An Unexpected Love

53. Limp

((So uh... Im gonna use thsi chapter to practice writing in the Homestuck style since im working on a Homestuck fic))

     You sat in the cold dark of your room. Limp. The air was cold, you laid down and curled up tightly. Your tail curling on top of you like a make shift blanket as you desperately clinng to any form of warmth you could get. 

   The door squeeked open and you saw the familiar form of Fourrure. You didn't budget as he picked you up, assuming you were asleep or zoned out. You unintentionally curled against him, his soul emmiting a much needed warmth for your chattering bones. He squeazed you tightly, "Jeez, Kid. You're cold as ice!" He exclaimed, you started whimpering like a sick puppy as you felt him place you down, that small sliver of warmth leaving your already freezing body. But it wasn't to last long as you were set in someone's lap, blankets wrapped around you as you were lovingly cuddled. You started to let out small, content growls, showing you appreciated the attention. You were held tighter. You let your sore eyes flutter open as you looked up to see Fray, your fathers current mate. "You warming up, Darlin'?" She asked, her southern accent showing threw. You nod and curl against her.

   A good 45 minutes to an hour passed and sadly, the snuggle came to an end. You were led to the usual dark room with only one chair. You sat down obediently and let your tail slide comfortably threw the slit in the back that separates the bottom from the back of the chair. It swayed gently.

    You watched as Fourrure walked around and did different things. He walked behind you and you felt something extremely cold on your tail, "What is that!?" You blrut as you tense up, a shiver going down your spine. "Ice." He states simply, "W-why?" Your voice cracked, signaling you were scared. "To numb your tail." You gulp. Sure enough, soon your tails entirely numb and you can't even move it.

   It wasn't until he was,sawing threw the bone you knew he was even going it. You shrieked and squirmed, "Stop! Stop! STOP!" You begged, tears beginning to pile up. It wasn't until you realized Voilvour was back there helping him with the bleeding that you realized this was another of their sick torture methods. You won't break. Not this time. You say there and took the pain, they had chopped off your tail and it hurt like all hell, but you stood your ground. Not long after they had finished you passed out, the blood lose too heavy for your small frame.

   They bandaged up your tail and carried you back to Fray, who wrapped you up in blankets and held you, your face covered in tears and your throat aching from the intense screaming. You woke back up and looked at her with pleading eyes, you could see the sympathy in her eyes as the whimpers you were making grew louder, she held you tighter, "Im sorry, Esprit. It had to be dons. I know it hurts." She starts scratching your ears and craddling you just like Momma used to before she.... Ya know, died.

   You soon fell into the first peaceful sleep you had in ages, the affection and attention she was giving you was adored by your hurt and depressed self. But you wanted your home. To see Jasper and to lay with him. But it may never happen again. Sadly.

   The next few weeks were hell, it was harder to walk without your tail to help balance you. Not to mentally how much it hurt. Abd the cold, oh, the cold. It was unbearable, while all the adults were huddled together and sleeping peacefully in each others warmth, you were trapped in your cell, alone, not even a furry tail to keep you warm.

   It was a huge wake up call to Cassé when he came to get you and you were so sick you couldn't even stand up. He scooped you into his arms, feeling how ice cold you were, you were violently shivering too. It was clear all you need was some warmth. He quickly ran to his room where Amour and Fray lay asleep, he set you between them, Amour lazily looked at your father, "Keep him warm for me." Cassé said simply before rushing off. Both adults held you, keeping you close and in as much heat as possible. You started growling contently miss with excited pants as your nub of a tail wagged furiously. It felt so nice to not freeze for the first time in weeks! You had attention! You cuddled into them and adored this affection as Amour practically laid on to of you in a desperate attempt to make you warmer. You hicupped, then sneezed like a kitten, making both awe and hold you tighter. This was nice. Fray and Amour weren't rouges like the rest of the people here, they were siblings from a wild wolf pack.

   Soon Cassé came back and climbed into your little snuggled fest, it was a wolf cub with the alpha, beta and alpha's mate all making sure to test the poor puppy with love, for, now all four you were laying like dogs, you in the middle with the three adults curled around you Protectively.

   You fell into a warm slumber, making soft coos and hums as you moved your head occasionally. But this happiness wasn't mean to last.

   As soon as you were well again they stopped babying you, you were taken to that same room they always took you to to get more information from you. The laid you down in the floor and tied down you arm and legs. What are they doing? 

   The placed a metal bit in your mouth, "Bite down. And DON'T let go." You could hear the grin in Fourure's voice. Now you were terrified.

   You obediently kept a tight grip on the metal bit but it was hard, something was pulling it away from your mouth. After two hours you snapped and let go. Bad idea! BAD IDEA!

  A guillotine blade came crashing down onto your leg. You were blindfolded so the intense pain was amplified that your left leg came clean off. And the scream... That was hy far the loudest, most painful, most tear filled scream you'd ever emitted. Your nody went limp, but you didn't pass out. You were in a state of shock as they snagged your now amputated leg. Why did they do that?

   At this point you wanted nothing more then sweet sweet release of death. Let it end. Please, let it all end.

----> Esprit, be the worried new queen. <----

    You heard a loud scream while looking for Esprit, something pulled you toward it, so, Muffin and you went running. It left you to an old shack, pretty decently sized. You immediately rushed in, the hope that your best friend ((oooh he got best friendzoned *wince* put some ice on that one Spritz, that's gotta hurt!)) was in there taking full control was you rushed threw the building without a second thought.

   You slammed open a door to see a figure that looked like Esprit surrounded by rouges, a stump of what used to be a leg being heavily bandaged. Pure horror filled your expression. WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM!? You rushed to your beloved guardian and shoved the other wolves away from him. Hugging him tightly. His arms meakly hugged you, they were all but just resting on your back, "J-Jasper...?" He choked out, his voice hoarse, "Im right here, Spritz. Dont worry. I got you!" You replied, rocking him back and fourth gently. You heard a weak giggle escape him as he started crying of joy. Muffin drug you back to your feet and protected you from attack while you ran fast as you could with Esprit in your arms. The wolf barely lookedvthe same, his usual michevios grin was nowhere to be found and multiple limbs missing. It was clear his arms were dislocated, not mention the fact his tail and left were leg were cut off. You looked behind you to see Muffin quickly gaining on you.

   You made it into the town, all eyes on you as you ran threw. Slamming into the castle, "SOMEONE FUCKING HELP HIM!" You screeched. Everyone was focused on you so fast it would make your head spin. And in the next few minutes Suave was properly handling Esprit's wounds. He put Esprit's army back in place, you could tell they'd been out of socket awhile by the way Esprit somewhat released how to use them. Suave also stopped the bleeding in his leg and made sure both his leg and tail were bandaged correctly.

   It was clear the poor thing was tired and wanted a bit of love. So you poked him up and carried him back to your bed room, laying home in bed and changing into nightwear before crawling in next to him. Holding him close as ever, the soft coo he made as he snuggled close as possible made you heart melt. God, he's adorable. He quickly feel asleep, being the cutest little thing. No one would ever guess he was the biggest trouble maker in the whole castle by the way he looks right now, but he was. And thought he can be a pain in the ass, you still love him like no other, he's Esprit, your guardian, your bestest friend, and most importantly, a kid, just like you. Even though you're queen. and even though he's been put threw a lot of things, you're hoth still children. He needs love, compasion, affection more then the average child, because he's a skele-wolf, and his kind craves to be servents, they crave to serve and do a good job at it. And when you praise them, let them lay with you and snuggle you, they feel like they've succeeded in their duties, like they're a good server to you and that's all they can ask for, because they're a skele-wolf and that's their purpose.

  To be the best damn friends, serventsx and lovers anyone could ever ask for. And Esprit, he sure had been the best friend you could ever ask for.
