Now, let's get started, shall we?
Chapter 2: Good Memories, Bad Memories
Days like today are always the same to me… Nothing new really happens-it's mostly me and my broken heart with the herd so worried about me. They said I'm getting weaker and weaker every day for not getting enough amount of meals I should have get. But without Diego… I can't get the right amount of meat… I slowly try to eat fruit from Sid, but it's hard for me to get used to. They were mad at Diego for probably ignoring me all the time. He never looks at me in the eye anymore. He gets away from me like I had something contagious. This hurt me more. I thought we cared about each other. I ask the herd why Diego has been acting like this to me and they just simply say he regrets something… Does that mean he regretted to meet me? My heart was shattered-broken into pieces that the saber who once cared about me now doesn't want me anymore… I cry and think about the good memories we had together...especially the day when he called me 'son' and I called him 'dad'...
One night, the moon shines brightly with small dark clouds passing by. The night sky carried the sparkling dots of stars, twinkling like a flame from a distance. The aura of different colors amazed Kyle. He was in awe. He never such beautiful nights that can't get his eyes off of. His brown eyes stare into the darkness of the night, then suddenly a wave of colors swirled freely in the atmosphere. It flied to a distance as Kyle's brown eyes reflected the colorful Northern Lights.
"Wow…" Kyle said in awe with his jaw a bit dropped.
Next to him was an adult orange saber, lying next to the saber cub as they stare upon the Northern Lights. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Kyle happily turned to Diego. "It is! I always wanted to see the Northern Lights up close but I never imagine I will today!"
Diego chuckles. "I thought it would be a surprise...for you…"
"Thank you" Kyle said warmly, then turns back facing back to the aura of lights. "Who showed you this?"
Diego looked at Kyle for a moment, and then, looks at the Northern Lights too. "My father"
Kyle looked at Diego and questions, "Your dad?"
Diego nodded, still staring up at the beautiful night sky with its variety of colors dancing around in the sky. "Yeah, my father used to take to these kind of nights when I was about your age. He always tell me all these stories about how the night sky was made and that every star up in the sky now are every species of animals that are alive today." He explains.
"Wow…" Kyle said, looking at the night sky, trying to count all the small shining dots above him but can't for how many there are. "That's alotta animals, you know"
Diego smiled. "Yeah"
"It must be amazing to have a dad who would tell you all these things," Kyle said, looking at one of the stars, thinking about what Diego said of what his father told him. "I know for sure my parents are out there somewhere…"
Diego stayed silent for moment, thinking what Kyle said. A father? That's probably what Kyle has asked for in his entire life and now...he's going to get one. "Kyle?" Diego called him.
"Yeah?" Kyle replied, turning his head to Diego. Kyle can see in Diego's eyes he had something up in his mind and probably he wanted to tell him right now.
"I need to confess something…" He started, but stops for a second, and then, sighs nervously, starting again. "Kyle, after when we met. We've gotten along pretty fast and we became friends and…" He sighs again. "What I'm trying to say is...since you've wondered about your parents...maybe I can…n-never mind…"
Diego turned away sadly. He never has confessed his feelings to anyone; it was a strange feeling. However, Kyle looked at him in concern. He walks around him and looks at Diego who was facing downward as Kyle tried to look at him in the eye."Diego, are you okay? Is there something you wanna tell me?"
Diego sighed sadly, looking at Kyle, knowing he was young to understand, but he needed to tell what he felt about Kyle. "Yes...but Kyle...I'm just afraid that something might happen to you if I tell you the truth…"
Kyle asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Kyle… Do you? Do you want me to be your dad…? Adopting you as my own son?" Diego asked a bit nervously.
Kyle looked at Diego surprised. He wasn't believing that Diego wanted to his father which is all what Kyle wanted; someone he can look up to as a parent for him. "Y-You want me to be my dad?" Kyle questioned him. "Like my real, real dad…?"
Diego nodded. "Yes…"
Kyle couldn't help but cry a little. He never grew up with his parents and never experienced how a family is like until he met the herd and Diego. After all Kyle and Diego have done together, Kyle can see that Diego was the father he never have, and the love Diego showed towards him-words couldn't define it, Diego just loved and cared so much about Kyle that he also was a son to him that he never thought he would have as well.
Kyle goes to Diego and hugs him happily. Diego smiles warmly as he wraps his paws around Kyle, comforting him. "I've always wanted you to be my dad," Kyle happily cried, still holding Diego tightly.
Diego patted Kyle's back softly and smiled, "Shhh...you got me and I got you, remember that, okay?"
"I love you, Dad" Kyle said, just by telling Diego he loved him was such a weird feeling since now Diego was his father.
Diego couldn't help but smile. He was happily all of a sudden and his heart felt warm towards Kyle. He loved Kyle too-with all of his heart. Diego wouldn't let Kyle go from his paws. "I love you too, son" He said, as he nuzzled him fatherly.
After that night, we were happy together. We became a family, just me and him and the herd were happy about it. I thought our bond was so strong that nothing could break us apart. However, after a month later from becoming father and son, Dad… I mean Diego changed all of a sudden. That was the day when he broke my heart...
"Kyle, are you sure you're okay?" Ellie asked, worryingly, touching Kyle's head.
Kyle chuckled. "Of course I'm okay. What are you talking about?"
Ellie sighed of relief which Kyle was confused what was going on. He was curious where his father has went since he hasn't seen him for the whole day. "Hey, Ellie? Where's Dad?" Kyle asked for his father.
"I believe went out somewhere," Ellie said, pointing outside to the large lake that was close to the valley where they live.
Kyle smiles happily, heading outside. "Thanks, Ellie!"
"Are you sure you're feeling okay? You don't feel any pain in your head or anything?" Ellie asks in worry.
Kyle turns his head towards Ellie, confused. "I'm okay. I don't know what you're talking about" With that, Kyle left and went to search for Diego.
Walking through the valley, he loved the smell of the fresh fragrance of air, blowing against his orange fur. He strolled to a pathway where it led to the lake. Kyle can feel it will be such a great day. A day that he and his father will be spending time together and have a little adventure with Diego's amazing wonders. As he approached to the lake, he sees Diego over a distance, looking at the clear water that surrounded him.
"Hey, Dad! Hey, Dad!" Kyle shouted, running towards Diego excitedly like an eight-year-old child.
However, Diego didn't turn back or anything. He continues to stare at the lake. "Hey, Dad, I was wondering if we should something fun together!" Kyle suggested with excitement in his tone.
Diego didn't bother to reply at all...he just ignored him. "Dad…?" Kyle begin to grow worried, thinking that Diego might be in a bad mood or something terrible happened. "Dad, are you o-"
"Don't call me 'Dad' anymore. Just call me Diego…" Words finally came from the adult saber's mouth. But Kyle was stunned what Diego just said to him...to not call him father. "But why, Dad…?" Kyle questions, ignoring Diego's request.
Diego let out a sigh. "Kyle...listen to me. Don't call me 'Dad' anymore...just don't…" He said coldly.
Kyle hurt by his comment, but wouldn't give up to know why and what reason lead him to not be his father anymore. "But, why? Why are you doing this?! I thought you wanted to be my dad?!" Kyle looked him in the eye with tears streaming down his cheek.
"CAN'T YOU SEE I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR DAD!" Diego shouted harshly towards Kyle which got the little cub scared. The adult saber turns away slowly, not giving an eye to him. "...Just leave me alone…"
As a result, Kyle sadly sobs and leaves Diego with a shattered heart. This was the day that Kyle never expected to happen or will be the same after. This was the start of their relationship coming to an end…
Awwwwww….. :'(
