Kitty Ears (Completed)

Search Chapter 14

Running into the cave I searched everywhere for anything. A scent, an object, even as hair. Nothing. Breaking down I sobbed in a pile of hay. Their gone and ill never find them!

"Shhh baby don't cry it's going to be ok." Lane rocked me back and forth trying to calm me down.

It was no use I sobbed for a hour when my cries turned into hiccups. We laid down on the hay just holding each other. I felt as though my heart is being ripped out and stomped on.

"What are you doing in my home!" I mans voice yelled from the entrance. Shooting up I glared daggers at the man. His home? I wanted to rip his throat out.

"Your home?" I spit out with as much venom as possible.

"Yes my home. I won it fairly so get out." He growled taking a step forward.

Won from who? Jumping up I strode over to the man. Taking him by the neck I slammed him into the wall. It was then I smelled him. He's a werewolf.

"Who did you get this cave from?" I roared tightening my grip.

He was clawing at me trying to escape but I was to strong. I've always been stronger than others, it's weird. Finally deciding I wasn't going to give up he stopped fighting and started whimpering.

"From a cat family a week ago! I didn't hurt them they just packed up and left. I don't know where they are! Please don't hurt me." He yelled.

Hissing profanities I choked him until he blacked out, not killing him. Ignoring the pain from my bullet wound I started running through the woods. Searching for my family. They can't be gone their all I know and love. I can sense lane following me. I feel lucky to have him. He's let me deal with my emotions without forcing me to talk about them. He hasn't interfered at all even with me running through the forest at random. He understands I just need to be with myself to get through this. Thinking logically I circled back around with lane silently on my tail. They would probably follow the river since that's our water source. Than they would look for a territory without wolves on the way. So all I had to do was follow the river and look for no wolves. I could hear the stream and pushed myself faster. Getting it in my view I followed it. Past the ivy and the oak tree I ran from all I knew into something I hoped would be happy. After an hour I couldn't take the pain and collapsed. My leg is bleeding again and it feels like someone's trying to cut it off. Lane wordlessly fixed the bandages and sat next to me. Putting his arm around me he started humming something. It sounded soothing and like a lullaby.

"Lane?" I asked getting his attention.

"Yes alley-cat?" He replied making me feel warm and fuzzy.

"I love you." I said realizing just how much i loved him already. Even though I've only a known him for a couple days i felt like he's a part of my world now and ill never let go. Grabbing his hand in mine I made a silent prayer to let me keep hm. He squeezed my hand gently and whispered back.

"I love you to."

"Where's your family?" I asked wondering why he was alone. His body felt rigid for a moment before relaxing.

"You dont have to tell me if you don't want to." I said quickly hoping I didn't upset him.

"No it's ok. My family died from a wolf attack when I was ten. I've been on the run ever since." I stayed quit thinking about what he said.

My poor angel. Crawling onto his lap I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. He hugged me back gently. We both cuddled up into a tree and drifted off with the sounds of the forest night music.

---------------------------------

Waking up I realized it was about noon. We had slept in. Getting up I felt cold and uncomfortable. Looking around I couldn't find lane. Where is he? Jumping down I walked around trying to find him. He was nowhere to be seen. Panic started to bloom inside of me. What if wolves got him? But if wolves took him I would of been taken as well. Is he just getting some fresh air? No he would of stayed closer to the tree. I was in full blown panic attack. I was hyperventilating and there was a pounding in my head. I almost had a heart attack when I felt arms being wrapped around me. Smelling his scent I turned around and hugged him. Burrowing my face in his neck I took deep breaths of his scent. It instantly calmed me. He chuckled and just petted my head and scratched behind my ears. I started purring in delight. Reaching up I scratched behind his ears as well. His purr is the sexiest thing. It's very low and growl like. I pulled away slightly and stared at him. If I lost him I might die.

"I was scared you disappeared forever." I choked out looking at him fearfully.

"I'll never leave you!" He said. And I believed him
