Return To The Forest

It was the next day and Gena had to return like she promised Falcon; but she had a problem: Cassie was in the car with her!
"Now remember what I said Cassie…stay in the car and don't go anywhere!"

"Alright already, Gena! You told me this about 700 times! I am not going to go anywhere…relax!" Cassie laughed. She then put on her headphones and closed her eyes.

Gena parked the car and walked slowly into the woods. Falcon was there waiting for her and two walked off to talk.

In the meantime, Cassie was listening to her music when she heard a loud thump on the car! She was staring right in the face of the blue foxtant. His blue bangs nearly covered his sapphire eyes, but he quickly brushed them out of his face and his ears perked up playfully as he saw Cassie look at him. He started speaking in another language, but Cassie just stared at him…her eyes as wide as plates. He looked confused for a moment, but then laughed at Cassie's expression! That is…until Cassie screamed when the red foxtant jumped on the hood of the car too!

"Shhh…don't scream, human!" The blue one mentioned as he moved quickly to the passenger car door and started using his claws to pry his way in.

"GENA! GENA! HELP! MONSTERS! GENA HELP ME!" Cassie yelled as she tried to move to the driver's side, but the red foxtant blocked that exit as he just grinned at her with a toothy smile. Before Cassie could think, the blue one made it inside the car and grabbed her and pulled her outside! Cassie struggled against him, but he only laughed as if he was enjoying her struggle. She gave a large yank and fell straight on her bottom. The two foxtants held their stomachs and laughed, this made Cassie more angry than scared and she started stomping back towards the car. Even a 12 year old understands blatant disrespect. The two foxtants were laughing so hard that they barely noticed her angrily walking away. When she reached the car and locked the doors, she again saw them tapping on the glass. However, their expressions changed when they saw the anger and tears welling up in her eyes. They both were filled with guilt and regret for laughing at her.

"Hey…we didn't mean to make you angry, human. We were just having fun!" The blue one said as he lay on his stomach on the hood of the car. "Look at me."

Cassie wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. She angrily wiped her tears away from her face and looked away. She heard him whimper and scratch on the glass. Just then both of them started picking the locks of the car. This time, the red one gently pulled her out and laid her on the grass. He sat in front of her and gently used his clawed hand to lift her chin up to look into his red eyes.

"Apologies, young one…we do not have much experience with humans, especially the delicate younger ones. We did not mean to upset you. Please forgive us; we won't harm you," he cooed to her. His voice sounded smooth and strong, whereas the blue one's sounded more youthful and not as deep. Then, he nuzzled his nose into her cheek and then her neck; in their culture it was a way to earn trust. He simultaneously slowly switched his tail between her fingers, letting her touch it; it was a sign that he also trusted her. She giggled at his soft and calming gestures; occasionally letting out a yelp when he would gently bite her ear to show his sign of friendship.

"Who are you guys?" She said as she yelped when the red foxtant brushed his tail on her arm and gently bit her again, but not enough to leave a mark; just to tickle her. He just chuckled.

"We are foxtants…a rare species that live in this part of the world. We are not exactly man or beast. My name is Hunt. And this is Bandit," the red one mentioned as he pointed to the blue one who currently had his arms stretched out in front of him and his bum and tail wagging in the air.

"Come on, human! Come and see what our world looks like!" Bandit said as he then started tugging on her shirt sleeve with his teeth.

"Bandit…control yourself!" Hunt said sternly as he crawled protectively in front of Cassie.

"Awww come on Hunt! I don't want her for food! I want to show her our home!"

"What is all the commotion over here!" a deep voice bellowed. All three turned around and saw Falcon walking back with Gena! "What is she doing here?! You promised you would not bring another human to our world!" Falcon yelled as he turned furiously towards Gena and grabbed her by her shoulders.

"I didn't bring her! I told her to wait in the car! I didn't tell her anything about you guys! Honest!" Gena yelled, but Falcon continued to hold her shoulders firmly!

"Let her go! I am the one who came! Leave Gena alone!" Cassie yelled as she ran and pushed Falcon off of her and stood protectively in front of Gena. Falcon took a moment to regain his footing, not expecting a sudden outburst from someone so much smaller than him. He glared dangerously at both girls and then let out a roar! Hunt ran in front of the girls!

"Falcon, stop! Bandit and I were the ones who showed ourselves to the younger one! It is not her fault. Leave them alone or else I will be forced to defend them!" Hunt growled and his eyes glowed dangerously.

"So will I!" Bandit replied and he too unsheathed his claws even more and bared his teeth!

Falcon was so angry that he stretched to his battle height (about 7 feet tall) and unsheathed his claws. He let out a mighty roar and Hunt stretched to his battle height and so did Bandit.

"Please don't make us fight you, Falcon!" Bandit said as he let out a snarl.

"It would be most unpleasant for any of us to spill our blood on this field, but if that is what you wish…I am ready…" Hunt growled as he stood in his battle stance.

Just then all three of them heard footsteps running away, and they all turned to see the girls running towards the car. Both of them had tears streaming down their cheeks out of fear. Falcon felt a strong surge of guilt.

"I will settle this with you two later…in the meantime, we must stop them," Falcon said, surprisingly calm after such an outburst. All three took off running after the girls at lightning speed.

"You won't hurt them, will you, Falcon?" Bandit said hopefully. Falcon just smirked and rubbed his head.

"No I will not…I just lost my temper," he turned to Hunt who was running beside them. They each smiled a knowing smile to each other and kept running. Falcon and Hunt were close friends, so Hunt always knew the best way to calm Falcon down if need be.

Gena and Cassie both made it successfully to the car and sped down the road. That didn't stop Falcon. He jumped in front of the car and lifted the front of the car off the ground.

"Stop! Gena, stop! Do not be afraid! Stop your vehicle! We need to speak to you!" Falcon gasped as beads of sweat started forming on his head.

"NO! YOU WANT TO KILL US! PUT THE CAR DOWN FALCON! I AM NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN!"

"I said…stop…your…vehicle!" Falcon snarled as the sweat started falling down his face. Gena started to feel bad…she saw him look at her; his look was a mix of pain, strength, and guilt. She took her foot off the gas.

"GENA! ARE YOU CRAZY! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US!" Cassie screamed! Gena just shushed her to calm her and put her arm around her panicking friend. Falcon put the car down and walked over to her door in long, but fast strides. He motioned for them to open the door. Hesitantly, they both did. Falcon and Hunt gently brought the girls out and stood facing them. Cassie ran to hide behind Gena, but Hunt gently pulled her out and held her shoulders as he started gently licking Cassie's face.

"Cassie…(lick)…there is nothing (lick) to be afraid of. We are not here (lick) to harm you (lick)," Hunt cooed as he pulled her close to him, despite her struggling and squirming. He knew she was trying to get away out of fear and he felt terrible for scaring them! Suddenly, Hunt picked her up and ran off with her, with Bandit behind him. Cassie yelled in fright, but Hunt kept running with her on his shoulder, unaffected by Cassie's squirming. Gena yelped in fright and tried to follow to save her when Falcon grabbed her waist to stop her.

"Let me go! No one is going to hurt Cassie on my watch! Let go of me, Falcon!" Gena screeched!

"Gena, you must calm down! They are only taking her to help her calm down after what she saw. They will not harm her," he said softly in her ear as he gripped her wrists in his other hand.

"And how do I know you won't hurt me!" Gena said defiantly.

Falcon just smirked and pressed a nerve on her neck which made her fall into his arms…she couldn't move, but she could talk.

"FALCON! What are you doing?! Let me go!" Gena said, but his response was a small bite to the other side of her neck which caused her to giggle and yet yelp in surprise.

"Oh great…well now, are you tasting me? I…wait…what are you doing? Falcon (giggle) put me down! Falcon!" Gena laughed as he threw her over his shoulder and ran off into the woods.

guestsurprise's words: Falcon and his clan have the girls! What will happen next?
