Squirrel POV (no longer drunk, but we could change that...)

Woah...what just happened?

Someone PLEASE tell me that I'm safe and warm in my bed, and I'm being looked after by my lovely squirrelette, Diamente.

I open my eyes to a different scene.

The female *shiver* vampire *shudder* is standing nearer the mouth of the cave than I am. The male is no-where to be seen; but he was here before.

[It's not that I can smell him, but his shirt is drying on a smooth boulder.]

I guess that we're going to be here a while.

In that case, I have to escape.

I scamper to my feet, and instantaneously feel the pounding headache in my head. Stupid hangover.

Either my sudden intake of breath, or the quiet clicking of my claws trying to get a grip on the slippery rock face must've alerted the female to my awakening.

"Sal?"

Sal?

Really?

I squeak an indignant squeak.

HOW DARE SHE!

I am the manliest squirrel man in the entire manlyverse. I have the manliest tail, the manliest chest, and the manliest manicure ever. (Or I used to...*wails* Noooooooooo... I BROKE A NAIL...)

*Coughs self consciously* Hum. Uh, as I said. I'm perfectly manly...uuummm...

For the first time, I take a good look around the cave.

I've been gently placed in a squirrel shaped dip in a large boulder. Near me, a fire has been coaxed out of the wet logs. In another corner the vampires have piled nuts and berries for me to eat, and a hole filled with water has been carved out of the frozen ground to create a water bowl. Most of the rest of the cave is empty, except for a couple of large boulders that have drying clothes laying on them.

Sadly, though, no wine. *Sigh*

The woman looks up at me when I sigh, and a small smile graces her mouth, and lingers in her eyes. She asks;

"Are you ok?"

Sure I'm ok. You're going to kill me, suck out my blood, and throw my carcass in the stream.

Never felt better. (:-s)

(A/N. Sorry about the short chapter guys, but I really have a great idea for next chapter so I will update ASAP. Hugs and kisses to everyone who has reviewed. To anyone who is freaking out about the squirrel being called 'Sal' DON'T WORRY...

All will be revealed next chapter...

By the way, anyone who reviews will get a few sentences of the next chapter.)
