Marc come back that evening and heard giggling out in the back. He had climbed the wall to his balcony and glanced out of it but saw nothing. He climbed back out to the wall and around towards the back to where he saw the brat and the girl. He climbed down and stood behind them and the boy was the first to notice him.
He smiled happily when he saw him and hurried next to him, grabbing his hand he pulled Marc towards the spot where the girl was standing.
Marc pushed the boy away and growled.
"You sure do growl a lot," the girl said as she held her hand out to the boy. The lad, of course, took it and walked back over to her. "What do you call him? I haven't been able to figure out what his name is.
"Brat," Marc said, he thought about growling again but decided against it.
"The boy needs a name!" the girl hissed and held the boy's hand protectively.
"Why? He can't hear it!"
"Everyone needs a name!" the girl's face was growing red and Marc realized she had quite a temper.
"Who cares about a name? You can't call him by it!"
The girl glared at him and looked down at the brat and smiled.
"Fine, I'll call him Angel." she looked down at the boy like a mother would.
"Angel? What kind of name is that!"
"A nice one!"
"A girly one! You will not call that boy 'Angel'!"
"I will call him anything I please, Beast!" the girl said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Beast! Who do you think you are!" Marc said walking towards her dangerously. Still the girl stood with her arms crossed over her chest.
Marc felt a tug on the back of his tail and realized that 'Angel' was trying to keep him from ripping the girl's face off, which was exactly what he was thinking of doing.
"You're a... a..."
"You have problems with words don't you? Why don't you just growl at me?"
Marc did growl, and then he roared and lunged towards her with a roar.
Angel still hung on to his tail and pulled sharply. Marc turned and snapped at him and when the girl saw this she lifted her hand in the air and slapped Marc across the face.
"If you ever snap at him again...I'll... I'll..."
"Bite me?" Marc said getting closer to the girl's face.
The girl snapped her teeth together like she would bite him before taking the boy by the hand and walking off.

Beauty walked inside holding Angel by the hand. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, almost wanting to faint. She had never been so scared in all her life! She looked down at the boy and realized just how much he did resemble her Angel...
Her eyes began to water but she ignored it. She wouldn't cry.
Angel, the lad, hugged her around the waist and they walked into the drawing room and sat on a big fluffy couch. She hugged him and leaned back, letting him fall asleep on her lap. She closed her eyes and her mind drifted back to that day in the woods. Back to the day she lost the man she loved.

The next morning came and went and it was closer to noon the next time Marc saw either the girl or the brat.
He was surprised when the boy didn't bring him his breakfast and when the boy came in to give him his lunch Marc growled at him.
"Brat," he muttered. The boy looked up at him and looked back down at the table where he was arranging the plates and napkins and cups. Marc noticed, first that the boy had never before set the table nor did he set it for two people.
Marc gave the boy a surprised look.
The kid then pulled up two chairs and sat comfortably in one of them and began to eat his food.
"What are you doing?" Marc asked moving towards the table, but the boy didn't look at him, just ate.
"Brat?"
The boy simply ate.
Marc growled.
Still the boy sat eating.
"Kid..." Marc said bending down and trying to look at the boy's face. "Angel?"
The boy looked up at him then, and his face seemed to ask "yes?".
"You can hear cant you, you little brat!"
The boy blinked at returned to his meal. When he realized Marc wasn't eating with him he pouted.
"Don't even think about it." Marc said.
His bottom lip began to shake and Marc's surprise the boy was doing his best to hold back tears. His mouth dropped open and, not really knowing what to do, pulled the chair around and sat in it. He huffed an annoyed sigh and put his elbows on the table.
"Happy now?"
The boy smiled at him and pushed Marc's plate closer so that the big cat creature might actually eat it. Marc sighed and took a bite of the cold sandwich. He was losing his appetite for such foods but ate them anyways until he could go and hunt.
He sat with the boy and ate in silence. Angel, as Marc knew he would from then on be called, smiled happily the whole time.
