Okay so there's going to be some new characters in this chapter. Also, a slight Yaoi warning.
Aaron's POV:
The sirens went off that day. There was an attack in a small town called Larkswood, luckily Lindsey wasn't called in only Mei and me. When we got there we saw most of the houses up in flames. Luckily mostly everyone was outside and followed protocol.
"Is everyone here?" Astrial called out, causing all the people's commotion to stop. A man stepped out of the crowd and called back, "Not everyone! We can't foind Camy, Suave or Beanie." Astral's eyes widened and called out some orders so fast that I couldn't quite catch what he said. Fortunately John was in the same group as me I asked him.
"He ordered us to look for them in one of the buildings. He said most likely in the bar or something." We walked around until we found the bar that read Beanie's, which was burned inside and outside. It looked like a giant flame. We carefully walked in and looked around for any sign of life.
"Nothing here!" John called out.
"Same!" Mei yelled.
I was about to call out until I heard some coughing and whispering. "Who's there?" I asked as I carefully walked through the employees only room. I quickly pulled my pistol out in case of any attack.
"It's okay Beanie, someone's gonna come. You'll see, so will Suave." I looked over to find an old man and spider hybrid in a wheelchair along with a small cat and human hybrid who one side of his face was bandaged. "Are you Beanie, Camy, or Suave?" I asked cautiously, the wolf hybrid widened his eye and held his hands up.
"Please don't hurt us! Suave said he would pay back! Don't hurt Beanie here either." I lowered my pistol and put it away and held my hands out to show that I meant no harm. "It's okay. It's okay, I'm one of Astrial's troops. I'm here to help."
The young man sighed but started coughing because of the smoke. "Th-thank you so much! I'm Camy and this here is Beanie. Suave is out in the woods. Thank you for helping us." I smiled and called out to the others to show that I found someone.
I instantly ran to Beanie and started moving his wheelchair which I noticed got stuck between one of the floorboards that was broken. "I'll help", I heard Camy say as he helped move the wheelchair. Beanie started coughing violently and started wheezing with every breath.
I also looked over at Camy who started doing the same. I wasn't affected since I was a fire type. He looked very weak as if he would pass out at any moment. I gave a loud whistle as Mei, John, and a few others like Violet and Oak.
Violet, and John helped Beanie while Mei and I helped Camy. Oak went to look for anyone else. We quickly ran out of the building and waited outside. Everyone else had come over just in case.
"Is everyone here now?" I turned to Astrial, "We just need to wait for Oak. Is Suave here?"
"He's coming", Cypher responded back. The building kept burning, I looked at my comrades and noticed how desperate Violet was. "He needs to get out of there." She whispered before shouting.
"Oak! Oak! Get out of there now!" We saw him coming out from the employees only room and trip over the same broken floorboard that Beanie got stuck in. "Oak!" Violet yelled again. He stood up and desperately tried getting out.
His face full of despair was the last thing I saw before the flames took over the entire house as it burned down completely with Oak in it. Violet started crying as she ran near the house and stood in front of it wordlessly. "V-Violet are you okay-" someone asked her before being interrupted with her screams.
"MY OLLIE! WHY!?" She collapsed to the ground sobbing and I put my hand on her shoulder, she flinched. And stood up with a serious face on and wiped her tears, "It's okay. I'm fine now, he earned an honorable death by saving someone."
She walked back to the group and whispered something to our General which they nodded and said something back. Violet walked into the woods before another young man ran out of it.
"Camy! Beanie!" He ran as fast as he could and so did Camy as he good as was able to. Though he started slightly wobbling before Suave ran and caught Camy in his arms. Suave started crying and hugged him close too close for my taste. Was it just me or was he-
Suave gave him a peck on the forehead. Well that answered my question. Camy noticed this and started blushing, "W-well I guess this is quite unexpected for you guys. Mei and Aaron right? Astrial has told me all abour you two, even Lindsey."
I nodded and smiled then looked at Suave, black hair tan skin and grey eyes. He glared at me and groaned, "Ugh. I kbow what you're gonna say. I'm a human that's married to a hybrid but not only that but I'm gay!" I shook my head, "No that's not what I was thinking at all!"
Camy stood in front of both of us and sighed, "Suave. What have we talked about?" Suave calmed down and sighed, "Well I'm sorry. I'm just a little frustrated that someone almost killed my wife and business partner." Camy stopped and glared at him, his small cat ears shot straight up.
"Did you just say wife?" Suave scratched his head then replied, "No." Camy glared at him and started talking in his language to him. After this Suave's face changed to scared and pale when Camy asked him. "So you got that?" He nodded quickly, "Y-yeah!"
Camy then turned to me and sighed, "I'm sorry about that and I didn't even give you a proper introduction! My name was actually Cameron Cane, but now since I'm married I'm Cameron La'Farqua. But everyone calls me Camy." I nodded, "Thank you for the info but do you know anything about what or who burned everything?"
His gaze fell to the ground, "It's him. It's really him. He's going to come back! He's coming for me!" Camy started hyperventilating, he then started laughing sounding like an insane person. His pupil started forming the black slits you find in a cat's eye. Mei and I slowly backed a way, just a bit. Suave noticed this and sighed sadly.
Suave stood in front of him and bent down on one knee."Camy? Camy Cane? Are you there? Remember, it's over. It's all over..." Camy started mumbling again quietly but I was lucky enough to catch a few words.
"He's coming! He's coming back for us! For her, S-Suave!" The taller man hugged him close and Camy breathed in then out resting his hand on his husband's shoulder before turning to face us. Ge calmed down, "I-I'm sorry. I-I just started panicking. Hehe." He gave us a smile and put his hand over where the left half of his face was bandaged.
"Why don't we take everyone to the salvation centers?" Astrial pointed out and smiled nervously as everyone agreed to it. He let Cypher lead and walked with Camy, Suave, Beanie and me. "Camy did you really see him?" General Astrial asked gently to the cat hybrid who nodded.
"He said he would come after you. And come back for my other eye." Suave narrowed his eyes, "Well we won't let them do it! Righ Beanie?" It was the first time I actually remembered him.
"We 'ure 'ill! 'Ight 'strial?" Astrial nodded and spoke gently, "You can count on us Beanie. And by the way where do the birds fly Beanie?" The old spider hybrid had one arm sticking straight up yo the sky.
Suave smirked, "Where are the clouds at Beanie?" His arm kept pointing to the sky. Camy continued, "Where do the planes fly?" Arm still pointed up they all started laughing except me. "Excuse me I'm sorry but, I dont get it?"
Astrial smiled and pulled me aside, "Okay so look. Beanie has a type of condition where one of his arms sticks up no matter what. He can't put it down."
"Ohhh. Okay what about Camy and Suave? Do they have a condition or something?" Astrial thought for a moment and sighed smiling sadly. "Well Suave is kinda fine but Camy. Well, let's just say he's lost some of his sanity and his eye."
"Oh okay." I decided to walk with Camy and Beanie who was asleep. His arm still stuck up pointing to the sky. "I'm sorry about your eye." Camy smiled," Don't worry. It's not as bad as it looks."
"Well that's goo-"
"It's a lot worse." He interrupted suddenly. I sighed, "Okay then!" Camy nodded then suddenly after a few moments of silence said, "I can show it to you if you want?" I was debating in my head what to say until all that came out was...
"Okay!?" Camy smiled," Okay then. Prepare for the cringe." He slowly and gingerly unwrapped the bandages and showed me his entire face. One side perfect flawless with a bright green eye while the other. "Pretty bad isn't it?" I slowly nodded and he started chuckling to himself which I later learned that he was giggling.
"Well, even if it really is this bad. I think of Suave who helped me get through this." I smirked, "So you and Suave huh?" He blushed and giggles nervously. "Hehe. Yeah, but as Suave once said when he was drunk. We're as straight as spaghetti."
I started laughing at his joke when he joined along too and stopped when Beanie woke up and said.
"Straight 's 'aghetti eh? Ell' I'm 's 'oung as a 'aby."
