Late Summer Time
Late summer is here, it is hot and sticky, and it has a feeling of love in the air. Whatever that means, the love bug hasn’t hit me yet. But lucy on the other hand is just glowing all the time. Her, and James finds every excuse they can to be together. If she not going over there, James is coming over here. I love my blood brother coming over, but he has no time for me. The problem is he wants to spend all his time with Lucy. I’m glad he has Lucy to spend time with, but it gets a little lonely here.
I decided to go over to Samuel’s and Maverick’s to see how they are doing. It’s so nice seeing them not angry and mean now. Samuel says he is so thankful, that I had the idea, of getting the marijuana from Cesear, and for Maverick to make the switch. Samuel still misses Charlotte and Emma, but it is getting easier for them to deal with daily. Myself and Maverick have become close friends and blood brother’s now. We love to go forging for food, hunting, and fishing together. It’s nice having him as a friend, since James is in love, he doesn’t have time for his blood brother.
Samel says hey let’s go over to Angels, so I can thank her for her Cesear’s marijuana. So, we all head over to Angel’s. I said I’m going to stop by and tell Oliver and Sophia, where they were going. As he enters the den, he hears the bed creaking, and Sophia was breathing hard and making some very strange and loud noises. I decided best not to interrupt them. I’m old enough to know, they are making myself and Lucy some brothers and sisters. I find this to be exciting news.
So, we head on over to Angel’s, Samuel says there is still some fruit in the meadows and forest, we can pick to take to Angel and Luna. We also can get her a deer, and maybe some small game. I want to repay her for all the bad deeds I’ve done. We gathered a basket full of fruit, then it’s time to go find a deer, we go down into the holler, 2 deer are standing there. The 3 of us run them into the steep rocks, we able to harvest both. Myself and Maverick stay back to drag the 2 deer to Angel’s den. Samuel is carrying the basket of fruit, well in front of us, he happens upon a turkey which he harvested. Samuel is thinking that is a pretty good start on repaying Angel and her family.
Samuel gets to the den first, only Angel is there. Samuel gives Angel the basket of fruit, and the turkey and says that was for her family. Angel says that Luna was down at Ceasar’s, and spending some time with Cesear. Samuel is now in tears and starts apologizing to Angel, he said I know my behavior was totally inexcusable, she agrees with him, but then she says, I understand why you were so horrible. Losing your mate and young daughter, all at the same time, is more than any bear should endure. I know how hurt I was losing George; it was almost unbearable. I was able to get through my lose without turning to marijuana. I know you turned to Caesars marijuana, you were doing better, but you were still hurting. Then you happened to run in to another dealer, that was a very bad and evil dealer. You started using his laced marijuana, as did Maverick. The PCP laced marijuana changed your brain, and the way you were thinking. With all this said, I’m not holding you responsible for your actions. All this started because a bear hunter took your young daughter cub illegally, I believe if you had only lost your mate, as I did, you could have gotten through this, without turning to the laced marijuana. I can tell you are very sorry, for what you have put our great forest though. With all this said, I totally forgive you for everything you did. Samuel gave Angel a big bear hug. This took Angel by surprise, and she had a little fuzzy feeling when he hugged her.
Maverick and Ben are now at the den, Angel says what do you have here. We were able to get you, 2 deer this should help feed your family for a while. She said yes, and she thanks them for the food. Maverick says where is Luna at. Angel says she is over at Cesear’s. He then said great Ben and myself will go over there. I want to thank him for the deer and possum bags of marijuana he had given us. I also want him to know, just how much this has changed our life. I also want him to know that we are weaned off of it now. But most of all I want to thank him, for giving me my dad Samuel back.
They headed on over to Cesear’s, when they get there Luna said, hi Maverick, and then she said oh you to Ben. For the first time in my life, I felt a little jealously towards Maverick. She has always acknowledged me first, could she be having feelings towards Maverick. I’ve never had any feelings other than friends towards her. Why do I feel so hurt now? Could I now be beginning to have more serious feelings towards her? I’m confused with this, I don’t want to say anything about the way I’m feeling now. I will just pretend nothing is bothering me. I don’t want to do anything, that will cause any contempt with Luna and also Maverick. They are my friends, so I never told either one of them, the way I was feeling.
Back at the den Samuel and Angel, has just been sitting and talking. Angels tells him, she was so glad they all came over, and I’m even more glad we have had this talk, it means so much to her. Samuel says I’m so glad we had this talk also. This helps even more, with my healing of losing Charlotte and Emma. Meanwhile Angel is thinking to herself damn, he is a very sexy bear. This is the first time since losing George, she has had these warm and fuzzy feelings. She wasn’t ready to let Samuel know yet, how she was feeling.
All the cubs are now back at the den, I can tell for sure that Luna and Maverick are beginning to have feelings about each other. Coming back from Cesear’s they were having that same giggly giggle and laugh that James and Lucy have had for a while now. I do feel left out but they are my friends, I’ll support them if they decide to be a couple. I know Mrs. Right will come to me, when I lease expect it. I guess I’m growing up a little, I feel a little silly that I’m having these thoughts now.
Angel tells us all that we can spend the night. Maverick and Luna tried to down play their feelings; they did not want to let anyone know, they are having feelings towards each other. The cubs all decided to play some cards. Angel and Samuel stayed in the kitchen and talked until time for bed.
We all went to bed or at least I thought we had, until the next morning when I woke up, Luna and Maverick were nowhere to be found. I go outside and walked around, I found them rolling in the leaves, with Maverick on top of Luna. I felt hurt but I can’t blame anyone but myself. I had never had feelings for Lucy until now. Looks like they will be starting their own family. I didn’t let them see me so, I went back to the den and sat there until Samuel and Angel were awake. They asked where Luna and Maverick were. I said I havn’t seen them, I guess they are outside somewhere. They were gone when I woke up. Why do I feel so alone now?
