Kat Sinn – Chapter 2
Folvos's eyes opened and he was immediately set into a high alert mode because of the unfamiliar surroundings. He sat up and looked around the gloomy cave and groaned when he felt his head begin to pound.
"So you're awake now?" A happy voice called out before he noticed a Faunus poke her head around the corner. Folvos glared at her before she came around the corner fully, "Not much of a talker? Well my name is Kat, what's yours?"
"Folvos." He responded, sharp and to the point not looking away from Kat.
"Is this how you treat everyone who saves your life?" She asks tilting her head still not trying to move any closer to the clearly confused person sitting in her home, "Don't you remember what happened before you passed out?" Kat questions further and Folvos glares a little harder.
"I do, I was fighting to save something, then I got hit into a tree and I don't remember what happened after that…" Folvos starts trying to stand up despite the pounding his head is doing almost feeling like something is trying to escape his head.
"After you got hit into the tree an alpha Beowolf started to charge at you , you would've died but I managed to shoot it before it could hit you." Kat takes a weary step towards Folvos, "Please sit down, I grabbed your weapon as I ran us here, would you sit down if I gave it back to you?" Folvos looks up at her eyeing Kat for a second before she disappears back behind the rocks she came from emerging again after a minute holding Folvos's staff. "Please sit down Folvos, if not for me for whoever you were defending?" Folvos frowns for a second before beginning to sit down again,
"Fine, but I'm leaving when I can, I need to get back to my village." Kat smiles happily giving a little fist pump when Folvos says he'll sit back down.
"Good, I don't want you to get hurt…"
The arrow flies through the air and hits the small deer straight in the side causing it to fall onto its side and let out a shriek of pain before another hits it in the head killing it instantly. Folvos emerges from some nearby bushes smiling at himself over his kill. Reaching down Folvos picks up the deer and starts carrying it back towards the cave that he and Kat had shared for the past month. His happiness began to fade as he remembered his decision he had made, today would be the day that he left for Beacon Academy. He had found out that the Grimm had later came back and destroyed the town despite his efforts and after a week of sadness and depression Kat had managed to talk him out of his… plans, convincing him instead to prevent it from happening to others. This would be their last meal before he left and honestly, it made him sad, they had grown close over the past month and he wasn't looking forwards to leaving.
"I'm home!" Folvos jokingly calls out to Kat while she attended to a fire that she made while he was out.
"Did you get something worthwhile this time 'wolfie'?" she called back in a teasing tone.
"I told you to stop calling me that and yeah I did, take a look." Folvos moves the deer around to the front and places it on their makeshift chopping area. Kat gives out a small whistle,
"Wow, didn't think you could actually get anything worthwhile" Kat smiles before gently punching Folvos's shoulder getting worried, "Hey, are you ok? You usually get happy when you make a catch like this." She tilts her head slightly as she hears Folvos let out a sigh.
"Listen, I've been here for a month… I think it's time for me to go to Beacon…" Folvos says to Kat without turning around.
"What, why? We have everything we need here; besides, you may get hurt there…" Kat trails off looking towards Folvos, her happy demeanour gone in a split second replaced with one of worry and sorrow.
"I want to be able to protect others Kat; I want to stop others from losing like I did. Listen, you can come with me if you'd like. There's no guarantee we'll get it but some chance is better than none right?" Folvos turns to face Kat, "I am leaving tomorrow whether or not you come with me… but it would be more fun to have a friend come along." Folvos smiles and holds out his hand to Kat too shake on it. She happily dives into Folvos giving him an almost bone crushing hug.
"You want me to come with you? Of course I will!" She lets out a slight squeal and Folvos winces while folding his wolf ears against his head slightly as the squeal echoes around the cave.
"Sorry, I got excited…" Kat frowns and looks to the ground as Folvos walks over to her.
"It's ok, I think we should leave tomorrow morning. That should give us plenty of time to get to Beacon… I hope." Folvos smiles and begins to prepare the deer he had caught for their dinner while Kat moves back to the fire.
"Sounds good." Kat smiles while Folvos places the meat in a position to start cooking. Kat moved a bit closer to Folvos and rested her head on his shoulder, a week ago when she first did it he had been surprised but now that he was used to it he just placed his hand onto her further away shoulder as they watched the fire dance inside its confines.
