I press my face against his chest. I feel... so guilty and so so awful. I caused this. The heeling will take time, I hope we both have that time. I'm still stunned. I can't believe I hurt him so. He moves his hand up my back.

"You blame yourself I suspect." He says.

"Yeah." I answer.

I had stopped crying thankfully, but my eyes still burn. I grip his fur harder. His breath was shaky.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry." I say.

He hisses as he sits up. I look up at him.

"It's not entirely your fault." He wipes the tears from my eyes.

I press my lips into his. He moves his hand up my back.

"I'm so sorry." I sniff.

"Again, mi amor. It wasn't your fault." He hugs me. 

I put my hand on his wound. It starts glowing. I need to heal this wound. I feel the fire. I yank my hand away. I blow the ashes away. He moves his hand down my hair. He's made me feel better. He's made me feel stronger. I was wrong about the humans. They are not for me. He is. I take up his hand in mine.

"Ghaaay!" I hear.

We turn. Puss slams into the tree.

"He's coming!" Kitty yells.

"What?" I ask.

I turn. How did he find my tree so soon?! No time to think. I stand up. I take out my sword.

"What... are you... mi amor?" He asks.

"I'm ending this now." I say.
