"Ok lets go. Zee lead the way." I said. We walked 8 houses down. "Here we are. Like dad said. You will be shocked." (knock knock) "Hello Zee." Said a young man. "Hi Nate. Neve and her mom are here." "Come on in. He's in here. I take it Neve they told you what happened." "NO they didn't. Just that I would be shocked with what I see." "You definitely will be. He's in this room." "Thank you Nate."
Mom and I walked in and I saw Lycan and hid my face in tears towards mom. "Oh honey. I'm so sorry." "Has he woken up?" I asked. "Yeah. He's just sleeping. He should wake up soon though. He wanted to tell you himself what happened." "Oh Lycan. What the hell happened to you?" I said in tears. Mom rubbed my head to comfort me like she did when I was little. "Hmm. Who's there?" "Lycan? Its me Neve. Mom is here too." "Your mom is alive?!" "Hello Lycan." "Well that's good." "Lycan. What happened to you?" "Sorry you had to see me like this. Well at least I can still walk." "You can walk now! That's good! So what happened?"
"Well. Remember when we were kids and I liked to do dangerous things?" "Yeah I couldn't do them because I always had my baby brother." "Yeah. Well. I did something dangerous and it went a little too far. Was actually in my fox form when this happened. I was playing with a couple of my fox friends, I was near a river." "Let me guess you fell in to the river and got hurt." "Yep. That's the gist of it. When I was under water, I got beat up pretty good with the rocks. Apparently I was lucky. If I was a normal person I would be dead." "How long are you going to be in here?" "Oh depends on when my stitches heal. Most of them already healed. So hopefully I can come home soon. I would like to play with Lucia again soon." "I hope you don't do dangerous stuff with my brother." I said. "We don't need him getting into that kind of trouble. You are still a little swollen and have a bit of a black eye. How long ago did this happen?" "Oh. About 2 or 3 weeks ago." "When you get better I'm going you beat you up myself from worrying me." "Haha. Looking forward to it."
"Hey Lycan? Are Zee and Nate?" "Yeah. They are boyfriend and girlfriend." "Wow. A lot has happened since I was away. Oh. I sketch now. When you are better I will show you them." "That would be nice." "Oh. If you see a picture you like I will give you it Ok? Or I can make you one specifically." "All right Neve. I heard that Keyon is taking up guitar now. She even showed me. She's good." "Yeah she is. She won't do it, but she can sing." "Oh really?" I said curiously. "Ok. We should let you get some rest. I will come by tomorrow." "That would be nice. See you tomorrow Neve." "Lets go mom."
We finally made it back to Keelo's. "Keyon! Follow me!" I said looking like I was angry. "Ok?" She said confused. I looked mad. I took Keyon to my room. "Woah Neve. You ok?" "Yeah. I'm fine. First of all you can sing?! Lycan told me." "Yeah I guess." "Second of all who was with Lycan at the time of the accident?" "I think Quinn and Wren where both there among other guys. I was told Wren and Quinn dove down to save him." "I see. Keyon. This is not a request. You are doing it. You are going to sing in front of me, Zee, Lycan, and Aries." "I knew this was coming. Fine." "OK. You may go. I need to find those two and talk to them."
"Quinn? I need to talk to you and Wren." "I know. I understand I will find him." "Hey Wren. Neve needs to talk to us." "I knew this was coming. I will be prepared to get yelled at. Lets go." "Here he is Neve." "First of all lets go outside. I don't want to yell inside."
"What the Hell happened to Lycan! He is covered in stitches!" "Woah hold on now." said Quinn. "We saved him." "I know. Thankyou. How did he end up there in the first place?!" Wren explained. "A couple of foxes we met wanted to hang out. Lycan was wrestling with them and fell. That's all we know." "Thank you Wren and Quinn. I owe you guys my life." "No problem." said Wren. "How was he when you saw him?" said Quinn. "Well. I was shocked. His face was swollen and he was covered in stitches and bruises." "Yeah. They said if he got there any later, he wouldn't have made it." said Quinn. "Come here boys." I yanked them over to me and hugged them. "Thank you so much. Both of you." I said in tears. They both patted my back. "Its ok Neve. He's going to be Ok." said Quinn. "I know. Thanks to you two. You guys go in. I need to get some fresh air. Tell Aries I want to be alone. I can't have anyone with me right now." "Just don't stay out too late. OK Neve?" said Wren. "Ok Wren. See you guys later." I turned into my fox form and Ran towards the old village. I ran until I could see the village and laid down.
The boys went in to tell Aries and the others what's up. "Hey Aries everyone. Neve went for a walk alone. She said she needed to be alone. She went in her fox form. She told me to tell Aries not to follow. We waited awhile to tell you so she could go." said Quinn. "Thanks guys. Frostine?" said Aries. "I know where she went. There's not reason to worry. Once she calms down she will come back. We foxes and Raiju always come back." "Yeah. I guess so."
After a few hours they were starting to worry. "Aries Come with me." said Frostine. "I know where she is." "OK Lets go."
Neve fell asleep looking at her village. She was dreaming about when she was a child. There was this boy who came out of nowhere. They ended up being good friends. "Hello there boy." "Hello? My name is...." "My name is Neve what's your name?" "My name is....." He is saying his name but she can't hear it. Then they started playing. After awhile it changed to a different scene. "No. Don't go please. I have to. I'm sorry." He kissed Neves forehead. "Wait a min. That boys lips feel familiar. Aries? Who is that other boy with him?"
"Found her Frostine! Over here!" Neve unconsciously turned human. "Oh no. She turned human again. Lets see how bad it is! Oh no. She is freezing." "I got a blanket." Said Frostine. "Here put it over her. I will carry her on my Raiju back." "Lets go then. Come on Aries." "Hang on Neve! Hang on! Stay with us!"
They finally got to the house, Frostine got Neve so Aries can transform to human. Aries rushed Neve to her room. "Zayla! Big Lucia! Neve is sick! Aries is in her room with her. We found her in her human form passed out in front of the old village you used to live in. That Village means a lot to her. Doesn't it?" "Yeah. It does. Is she going to be ok?" "Well if she gets warm she will be."
"Come on Neve! Stay with us!" said Aries. Neve was shivering like crazy. "Its ok Neve. Your going to be ok." said Aries. "Your mom dad and brother are here." "Mommy? Daddy? Lucia?" Neve said unconsciously. "We are here Neve." said Mom. She her dad and Lucia all held her hand praying she will make it. "I'm scared." She was saying unconsciously. "Its ok baby. mommy and daddy are here. So is your little brother." said Zayla. "Sing me a song mommy." "Ok baby." Then she started singing the lullaby she sang when Neve was little. "Hmm Hmm mmm hmm." Then Neve's body calmed itself. Aries felt Neve's head. "She had a fever. Dammit Neve! Someone get a cold rag. She has a fever." One of the cousins got a bucket and a rag. "Here you go." "Neve. Come on. Wake up. Please wake up." It was getting late Everyone went to bed except for Aries.
It was midnight. "Hmm. No. No! Aries. Please be careful. I don't want you to die." Aries was asleep and he woke up hearing Neve worried. "Neve. Its ok. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. Come on Neve. Come back to us. This fever needs to go away. If its not down by tomorrow morning I am getting help." He rinsed the rag and put another cold one on her head. "Oh Neve." He touched her cheek and rubbed it. As he was rubbing it , he was singing the lullaby again for her. "Good night Good night. its time now to sleep. The moons watching over you and your dreams...." "Hmm." "Neve? Are you ok?" "Hmmm." She was panting. "Ha....Ha....Ha..." "Neve. Please hang in there. If your panting doesn't stop I am getting help sooner than later." "Ha...Ha...Ha.... Aries. Help me." "I'm here Neve. Just hang on. I will right back. I'm going to get someone to get help I will be right back."
Aries woke up Zee. "Zee!" He banged on her door. (Bang bang Bang) "Aries. What is it? Its 1:30 in the morning." "I need you to get your boyfriend. Neve is worse." "What?! What's wrong?!" "She's panting now. Her fever is getting worse." "On it! Be right back." She turned into her Raiju form and ran 8 houses down. Once she got there she turned human. Zee banged on the door. (Bang. Bang. Bang.) "Nate! We need help!" Nate came running to the door. "What is it Zee?!" He saw her worried face and tone. "Its Neve. Her fever won't go down and her breathing. She's panting." "Let me get my things." "Hurry!"
"What happened?!" "She went for a walk in her fox form. Then it was a few hours everyone was starting to worry. Aries and Frostine went to find her. They found her asleep in her human form." "Ok thanks. I think I have a good idea how to help." "Lets move in haste." They went in there forms and finally got there and transformed human.
"She's Right here." "Oh Neve. Hello Aries." "Oh Nate. Thank god your here!" "I know. Zee told me what's going on. Let me take a look." He looked at Neve as a doctor would. Then he checked her Vitals. "Ok. Well. She does have a really high fever. Hey pulse is really fast. I will give her a shot to calm her down. As for when she will wake up, hopefully around tomorrow or should I say this morning sometime." "Thank you Nate." "Oh and she should drink this when she wakes up. It will help her recuperate." "Thanks to the both of you. Woah. Her fever is going down." said Aries. "It does that." said Nate. "Once the person is calm, the fever goes down." "I will give it to her in the morning." "If anything gets worse come back to my house ok?" "Goodnight Zee." Night Nate. Thanks."
"I hope she gets better." said Zee. "Me too." said Aries. "You should go back to bed Zee. Sorry for waking you." "Its fine. It was an emergency. I think I will go back to bed." She said while yawning. "Night Aries." Aries held Neves hand and closed his eyes. Hey dreamed about the time she would wake up.
9:00 in the morning, Aries woke up. "Hmm. Huh? Oh yeah. Neve is sick. Come on Neve. Please wake up." He kissed her forehead. He sang to her again. "Good night Good night. its time now to sleep. The moons watching over you and your dreams...." Before He can finish, "Hmm. Aries?" "Neve?! Are you awake?!" He was getting his hopes up. She slowly opened up her eyes. "Aries." She said in tears. She slowly sat up. "Come here Aries." I gave Aries a hug. "Oh Neve. Thank god you woke up. I was so worried. Oh Nate said to drink this when you woke up." "Thanks Aries." I said. I drank the medicine and put the cup down.
"What happened to me? Last thing I remember is going for a walk. I ended up walking towards my village until I saw it. I remember sitting down in my fox form. That's the last thing I remember." "Well. You were out there for hours. Frostine and I went out to find you. We found you unconscious on the ground in your human form." "Oh. I must have fallen asleep and unconsciously turned human. I remember having a dream about a boy I met when I was little. I couldn't hear his name when he said it, but we ended up playing. Then my dream fast forwarded to when the boy left. He kissed my forehead and I recognized that touch." "Yeah?" said Aries. "It was you Aries." "Was it now?" "I don't know if you lived there or were just visiting. There was another boy too. I don't know if he was with you or what? He looked like a lonely kid." "He wasn't with me, but I remember that kid. I was visiting that day I met you. I was staying in an inn with my mom and brothers for awhile while I was at your village for business I guess." "Hehe. I'm glad I found you again." "I am too Neve. I also would like to know who that lonely boy was too. For some reason I think I have meet him recently. Anyways Neve. I will be right back. I'm going to get your parents and brother, I will tell everyone your awake." "Y-yeah." He kissed my head. Then left the room.
