Harper's eyes opened slowly. She still felt Hyde's warmth against her. She felt secure in her position until her vision came to. Yanpu was gone.
She unwrapped Hyde's arm from around her and sat up quickly. The mat moved, and Hyde felt it. He opened his eyes, and rubbed them, wondering why Harper was so frantic.
"Yani! He's not here!" Harper crawled on her knees and moved off the mat. Hyde growled.
"That darn kid..." He pulled off the sheet and grabbed his belt.
"He's not here!" Harper ran into Hyde as she tried to run back into the bedroom.
"Relax,"
"Relax?" Harper heaved. "You want me to relax?"
Big mistake. He should've just kept his mouth shut. While Harper began swearing at him, he strolled by her and opened the bathroom door. Yanpu happily ran out, shocking both him and Harper, with a critter in his hands.
It was a canine, with white fur and large pointy ears. Its tail was fluffy and thick. But when Harper saw its face, she let out a horrendous scream and ran away.
"Hey! Wait!" Hyde quickly stepped in to stop Yanpu from chasing her with it.
"Can we keep it?" Yanpu giggled excitedly.
"Get it away!" Harper screeched as if the critter had done something unspeakable to her. Harper backed into the wall, shaking and shivering.
"Get back." Hyde nudged Yanpu back. "She's scared."
"What's wrong?" Yanpu frowned.
Hyde studied her. "I'm not sure." He walked over and bent down on one knee. "You wanna explain what's going on? It's just a—"
"It's a dog!"
"It's not a dog," Hyde rolled his eyes. "It's a Whilfox. Part of the canine family."
"I don't care! It looks like a dog, so take it away!"
"Are you scared of dogs?" Hyde raised a brow. Not even a moment later, it clicked. It was because of her experience 10 years ago when the bloodhounds attacked. She was traumatized after that.
But he didn't think that she should be afraid of all dogs because of that. "He's a pup. He won't hurt you."
"I don't care!"
"You need to take a breath,"
"And you need to get that thing away from here! Take it far away!"
"Alright, so we're doing this my way." Hyde grabbed her and propped Harper up.
"What are you doing!?" She hissed.
"Kid, bring it over," Hyde motioned Yanpu over. Yanpu happily obliged, but his steps were too quick. Harper tried to elbow Hyde to run away, but he held her firmly in place.
"No! Stop! Please!" Harper began to hyperventilate. "AHHHHHHH!"
"Not too fast. Come slowly." Hyde commanded Yanpu. Yanpu took careful steps forward, holding the creature up. He held it near Harper's front. Hyde grabbed her hand and brought it over to the creature.
"Don't do this,"
"It's not going to hurt you, see?" He placed Harper's palms on top of the Whilfox's head gently. Then he began to stroke her hand on it. "He's a puppy."
"I'm gonna throw up." Harper groaned. But she did feel more calm after touching its fur. It was soft and gave her a fuzzy feeling.
"Can I have him?" Yanpu asked.
