Kitten

Chapter 6 Kitten

<3 Alexis' POV

As I walk down the path I come to a beautiful little spot with a fire place and a small path that leads deeper into the forest, connecting to another path.

I walk that way and come to a rocky woodland landscape. I look up and see Louis playing on the rocks.

'So this is for him.' I think as I walk through his territory and make my way to a different area. I look around at the dense forest and tall shrubbery.

'This must be mine.' I conclude as I see no one else around. I slowly walk through my territory brushing up against trees as I go. I soon get to a semi-open field and see a huge boulder in the middle. 

I slowly make my way up. Looking around for anyone, but am met with nothing. I get to the top and look over the whole territory and see a faint discoloration a little ways away. 'Must be the border.' As I was pondering I hear a faint shift behind me and turn to see a seething lion behind me. 'Oh shit. This is his territory.' I look around us for a way out when he pounces at me. I quickly move backwards to avoid getting hit. I feel my back paw slip a bit and notice I'm on the edge of the cliff. While I'm distracted he swipes his paw out and leaves deep scratches on my side from my hip to my shoulder. I let out a yelp as I'm knocked over from the force and the pain. As I'm getting my bearings back I feel a mouth of teeth latch onto the back of my neck. Feeling as if I'm about to die, I start to let out a distress noise for help as I feel his jaw tighten around my neck.

AN- About the tigress making a distress call, I wasn't sure if they did or not and I looked it up and got several conflicting answers so I just went with it.

My distress calls turned into yowls of pain when I felt the pressure become too much. As black spots covered my vision I heard something coming. As I drifted off I felt the pressure leave and someone new in front of me. I blinked slowly up to the person in my line of sight and saw Colin. I tried to move when a weight pushed me back down. I saw his lips move but I couldn't hear from the ringing in my ears. I just shut my eyes and waited for the pain to leave or to kill me.

<3 Joseph's POV

I was flying through the sky when I heard a noise below me. I looked down to see myself coming to a clearing with a Boulder in the center. With my enhanced vision I saw Zachary attacking Alexis. 'Oh no.' I quickly turn and speed back to the house where the boys are. I quickly dive and shift mid-air when I get close enough to the ground. I tumble to the ground, but quickly get up and run towards them. Evan stands up quickly and meets me half way. 

"Woah, calm down. What's wrong?" "Z-Zachary is a-attacking Alexis." As I finish my sentence, the rest of them jump out of their seats. "What? Where!" It's Colin who talks this time. "U-um a big boulder in th-the middle of a m-meadow." He quickly nods and suddenly disappears, along with Axel and Derek. I look back to Evan. "Should we go help? Is she gonna be okay?" I start to question as I get more panicked. Evan grabs my face and makes me focus on his eyes. "Calm down Joseph. They'll be okay. We'll wait here for them to get back." He reassures and I nod looking back towards the forest.

<3 Colin's POV

Axel and I appear at the base of the rock and run up to the top where I see Zachary's jaw locked around my kitten's neck. Axel quickly pries Zachary off and I immediately look down at Alexis. She has three huge gashes in the side of her body and the back of her neck is bleeding badly. I crouch down beside her and see her looking at me. She tries to move but I push her down. "No kitten. Don't try to move. I need to heal you." She doesn't show any sign of registering my words. Just closes her eyes.

I hold up my hands and let the fire slip from my hands and into her wounds. As I heal her I can see Axel putting Zachary in a head lock. trying to get him to shift. After a minute of them arguing he shifts back and sits there gasping for air in a pair of shorts. Axel pulls him up and pushes him down the slope. After they leave I look back to my kitten whose wounds are healing at a steady rate. I sigh and sit down beside her.

"Oh kitten. You're just a ball a trouble aren't you?" Her eyes crack open and she looks at me the sits up a bit to see her nearly healed wound. She leans down to lick it and I flick her nose. She makes an irritated grunt and looks at me. "Let it heal. It's doing fine on it's own. I can give you a bath when we get back." She growled at the last statement making me chuckle. We stayed there for a bit so I could make sure she was healed and able to move. 

I moved and sat next to her and she decided to stumble to her feet in an attempt to get away from me. Unfortunately for her she tipped over and fell in my lap. I scooped her up in my arms and laughed. "I knew you liked me sweetheart." She made a growling sound and gave up. I grinned and got up to head home. "Alright let's head back." She immediately tensed and started to struggle. 

"You're not going to see him kitten. He is locked up in Axel's room receiving punishment. I meant it when I said you are safe here. I want you to feel safe here. I want you to feel safe with me." I walked down from the large stone and made my way back to our home on Earth.
