An Unexpected Love

38. Little Wolf

Cerf POV (Lookie! Its the bab! First time doing Cerf POV too -w-)

   I sat next to my master, he lay on his bed his back to me. U worried for him, he hadn't spoken all day. I nuzzled his back and whimpered. I wanted to play with Master. He jolted up and looked at me, "W-What's wrong Sae!? Are yy-you hurt!?" He blurted, grabbing onto my shoulders. I tensed and shook my head. I didn't expect Master to react like that...

   I sat cowering in the corner of the living while Father was cursing at mother again. I heard Father continue to scream, "WHY DO YOU INSIST ON KEEPING THAT BRAT!?!? HE' USELESS!! SCARED OF HIS OWN SHADOW!!! THE BOY CAN'T EVEN SPEAK!!" My wolf father towered over my mother's small skeletal frame. I started crying. 'Don't hurt her again.' I silently pleaded. U heard a scream and I sprinted into the living area where my parents were. Mother lag on the ground, glass buried into her skull, tears mixed with blood as both fell down her face. She started to cough and her eye lights went out. So did her soul. Her lifeless body dropped to the ground and Father gave me and terrifying glare. My knees turned to jelly and I fell onto the ground. I screamed, hoping someone would hear and my father stood over my very small body, I barely came up to his calf. He could easily crush me.

   Just then Sir Muffin burst through to the door, my heart fluttered as I sprinted to my mentor and hiding behind him. I heard him mumble looking to Mother then back to Father, his face twisting into a threatening glare. I whimpered. "How could you treat your own family- your own SON like this? No wonder the wolf's scared of everything!" He shouted, pinning Father against the wall, hatred in his eyes. I felt a pair of arms pick me up, I shrieked and kicked, desperate to escape. "Ssh, I won't harm you." Whoever it was began to cradle me. I looked up into their mismatch eyes, shaking. They smiled kindly at me. I looked back at Sir Muffin, he had Father in chains. "You have broken the law, and will be charged with murder and child abuse."  Muffin spoke as he escorted Father out of our house and into a wagon. My heart raised at the thought of being away from Father. It seemed like a dream come true.

    The person who was holding me pushed my head against their chest. I'm so small, they're at least a good six inches shorter than Sir Muffin who's 5'8" and I'm the size of a baby to them. I'll never be a guardian like the rest of my species, I'm too small and weak. 

{Flashback end}

   I stared blankly at Master, shaking as tears rimmed my eyes. "C-Cerf!? I'm sorry! D-did I scare you? Dd-don't cry! Please!" I snuggled into Master's chest. I brought my hand to my forehead and drug down to the tip my nose spun my hand around. I then made a gesture like someone was pulling a leash attached to my neck, "N-no needs to be sorry. And h-how many times have I told yy-you to just call me Plume?" I made the same gestures again and he just giggled, snuggling me. I yipped and curled up in his lap like a little puppy.

- A few hours later-

   I wander outside in the forest. Not far from the castle though. I feel something jab itself into my hand. I hiss in pain and yank my paw off the ground, a... Nail? What? I whimpered, how am I to get home. I sigh and use my teeth to rip the nail out of my hand. Yelping in pain as I did so. I use some herbs to take care of the wound and keep walking. I heard soft whispers. I hang my head and keep walking. They just grew louder the more I walked. I stopped, shaking in fear.

   Within seconds I was pinned to the ground, my eyes grew wide at the figure above me.

   Father...

  I squirmed and cried, desperate to get away from the source of my torment. I felt something is stabbed through my hand. I scream in pain, tears streaming down my face. "I finally got you, bitch!" Father hissed at me, I whimpered and continued to struggle. I didn't care about the pain. I heard a familiar voice scream, "Cerf!!" Father was thrown off of me and other, older guards of the Palace crowd around me, I look to my right and see Muffin down on all fours growling loudly. I yipped and tried to run over to him, but remembered the nail in my hand, yelping in pain and stumbling back. Muffin noticed this and ran over to me, throwing my ontop his back, "Don't worry Cerf, I gotcha." He said, I nuzzled into his ribs and I felt his soul's warmth.

   I sat up on his back, smiling down at the man who had saved four years ago. Something pierced my side and I let out a blood-curdling scream, falling to the ground bleeding heavily as an arrow stuck out of my ribs, if it went in any higher it would have killed me. The launcher of the item was none other than Father...
