Grown to Love

Chapter Five

Wolf found the three outside, leaning against a wall. With a fork in hand, picking at his teeth, the taller one of the three noticed Wolf coming up to him. He rolled his eyes and stood up straight. "If it isn't Fox's boyfriend." Wolf grabbed him by the shirt and quickly punched him straight in the nose. He fell back and shook his head. He growls and snaps his fingers. The other two go up to Wolf and grab him by the arms. Fox makes it outside and finds Wolf being held back. "We have to get someone!" Slippy stuttered as he got to the scene. Wolf started growling and several of the students who'd been outside started watching as Wolf struggled to shake his arms free. He then steps on the hyenas' toes and he kicks them off. They fall back and shake their heads as they get up. The shorter one tackles Wolf and he gets pinned against the wall. Wolf grabs him by the tail and pulls him off. The other then started to punch Wolf but missed every punch. Wolf then leaned to his left to avoid a punch and grabbed the arm of the hyena. He quickly twisted it to his back and kicked the hyena away. The taller one began to growl and went up to Wolf. "Come on now, let's make this a real interesting fight." He said. Wolf pulls his fists up to his face. The two begin to throw punches at each other, quickly dodging or taking each hit. Not long after they started fighting one on one, a large group of students started forming. From inside, Fox could hear a loud rumble coming behind them. He grabs Slippy and pulls him away from the doors. As Fox had suspected, a large group of students came running outside. They must've heard news about the fight and came to watch. Wolf was now pinning the hyena to the ground, choking him with his forearm. "Last warning! Stay the fuck away from Fox!" Wolf spat on his face as he yelled at him. The hyena said nothing. He bared his teeth. Out of nowhere, his arm swung up to Wolf's eye and wolf jumped off of him, grabbing his eye as he began yelling in pain. "What the fuck?!" Fox jumped to a near by tree and climbed to a branch. He looked frantically at Wolf, waiting for him to turn around. He could only see Wolf on his hands and knees, covering his left eye with the other. The hyena stood, breathing heavily. He then wipes the saliva from his mouth with the back of his hand. When he set his arm back to his side Fox saw a pocket knife covered in blood. Wolf continued to cover his eye. "Get up! Let's finish this fight." The hyena called out from behind Wolf. Wolf removed his hand and saw that it'd been covered in blood. He gasps and begins to growl. "You mother fucker!" He gets up and faces the hyena, who shows that he's in as much shock as everyone else. Everyone gasped at the sight of Wolf's eye as it drizzled with blood from the top of his eyebrow to the bottom of his eye. "You'll pay for this!" Wolf growled and launched himself at the hyena. He pins him down and begins to punch him. He holds his throat with his bloody left hand and raises his right hand up. It was no longer in a fist. Wolf growled and had his claws extract. There was a sudden burst at the doors and everyone in the crowd  spread away, making room for the principle, the nurse, and a cop to come to the scene. "Wolf O'Donnell!" Wolf didn't move his arm but he looked over at the three adults from the corner of his right eye. "Get off of him this instant!" The principle called out. The cop then pulled out a taser. "Release the boy Wolf, I don't want to use this on you." Wolf growled and then looked back at the hyena. He could see the fear he'd struck in him. Wolf's blood burned and he gripped the hyena's throat tighter. He let out a loud growl and slashed his claws across his face. The cop shot the taser and it began to tase Wolf. Wolf began to twitch as he fell off of the hyena. The principle and nurse quickly pulled the hyena away, examining the claw marks as they bled. Fox jumped from the tree and to Wolf. "No! Leave him alone!" Just as he made it to the front of the crowd, an arm reached out and held him back. Fox turned and found that it was Falco, a friend of his, who'd been holding him back. He then looked back at Wolf who'd been knocked out on the floor. The officer walked up to Wolf and noticed blood coming from the other side of his face as it created a small puddle on the concrete. He turned Wolf over and gasped. "My god.." He then picked Wolf up. He ran to the front of the school as he spoke into his radio. Fox managed to pull himself away from Falco and started running after the cop. The principle saw him run after. "Someone stop him!" He cried out. Falco didn't hesitate and went after Fox. He caught up and took Fox to the ground. "Falco get off! I need to make sure he's ok!" "Fox! They'll take care of him. We have to wait for now." Fox watched as the police car drove around the corner and onto the busy street.
Marcus stormed into the hospital with James and Fox behind him. "Marcus please, slow down!" James called out. "James," Marcus stopped and turned around to face James. He stopped and his ears fell back. "My son was just stabbed with a damn knife, I need to make sure he's fine." "He was still conscious when it happened." Fox spoke quietly. Marcus frowned. "You," he got close to Fox. "You're the cause of this." James stepped in between Fox and Marcus. "Don't blame my son, he's not the reason your son got hurt. Wolf chose to fight that kid and he paid the consequence." Marcus gave a slight growl and turned around. He continued to walk down the halls of the hospital. They reached room one twelve and found Wolf in the bed. "Dad?" Wolf sat up. "Thank god," Marcus went up to Wolf and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're ok." He smiles at Wolf and Wolf smiles back. Marcus then grabbed Wolf by the ear. Wolf flinches. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" "What did I tell you not do to before I left?!" "Not get into any trouble!" Wolf grabbed his father's wrist as he flinched. "Now look what you got yourself into." "I'm only sticking up for Fox! I can't let people toss him around like garbage! He's my best friend and if people hurt him they hurt me. Let go of my ear!" Marcus released Wolf's ear and sighs, placing his fingers between his eyes. "I'm just frustrated is all." "Because of me?" Wolf looks up at his father, speaking with slight disappointment in his voice. "No, no. I just," He places his hand on Wolf's shoulder. "Work's been so stressful lately and I worry about you." "I don't mean to worry you," Wolf looks over at Fox who's standing at the foot of his bed. "Or you." Fox walks up to Wolf on the other side of the bed. "You seriously didn't have to go and fight." Fox smiles and chuckles. He then wipes one eye. Wolf frowns and grabs Fox's arm. "Fox, don't cry. I'm alright. It's bound to be ok. I'm sure he got just above my eyebrow is all." "Sorry, I just feel guilty. Because I can't stand up for myself, you put yourself in danger and look where it's brought you." "But it's ok, I promise." Wolf smiles at Fox to reassure him.
