Chapter 21 - Shadows that could be home

It's been a few days since FunPup last saw Inshal, FunPup should hate her. She ruined her life, she promised a better life as a fletchling but now she is a full half vampire. Now she has almost bit Willow multiple times, she didn't because she has a strong self control but Willow saw how her eyes now change. From a beautiful rich brown to cold and dead blue, she should hate Inshal for her lies. 'And to confess a love that's only a few days old right after, the guts she has is to much' FunPup hissed in her head.

But she doesn't, for some reason FunPup finds herself thinking about the hybrid most nights. Even if the soft, fluffy and indecent Willow has her snout snuggled into her fluff, she thinks about Inshal. FunPup feels something but she doesn't think it's love, but it's something. 'What is wrong with me? What will happen now?' FunPup felt stress ever since that day when she drained Marlo from his wrist. "FunPup" Willows soft voice stopped her from spiraling.

"Yes" FunPup matched her soft tone.

"Your eyes" Willow had a frown as she pointed at her eyes.

"I can feel it" FunPup layed back her vision went red for a few seconds, whenever that happend she felt an earge to bit Willow.

"You need me to get you something?" Willow asked, they were at FunPups apartment. Willow came over after her last class of the day, they were watching a show and FunPup got hungry quickly. "Yes please" FunPup nodded laying her head back seeing the world turn red once more. "Do you have a cut?" FunPup asked smelling a metallic warm liquid.

"Yes I got a paper cut" Willow responded handing her a bag of cows blood.

"I need to get more soon" FunPup thumped her tail and Willow winsed.

"You hit me" Willow grabbed hold of her arm.

"Sorry you ok?" FunPup saw that her arm ached.

"I'll be fine, please be careful" Willow then rested her back on FunPup. They sat in silence for a while, FunPup finished a large bag and she still felt the hunger. "So do you know when you'll get better?" Willow asked cuddling up to her.

"No, but I hope it will get better" FunPup wrapped her arm around her and kissed the top of her head.

"I hate seeing you like this" Willow nuzzled into her neck, "I just want to see you better".

"I know, tonight I'm going out, maby I'll think of a solution" FunPup is just putting her life and happiness into pure chance at this point.

"Ever considered trying to find anuther vampire for advice?" Willow asked and FunPup thought for a moment.

She thought back to the only vampire she has 'met'. She was around 8 years old in her parents back garden, she was playing with the climbing frame they had and she heard something in the forest behind their home. FunPup went to investigate and she wondered in deep, eventually she heard something that sounded like a furry. She called out to it, "hello!" and a dark tall furry with golden like fluff emerged from the shadows of the trees. "Hello" he had a deep voice and it startled FunPup a little, "what is chiled like you doing out here alone? there is dangers you know" he grind and his thangs didn't fit in his mouth. "Well tell me your name" he leaned on a tree and asked.

"F- FunPup" she stuttered taking a step back and positioning herself so she could run at any second.

"No need to be scared" he walked forward, "I'm Shade". FunPup didn't answer, she was to scared to talk. "You look like you have potential" he tilted his head with a wired grin, "want a gift?" he asked and FunPup felt her heart race.

"What gift?" FunPup wrapped her tail around her leg to comfort herself.

"A better life" he bared his teeth and the thangs got bigger, they were sharp and had blood stains.

"FunPup!" she heard her mother call for her.

"No!" Shade grabbed hold of her and pinned her to the ground when she moved. She felt a sharp pain on her neck and she cried out, he put pressure on her neck and she felt the blood drain from her. Before she passed out Shade spoke, "I'll be awaiting your arrival in the shadows, FunPup" blood dripped from his thangs and she blacked out.

The sounds of a heart monitor rang in her head, "FunPup your alive!" her mothers shocked voice called from her side, she sounded like she was crying. She had the same pink fluff but had dark grey fur instead of her silver that has now faded to an almost white. FunPup looked around and she saw her father next to her, he was silver all over and no other coulers or fluff. "What happened? we know what that bite is" he grabbed hold of her and exsamend her mouth when she opened it to speak. "No, no no no no" he shook his head and walked back.

"What?" FunPup asked, staring to panic.

"She turned, she is dead" her father decleared. Everyone then took a step back with sock and her parents left with her immediately.

Ever since that day her parents managed to get her to a half vampire with the help of a prest but then refused to call her their child. They shut her out and only talked to her so they know she eats. Why they didn't kill her of? she has no idea but she knows that she can be apart of normal society. "No" FunPup responded to Willows questions, "I'm not sure if I should though" FunPup pet Willows side.

"Why? didn't have a great introduction?" Willow asked kissing FunPups cheek.

"If you call a strange tall vampire furry, pinning and draining an 8 year olds blood a bad introduction then yes" FunPup nodded and a wave of hunger rushed through her once more.

"You're out of blood" Willow mentioned, "are you hungry?" she asked with a concerned voice.

"Yes" FunPup nodded, "I should find them, try to figure out what to do" she said after a while.

"Do you know what they're like?" Willow asked clearly curious.

"No but I think if you show that much curiosity they will try to turn you" FunPup joked, thing might be going rough lately but she still has a sense of humour.

"Probably, but we can agree I would be the best vampire" Willow continued the joke.

"Yep, so why not now" FunPup jokingly went to bite her and Willow jumped up in a panic but calmed when she realised it was a joke.

"Don't do that, you know that I hate any type of violence" Willow scolded.

"And you're an alcoholic?" FunPup joked as if she wanted to confirm.

"Don't bring my addiction into this" Willow playfully punched FunPups shoulder.

"We can satisfy that addiction" FunPup grind and hugged her in, "I found that I don't feel the hunger when I'm drunk".

"You have a drink?" Willow asked a little to excited.

"Yes let me get it" FunPup kissed the top of her head and went to her cupboard with a few drinks. FunPup grabbed a strong bottle then poured a few shots for them, "you got the good stuff as well" Willow took three shots immediately.

"Ok slow down, let me have some" FunPup kissed Willow and they drank a little.

"Alright that's enough" FunPup yawned a slur and put the bottle away.

"Alright, time for bed?" Willow slurred and FunPup realised that she might puke.

"Yes, definitely" FunPup grabbed a bucket that she has and they went to her bedroom. FunPup gently rubbed Willows back when they cuddled up in a blanket. They went to sleep. FunPup woke shortly though, it was midnight and Willow was passed out in her arms. Gently moving her arms so that Willow doesn't wake up, she left the apartment and went into the forest.

FunPup didn't take the normal path, Shades words were now in her head, "I'll be awaiting your arrival in the shadows, FunPup". FunPup decided to let her instincts take a path, she went up north for hours. FunPup didn't even notice the sun starting to rise, "f-ck!" she yelled out and dashed to a thicker part of the forest. She ran fast, she finally found a bit where the sun can't hit the ground. A sigh was let out and she rested her back on a tree, she looked around to see if she can recognise something. She looked around blindly then something hit her in the heart when she saw on old climbing frame in a back garden. She was back at her parents house, 'but they live hours away from me, even with a car' FunPup grabbed her head.

"Have you chosen yet?" a deep voice called from behind her, FunPup snapped behind her and saw Shade. "Nice to see you've grown FunPup" he smiled and his blood stained thangs shined in the rising sun light.
