Chapter 15 (b): Pets and Peeves (...Contd.)

Raven and Jasmine both looked up to see Bell walking towards them her guardian Fiona had already waved her off and seemed to be escaping the giant white wolf that walked besides the tiny Japanese teen.

“That is one big wolf?!” Raven hissed reaching for Apple. The twin-tailed fox had already leapt off of the bench and into his arms.

“Aren’t wolves a fox’s natural enemy?” Jasmine asked warily, standing between Apple and the wolf, Raven smiled at her unconsciously.

“Oh calm down, Ookami isn’t going to attack your fox”, she paused, “Didn’t you say it was a puppy? You know Fox kids are called Kits, right?” she asked raising her brows questioningly.

Jasmine snickered at the exchange, “Would it attack me?” she asked curiously.

“If you attack me”, Bell answered, "Otherwise he's rather docile and incredibly lazy", she answered amused.

"Can I pat him?" Jasmine asked.

Bell paused, "I want to say yes, but given the circumstances, I don't think he'd let you", she informed weakly.
