Chapter 3

Sabatians pov:

We ran for what felt like hours, the wind was crisp and cool. Passing trees I swear I've passed through the entire time. "We need to take a break otherwise we will be going in circles the entire night." Michael states. Agreeing we climb to a stable branch and I cross my legs, close my eyes and meditate. About 10 minutes in I feel a presence, quite familiar but I can't seam to fully figure out who it is, maybe what. Michael taps me on my shoulder to gather my attention. I open my eyes to see a figure below us. It's to big for a human but not big enough for a wolf, it's snout orange and it's pitch black nose, sniffing with the moonlight catching the dew on its nose. It's tail, standing tall with grace. It's tail is orange as well with a tint of rusty red and a rich chocolate brown, with a pure white at the tip of the tail. It jumps into the air and slams its paws to the ground with force almost knocking us out of the tree we were perched in. "It knows where here." "She knows we're here." I inform him. I climb down without a second thought to see this creature but before I could she took off. We decide to head back home in hopes Angelica will be there. Once we reach the house I open the door to find no one but Angelica lying on the floor asleep, near the door almost like she was waiting for us to come home. Michael went straight up to bed while I pick up and carry Angelica to the room. I told her no sleeping on the floors. She shouldn't have ran, I shouldn't have pushed her that far. In any case I'm glad she's home and safe now, for now... I can't help but worry about her safety. I can't help it because I... "Sir, your home." I look down at her sleepy face in awe, she is absolutely gorgeous. "Yes, I'm glad your home as well but please promise me you won't do that again, if you wish to go out into the forest I'll allow it but inform me before you go." she nods her head and snuggles into my chest. "Yes sir, I apologize for the way I was acting." "There is no need to apologize what's done is done, there is no need to dwell on the past, we need to move forward otherwise we'll be stuck in our past." I pull up the blanket lie her down and lie next to her as I pulled the blanket over us she turned into my chest and laid there and cuddled. Her breathe was slow her face buried into my chest and her hair sprawled everywhere, you could tell she looked tired but she was still an angel, my beautiful angel. I lay there admiring her until my body surcomes to sleep.

I slowly open my eyes. I smile as my first sight of the morning is her beautiful face. Her eyes slowly flutter open a bit red on the sclera but her icy blue eyes look more warm and softer than usual. She smiles at me and snuggles into my chest. Smiling as she greets "Good morning Sir, did you rest well?" I nod my head and place my hand over her head to play with her lose messy hair. She fliches at first but relaxes into my touch.

Angelicas pov:

I lay there in his arms peaceful, it's quiet. His hand playing with my hair. I like his touch. It somewhat makes me feel safe... what am I saying. He's not trying to keep me safe this is not how he is don't let him get to you! Your going to hurt him... you cant hurt him he loves you.

Sebastians POV:

Anglelica removes herself from my embrace and sits on the side of the bed with her back facing me. "Whats wrong Angel?" She shakes her head but remains silent. I sit behind her and wrap my arms around her. She stands up and walks into the bathroom. "I need to powder my nose." She informs me bluntly. I stand up to go to my wardrobe to fetch clothes. I reach for my casual clothes, joggers and a shirt. I put my joggers on and while reaching for my shirt the bathroom door opens.

Anglelica pov:

I open the bathroom door and my eyes fall on sabatians muscular stomach and chest. I stand for a moment in awe, until he clears his throat. I feel my cheeks heat up, I pull my eyes off of his body and onto the floor. I can feel the blood rushing through my viens. All my mind can comprehend is how straved I am.

Sabatians Pov:

I walk towards Anglelica, her eyes glued to the floor. "Angel every-" before I could say anything her lips collide with mine. I kiss back instinctively and her lips become sweeter. She suddenly pulls back. "I... I'm so sorry I'm not sure what came over me." I place my left hand on her shoulder she doesn't flinch... "There's no need..." "Yes Sir, it is necessary I stepped out of line and didn't think before I acted." A tear ran down her check. I wipe her tear away and gently kiss her forehead its okay my angle, your forgiven. "May I make a request, Sir?" as she speaks her voice becomes faint and almost fragile. "Of course, anything you wish for ill gladly do my absolute best to ensure that it is possible." Her eyes drop to the ground. "Is there a guest room I could stay in for my time being until I've made my decision on weather I want to stay or not." she wants to leave our room. "Ill get one sorted immediately." as much as it pains me to do so she packs her back and we walk to one of the guest rooms. I help her unpack and get settled hoping she may change her mind but she seamed to set on this idea. Once we finished up she goes to the bathroom to shower. As she does so I lay out sleeping clothes for her, I must take her to go shop for more clothes. The door opens suddenly and Angelica walks out towel wrapped around her hair and just underwear on. Instantly flustered by the sight I turn away and stair intently at the wall. "I... I didn't know you were still here I apologize Sir." "No need this is your personal room now I shouldn't have stayed, I laid clothes out onto the bed for you to rest in." "Thank you, Sir." I walk towards the door to return to my room, without her. "Please..." she clears her throat. "Sorry, please could you stay till I've fallen asleep." I nod my head and turn around to see that she has dressed herself. She seats herself onto the bed and allows herself to yawn. "Lie down Ill wait." she gets under the covers ad I tuck her in before I take a seat on the bed next to her. "Thh. thank you." I move her hair from her face and place a kiss on her forehead. "Its my pleasure angle." she turs onto her side with her face in the direction of me. She lets out a yawn that ends as she speaks " Good night, my lov-lord." she corrects herself. "Good night." my lady. Her eyes slowly close almost like she's fighting them to look at me one last time. After I'm entirely sure she has fallen asleep, I leave her room and return to my own. A few hours of sleep passed until I've woken up by a new noise. My eyes strain open and I check the time its barely passed midnight. I shoot up as my ears fill with whimpering, I run to a window in my room. She's there standing in full glory, the creature... its a werefox rare to come across especially in this date and time they're said to be extinct. I run outside towards where I saw the fox. I stop dead in my tracks when it comes into my sight. It looks directly at me and slowly but almost dominantly walks towards me each step she takes she seams unsure. I allow her to walk towards me and when we come face to face I reach out my hand for her to smell. She sniffs my hand and drags her tongue across it to give my hand a kiss of approval. Her head darts to the side, snarling towards the direction she looks back at me and starts trying to walk me by pushing her nose against me. Nudging me she leads me towards the front door before I go inside I put my head to rest against hers. "Will you return?" I ask her mentally. "Yes, I will do so in time but for now I need to go. Take care young healer, for the nature I walk along tells me how greatly loved and strong will you be." with that all said I wished her well and returned to my slumber shortly after.
