I See You Prelude God and his curveballs Sometimes in life god likes you to throw you a curve ball just to make sure your paying attention and this could happen on any day of the year and any moment of your life. For the young twenty one year old male named Knight it had happened a few times already, the first real curve ball in his life was when he was around eleven years old and he was told he was to have surgery on his left eye too try to improve his less then perfect eyesight, Then it was the news that the surgery failed and he lost all of his sight in what was at that point his good eye. That news began the slow education of useing a cane and getting used to his newfound condition of being legally blind but it wasnt all bad. Knight shivered softly as he walked toward the small coffee shop on his way home from the grocery store on a pleasent but cold tuesday afternoon. It was mid-september and it was snowing outside and although he loved the snow he hated the cold that came with it which he admited was one of the reasons he decided to stay in Alaska to begin with. He fidgeted with his full backpack and manuvered his cane to let him know were the steps were so he could go inside and warm up a little and maybe sit down for a moment and have a nice drink. Knight opened the heavy door and the music of the day flooded out of the coffee shop and in his opinion it wasnt bad but he had a odd sense of music and this wasnt something he perfered but at least it was warm and cozy inside the store. He kicked off the snow off his shoes and walked inside were the pleasent heat greated him and the tantilizing aroma of fresh coffie and treats filled the room. Knight looked around with his now good eye and saw the hooks for costomers jackets and things and he took off his heavy coat and smiled to himself as he grew warmer. Knight was tall standing just over six foot one and had brown messy hair that just seemed to get messier the more his messed with it. He was a bigger guy not that he really wanted to be but he was comfortable with it none the less as he adjusted his long sleaved shirt trying to make sure it was persentable. His short white fur was flacked with snow and he shook softly to get it off of him. The cold wasnt really were a red panda bear should live but it was his home now and he loved it. Knight looked around for a good spot to relax but frowned softly as it seemed he wasnt the only one with the idea to get out of the cold afternoon snow as the place was packed with people. "Damn" he thought to himself wearily as he got in line to order his cane held firmly in front of him, "Guess i'll just head home." he thought as the line slowly began to move. "too bad everyones too busy to hang out." Knight couldnt find work that could accomidate him it left him with a lot of free time especially on a typical work week. Knight sighed to himself and ordered a hot chocolate to go. "i guess ill go home and play Elder paws again" he thought iratedly as he had already spent at least a houndred hours in the digital domain of the game already. He grabbed his ot drink as his large tail shifted irratably and he thanked the baresta quickly as he started to grab his heavy coat and grumbled. "guess today will just a boring day after all." Chapter One A nice change of pace Knight continued walking home drinking the hot chocolate quickly before it lost its warmth in the cold conditions. Knight was used to the walk home so he didnt really have to pay attention to his souroundings other then the light taps of his cane against the snow to make sure he didnt accedently step in a bank of snow. As he walked his thoughts were trying to think of something fun to do until he heard some voices off in the distance. Knight stopped and listened too the voices since it was odd as he lived outskirts of town to hear voices like this except the occasional drunk fight or pot heads. "So little miss perfect thinks just becouse she's so smart we will like her." said a rather venomous voice. "No one likes you your not even our age so why should we be your friends." Knight looked towards the voices and noticed a group of a few teenagers. He moved closer and noticed that they were sourounding a young fox girl about fourteen or fifteen who looked like she was on the verge of crying. "Just becouse you think your special being a sophemore you think your better then us." said the same venomous voice that seemed to be coming from a rather attactive lynx female with large breasts and streaked blond hair, a large panther male stood behind her grinning idiotically as she continued her onslaught of putdowns. Beside the two of them a hyana chick laughed at the fox and shoved her. "your boobs or not even grown in yet you try to act so adult." She said as the young fox began to tear up. "oh poor baby going to cry." called the panther in a tough guy voice as he shoved her back toward the hayina. Knight teeth clenched as he watched the group anger quickly forming in the stumich. He was usailly one to mind his own bussiness but something about this scene made him grow bold and stride toward the group not worring about useing his can on the soft snow. "Oi if your going to pick someone do it on someone your own size." he said rather angerly as the group turned toward him the panther cracking his knuckles already seeing a new target for abuse. "Whats this some blind chump thinking he can take me on." said the panther his cold brown eyes stareing at Knight who stared back his gray blue eyes showing his hate. "No a blind chump who knows that the police station is just around the corner and who has a cell phone if any idiot of a panther touches me or the girl agian and thats only if i decide i don't deck him first." he hissed back as he gripped his cane not letting his eyes off the panther. The panther looked at him for a few moments obviously wighing his options "tch whatever lets go trevor." said the lynx before the male had a chance to decide as she walked off the hyanna girl fallowed her talking angerly. "Stupid fatass." Trevor said as he shoulder checked Knight and walked off. "wait for me girls." Knight stood there for a moment before sighing walking towards the young girl offering a paw. "you ok there?" he asked softly as the young girl nodded and took his paw and he pulled her up her onto her feet her face fur was still streaked with tears. Knight looked over her softly and frowned to himself as he noticed that the fox's jacket was ripped and her backpack would need its straps sawn together again and it seemed that the lynx had slapped her or otherwise hit her as a soft bruese could already be seen beneath her orange and white fur. Knight pulled off his backpack and searched inside for a moment grabbing the new box of wetnaps he had bought himself pulling one out and offering it to the young fox. "Here wipe yourself off and tell me why those assholes thought it be a good thing to hurt you." he said softly as the young girl took the wetnap and wiped her face fur off. "there...just assholes.." She said softly trying to straighten herself up. Knight watched her as she did and he admited to himself that she was pretty cute. She had bright green eyes and long orange hair tied in a ponytail and even though she was covered in heavy clothes he could tell she had a thin figure and that she was around four foot eleven or something like that as he had too look down at her. "Th...Thank you..." she said softly her voice was still shakey as she wipped off her tears. "No worries" Knight said as he gave her a moment to recuperate herself as he grabbed her bag from the ground and offered it to her. "My names Knight whats yours?" The young fox grabbed her bag and looked up at him. "Tera." She said very softly as she held her backpack to her chest and looked down." thank you again....Knight." Knight smiled softly and patted her softly on head. "No worries no one should be bullied by assholes like that." he said with a grin as he turned to get back to walking home. "Wait." Tera said grabbing his free paw with her own. "um...would you mind walking me home?" she asked softly looking up at him. Knight was about too say something until he saw her eyes looking up at him. "Damn it im a big softie." he thought to himself as his heart melted and he nodded. "Oh ok were do you live?" he said smiling softly. "Down the road in the apartment complex." she explained not letting go of the large males paw and Knight eyes lit up for a secound. "You mean your the guys who moved in a few weeks ago?"
