stops, as the Lion shifts into a massive male with a dark mane and paws bigger than me, and races forward. He bucks Robyn off the little Cheetah, making me yelp at the same time Robyn does, and picks his Mate up by the scruff... Suddenly gentle.

" Oh Goddess... Is he... Is he okay?" Alec asks, his baby blue eyes huge, as he races up to the massive Lion who is laying not even three FEET away from me, and runs a hand through his tangled black hair... Worry and fear clear in the way he bites his lip.

The Lion ignores him, as he bows his giant head, and begins licking fiercely at the Cheetah's tiny head and face... Earning soft chirps from the much smaller male. Timidly, with my body skimming across the floor of the Study, I scoot up to the Lion, trying to hide my trembles and whimpers of fear, and slowly place my tiny paws on his forearm.

" Ravyn!" I hear Niko warn, but I completely just ignore him, and give a small chirp similar to the Cheetah's. His head instantly snaps over towards me, and I lower my head until my chin hits the Lion's leg, flatten my ears, and just wait for him to make the first move.

Once he runs his rough tongue across my forehead, letting me know he doesn't see me at fault, I jump up, my tail wagging wildly, and return the gentle gesture. His purrs echo around the dead silent Study, and I add my own with glee. My first true friend, besides Robyn of course! I'm so happy I have my first friend now!

I hear an enraged snarl from my left, and I turn my head to see Robyn lowered to the ground, his ears flat, tail fluffed up, hackles raised, lips peeled back to reveal his sharp teeth, and, from the look of rage in his coal black eyes, I can tell he is about to pounce.

' Stop it! He wasn't hurting me! He was just playing with me!' I growl to Robyn, causing his gaze to snap to mine, as I push myself away from the Lion, and stalk up to him. He jerks upright instantly, his eyes slowly fading of that terrifying anger, as he plops down on his haunches, and gives a snort.

' I promise you... I wasn't getting hurt... I was just playing.' I respond, weaving in-between his front paws, as he gives another snort, and then leans down. He runs his tongue messily across my head, before he gently nudges me back towards my friend.

" I'm so, so, SO sorry Finn! I had no idea Robyn would freak out so bad! Is... Is Lukah okay?" Alec yelps out, sounding so damned worried, as the Lion, Finn, gives a strange noise, which I think is supposed to be a chuckle, and, with a final lick to Lukah, he sits up, and shifts back.

He pulls on his discarded clothes, running a hand through his hair in the process, as he playfully rustles Alec's hair, and plops back down in the armchair... Crossing his legs.

" I'm fine, Lukah is fine... So don't worry. I'm assuming that's Ravyn's twin? I understand why he got so Protective! I mean, it did kind of look like Lukah was attacking him... I would get Protective too! I'm not mad at him, or you for that matter Al, it happened, it's over, end of story!" Finn says, waving off Alec's worry, as he looks down at me, and flashes a kind smile. I give a small yip, my tail thumping against the floor, and then continue to wrestle and play with Lukah.

' Be careful Rav...' Robyn says softly, making me mentally roll my eyes, as I reply with a small chirp, and then tackle Lukah to the floor. He growls softly, his amber eyes gleaming with mischeif, as he reaches up, grabs my ear in his mouth, and gives a tug on it.

His sharp Cub teeth dig a bit too deep, and I let out a painful yelp. Everyone is on their feet in an instant. Lukah, suddenly worried about my safety, releases my ear, and his eyes get HUGE. I shake my head about, trying to stop the blood that is slowly seeping out of the wound, but I can't get to it with my tongue, and I give up with a whimper.

As soon as that pitiful noise leaves my lips, Robyn races to me, and begins to frantically lick at my tiny wound. I feel the wound begin to finally heel after only a few laps at my ear, and, once I feel it completely heal, I duck away from my very frantic brother.

" Okay... I think that's enough play for today! Shift back Lukah..." Finn says, a nervous chuckle leaving his mouth, as he swoops down, plucks Lukah up off the floor, and places him behind the armchair, with his clothes from earlier.

I hear his bones popping and breaking, before the sound of clothes being pulled on sounds, and, heartbeats later, Lukah appears from behind the armchair... Back in his human form, and dressed in his black ripped skinny jeans, white, over-sized jumper that hangs off one shoulder, and black combat boots.

He shuffles shyly up to Finn, his hands clasped together tightly in front of him, his ears laid flat against his black hair, and his bottom lip caught between his teeth, as he climbs up onto the Lion's lap, and look down at the floor.

" C'mere Baby Boy..." Niko coos softly, kneeling down in front of his desk with my clothes in hand, as I pull myself up onto my paws, and stumble over to him. He picks me up, places me behind his desk, and hands me my clothes. I shift back, pulling on my clothes, before I stand up, run my hand messily through my tangled curls, and walk over to where Lukah sits.

I can hear him sniffling softly, which absolutely shatters my heart, and, without even hesitating, I gather him up in my arms, and squeeze the life out of him. He gives a squeak in surprise, seeming to not expect me to be hugging him, but he eventually recovers from his initial shock, and hugs me back.

" I'm not mad at you Lu... It was just an accident!" I whisper to him, a smile on my face, as he gives a sniffle that also sounds like a giggle, and then we both pull back. We stare at each other for a bit, and then break into a fit of laughter.

" Okay... So, I suppose I should introduce myself! My name is Ravyn James Night, I'm sixteen years old, I love the color pink, I am a Fox-Shifter, duh, and..." I pause, trying to think of something else. " Oh! And this is my best friend ever! Robyn William Night!" I finish with a happy squeal, as I grab Robyn's hand, now that he's back in human form, and tug him into my side.

" Hehe! My name is Lukah Lee Jamison, I'm also sixteen, I love the color pink too, I am a Cheetah-Shifter, and this," He pauses, grabbing Finn's hand. " Is best friend ever!" He finishes with a squeak, earning a deep chuckle from the Lion, as he leans down, presses a kiss to Lukah's temple, and then continues talking to Alec and Niko.

Lukah, Robyn, and myself begin to talk about the most random things in the world, just sitting on the floor between the desk and the chairs, as our Mates all talk about Goddess knows what. After awhile, I feel hunger begin to kick in, and I look to Robyn to see if he is feeling the same.

" Alright... I think it's time we get back home... My Pride can't control itself for very long." Finn chuckles, pulling himself to his feet, as Robyn and myself give a farewell hug to Lukah, and then, once they leave, we turn our attention towards Niko and Alec... Although, what we see, has us cocking our heads to the side with our eyes huge.

Alec has his fangs embedded deep into Niko's left wrist, his baby blue eyes deep crimson with his Bloodlust, as he holds Niko's forearm tightly in his hands, and just sucks the life out of his arm... Quite literally.

" Um... We're... Um... Hungry?" I say, it coming out as a question rather than a statement, as I watch the Feed happen with complete curiosity, and then look away with a deep blush. Feeding for Vampires is quite a private thing... They don't just go around Feeding off each other! It's a very private thing, and not shone in public.

" Take it easy Al... Okay Babe... We'll get you some food when Alexander here is done." Niko says gently, his eyes flickering over to the gulping male, as I give a nod, and just wait for Alec to finish.

After an amazing Dinner of raw chicken, Niko carries me up to his room, and lays me in the bed. He strips down to his boxers, showing of his sculpted body, climbs under the covers, and pulls me into him. I throw my leg over his waist, drape my arm over his shoulders, my other arm pressed snuggly between his chest and mine, and bury my face into his neck.

" Goodnight Baby Boy..." He murmurs gently into my hair, pressing a kiss to my head, as I snuggle even closer, and begin to drift off to sleep.

" Love you Niko..." I mumble... And then, I'm out like a light. Did I just say I loved him? Hm... I guess... I guess I do! Didn't take take that long, but... I hope he loves me back.
