A/N: Thanks again ya'll for reading and reviewing. I intended for this
chapter to be longer, but I am impatient. I am going to have to think long
and hard for what chapter 6 will have in it. I will chew on it, lol.
On with chapter 5! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Harmony was the first to wake up the following morning. "Wha..........where am I?" She rubbed her eyes sleepily. She was in a cave....and......Spat was sleeping on the floor on the other side. Now she remembered. Spat came in the cave last night and found her crying about the previous days incident. And then he let her...........she blushed at the thought. He let her cry on his shoulder? She must have been dreaming. No, she must still be dreaming. Why would he, of all hamsters, let her cry on his shoulder? That was just not like Spat.
She groggily sat up and glanced at Spat lying on the opposite end of the room. She studied him closely. He looked so peaceful. She had never seen this side of him before. Normally he always had some kinda of smirk or angry look on his face.
"Hmm........maybe I should fetch us something to eat," Harmony whispered to herself. She rose from her sleeping spot and walked out of the cave. The morning air was cool and refreshing. The sun was quickly rising. She could tell it was definitely going to be a beautiful day.
She marched off to find some sunflower seeds to share with Spat for breakfast.
********************************************************
Spat woke up with a yawn. He sat up and looked around. Where did Harmony go? He frowned to himself.
"I guess she is still made at me......and still hates me........" he said sadly to himself. He didn't blame her. He acted strange last night, and it probably scared her. Funny how someone acting nice would scare someone. He figured he had been so mean, he being nice would scare the heck out of someone. He still wished she didn't run off without saying goodbye.
He huddled up in the corner, sulking. She left him, just like everyone else leaves him too.
******************************************************** Harmony had struck gold, and was returning with a bunch of sunflower seeds.
She sang merrily to herself. Despite the previous day's chaotic events, she was very happy that morning. Maybe the goodnight's sleep did her some good. She still wondered about Spat's odd behavior. She suddenly became worried and gasped. "What if it is some sort of trick? What if he has something else planned?" Maybe not, but she would still keep a close eye on him.
She arrived back at the cave and skipped inside. "Spat?!" she called out.
She looked in the corner to see Spat huddled to himself, his face buried in his paws. His shoulders were heaving like he was crying. He quickly looked up at the sound of her voice. Harmony put the seeds down and walked over to Spat and gently bent down, facing him. "Spat, what are you crying about?" Her voice was full of concern. He looked up at her with tear-filled eyes.
"I thought you left me......." he replied.
"What?!" Harmony thought to herself. Why would he be crying over her leaving? She thought he would be more than glad that she was gone, or at least when he was acting normal he would be. But since last night he had been very different. She didn't know what to think of him now. She hoped it wasn't a trick...
"No, I didn't leave you. I just went to get us breakfast." she said, softly. Spat nodded in response. Harmony got up and walked over to the pile of seeds she gathered. "Eat as much as you like, there is more than enough." Spat nodded, and came over and joined her. They quietly dined together. The silence was almost unbearable, each wondering what was on the other's mind.
Harmony could take it no longer. She had to break up the silence. She asked him the one question that had been nagging her all morning. "Spat, why have you been acting so.........so strange lately?"
Spat looked up at her and thought for a moment. "What's it to ya, phhfftt?" he said in an irritated voice. There he goes again! He should be nice to her, he had no reason to be mean. He soon regretted it.
Harmony's face transformed into an angry scowl. "I was just wondering! Oh, Spat, will you ever change? I don't know what to think of you anymore. Yesterday you were screaming at me, then last night you were comforting me, and now this morning you are being a smart arse!" (A/N: Lol, don't you just love that word?)
Spat just sat there, not sure what to say. He himself didn't know why he was transforming into a different hamster. He didn't really like it either. He vowed he would forever hate love and kindness, but now he was starting to accept it and, surprisingly, show some affection. He didn't understand why comforting Harmony the night before made him feel good. It kinda made him feel warm and fuzzy. Normally he would take triumph in one's grieving.
They continued eating in silence. Every once in a while Spat would try to get a glance of Harmony while he nibbled on his sunflower seed. He never noticed how pretty she was. The pretty white fur, the dark eyes, the cute angel costume....... What was he thinking? He couldn't let this happen to him. He tried to ignore the nagging feeling coming over him, but it seemed to be stronger than he thought.
Harmony noticed his constant glances and was starting to get a little uneasy. She didn't like how he was staring at her. "What?" she asked.
"What do you mean 'what'?"
"Why do you keep on staring at me?" she asked, a look of suspicion on her face.
Spat blushed. "I.........err.........umm.......nothing. I wasn't staring at you!" he lied.
"Then what were you looking at?"
"Nothing? Ok? Phhfft!"
"Nothing, what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing!"
"This argument isn't going anywhere. Just forget what I said. I had better be going, anyways. I am sure Boss and the rest of the Ham Hams will be worried about me" said Harmony. "I am going to go now, Spat. Behave now."
Spat felt a rush of jealousy at the mention of the name Boss. He heard from some source that he had a big crush on Harmony. But, why would he be jealous? Why should he care if Boss liked Harmony? But what if Harmony likes Boss back?"
"Of course, princess" Spat scowled.
Harmony rose from her seat and walked out of the cave with a glare.
Spat felt a sudden urge to stop her. What if he would never see her again? Why did he care whether he did or not? He was so confused. Maybe he should stop her? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try to talk things over with her and apologize about the argument? This was so not him.....
Spat quickly jumped from his seat on the cave floor and ran out the cave door. "Harmony, wait up!" he called.
Harmony was only a little bit ahead of him. The sound of someone's calling her name caused her to turn around and look for the source. Unfortunately, the source was not a good one for her. She saw Spat running to catch up to her. "Harmony......wait for me..." Spat panted as soon as he caught up.
"What do you want?" she said, with a glare. "Haven't you had enough yet?"
Spat looked at the ground and nervously fiddled with a blade of grass using his foot. "Well......I just wanted to.....just wanted to......um.....a- apologize.......yeah, that's it!"
Harmony raised an eyebrow. "Apologize?"
"Yes...."
"Fine, apology accepted. I guess I will be seeing ya!" she said, and started to walk faster. She had enough of him for one day.
Spat didn't know what else to say. Surely they wouldn't allow him back in the clubhouse. He had already done too much damage there. He had nowhere to go. He wanted to spend more time with Harmony.... he didn't know why, but he actually kind of enjoyed her company, even though they were arguing. He never had any friends nor family who cared, so it was nice to have someone to talk to.
He had to think of something to say before she got back to the clubhouse! If he didn't, his chances with her could be gone forever. Maybe if he told her the truth...... No, he was too ashamed of what he was becoming. He didn't understand why he was so worried about her being gone forever. In his past when he used his evil schemes, he had even tried to kill her with no second thoughts on his mind. He didn't believe Harmony would kill anyone, no matter how evil they were. She always seemed to give him a second chance, and more on top of that. She was so sweet and caring, even though he was mean to her. She helped him recover when he could have been left for dead with the fever he had. She had the heart of an angel. She even had the beauty of an angel. The soft, silky white fur, the sparkling black eyes, she soft sweet voice. And look at him, an ugly evil hamster that wanted nothing more than to destroy the very thing in life that seemed to matter the most. Love. It was so clear to him now that he was actually developing feeling of attraction toward her. He didn't know what to do about it. He wanted to feelings to go away, yet he wanted to spend his time with her.
Spat knew Harmony would never fall for someone like him. He was sure of it. She was an angel, and he was the devil. He wished he were never born. It would make everyone happier. Even though Harmony helped him, he did not think that she would actually love him the way he was starting to love her. But maybe she would? Maybe she could teach him how to love like everyone in his past hadn't. Maybe if he tried.....if he stopped being to mean and stopped fighting, just maybe she would.........
Spat walked faster to keep up with her.

I thought this was a good place to end. I think it will keep you in........suspicion. Ha! Ok, nevermind. But anyways, it may be a day or so before the next chapter is up. Thanks for reading!
