Chapter 35: Chapter 33
Fenris could feel herself being stirred from her deep sleep by a constant shaking. Cracking an eye open she noticed she was on her stomach and the shaking was coming from her side.
"Come onnnn. Wake up Fenris! You said we could go get the supplies for the kit. We're still getting it today, right?"
Chuckling Fenris peeked over at Annabelle who had such a cute pout on her face. Quickly Fenris grabbed Annabelle and pulled her under herself, trapping her against the mattress.
"Yes we are still getting all the supplies today. I even told my parents about the kit and they gave us some extra money so we don't have to worry." Fenris said, while kissing Annabelle's cheek.
Giggling Annabelle pushed Fenris off herself and stood up stretching, her tank top coming up to reveal her cute tummy, and booty shorts looking more like underwear showing off her curves. Since their date and having slept together almost naked, Annabelle has slowly become more comfortable with wearing more revealing clothes. Fenris was happy Annabelle was feeling safe around her in this way, and so she too wore more revealing clothes like just her boy shorts and sports bras.
Sitting up Fenris stared at Annabelle's body, not focused on anything else, till she realized Annabelle was snapping her fingers in her face.
Shaking her head to clear it Fenris looked up at her and smiled. "What?"
"I said I told Mary about the kit and her and Ray wanted to help pick out some of the items. We haven't all hung out in a while so I told them that would be fine, but they can't be here when we transport the kit over."
"Okay that's fine with me. Why can't they be here when he gets here though?"
"He'll be in a new environment, he needs time to settle in." Annabelle explained, putting on a blue t-shirt and jeans. "They'll be here any minute so get dressed."
Fenris got off the bed and stretched out her stiff shoulders and wings, then quickly pulled on some pants. Looking all over Fenris couldn't find her oversized hoodie, she needed it if they were going to be going out.
Fenris could hide her wings without going through that gruesome process each month, but the only way to do that is bind her wings and wear a hoodie. Doing so however is very uncomfortable so she tries to avoid situations where she would have to.
"Annabelle have you seen my oversized hoodie?" Fenris called out, searching through the drawers.
"I think it's on my side of the bed."
"Why is it on her side of the bed?" Fenris mumbled to herself, but sure enough it was under Annabelle's pillow.
Grabbing the bandages Fenris pressed her wings to her back and bound them to her body making sure to get her shoulders so the tops wouldn't pop out. Moving around a bit Fenris tested to make sure that she could still move and her wings weren't losing blood flow before she put the hoodie on. It felt stiff but didn't hurt so she threw on her hoodie, tucking in the tips of her wings, and went out to the living room.
No sooner had she stepped out of the bedroom then their front door had been nearly torn off it hinges by none other than Ray, with Mary right behind him.
"Fenny I haven't seen you in forever!" Ray yelled upon seeing Fenris. Running up to her he picked her up and squeezed her in a tight hug. "We need to hang out more often. I miss my best friend."
This made Fenris feel awful, she loved Ray like a brother and since she meet Annabelle they hadn't hung out like they usually had. Annabelle had even told her to go visit Ray, but Fenris had put it off wanting to spend time with Annabelle and saying she saw Ray at school. Now hearing Ray say he missed her made Fenris realize how terrible of a friend she was being, and to her only friend whose family had become hers.
Fenris hugged Ray back. "I'm sorry. I'm being a terrible friend."
Putting her down Ray stepped back and stared at her wide-eyed. "You hugged me. You hardly ever hug. I can count on one hand the number of times you have hugged me back."
"What are you talking about? Fenris is a hugger and cuddler." Annabelle said confused, walking over to Fenris after saying hello to Mary, and Mary walking to stand next to Ray. Fenris immediately put an arm around Annabelle and pulled her close.
"You are telling me that Fenris willingly hugs you?"
"Yeah. She's always asking for a hug or to cuddle." Annabelle answered, making Fenris blush.
"I know you're her mate and everything but, I don't know. It's hard to picture her being, soft?"
"I'm not soft." Fenris growled at Ray.
"See this is what I'm used to." Ray exclaimed, pointing at Fenris while looking back and forth between Annabelle and Mary.
"Okay, maybe lets not anger the girl who can kill us by accident when she gets mad." Mary said, grabbing Ray's hand that was still pointing at Fenris and putting it down. "What all did you guys need for the kit."
"We wrote a list the other day, hang on." Annabelle said, going to get it off the coffee table.
Fenris moved next to Ray, and still being slightly pissed off that he called her soft, poked him in his side, Ray glared at her and poked her back. In the two seconds it took Annabelle to walk back over to them, Ray and Fenris were incessantly poking each other, almost on the verge of punching each other.
"Will you two stop it! You're acting like you're five!" Mary growled pulling Ray away from Fenris, and Annabelle grabbing Fenris' arm.
"She-"
"No!"
"But she-"
"No! Now apologize." Mary said, looking at an open mouthed Ray with her hand on her hip.
Slowly turning to Fenris grumbling Ray shoved his hands in his pockets. "I'm sorry."
"I accept your apology."
"Fenris don't you have something else to say to Ray?" Annabelle questioned.
"Not anything I can think of."
"Fenris." Annabelle said with a stern tone.
Sighing Fenris looked at Ray. "I'm sorry too."
"Thank you. Now lets get back to the kit. We need dishes, food, toys, bedding, treats, a collar and leash, and something we can make a den out of." Annabelle read off. "I figured we could just go to the local pet store first since we should be able to get almost everything there."
"Sounds like a plan. I'll drive." Ray said, walking out the door.
"Okay? I guess we're leaving now." Mary said, with a fond smile and rolling her eyes while following her mate.
The three of them left the apartment and walked down to see Ray had started the truck and was already backing out of the parking spot.
"Wait for us Ray!" Fenris yelled, running over to the truck and throwing the door open.
Mary and Annabelle watched their mates argue, both laughing at the strange relationship the two had.
"Everyone in the truck." Ray yelled out, now ignoring Fenris telling him to have patience.
The two sisters quickly got in the back seat, and Ray took off before they could even put their seatbelts on.
-------------
Walking into the pet store was, disorienting. It stopped all four of them for a second there were so many smells and sounds. Ray was the first to get over it and grabbed Fenris' arm dragging her over to look at the animal toys.
The entire isle was overflowing with squeaky toys, stuffed toys, and chew toys for cats and dogs.
"It's a enfield kit?"
Picking up a carrot toy Fenris inspected it. "Yeah. He's pretty small for a kit too."
"So we should get some toys that he can teeth on and use to hunt." Ray said, picking up an overstuffed hedgehog and squirrel, comparing the two. "I think the squirrel is cuter, what do you think?"
Fenris looked at the toys. "I guess it's cuter. It would be more realistic for the kit when it comes to hunting."
That's how the next ten minutes went, Fenris and Ray comparing toys and asking each other for their opinion. In the end they had a large pile and spent another five minutes trying to decide on which ones they were really going to get.
Dwindling down the options they agreed on two rope toys, three different squeaky toys, a cannister of tennis balls, and they each picked a stuffed animal. Ray picking the squirrel and Fenris picking a small fox with a squeaker.
"Here you guys are. We were wondering were Ray dragged you two off to." Mary called out, causing both friends to turn around. Annabelle was behind her pushing a cart with some items already in it.
"What did you guys get?" Fenris asked, walking up arms full of all the toys they had picked out.
"We got a simple dish set as well as a bed, and this cute little black harness that is adjustable. Then we saw a little wood house but need you to pick it up." Annabelle said, showing Fenris the bowls and harness. "I see you've picked out quite the assortment of toys."
"Yep." Fenris said, dumping the toys in the cart. "We can get the den last so what else do we need?"
"Well we need food and a collar. I wanted to wait so we can pick out the collar together."
"Alright lets go pick out a collar." Fenris grabbed Annabelle's hand and turned to Ray. "Ray can you take the cart while we go look at collars."
Ray gave a thumbs up and grabbed the cart taking off again with Mary following him.
"He's up to something."
"Well, it's not like it'll be anything bad." Annabelle said, pulling Fenris over to a wall of collars.
"Why are there so many?" Fenris asked no one, looking at all the different colors, designs, and fabrics.
"Awww Fenris look at this one it's a little bow tie." Annabelle squealed, picking up a small black one.
"I like it. He'll look like a little business man."
"Lets get him one more, just in case he doesn't like the bow."
"What about this simple green one."
"Perfect!" Annabelle said smiling.
"Great." Fenris kissed Annabelle and smiled at the look of pure happiness on her face. "Lets go see if we can find some appropriate treats."
-----------
They weren't able to find some treats that they felt would be a safe option for the kit so they instead grabbed some teething bones. Now they were searching the small store for Ray and Mary who they somehow hadn't seen since they split.
Fenris kept an eye out waiting for a possible prank, something Ray loves to do to her. "I told you he's up to something."
Annabelle rolled her eyes and swung their intertwined hands. "We don't know if it's bad."
Being cautious Fenris peeked over her shoulder and looked down every aisle for a sign of Ray. Ever since they were kids he would often play a prank on her or attempt to scare her. She was ready to flip whatever Ray had planned back around onto him.
"Not a single sign of them." Annabelle huffed when they reached the front of the store. "Do you think we somehow missed them?"
Fenris shook her head. "No way. The store is small and the shelves aren't that high."
"Did they leave? But then where's everything we picked out?"
An employee walked up to them , getting their attention. "Excuse me do you know when your friends are going to be back. If they don't come back soon I'm going to have to put all the items in their cart back."
"Um, no?, but we'll take the cart for them." Fenris sort of questioned, dumbfounded to find out they actually left.
Walking away the same employee quickly brought over a cart and pushed it towards Annabelle who took it. It was their cart and it looks like Ray had gotten the den Annabelle saw earlier and put it in the cart for them.
"So now where are Mary and Ray?" As soon as she said the words Fenris' phone vibrated with a text from Ray.
R: Hey forgot to tell you but me and Mary stepped out for a sec. We'll be back in a few so if you guys have everything go ahead and pay. Bye Fenny!
"So Ray said to pay and they'll be here in a little bit."
Everything paid for Fenris pushed the cart outside with Annabelle keep one hand on it. Annabelle was about to call Mary when they heard more then saw the truck pulling up to them, Ray had old 80's music blasting from the speakers.
Mary turned the radio down, much to Ray's displeasure. "So you're probably wondering why we left you guys." she started, grabbing something from the backseat, "We decided to go get some food for the kit. There's a squirrel, rabbit, and some type of bird. It's skinned and everything, you just need to cut it up for him." She showed them a big brown bag.
"Where did you find that?" Annabelle questioned shocked. Her and Fenris assumed one of them would just hunt for the food until the kit could do it himself.
""There's a butcher owned by a wolf nearby and they sometimes have more unique meats. I'll send you the address later. Now get in the truck so we can get everything to your apartment and set up." Mary waved them in. Fenris carefully put everything in the bed of the truck and got into the cabin.
-----------
Thankfully getting everything set up for the kit didn't take as long as they expected. There was a lot of trash but once they threw all that away it came together pretty easy. They had set up his den next to the couch, putting his bed in it and all his toys around it.
Mary and Ray had left a few minutes after getting everything to the apartment, something about Ray promising Mary a date. Upon them leaving Fenris decided to release her wings and put on a tank top.
Now all they needed to do was break the crystal and the little enfield would be in his new home.
"So how exactly does this work?" Annabelle questioned, looking at the small crystal.
"Put it near the den and break it. The enfield will appear where it shattered and once he does both crystals will disappear."
Nodding Annabelle did as Fenris instructed and shattered the crystal in front of the den. The crystal produced a purplish fog that slowly dissipated to show the small and confused looking enfield.
Upon seeing them he backed up and growled softly, confused of his sudden appearance. Continuing to walk backwards he eventually backed into the side of the den and turned around quickly.
Fenris slowly walked to the kit and held her hand out to him. He looked at her cautiously, but after a few seconds walked up to her and sniffed her hand. Annabelle could see his little eyes widen and he started making a bunch of chirping noises as he ran around Fenris.
"I think he remembers you." Annabelle giggled.
Fenris watched as the now excited kit explored all the toys and the den. "Yeah I guess he does." He padded back over to them with the little bow tie collar in his mouth. "You like that one buddy?" Fenris bent down and gently took it and secured it around his neck. "There perfect."
The enfield made more excited chirping noises and jump/glided onto Fenris, crawled up to her shoulder where he sat like he did when they first met. His little chest puffed out and looking proud displaying his new collar.
"It's just missing one thing, his name." Annabelle grabbed the name tag and walked over to him, reaching up she gently clipped the tag on. "Welcome to the family Fern."
