Cost of Life

Chapter 5: Discoveries

By Sci the cheetah and Arlian

Jake yawned and stretched as he woke up the next morning. He then began to lick over Colin's face to wake the human up as well. "Wake up, Sleepy. You've got to go get to work," the wolf said as he continued his barrage of licks.

Colin let out a faint murmur and started to bat the wolf tongue away. "Nnnnngh....I'm up, I'm up..." he groaned as he sat up, using the blanket to wipe away the wolf saliva. "Jake, I think you need to brush those things."

Jake burped over Colin's face just to tease him before he went into the bathroom and began to brush his teeth. "You know, I'm going to be leaving today, but I did enjoy our time together. If you ever feel like you're no longer in love with Sam, my offer still stands. I do like you. But I know that you care a lot for Sam, so I won't stop you."

Colin wrinkled his nose slightly at the scent of Jake's powerful burp before snickering softly. "Yeah I enjoyed our time together too. And if that happens I'll remember your offer," he said with a soft smile before moving in to hug the Arctic wolf. With that done he got dressed and headed off for Sam's library.

Jake smiled and watched Colin's rump secretly as the boy went down the hall towards Sam's room. It was going to be a while before he would see him again, but he knew that it would be worth the wait.

Colin couldn't help feeling happy, so much so that he almost felt like skipping all the way to Sam's room. Thankfully he kept it to himself and soon saw the decorated door to the cheetah's bedroom. "Alright, now it was behind the dresser...or was it a bookcase..." he murmured while he slowly opened the door.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about it," Sam said as he came in behind the boy. "While you've been here, I've been working on something for you. I need you to come with me, Colin." The cheetah had a slightly sad look on his face as he exited the room.

Colin blinked when he turned around to see Sam, noticing the strangely sad look on his face. 'Oh no...did he hear about me and Jake?' he thought to himself as he darted after the cheetah, looking worried. "Is something wrong?"

"No. Actually, things are good. For you, that is. There's someone I think you need to meet," Sam said as he led the boy down the hall. He brought him into a small room and there was a female cat sitting there looking at the two of them. She had calico fur and many would definitely call her attractive. "Colin, this is your mother."

Colin's eyes widen at the sight of the feline, feeling like his heart stopped. "M-My....mother?" he asked, his breathing a little hushed as he looked at the cat. She was indeed beautiful, in every sense of the word, but he couldn't help wondering; if this was his mom, why was he a human?

"Hello, Colin." The cat giggled a bit as she looked over him. "You look as cute as you did the day you were born. I just wish your father could have seen you. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. I am more than glad to answer them," the female said. She had been sitting on a large, black leather couch. She gently patted the cushion next to her, urging him to sit.

"I'm going to go take care of some things...unless you want me to stay, Colin," Sam said, looking over to the boy. The cheetah still had the same sad look on his face as if there was more to it, but he didn't mention anything else.

Colin swallowed nervously, the cat's compliment hitting him in an odd place. "Actually Sam...could you stay?" he asked after a long pause, looking to the cheetah with a hopeful look in his eyes. "I do have questions...for both of you, not just my...mom."

A slight smile appeared on the cheetah's face as he moved in and closed the door. "Of course," the feline moved in and sat in a nearby lazy boy.

"So, what would you like to know first?" the calico asked. A smile was spread across her face as she watched her son. It was obvious that she was happy to see him again.

Colin walked over to sit on the couch, but even on a separate seat he was still close to Sam. "Well...how did Sam find you, for starters," he began, his mind buzzing as he talked to the practically alien cat. "And...if your a cat, why am I a human?"

"Well, I had actually found him. I had gone back and I started to look into trying to find you so that we could be reunited. Fortunately, Sam was doing the same thing. It was just a coincidence that he had gotten to the old orphanage right before me. As for why you're human, you get it from your father's side. He was a wolf, but his mother was a human. I still keep in contact with her.

"You see, both your father and his father died in the military. Different wars, but they still went in. Your father was an amazing man. He died shortly before you were born. I had suffered from some severe depression and I ended up almost killing myself. But then I thought about you and I figured that I should at least let you live. After having you for a month, I dropped you off at the orphanage. I told them that I couldn't take care of you and that your name was Colin. I didn't find out that they had changed into a Catholic orphanage a year after I left you there until I came in."

Sam laughed. "You should have seen the look on your mother's face. Boy, she sure was an angry kitty. She definitely made a few of the priests cry. What else would you like to ask us, Colin?"

Colin listened to the story, his eyes seemingly lost in his own thoughts. From the sound of things, it added up; why he seemed to be treated so badly by the nuns, his healing power, his different views on everything. When he finished thinking he looked up to the cat and swallowed. "So...you gave me away...because you loved me?" he finally asked.

"Yes. I was afraid that if I kept you and my depression continued that I might hurt myself, or worse, you. I didn't want that to happen. I've always loved you, Colin," the feline said as she pulled a necklace out of her shirt. On the necklace was a small locket. The Calico opened it up to reveal a picture of herself when she was younger holding a baby human. "This is what gave me the courage to live. I finally got over my depression, but I haven't had a stable job until just recently. I'm finally able to take care of you, Colin. I finally get to have my son live with me."

Colin's eyes widen in sudden shock. If he'd been asked to come live with her less than a week ago he would've said yes. But now, things were different. He loved Sam, and he didn't want to leave him. He turned to look at the cheetah, wondering if this was why he looked so sad earlier.

Sam looked away. "As far as we're concerned, your debt is paid. I've told her about everything. About the snowstorm, about the vore, about my magic....and about Jake," Sam said as he stood up. "I...I just want you to be happy Colin. Go live with your mother. You're free." Sam reached over and grabbed Colin's collar. The band around his neck immediately slipped off before the male feline left the room without looking back.

If Colin was looking into a mirror, he would've seen his eyes bulging out like a cartoon character's. The sudden chill of the collar leaving his neck made tears slowly form in his eyes. "S-Sam...!" he began, but not soon enough as the door swung closed. Standing up, Colin looked to his mother with a soft smile. "Mother...I'm glad I've met you, I really am but...I can't live with you. I love Sam, and I'm only realizing this so I have to tell him or he'll be hurt. Please...I'll come visit, I'll invite friends, and I'll love you forever, but I want to stay here."

"But...what about your boyfriend? Jake? Won't he be hurt? I've missed you so much, Colin. Are you sure that you don't want to come back with me? I have a lot of questions for you as well," the feline said as she placed a paw on Colin's shoulder.

Colin shook his head. "Jake's not my boyfriend mother; if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have known how much I really care about Sam," he said, giving the feline a hug shortly after. "I'll answer any questions you have, after I do this. If you want, I can ask Sam if you can stay here, so we'll be close," he offered, giving a warm smile.

The feline laughed as she returned the hug. "You really are my son. I was just thinking the same thing. This is a very nice place and I would love living here. There is one last thing I think you should know. My name is Ellen Carter. I know that they didn't give you a last name at the orphanage, so now you have one. Now go get him before he gets too far."

Colin smiled; he finally had a full name. Now all he needed was Sam. "Thanks." With a quick hug and a gentle kiss on the cheek, the human darted out the door and toward Sam's bedroom. "Sam! Sam where are you?!" he called out, his voice sounding desperate and full of worry.

"He left to go meet with a naga friend of his to set up a vore party here. He seemed very sad," Jess said as she came up behind him. "Wait a sec, where's your collar?"

Colin swiveled on the ball of his foot, turning to face Jess. "Which way? More accurate, where?" he asked quickly, looking ready to explode from the building stress in his chest. "I have to find him, right this second!"

"He's out front. But you'd have to hurry if you want to catch him," Jess said. "Go on. Hurry up."

He nodded, smiling his thanks to Jess. "Oh um, I don't know if it's any of my business, but you should go talk to Lilly sometime," he said to her with a happy look before dashing toward the front. Colin felt his lungs squeezing against his ribcage, but he would see to that after he got to Sam. He began to see marks that meant he was close to the front door, until he saw the door itself.

Sam himself had just walked outside the door and was going to his carriage. "Oh, Colin...I'm going to miss you," he said out loud but to himself.

"Sam wait!" he cried out, running even faster now that he had Sam in his sights. He recognized the carriage and knew if it started moving he'd never catch him. "Stop Sam please! I need to talk to you!"

Sam stopped, but didn't turn around. "Yes, you can visit me whenever you'd like. And I left the clothing I found you in on your bed in your room along with some other gifts for you. You'll have to let me know how things go with your mom. But right now, I have to go. I'm meeting a friend."

"OOF!!! Colin? What are you doing?" The cheetah squirmed a bit under the human. "Don't you need to go do stuff with your mom or something?"

Colin got up off the cheetah, helping him up shortly after while he quickly snatched back the collar and clipped it back on. "You aren't getting rid of me that easily Master," he stated firmly, but his eyes showing a glimmer of absolute joy.

Sam sighed heavily as he got up and sat down. "I told you. I'm not your master anymore. Well, I guess you're going to have to come with me. I'm sure your mother will be fine for a short while before we get back."

Colin began to stare hard at the cat, lifting his head up to face him. "You're not listening. Bad kitty," he said simply before leaning forward and kissing Sam as best he could with the little experience he had to begin with.

Sam's eyes widened before he murred and gently wrapped his arms around Colin, holding him in the kiss for a minute before breaking it. "But what about..."

"Jake? Well, as you might put it 'Great in bed, good conversation, but no real commitment'," he said with a smile at the cat as he explained what he and the wolf decided on the night before, than going on to tell him about his strange dream.

"This still doesn't change the fact that I'm no longer your master," Sam said with bit of a grin on his face. He gently pressed his nose against Colin's.

"Says who? Mother's alright with it, I'm sure you'll be alright with it even though she'll be living with us in your palace," he said, his own grin coming up as he nuzzled against Sam's nose.

"You're my boyfriend now. That's better than being my pet. I've liked you since I first met you, but I knew that you were having trouble adjusting, that's why I didn't say anything. I know that we still need to get to know each other better, but I think that we can make it," the cheetah said before giving the boy a quick kiss before the carriage began to slow down.

Colin smiled at Sam as he felt the quick kiss. "Well in that case, could I maybe have some clothes? Oh and...I kinda want to keep the collar, I think it's grown on me," he said before adjusting it slightly, his face a little blushed at the thought of it.

Sam giggled and opened a secret compartment in the side of the carriage. Inside was a nice dress shirt and some pants along with some nice underwear that Colin would like. Sam then reached into his pocket and pulled out Colin's collar. "Here you go. I did change the spell on it however. You know longer have to obey all of my commands."

Colin smiled up at Sam as he quickly got dressed, liking the feel of all the clothes on his body. Though he did feel a little confined, he didn't let it bother him before clipping on the collar. "Well I would've liked to anyway...since I'm used to it now," he said with a happy smile at the cheetah.

"If you're wondering why the clothes fit, it's because of the carriage. I built it with my magic. I'll explain more about that later though," Sam said, giving a kiss to the boy before exiting the carriage. They had arrived at a nice pizza parlor.

Colin snickered softly as he was kissed by the cheetah, following after him when he seemed to recognize the pizza parlor. "S-Sam...are we...back where I'm from?" he asked in brief astonishment at where they were now.

"Well, it's near where I picked you up. It's the reason why I have a cabin out here. They have the best pizza," Sam said to the boy. He held out his paw for Colin to hold while they went in.

Colin nodded, realizing that they were back in 'his world', to put it bluntly. Taking Sam's paw and smiling softly, he followed the cheetah into the parlor as he wondered how long it must have been for him since he left.

"I come out here every weekend. I have been for years," Sam told the boy as they walked inside. The cheetah looked around before seeing his friend. In the corner of the room was a pink naga. Only thing was, it was obvious that this naga was a guy. "Hey, Karen. It's good to see you again," Sam said as he hugged the naga.

The naga giggled and returned the hug. "Oh, darling. You look just as handsome as ever. And who's this handsome little sweetie?"

"This is my new boyfriend, Colin. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?" The feline giggled as he pulled the boy in close and hugged him tight.

"Of course he is. How long till you two become one?"

Colin blushed as he was hugged by the cheetah, the strange pink naga surprising him a bit while he laughed softly. "Heheheh...i-it's very nice to meet you sir," he said, not wanting to be overly formal with someone he just met. Karen's question seemed to send a faint chill through the boy's body. "Be...Become one...Sam, what does he mean by that?"

"Oh, I keep forgetting that you're able to reform your prey. And Hun, you had better not call me a he again. Isn't it obvious that I'm a woman?" Karen said bashing his eyelids at the boy.

"Karen, we'll be right back. You know what kind of pizza I like so just go ahead and order. We'll get drinks when we get back," Sam said as he led the boy back outside.

Colin swallowed faintly as he was led back outside, afraid that he'd said something so stupid he'd have to be sent home. When they were outside, he turned to Sam and said, "I-I'm sorry if I said something stupid Sam, I really am! I hope...that you aren't going to send me home for slipping and making an idiot of myself..."

"No, it's okay. I should have explained the whole vore thing to you completely. You see...I'm not really a cheetah," Sam said as they sat down on a bench that was outside the restaurant.

Colin blinked faintly as he listened. "Not a cheetah? But...well I mean, you look like one, act like one, hump like one," he paused before letting out a snort at the comment, "and you even smell like one! How can you be anything but a cheetah?"

"Well, this is just the form I'm in. Before this I was a meerkat. You see...I'm a Celestial Being. I cannot truly die. The longest I was dead for was a week. A lot of my memories get wiped away when I die, but the most important ones stay. As a Celestial Being, I have a lot of magical power that allows me to reform my prey. I put this power into these collars. As long as you where one of these collars, you will be reformed. However, if you were ever to take it off and be gobbled up, you would become one with your predator. He would digest you and you would become apart of the food chain."

Colin flinched at the explination, his body attempting to understand all of what Sam told him. "S-So....you're not really a cheetah..." he said, looking sad, confused, and frightened of what he was told about never taking off his collar. "Does...that mean we don't...have a chance together...?"

Sam smiled and held Colin close. "Well, there is a way. I haven't told anyone about it because I'm only supposed to tell the person I truly love about it and no one else. As for me not really being a cheetah....Let's just say I chose this form after I died. If I was ever to die again, I could choose a different form if I wanted."

Colin felt tears start to well up in his eyes, doing his best to not say anything or cry. He looked at Sam, a little hopeful about what the being had in mind for them. "What is it?"

"I wasn't born a Celestial Being. After so many years, eventually some Celestial Beings grow tired of living and want to pass on into the afterlife. In order to do so, they need to pass their powers onto someone else. My father was a Celestial Being before me. He still is. However, he has decided that it's time for him to pass on. If you really want, I could have him perform the ceremony," Sam offered.

Colin blinked in surprise, his body giving a light tremble. "You mean....we could live together...forever?" he asked in a bit of a shock, his eyes almost bulging from his sockets but thankfully they were in place tightly.

"Yes. And if you ever wanted to be something else, it would be possible. But that's only if you want to. Otherwise, I will give up my powers right now so that we can slowly die together. I want to live happily with you forever, Colin."

Colin's face began to beam in complete amazement and he clung to Sam. "Oh yes, yes please!" he cried, tears finally escaping him but being tears of pure joy, nuzzling into Sam's slowly moistening fur.

Sam giggled a bit and hugged the boy. "Calm down. We'll talk about it more later. As for right now, we have to put together a vore party. And before you ask, it's a party for predators, prey, watches, ect. Basically, it's a get together for everyone of the vore community. I know you're still uncomfortable with it, so you don't have to be there, but you tagged along for the ride, so you're stuck with me for the weekend."

Colin sniffled before calming down, nodding to the cheetah as he gave him a soft kiss. "Well, I told you about my dream right? The one with the cheetah coated cobra," he said, feeling a smile come to his face. "If you want, I could be prey to you for the evening or something. I want to help out as much as I can."

"Dream? Cheetah coated Cobra? You didn't tell me about this. I want all the details later. But if you really want to be the prey, then I don't have a problem with that," Sam said. "Let's get back inside. I'm sure the pizza is ready."

Colin blinked for a moment. "But I could've...ok, I'll tell you later," he said, wondering why he hadn't told him earlier. It must've slipped his mind, but he quickly followed the cheetah back in, still smiling happily at him.

"So, I'm guessing you told him about the food chain, right darling?" Karen asked as the two sat down. A large cheese pizza was in the middle of the table and two slices were already gone. Sam himself took one of the two remaining plates and served himself some pizza.

Colin felt his stomach grumble as he looked at the pizza, quietly taking the last plate and taking two slices to eat for himself. He looked over to Karen, blushing over himself as he nodded. "Yes ma'am...he explained everything to me," he said a little nervously while he ate.

"Do you think you'll ever become apart of the food chain?" Karen asked as she cut a piece from his second slice of pizza. It was quite obvious that he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

Colin swallowed nervously. "I'm uh...not really sure I guess....I mean, I enjoy life, and I only just got together with Sam so...I can't say right now," he said, hoping Karen would take that as his answer while he ate from his own slice.

"You know, I did it once. It was with another naga, other than Karen or her brother. I had grown really attached to him and didn't know the rules of Celestial Beings back then. The feeling of being apart of your predator, becoming apart of him forever...it was amazing. Unfortunately, the feeling didn't last as long as it was supposed to. I had been reborn a few days later and that's how I ended up a Meerkat."

Colin nodded meekly while he continued, feeling nervous about the whole idea of 'becoming one with your predator' as Sam put it. It may've sounded amazing, but the human didn't feel he'd be ready for the possibility of death in his future.

"Perhaps, we'll try it someday when you're ready for it, but for right now, I like you just the way you are," Sam said as he hugged the boy and gave a long lick over his cheek.

Karen giggled. "You two are so cute together," he said. The three continued to eat while Karen and Sam went over the guest list and the snacks they would be preparing for the party. The pizza was long gone by the time they had finished setting everything up on paper. All that was left was to send out invitations and to prepare the house and food when the time came. Then it all came down to the evening's show.

"Colin has already volunteered to be the meal. However, I think that we should have someone other than me do it. I know that Nagas have been big hits as predators lately at these functions. I heard the party Amar threw was amazing. Unfortunately, I couldn't go because I had gotten sick. Is that okay with you, Colin?"

Colin had been listening to Sam and Karen the entire time while he at his food, feeling a soft smile come to his lips. When he heard Sam mentioned him volunteering, he blinked in surprise. "W-Wait, I thought I was going to be Sam's meal...and in private!" he started, his face taking on a nervous, worried look. "What's all of this supposed to mean?"

"At every vore party, there's a public displaying of vore. I was hoping that Karen's brother could be your predator. It's not like it's going to be some stranger," Sam said. "But if you don't want to, I understand."

Colin swallowed faintly, his face still wearing a blush. "W-Well...if it's really ok with you Sam....I-I'll do it," he said, briefly looking downward. He wanted to get over his fears for Sam, and he'd do just that. Even if it included embarrassing himself.

Sam smiled and nodded. "It will still be a few weeks before the party so you'll have plenty of time in my stomach first." Sam giggled and nibbled on Colin's neck teasingly.

Colin nodded softly before squirming lightly in Sam's hold as he was on, chuckling nervously. "Heheheh...that's good to hear," he said while he started to smile again. He kept reminding himself this was for the one he loved, and he'd get over his fears.

After lunch, the two said good bye to the pink naga, reminding the human a second time that he was a "girl" and they headed back to the nearby cabin where they would be spending the next two nights alone together. "I can't believe it's been a week already. Of course, I was here for longer than the weekend last week because of the snow storm. Hopefully, there won't be another one, right?"

Colin gave a happy nod while he started to remember all of the times they spent in this cabin, a soft smile coming over his face. "Yeah, hopefully...so um, what's the deal with that Karen person? I mean...is Karen a girl or boy?"

"He's a boy, but he was in a car accident a few weeks ago. He had amnesia for months and while he was gay before, he was extremely gay afterwards. Because of his pink scales, the nurses mistook him for a girl and after he got his memory back, he enjoyed being a girl so he insisted on us continuing to call him one."

"Oh....that must've been one really bad car accident," he said, feeling a little bad for Karen only because of the injury; not because the naga was happy being considered a girl. That part was just fine with Colin, so he'd do his best to think of Karen as a woman.

"It was. He was still in the hospital for months, even after his memory returned. But he was a lot happier afterwards. He used to be a very grumpy snake. Now, he's the guy that is so happy it's infectious. Anyways, enough about him. Let's get down to business. I want to know more about you." Sam said as he sat down on the couch.

Colin looked at Sam for a moment, wondering exactly what he meant. "Um...but I've told you everything I remember. What more is there?" he asked, beginning to think maybe Sam forgot about the human telling him all about him.

"Well, there's got to be more to you than just that. Never mind, how about you ask me some things you'd like to know about me?" Sam suggested as he laid back and pulled Colin on top of him.

Colin couldn't help blushing as he was pulled onto Sam, laughing weakly. "U-Um well...I do have a few questions..." he said, thinking long and hard on just what he should ask. "Ok, what was your dad before he became a Celestial Being? Oh wait...that isn't really about you, is it?"

Sam giggled a bit. "Well, he hasn't really changed. Not much at least. You'll see what I mean when you meet him. Fortunately, his love for my mother went away when he realized how horrible she really was. The bad thing was he didn't take me with him. Of course, I probably wouldn't be the gay cheetah you see in front of me if he had. I didn't know him before he was a Celestial Being. He's been one for about seven thousand years. In fact, he's been to one of the Celestial Meetings. It only gathers every twenty thousand years. I'll be lucky if I go to one of those."

Colin nuzzled into Sam slightly. "No I mean...what is he? A cheetah, a wolf, hell is he a polka-dotted whale?" he asked before realizing how stupid the last part sounded and snorted into his shirt. "Sorry...if he is a whale, don't tell him I thought he was polka-dotted."

"AH! He's a human. Just as I was before I became a Meerkat," Sam said before he nuzzled back.

Colin gave a soft nod, smiling as he was nuzzled. "Sam...It's kind of a shock to find out that you were a human...not a bad shock, just...I don't know," he rambled on, never having imagined the cheetah as a human or anything else.

"Well, if you could be anything, what would you be?" Sam asked the boy, giving him a long lick over his cheek.

Feeling the long lick made Colin shudder in delight before mmming happily. "Well...if I had to really decide....I think I'd want to be an otter," he said, snickering lightly at how odd he must've sounded to the cat.

Sam giggled a bit. "Otters are so cute. I'd love to have an otter boyfriend someday," The cheetah said as he pulled Colin into a kiss.

Colin felt his self doubt slowly wash away as Sam kissed him, mmming gently into the cheetah's lips. When he pulled out of the lip-lock, he giggled softly. "So...what would you want to be if you die again?"

"Well, to be honest...I don't know. After I died the last time, I thought long and hard about it. And I still haven't come up with anything. It was funny being a Meerkat for a while. I was smaller than I was as a human. But if it were to happen again, I think I'd stick to being a cheetah. That way I'd keep all of my memories. I guess I should explain some of the rules about being a Celestial Being to you. If you want, that is."

Colin felt a soft nod come to his head, understanding why Sam would want to stick around as a cheetah. "Well, just one....when you die, you don't really 'die', you come back later right?" he asked, still a little frightened of that part.

"Well, as I said before, the first time I died, I had become a part of my good friend after he swallowed me. Then, about a week later, my new body had been finished being created in an alternate dimension. At that time, I awoke in the new body and I chose my new name and form. After that, I came back to this world and I traveled a bit. My family was still alive so I hadn't inherited it yet.

"The second time I died, I was trying to save a man's life. It's still a bit fuzzy because as I told you, parts of your memory disappear when you take a new form. Anyways, what happened was there was a bank robbery and the bank robbers were going to make an example out of this one guy. I later found out that he had a family and kids. Three kids. He's one of the only people I told about myself being a Celestial Being.

"He died a few years ago and his kids are all grown up now. Two of his grandkids are my pets. I'll let you guess which two. Anyways, when I died, it was different. It was as if the Celestial Universe knew I was going to die and already had my body prepared for me. You see, the reason it took so long the first time was because parts of me were still digesting for days even though my soul had been released into my friend's body."

Colin nodded as he got the general idea; for a Celetial Being, death wasn't the end. But when Sam mentioned two of the man's grandkids were his pets, he had to think long and hard about that. "Um.....the two bunny boys?" he asked, tilting his head as he still didn't have a full idea on that part.

"You got it. Anyways, dying for a Celestial Being is similar to dying as a normal person. Except instead of moving on to the Plane of Eternal Souls, our Souls are dusted off and put back into a new body. And all of this happens in the Celestial Universe, where we get our powers from." Sam said as he held the boy tight. "Anything else?"

Colin shook his head, now having a better understanding. "I got it now. So.....how would you want me to pass on into a new body?" he asked, wondering if Sam wanted to be the one to eat him or someone else to do it.

"You mean after you become a Celestial Being?" Sam asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, I should've said that before asking," he quickly said, feeling stupid for not having done so.

"Well, I've never had anyone truly become apart of me before. Would you like to be the one and only?" he asked Colin.

Colin gave a soft blush before quietly nodding. "Sure, I'd love to Sam," he said and hugged onto the cheetah, lightly blushing still even as he nuzzled into the furred chest.

"Let's start with some nonlethal vore first though," Sam said as he gave a long lick over Colin's head, murring at the taste. "I bet you'll taste better as an otter."

Colin mmmed softly as he was licked, nuzzling lightly into the rough tongue before blushing. "Heheh...maybe, you never know," he said, wondering in the back of his mind what the difference between nonlethal and lethal vore was.

"But first, let's continue with the questions. If you have any more, that is."

"Well...what did you mean by nonlethal vore?"

"Well, nonlethal vore is where I use my magic to reform you so that no harm will come to you. But the lethal vore is where you will die and become a permanent part of me. At least you would until you become a Celestial Being as well."

He gave a quick nod. "Ok, nonlethal first," he said before nuzzling against Sam's chest again, the feel of the cat's powerful muscles against his face making him let out his own purr of delight.

Sam giggled a bit and yawned. "That's fine. But now let's head into the bedroom to get some rest. It's been a long day and I'm tired," the feline said before kissing the top of Colin's head.

Colin nodded to Sam and smiled up at him, realizing how tired he was as well with a yawn of his own. "Mmmm....lead the way," he said with a happy look on his face.

Sam smiled as he carried Colin into the master bedroom where he laid the boy down before laying down next to him. "Colin...ever since I met you, I've been falling more and more for you. I think I am ready to say this. I love you, Colin, with all my heart."

Colin blushed as he heard Sam tell him how much he felt, nodding before nuzzling into him. "I love you too Sam, and the more I spend time with you the more I seem to realize that..." he said with a happy smile. "Do you want me to tell you about that dream I had about the cheetah-coated cobra?"

"I don't mind listening to your story while we fall asleep," Sam said as he held the boy tight.

Colin smiled gently while he nuzzled into Sam. "Well, it's also why I've taken a better liking to vore. You see..." And Colin went on to explain in as much detail as he could about his dream, wanting to show Sam just how much he really changed after a while...

Sam laid there and listened to Colin's tale, moving around every once in a while as he grew more and more tired. He fell asleep towards the end of the dream with his head resting on Colin's stomach.

Just as Colin finished, he to began to feel tired, until finally he felt asleep after a time, Sam's warmth keeping him in a happy state of sleep as he shared a bed with the feline.

The two slept happily together throughout the night, while a wicked storm began to brew with a plan to ruin outdoor activities for those who had them for the next.
