Chapter 11
Crescent started screaming. Mordecai rushed to her room the moment he heard the scream. He threw the door open and saw Crescent sitting on the floor crying.
"She's dead! She's dead and, they just replaced her!" she screamed
Mordecai hugged her in order to comfort her.
"It's ok Crescent, everything will be fine!" said the blue jay.
Mordecai pulled out some candy and gave it to her. The wolf took the candy and started to calm down.
"Mordecai, I'm not sure I can face those people; whoever they are they are evil!" said Crescent.
"Don't worry you aren't going to face them, without me." He said.
She began to hug him back and her tears were beginning to cease. They sat there for many minutes.
When she had calmed down, the blue jay showed her some funny web videos. Later, they played some video games, and after a while she was ready to tell him what happened. Then they were sitting all alone in the wolf's room. The wolf turned to the blue jay and hugged him.
"I- I love… you." she said.
Mordecai didn't know what to say but, she seemed happy so he said nothing. They stopped hugging. Crescent was looking at Mordecai with a smile. Crescent was getting tired though and lied down. He could tell that she probably wanted him to stay and he did.
In the morning, the blue jay was laying next to the wolf but in a separate bed of pillows right next to hers. He didn't go to sleep that night. She was still asleep and was facing the other way and her bed was about a foot away. She was lying there in her pajamas. Then the wolf woke up. She smiled at him.
"Good morning Mordecai! I see you stayed this time!" she said. Then she laughed.
"Good morning." He said.
"I'm gonna go down stairs now." said Mordecai.
"I'll be right down; just let me get ready first." said Crescent.
The blue jay got down stairs and ate some breakfast. Then Crescent came down with Rigby.
"I'm telling you; ya gotta use hand boning!" said the raccoon.
"You're so silly Rigby!" said the wolf.
"I'm gonna go get some coffee. You wanna come?"
"Yes!" she said in excitement.
"Yeah!" said Rigby in the way they normally do.
They went to the door and walked outside. Crescent was humming a happy tune on the drive there. Then Mordecai parked the kart in front of the coffee shop. The three sat at the table. Then the television turned on. It was the news.
"In other news, the U. S. A. B. has reported that an important person has gone missing, she is a wolf…" said the anchorman as the blue jay turned off the TV.
Margret came up and saw Crescent sitting close to Mordecai.
"Hi, what's your name?" asked the robin.
"Crescent!" she said with enthusiasm.
"I'll have the usual." said Mordecai.
"Same." said Rigby.
After the Mordecai and Rigby got their coffee they left. Then as they were getting to the kart, that man in a suit from before came by and was surprised to see Crescent with Mordecai.
"Well, that explains why we can't find her; I told you she was dangerous." said the man.
The wolf was scared now and was hiding behind the blue jay. The raccoon didn't know what was going on so he just got out of the way.
"Don't worry, just give her to me and nobody gets hurt. After all, that girl is dangerous and must be taken care of." He said.
Crescent was still cowering behind Mordecai.
"Please help me." she whispered.
"If you want Crescent you'll have to go through me first!" said the blue jay.
"And me!" said the raccoon.
"That can be arranged! Besides you two aren't in the plan which makes you expendable. I will be back; you just declared war on us!" he said. As he got in his car and drove off.
"What are we gonna do!" screamed Rigby in a panic.
"Thank you Mordecai!" said the wolf.
Then she hugged him. They got in the kart and drove toward the park. This was it, there was no turning back now and Mordecai is risking his life for this girl.
