been a good time to be able to read his mind. He shifted his eyes away from mine but still didn't budge.

"Axel..." I followed his eye movement, but still he didn't look at me. I thought of something that I knew would make him talk. "Axel if you don't answer me I'll...give you details!" I felt quite akward in giving him the details but if it would make him talk to me I would.

I opened my mouth as if I were to begin talking and his head snapped up. "No! Please don't!"

I smiled and sighed in relief. "Good your talking to me."

"Nope, just didn't want to have nightmares."

"Just for that I should tell you."

"If you do I...won't be your friend anymore..."

"Was that suppose to be a threat?"

Just by looking in his eyes I could tell he knew it was a terrible threat. "Well...uh...yeah...yeah it was." I began laughing at his idiodicness. "Its not funny I'm serious."

"Whatever."

"So are you sure your pregnant?"

I sighed I wasn't exactly sure..."Um...Yeah...I guess."

He narrowed his eyes. "Do you have any proof?"

Truth be told I didn't. "Um...I don't feel well..."

He rolled his eyes. "That was a lousy exuse."

I shrugged. I had to give myself credit for at least trying, but I really didn't know if I was pregnant.

"This could be all in your head."

"Axel, your a pest, you know that right?" 

He nodded, then his gaze drifted off up into the sky. I looked up and saw nothing. He glanced at me then smiled as if a light bold shined over his head.

"What?" I asked staring at his evil smile.

"Did you eat anything this morning?"

"Well...no...what does that-" He scooted away and began searching through his dumster for...food. I could feel my eyes bulging, I thought maybe they were going to pop out of my head. He really didn't exect me to eat out of a dumpster! I frowned. He came back out with a piece of meat in his mouth.

"No. No. No. No, I'm not eating out of the garbage."

"Please, c'mon  its just a test."

"Fine." I took it from him and ate it, I swallowed slowly and to my amazement it wasn't bad. "See I'm fine."

"No you have to digest." I frowned, bad enough I had to eat it now I had to let sit inside me. I wished he would have just passed out.

I lied down and waited like he said. So far it felt like we were here for hours and I wanted to go to the beach. I was starting to feel sick but I wasn't going to tell Axel and give him a sense of winning. Then I realized either way he would win, if I did get sick he would win knowing I was going to have pups, and if I didn't he would be right about it being in my head. I narrowed my eyes at him, I guess he knew that I figured everything out and he smiled proudly. I stood and began walking away.

"Wait for me!" He called running after me. "C'mon Kal, just admit it."

"Admit what?"

"That you aren't pregnant and its all in your head."

I stoped walking and stared at him. "Do you know how I'm feeling inside?"

He shook his head.

"I fell sick and partly disgusted. And like I'm going to spontaneously combust and when I'm dead I'm going to haunt you!"

"Oh, c'mon on Kal, you know I don't believe in that stuff." He busted into loud guffaws, then he instantly stopped. "I'm a little miffed you forgot about that." After a while I realized that I was holding my breath. I exhaled and frowned at him. "I'm miffed that your still annoying." 

"Hey, you said my annoyingness was funny." 

"Okay first off 'annoyingness' is not a word and second I never said that!"

"Yeah you did you said-"

"Gah! Your annoyingness, is not being funny know!"

"Ha so you admit it! It was funny!" 

I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to take him by the throat and strangle him, but I knew I would regret it. I had and idea, I was going annoy him like he was annoying me.

"The only reason why you're doing this is because...you're jealous!"

His jaw dropped and he gasped in shock. "Jealous! Me! Whatever."

"Yeah thats the only reason why you're keeping me here."

"No you could leave anytime you want and never return."

I nodded. "Really. So if I walk away and never, ever talk to you again, you won't care."

"Uh...Yeah go ahead."

I shrugged and walked away. I headed home to my amzement he didn't follow me or even call me back.

 

"I'll give him three days." I laughed to myself. I heard a noise and I turned to see Doren, his leg was bleeding and a long scar trailed down his face.

I got up and ran towards him. "What happened to you?" I helped him over to my porch and he lied down and winced in pain. "You're little friend is what happened." I've been gone for four minutes. No way... a lot can happen in four minutes. I thought.

I looked at him confused. No way Axel could have done this. "Are...are you sure?"

He nooded. I licked his wounds, then shook my head. I knew Axel was jealous but he went to far. I stood up and shook my fur. "Where are you goin'?" Doren asked licking his paw.

"I'm going to crack some sense into Axel."

"Don't you mean smack."

I shook my head. "I mean crack as in cracking some bones."

I glanced back at and he was smiling. "Don't tell me my girl's a scrapper?"

I laughed. "When it comes to you, I'm the ultimate scrapper." He smiled.

 

 When I made it to Axel he was laying next to his dumpster basking in the sunlight. I stood over him blocking his sun. "Dumb clouds," He said not realizing it was me.

"Axel!" I growled startling him.

"What! Oh....hey Kal!"

I backed off him and glared at him. "What?" he asked standing up.

"Don't act like you don't know!"

"Um...don't know what?"

I took my paw and place it on his head shoving him down. "Ouch! What in the world are you doing! Are you mad 'cause I still didn't talk to you? Ha. I knew-"

"No I'm not mad at that I wanna know why did you attack Doren and I want the truth and if you try to run I'll-"

"Whoa, whoa what do you mean why did I attack Doren, I haven't seen the dude in three days!"

I put more weight on my paw and he gagged. "Geez...let me up and....I..."

I let him up but swiftly pinned him against the wall, I was finding it hard to believe he could have harmed Doren if he couldn't even shove me off.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about and would you stop with the roughness!"

I snarled impatiently but let him down. "Why would Doren tell me you did if you didn't!"

"I don't know and stop yellin' at me!"

"I can't I'm confused and angry, and I don't believe you!"

He frowned. "What do you mean you don't believe me?"

"I mean I believe my mate and I don't believe you!" He stared at me his eyes filled with anger. "When have I ever lied to you, Kalona?!"

"I don't know..." As he talked I noticed blood on his teeth. "Whats that on your teeth?!"

"What, how am I suppose to know I can't see it!"

"Ugh!" I screamed. "Lick your teeth!" He licked his teeth and realized the taste.

"Okay its blood, what does that have to do with anything?"

I once again pinned him up against the wall. "Its Doren's isn't it!"

"No! I told you I haven't seen Doren in three days, Kalona!"

I growled baring my fangs. "How do I know if yesterday was the third and today you tried to kill him!"

Axel rolled his eyes. "If I wanted to kil him, I would have and yet I wouldn't have cause I wouldn't want to make you sad..." I let him down and sighed. I began walking away. "I still don't believe you."

He shrugged. "You don't have to, becuase I know I didn't do it."

"Whatever..." I walked back home.  I was still angry with Axel but if he didn't do it, who did?"
Until I figured out who did me and Axel were no longer friends.

 And that could be a long time...
