Ojwang pulled the straps of his new neon green backpack closer to his chest. He focused on the suspension, the sound of his water bottle inside plopping with every step, the faint smell of the recently purchased polyester... trying to use every sense of his to divert away from the spectral, grievous semblance of Koda following him down the sidewalk.
The young boy tactfully peered over his shoulder, pretending to watch a car go by to get a quick glimpse of the hooded figure keeping a wary eye on him and their usual busy surroundings on the walk to school.
Ojwang bit down on his lip as Koda kept his gaze low and tentatively observed the boy with those dangerous feline eyes. It was the same threat seen within him late last night...bare of clothes... and his amber-toned skin drenched in dirt and dry crimson blood.
"Koda... Koda... What happened?... are you okay?"
His mother was brave to be asking the stoic young man. The only answer she ever received was that animalistic glare of his golden eyes so broad in a variety of emotions, a certain weakness pulling through the rest, it told her a story that Ojwang couldn't understand. Then without any hesitation at all, his mother once again took Koda into their home and got a hot bath running for him.
Ojwang had no doubt Koda knew of the new apprehension he had to be around him after appearing the way he did last night. The boy secluded himself to his thoughts and didn't lead himself to talk freely to him at all this morning with his mother's words replaying in his mind.
Although as confusing as they were...it did give him some sense of clarity in his own emotions.
"Mama...he killed them...he can't stay here."
"My boy, is that what your mind tells you?"
"Yes mama, he...he might hurt us."
"But your gut tells you otherwise, doesn't it boy?"
"...I don't understand it...I feel he is good. But he killed them..."
"When it comes to the animal world, the predator will tell you if they want to kill you by changing the way you feel. It's that feeling in your gut...humans have learned to block out gut instinct, but it's always right my boy. If he wanted to hurt us, he would have told us by triggering that feeling within us."
The boy eased himself to a stop, pressing the button of the traffic light and glanced up ahead of the road to see Heathshire Academy. For the first time in a while, he felt safer to soon leave Koda's side, he felt like he could deal with bullies over dealing with the fact his feline friend was now a murderer.
Ojwang's body shivered when of the hybrid in question silently appeared by his side and he tightened the grip on the straps of his backpack.
The heavy suburban traffic of the morning began to slow, then stopped completely in time for the crossing. The two crossed the road silently, Koda keeping a cautious gaze on the traffic while Ojwang looked towards the school that becomes clearer in the distance.
Distracted by the sight of the open gates of the prestigious school, Ojwang had caught himself on the curb and started to tumble down to the concrete. But in a swift movement, Koda had caught onto his backpack with one hand and caught the boy from his fall. Ojwang released a heavy sigh of relief, looking at how close he got from landing face-first on the concrete.
...If he wanted to hurt us, he would have told us already...
Koda surveyed Ojwang, inspecting the boy's manner as he could hear his heartbeat rapidly sped up with the scare. When seeing Koda was okay, he then finally paced ahead, waiting for the boy to catch up. But Ojwang held still, immersed in the memory of the first time he saw the Hybrid.
