OMG I'm soooooo sorry! I kept meaning to write but I am such a procrastinator! And I had about half of a chapter written and my friend was like, "Why haven't you updated? It's been a month and a half!" So I just decided to update what I had done and split the chapter in half-ish. Sorry! I'll try to finish the next chapter as soon as I can!

Feli and Matthew sat in the park, watching the sunset. The angle of the sun lent an orange fire to the clouds, while simultaneously adding a lavender glow to the sky. Matthew sighed and rested his head against Feli's shoulder. Feli smiled. At that moment, he felt as though they were the only two people in the world. This thought sparked another, a smirk, and a comment.
"So, Matthew… you were going to tell me something? There's nobody around."
Matthew sat up and cursed under his breath.
"I- I don't know if I can tell you. I don't want you to- to run away or something. And I don't know if you would believe me anyways."
"Matthew… you can tell me anything. I promise, I'll listen to whatever you have to say, and I'll believe you. Please."
"A-alright… just please… try to understand… okay. What did you want to know?"
"Well, why do you have a polar bear? And why don't people see you?"
"Okay. Here goes… so, you know countries, right? Well, around the world, for every country, there's a… representative… who sort of… actually is the country. Well, I am one."
Feli gasped.
"I'm sure you think I'm crazy now."
Feli shook his head.
"What country are you?"
Matthew was surprised at how quickly this human accepted this fact, but answered the question anyways.
"I'm Canada. That's why I have a polar bear, and love pancakes, and…"
Feli's eyes widened. Canada? But- but he's super dangerous! This must have all been a plot to capture me or get information or something! I should have known!
Feli bolted. He ran out of the park, down the street, turned left, right, right, down an alley, and by the time he realized he wasn't being pursued, he was utterly, hopelessly lost.

So, again, I'm sooooooooooo sorry about not updating! I'll try to focus on it when I have free time!
