The best thief ever! (Open)

Bell blinked up at the fox at his side and he could tell by her voice that she was far older than she appeared to be. He was picked up gently in her mouth, his jaw flexing some on the meat he'd procured before they darted off again into the forest. So tired.
"mstisdjed...."
He spoke around the meat and it came out a mess of words. He gave a little sigh and hung loose in her grip.

Bell groaned as he was put down again, his little hands coming up to wrap around the piece of meat he'd stolen and he ate lazily on his side on the ground, not bothering to move much at all.
Eunice picked out of her bear cave blinking when she saw Bell there at Liz's feet before she darted to the shade under Liz's body.
"Bell moves quick then gets tired and flops. Thank you for bringing him back."
The tiny little squirrel moved to between Liz's legs and wrapped her tiny paws around the leg as much as she could clinging to Liz as she stared at poor Bell who's mouth was hanging open as he slept in the sun.

Eunice giggled then nuzzled her face into Liz's fur.
"I'm hungry too now..."
She murmured softly sniffing at where Liz's pulse was.

Because Liz had been running, it had made the blood pulse thought her veins, lighting everything up in Liz. Her heart beat was practically beating into Eunice's ears. Her blood was enfolding her. Eunice felt almost like Tatius was there with her, looking after her, caring for her. Liz made her feel safe and if Eunice ever knew her mother, she had a funny feeling that this would be exactly what her mother would be like. It was a sweet thought to have. That her mother was someone who wanted simply the best for Eunice.

Someone who only wished to see Eunice happy. Eunice lightly bit into Liz's fur and gave a soft whine at the blood pouring into her mouth. She squirmed in utter delight at the incredible taste she was receiving from Liz and drank it deeply until she was just about nearly full. The blood still pumping through Liz from her run, was enough to allow Eunice to just keep her mouth open making the blood pound into her mouth rather than having to drink it herself. Eunice pulled out her teeth and licked at little toothmarks before her eyes traveled up to meet Liz's.

"I don't want you to leave. Promise you'll stay with us? Ruppo's mean and grumpy. He won't help us too willingly and I'm scared for me and Bell. What if he did end up on a skewer? What if you had not been there? What would have happened to me if I lost him?"
Eunice half whimpered in a child like way curling her tiny little fingers against the fur on Liz's paws.

Eunice allowed Liz to lower herself around her. She'd grown so incredibly fond of Liz in the time they had spent together and Eunice didn't know how she'd go on without Liz there for feeding, for warmth, for protection. She'd been here well over two months as a squirrel, learning to survive the harsh, hostility of being an animal in the woodlands and she'd come to understand that this place was dangerous. Eunice too a deep breath and laid her tiny hands on Liz's snout, her squirrel eyes showing sadness and regret when Liz said she could not stay.

But what was Eunice to do without her? What if Bell disappeared as well? How was she going to manage then? She was all alone in this strange place... Eunice glanced briefly to the sleeping Bell who was twitching away then made a little squeaky sound letting Liz know that she would do as Liz wished her to do.

"I will try to convince him but I can't do much. He's really stubborn. He was a human before and he misses their food, meats and eggs and chocolate. He keeps talking about chocolate. I don't know what it is but he says it's really addictive. "
She came from BC Rome. How was she supposed to know what chocolate was? Eunice would have smiled if she could at the next words and it showed in her eyes. She nuzzled closer underneath Liz when Liz snuggled her closer and moves so her body was underneath where Liz lay down, only her head sticking out, the way she often slept under Ruppo or Bell.

"I think... mother was like you when she was still alive. I don't remember but I picture you now when I see her. I wanna be human again, really badly. I wish I was now. I miss pretty things and long hair."
Eunice sighed and watched Bell who suddenly became animate again. He twitched and shook a little before snapping to his feet jumping this way and that, as if he were surrounded by a thousand enemies.

Then he twisted to the fox and his tail shot right into the air as he let out a warning screech making Eunice near hysterical with giggles under Liz's body.
"Who are YOU...?"
Bell growled before snatching up the meat he'd snagged and sitting down on his haunches as if Liz would steal it from him at any second.
"Oh Glorious meat...."
He purred as he began to rip off some pieces of it almost forgetting about Liz.

Eunice listened to Liz explain what chocolate was and her eyes practically lit up at the thought of chocolate and eating it. It sounded quite glorious to be perfectly honest and she found herself wanting some right now.
"If you find some could you bring it to me? "
She asked excitedly, her tail twitching along with her excitement. It was a good thing that Liz was going to talk to Bell since Eunice really didn't know how to make Bell understand that what he did was dangerous.

Maybe hearing it from an adult person would make him perk up and listen for once. He was obviously not gonna listen to someone younger than himself it seemed. Eunice couldn't help but laugh when Bell took pleasure in his meat. Eunice peeked up at Liz when she introduced herself and Bell blinked between her and Eunice.
"Did I fall asleep again? I remember being at camp one minute and now...."
Bell glanced around himself and Eunice nodded quickly.

"Can you get me chocolate next time you go?"
Eunice asked excitedly now that she'd heard about chocolate. Suddenly a thought struck her and she felt like pouting, only she couldn't cause her lips wouldn't do that...Her eyes traveled up to her mother figure.
"If I become human I'll be taken away from you and Bell and Ruppo won't I?"
She whimpered softly and snuggled her face into Liz's leg.

Eunice pushed her little head up into the licking and made a little squirrel sound of contentment closing her eyes. Eunice had now instantly taken Liz as her mother and would forever more do such. She didn't much care about the chocolate. Just the licking she was receiving. It felt so good to be licked like this by Liz and she relaxed even more deeply into a blissful state. Eunice's tiny little hands rested on Liz's tail before she flopped her head down onto it, peering across it to Bell. She hoped Liz would always be this affectionate toward her.

She hoped that she would always end up somewhere where Liz was. The moment Liz's attention turned down on Bell, He flinched at her tone. Boy, did she ever sound like his mom. He coward down and peeked up at her.
"I wasn't me!"
He cried instantly but then reminded himself he was being quite silly about the whole thing and winced slightly.

It was his automatic response when he heard an authoritative voice like that aimed at him. Eunice giggled slightly and tilted her head to the side. Eunice peeked up at Liz, her eyes shimmering slightly with delight at the words and she quickly nuzzled her face into Liz's thick bushy tail before yawning loudly. Bell, who was watching, suddenly yawned too. It was late, they were both tired and the warmth of Liz was making the little vampiress drowsy. She quickly curled herself into the bushy tail cuddling up to prepare to sleep.

"I believe you.... "
The little squirrel murmured. Bell instantly zoomed into the curled up tail and in beside Eunice, peeking cautiously up at her.
"We always curl up together..."
He explained curling himself in beside Eunice too.
