Chapter 2

Leo stood there baffled by this sudden question from Aeris. They had been friends for a long time that's for sure. Ever since they were little and in grade school. Leo always watched out for her and she, in her own way, watched out for him. They were together through thick and thin.

But now, Leo faced this one question he honestly did not know how to answer. Was she attractive? To him she was perfect, her long flowing hair, he soft pink fur, her stunning blue eyes, and her strong will and resolve were but of few of her amazing qualities. Leo in short flat out loved her with all his being. He loved her not because of those reason though…he loved her because she was his escape, his escape from his father.

"Leo…?" aeris spoke taking the gray cat from his thoughts

Leo looked at her. Her blue eyes looked at him with a sense of wonder. Leo did not know how to answer her question because, he was afraid that he wasn't good enough for her.

"aeris I…that is…I mean" he looked away embarrassed.

Aeris looked down sadly. She took it the wrong way. She presumed that she was unappealing  to the eye and not pretty in the slightest by his reaction. She stood and ran to the bathroom.

Leo was about to run after her until the door bell rang. He took one last look down the hall towards the bathroom door which was now slammed shut.

He sighed and walked over to the door only to find a letter that was slid under the door. He looked at it for awhile and picked it up. He opened it and started to read.

Dear Leo Leonardo the 3rd
You thought you and that vagabond of a woman that you call a friend could run and hide from me?
You are sadly mistaken my boy, I have discovered your whereabouts and have several of my men watching you.
I wish for you to come home like a good boy and face me like a man.
This is your first warning of three pray that I do not get impatient.

From
Leo Leonardo the 2nd

Leo shook with fear as he read the letter. His father found him after all this time. How did he find him, why was he being so persistent?

After his shock subsided Leo took a deep breath and crumpled the letter. He won't give in to him. Not now not ever. He can't leave aeris, and he will not face his father.

Leo tossed the letter into the trash as he began to walk to the bathroom door. He knocked.

"Go away" he heard aeris cry out.

It didn't take a scientist to know that she was crying. Leo felt his heart ache as felt that it was his fault that she was upset.

"aeris…look I…I am sorry…that I may have seemed like I don't think you are attractive…when reality is…" Leo paused.

Leo took a deep breath. He had to do this sooner or later. It was only inevitable that this time would come.
"the truth is that…I think you are the most beautiful person alive, you are unlike any other woman alive." he said softly.

His words came as a shock to aeris. He continued

"you were always looking out for me even though I got under your skin at times, you never judged me for being who I am…the only reason why I never said anything was…I think you deserved better than me" he closed his eyes.

There was a long silence after he said that. Leo started to think that aeris might want to be alone. He was about to walk to his room when the door to the bathroom opened.
