Chapter 4: The first night
As they walked out the house, a blast of icy wind hit them and Carla started to shiver and she got closer to Happy, their fur brushing together. Carla sighed happily quietly and Happy blushed at how close she was. Carla smiled as Happy's unnatural body heat warmed her up swiftly. As they walked together, Carla started to notice features about Happy she never saw before. The way he walked had a brave and courageous look about it, his muscles were clearly defined yet they didn't show, his body seemed to have a dim orange glow about it which revealed the Fire Magic he had always possessed, his posture showed his confidence in himself, and some other features. Carla got closer to Happy, their arms touching as they walked. Both Happy and Carla blushed a deep red. Happy looked up at the sky and meowed, "We have a little longer before the night comes. We should find a place to rest soon Carla." Carla nodded her head, "I agree. Let's go find a place to stop for the night." They ran down the road, looking left and right as they did. Carla saw something in the bushes move. She meowed, "Happy. Take a look in the bushes." Happy nodded and looked around. He saw several dark pelts and sighed, "I think it's the rest of the pack that the wolves I killed belonged in. Since I took out the Alpha Male, they either want to rip me apart piece by bloody piece, they believe I am the new Alpha Male, or something else entirely! I hope they are friendly. Otherwise, if they attack, Carla" He looked at her and continued, "I want you to run as fast as you can to safety. Promise me Carla! Promise me that." Carla's eyes started to water and she shook her head, "No. I will not." Happy sighed and said, "Carla. Please, I don't want anything to ever happen to you." Carla looked into his eyes. His eyes showed her that he cared about her safety and actually didn't want anything to happen to her and his eyes showed the upmost concern and worry for her safety. Her eyes watered more and a few tears slid down her face like a slow moving stream. "Okay, fine, but you have to promise me something as well!" She said with determination in her voice. Happy smiled weakly and said, "Anything. What is it?" Carla said, "You have to promise me you won't die if they do attack and I leave!" Happy smiled more, "I promise." Carla smiled weakly and said, "Alright. I promise I will leave if they attack." Happy said, "That's a relief to hear. Thank you Carla." They kept walking and the black pelts followed them, but they showed no sign of attacking.
They came upon a cave after 10 more minutes of walking. Happy and Carla ran towards it and got inside. Happy willed the magic in him and his paw ignited in controlled flames. The fire from Happy's paw lit up the cave and they were able to see. "We need wood for a fire to be able to see and stay warm, but I didn't bring a hatchet or an axe. How are we going to get wood for the fire?" Happy said aloud. Carla meowed, "Happy. Your body is heat enough. Trust me on that." Happy chuckled lightly and said, "Fair enough Carla, but we still need to be able to see." Carla nodded, "Okay. Alright Happy. Shall we go out together?" Happy shook his head, "No, you need to dry and change into a different dress because the one you are wearing right now is nothing but shreds practically from what happened in the Guild Hall. I am sure you don't want me to see anything in case it rips more." Walks over to her and stays close to warm her up faster. "Alright. Good point Happy, you make a very good point." Carla meowed and purred lightly as Happy's body heat dried her quickly. "Go get some wood for the fire Happy, I will change." She said. Happy nodded and walked out of the cave quietly. As soon as he walked out, a wolf with a black and brown pelt sat in front of the cave. Carla noticed this. "What in the world?!" she meowed quietly. I guess the wolves do think of Happy as the Alpha Male now, that or they want to help us. Either way, I am grateful they aren't trying to hurt us. She remembered something on how wolves find out who the Alpha's were and she gasped. "I just remembered wolves decide who the Alphas are by a fight to the death for both Males and Females! Happy did kill the Alpha Male, but he obviously isn't a wolf! So, do the wolves think he is the Alpha Male now?" She took a breath and continued, "I haven't seen an Alpha Female though. D-Did the previous Alpha Male not have a mate, has the Alpha Female decided to not show herself, or did he mate whatever Female he wanted?! If the previous Alpha Male did mate whatever Female he wanted, than I am glad he was killed. You should find a mate and stay with them until they mess up several times over or if they cheat on you!" She exclaimed. Have I not been attacked yet because Happy told them not to somehow? Have I not been attacked because I am friendly to Happy? Have I not been attacked yet because they think I am Happy's mate, if the rule that killing the Alpha of your gender in a fight to the death applies to Happy because he isn't a wolf, and that means I am the Alpha Female? She blushes at the thought. Why am I even thinking like that?! Those are all good thoughts as to why I haven't been attacked, but why did I think that they haven't attacked me because they think I am Happy's mate, if the rule that killing the Alpha of your gender in a fight to the death applies to Happy because he isn't a wolf, and that makes me the Alpha Female?! She blushes more. Stop thinking about it! I am Happy's friend, and I will stay that way! They probably haven't attacked because they want to help us! She remembered that Happy might have some problems if the wolves think he is the Alpha Male. Especially if the Male wolves want to challenge him to become the new Alpha. She took her dress off, which was quite literally torn to shreds and she was amazed it even stayed on her without revealing anything beneath, and walked to the bag she had brought and Happy had carried, which was about 5-15 lbs., and opened it. She grabbed a white dress with a blue skirt on it. She put it on and waited for Happy to get back.
Happy walked into the woods to find some sticks he could use to make the fire. As he walked, he looked around for the black pelts of the wolves. He saw nothing. He smiled and thought Good, they know I can't be the Alpha Male. That's definitely good. So they just want to help. My bet is because they are grateful that I killed the Alpha Male maybe, that or they just want to get Carla and me killed. He keeps walking until he finds a large pile of sticks of varying sizes. "Good, I found some sticks for the fire." He said and walked over to the pile. He put quite a few sticks onto his arms and he carried some with his tail. He used his Aera magic and his 2 Aera wings appeared, yet they appeared to be on fire. He flew back to the cave where Carla was waiting. When he arrived, he was shocked to see that one of the wolves was guarding the cave entrance. Happy landed and started to walk to the cave entrance. When he got close, the wolf moved and let him in. Happy nodded his thanks, and was shocked when the wolf nodded back and opened its mouth as to speak, but closed it again. Happy walked into the cave and to Carla. Carla heard Happy approach and she smiled. "Welcome back Happy. Did you find enough sticks?" she said. Happy nodded, "Yes, I did, but now I need to find stones to make the campfire as well." He meowed. Carla nodded and asked, "Can I go with this time? I changed my clothes and dry now." Happy nodded and said, "I don't see why not." Carla smiled and got close to Happy to stay warm. As they walked out of the cave, they saw no wolves. "Guess they left." Happy meowed. Carla nodded. Happy got closer to Carla to protect her in case they got attacked. They walked a little while before they found any rocks to make the campfire. They walked back, Carla carrying 3 medium-sized rocks and Happy carrying 7 medium-sized rocks. They walked back to the cave. They walked into the cave and set the stones down. Happy picked up the stones and placed them in a circle. He set some of the sticks into a teepee shape and put some pine needles and such underneath the teepee. His eyes seemed to be made of fire as he set his left paw on fire and placed it into the teepee. The pine needles and stuff immediately ignited in flames. Carla, who instead of getting close to the fire, got closer to Happy. Happy blushed a slight red. "How are we going to sleep?" He asked. Carla smiled and meowed, "Well, since the cave is cold and I don't want to get close to the fire in case I get set on fire, I guess I have to sleep close to you." She was blushing a deep red as she finished. Happy sighed, while blushing, and said, "I guess so Carla." Carla nodded and got closer to Happy. Their tail tips were touching now. They both were blushing a deep red. As the Sun set, they just enjoyed each other's company. When darkness hit the two Exceeds, they finally decided to sleep. Happy fell asleep on one side of the cave and Carla tried to fall asleep on the other side. She couldn't for some reason. She stood up and quietly walked to Happy. She laid down next to him and cuddled up close to him, his tail instinctively wrapped around her in a protective way. She soon fell asleep with a smile on her face.
