid surroundings he stood. His sleek fur shuddered as he shook free the litter from the forest floor.

His body stretched out as his head lowered. His mouth opened showing his sharp teeth. Nine beautiful blue tails flowing behind him as they shook. Looking around he couldn't find the figure he was looking for. Worried he started to sniff the air his nose wrinkled in the attempt.

Finding traces of what he was searching for he started leaping off in that direction. Each leap covers great distances as he weaved in between the great trees around him. His pace quickened as he could smell the blood in the air.

His paws carried him through the forest as the smell of blood got thicker. Traces of blood on the trees and markings on the ground showed a fierce chase. Soon sounds of snarling and laughter could be heard.

The sounds having neared him came to a stop as he broke through a clearing. Upon seeing the sight his heart grew cold. In the clearing stood two men and on the ground lay a beautiful brown fox covered in wounds. It was just a normal fox but to the large blue fox it was the world.

"Ugh." An unknown amount of time later Cain started to wake up. He had no recollection of his dream but he felt great rage and sorrow. He quickly calmed as he felt his head resting on something cool and soft as he felt something going through his hair. His blue eyes flickered open only to be met with a pair of unfocused caramel. The owner's hand combing through his hair.

"Alice? What are you doing?" Her hand froze as her eyes opened wide. She had been lost in thought right now as she waited for can to wake up. Her hand moved on it's own and started petting him as she thought of the future. Her hand shot back quickly as she hurried to explain.

"I.. I was just waiting till you woke up but your hair felt so soft." She explained quickly as she reminisced in the feeling of a few moments ago. Cain instead of be living her thought immediately of the paintings. 'She must like petting me... Not that I really mind it feels good.'

Cain didn't get up as he looked up at her. He obviously wasn't in the living room as he could see he was in a room and a bed was underneath him. Looking around he could tell he was in his new room. But there was one more thing that had him him confused.

"I don't mind that... Actually, you can do it more if you want. What I meant was why is my head on your lap?" Alice was sitting at the edge of the bed as his head was in her lap looking up at her. Her petite chest partially blocked his view of her face.

Hearing his words she didn't panic like earlier. Her hand stretched back out to play with his hair again now that she had permission. A small smile showed on her face as she enjoyed the sensation. "That's actually due to you. You refused to let me leave your side. Anytime I tried to leave you latched on to me." She spoke with a giggle.

Cain's ears folded down as he looked away from her. His face turned red as his embarrassment grew. But he soon realized his mistake in doing so his face now becoming buried in her abdomen. Her scent filled his lungs as the softness consumed him.

Despite wanting to pull away the scent was comforting to him. Her hand paused for a second but soon continued as her free hand reached for his that sat on his chest. "We were worried about what happened earlier. Edward came back later and apologized. But he was completely out of line we are happy to have you here and will never leave you."

Alice picked up his hand and interweaved her fingers with his as she continued nervously. "I know this will sound weird to you but... I love you. I know we just met but I've seen you over and over in my visions. Every time I could feel my care for you as well as the love you showed me." Cain once again stiffened.

Feeling his tension she quickly continued. "I know it's fast and a lot to take in. You don't have to respond right away. You see we vampires are beings frozen in time never to change. So when we fall in love our body will hold that for all eternity." Alice's hand caressed his ear as her grip tightened on his hand.

"I just wanted you to know that regardless of anything I am here for you. I will always be here no matter what." Her words seeping into his heart caused his body to relax. He turned to look back up at her. His slitted blue eyes showed a surprising seriousness.

"So I wasn't the only one." His hand reached up and touched the side of her face as she held on to the back of it. "From the first moment I saw the paintings in your room I knew. Then I heard that you saw me in a vision. Your reaction when I lost control and my body's response. I could tell that you are and will always be someone special to me."

Sitting up he turned to her and held her hands. "As you said I know it's fast but something in my soul is calling to you. I want you in my life now and forever." Alice's face brightened as their faces drew closer.

But as their lips were about to touch their sensitive ears caught the sound of boisterous laughter. "Ha I won cough it up Jasper. I told you it wouldn't take a day." Alice's face grew dark as she turned and yelled. "Emmett shut up!" Looking at her cute angry face with slightly puffed cheeks Cain could help to laugh.

"Haha, Emmett you better split whatever it is with me since you bet on us." Cain spoke with a chuckle as he flopped back down on the bed. He dragged the still-pouting Alice into his embrace. Her head now rested on his chest.

"Over my cold body, I won this fair and square." Cain just rolled his eyes as he held Alice. 'Here this way I can talk to you and nobody can hear.' His voice sounded in her head as he kissed it. She looked up at him in a slight surprise. She had heard him before like this but had long forgotten.

Her eyes looked at him for a few seconds. Guessing her thoughts he continued. 'I can speak to you like this but I can't hear you. It's like I project my will for you to hear. You can just write on me I'm sure you don't want have that happen again.' As he expected she lightly slapped his chest before quickly started to write on his chest her face in a slight pout.

'Say that sooner meany. You made me look stupid. So... are we official then?' Her expectant gaze fixed on him as her hand continued to feel his tight chest. Looking at her innocent look and not-so-innocent actions he couldn't help but chuckle. 'If I said no would you continue to molest me?' Her hand stopped as she looked away in embarrassment. Gripping her chin he turned her to look at him as he moved closer. 'But yes we are. Now and forever.'

(Did you know foxes are in general monogamous and tend to mate for life regardless of the situation.)
