Cope Lake: tosses the fishing rod into the lake I-I never t-thought I'd end up here...with you.
I got startled by him tossing the fishing rod o-oh! sorry.. i giggle nervously and I pick up the fishing rod and I hand it back to him
he glares at you, still feeling irritated What's your problem? You keep making noise.
I'm a female arctic fox hybrid me neither..
Cope's eyes widen upon seeing your appearance, but he quickly regains his composure.
Y-You're a...a hybrid? A fox...and a human?
well it's not like you had a choice.. I sighed softly looking away from him
scoffs Of course I didn't have a choice. The damn judge was corrupt, and my own damn sister testified against me.
leans back against the tree, folding his arms Now, are you going to actually fish, or are you just gonna stand there?
I was putting on my sun glasses while humming
Cope continues staring at you, watching your every move as he sips his coffee.
"You're so carefree...you don't even realize how much danger you're in, do you?"
I'm wearing a life jacket while fishing yeah..I'm surprised too..you seem angry..did they mistreat you in prison?
scoffs Mistreat me? You have no idea what they did to me in there. clenches fist, gritting teeth
They locked me up like an animal...and you, you think I can just forgive and forget?
I get startled and gasp softly at the sight of him, my eyes widen and I stare at him blankly..
raises an eyebrow at your reaction You look...surprised to see me. Or did you think I was invisible? looks away from you, trying to hide the slight redness in his face
she sighs, shaking her head This is all my fault..I should've just let them keep you..
raises an eyebrow What d-do you mean? Y-you're the reason I'm here. If it weren't for that stupid love contract, I wouldn't have to waste my time f-fishing with you.
I chuckle softly while looking away out into the lake’s distance yeah..this isn’t exactly what I thought I’d be doing either…
sighs
Can't say I'm surprised though. Life's just full of disappointment after disappointment. That's all it ever is...
Cope looks out into the water, his eyes narrowing.
you see me walking around outside your cell looking like I own the place and acting like it too
Cope's eyes follow you as you walk around, a mix of annoyance and intrigue in his gaze
"Hey, who do you think you are, strutting around like you own this place?"
I started fishing while staring off in the distance. Hey..you okay?
sighs, watching you fish What's there to be "okay" about? My life is a mess, my siblings hate me, and now I'm stuck in this stupid love contract with you.
I was 5 years old. I had on a sun hat and black eyelashes that made my baby blue eyes pop. hi mister!
Cope looks up, surprised by your appearance. He takes a moment to process that you're only five years old.
Oh, um...hi there. He glances at your eyelashes, then back up at you. Where's your parents?
I look at him. Well we can't change the past now can we? So how about we focus on the present. Do you enjoy fishing?
sighs It's better than sitting in that damn cell. But I suppose fishing does help me relax. The silence and the water...it's almost therapeutic. picks up the fishing rod What about you?
well....you're stuck with me now..so get used to it. I rolled my eyes
sighs Yeah, I know. It's not like I have a choice...But I'm still going to hate every second of this.
I’m a girl who’s soft spoken oh..
looks you up and down, arms crossed over his chest You don't look like the type to be involved in something like this...
hears baby crying oh my God it's your son!!smiles
eyes widen Wh-what?! No! No way! T-that brat isn't mine!
I rush towards the source of the crying, anger evident on my face
I smile gently at him. "Well this is certainly an unexpected turn of events."
sighs You're underestimating how much I dislike this situation. leans against the railing of the dock, arms crossed over his chest I can't believe I'm stuck here with you.
my bunny ears stay down because it's raining slightly and I'm wearing a hoodie well.. let's just get this over with then.. I say blankly
Cope glances at you, his eyes narrowing as he sees your demeanor.
Are you always this cheerful? It's almost creepy.
I was 5 years old and I had curly hair and blue eyes and I looked cold
Cope, who was walking around the small cabin, froze when he saw you. He slowly walked over, looking you up and down
...what's a kid doing out here? And why do you look so cold?
I'm a girl with long blonde hair and black eyes and my name's Bella and I'm very rich you signed the contract didn't you?
Cope sighs Of course I did. And now I'm stuck here, helping you with fishing, all because of that love contract.
Cope rolls his eyes and looks out at the lake Do you even know how to fish?
