My Mate Till the End of Time

by elizabishop96

Eliza is just a crafty human who lives her life on the edge. She gets away with stuff but when she is not being chased for a small theft or a con then she is going to school and working and living life with her dog McCoy until she gets hit by a car while walking him, but when she wakes up she has fur and a tail and why does McCoy look like a fox kit?

2. Chapter 2

He got me to say yes to the hospital staff to get the IV out of me but McCoy was still asleep and they had to keep his IV in him. I did not like that and I told Nick that also. I told him the IV is making him smell different and I do not like it. What he needs is me to take care of him. Nick said let the Doctors worry about him and do what is best, while you learn to act like another fox. I yipped at him to say only if you stay. I can not understand that well with the other mammals around. They may speak English but I still have a hard time making them understand me. The human part of my brain tells me that they are wild animals that I need to stay away from and my instincts for being a fox says that I should be worried about them. Nick smiles and says of course I will stay. I have to stay to make sure that you do not get bit by another mammal again. I barked and wagged my tail at him. I feel like when I am playing with McCoy. He loves it when I bow at him and give him a happy feeling. I look at Nick and stop wagging my tail and get up and slither towards him. I feel like I should try to walk on two legs but why would I? I need to figure something out about this Nick and why does he want to protect other animals? Foxes stay with their mate and kits their whole lives right? At least I think so. Foxes mate for life somewhere in my mind tells me that I read that before. While I was going towards Nick I circled him. It was like I was thinking about him and debating on something about him. It was like when I would go on dates with guys or when I would tease Luke. I was trying to figure out if they could be more than friends or idiots in my mind. I shooked my head and thought that was odd.

Nick was watching me and said to be careful their Snow. Snow? I thought My name is not Snow. It is Eliza but I do like that name. I did not think that a bark or a noise would help with my question so I tried to say it the way that Nick said, Snow. I had to think it through but in the end, I got a verbal word out that was very close to the word snow. Nick smiled and said I knew you had it in you to talk. Keep on trying and you will get there soon enough. He never answered my question on the name Snow but I guess I will keep it. Eliza was a human and Snow can be a fox. I said very slowly in English I like the name. Call me that and not Eliza. Nick looked at me and I could swear that his red fur turned even more so when I said that. He turned his head away from me and said if you want me to. Your fur is just as white as snow so I thought it would fit. I looked at him and then looked at my arms and paws. He was right. My fur was as pure white as if it was freshly fallen snow. There was not a grey spot on me. I did not remember if my eyes were still blue or not. I hope they were; my eyes are my favorite thing about me. My eyes? I said Nick turned back around and said yea? Are they blue? As blue as the sky. I looked at him and my normal self came out and I laughed happily and danced in a circle. I said they are the same! I love my eyes! They can see everything and since I am always on guard they see better than most.

Nick smiled at that and said that sounds like a fox enough to me. I have been called a fox more than once in my life. I said. I have been almost put in jail more than once but the evidence has been so little that it could not go further than me getting arrested. That was how I met my friend Luke. He is a police officer and he caught me getting money from people who thought I was homeless. Big cities equal people willing to give money to people if you just play the part, but Luke did not believe it for a second and followed me and found out that I had money and everything that I needed. I also was a street vendor. I loved making a good prophet by giving people cheap food. So I guess he was against me because of my way of living from the get-go. I was a sneaky human that did not play by the rules. He tried to get me to put me in jail but never worked and the next thing I knew I had a shadow every day until I asked him out for dinner and we started to get along so well that we became friends who were always together if we were not at work. My family would say that we will get married in the future as to how great friends we were but our lives are so different that we could never. I break the law. He follows it like it is his life. I live for a good chase and I know every person and every turn that I could make so getting caught is not possible.

I then said that might be why when I got here I was a fox since I acted like one. Nick said that maybe is the reason why. I then said but I wonder why McCoy is a fox? He was a dog, basically, a small wolf that needs a human to take care of him. He will never grow mentally where he is right now. He will always act like a child for his whole life. Right when I said that a Nurse came in and heard what I said. He said that for every test we have taken for the kit and you your brain has been fully developed for your ages. You, being an adult fox has the brain as a fully developed adult fox. Your kit has the brain of a 2 almost 3-year-old fox. He will be able to talk and walk and act like any 3-year-old fox when he wakes up. The tests must be right since you are talking and thinking. You might be talking slowly but you are talking. I still want to bite your head off for being close to me. Nick for some reason he is ok. I hate having other animals near me but Nick is ok. I do not like people. That is why I got McCoy. He has never been human, he has been a dog. People human? Said the nurse. Nick answered for me and said that People is the same as animals and human is the same as mammals. The nurse nodded and walked to McCoy. I growled at him to warn him that if he did anything that I did not like, I would attack. Nick noticed that I was also showing signs that I was ready to attack. He slithered towards me and circled around me and rubbed himself around me. I closed my eyes and said how did you do that? I feel calmer now. Instincts go both ways,s Snow. I feel how you are feeling but I was raised to suppress them. I was raised to act what you would say human. To get to know the mammals that I find worthy as a mate and to pick after so many months if she is worth being mine. Your instincts are different than what you would feel like a human so you do not know how to deal with them. So I will act the way to make you rethink about how you are acting.

I said thank you to Nick. It means a lot when you say that. It means that I have a friend that I can trust here and I only have one back home also after you take away my family. He looked at me confused but I was busy watching the nurse doing something with McCoys IV to question him. I rubbed my head across Nick's head to tell him I am ok. I walked to the Hedgehog and said how is he? Why has he not woken up yet? The hit of the car made him go into a coma but he is alive and healing. It is only time that we need to have. I nodded my head and said I am sorry for the way I act. It is hard not to act on feelings that I have never felt before or how strong that is. Human instincts are at their strongest when we are young, but we teach our young to live our way of life that is similar to this one and our young are raised to ignore it throughout time. The same with our young said the hedgehog. You are feeling the instincts at full force because you did not get used to them one at a time like our young. You stay close to Nick and he will teach you. In fact, you are going to be released from the hospital. You will have a police officer that will be with you at all times. I looked at Nick and said you are an officer right? I saw your badge. Nick said yes I am Officer Nick Wilde. First Fox at the ZPD. I smiled and laughed at him. You seemed proud of yourself. It was because of a little bunny that I was able to stop being a con fox and started to act the way I do today. She helped me and became my partner when I joined the force. She is my best friend.

I said where will I be staying when I get released? Nick said that I have been assigned to stay with you and that equals you staying with me. I looked at him and without thinking I whined. A noise that made me feel so small. Nick rubbed his head on mine and that made me feel safe. It was like he was telling me that it would all be ok and I wanted to believe him even with what I am used to living. I am used to living with people around me hating me. Not trusting me, but Nick trusts me. If anything, I am almost hoping that I am only seeing it but in his eyes, I see that he cares about me and that is something that I have not seen in someone's eyes since I left home when I was 16. Should I believe his trusting eyes? He is a fox just like me and foxes are sneaky cunning little things but I do not see a trick in those eyes at all.
