Ch. 23

23

The next morning both Travis and Alex woke up first and as Travis started to cook for His Female; Alex was going over to try to feel her head and see if she was still hot. He didn't expect that the closer that he got to her the louder her alarms were going off that someone was getting closer. Travis was going to warn him not to piss her off by getting too close but before he could open his mouth, he seen Alex being thrown across the cave and hitting the other side and crumbling to the ground.

This shocked everyone in the cave including the Little Fuzzball who woke up so scared that he Yelped and hid in his Mother's arms. As Scarlet quickly came back to her senses after having a shocking wakeup, she looked at Alex and said "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

He was fine but he looked at her in shock because he never seen a Female do something like that. He said, "It's my fault I didn't mean to upset you I was just going to check and see if you were still hot." 

Scarlet was still trying to figure out what was going on with the fog in her head, when she realized what was going on she felt extremely bad and didn't know why. He asked for it, she said to leave her alone and he came over to her anyway and it was all his fault. 

She kept telling herself these things, but she still felt bad about doing it. This was a weird new and she didn't like it. Pulling herself from these thoughts she got up and walked over to Alex and made sure that he was not hurt. Even though it was just a quick once over the whole time she was looking at him he was looking at Travis with a smug look on his face. He was basically saying 'Ha ha she cares about me enough to make sure that I'm okay.'

Travis didn't even bother to feed it and just kept working on the food. He knew that she was just looking and nothing else. Meanwhile she washed him and treated and dressed his wounds. He was the One that was able to sleep in the same room with her, eat the wonder food that she cooked, and enjoy her singing. It didn't matter to him if she just looked at the Cobra since he was not hurt it wouldn't last long.

When she was done, Soul she told everyone to walk out and not come back in until she called. They Males both walked out with the Little Fuzzball bringing up the rear. Since he was taking a while because of his short legs Travis went to turn around to get him and Alex got mad thinking that he was just trying to sneak back in and tried to stop him.

This sparked the built-up rage and tension to a whole new level and the dams were about to break and they were about to start fighting when out of nowhere the Little Fuzzball came out of the cave in a swirling wind, looking like he was enjoying himself. The sight was not something that either of them had seen before. When they saw him coming out, they were so distracted that they completely forgot about their confrontation. They went up to him and asked how that happened. 

He just looked at both and said "My Mommy did it, but she won't teach me. I want to learn though. She said she teach me how take care of me. Make me grow up strong and smart." 

Clearly Scarlet was not going to teach anyone her Special Ability. Not even her own Pup. It made since to Travis though because he knew about her past and there would be no way that she would teach anyone, ways that can cause her any harm. She was already an incredible fighter, could heal those near death, and had the kindest heart. The more that he found out about her the more that it made his Heart Bleed for her. She didn't disserve anything that has happened to her and should have been treasured like a 'Great Spirit' that needs to be Worshiped day and night. When he heard her voice saying that they could go back in he withdrew from his thoughts and picked the Pup up and walked back in. 

Alex was so mad that he didn't make it to the Pup First because when they got back in Travis handed him back to Scarlet and she thanked him with a smile. He should have been the One to get her gratitude and now he missed out on it because Travis acted first. In the end he could only be mad at himself because, He didn't know Scarlet like Travis did. He had to figure out how to get to know her better, but she won't let him get close to her.

Being stuck in his head thinking about how to accomplish his goal of getting this Females he noticed that she just suddenly stood up and then just disappeared. Shocking both Males then they sensed that someone was close. Alex just took off and went to defend His Female and Travis grabbed the Pup and ran out. He knew that whatever it was, she would care about her Pup First. He also knew that She would be happy to know that he was safe.

When they got to the entrance of the cave, they seen a Huge Green Tarantula in the tree line. Scarlet was talking to him and then turned her back to him. Travis knew who it was because he was there when they met, but Alex had no idea that they knew each other. Thus, he went to attack him when he seen that Doctor Sebastian was coming closer to His Female while her back was turned. 

When Alex took off and ran up to the Tarantula Travis just stayed put and watched as this Stupid Male make his mistake and ruined his chances to be Her Male.
