Deucalion P.O.V.

In the morning I woke up to something soft moving in my arms. Wait I was hugging something? I woke up and there I saw an adorable pink fox asleep in my arms. I smiled down at her as I remembered everything that happened last night. She was still asleep so i got up careful not to wake her.

Once I got outside of the tree i rolled up my sleeves and looked at my wrists and sighed. There was dried blood all over them. They were a mess. Then i thought about it. I almost killed myself lastnight. But because of her I didnt. Was that a sign?

My thoughts were interrupted but something soft by my feet. I looked down and saw the girl again. She smiled shyly at me.

"Hey did you sleep well?" I asked her.

She nodded

"You okay now?" She seemed shy around me.

She nodded again.

"I'm Deucalion. What's your name."

She stayed quiet and after a moment in the most angelic, yet pained voice she replied "Roxxii."

I smiled at her. "You wanna talk about what happened last night?"

She nodded yet again.

I sat down and motioned for her to come sit with me.

After she sat next to me she said to me "My best friend wants to rape me. So I ran away."

"Woah. How did you find this out?" I certainly did not expect that.. I dont know why but i had a soft spot for this girl.

"He said i was his girlfriend." She stated as if I should have known.

"You lost me Roxxii."

She sighed "nevermind I don't want to talk about it anymore." I saw tears welling in her eyes. Once again I fent bad for her and held my arms out to hug her. She crawled onto my lap and pressed her furry head against my chest. I gave her a tight hug. I hugged her too tightly and cringed from the pain on my wrists. The pain caused me to pull away and hold my arms.

She looked at me worriedly. "Deucalion are you okay?"

I nodded

She looked skeptical. "Roll up your sleeves."

I sighed and rolled them up revealing to her all my scars and fresh cuts.

She gasped "Deucalion." She said with concern in her voice.

I didnt know what to say, and frankly I didnt care. Once she was safe i planned on finishing the job and killing myself.

"Deucalion. Where did you put my clothes and bracelets i had when i bumped into you?"

"Oh. Uhm. They should be inside the tree."

After those words she walked to the tree and she brought her clothes back with her. She put on the skirt and bra. Not bothering with her crop top or bracelets.

Anyways, after she put them on she shifted to a human and seemed shy but damn was she beautiful. She had a perfect ass, perfect boobs, and her lips were a light pinkish color, probably stained from the red lipstick that lay beside her bracelets.

"Deucalion, normally i don't let ANYONE see me as a human, only my brother and my best fr-er. Um. And Dahvie. I just want to show you something okay?" She said. I noticed she seemed insecure about herself.

"Aight thats fine."

She exposed both of her wrists to me, there were three times the amount of cuts I had and they looked pretty deep.

I leaned forward and held her wrists as she flinched at the touch. She seemed so delicate. I stared at her wrists for a while, then I looked up to her eyes. They were glistening with tears.

She pulled her hands and away then used them to pull up the side of her skirt. She exposed her hip to me and just like her wrists it was cut and scarred. Tears started slowly flowing out of her eyes.

I looked at her body more carefully. I saw cuts all up and down her sides, her stomach, wrists, hip, thighs, shoulders, and ankles. Then something caught my eye. she had old scars around her throat, most looks like they were cuts, others looked like they were from a rope. I also saw another group of old scars, a big "X" on her chest over her heart.

What I did next came out of nowhere. I pulled her in and kissed her. She didn't react, she just leaned back into the kiss. What was I doing? I never acted like this. I never showed any emotion towards anyone. I blew everyone off. This girl brought me out of my shell, i don't know what it was but she just brightened me up.

After we pulled away to breathe I spoke up. "You said you have a brother right?"

She nodded in reply.

"We should find him, im sure hes worried about you."

She nodded once again in agreement. When she stood up she slipped her top on, put on her lipstick and her bracelets.

After that we started walking.

P.O.V. Switch

Roxxii P.O.V.

We started walking, trying to find Jayy and Dahvie. I didnt want to go back I wanted to stay with deucalion. He was like me. Plus he was the same age. Normally i don't let people see me in ANY way but my wolf form. I feel ugly in my human form. At least thats what my dad and ex told me, that I was an ugly little human.

anyways the only reason I showed him my human form is because i wanted him to know i cut too. I trusted him for some reason.

The sun was no longer visible. "Deucalion?" I quietly whispered.

"Yeah Rox?"

I giggled at my new nickname. "I really have to pee."

He laughed "I do too."

After we were done and started walking again. It was cold out and I shivered. Deucalion noticed, so he stopped, took off his sweater and gave it to me.

"Wont you be cold?" I asked

He shrugged

I handed him back his jacket. I didn't want him to be cold.

"Rox wear the jacket." He demanded "Please" he added in as an afterthought.

I looked up at him. His emerald eyes met mine. I saw something in his eyes. Something that made me trust him.. Im not sure what it was.

I put on the jacket and he smiled at me

We walked into the darkness trying to find my small broken pack, knowing their scent, i knew exactly where they were, but I wanted to be with Deucalion.
