Ambush
Man highschool is easy when you've got the entire student body cheering some of your skill set. Even if it's only for soccer and nothing else, at least no one calls me a freak. Albtross thinks to himself as he gets dressed inside the locker room.
Albotross has made it to highschool now, even with the teasing he got while growing up. He is now seventeen years of age and a junior, or eleventh grade, student. He's the goalie for his school varsity soccer team. He's thought about joining other teams, but decides against it since he doesn't want to overwork himself. He still trains with Sly in the mornings, but then he has to run to morning practice, and classes start shortly after that.
Most of his team mates like hanging around him, except when Carmelita comes around. The only one who doesn't mind his mom is his best friend Helion.
Albotross is dating the head cheerleader, Arisa, and he likes her unlike the other girls he has has a slim figure with an A cup bra size, her hips lead to a supple waist line, and her hair is a silvery white. She usually is wearing a pair of light brown skin tight jeans and sleeveless top with either his letter man jacket or her own sweater. She's a bit pushy though, even for a mouse, and tries getting him to use his status as a star player to get freebies. Things like getting kids to do his homework so he has free time to go out with her. he usually joins the study groups that she tries hiring to do their homework, making her study too. leaving the school grounds with his senior teammates, which he usually declines so he can read his fathers old texts.
He's not like how she's trying to portray him, whenever the chance rises he usually corrects what the little mouse has done to try and damage his reputation as a good kid.
Kittrina is on the volleyball team, she has the meanest spike and no one can stop it. She has grown up well figured, a nice average body, not to thin and not to thick. A full D cup bra size and wide hips, usually dressed in a blue midriff halter top shirt with straps wrapped around her back on a ringlet holding her top up, and a pair of navy blue skin tight knee length jeans. She's dated nearly a dozen guys already, so much so that Albotross stopped naming them and just calls them punching bags. Mostly because each one always, in the end, wanted one thing, he hates how guys just see her as a piece of meat. The last one ended up getting off with a warning and a broken fist for trying to punch her when she dumped him.
As for the ones she turns down, they should be glad his mother's the Interpol commissioner, otherwise they'd all be in hospital beds for harrasing her at the house. He heads out of the locker room and to the front after the last game of the season.
Kittrina is waiting for him in his car. Arisa jumps him from behind and kisses his cheek but glowers at Kittrina.
"Why is she here, I thought we were going to my place tonight for some alone time." She whispers to him, he caresses her arm. "Babe relax, maybe some other time but tonight my folks want me home for some reason, that's the only reason she's here." He says kissing the back of her hand.
Arisa huffs but starts off to his car as Kittrina gets out of the drivers seat and hops in the back. Arisa gets in the passenger seat and Albotross gets in last. He puts the gear in drive and punches it to Arisa house.
He drops her off and gives her a kiss before she leaves. Kittrina gets in the passenger seat, and says, "You know she's only dating you to get in your pants right?"
He shrugs, "If she is then she's gonna wait for a long time. I'm not easy on anything except the eyes." He says with a laugh as they drive home. Kittrina laughs with him, "That has to be the dumbest line I've ever heard Alby."
They get home and Carmelita is outside the door waiting for them. He gets out after parking it and helps Kittrina out as her tails tend to get stuck. He walks up to Carmelita who hugs him and ushers him inside with Kittrina. "So how was the game son, make any good plays?" Sly asks as he enters the kitchen for his plate of dinner. Albotross puts it in the microwave.
"One play is really worth mentioning I think. So the ball was kicked to center of the goal right, I catch it simple enough. I get ready to punt it back out when I see a clear line to the other goal, I take a chance and punt it directly at the goal, I make it dead center of the goal because the other goalie is having a quick stomach bug. Now I feel bad for the guy but seriously I've never kicked the ball clear across the field like that. I feel so pumped just thinking about it!" He says as he grabs his now hot plate from the microwave, he sits at the table as Sly comes behind him and claps him on the gives him a kiss on the cheek then heads off to the twins room.
Four years back Carmelita found out she was pregnant while on a case. She and Sly were so excited that they were finally having kids of their own that for a good few weeks Albotross and Kittrina were fending for themselves.
Carmelita and Sly were so sorry about that, that now they never leave them alone at home. Which is also why Albotross and Kittrina took to sports, some freedom and something to do while Sly and Carmelita are at work or taking care of the twins.
They named the boy Conner to honor Sly's dad, he's a foxcoon mix, with a red fur coating. His ears and secondary fur color is black, which gives him a bit of a dare devil look that he takes to heart like when he jumps at anyone at his room door over a road of toys.
The girl is a full raccoon her fur just turning black around her paws and ears. She has real flexibility and has already mastered a move in the Theivius Raccoonus. The roll move, which she uses to surprise Albotross and Kittrina when they're sleepy in the morning.
They usually need to be checked on if their asleep since they have their fathers tendency to disobey when they feel like it. A jump noise from upstairs signaled that their awake. Everyone gets a troubled face cause they know how Carmelita is with rule breakers, no matter how small.
A knock at the door disturbs them, Helion's outside beaten and bruised. Albotross goes to help Kittrina bring him in, "What heck happened?" He asks as Sly brings Carmelita with a basin and wraps in his arms.
Helion pants out, "Me and some of the guys got jumped a couple blocks back. I got here but I don't know what happened to the rest of them. Can you please go see what's happened to them. Please man." He coughs as Albotross sniffs then growls, "Mom I'm going out for a minute!" And heads out before anyone argues.
He finds everyone laughing it up a few blocks away. He growls at them all and they turn at the sudden sound, but get cocky when they see its just him.
"The prodigal son arrives. Did you receive our prize for wining the game?" The tallest asks, as he widens his stance. "And what if I did?" He asks as he sizes them all up, half guys here he knew from the team. "So this is how you celebrate, you beat on your own team mate, a guy you trust on the field?" He asks as they circle him, he stands his ground. He braces as he feels them right behind him.
"What if it is wolf boy, come to do something about it?" The one behind him asks as he shoves Albotross. He doesn't move, instead he simply says, "Maybe I did, but I have one question, why, if you all have a beef with me, then why not confront me about it?" He asks as they all laugh like he told a joke. One in front of him says, "Why, because your a fucking freak who hogs the attention, that kick today, that's why we beat him, cause we know if we beat you after the game we'd be kicked off the team, but now we can do as we please since the seasons over. Now we gonna pummel you, and show you who's better!" He says before he tackles Albotross.
Albotross catches him before the kid makes contact, picks him up, flips him over mid air and slams him on the ground. Another comes from behind and holds his arms in a lock. Albotross crouches then leaps a good six feet up before he leans back and uses the kid holding him as a landing pillow, "Thanks for having a bushy tail squirrel boy," he says as he rolls off him.
A third and fourth kid run him and take him to the ground, he kicks them off with ease and they land on top of the squirrel kid. The rest jump on him and manage to hold him down on the ground. "Not so tough now are you little pup." One of them says, another comes up and kicks him in the side, he grunts in pain but doesn't give them the screams they want to hear.
They keep beating him for another minute or so before sirens blare and they run. He stays on the ground for a few minutes waiting for the pain to pass, officers and Carmelita come up to him and help him up. "Baby who did this to you?" She asks as she checks his injuries.
He can tell a few bones are broken and his heads gonna be ringing for a couple of hours, but he manages to point at the four on the ground and say, "About another eight or so pinned me and ran off down the street as the sirens started." He tries getting up but yelps in pain as his leg is injured too.
At least the idiots were smart enough to cripple me for now, unlucky for them I'm a fast healer and have their scent. I'll track them down later though. He thinks to himself as Carmelita helps him into an ambulance.
He gets to the hospital where doctors say he'll be walking in a few weeks, he has three broken ribs, and only minor contusions on his head. They bandage his ribs and leg, then give him some pills to help the ringing and put him to sleep. Falling asleep he can't help but wonder why they had Arisa's scent on them.
