Chapter 2:
Foxes
Steve awoke finding the place beside his bed empty. He got up, combing his hair.
"Daddy." Kai's shrill voice came from the hallway, "Cid broke my pencil, I need a new one." Steve rolled his eyes. It wasn't anything new. He walked past her,
"I'll get you one when I come home. Have you seen Cloud and your mother?" Kai was about to answer when Cid walked in-between the two.
"In the kitchen making breakfast." Kai ran after Cid, both disappearing behind the corner of the wall. As the blonde man walked down the hall he caught the smell of bacon, eggs, muffins, and coffee. He walked in and saw Cloud putting the plates and the silverware on the table. His wife was standing at the stove, taking care of the bacon. He walked up to her, hugging her.
"Morning." One kiss on the cheek already made her smile, "How'd you sleep?"
"Alright I guess."
"You guess?"
"I had a nightmare of a young girl and Alex." He frowned when his rival's name came out of her mouth.
"What did he do?"
"Hurt the child," Her face became serious, "Why is he like that?"
"I don't know." Sometimes Steve would get scared of her, for some reason. She turned around to face him, "At least you're not like that." She kissed him on the lips and turned back to the bacon. After breakfast, Cloud, Cid, and Kai went to school.
"I gotta ta practice, after that I'll get the groceries." Steve's voice called from the door, as his wife came up to him.
"Please, if you see a girl with a scar on her left eye, bring her home. It's shaped like a moon."
"Honey," He took her gently by the arms, "it was a dream. Nothing more." He kissed her on the cheek and left for practice.
