As we drove along in the familiar patchwork Mitsubishi that we always called the \"Shitsubishi\" I couldn't stop thinking about Cedric and the strange manner we had met. I must have been thinking too hard I barely heard Scott in the back ground.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You okay man? You seem a bit spacey.\" He glanced over as he drove toward my home town of Brownfield.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yeah I'm fine don't worry. Hey by the way you didn't happen to notice anything weird right?\" I was beginning to question my own sanity.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No nothing that I can remember. Why do you ask?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Just wondering that's all.\" I managed to fake a smile to defuse the situation.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI rode the rest of the way in silent thought. How could I have seen Cedric but not Scott and Mike? What was this guardian business? And more importantly how did he know me? All these questions buzzed in my head like a swarm of wasps picking at my brain.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA few minutes later I was home. I exited the car and waved Scott off. I turned to go into the house when I noticed him.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Welcome home Jacob.\" It was Cedric leaning on one of the eve posts.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"When you said later I didn't think it would be this soon.\" I said with a grimace \"So what are you doing here?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I figured I'd see where you live.\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"That's not stalker like at all.\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nJust then the front door opened. My little black Pomeranian dog Onyx popped out into the yard fallowed by something larger. It was my grandfather William, a seventy three year old Grizzly Bear. Despite his appearance my grandfather was the nicest guy around. He took a moment to look Cedric over.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Who's your friend Jacob?\" He said with a smile.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"His name is Cedric. Cedric meet Grampa, Grampa meet Cedric. \" I tried to get the meet and greets over as soon as possible.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Pleasure to meet you Cedric, would you like to stay for dinner?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"That would have to be a . . .\" That's all I could manage to say needless to say Cedric was quicker.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I would love to stay for dinner with Jacob's family.\" He smiled.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy mind had one word flowing through my mind \"Fuck!\" Now I had to deal with him. My grandfather opened the door and ushered us inside. We ascended the stairs and entered the living room.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Hunny come here for a minute. I want to introduce someone to you.\" He called out to the kitchen.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nNot long after my grandmother Peggy emerged. She was a 75 year old Grey Hare; she was like a mother to me and my friends and we were her children.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh! Who might this be?\" she said with a smile.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"This is Cedric, I just met him recently.\" I explained.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Well its pleasure to meet you, you can call me Nana.\" She hopped over and gave him a small hug.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI grabbed Cedric by the arm and yanked him towards my room. \"We'll be in here talking, playing games and what not. Come get us when dinners ready ok?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy Nana nodded and hoped back to the kitchen and my grandfather when to his computer in there room. I pulled Cedric into my room and with a light shove sat him on the bed as I locked the door.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh my! So forceful that's kind of sexy. What are you going to do with me?\" He said excitedly as he smirked. I lost it and back handed him across the face.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Cut the shit. Now are you going to tell me what you want or not?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe rubbed his cheek a little wincing slightly. \"Sorry about that.\" I walked over to my mini fridge and grabbed a cold cloth. I sat down beside him and touched up the bruise.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Thank you Jacob.\" I was taken aback by his statement it made me blush slightly. \"Aww you're a shy one how cute.\"  \nI stopped rubbing and regained my composure.\n\n\"So let's start from the beginning, how is it that you know me and I don't know you?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHe smiled \"We used to be childhood friends. Our mothers were best friends so we were together since we were five that's when I moved away.\" His smile became then became sullen \"I returned just recently after I learned about your mom's passing you have my sympathy.\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI looked away trying to avoid eye contact, as tears began to pool in my eyes. I was always with my mom. We did everything together; I always had more a bond with her than my father.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I see. So what exactly are you supposed to do as a guardian?\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThis made him blush slightly. \"Well my mother and yours swore that you and I would always be together and that I would protect and well umm . . . love you.\"  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI couldn't help but blush in light of this. I began to feel a tingle on my right arm that grew heading towards my shoulder. I was a little scared when it glowing words spelled out \"Boundless\".  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCedric smiled at this. \"This is our bond.\" He lifted the left sleeve of his coat which revealed the same word on his arm.  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThis lasted only a moment for he dashed to the window and peered out into the yard. I walked over and saw what it was that had drawn him. Two wolves stood in the driveway one white and one black, both with evil in their eyes.\n\nTo Be Continued . . .  \n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
