The Newcomer

Part 10: The Descending blade

10:30 am

An orange fox rises from his bed. Blood shot eyes due to the lack of sleep or any sleep at all. Long face due to yesterday's events. His destroyed living room makes all go back again crystal clear, he sighed and left the house. He didn't even changed he's clothes from last night. Walking aimlessly though the town seeing all the wanders the forest has to offer. He wasn't enjoying it though. After 30 minutes he receives a call from Alfred.

" Hey Alfred. Need anything?" Clint said emoting a semi-happy tone.

" Hey buddy I need your help, is really urgent" Alfred said with a determined tone but after that he hung up. Leaving Clint confused.

Upon arrival Clint ran to the back yard and when opening the door...

" SURPRISE!!" Multiple people said.

Clint saw around everyone there. Alfred's mom and dad, miss Payne, Rudy ( the one that helped him ), JJ ( a raccoon teaches him stealth), Dr Anna and his group of friends. With even Marcelo and Cynthia. Astonished he asked:

" what's going on?"

" Well Clint since we don't know when your birthday is we've decided to celebrate the day you came here as it. Happy birthday" said Doctor Anna.

" Can I finally start eating?" Milo asked kinda annoyed.

" ugh. Just go Milo" said Camille kinda angry.

" You all right Camille? You've been rash since this morning" Asked a worried Alfred.

" Yeah sorry my head hurts a bit" she responded.

" You need anything Camille?" Asked Marcelo in a kind of soft tone.

" No I'm fine Marcelo, thanks" she said with a smile. She saw Clint approach to her " I'll go to the bathroom" she said and walked fast out of there.

Alfred noticed this and kept in his mind, already starting to make theories. Milo , who was still eating looked at Clint's saddened face but in a second it changed to happiness and looked at Milo.

" hey dude leave some for me" he said approaching.

The party was a casual one. Soon all town arrived and the party. Clint ate and hung out with Alfred and Milo. Soon he was approached by Cynthia.

" Eh hey Cynthia. Thanks for coming" he said a bit stranged but thankful.

" Oh it was nothing. I even invited more people. They'll come later though" she said with a grin.

" Um ok-"

" Enjoy this while it last Clint." She whispered in his ear. She walked off blending in the crowd.

Clint was starting to feel like there was something watching him. All his moves, all his likes. Everything. Camille came to he's mind again.

He searched though the party and after 30 mins of wonder he found her leaving with Marcelo.

Anger makes him boil and he is ready to kick Marcelo's ass but a hand on his shoulder stops him. Clint turns and all he sees is Milo.

" She still cares" the skunk said.

" What?" Clint said digesting the information.

" She still loves you. She just needs so time" he said plainly.

" You... you know about..." the Fox said

" I know more than you think. Because..." he did a pause. " We dated a year ago" Milo said a bit saddened.

Clint stayed silent and waited for the skunk to continue. Trying to pice this together.

" We liked each other. But we were to afraid to confess, but one day we did and we were happy. We dated secretly for a while. But we were too scared of being found. So we decided to stop. It was kinda painful at first but I realized that she was happy. That's all that worth to me. Even if it's not with me. But I know she's in good hands with ya. Instead of... Marcelo" he said kinda disgusted at the end.
