The Taboo

Chapter 1-Gotta' Love the Life

It was a regular day for Buefard, he is walking down the street to get home, carrying a sack of meat he got from town for his family, he sees other dogs eyeing him but he pays them no mind. As he is walking he is disgusted to hear the conversations of other canines, of how bad they hurt a cat or how many they killed, Buefard hates violence. After a long depressing walk he drops the sack he had when he enters the old house, it's been vacant for years, this whole block and more wich is why it's called the dog's town. He looks around then approaches the stairs and yells "Bonefied get Redd I got the food,and please hurry my paws are sore!" He drags the food to a small makeshift table in the kitchen and sits patiently waiting. He hears slow but heavy paws and looks to his right and sees a old blood hound approaching him. "Hey Redd how you feelin'" Redd replies,"Fine..fine thanks for gettin' the food son" Buefard smiles and nuzzles Redd, "No problem Redd." Then they hear a fake gag and look to see a boxer with a glare in his eyes, "Blah blah blah can we eat please I've been waitin' for hours." Redd rolls his eyes and nods his head and they eat in silence and listen to the commotion outside of dogs fighting cats and screams of pain...just a normal day. After they eat Bonefied gets up bumps Buefard then says " I'm going out again I'll be back tommorow." Redd looked down after he left and sighed heavily "At least your not like him Buefard, I'm gonna take a nap after that I'll take you to go see a old friend of mine on the other side of town." Buefard replied,"ok redd enjoy your nap." Redd smiles then licks Buefard's head then leaves upstairs to rest. Buefard goes to a window and just stares outside thinking about random things like Redd,Bonefied and where Redd was taking him, but he knew he didn't have to be scared because he trusted Redd with is life. He layed his head on his paws then shut his eyes and drifted off to sleep, wondering what would happen next time he awoke.

Buefard awoke to the noise of Redd's voice saying "Wake up son, it's time to go." With no hesitaion Buefard jumped up and ran to Redd, they said their good evenings then took off to Redd's destinantion. While walking Bufard noticed they were headed very close to the border to the cat's side of the town, "Hey Redd where are we going, I thought you said we were visiting a friend?" Redd smiled then replied,"We are Buefard, he is a cat, he lives just up this road on the border so anyone can go in." Buefard nodded and they continued on. Soon enough they were at the front of a building that had a sign that read "WildStyle" Buefard was confused as he had never been to a building that looked like this. Redd entered first then Buefard who was on high alert, then he heard music from a piano, he looked at Redd worridly "Umm Redd that's music,does that mean humans are in there?" Redd had a childish grin on his old face but said nothing then went more in the room and approached the piano. "Hey Davis!" he yelled,Buefard was stuned to see the man behind the piano was not a man, he was a siamese cat. The cat turned his head in their direction, "Well hey Old Redd I know that sweet old voice anywhere, how ya doin'?" Redd was about to answer but Davis sniffed the air and said"Who's that with you I never smelled him here before?"Redd replied"This is my son Buefard, I hope it's ok I brought him here." Davis only smiled and explained to Buefard that Davis is blind and he is as old as Redd,Davis asked them if they were thirsty and they said yes,a couple of seconds later two bowls of water were on their table,Buefard was startled,then Davis said"You see boy in my condition I need help so Don hides and does chores for me, don't worry he'll reveal himself to you when he is comfortable around you, right Don?" they hear a soft"Ye..Yeah ." Davis smiled, and he and Redd continued idle chat while Bufard was looking around the old jazz heard a noise and saw a white cat and a normal looking short haired cat come in through a back door,the cats ran to Davis when they saw Buefard bt Davis explained everything, he told Buefard " This is Carya and Fiena they are like my daughters,girls go keep him company while Redd and I finish up." The white cat Carya spoke"Ok sir." The three of them all sat down at a table and inroduced themselves accordingly,then talked about different things,but Buefard couldn't stop staring at Fiena he noticed the thoughts in his head,"Boy she looks nice,a basic breed but theres something about her that speaks to me.I really love her beutiful green eyes and pretty cream colored fur,I wonder what it would be like to cuddle with...wait I can't think like that I just met her besides she's a cat,what's wrong with me?" he snapped out of it,then he told a joke, they laughed but Fiena had thoughts of her own,"He's funny and kinda cute,hmm he has a nice smile and muzzle I wonder what his muzzle tastes like...WAIT what am I thinking? He's a dog, what's wrong with me?" They continued to talk until Red called them, while walking throught the doorway Fiena and Buefard brushed sides, they kept walking but they each had a small smile on their faces. Redd concluded that the buisness was done and told Buefard to say goodbye, he did but when he got to Fiena he stammered,"Umm bye F-Fie-Fiena I'll see you around ok." she gently smiled at him and subtly placed her paw on his real quick then said goodbye. When Redd and Buefard they got ready for bed when Buefard asked him if they were going again Redd replied" We will but you can go alone, Davis can be trusted I'm sure him and his daughters wouldn't mind the company." Buefard smiled and was determined to talk to Fiena correctly,then he thought it would be great to be firiends or more but he realized either way, he's still a dog and her a cat so he would be ridiculed or beaten if anyone found out, he thought to himself "It's a strectch but she seems so nice,she's worth all the pain I might go through."He went to his bedroom and lied down then closed his eyes then thought "Man, tommorow is gonna' be fun." then he went to sleep exited to meet Fiea again.

The next morning Buefard ate all his breakfast really fast and was waiting for Redd to take a nap, Redd smiled and said "Boy you sure wanna leave don't ya?" Buefard nodded then Redd let him leave but said don't be back before was happily walking towards the club but he heard someone singing, he folowed it to a old shak near the club he went in and saw Fiena singing, when she was done singing and he was done being hypnotized by her enchanting voice he cleared his throat and she stared at him in shock, he chuckled and walked next to her, she finaly spoke,"I'm sorry you had to hear that Buefard." He looked at her confsed then said,"Are you kidding, I loved it you have a very nice voice." she blushed then said,"Thanks, not alot of people at the southside like my singing so Davis let's me use this shak."She showed him around the shak and displayed the sunroof in a smaller room, they saw some stars and decided to lie down and watch them, they had the most comfortable silence they have ever had in their lives. They didn't care who would see them or how late it was they were just happy, Buefard noticed her shiver alittle and hoped she wouldn't mind his little action, as they were lieing on their backs he silently and gently reached his arm to her and pulled her so close they felt their pelts rubbing,she was a bit shocked at first but decided not to object and snuggled as close to him as she could describe their feelings at that moment, Buefard felt so good holding her close, and she felt so safe being close to him. She broke the silence with, "This is wrong but.." he finished,"But it feels right." she smiled still unsure about this situation as was he then they stayed in silence,Buefard was ready to leave but his arm was pinned and he saw she was asleep, not wanting to disturb her he went to sleep as well, still trying to figure out why this felt right. The morning after he woke up to see her yawning and he smiled and said good morning to her, she returned it and they stayed snuggled for some time,until they realized they slept there they ran out to find Carya and Davis smiling, Davis said,"Don't worry kids your secrets safe with us." Carya smirked and said,"Soo you lovebirds done cuddleing?" Buefard and Fiena looked shocked then were both stuttering nonsense then quickly left to their homes after uttering goodbyes. Fiena bid farewell to Davis then she and Carya walked to their home in the cat side of the town,Carya broke the silence by asking,"So did you guys mate in their?" To say Fiena looked surprised was a understatment, she replied"N-No Carya we did not it was just cold ok we don't even like each other like that!" Carya just laughed,muttered a "yeah right" then they kept reached a apartment building littered with cats,they entered and went to a big room and saw a bengal cat with perfect posture sitting down and a russian blue sitting on a stool,then the russian blue spoke"Bokka,Carya leave I will speak to her alone." they left without question and he glared at her,she spoke"Don't give me that look Lazar, I was just at a friends house." Lazar jumped from his stool and slapped her hard,then yelled"HOW DARE YOU!" she whimpered,"YOU ARE GONE ALL DAY THEN YOU COME BACK WITH THE SCENT OF A MALE ON YOU!", she quietly spoke,barely a whisper"B-bu-but Lazar I-I was just-"BAM He struck her again then said angrily,"You kow the rules no one touches the females but me you are my property OK!" he leaned over her but she spat on his face and said bitterly"I am no ones property ok Lazar so do what you want you can't break me down." he smirked then said,"That's why your my favorite you are tough, you make me work for it,get out."She growled then went to her room to find Carya their,Carya ran to her and nuzzled her hard then started crying,"Oh Fiena I heard him hit you I'm sorry." Fiena calmed her down then said "Don't worry it's my fault and Lazar is just being mean today don't worry." The day went by fast for Fiena as she was couldn't get the previous night out of her head,When preparing for bed Carya was asleep but Fiena stayed awake for awhile thinking the way her life is isn't a lovable one except for a certain jack russel terrier she met she smiled wished to the stars she would see him again and fell asleep dreaming of him.

Meanwhile after Buefard had left he got home to hear yelling, he entered to see Bonefied and Redd ready to attack each other but Redd stopped and walked towards Buefard,"Where were you I was worried sick!" Buefard flinched at his tone,but replied,"I was coming back from Davis' place when a..umm..female approached me and we hung out and fell asleep watching the stars sir."Redd got a huge smile but then frowned and turned to Bonefied and growled,"You may stay but you may also leave when you want ok."Bonefied scoffed and went upstais to his house was quiet, Buefard found out Bonefied joined the western pack,a dog gang, Redd was furious but allowed him to stay as long as none of the pack came to the house. When night time came he kept thinking of Fiena and how they cuddled, he hoped and hoped he would see her again and his last thought was "Man you gotta' love this life." he then drifted off to sleep.
