Merry Christmas everyone!

This two-shot is loosely based off of Rogue; I do not own Ray, Gold, Shadow, Celeth, Arien, Ice, or Leon. I only own Azurine(Azzy).

Human Gold- he's a slim, tanned white male. His hair is a golden blonde and his eyes are a golden brown. There is a scar over his right eye from a blade that he earned when he was younger. {Snowcrystal of Thunderclan}

Azurine(Azzy)- short white girl with a pale skin tone. She has light, barely noticable freckles covering her arms and face. Her hair is a pale black, almost gray, with really ligth blonde highlights; she has deep blue eyes with tins of violet.

The small middle school of a small town was now out for the day, fith graders, sixth graders, seventh graders, and eighth graders flooding through the front doors of the school. Azzy, a short white girl in the fith grade, was walking with her friend, Ray.

"What do you want to do?" Azzy's voice caused the small boy to look over at her.

"Huh?"

"Do you want to do something?" she asked again, dark eyes bright, as usual. "Like, walk through the forest on the way home?"

Ray looked doubtful. "But if we go that way, it might take us too long and it'll start to get dark, or we'll get lost, or-"

They were now standing at the edge of the parking lot, away from the other students and cars. "Ray," Azzy cut him off. "I know they way, so we wont get lost." she assured him.

"But what if it gets dark?" his voice was quieter now, eyes wide.

"It won't! And don't be scared, because I'll protect you!" she declared in a playfull, heroic voice, giving an attempt to strike a superhero pose but ending up looking silly as her backpack nearly slid off her shoulders.

Ray's eyes brightened some, small laughter erupting from him as he watchd his friend.

"What are you laughing at?" she accused playfully, placing her hands on her hips and squinting at him.

"You," he giggled, icy blue eyes bright with amusment.

Azzy laughed herself before returning to her mock surprised look. "Me?" she echoed. "Your laughing at me?"

"Yeah, you." Ray said, trying to contain his laughter but to no avail.

Azzy made a sound that sounded like a mix of a snort and a laugh, reaching her hand out to playfully swatt his head.

"Hey!" he laughed, pushing her hand away.

"No 'hey's, you laughed at me, so I'm getting my revenge!" she said smugly, poking his side.

Ray let out a laugh, turning to look at her. "That tickles!"

Azzy grinned before poking his side again, causing her friend to laugh again.

. . .

A litte ways away from where Azzy and Ray were walking, there was a collection of hills and meadows, you could say it was like a moor. And just beyond that, was some facility of private property, it was like some kind of armery with a few guards stationed outside.

"Shadow! Gold!" one of the guards called out to the two men, rushing over to them.

"What is it?" Gold asked, breaking his conversation with Shadow.

"There's been two tresspassers spotted outside around the gate- to close to be doing anything good." he told them.

Shadow let out a long sigh, earning a glare from Gold. "We'll go check it out," he told the other guard.

He and Shadow made their way towards the east gate, stopping as the saw two figures in the distance.

The people suddenly disappeared from their sight, supposedly hiding somewhere.

"Hey! Intruders! Show yourselves!" Shadow called, gazing out on the hills.

"Why should we?" came a sassy reply.

Gold pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing. "There's literally no place to hide out here. We know you're there."

"For you maybe," a woman's voice replied. She and the other girl stepped away from their hiding spot, which was a wide, low burrow in the ground.

"I suggest you leave." Gold said coldly.

"Why? I have a girl to feed and I need to hunt. I've been looking for game out here," she gestured with her hand to where the forest met the moors, and Gold could see that there was a few rabbits hopping around over there.

"You aren't allowed to be here." Gold said. "And there are more places for you to hunt outside of private territories." Shadow added.

The small girl looked up to the taller one, tugging at her hand. "Do we have to leave?"

"Yes, I'm afriad we do, honey." she said.

"But I like it here!"

"I know, sweetie, but we have to leave."

"Do we really have to go?" the child was now looking up at the guards.

"Uhhhhh..." Shadow looked over at Gold.

"Yes, if you stay here you could be sent to prision."

The girls eyes showed confusion. "Mama, what happens if you..." she stared but earned a glare from the older woman.

"Come. We're leaving." she guided her girl away, back towards the forest.

. . .

Azzy and Ray were walking side by side through the meadow(not the one close to the facility), Azzy leading her friend through the woods.

Azzy opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by the loud snap of a branch. Ray's eyes widened and he jumped. "Azzy... w-what's that?" he whispered, trying to grab her hand.

She camly held his hand, wanting to assure him that everything would be fine. She looked back at him. "Uhh, I'm not sure, bu-" she was cut off again when a tall, pale woman stepped out from the bushes, causing Ray to nearly jump out of his skin.

"Hello, kids." she said. "Whatare you doing out here?"

When Azzy didn't answer, Ray looked up at her, eyes wide."Uhh... we- we were just.. w-walking home from school..."

The woman blinked. "Why'd you come this way? Do you live out here?"

Ray shook his head, still clutching onto Azzy's hand.

"Well, it's getting dark so you can come back home with me for the night."

Azzy's eyes widened. "Oh, no, it's fine... you don't need to do that..." she mumbled.

"No, you two don't need to be out here this late. It's going to get cold tonight." she said. "Come on!" she gestured with her hand to follow her, leaving the two scared kids with no choice but to do so.

. . .

Soon, they arived at Celeth's house(having exchanged names on the way there). It was small, and looked like a runned down market, the walls cracking, the roof needing to be repaired. But from where they were standing, Azzy could smell soup wafting from inside of the house.

Celeth lead them in, greeting a younger girl who looked about their age that was in what looked like a very small kitchen, stiring the soup with a laddle.

"Hello, Arien. This is Azzy and Ray," Celeth introduced, gesturing towards the kids.

She just nodded at them. Celeth moved along. "You two can stay down here for tonight." she said, opening a creaky door to a staircase leading down. Azzy guessed it was a basement.

"There's a heater down there so it should be warm." Celeth said with a smile. "I'll bring you guys the soup when it's ready." she said before closing the door.

Azzy was speachless. And it looked like Ray wasn't going to say anything, so she walked further down the dark stairs, looking down in the basement.

It was a small room, with cracked stone walls. There was the heater Celeth had mentioned in the far right corner. And just opposite of it was what looked like a makeshift bed. Three blankets and a few pillows. There was a beat up couch right next to the heater.

Azzy lowered her gaze, sighing. "I guess we'll be staying her tonight," she mumbled.

That's the end of part one! I was origanally going to have this up on Christmas Eve, and have the last part up today, but my mom had family over yesterday so I didn't have enough time.

I'll post the last part whenever I finish it, which will hopefully be later today or tomorrow.

Sorry.
