Hey all sorry it's been so long since I posted been a lot of things going on hope everyone enjoys the new chapter ok here we go.

*Later that night back in the village*

Rocket made his way to the watering hole when he spotted Koba sitting alone staring at Blue Eyes & the human Angel, Although Rocket himself couldn't understand what the connection between Blue Eyes & this human was he was happy to see his nephew at least smiling again Rocket made his way over to where Koba sat.

"Seem troubled what's wrong?" Rocket signed before sitting next him Koba just shrugged & kept watching the young ape & the human, Ash by now had found his way over to his best friend & both Ash & Blue Eyes were rolling around in a mock fight hooting loud enough for Caesar to look up from where he was eating before he turned his attention back to River

Turning Koba looked at Rocket before signing

"This doesn't make you sick?!" Rocket again followed Koba's gaze frowning a little he asked

"Sick?"

"Blue Eyes & that….. that…human?" Koba could barely get the word out Rocket noted to himself that the very word seemed to make Koba want to throw up

"He happy, what's wrong with that?" Koba almost glared at his friend

"Not ape. He ape should be with ape he had Kali but now he doesn't want her he want that….. thing!" pointing to Angel

"I know but this is a phase, in time Blue Eyes will be with ape but perhaps not Kali. I saw Domino grooming him yesterday, maybe he'll be with her their close in age"

Although Rocket understood Koba's hate for humans didn't share it despite he himself suffering years of torment from a handful of humans Rocket had let go of his anger & he was happy he had such a weight off of his shoulders if he hadn't he'd never would have met his mate & had Ash.

"hum" was all Koba said before stalking off

Before long supper was over & the apes started to start getting ready to end their days making their ways to their huts most but not all that is Java Linx Ash Kali & Blue Eyes were still busy play fighting with Angel watching on laughing as Blue Eyes had got himself pinned for the tenth time by Java

"Give up yet?" Java asked while strutting past a flustered Blue Eyes

"I let you win as you are female, be unfair if I didn't" Blue Eyes stated matter of factly

"That's what you used to say when I beat you!" Ash said pointing & laughing & with that Blue Eyes once again lunched himself at Ash causing the both of them end up in the watering hole thus ending the game after bidding their goodnights to one another Blue Eyes ushered Angel towards the huts on seeing Caesar & Cornelia Angel hovered by the door Blue Eyes looked at her with his head cocked to the side before turning to look at his parents & younger brother smiling warmly Cornelia looked at her mate letting out a small sigh Caesar nodded his head he knew his son would just find somewhere else to sleep if he didn't allow her to stay at least under his roof perhaps he could keep a more watchful eye on the young two sum Blue Eyes held out his hand & waited for Angel to take it Angel looked about nervously but still took Blue Eyes' hand River came over to her pulling her by the arm to come & sit by him.

"Thank you"

Angel said so quietly Caesar almost missed it he fixed the female human with a gentle yet stern look

"Tonight you sleep here, tomorrow….. You can help Maurice"

Angel was puzzled but said nothing looking to Blue Eyes who gave her a small nod.

After saying goodnight to his parents & brother Blue Eyes led Angel to his part of the hut & they settled for the night

*Later that same night*

Caesar lay there unable to sleep so making sure not to wake Cornelia went to check on his sons & saw Blue Eyes & Angel sleeping close together with River a little way off from them making his way out he saw the only fires still burning where those just at the start of their village hearing someone behind him he turned to see Cornelia

"Did I wake you?" Caesar asked in a low voice was too dark to sign but he could just about make out her shaking her head no

"Why awake?" she asked waiting for him to answer Caesar let out a deep breath gathering his thoughts

"Thinking about Blue Eyes, worried about him, others are not as understanding about why he has chosen human over ape." Cornelia rested her head on Caesars shoulder she hated the fact he was so stressed but she too was worried

"Everything will be fine he is young remember how you were at his age?"

smiling more to himself Caesar turned to his mate she always knew how to make him feel better when he was stressed resting his forehead against hers he breathed her in.

"Now come, you need to sleep" & before he could argue he found himself being taken by the hand following her the two made their way to the bed & Caesar was soon sound asleep

*Next Morning *

The day started later than normal well at least to Angel it seemed too Angel followed both Caesar & Blue Eyes down to where aped had gathered to eat breakfast Caesar stopped when he saw Maurice who gave him a puzzled look

"Human can help you today if you need her" Maurice gave a small nod before making his way to get food for himself

"What you doing today?" Angel asked Blue Eyes who looked up at her then handed her some grapes

"Hunting" he signed while looking over to where Ash was

"You & Ash?" Angel asked Blue Eyes shook his head then pointed to where Koba was sat

"Oh" She didn't understand why Koba hated her so much but she knew better than to ask if she could go alone with them Ash came over to where Angel was sat with Blue Eyes greeting her in his ever friendly manner Kali still a little less friendly with the human also greeted her before she saw River making his way over to them

"Father says I also get to go with you" Blue Eyes gave his brother a nod

"Ready your weapon we leaving soon, Ash are you coming also" Ash nodded & he too went to find his spear turning to Angel

"Don't worry Maurice will take care of you,father wants you to help him teach"

Angel let out a small chuckle

"Me….Teach that's gonna end well huh?" Blue Eyes looked at her pulling her close to him

"I'll be back soon" with that he went to join River Koba Ash & a handful of other young males & went out for the hunt.
