Lost kitten (Toredd)

Chapter 19

(OK can I just say... Whatthehell-1k reads????  Gosh I'm so freaking happy rite now thank you so much for reading my trash!!  I really appreciate it!  So as a token of my gratitude... Enjoy this really short chapter -
I'm sorry-  yes I know it should be longer but just read it first my friends)

"Don't you think they should be back by now? "

Matt had ask his black eyed friend after the sun had set.  It was pretty dark but the moonlight helped it. 

Tom tapped his foot impatiently on the grassy surface biting his nails. 

"Tom? "

"Huh? "

"I asked you if you think they should be back... I mean... It's pretty late. " the ginger looked around seeing other creatures turning back to their homes and nests. 

Hmm... It was getting late...  They should be back by now... Oh no.... Don't tell me.... They got caught-

Not today-

Shit

"I... I  t-think they'll be back soon... D-don't worry about it. " he stuttered. 

Just then a fox came up to them and cleared his throat. 

They both turned to him. 

"Ahem... You should know there's a hunter in the forest..."

"Wait what?? It's midnight! Why would they even be out by night?? Are you sure mark...?"

The fox cleared his throat once again. 

"I've scented them three times and I've heard their conversation... They said they were looking for a sort of...  "big foot" at the same time. " he said earning a concern glance from the black eyed man. 

"Big foot? How dumb can these humans get?!?  Why would anyone ever be out in the woods this late.  It's just ridiculous!"

"I know, it's getting kinda overboard right now.  Look you two should get to safety.  I'll return back to my den. " and he sprinted of just like that. 

This was getting out of hand. 

If they get their hands on those two,  who knows what they'll make them do. 

"We have to look for them... Now. " tom spat grabbing something from his pocket.

"Tom wait,  what if they get to you... Or me first instead?? "

"Then we'll just have to be more carefull." 

"Tom. " the ginger grabbed his wrist and pulled him close,  inches away from their faces. 

"If we get caught, it's even worst for them than us.  Imagine how Edd's reaction would be,  he would literally blame this all on tord and himself.  In the end,  they two might get themselves in trouble as well.  At least if they get caught,  we'll be there to save them. " finally he let go of his grasp from his friend and backed away. 

He needed to save them but then if he did,  he would just put them all in danger. 

God,  being a friend is way more complex then it seemed. 

"But... Matt we can't just let them roam around while there's a two leg on the lose. "

"I know I know,  alright we'll make this simple. You watch from above while I take care from below. Don't let the hunters find you,  they have a pretty good sight for humans actually.  So.. Clear? "

"uh - how did you-..... Nevermind. Let's just get going. We'll meet back here by morning. "he chirped before changing back into his original form and taking off leaving the ginger behind. 

Matt sighed softly. 

"Looks like I'm going to be a better target this time. " and with that he trotted of  in his deer form. 

Being a deer may be cool and beautiful , but there are some flaws.... 

Bigger antlers means there's a bigger chance it would get caught by the branches,  as well as being a deer... You're actually an easier target. 

This wasn't exactly supposed to be easy. At least not for Matt. 

He didn't need this right now.

"Hey edd,  don't you think something's a little.... off tonight?" Tord finally broke the silence walking a few steps faster to reach the kits pace.  

The brunette glanced around before nodding. 

"Yeah... It's pretty quiet.. More than usual I guess. " he mumbled moving closer to his lover. 

 The atmosphere only seemed to get more cold each time they progress further. 

"Edd I think we should look around first.. " the wolf quickly grabbed the brunette's hand. It didn't seem right. 

"But Tom and ma-"

"Edd could you forget about Tom and matt for a second.... Somethings not right. "

Edd gave a light shrug before nodding and following him from behind.  Yeah sure something seemed fishy, but wouldn't it better to get back as soon as possible? 

He sighed. He was curious to find out. 

Then there was a rustle. 

"Looks like we found the jackpot."

(OK so like this is the last drama part in this whole story.  When I'm done,  I'll do oneshots of these Babs :)
