Ella & Vlad at the end

#20 - feeling ditched

Sliding the patio door wider Ella noses in. The foreign female pheromones leading directly to the master bedroom has Ella disapprovingly growl. I better not find him alive and well, in our bed with another.

Awoken by the sounds of nails on tile floor Ella's bone-chilling growl has Vlad and Filomena's eyes pop open.

Entering the room the wolf spies two pairs of alarmed, beady black bat eyes.

As the duo is huddled together in the bed Ella growls revealing teeth. Vlad! Who the Hell is this? You're sneaking around with? On me.

Unable to hear the thoughts Filomena pulls in her wings knowing she's in danger, "What do I do Vlad?"

Standing between the two females Vlad attempts to keep things calm. "Ella I tried to leave you a note about Filomena here."

The chirping isn't to be heard by the wolf. Able to tell the difference between the two bats Ella glaringly growls at Filomena. Boy what ever you're trying to tell me is shit. Worried for you I've been running for two days and here you are. With another bat.?! In our bed.?! And killed and cooked one of our turkeys. Not to mention the cows and that mansion you two are hiding from me. How long has this been going on?

The length of the last growl unnerves Vladimir, "Fil I don't know what she's actually thinking in there. But here's the two of us in her bed. She's most likely going to lunge. I'll slow her up and you leap for the door."

"Okay." Filomena has a good idea what she's thinking. "I'm sorry Vlad. And sorry, to you Ella. We weren't doing anything but sleeping here."

Seeming like they are conspiring together Ella lunges for Filomena. What did you say?

Filomena leaps up flapping wildly for the door. "Vlad! Help!"

Already on it Vlad hops between the two fluttering his wings in Ella's face. "Easy Ella! Easy! She can help you."

Panicked Fil has trouble finding and getting through the bedroom doorway.

Close to running Vladimir over Ella growls biting onto the scruff of his neck. So that's it? Is it? I can't compete with another bat. I at least deserve the courtesy of knowing. With a quick shake Ella tosses Vlad's bat aside.

Landing on the hallway floor Filomena has to orientate herself. This bitch is mad. I have to get out of here. Feeling the air movement she turns for the patio doors.

Twisting about the wolf springs off the bed spying the scurrying female bat.

Hitting the floor Ella skids on her paws attempting to move faster. The strong vibration felt from the wolf landing on the floor furthers Filomena's scramble for the patio door.

Dinged and dizzy Vladimir chases after Ella. "Hold on Ella!" Damn, another of these times we need to understand each other.

The sliding door not open wide enough to fly out Filomena grasps the door's edge to fling herself outside. Stretching wings outside she springs off the door.

Wanting a piece of that bat Ella lunges wide mouthed for Fil's hind.

Grasping the wolf's wounded tail with his feet, Vlad's tugged forward. Digging his winged nails into her hind legs he holds on. "No Ella! No!

Physically hurt the wolf yelps momentarily halting the pursuit. What the hell Vlad?

Outside Filomena tries to stay in the air and out of reach. "I'm really sorry Ella. I worried I might upset you. Well not quite like this. Trust me it wasn't my intentions. I did and still do hope we can come to accept each other."
