Morning (Haru!)

[Spottednose]

Patch woke up the next morning, the sun shining brightly through the den entrance. To bad she couldn't enjoy it. She took in a sharp gasp as she had awaken. She had woken after having another nightmare.

Her father had found her, and had treated her just like he had as a kit. She had tried to fight back, but had been no match for him. He had left her lying on the ground, blood coming out of the many scratches on her. He had left her so weak that she hadn't even had any energy to lift up her head. Her mother had just laughed at her. After they had left, she had called out to her only friend for help. Haru. She had called his name, as long as she could, but no one ever came. She had just about been to slip away, when she woke up.

She glanced at Haru, as soon as she had awaken. She couldn't tell if he was still asleep or not. She took a few short breaths, to try to calm herself down. Her father wasn't here, she had to keep reminding herself. She looked at the entrance of the den. Maybe she could go outside, into the sunshine. Maybe that would calm her down.

((Sorry if it's hard to fallow. I can't seem to concentrate. XP))

Haru was awake. His eyes appeared to be closed, but they were open just a bit.

"G'morning. What's wrong?" He asked her. "Another nightmare?" He stood up and padded over to her.

((Meh... short... xP))

Patch nodded, and swallowed hard. "My... My father found me. He tried to kill me." She said, her voice shaky. Her voice sounded like it was about to crack. "I called to you for help, but you never came. You never came. Your my only friend, and you never came." Tears were in her eyes, and a knot formed in her throat. She looked up to look Haru. She bit her lip, and a tear fell down her face. She was still obviously shaken from her nightmare.

Haru stepped closer to her and nuzzled his face into her neck comfortingly. "Hey," he said gently, calmly. "I'll always be with you, okay? I won't let him get you again," the tom told his friend. "Everything's gonna be okay."

[Spottednose]

Patch nodded, and swallowed hard, trying to get the knot out of her throat. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't. Only a few more tears fell. She just lay there, enjoying Haru's company, just knowing he was there. After a few minutes, she finally found her voice again. "It seems like a nice day outside. Do you want to go outside with me, so we can enjoy the sun?" She tried to keep her voice steady, but it was still a little shaky.

Hatsuharu let her calm down, watching her with calm eyes. He smiled when she finally spoke. She had a beautiful voice.

"Yes, let's," Hatsuharu said. He left the den with her at his side and looked around to admire the scenery. Dew drops still rested peacefully on patches of grass and clung to flower petals. The sun was just rising, decorating the sky with streaks of pale pink, light yellow, and peach that all blended nicely with the blue. Clouds floated carelessly, and Hatsuharu wondered what it would be like to be a cloud. Then again, it was pretty cold up there.

A butterfly flitted past them, then back, and lit gracefully on Hatsuharu's black nose.

"So fairies do exist after all," he said in that monotone of his. He knew what he said would make Patch laugh, especially with how he sounded so serious and didn't crack a smile as he spoke.

Patch laughed at the look on Haru's face. It was a happy, comfortable laugh, and Patch was grateful for it. After a few moments, she tried to stop, but found that she couldn't. After a few more moments, she tried to stop again. She was able to stop just enough to nuzzle Haru on the neck. "Thank you for making me feel better." She giggled, as she pulled away. She was smiling broadly. It was a genuin, happy smile, that she loved. She loved to be in this happy of a mood, and it didn't take much to get her there.

Hatsuharu looked at her with that same blank expression. "It wasn't me. It was the fairies. They threw their pixie dust on you, and cheered you up."

((xP short))

[Spottednose]

Patch laughed even harder. "Yeah! Fairies! They fix everything!" She laughed. She ended up falling on her side from laughing so hard. After she had finished, she rolled back and forth on her back a couple of times, then looked at Haru. She tried to keep her expression as seriousas his, but she couldn't help, but let a small smile escape her lips. "So? Should we ask the fairies what we should do now?" She asked, and looked mischievously, like a kit would, at Haru.
