"Man. I need a rest." I said. "Actually. My house is near here. You said you wanted to meet my brothers right?" "Yes please." (knock knock) "Coming!" said his mom. "Oh hi Aries. This must be Neve." "Yes it is. Can we come in?" Said Aries. "Yes you may. Come on in. Leo! Hunter! Your brother is here!" They all came running out to see him then stopped. They saw he was with a girl. "Is this the girl you were talking about?" said Leo. "Yeah. It sure is. Nice to meet you Neve. I am Leo. Aries big brother." "You have met me before but let me reintroduce myself. I am Hunter his little brother." "Just curious hunter but, how old are you?" "I'm 16 years old. You know what that means right Aries?" "Yeah. Unless you work to protect to elder, you will leave the island." "Its good I'm already working for the old man then huh?" "Just don't do anything reckless to get the old man or yourself killed ok?" Said Aries. "Hey mom. Where's dad?" "Oh he's on his way home from work." "Ok cool. We will be here awhile."
We sat on the couch and relaxed a bit. "Oh speak of the devil." said Aries. "Hi dad." "Hi Aries. Oh is this her?" I stood up and introduced myself. "Hello sir. My name is Neve. Nice to meet you." "Likewise. My son talks about you non stop. You are a beauty like he says." "Thank you sir. Aries! Really? You are so obsessed with me." "Haha. Sorry but you are beautiful." "Oh brother." I smacked my head with my hand. "What am I going to do with you Aries." "Haha. Cute. We thought the same thing." said Dad. "Ok so. I want to know how you met." "Dad. Its a little embarrassing." "Oh really?" I said suspiciously. "Then I will tell him myself." "Neve. Seriously?" "Yep." "Fine." Said Aries blushing in embarrassment.
"OK. Well I was here on business. I knew of this village because Frostine is my Aunt. I was on my way to save my dad in the dragon cave. I was off with my friends walking around then I thought I saw something. Then I looked away from it and saw Aries without his shirt on. That day he was getting gopher stuff he said. I was wondering who that good looking man was. I turned around and noticed I was separated from my friends. I went to him and asked if he would help me. So he put on his shirt and helped me find them. After that once we started hanging out and he found out what I was on my way to do, he told the elder. He and Keyon ended coming with us. Keyon is actually here now too. I'm sure she's out and about somewhere with Quinn. They are together now." "Oh really? I would like to see this Quinn." "You will dad. Don't worry." "Then as we were on the trip Aries and I got closer and that's our story. I am a fox. I transformed on the way home from saving my dad. I was afraid at first because its never happened before. I kind of like my fox form now. I actually feel more comfortable in that form than my human for some reason. Anyway sir. That's our story." "Well. That's an interesting story." said Leo.
"I see you went to Mclain's store." said dad. "Yeah we did. Neve took up sketching and wanted to try different things and bought some markers paints and canvases. Oh and of course some paint brushes. Mclain suggested some paints for me. I also saw the picture he painted with the paint." "Yes well. He is a good artist. See those pictures above you? Those are his." I stood up and looked. "Hey there's the picture I saw in his store." "Yeah. We got a copy." "All of them are so beautiful." I said. I noticed I was staring for quite sometime and said, "Sorry. Excuse me." "Haha. Its fine Neve. My wife was the same way when she saw them." "Hehe. Guilty."
"Well we better get going dad. I will stop by again before we leave." "OK son. See you later." I followed Aries out. "Well? What do you think?" "They were quite an interesting family." "haha. Yeah I would say so." Aries laughed.
"Are you hungry Neve?" "A little bit." "Want to go somewhere different than the Café?" I nodded. "OK follow me." I followed him to a bar looking place." "This looks like a bar." "It is during the night. Want to go in?" "Sure. Like I said I didn't get out of the village much. If fun to try new things." "You might want to put this on then." He brought me a Navy blue cape. "Oh-OK. Why may I ask?" "Just trust me. If it falls just be careful." "Oh Aries. You are such a worrywart. Hehe. OK lets go." Aries held my hand and we went inside. Aries sat at the bar table and helped me up. "Hey old man." "Oh hello Aries. Haven't seen you in awhile." "Yeah. Well I moved. I'm only here visiting as of the moment. I have to leave tomorrow though. I'd thought I'd stop by and have something to eat. Me and this person are hungry." "Oh is that right? Very suspicious indeed." "Can we order now or Not?" "Yes what would you like to drink?" "Oh we will have 2 hot chocolate's please." "OK coming right up." Aries whispered to Neve. "Sorry about this. I don't know what they would do if they saw you." "Its fine." I said, quietly. "What do you want to eat?" "Hmm lets see. Oh. That looks good. Some Cheese sticks and the club sandwich." Aries nodded.
The man came back with some hot chocolate and asked, "You ready to order?" "Yeah. Two club sandwiches please. One with cheese sticks the other with onion rings. Thanks old man." "Yep. Hey Martha! Order of cheese sticks and onion rings! Janine! 2 club sandwiches!" So they started working. I was startled when the old man first yelled at them. "Sorry about that. This is your first time huh?" "Yeah its this person's first time sir. This person is special so I can't reveal their identity. Sorry."
While we were waiting for our food, a man came up to Aries. "Is this person really that special?" He was about to touch my hood when Aries caught the man's hand. "You dare touch that person's hood, I will break your arm." "Woah there. I just wanted to say hi." Then I whispered to Aries. "Aries its fine. I'm getting stuffy in here anyway. You know I can protect myself." Then Aries whispered back. "You don't know what these guys are capable of. These guys carry knives." "Hehe. Remember I have had worse." "Neve. I swear to god if you get hurt I will never forgive them." "Its alright." Aries was getting nervous as Neve was about to touch her hood. Then she pulled it off and the bar was quiet for a little while. Then they went to their original thing they were doing. "So this is Frostine's niece." said one of the men. "You know my Aunt?" "Yeah we do. She is scary. Better not touch her niece guys." said another man. They paid and ran out of the bar. "Oh. I didn't mean to scare them away." "Its ok they will be back." said the old man with the food. "I figured you were a girl. Just didn't think you were Frostine's niece." "Sorry sir. Aries is a worrywart." "Yeah I know he is. Enjoy your food you too." "Thanks old man."
"This place is interesting." I said. "Yeah. Sorry about that." "Oh its fine. See. I told you its not a problem. Didn't turn out as bad as you thought." Just as we finished eating, a man grabbed my hand and Aries saw who it was. "Leave my girlfriend alone!" He said in anger and fright. I turned around and saw the man myself. "Aries really? We have seen monsters scarier than him." "Excuse me. Would you mind letting me go please." "Umm..no." Then I kicked him where it hurt and he held himself. We ran over to Frostine's place. "Where are they?!" said the man. "When I find them they are dead!" Neve and Aries rushed into Frostine's parents house. "haha." "Hehe. That was an adventure." I said. "Haha. You said it."
"Is everything ok you two?" Said Grandma. "Uh...Well..." Then Aries explained what happened. "You took her to that bar?! What were you thinking Aries?!" said Frostine. "Its not his fault." I said. "I told Aries I wanted to go somewhere different to eat. It looked interesting so we went in and he had me put a hood on to keep me safe. Its my fault. I took off my hood. He was trying to protect me." "Still. He shouldn't have went in." said Frostine. "Hehe. Its funny though." I said. "When a group of people saw me they where scared. They knew I was your niece Frostine. Just what did you do to those men to scare them off?" "Not to them particular. Its the bar itself. I went out when it was a bar and stood up for myself. I just fought off the guys trying to get with me." "Haha. Just like I did." "Why don't you two rest. You had a long day." "Thanks Frostine." We sat on the couch and chilled.
"Hey Aries? Do you want to try to draw something?" "Yeah sure." I got the stuff I just bought and gave him a pencil and sketch pad. I got the other one and a pencil and wanted to sketch as well. I wanted to sketch something beautiful after seeing Mclain's art. "Hmm. Oh I know." I decided to draw a field of flowers with a bunch of butterflies. After I was done, I decided to try out my markers. "Wow. Turned out better than I thought." I said. "There done." Said Aries. Then he hid his picture. "You done Neve?" "Yeah you?" "Yeah. Just finished. Where is it? Let me see it." "I'm a little embarrassed of it." "Aries. Let me see it please." She said in a serious tone. He pulled it out and gave it to her to look at. I tried to hold back my laughter but couldn't. "Hehe." "Hey don't laugh. Its my first time." "I can see that. Its actually pretty good." "Then why are you laughing?" "I'm sorry Aries. Its just so adorable." "What? Me or the picture?" "Hehe. Both." I looked at the picture again and laughed. "Ok. Take it away. I can't stop laughing." "Can I see yours Neve?" "Yeah sure." I gave him my book and he looked at my drawing. "Wow. That is really pretty." "I know right? Oh I forgot. I wanted to ask you something. I would like to stop by Mclain's on the way out. I need to tell him something." "Oh sure." "Thanks your the best." "Apparently my drawings aren't." "Hehe. They are. There is just a couple tweaks I see you need to work on." "Haha. Funny Neve."
Frostine watched how much fun Aries and Neve were having and reminded her of the old days. "Oh to be young again." "What is it dear?" Said Keelo grabbing Frostine's waist. "Oh nothing. I just miss the old days. Seeing Aries and Neve having so much fun." "Haha. Yeah. You know. We can still have that kind of fun. We just need to take the others home and say we are going on vacation." "Oh. That sounds good. When is the last time we were able to have one?" "I can't remember."
