May’s Dismay

An Arctic Vixen opens her eyes in a cold sweat, as she places her hand paw on her forehead, wiping the cold moisture from her fur, a tear dropped down from her eye and landed on the blanket that she covered herself up with. It was that dream again, I just know it. She thought, May was distraught ever since the Anthro/Human Civil War was over, She could hear on the news that they had found two bodies, a Female Border Collie and a Male Labrador Retriever,

She had warned him not to try and make peace with the humans, but he assured her that he would be alright and would be back for her whenever he could. She knew that the humans burned her boyfriend at the stake, claiming that… She didn’t want to think about what they thought as she brushed her white straight hair behind her white ear.

Everywhere she went, she could imagine the blood, her boyfriend’s blood dripping from his body, August had assured her that they would get the people responsible for Leo’s death, it was a promise that he intends to never break, as he knew how much she cared about Leonardo, He always said that his door is always open when or if she needed a shoulder to cry on, but deep down, she wondered by the way she’s been acting if they ever need her in the group, according to Azalea, they wouldn’t.

She held the blanket toward her chest, eyeing the dark room. She reached over and turned her lamp on and got out of bed. She figured a Cold Shower would calm her down as she got herself some clean underwear and walked over to the bathroom, there were times she would hear Jacob and Isaac discussing things in the other bathroom behind hers.

She turned the light on in the bathroom and walked over to the sink. Lowering her ears back and folding them, she turned the faucet on and splashed some water on her face, she grabbed a towel off the rack and started drying the water from her fur. She looked at the reflection and saw that Leonardo was standing behind her. “Leo?!” She suddenly spoke. She recognized that yellow fur anywhere. She spun around, hoping he would be there to embrace her in his loving arms. She wanted to believe that he was right there in the bathroom with her that he wasn’t dead like everyone claimed.

However there was no one there, Leonardo was nowhere to be seen. She placed her hand on her forehead. You’re losing it, May. Just get a cold shower and everything will be alright… She thought. She removed her nightgown and underwear from her body and set them aside so she could put them with the rest of her dirty clothes. She knew that it was Brighteyes’ turn to do the dirty laundry.

Getting into the Shower, she turned the cold water on and let it hit her fur. She never minded the cold water as much as the others, she always found bathing in cold water to be really relaxing. Rather than running hot water on her.

Remembering back to when she was a baby, she would recall that her mother would sing a song to her, to help her keep calm. It didn’t last long for her to be on her own, as she was growing up with her brothers and sisters, she could recall that her mother was killed in cold blood by humans, at least that’s what her siblings would say when she was older.

She would depend on her brother to take care of her as she was the youngest of her siblings and he had such a kind soul. She started washing her fur with soap and water, doing her best not to think too much about the past events that happened. She started focusing on her brother Galaxy, while she was young, he would protect her from the Penguins and the Leopard Seals. Claiming that they weren’t the easiest Anthros to get along with.

May could remember when they were at a dinner table, one of her brothers stated that a Blizzard SnowStorm was heading their way, she would look out the window, wondering if their mother was coming home. She would hear stories that their parents would be out on a grand adventure and would be back within a year, but as time went on, May was about to reach adulthood. Her question to her brothers and sisters were.

“When will mom and dad be back?”
“How long will they be away?”
“Think they’ll be back soon?”

Everyone of those questions were answered with a simple reply. “They’ll be here when you are asleep, but by the time you wake up, they’ll be gone to take care of an errand.”

May never questioned her 9 older siblings to know if they were really being honest with her, but when she reached 20 Years Old, her brother Galaxy sat her down to talk.

“May, it’s time.” Galaxy said as he sat in the cushion recliner of their cabin.
“What do you mean, big brother?” May asked as she tilted her head.

“It’s… It’s about… Our m… Mother…” Nokia replied. He was trying to hold back the tears when he looked into his sister’s innocent eyes. “She’s not… Coming back…”

“Yeah, cause she and dad have gone on a big mission.” May spoke. “Why are you stuttering?”

Galaxy took a deep breath. “No, she never was on an errand or on a mission.” He replied, closing his eyes and folding his ears back. “She was killed when you were a baby…”

May covered her muzzle with her hands as she tried to fight back the tears that were coming out of her eyes. Her ears folded back.

“But… But you have to understand, May.” Galaxy spoke, seeing his sister in tears. “She did it to protect us.”

“Why…?” May asked.

“Because those hunters would’ve killed us all, our mother wanted to sacrifice her life so we could live.” Galaxy replied.

May’s tears streamed down her cheeks. “It’s not fair…” She said to her brother. “Why couldn’t they just go after the Caribou instead?”

Galaxy got up and walked over to his sister to hug her, to let her know it’s okay to cry in a situation like this, that she has every right to be sad. May just pushed her brother away and ran out the door. She never looked back since.

May snapped out of the flashback, as the cold water started warming up a bit. She heard the water going down the drain, as she looked around and noticed that she was back in the mansion. Not back with Galaxy and her siblings. She wondered why they kept their mother’s death a secret from her. She had the right to know, but remembering that she stormed out of their home to never see them again. She knew why…

She finished washing her body and turned the Shower off as the water went down the drain as well as strands of her loose fur. She started drying off and wrapped a towel around her breasts, tail and butt, covering her slender body. She grabbed her clean underwear and headed out of the bathroom and into her bedroom.

She sighed as she placed her underwear on the bed and unwrapped the towel, revealing her breasts and nipples along with her vagina. If only you were here with me, right now. I need comfort. May thought as she put on her underclothes. She knew that Jacob and August had a mission today and would be back before she even knew it. She slipped on her blue dress and noticed a locket next to her bed. She let out a weak smile, knowing what was in that locket.

She walked over to the locket and picked it up as she sat on her bed and opened it.
