~Mylo~

A day passed before Eve and Willow came to talk to me, about the situation. Willow whispered," The person that kissed you, is the prince, Augustus the second. It's why the guards were after him, he probably stayed in the market place past an hour.." He's a prince? Not just a noble.. A prince.. kissed me..? It took me a while to think of a reasonable answer..What to do? August wouldn't want some common person... but maybe I could compromise something with August. I knew for a fact that if this was going to work I needed to be assertive, not change it at all, no matter what he said. I told Willow and Eve, that I'd talk to August. I waited almost the whole day, for August to walk into the baker store, I was about to leave when he walked through the door. I waved over at him, and he went to sit by me, as he said," What's up?" I said," It's about the kiss." August said," Did you really not like it that much, I thought we could get past that whole thing." I shook my head, and said," It's not that. As a mef'wa, a kiss is more than just to see if a person is compatiable with you, a kiss unlocks us to dominates.. I know, It's confusing, even for me, but at the end of the year, I want you to choose a mate, you're happy with. It doesn't have to be me..but I want to give this a chance.. So I was wondering if, maybe we could met here once a week.?" August said," Well, this really did jump on us both, so I'll inform my father, as for meeting once a week, we should meet here, in this bakery, perhaps every Friday, at around mid day." I smiled and nodded, as I said," That's perfect!" He didn't ask a lot of questions for which I was thankful..Usually werewolves mate after a week of knowing each other, maybe he believes it is custom for mef'was to wait a year? Being around him, is already balancing my life energy, hopefully he meets with me.

Sleep was hard for me to obtain, every time I fell asleep, I woke other members up with my crying meows. They would wake me, and tell me to stop making noise. The only way I could stop it was by not sleeping. I did almost everything I did before August had kissed me. I blushed a little at the thought. Everything except for fighting, I passed out last time, luckily they were able to hide my cries, ever since I haven't been able to fight the Southies, Eve's orders. It was selfish of me, to mate someone of that status, but it was also selfish of me to not participate in battles. My time with the Raggers got harsh, they would mock or tease me mostly, not like they used too, when I was young and not able to fight, but because I passed out during a battle. They'd be talking about that for a while, I could feel it. I guess, that was how us Raggers showed we cared, we mocked weakness, so one would strive to be strong, but nobody ever told any one when it was okay to cry, they had to figure that on their own, I know I had to. I depended on Eve and Willow, my whole life, I still do. They were the people that brought me up, and raised me as their own. They could have left me to die, but they were like guardians angels, and saved me from a deadly fate. I owe everything to them, so it pains me whenever they say I can not join them when fighting. I worked on repairs on the hide out, polishing weapons, a bunch of miscellaneous chores that needed to be done. When I wasn't working, I was busy with my fighting stance, and seeing how powerful to make my shields.. Next week I want to be able to fight again, with Eve and the other Raggers, in order to do that I needed to know how much energy I could put behind my shield magic. Last time didn't go so well...

Quick note, most of my flashbacks, will be chapters that I originally planned with this story, trust me it took a couple of tries to make this work, they'll also be in 3rd POV/1st POV depending on which previous story plan I had... Fate said that I had to change it, from 3rd POV..So.. xD -=-=-=-

I sighed, today was the day of the battle. Eve, the leader of the Raggers, said," Come on, Mylo. The scouts, Ryan and Ricky had spotted the Southies to the east, let's go." I nodded and followed behind her, with both of my daggers, Dag and Rag at my side. I couldn't help but think of the handsome stranger, August. I wondered why he thought to kiss me, when his servant was right there... I shook my head to erase the thought, it wouldn't matter what he was doing, I would still be here, covered with the spray that covers scent. I looked up to the night sky, thankful that Luna graced us with a half moon, perfect for both being able to sneak around and seeing other people better. The battle went on for hours, not much went on, besides the clanking of blades, both dagger and sword. I was fighting my mortal enemy Vex, another mef'ia that was a couple years older than me, though he did not have as much magical skill as I. We've been fighting ever since we knew that there was another mef'ia on the other team. It's a fun, but very serious time when we battle. Of course, both of us tease the other and take it in stride. We couldn't do that with other people for they're get too annoyed, and while they'd only try to tranquilize him, I'd get killed, so I kind of respect him. I think we could have been great friends in another time, another place. He said," You all have shields, how's that even fair?" I replied," Your group of thieves goes for kills, while ours go for putting you to sleep, and that's more difficult, so I decided to even the playing ground!" Then our daggers clashed again, and again. The Raggers were able to tranquilize most of them, and after that they retreated, of course some were cursing at us, and others were glaring. But all in all, it was a good fight. Now if only I didn't have to use any magic, I would have teased them all for running, but I couldn't think of one, so I just tried to steady myself by the tree. Vex as always had that half smirk, half glare that he'd always give me after his friends were hurt. I smiled and laughed quietly. Just then as the Southies were out of our line of sight, my vision faded to black.

Friday, I was waiting in the bakery, the scent of fresh cinnamon rolls in the air, when August arrived. I waved over at him, beckoning him to sit over at this table with me. When he sat down, August asked," So, what should we call this relationship we have?" I spaced out for a second, confused on what he meant when I finally answered," I want us to be friends with cuddling benefits?" It went out of my mouth before I could even process it. Why did I just say that..? I covered my mouth as I felt a smoldering heat rise within my cheeks. August smiled at me, and said," I like the sound of that." I lowered my hand, and sighed in relief. I'm glad he doesn't think me weird for suggesting something like that, I mean who asks a stranger to cuddle with them? August got up out of his seat and wrapped his arms around me, in a firm embrace. So warm, my eyes closed on instinct, he picked me up and set me down a moment later, I found myself in his lap, his arms around me, it felt really comfortable. August whispered, teasingly," Falling asleep on me?" He chuckled at the end. I opened my eyes and said," I'm not falling.." Before I could even finish denying his claim, a yawn passed through my lips. He said," Why don't you take a nap? I'll be here to wake you up." I stubbornly shook my head, as I said," But I want to learn more about you..." I yawned again, he smiled at me, and said," We have a whole year to learn about each other, you can spend any time we're together sleeping."

~August~

I was late, for my father got a letter, " Your son formed a half bond with me, and so, I give you a year to find other potential mates for him. If you do not find one at the end of the year, then he will be forced to marry me, for the sake of my fellow thieves. He must take responsibility for the way he changed me. ~Sincerely The Thief." My father demanded who I formed a bond with, and I did not give him a name. I had wanted to ask Mylo about the note, but I will learn everything about him over this course of time. Maybe I will want him to be my mate, and maybe I will love another, all I know is that, I will fufill my promise to meet him every week. The poor cat, he doesn't seem to be getting a lot of sleep, I hope it is not my fault. I do not regret my past disicions, I must take them with all the troubles they embark with me. One thing I know not to do, is kiss another mef'wa. He slept soundlessly on my lap, looking at utter peace. The bags under his eyes, has he not been given enough sleep? The way he changed me? What is that suppose to mean? I wonder, when I moved, he started meowing, only when I moved back did he stop. Maybe he never meowed in his sleep before? And It's annoying his family of thieves? I'll have my educator bring back mef'wa books. I want to know more about them, if I am going to give Mylo and I a fair chance.
