Chapter 3
Apologies Make Friends…Right?
STILL BUNNY'S POV.
I was racing towards Candy's warren. The only thing I could think about was apologizing. I knew that I crossed the line, and after seeing what she had gone through, it only made me feel like a bigger jerk…
I finally had made it to her warren and looked around for her. I didn't see her, but I did see Eliza in a small area with flowers, picking them. I walked over, she looked up and over to me and glared, then turned her head with a humph. I sighed, I knew what I had coming.
"Okay, yeah, I know that I was a jerk to your sister." I admitted. She looked over at me, then away.
I sat down next to her and saw that she was trying to make a flower chain crown. It brought back memories of when my clan was still around. But I t looked like she was having some trouble.
"May I?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled.
"Sure." she said.
I started gently double knotting the flowers, until they were in a full circle. She beamed and thanked me.
"No problem." I stated.
"How did you get so good at making flower chain crowns?" she asked.
"I remember that my mum used to make them with me when I was just a little ankle-biter." I said smiling.
She smiled at me again.
"You know, you're alright…when you're not all grumpy and yelling." she said giggling.
"Thanks, and I try not to be so grumpy all the time." I explained. She giggled.
"So, can you tell me where your sister is, so that I can go apologize for being the gumby that I was." I asked, making her laugh.
"I think that she went to the cliff that over looks everything, it's just up that way from here." she said, pointing up to the right.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem, and don't worry. If you just explain, I'm sure that she'll understand and forgive." she stated.
"Good to know. Well, wish me luck." I said.
"Luck!" she yelled as I walked up the way she pointed out to me.
As I walked, I was able to start making out Candy's silhouette. She was sitting on a large log, big enough for two, and was hunched over. She had her elbows on her legs, and her lead sitting perfectly in her hands. As I walked up, I could see that she had a sad and conflicted look on her face.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit?" I asked.
She didn't even look at me as she spoke.
"Sure, why not?" she said with no emotion. I was silent, not speaking at all, neither was she.
After about fifteen minutes of silence, I spoke up.
"Look, Candice, I wanted to apologize." I said. She chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, I know. I heard you talking to Eliza." she said.
"Then you also know that I want to try and explain, for why I acted the way that I did." I stated.
"Yeah, but I just want to know why. I mean, I understand that you were upset about me blowing up like I did, but you didn't have to say all those hateful things." she said, turning to face me with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry for that, it's just, well, finding out there there's a chance that we could save the race of our clans, it just, it filled me with new hope. But I have to admit, I was asking a lot of you, not to mention that it was something really personal…" I said trailing off.
"Yeah, you were. But it well could have been, that we never would have met, I probably would have always stayed in hiding, you never would have known about me, then there would be nothing that could be done about it, either way."
"True, and again, I'm sorry." I apologized again.
"It's fine, I forgive you, and just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness, for the things that I said." she explained.
"It's alright, I probably would have said the same or worse if I were you." I said.
She giggled, then spoke up again. "Glad to know that we're on the same page."
After a minute, I spoke up.
"So, you bring the painting flowers, interesting." he said.
"Well, it is a bit hard to plant them when I'm trying not to be seen, you're always there, not to mention, with the heightened hearing, it's hard trying not to wake you." she stated.
"I knew I heard something!" I exclaimed. We both laughed and she looked at me.
"You know I think that we might just get along fine." she stated.
I looked at her and smiled back.
"Glad to here it."
"…So, what happens next?" I asked.
She pondered it for a moment before speaking.
"I guess that we'll just have to wait and see what fate has in stored…for both of us." she said the last bit quieter, I noticed.
"Yeah, I guess so…" I said smiling as I looked over at everything where we sat.
"So, friends?" she asked, looking at me and holding out her hand.
"Yeah, we're friends, Sheila." I answered reassuringly.
We just sat there is silence. Not the awkward kind, but the nice and peaceful kind. There was nothing that could ruin this moment.
"Yeah…we were going to be just fine." I thought to myself…
CANDY'S POV.
To soon enough, Bunny had to leave, he still had to do early Easter duties, to be prepared. Eliza and I waved goodbye to as he left through a rabbit hole. Then Eliza turned to me with a sly smirk.
"I knew that you liked him!" she said in a mocking tone.
"Hush up, Lizzie." I said. I was not going to admit that I might have liked Bunny, just so she could go and blab it to everyone.
"Sure, okay, fine." she said smugly, as she ran off to play with some of the flowers. I was left with myself and my thoughts, as a small smile came to my face.
"I'm glad that we've become friends Bunny…and…maybe hopefully…more than friends…someday…" I thought to myself.
I chuckled and shook my head as I started off towards Eliza to join her…
