The Wolf's Heart Of Change

Chapter 5 - Rest, play and worry

Freddy was quite cross with Roxanne. She had left without telling him where she was going or what time she'd be back, and she wasn't answering her phone. He was going to stay up all night by the front door to scold her when she did actually get back, but Chica convinced him otherwise, saying that his own health was just as important. So reluctantly, he went to bed, waking up early the next morning and going right back to the front door to wait.

Monty: "What is the point of waiting to tell her off? She's not going to care one bit."

Chica: "I know, but she should have told us that she was going."

Monty: "She'll be fine. I expect she with 'him' in that tiny hole that I could barely fit in."

Chica: "Say what now?"

Monty: "She'll probably be 'him' that 'cave' that's all."

Chica: "Oh, I thought you meant something else."

Monty: "I didn't say they weren't getting down and dirty now, did I."

Chica: "They don't even know each other that well."

Monty: "Doesn't stop people from getting it on."

Chica: "I suppose that is true. Now I've got to get that image out of my head, god dammit."

Monty: "Heh, not my problem."

Chica: "Hmmph."

Roxy was waking up. 'He' was still asleep, just about. Roxy just relaxed and waited. She thought about turning her phone on but decided that the inevitable thirty missed call notifications were not worth it.

'Him': "hmmMMMMMMMmm"

Roxy: "Morning sleepy head."

'Him': "Huh? Oh, hey Roxy. What you doing here?"

Roxy: "I just wanted to chill with you. That's okay, right?"

'Him': "Yea, it's fine. I'm sorry I can't get you anything to eat. I don't have anything left."

Roxy: "Is that why you said you were at the limit?"

'Him': "Yes. I can't show my face anywhere without being checked and then chased out."

Roxy: "Don't worry about it. I'm not hungry anyway."

Roxanne's stomach rumbled, giving her away.

'Him': "Something tells me otherwise. I can't quite put my finger on what."

Roxy: "Alright, I am hungry, but I can go without for a while."

'Him': "Why don't you get something from the pizzaplex?"

Roxy: "Freddy may be waiting for me to come back."

'Him': "You didn't tell him you were coming here, did you?"

Roxy: "It may have slipped my mind."

'Him': "Mhmm. So how many missed calls do you think you have?"

Roxy: "Over twenty-five for sure."

'Him': "Bit excessive. I should think two would suffice."

Roxy: "You tell him that."

They spent the day running around in the woods, playing around and in the evening just talking quietly to each other. Roxanne stayed with 'him' in the cave for another night, resting peacefully.

Freddy was now very cross and starting to get worried. Once again, opting to sit and wait by the front door.
