Hello everyone! Hows quartine? I'm still alive hope you all are too otherwise id get no pleasure from writing anymore if no one around to read it. :(

Let's see where do I start...

1. I'm sorry, this chapter is about 500 words short of where I like to stop but I enjoy tormenting you all with cliff hangers. I must be a sadist. Did I say this before I don't remember?

2. I stopped writing for so long cause I did a terrible thing that I shouldn't do: Compare my self to better writers. I can't promise I won't fall into a slump and do it again. I also checked my readability score and it said it was for a sixth-grade level and I thought, Shit, I'm really bad at this. BUT, then when you put famous writers in like I dunno Shakespeare his score not much higher or something so...those test are apparently pointless.

3. I didn't stop writing but I started like 6 other fanfiction. Good beginnings but I don't know if they're ever gonna take off so I didn't post them.

4. Once I finish Hungry for another one I may start posting a different fanfiction. You can help me pick which one by posting in the comments or p.m me(see step 3). There all undertake related so no worries on that.

5. If anyone had suggestions for Hungry for another one, please let me know. Otherwise, I feel like the whole thing just needs to go threw a re-write, and that will take time. I refuse to drop it cause I made a promise.

Sylvia wasn't sure why she allowed Blue to pull her into his exhibit it was dark and smelled of stagnant water. She would have to bring the water issue up with maintenance if she managed to get out of here. Right now, however, she was being pulled along by Blue to the back of his cave. His hand was firmly latched on hers and she had to be careful about where she stepped when he pulled. The ground was uneven and she could easily slip and fall while Blues bioluminescent tail made it easy for him to maneuver between the sharp edges and smooth stones. He seemed to be trying to pull her somewhere in the cave where the rocks slopes dropped off into a rugged valley of pebbled stone. A few branches and long grass were pulled into a circle on the ground almost looking like a bird's nest just much bigger.

When she stood on the ledge looking down at it Blue stopped pulling and turned to her. The giant smile he had on never left him and he pointed to the twig pile and looked back at her. She tilted her head not sure what he wanted and his smile fell a little his eye lights looking towards the ceiling as if thinking and he snapped his fingers. Sylvia felt like screaming as Blue started to wrap around her but the moment she opened her mouth to do so he stopped, his movements ceased. Slowly he held his arms out to her. He looked back to the pile on the ground back to her his eye lights starting at her feet and drifted up examing her form.

She gripped her arms not sure if she liked the way he looked at her but then his smile came back in full force making her feel calm again. He moved towards her and wrapped his arms around her torso and lifted. Sylvia felt the ground go out from below her as Blue lifted her over the rocks and towards the pile of twigs and grass. Carefully he let part of his body drop down into the pit and slowly Sylvia watched as the rocks glid past her vision as he placed her down into the pile of twigs below her.

Was this a nest? Did snakes make nests? She could've sworn most snakes would take the burrow of a rabbit of some other creature but making nest like a bird...That was pretty unheard of.

She patted the nest around her examing it. Considering the only branches they had were the ones that were placed in by the workers it was kinda impressive. Large enough for blue to curl around in twice if wanted too. The twigs scratched gently at her skin but the grass blue had gathered helped cushion the sharp twigs.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she could see Blue watching her as she examined his nest. He glanced at her and stilled like he was waiting for her to do something. "Is this your bed? It's uh, very nice?"

Almost immediately Blue wrapped his arms around her and laid in the nest keeping his long tail outside of it. The blue light illuminating the area in an almost dream-like way. Sylvia wondered if he was keeping his tail away from her because of her fear.

He was very considerate and a part of her wished she wasn't so scared of him.

Blue pressed the side of his head to hers and began to rub the side of his skull into her cheek. The nuzzling made her cheeks flush pink wondering if he was doing this as some kind of scent marker. Gently she pressed her hands to his skull and gave a gentle shove.

She glanced downward unable to meet him in eyes. "Uh, Blue as nice as this is I can't really stay. Thell notice if I'm gone for too long."

Blue let out a chirp his hands cupping her face. He tilting her head up to look at him, face getting closer. His eye lights shrank before slowly becoming larger and filling the sockets, bright blue like before they seemed like high beams in a dark hallway. The lights slowly became bigger then she felt something hard on her lips, smooth and cool to the touch. Warm air touches her face as something thin and soft pushes at her lips. The blue lights in his sockets dance around like there were trying to pool out into the cave making her shoulders slump and head feels fuzzy.

Something thin pokes at her mouth and for a split second her mind tells her to pull away but it is quickly dashed by the fuzzy feeling in her head. Blue hands run up further into her hair as he presses her skull harder against his. The thin appendage she could only assume was his tongue parted her lips slightly and brushed against her teeth.

The moment his tongue tried to pass her teeth the spell he seemed to have on her shook and she felt like she was falling reaching for something too far out of reach. She gripped his hands in hers and pulled them away from her face twisting her head away from the invader sticking out of his mouth. "What are you doing?" Her voice shuddered as she looked at his ocean colored tongue dangling out of his mouth. Blue stared as he normally does before slipping his tongue back inside his head, tilted, confused at her reaction. His eye sockets were no longer filled with the bright beams of light as before and were now back to there small blue lights. The fuzzy feeling was gone from her head.

Sylvia stood up and pulled away from him. She didn't know what he just did to her. He had kissed her of sorts, sure, but was that what his intentions were? That can't have been it. They weren't' even the same species. "I should go back. Now that we know I can open the door we just gotta wait for the right time to break you outta here." She turned away from Blue and headed to a shallow path. It had been barely noticeable in the light and looked steep.

If she went about it carefully she could climb it without help from Blue. She gripped the wall, rock cold and rough under her hand as she pulled herself up onto a small ledge. She goes to pull herself up onto the next one but something grips her wrist and yanks her back. She can feel arms wrap around her and pull her back. Sylvia squirms trying to wiggle free of the boney grip wrapped around her. She is placed next to Blues nest and as soon as her feet touch the ground she turns to glare at Blue.

Blue doesn't notice as he's plopped himself onto the ground below her. His hands curling into the dirt and his eye lights look anywhere but at her face.

Sylvia notes in most dogs animals make take a crouching position as a form of submission but, some animals take on crouching as a form of attack. With that small flake of thought and the fact that half his body was literally what plagued her nightmares caused her to cry out and pull back.

She moved too quickly backward and stumbled to the floor. Her knees hit the dirt and rock roughly shooting a bit of pain in her snapping her from her thoughts. Blues head shot up from the ground looking over her frantically before he pulled himself in closer stopping to look at her. He reached out to examine her but she pushed back away from him covering her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She curled in on herself. It felt like that dam that she had been long bordered up was suddenly broken. Everything from her brother's hate-filled attitude towards her, breaking into her bosses office, hiding from the guards to breaking into the nagas cage had broken the walls she had unknowingly built and now to top it all off she had just shoved and pushed her best friend away all because he MIGHT have hurt her.

It was college all over again.

"I'm sorry, i'm sorry, im'sorry..." Her words began to mumble together as she felt her eyes burn and throat tighten. Her chest hurt as tears fell from behind her hands hoping Blue wouldn't see the ugly crying face she made.

Something nudged her head but she couldn't bear to look knowing it had to be Blue. Hard but firm arms wrapped around her carefully as if afraid she would break further if they didn't. She felt herself being pressed into Blues ribs as he let out a low purr and a chirp.

He was forgiving her.

Sylvia cried harder but this time but instead of pushing Blue away she returned his hug keeping her head down and burying her nose into her sleeve to keep the snot off of him. As his purring increased she cried harder trying to suppress her distress so much that she didn't even notice Blue was slowing lifting her out of his nest and carrying her carefully back to the exit she had entered in from.

She felt his grip tighten around her but didn't look up. She wasn't ready yet and didn't want to leave the comforting embrace of her friend. It seemed that he didn't want her to leave either as he curled up outside the door. He sat Sylvia on top of his coils unknowingly to her as she simply continued to cry into her sleeve.

His hand rubbed gently up and down her back soothing her cries down into much smaller sobs.

The way his hand rubbed up and down her back gave her a similar feeling that she felt a long time ago. The warmth and comforting hand trailing near her spine felt so familiar to her. Who else had done something similar for her?

There was only one person she could think of that would do this when she was having a bad day. His hands were bigger and he would move the tips of his fingers up and down at a faster pace than Blue, but the comforting way and sense of wanting to help her felt the same. Slowly her sobs softened and she persuaded herself to pull back out of Blues hug.

Her lungs burned and her eyes felt tired and puffy but she managed to look up into Blue's face. His smile no longer bright and he looked like he had wanted to cry just as badly as she did.

"I-" What could she say to what just happened? Hey, Blue thanks for giving me an awkward human kiss? Was that a kiss? Thanks for babying me? Thanks for... 'sometimes the answer is simpler than you think' words echoed in her head.

"Thank you, Blue. I haven't had a hug like that in a long time." He chirped at you and hugged you again. His smile bright again but his eye bones arched in worry for her.

"The last time someone hugged me like that was my dad." He let out a low purr of encouragement. "He was a good man and a greater dad. He would have liked you, I think..? Probably wouldn't have liked you kissing me though." She lets out a nervous chuckle but Blue only looks confused.

She felt incredibly stupid now.

He didn't know what a kiss was at all. Whatever he did had been something else. Her hand twitched wishing she could slap herself with one of the stalagmites in his cave but he would stop her before she had the chance.

She shook her head dismissing his confused stare. "It's okay if you don't know what it is. As a matter of fact, I'd say dad would be more likely to forgive you if you don't know." Blue seemed less saddened by her statement and nuzzled into her neck letting out soft purs.

"Okay, okay." She shifted but raised her hand and began to scratch at his skull with the stubs of nail she did have. He stopped purring suddenly and she froze. Did she hit a nerve or maybe an old wound?

He suddenly tightened around her again his purring picking up speed as he nuzzled harder into her neck and chirped. She relaxed and continued to scratch similarly the way he had done to her. She could never rub his back the same way he did hers since he consisted mostly of bone and air. She might have to try and scratch his spine next time if he allowed her.

As she pulled away from Blue she looked down and let out a squeak of surprise realizing she was no longer anywhere near the nest and was now seated on top of his blue coils. She stopped breathing for a moment as Blue blushed a pretty shade of lighting blue and lifted her off of him. He set her down a bit aways from the door and away from his coils.

"S-sorry Blue. I don't mean to be so afraid or anything." He chirped again and nuzzled his face to the top of her head. He pulled back hesitantly looking between her and the door letting out more chirps.

"Yea, Im sorry. I have to go back it would be really suspicious if they found me in here. But I'll definitely bring you more Tacos or maybe I'll get you some nachos to shake it up, oh I know a shake...wait that might be too cold for you..." Blue let out a chain of small hissing that he tried to cover with his hand but she still picked them up. His eye lights going back to the star-shaped form and spinning around.

She thought she might freeze but the hissing sounded different from a snake it sounded more human?

Giggling? Blue was laughing at her!

She felt her cheeks pull up into a grin and found herself giggling with him. "Thank you again, Blue. I promise ill bring something tasty back with me next time." He nodded and chirped as she carefully made her way back to the door. "Goodbye for now Blue. Sleep tight and I'll let you know as soon as I find out about what the plan is to get you out of here okay?"

Another nod from Blue as she opened the door with a harsh tug making the door creak open with difficulty.

"GOODBYE SYLVIA!" A loud proud voice echoed in the room around her.

She jumped looking at Blue with wide eyes waving to her as the door closed behind her. She looked around the room to see no one but her inside it.
