Matthew cleans his rifle unwilling to except the news that's been brought to him, "He's alive. I know he is." He mutters to himself as he looks the rifle up and down before reloading it, "They're leaving him out there to die because he's a Neko…because he's an Omega." He grumbles thinking he's alone.
"Seems like your mind is made up." A voice says beside him. "But the border will be hell to cross especially alone."
Matthew watches the Danish man for a moment before standing up to leave, "It doesn't matter I know he's alive and I made a promise to bring my brother home." The Dane grabs his arm, "Mathias I don't care what you say I'm going." While he's been told he can trust this Alpha he's not a hundred percent sure he can.
The tall blonde man stands looking down slightly at the Sniper with a cocky smile, "I said hell alone but then it won't be too bad with me by your side."
He's taken aback slightly, the Canadian's only known this man for barely a week and yet Mathias' willing to risk his life for a man he barely knows, "Why? Why would you help me."
The blue eyed Alpha looks down at him, "Why would a fox like me help a wolf like you save a Neko I don't know?" He gives a small smirk but Matthew can see a hint of sadness in his eyes before Mathias laughs, "Maybe I have my own reasons."
Raising an eyebrow Matthew watches the man before finally nodding yet he feels that it didn't matter what he said the Dane would be coming along anyway. "Then we'll leave-"
"We leave at twilight." Mathias cuts him off with a smile, "I'll see you at the edge of town." And with that the Fox Alpha walks away.
Matthew watches him go still unsure about the man that still would rather fight in hand to hand with that large ax of his then with modern warfare. The fox from all appearances is brash, loud and cocky not to mention the Alpha seem to have a slight drinking problem. The Fox is everything a trained sniper should avoid as a partner but now it seems like he's stuck with the Danish man. Matthew lets out a sigh as he turns back towards his base to grab much needed supplies and a map of the area. Hopefully he's wrong about the Fox and Mathias will be able to get him across the border and while he knows he might never know why Alfred crashed he'll bring that Omega home even if it kills him.
Looking down at a worn map Alfred tries his best to comprehend where they are. When he was shot down he wasn't sure if he was over the border or not but now it's clear to him that they're still pretty close to the Capital. "Damn how could I have been so off?" Folding up the map he crams it into his jacket pocket before picking up the small kitten, "Now where did that Father of yours get too?" He can't help but tickle her lightly getting a high pitched giggle from the child.
Her soft auburn hair flies as she happily struggles to get out of his reach, "Daddy is hunting." She mewls out as Alfred quickly stops, "What's wrong Alfie?"
The Neko sniffs the air around them, "I think we should be quiet if he's hunting." He answers back with a small smile so he doesn't scare the Kitten. "So why don't you help me clean up a little until your father gets back?" For all Alfred knows the man is really hunting or he could be scouting ahead and the last thing they need is being caught because he let his Omega instincts get in the way.
She lets out a small purr at the thought of helping the older Omega, "Okay Alfie."
As he stands up he's thankful that the pounding in his head has finally subsided at least of a while. He allows himself to stretch out before letting out a light purr. "Damn it I'm so stiff…" He says in English hoping that the young kitten won't pick up any new swear words.
He happens to look down to see Crina copying him with an innocent smile, "Bitch?" She says in sweetly in German.
His mouth drops to the floor as his eyes widen, "What did you just say young lady?" He meows out surprised by his own tone but he keeps going, "That's not a very nice word and…what the hell am I doing?" He blinks as tears threaten to fall from her eyes, "Oh shit, no don't cry sweetie." He whispers in a hushed voice as he picks her up. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you." A twig cracks behind him but the Neko quickly picks up the scent of the Alpha on the wind, knowing instantly its Gilbert.
"Vhat happened?" The wolf asks with slight concern in his thick accent, "Is she hurt?"
"No." Alfred answers purring to the small kitten, "But apparently you taught her a new word." When Gilbert just looks at him confused the Omega thinks for a moment to find the word in English, "Nanny goat."
"Ahh…" The Alpha manages as he clears his throat, "She might have picked that…vord from the awesome me." He walks over taking the kitten from the Omega, "But that still doesn't mean you yell at her."
"I didn't mean to yell at her." He says watching the older man for any sudden moments only realizing he still doesn't have his side arm so if the Alpha decides to turn on him…he's pretty much a dead Neko. He doesn't want to but for his survival he flattens his ears slightly letting out a tiny whimper. "I don't know why I did it…" He says in German.
Gilbert's crimson eyes stare at him and Alfred feels a shiver run down his spine before the Alpha finally answers back, "You were reprimanding her. But she's only two…" He looks down at her as he starts to hum making it deep in his throat so it nearly sounds like purring.
"Well…she's actually four." Gilbert stops staring at him like he's crazy. "Nekos…" He thinks for a moment hoping his explanation will make sense, "Kittens are tinnier than pups…they don't really start growing until they're four to five…"
Gilbert nods looking down at his kitten, "And why does she meow?" He asks in German truly curious about their kind.
"Well…it's our own language all Nekos learn or well born with really." Alfred scratches his ear not sure if the Alpha is understanding any of what he's saying, "It's how I can talk to her and many never learn any other language."
It takes a moment for it to sink in before Gilbert finally nods, "So will she learn both English and German?"
"I don't see why she won't." He answers back surprised as Gilbert hands Crina back to him.
"Teach her English then…and I will teach her German so when you two go back home she has a chance but will remember where she comes from." Alfred can feel the sadness radiating off of him but before he can ask Gilbert answers his question, "Her mother is dead…" The last statement is in English so the kitten will less likely understand.
Alfred nods and while he doesn't want to he needs to know, "Did you kill her?"
"Nein!" He says rapidly and Alfred quickly backs away instinctively shielding the kitten with his arm. "I didn't touch her mother…"
Something about the way Gilbert says it tells Alfred to drop it so he just nods slowly, "Alright Dude I believe you."
"Good now I found a path that will take us down to the river were we can hide our scents more easily." Gilbert picks up what supplies they have as Alfred watches him, "What?"
"You said I could have my gun back today." Alfred knows it's a risk to ask knowing that the Alpha might just laugh in his face but to his amazement Gilbert hands him back his gun. "Thank you."
Gilbert holds on to it as he stares deep into Alfred's cobalt eyes, "Don't make me regret this Alfred."
"You won't."
With that Gilbert let's go with a smirk. "Good now let's go we have a long walk ahead of us."
Alfred holsters his gun before following the Alpha down the hidden path, "Okay…" He watches the man in front of him unsure if the wolf's leading him into an ambush or to freedom but the one thing he's certain about is that he has to get out of Germany before the end of the month or else he'll be at the mercy of this Wolf when his heat starts.
