Eagle Crest Hallows [2]

Indigo

I cautiously head towards the door, glancing at Master and Mistress before noticing the couple at the door. My eyes scan over them and I dismiss the threat, allowing Zoey, who is now intently sniffing their shoes, to further investigate them. Huffing a sigh, I take Master's shoe in my jaws and curl up in a corner, chewing on it as I watch the interaction at the door.

The woman seems genuinely joyous about the Little Masters, but I still get up and lay before the crib protectively.

Lost them once. Won't lose them again. Wait...

I remember the second child being taken and look at Master, who is standing by Mistress now.

Hey, was Little Mistress returned? I ask him in his mind.

He ignores me and I growl, sitting back and barking to get his attention.

Rayah

I smiled, happy to see her again. "Yeah, Twins." I said, running a hand through my hair. "Jace, remember Kelly?"

Indigo

Master nods, "How could I forget?"

I growl, impatient, and jump up on the arm of the couch. I peer into the crib and find Little Mistress alongside Little Master. Sighing, I lose my balance and fall into the crib beside them. I grunt and try to get back out, frustrated.

Hands wrap around my torso and I freak out, nipping at them. I'm set back on the floor and find that it was just Master, who walks back to join the group of humans. I growl and pick up the shoe again, gnawing it.

Zoey

I shift back to human and join the humans as I smile at the new couple.

"This is Zoey." Rayah introduces. The girl reaches her hand out and I stare at it, unsure what to do.

Shake it....Rayah says in my mind.

I hesitantly shake it, unsure what it's meant for.

Pharaoh Draco

I looked at the one called Zoey. When I heard the name, I thought of Redbird. Seeing this other person proved me otherwise. "Hello there."

Kelly Myers

When I heard Zoey I instantly thought of Redbird back homeor back at the house, I look to Pharaoh and I can see it in his look that he was thinking the same thing as I was. I look back to Zoey and hands with her. I look back at Rayah, and then remember she hasn't met Pharaoh.

"Oh and this is Pharaoh, he's my boyfriend." I said.

Rayah

I smile and nod politely at Pharoah. "Nice to meet you. Pharoah, this is my husband Jace." I said, grabbing Jace's hand.

"You guys wanna meet Logan, Riley and Indigo?"

Indigo

I study the couple before taking all my emotion out on the shoe. I grunt and sit up, watching Master shake the man's hand. My name is mentioned and I perk my ears, wondering what's happening.

Zoey

I glance at Indigo and walk over to him, sitting against the wall next to him. "Sorry." I whispered, glancing back at the talking two couples.

Indigo

I look at Zoey, confused.

What are you apologizing for?

Zoey

I shrug, flashing a smile.

For...Kinda rejecting you...

Indigo

I study her before looking back at the couple.

You didn't reject me. You didn't exactly look like you wanted anything to happen, but you didn't reject me.

Zoey

I...Was thinking about it. I kinda wanted to but didn't know...

I stopped myself from saying anything more and I looked away.

Nevermind.
