Purple Eyed Wizard

Chapter 25 The Real Truth

Something stood on me and nuzzled my face. It was heavy. My cheek was covered with something wet. A snout nudged my arm. This can't be Mr Whiskerz, this's big. I opened my eyes that met fluffy red fur.

"Alex?" I said sleepily.

'Yeah. Come on get up'

"But it's Sunday" I whined "leave me to dream". I wrapped my arms around his neck forcing him to lie down beside me and I closed my eyes again.

He stayed in my arms and didn't bother to shake them off.

Salem's POV

I woke up at 10am. That's odd, where's Alex?

I jumped out of my bunk and saw Violet cuddling with wolfy Alex in bed. That's why he didn't wake us up.

"Hey". I shook her arm and patted her hair. I couldn't resist the urge to run my fingers through her long silky black hair. Then I messed her hair cause I don't want her to think I'm creepy.

"What?" She groaned sleepily.

"I hate to interrupt your moment but it's time for school"

"WHAT?!" She jumped then winced when she hit her forehead on the top bunk.

I laughed "joking! You just overslept. It's 10"

"Meany! I thought I slept till Monday" she hit me with the pillow playfully.

Violet turned to the wolf and gasped "really?!". She looked at me and opened her arms "come'er! It's your birthday?! I feel bad I didn't know before".

I accepted here hug "nah it's okay. I lost interest in birthday parties like a year ago".

Tara came in and gave me a hug too "happy birthday big bro"

She broke the hug. "Thank you sis!" I smiled but that smile faded when I saw a tear roll down her cheek "w-why are you crying?" I pulled her into a tighter hug.

"I was busy with my own birthdays and forgot that you're growing up too. I didn't realise you're turning 18. And soon you're gunna move out and get married. You know I would be happy for you, b-but" more tears escaped her eyes "I don't want you to leave!"

Tara buried her face in my chest and I tightened my arms around her. I looked over at Violet who was tearing up too and hugging human Alex.

"Hey, moving out does not mean you won't see me again. I'm still gunna look out for you and be by your side when you need me" I said in a soft voice.

"You know, it sucks cause just like yesterday we were playing princesses and dressing up dolls, but now we're all grown up. I don't want us to grow up" she cried more.

"This is life. Everything changes by time and everything becomes memories. But we have to grab life by the tit balls and say.....you ain't winning!!" I patted her shoulders.

She laughed slightly.

"And I may be 18, but this won't stop me from putting a dress on and play make belief with you" I continued.

She giggled "that's disturbing...but sweet".

"Awww" Violet and Alex said in union.

"So let's have a good time now and not worry about something that hasn't even happened yet".

She nodded and I wiped her tear with my thumb. "I love you"

"I love you too, little one".

We walked down and ate breakfast. James was with us too. Did he sleep here? I don't care actually.
