Summary: As an omega, Prompto was always afraid of walking through the forest, especially after attacks began occurring on omegas who venture into the forest all alone and helpless. However, Prompto doesn't have much of a choice, not when his grandfather is ill and needs medicine from their village. So, Prompto sets out into the forest, with his basket and bright red cape. But, will Prompto safely reach his village? Or, will he fall victim to the big bad wolf, prowling the forest and searching for helpless, little omegas?

Chapter One

Late at night, Prompto had been awakened to fits of coughing. He had quickly scrambled out of bed, and burst into his grandfather's bedroom. His elderly grandfather was sick, and riddled with sleepless nights of fevers along with bouts of nausea. It was making him quite worried, especially because his grandfather was old and couldn't fight off sicknesses anymore, like healthy and young people could. The thought of his grandfather dying was a possibility now, which was frightening him, and to the point of actually considering venturing out into the forest and buying his grandfather some medicine from a nearby village.

However, Prompto was quite afraid of entering the forest all alone and late at night, especially after attacks have been occuring on omegas who travel through the forest. His grandfather desperately needed medicine, though. He couldn't let his grandfather die, especially because his grandfather is all who he has left. He doesn't have any other family members, just his elderly grandfather.

So, Prompto made his decision and set out into the forest, with his basket and bright red cape. He was nervous about his journey to the neighboring nearby village. They were quite uninviting of outsiders, especially to those that they considered poor.

Yet, Prompto didn't quite consider him and his grandfather poor, not when farming kept them both sheltered and fed. His grandfather also traded with businesses, and earned cash for gambling sometimes. He guessed that the village just considered farming an occupation for commonors. The village is mostly made up of small nobles, after all.

XOXO

Once halfway through the forest, Prompto had heard twigs snapping. He halted and froze, just in time to hear the bushes rustling. He heard the dead, dry leaves moving against each other. It sent shivers down his spine, especially since he knew that the wind couldn't be making such sounds. It could only be made by an animal or person.

Upon gulping in fear, Prompto clutched his basket tightly. He wanted to run away, but he didn't know where to. He was also paralyzed in fear, especially because of the recent attacks occuring on omegas. He started sobbing, then. His tears turning into whimpers when he heard monstrous growls resonating right behind him.

Yet, Prompto moved and started scrambling towards the direction of the village. He was screaming out for help, too. His voice was shrill and sharp. It should emit long distance, then. It's what he hoped for.

After all, Prompto couldn't fight an alpha and certainly not this one. Those monstrous growls belongs to a vicious murderer. It belongs to an alpha who succumbed to his animalistic side, and can't turn back human now. It's just too late for him, especially since he had committed great crimes.

"Someone please help me!"

"Is anyone out there?!"

"Can anyone hear me?!"

XOXO

Fortunately, Prompto's pleas for help had been answered. A beautiful black wolf came to his aid. It leapt at his monstrous pursuer, and managed to knock him down, with his paws scratching and clawing at the monstrous creature's neck.

So, Prompto took the time to get out of the way. He watched from a distance, though. He just couldn't take off, especially without thanking his hero.

Yet, Prompto was getting anxious again. His savior's paw was just bitten by that monstrous atrocity. He grimaced from hearing his hero cry out in pain. He wanted to do something, but what? How can he just interject himself into a fight, especially in a fight between two alphas?

"Please, Gods, I beg of you to keep him safe."

"So, I may thank him for saving me."

XOXO

In due time, Prompto watched the fight finally end. That monstrous creature retreated into the forest, and his hurt hero stood in the forest clearing with an injured paw. That sight alone made him dart towards the injured alpha. He kneeled down before his savior, and stared into his beautiful bright blue eyes. He offered the alpha a small smile, just before reaching out to inspect his injured paw.

"Thank you for helping me," Prompto murmured, fastening his scarf around the alpha's paw. "My home is not that far away. You can safely recover there."

The alpha just bowed his head, and made Prompto smile again. He could tell that this alpha was young. It couldn't turn back human at the moment, not after fighting and exhausting himself too much.

"Come on, I'll lead the way," Prompto said, timidly walking beside the limping alpha. "You'll be fine, just hang in there for now."

XOXO

Once safe inside his house, Prompto prepared a hot bath for the injured alpha. He was surprised at just how calm and collected this alpha was, especially since most alphas he had met were quite annoying and egotistical. And yet, this one was something else, with his elegant and poised stance. It made him almost second guess the alpha's age.

"Your paw is all bandaged," Prompto said, staring into the alpha's eyes one more time. "Come on, I'll show you to the guest bedroom."

So, Prompto stood and strolled out into the hallway, with the young alpha following right behind him. He opened the bedroom door, then. His guest trotting inside and jumping onto the bed. It made him laugh.

"Let me tuck you in," Prompto said, approaching the wolf, and draping the blankets over him. "Are you comfy enough?"

The young alpha nodded his head and Prompto smiled at him. He reached out and petted the beautiful wolf, then. It made the alpha stiffen and stare at him, with his bright blue eyes wide open and piercing.

"Sorry!" Prompto apologized, withdrawing his hand, and blushing in embarrassment. "Um, I leave you to rest now! But, if you need anything, I'll be downstairs for a bit."

XOXO

Upon leaving the guest bedroom, Prompto sighed and walked to his grandfather's bedroom. He was afraid for his grandfather, especially since he hadn't been able to get medicine for him. He sat down beside his grandfather, then. His eyes watering with teardrops.

"I told you not to wander out into the forest, especially alone!" Cor grumbled, coughing into his handkerchief next. "It's not safe for omegas."

"I know and I'm sorry. But, I just wanted to get you some medicine," Prompto explained, handing his grandfather a glass of water. "I can go in the morning tomorrow."

"No, Prompto!" Cor objected, his forehead sweating from another fever. "I told you. The forest is not safe these days, especially for you."

"I understand, grandpa. But, if you don't get medicine, you'll die!" Prompto sobbed, placing a wet towel on to his grandfather's forehead. "And, I still have the chance to save you."

"Hey, I may be old, but I won't leave Eos so soon," Cor said.

"Will you promise me, grandpa?" Prompto squeaked.

"I promise," Cor mumbled, shutting his old eyes. "You should get some rest. You must be tired, too."

"I am, just a little," Prompto admitted, standing up and walking towards the door. "But, if you need anything, just let me know. Goodnight, grandpa."

"Goodnight," Cor said. "And, keep to your word. Do not wander out into the forest ever again, not until it's safe once more."

"Yes, I understand," Prompto sighed. "Sleep well."

"You, too," Cor muttered, before falling asleep again.
