Let Me Picture Our Life(Rhys x OC)

Chapter 39

Second person's POV

"You heard it?"
A Gruff with dark green eyes flew as he asked the other company of his who were doing the usual patrolling around their territory. 

"Heard what?"
"I felt like I heard a roar of our kind around the woods..."
"Nah , you think too much there , buddy! There's no way Gruffs would just simply run off our lovely village-"
Before the forest green eyed Gruff finished , a larger , fiercer roar echoed the forest , sending gushes of leaves flying towards the Gruffs. 

"Now , who's laughing now?"
"Alright alright! We will head over to check out alright? Geez some attitude..."
The forest green grumbled under his breath before dashed downwards to land , followed by the dark green one who was still humming with full joy on his victory guess.

The two approached to the cave where appeared to be the source of the sound. With the dark green one nudged forest green by its right front feet , the other one grumbled in annoyance and his company's weakly personality , while have a feet stepped on the ground , forming forest green coloured lightning by his horns before shouted out loud.

"Show yourself! You have been surrounded!"
As the Gruff shouted out loud , a pair of light green eyes shined in the dark before the Gruff walks into the light. On its white fur , there was stains of purple blood as some slowly dripped down from the torn cloth that was hung by his teeth. 

The Gruff roared furiously and it eventually scared the hell out of the two before it had made them set off flying in the skies , even stumbled couple of times by the clouds. Gruff looked at the soonly vanished figures before returned to his hideout in a rushing paces.

"I sincerely apologized!"
"G-Gruff it's alright. You saved me after all."
Rhys raised his hand , claiming that it was alright for him. After all , all Gruff did was just torn part of Rhys's coat and stained it with some cut opened elderberries that was surprisingly found freshly grew up in the humid cave of Gruff's.

Gruff sighed by his earlier actions , seemingly couldn't forgive himself for just shouting straight in Rhys's face. Rhys sighed by his nice attitude , sure he was different than the other Gruffs he encountered earlier. Rhys then stood up from his ground , walking towards the ball of fluff , petting it softly as Gruff jumped a bit before looked at Rhys with his half opened eyes.

"Now Gruff , everything was alright. If you're still feeling bad , I could used your help to find Beast."
Immediately , Gruff jumps up from the ground , sending up a small earthquake eventually , almost letting Rhys loss his dear balance. With the help of Gruff's tail , he was eventually safe from tripping over.

"S-Sorry , but I would help! If that let me feel less guilty! Come on , I know where would she usually be!"
Rhys looked at this hyper excited Gruff and smiled before his mind was startled with Gruff's short talk.

"Right , call me N.B , Gruff was the name of my kind after all."

Rhys's POV

Gru- I mean , N.B , lead me to a place he called , the Sakura Lake , as he claimed that that location was where Beast usually be for copious amounts of times. I was still surprised for the fact N.B knows Beast. Being even more surprised for the fact N.B was 'exiled' by his kind , as he called it.

"N.B?"
"Yeah?"
"Just being curious... Why were you 'exiled' by your kind? I mean , it was fine if you don't tell me."
I said quickly before letting him felt offended as he did mentioned he dislike that experience.

"No , No , it was fine to be spoke out loud anyways..."
N.B said while he have me sat on his back where his winds were folded.

"It was because of a Gruff... A female Gruff..."
