A total of eight year had past since I was taken in by the old man. Eight whole years I spent by his side, treated as an equal. And eight years to see Unique grow from a adorable little girl to a stunning beauty. Absolutely breath taking she was. Unique changed dramatically from this innocent,cute grinning ruff and tumble child to a elegant, striking young lady. Her nappy chestnut hair lengthen out into natural bouncy curls at the end of each locks. All her baby fat melted away leaving a clear cut jaw long, high cheek bones and curves like no other girls I've seen. Yet the one thing that remained the same were her thick black eyelashes that she bat with those bright amber eyes of hers. Like I said breath taking.
As for the old man, he changed as well. His age had finally caught up to him, he began to be unable to do thing he use to do. Such as reach up high or carry things. Slowly he wouldn't be able to walk, nor have the strength to feed himself. He was well aware of it and was I. The only one who didn't or more like didn't want to accept was Unique. Who I still haven't shown my other form. Judging by her actions she was willing to do anything to make him comfortable and healthy. Though nothing worked, she never gave up.

It was late in the night, I was out in the living room poking at the fire. That's was when I heard the old man. " Fox!? " straight away I stood up from my crouching position and head the him. " Yes sir? What is it? "
" Help me to the kitchen please. " extending his arm out to me I took it, hooking it around my shoulders then lifting him up. With a struggle I got a good grip on his waist,still keeping my hand on his as I guided him to the kitchen.
As soon as we entered the kitchen I settled him into a chair at the table. " Is there something you want men to get? " asking him with a censure tone. " The phone. "
" The phone sir? "
" Yes I want to call Unique please... "
" As you wish sir... " not wanted to question I did as he wanted. Grabbing it and stretching the cord so I could hand it to him. After which I huffed out the numbers for me deli. And with in moments, he was talking to his granddaughter. Not leaving him at all, I paid close attention to the things he was saying. And from the sound of it he word where words of a dead man. Like he was saying his final goodbyes. And deep down I knew Unique knew as well. Granite I was unable to her I just knew she knew.
" Alright sweet pea Granddaddy has to go. Goodnight lovely, have sweet dreams and I hope to see you again. " and with that the call was over. Handing me the phone to hand up I kept my eyes to the ground. Hooking the phone on the line I stayed facing the wall. A silence fell suddenly, no noise came from either one of us, just the low autumn breeze that now was chilling to the bone signaling winter was approaching. " Fox... "
" Yes sir? ' in a soft hush whisper I answered him. Nither glancing or turning to look at him. " Can you help an old man to his room? "
" Of course sir. " whirling around and heading to him seeing his already extended arm. In which I grabbed it,wrapping it around my shoulder once again hoisting him up. Letting him put all his weight on me.
The trip to him room was a quite one, not talking or looking at one another. Eventually swinging the door open, and carrying him to his bed. Carefully and gently laying him down on it, helping him get under the covers. " Fox. "
" Hm. ''
" We both know what is coming next. "
" Uh. "
" So I just want to ask you one last thing. "
" And that is sir? "
" Take care of Unique for me will ya. " nodding to his request I headed for the door. Only to hear the sound of on coming footsteps. Loud determined ones for a fact. Quickly changing forms I fluttered upwards and back avoiding get wacked with the door bursting open. And came Unique.
