Welcome to Gaia! ::

Firther, and Ihaco watched as the girls changed forms, and ran into the darkness. When they were gone Firther turned to Ihaco, and looked him dead in the eyes. "Well I'm not stupid. Please tell me you didn't treat Tessa as just another ********?" Firther said almost looking angry. Before Firther could say anything else, Ihaco leaned up against the tree his horse was teathered to. "Firther. I know what you mean now, and you're right. I've found the girl I want to settle down with. Firther she's amazing. And she can keep up with me!" he said his eyes getting wide.

Firther rolled his eyes. "Get on your horse. We're going swimming, and you can tell me about it on the way to the Great Lake." He said getting on his own horse, and riding off into the woods with a loud lovesick howl. Ihaco followed suite, and as he followed Firther right on his heels he bellowed his love for Tessa in a deep howl. "I could get used to doing that!" Ihaco yelled up to Firther who just at that particular dodged a very large tree. Ihaco barely made it because his mind was on Tessa.

Soon, they reached the Great Lake where the first war between the Elves and the Werewolves had first taken place. That had been nearly a millennium since then. Leading their horses out to graze in the field, they shed their clothing, and dove into the deep water from the rocks above. Firther surfaced first, and waited for Ihaco when suddenly he was thrown from the water. Ihaco came up laughing as Firther made a large splash in the water several feet from him. Firther also laughed as his head broke the surface.

"So tell me about it seeing as I'm still a virgin, and will remain so until I marry Felicia. Which will be soon by the way since I proposed to her tonight." He said with a large smile. "Niiice." Ihaco said. "Congratulations my brother." Ihaco paused. "Oh come on, Ihaco! You tell me every other time. What's so different this time?" Firther said slyly.

"Everything is different this time, Firther." Ihaco said with a triumphant smile. "Tessa gave me the best feeling during sex that I've ever gotten from any Elf. Hell, I've been with a few humans, and they don't even compare to Tessa. It's like she knew exactly how I wanted everything, and her voice just sends shivers down my spine. And her tail!" He paused there looking lovesick. "I had no idea that she even had a tail until I felt it. It scared me at first, but Firther I tell you it's so soft. I think I got a hair in my mouth at some point, but I didn't even care!" Firther remained silent, letting Ihaco do all the talking.

"Firther just the heat of her body against my cold, slightly purple skin felt perfect. I can't get her off my mind, and I know that I'll never have enough of her in my life. Firther I want to marry this woman. I know I want to, and I"m going to. I just don't know when. I think it's too soon to ask. And we uh...we didn't use protection. I know that I don't have any children by any other women, but Tessa just felt so different. If she gets pregnant, I won't hesitate to ask her for her hand in marriage. Enemies or not I love her." Ihaco said floating on his back under the half moon. "I love her." he said sighing happily.

"I have just one thing to say," Firther said with a smile, "And that's I told you so." Ihaco tackled Firther , and took him down under the water with him. They wrestled around for a bit under the surface, and then finally Ihaco broke free, and gasped for air as his head broke through the water. FIrther followed just behind him, breathing normally with a smile. "I guess that means you yield." He said with a smile looking at Ihaco. "Yeah yeah yeah. We need to get back. It's getting to be dawn, and we haven't slept in a while."

Firther nodded, and both boys swam to shore, and shook themselves off. Their clothes clung to their wet bodies as they put them back on with out a care. Jumping on their horses, Firther, and Ihaco howled once more telling the world of their love, but knowing Felicia and Tessa couldn't hear them, or they thought at least. In fact, they didn't know if the girls could hear them or not, but they howled regardless. They rode off into the dawn's first light, back to their kingdom, so no one would notice they had been gone.

Finally, they made it back to the stables, and put the horses away. They used the secrete passages to make it back to their designated rooms silently. Once in bed both boys fell fast asleep knowing that they had finally found love, and that son they'd never have to part again.

~~~~~~~~~

Firther woke to a knock on his door. Still dressed in his clothes from the day before, Firther jumped out of bed, and sat at his desk pretending to be reading. Fixing his hair quickly, he said, "Enter." The door opened slowly, and there stood his father, the King. "Father. Welcome home. How was your trip?"

Firther's father wasted no time in telling him about the trip. "But that's nothing too interesting." His father said with a laugh. "What about your love interest? When will you be bringing her here so we can present her tot he court, and our people?" Firther looked a little uncomfortable, but he was saved having to explain himself when suddenly his little cousin ran into the room. "Firther! I want to play now!"

Firther's eyes greww wide, but he thought to himself, "It's now or never... Father. you remember her don't you? Bayath and Jillhanna's daughter. She's returned to us." Firther said with a smile. "I fully intend on taking care of her as my own." He said a little nervously.

The King stared at the little girl. "My it has been a long time. Is this your doing? Did you rescue her Firther? You must have. You're my son. Brave...Fearless! Tell me how you came about this idea, and how did you execute it so marvelously with out starting a war?" He said with his eyes lit up excitedly. "Did Ihaco help you? I know he's returned from his trip abroad, and I mean abroad." he said giving a hearty laugh.

"Well. That's just it father. Ihaco had nothing to do with it. It wasn't his idea, and to tell you the truth it wasn't my idea either." Firther said slowly. His father 's eyes became stern. "What do you mean?" he said. "Well father, it was an even exchange. Her for a wolf boy. I do not mean to upset you father, but it was the idea of Princess Felicia of the Kingdom of Wolves, and..."

The Kind stood up quickly. "Wolves!? Here in our kingdom! Firther how could you betray us like this!?" Firther spoke up quickly. "Never father. It was on neutral ground. I want to be a King, not a Jester! I'm wise for my age by watching you. I would never do something like bring a wolf on our lands." He said hoping his father would not pick up on his love for the beautiful princess.

Firther's door opened once more, and his mother, the Queen, entered. "Zakor, remember your arthritis, and how it flares up when your upset." She said in a soothing voice, but outside the clouds were raging. Many lighting bolts reached the ground, and split several trees. "Father please don't be upset with me. I only wanted us all to be happy again with Tira home. Remember how happy you were to see her after all those year!" Firther said in a last ditch effort to calm his father.

The queen looked at Firther in a fluid motion. "Tira...Tira has returned to us?" She said with tears in her eyes. The little girl who sat beside Firther looked up at the mentioning of her name. "Yes, mother. She is safe at home. Princess Felicia, of the Kingdom of Wolves, and I exchanged the small children in hopes that maybe one day all of them could be exchanged." He paused here eying his father carefully. "We wish to bring peace between the kingdoms."

The Queen softened her gaze on her son, and went to hug Tira. "While I find your cause noble son, I just don't think it will work. I'm sorry my darling boy." She said taking Tira by the hand, and leading her out the door. Firther looked at his mother with despair in his eyes. Never in all his years had his own mother told him that he wouldn't succeed. Firther became hurt inside, and the room became cold.

"Now son, don't worry. Your mother is right. Beasts like the werewolves have no feelings. They enjoy bathing in carnage that they leave in their wake. I would have you thrown in the dungeon to learn your lesson, but I will not have you killed by the beasts you are trying to help."

Firther fought to hold his tongue. He wanted to lash out at his father for saying the things he said because he knew that Felicia was different, and Tessa too. Ice began to frost over the windows, and snow began to fall in his room alone never hitting the floor. Giving himself a moment to think about his next words carefully, he finally spoke. "You're right father. I don't know why I ever thought that they could be one in peace with us. I'm sorry father. Forgive me." He said kneeling in front of his father as the snow continued to fall on their shoulders.

King Zakor touched his son's head gently. "All is forgiven my son. I'm just glad that you brought Tira home. We throw a feast tonight in your honor, and will not speak of this exchange. You and Ihaco will be hero's tonight." The king slid out of Firther's room with out another word. "Yes, we will be hero's father. Felicia, and Tessa too." He said through gritted teeth.

Saying the backstabbing things he'd said about Felicia's people had tore him inside. Firther paced in his room, and beat on his walls. He needed to escape. He wanted to hold Felicia in his arms, and lay her in his bed just to feel her breathe beside him. Soon, the snow stopped falling, and the windows were void of frost. "I need to go riding through the country. Maybe that will help clear my mind."

Not bothering to wake Ihaco, Firther slipped out of their ward of rooms, and took the back way to the stables. As he walked he placed his crown on his head, and buckled his sword to his belt as it rested in its sheath. He walked up tot he same horse that he'd ridden the past few days, and petted it gently. "Come on girl. Let's go on a ride." He said as the horse neighed happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Firther returned hours later, in time to have his clothes pressed for that evening's feast, and had time to spare to send Felicia a letter. He sat down in his room, dipped his quill into his pitch black ink, and wrote to her the most beautiful love poem.


"To feel you envelope me into your arms
Arms that look to be feminine and yet strong
I want to be where you are
I want to know that this high can get better
We can go anywhere
So long as I'm with you
The stars the moon and the sun
Could not make me feel
The way you do
It's like eternity
When I sit here waiting
Waiting for the day I not only hear your voice
But wake to find you next to me
When you put a smile on my face"

Felicia, my beautiful bride to be. I only wish to say that I love you, and that I have spoken to my father of the exchange. He was furious, and my mother is no help other than being happy Tira is home safely. They are throwing a feast in my honor tonight, as well as Ihaco. They are going to lie about how Tira come home. I'm furious. I wish now more than ever that I had you at my side as my queen. I love you Felicia. Forever and Always.

Yours,
Firther


Not bothering to re-read it, he called to his bird, and sent the letter off hoping that it would reach Felicia in time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Firther couldn't wait any longer for Felicia to possibly return his letter with one of her own. He put his newly pressed clothes on, and made his way down to the banquet hall. Ihaco was already there, looking nervous. "Firther what's going on? What did you tell them?" He hissed through his teeth in a whisper.

Firther looked at him sadly. "I told them only about the exchange, and how Felicia and I want only to bring peace between the kingdoms. Ihaco my father called them beasts, and I was hardly able to control the cold in my room. I told him that he was right just so he would calm down. I take it you heard the trees breaking, and falling outside." Firther said quietly.

"Hell yes I heard them Firther. Why didn't you mention me, and Tessa. You know we're in it till peace or war or death. Which ever comes first." He said as the King made his way up to the two boys. "Firther, Ihaco! I'm glad you've finally made it down. I want you both to enjoy tonight. After the speech you are free to do whatever you please, but make sure you at least speak to the Earl of Havensdale. He brought his daughters to see you Ihaco.

Ihaco looked at him nervously. "I'm sorry to inform you sir, but I believe that I've found the girl I wish to settle down with. Like Firther, I'm not ready to say anything just yet. I want to make sure that it's going to work out before I ask for your permission to marry a woman who does not live in this kingdom." He said bowing at the waist slowly.

Zakor's eyes widened. "Ihaco! You too have found love at last. This is wonderful news!. Ihaco, you have always been like a son to me since your father died, and your mother left the kingdom. I am truly happy for you." The King said with a smile as he departed from both boys to start the feast.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

The feast went well, and after the speech, Ihaco slipped silently away from everyone including Firther. He was off to meet the love of his life, Tessa. Taking the many secrete passage ways to the stables, he finally petted his favorite black horse before soothing her, and climbing on her back with out the use of a saddle.

"Take me to her." He whispered in the mare's ear. The guards were not on duty on the outer walls, and so Ihaco didn't have to worry about being heard. He brought the horse to a gallop, and together they seemed to fly above the solid ground.

Finally he made it to the edge of the forest, and rode straight into it not slowing down or stopping. He stopped in a thicker area of the forest not far from the willow tree, and walked the rest of the way. He came up from behind her, but made soft, subtle noises as not to scare her.

He wrapped his arms around Tessa as she threw herself into his arms, and wrapped her legs around him. Holding her there against his body like that their lips finally met, and everything felt like Heaven. It was like the world had stopped its spinning, and nothing else mattered but them and their love.

Tessa spoke first speaking of the moon, and its energy. "Tessa my love. Do not worry, for tonight even I feel the moon's energy." He said soothing her as he kissed her face, neck, ears, lips, and chin. "I don't think I'm going to have any problems keeping up with you. Tonight is about our love and passion. You're going to have to keep up with me." He said as he leaned her once more against the great Willow tree.

Ihaco felt the quivering of Tessa's body, and knew then that they had become one body, mind, and soul. It was unlike any woman he'd ever been with, and he didn't want to let her go. Tessa had such a beautiful glow about her body as they made love there in the pale moon light.

Everything fit together so well. Every curve of her body fit into his like they were together by destiny. He let his hands glide over her smooth skin, only to take hold of her tail gently. He loved how soft her fur was, and loved feeling it against his skin.

Soon, he began to sing to her, a song that he knew as a child. "I see the moon, and the moon sees me. The moon sees the someone that I want to see." He began to pant softly as the singing on top of everything else made him short of breath.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ihaco looked down into Tessa's eyes. "I hate to see you go my love." HE said kissing her gently. He let her walk off, and as he turned to leave the tree as well, a beautiful flower caught his eyes. It lay nearly twenty yards away, but he knew that Tessa must have it.

Running to it, he picked it getnly, and took off to follow her, leaving his horse behind. He'd never set foot on the werewolf territory before, and was not afraid to do so for the power of love was strong in him. He knew that she must be far from him at that point, but he kept quiet anyways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, he saw the lights from the castle ahead of him, and he began to run silently the rest of the way to the castle. As soon as he reached the outter limit he saw her. Tessa stood in her window. He needed to get her attention quick. Looking down he found a small stone, and threw it at her window. Soon she opened it, and saw him. "My love I have come to you. I will see you soon!" he said as he climbed down the tree, and into her window.

After the short climb up the tree, Ihaco finally managed to get through her window with out being caught. He pulled her into his arms, and embraced her lovingly.Taking the white flower from his sleeve, Ihaco presented it to her with a smile on his face. "Tessa...You know that I would die if just to see you for one brief moment. For in that brief moment I see the Heaven that the Elder priests speak of in heir magic prayers."

He felt her lips on his, and Ihaco began to feel the heat of passion rising between them. He didn't care that he could be killed for being in her room, and more importantly in her kingdom. All he cared about was the fact she was in his arms where she belonged.

Their lips parted, and then he smirked. "Risky is what I had in mind." He said, as he began to lay her down on her bed. In the end, his body glistened with beads of sweat. He noticed the sunlight peaking over the trees. "Tessa, darling, we must part. It's near daylight, and I do not wish to bring you burdens."

Putting his clothes back on quickly, he made for the window with determination, when suddenly the door burst open, and Samuel ran through the arch way. "All the way from there, That's a good job, how about you get back to your room now. I was just leaving, but don't tell anyone you saw me. Okay" Ihaco said to the little wolf boy.

Samuel nodded his head, and ran back out the room shutting the door gently. Ihaco waited a moment to make sure they were safe as Tessa spoke about her mother, and how it made her worry. She began to rush him out of her window, but he would not move. "Not until I get one more taste of your beautiful lips." He said taking her head in his hand, and kissing her passionately.

With that, he slid down the tree, and took to sneaking towards the forest. Little did he know that he had been seen by one of the prison gaurds who was just about to go on duty for the day. Going down into the prison, he alerted the overseer about the intrusion saying that he saw and elf trying to kidnap his ex girlfriend.

Ihaco made it to the edge of the forest, but he suddenly found himself surrounded by wolves. "s**t." he muttered to himself. Drawing his sword, Ihaco stood in his fighting stance. One wolf changed form into a young looking man with strong arms, and large muscles.

His name was Nethaniel, and not olnly the prison guar, but Tessa's ex lover. "So, you were trying to kidnap someone from our kigdom now were you?" He said grabbing Ihaco's arms and twisting it until the sword fell from his hand. Ihaco gasped outi n pain. When suddenly he felt a blow to the back of his head.

As he fell to the ground, he looked up through blurred eyes, at several werewolves around him. Ihaco's head hit the ground hard, and as soon as it did someone one kicked him in the stomach as another person kicked him in the back, as well as a foot to his face. Ihaco began to slid in and out of consciousness, and soon he closed his eyes on the light he knew was Tessa's room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ihaco opened his eyes. He was in a cell, all alone. He began to wake more, and he felt pain in his wrists. Looking up, Ihaco saw that he hung from chains that pinched the skin, and hairs around it. As he looked down, however, he saw that there was nothing supporting him as he hung there, and that he was six feet off the ground.

"What happened?" He said groggily. He began to look around, and he saw more and more of his iwn people sitting in huddles, and in cells like his very own. Nethainiel walked over to his cell, and chuckled. "You know very well what you did, Elf. Trying to kidnap the princesses best friend." Your sentence is till your death, which won't be too far from now." He said almost whispering into the cage. "Enjoy your stay here, Elf. You're going to die here, and you can't to anything about it. He said as he walked off leaving Ihaco alone with no one near enough his cell to talk to.

Ihaco looked at Tessa through blurry eyes. "Tessa is that you? Please say that's you." he said as a droplet of blood trickled down his lower lip. Through his clouded vision, he saw another figure. "Felicia, is that you princess?" He said bowing his head as would any other gentleman who wasn't chained in midair by only his wrists.

He listened through ears who's senses had been heightened in just a short amount of time. "I thought I'd made it. I'd gotten to the edge of the forest, but they..." He said with a cough that caught blood in his throat. "...They caught me off guard, and surrounded me. Aaargh!" he said as the solution on the cloth burned his skin. "They beat me up pretty good my love, but so long as I know you're here, and that I got to see you one last time, I'm happy, and the pain isn't as great."

Ihaco shook his head in agony, but also to try and bring back his vision a little. It helped some, and he could at least see his lover's face. "Tessa, you're so beautiful." He said as a bloody tear slid down his cheek at the thought of not being able to reach out, and pull her into his arms.

An elf, who's hatred for the werewolves was visible on his face spoke up. "Ihaco. You don't mean to tell me that you are in love with this beast!? This is absurd. How could you commit such an act of treason on your own kind!?" he said spitting at the ground.

Ihaco moved his head in the direction of the voice. "Don't you ever call her a beast again, for I will have them let me loose from my bonds, and I will lash your back until the blood no longer runs. I love her, and there is nothing that will stop me from marrying her. If I get out of here that is. Even if it has to be a secrete wedding, right here in this very prison, I will love her until the day I die." He said not even knowing about his death sentence.

The Elder elf sat there with fear in his eyes. He knew that Ihaco was a dark elf, and that they had a reputation for following through with sometimes murderous acts. Ihaco would never have done that, but the furry that had built up inside of him when the old man had called Tessa a beast caused his anger to shoot through his heart, and into his veins.

Ihaco hung his head in sorrow. "Felicia, as grateful as I am for you bringing Tessa here, you two should not have risked coming here. My life is not so important that I must be..." his words trailed off there as he heaved heavily, and coughed deeply, his breath rattling in his very rib cage.

Much time had gone by, and he heard what sounded like moaning coming from where the guards had stood. Ihaco hadn't even bothered to ask the girls how they had got past the guards, but he suddenly became worried. He opened his eyes in a flash. "You two need to go. I"m not playing around. I hear someone, something, stirring at the foot of the stairs."

He opened his eyes in order to look at Tessa. "My love, you must go. Don't risk your life, and Felicia's life just to save me, to heal me. Tessa as long as I have a thought of you in my mind, I know I"ll be alright. Now go!" He said as his whole body shook involuntarily. The chains cut deeper into his wrists as he let out a howl that would of made any werewolf proud, even though it was in pain. "GET OUT OF HERE. DON'T COME BACK UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!" Ihaco said with tears in his eyes, as he tried to break free from his bonds.

He hated to see the love of his life go, but he knew that it was for the best. "I"ll see you again. I promise!" he said as the girls left him to be alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a fitful sleep, and several nightmares of Tessa dying in his arms, Ihaco woke up to a sharp pain in his ribs. It was Nethaniel. "Glad to see the pitiful excuse of a man awake." He said jabbing Ihaco hard in the side once more. Ihaco yelled out in agony, but knew he needed to show no pain. "What the hell do you want?" Ihaco said slowly.

Nethaniel stopped in front of him. "Do you love her, Elf?" He said with a smirk. When Ihaco didn't reply he yelled out as he struck him again, this time across the face. "DO YOU LOVE HER, ELF!? YOU WILL ANSWER WHEN SPOKEN TO!" Ihaco looked up with a softness in his eyes, but behind it was a hate that he'd never felt before. "Yes I love her! And what does it matter to you? Are you jealous that someone like her would never really love someone like you? A brute!?" Ihaco said in more of a whisper, but it was menacing.

Nethaniel twitched for a moment, before beating Ihaco over, and over again. When he was finished, Ihaco spat blood on Nethaniel's feet. "Why do you constantly find pleasure in beating me. What is your connection to Tessa anyway. Did you love her? Or did you just treat her like s**t.: He said with a smirk. Nethaniel merely stared acting like his temper was under check. "Or was she simply the girl you had your eye on, but lost to an Elf. An Elf who is twice the man you'll ever be!" Ihaco said laughing as he felt the painful blows to the stomach that Nethaniel dealt.

Once that beating was over, Ihaco opened the only eye that hadn't closed over. "That's what I thought. Why don't you leave me alone before you humiliate yourself?" With one last blow to the face, Nethaniel walked out of the cage, and locked it. "I look forward to your death. I"ll be beating you everyday until it happens." he said with a smile that would have scared a child.

Once Nethaniel was out of the prison, Ihaco let loose, and cried for Tessa. He knew that he needed her now, and that with his confession they could all be in trouble. Little did he know that Nethaniel didn't have plans to tell another soul, as Ihaco had hit his pride hard with his words.

Firther was sitting in his room when he heard a tap on his window. It was Felicia's bird, Hayden. He hadn't heard from her in days, as he had figured would happen. Reading her note he became immediately concerned. "Thank you Hayden. Return this." He said as he wrote down 'Two days time' on a slip of parchment.

A couple of days later, Hayden returned rushing around him quickly. Firther knew it was time to go. "Let's go. I"ll meet you there, by that tree." He said to the bird as he pointed to the tree at the edge of the outer wall.

Running through the secrete passage ways through the castle, he made it outside, and ran to the tree. He would not use a horse tonight. "Let's go. Guide me the way." He said as he continued running through the woods towards the meeting place. "Why the hell did he go there if he knew it would run the risk of everything!" Firther said aloud to himself.

He stopped talking, and kept running, and he seemed like a blur almost in the darkened sky. Soon he came to the meeting place, but they were not there. He noticed that Hayden continued to fly beyond him. "They must not have made it this far. I'm coming." He said taking off into a sprint once more. He saw the bird stop about two miles a head of him, and he ran faster. Ten minutes later he found them. Ihaco lay bloody, and beaten on the cold earth, and Tessa didn't look like she was well either.

He stopped beside them, and bent down to the ground he put his hands on Ihaco. "What has happened to you my friend.?" he said sadly. He then looked at Tessa. What's wrong with Tessa. Felicia" He said standing up to embrace her. Ihaco began to cry, and whisper to himself. Suddenly he screamed for Tessa. "Tessa! Firther is she okay?" he whimpered. He began to move towards Tessa slowly, but Felicia held him there. "No! Please let me hold her!" Firther put a hand of Felicia's cheek. "I'll take care of it." He said as he picked Ihaco gently up into his arms, and laid him closer to Tessa.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ihaco waited for days for death to come, but it never did. Nethaniel came in each day as he had promised, and dealt fierce blows to Ihaco's pain wrecked body. He wasn't even sure if he even had any blood left in his body. Eventually he didn't even care that he was being beaten. He was happy knowing that Tessa was safe.

He spoke to some of the elves he'd once known as a child, the ones who had disappeared on nights of war. Then one night, he felt a cold wind drift through the prison. He could feel death breathing down his neck. Ihaco was giving up, but suddenly he heard the opening of his prison cell, and he began to speak, "Tessa..." but he was hushed by soothing words.

He tried to protest, but somehow a smile came to his face. He couldn't see her, but he knew that it was his angel, Tessa. He fell to the ground when the chains around his wrists came loose. He fell into a heap, but Felicia, and Tessa, helped him to stand, but he couldn't feel his legs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They escaped the prison, and were on their way to the meeting place. Ihaco could not see, and so he relied on the girls to help him find his way. He heard Tessa's breathing begin to shallow, and she began to cough. "Tessa. Just...take your time. I told you not to worry about me." He said beginning to worry about the love of his life. It wasn't until he heard Felicia yell Tessa's name that he knew Tessa had gone down.

Felicia laid him gently on the ground, and he began to cry for Tessa. "Let her be okay." He whispered to himself. Ihaco went into a sort of panic, and then he felt hands on his arm and head. "What has happened to you my friend?" It was Firther. "Tessa! Firther is she okay?" He whimpered to his friend. "Please just let me hold her!" HE said when Felicia held him down from moving. She was gentle, but her needed Tessa. Soon, the pressure of Felicia's hand's was removed, and he felt Firther gently lift him into his arms, and soon he could feel the fur of Tessa's tail on his hand. "My Angel." he said whispering. "Are you alright lover? Please be okay."
