To Capture a Heart

Chapter 9

I woke up to find nobody here. I looked around confused, trying to find anybody that might still be here. Nobody was in sight. I jumped down from the bed and walked out the room, and towards the stairs, looking around, searching for anyone, anyone at all. Once i walked down the stairs i walked straight into the living room. "H-Hello..? Is anyone here..?" i asked nervously, afraid that they went somewhere and left without me. I walked into the kitchen and it was pitch black. My eyes didn't adjust well to darkness. As I walked farther into the room and suddenly the lights turned on. I jumped back, startled. I looked around and saw Brenwen looking at me. "I'm terribly sorry, sweet pea, I was just working on one of a potion, I've called it Phial of Teleportation," she came up to me and patted my head, attemping to comfort me, which was a success. "I'm guessing the potion is for teleportation?" i chuckled. She smiled and nodded. I looked around trying to find the others before turning back to Brenwen. "Where's Cori and Teno?" i asked, a worried tone in my voice. She smiled down at me in a reassuring way. "Him and Tantomile went to go hunting, I asked why he didn't wake you and take you with him, he just said he didn't thinking you'd want to go out hunting because you're so pure hearted and that you wouldn't harm a fly," she chuckled a little and continued, "I can really tell he loves you, I remember him saying that he didn't have any interest in having a mate, that he was capable of taking care of himself. But you have completely changed him, he is madly in love with you, he even had second thoughts on going out tonight, he didn't want to leave you on your own," she had a warm smile on her face as she went back to making her potion.

I was super shocked. Did I really change him that much? Is that why everyone was shocked when I became his mate? Wow... 

I stayed in the kitchen laying on the counter, I at least wanted some company until Cori got back. I restedmy eyes as Brenwen carried on working on her potion. A few minutes had passed, 50 minutes to be exact, Cori and Tanto had come back from hunting. I opened my eyes and looked towards the window they entered from. I immediately got up and jumped over to the other counter, running up to Cori and nuzzling my head under his chin. "I missed you," I smiled. He smiled back and nuzzled his chin on the top of my head, "I missed you too," I then looked at Tanto and nuzzled my head on hers, greeting her too.

After we had breakfast we went into the living room, sitting on the sofa. I was sat in between Cori and Tanto, Tanto leaning against me while i leaned against Cori. Brenwen had put the TV on for us, a horror movie had come on. Normally my old owner refused to watch horrors, she was terrified of them, so I've never had a chance to actually watch a horror movie. There were a few jumpscares which caused me to squeak a little but me and Tanto would just laugh it off, whenever I got scared he would nuzzle his chin on my head, reminding me that there is nothing to fear and that he is here for me, that immediately calmed me down.

After the horror went off it was time for dinner, we all made our way to the kitchen, waiting for Brenwen to finish with our food, I then remembered that he and Tanto went out hunting. "So did you go hunting?" I asked, he seemed to be confused at first and then remembered. "Ah, yes. Me and Tanto normally go out hunting at night, we thought we'd go out while you were still asleep," I smiled and nodded.

What Y/N didn't know was that Cori was lying.

Brenwen had finished our dinner and we ate it within a few seconds, immediately going straight to the living room. I went straight to playing with my toy mouse. Tanto started playing with her now favourite toy, the feather bell at the end of a stick, while Cori just sat on the couch and watched me play with my toy. A few  hours passed, we had lunch, supper and then went straight to bed, sleeping soundly. I wonder what there will be in store for tomorrow.
