Thank you…especially jy24 and 13Mitsume27. I owe you my life and gratitude; you have given me motivation, inspiration, the will to keep writing and your lovely comments/reviews, made me cry the happiest of tears…

So I thank you, from the bottom of my heart with all my love and gratefulness that I can give. Thank you, the both of you. I wouldn't be here right now…I had suffered a lot and it got to me, I didn't understand and seen the will to move on until now, the passion I had for writing, I thought it was gone, but here I am once again, in tears.

Because of you two, just by reading your lovely reviews/comments, made my heart swell up badly, knowing that you two looked forward to this story, and never got to read it, made me cry in agony and guilt…I don't ever want to feel that way and again and I can't make promises I can't keep.

But I'll promise you this! I will try my hardest to give you all a great story, take you on a journey and enjoy this. I want to cherish it all, you and this. Please, I promise you all, especially jy24 and 13Mitsume27; that you will get your deserved story of Allen The Zoo Keeper.

Right now…I love you all please forgive me and I can't apologise and thank you all enough:

"I am so sorry, and thank you."

Chapter 2 - Lavi

-Monday-

"Lavi…"

"That's the name, huh? Cool, hey Allen don't ya' think it would've been better to open it in the enclosure, I mean, the lady said it was sneaky…so…"

Daisya said as he eyed the creature and glanced at Allen, his eyes widen at the young boy.

Allen was smiling, the truest and happiest smile he has seen, so excited and in joy it made Daisya question his preferences. But, Daisya respected Allen and wouldn't lay a finger on him, nor would he let anyone else do so. He knew Allen since Primary School, but since Soccer stole his heart and he had his freedom on the field, he couldn't be around at lunchtimes to hang out and in class he sat lazily with a group of friends other than Allen. He thought back to it, and Allen must've been so lonely, without Daisya's dry jokes, fun presence and someone to at least talk to. The freedom he had and now within his grasp tight and firm, is great. But the freedom to hang with your best friend and only real friend he had crushed him. The guilt he has and the thousands of apologies he wanted to show to Allen made him re-think about this 16 year old boy next to him, who crushed his dreams about magic and being invited to Hogwarts to do magic, who has a beautiful smile…

He couldn't have found a better friend than Allen. He was sure of that, because of where Allen is and his smile, being surrounded by animals, more like family; and doing what he loves with no regret. It's like he wasn't lonely at all, the burden and the guilt, it was like that smile he got the first time he caught up to Allen, hearing he was a Zoo Keeper; was saying, "I forgive you. It's alright, I am fine, and I am happy for you, Daisya."

Which made him go into tears, as manly he wanted to be, with Allen he felt like he could really show his true self.

Daisya smirks at the memory and sees Allen still smiling.

"Ah! Daisya, here he comes!"

"Eh?! But the animal could escape!"

Allen grins and shows a determined face, "I don't believe he would risk that."

"He?"

Daisya stood back two steps as Allen got up and stared at the red fur beginning to show even more. Allen thought it was the beautiful colour he has ever seen on an animal. But to know what Lavi was is now going to be revealed.

Daisya gaped, "IT'S-"

Allen gasped, "IT'S-"

Red fur covered Lavi's body; the animal eyed them both with one emerald eye, and then looked Allen in the eye. Allen was stunned and stared right back, Daisya in shock ran over to the fountain that's in the middle of the Zoo. The Animals watched in interest, as the newcomer slowly made his way out of the crate into view. How marvellous and lovely the creature is, how soft the fur would be to the touch and the scent of the forest still attached to it, Lavi…you are so beautiful.

That is what Allen thought, and whispered…

"Lavi…Lavi the red wolf…"

Chapter 3 is going to be uploaded and posted/updated straight after this! Thank you all so much, hope you like it so far! I am so sorry!
