Nuka

Nuka opened his eyes and looked around. He mananged to speak, "Ghost, stop" He said, pushing himself from his mate's back, she had carried him to the farm. He layed there, and closed his eyes, his side covered in blood from a gun shot womb.

Ghost

Ghost ran in with him on her back, when she got to where he could lay in a soft part of the grass she gently put him down. Looking around, she didnt see anyone, so she lifted her muzzle and emitted a call for the lady. Turning back to Nuka she licked his wound. "I must get back to the pups!" She turned and ran off, they were alone and new.

Nuka

He nodded weakly in understanding, "go" he whispered..

Lady

The lady had been busy tending other wildlife when Ghost howled. It took her a while to gather her equitment and dash outside to see the problem. "Oh, not another one!" She exclaimed, spotting Nuka and the gun shot wound to his side. It was obvious that he was weak, so this time she decided to risk an attack from him so she could help him sooner. Setting down her kit she knelt beside Nuka and took out a small needle. She stuck it in his side close to the wound. It would make the area go numb. She gave him a second shot that would make him drowsy. But this time she didn't use a sedative to knock him out because she feared he had lost too much blood and the drug would kill him.

As she waited for the medicine to take effect, she began to carefully clean the blood away from his side.

Nuka

Nuka didn't even flinch when the lady came over, he was to tired to move. He side soon went numb and he closed his eyes, not able to hold them open.

Lady

She went to work quickly when she was sure Nuka was out. After locating and removing the bullet, she closed the wound up. She listened to his heart and lungs and felt sure that the bullet hadn't injured either organs, or at least not in a life-threatening way. After checking his gums, she found they were pale. He had lost allot of blood and would be very weak for a while.

The lady cleaned the blood from his fur and made sure his sewed-up wound was clean before she put a bandage over it to help keep out infection. Nuka was too heavy for the old lady to pick up or drag, so she left him where he was. He was in the shade and close to the barn anyway, so he would be just as safe. Next she went out and got a bowl of water to set out infront of him for when he woke up. She decided to wait until he had woken up before she tried to give him any food; otherwise, an animal might come along and take it.

Nuka

After a while latter Nuka opened his eyes, he side hurt and he was very tired. The first thing that came to his mind was his mate, Ghost, and there five pups, Miika, Komia, Vindi, Ruin and Disota and his sister, Zera. He hoped they where alright. With all the strength he had he pushed himself upright but he fell back over on his side with a wince. He had never felt so helpless in his life! He tried again, determined to stay up this time, and he did! He saw the water and sniffed it before he drank, making sure it didn't have anything that would harm him. He drank thirstily, water dripping from hsi mouth. He new he was to weak to leave, but he planed to leave in the morning, after he had rested and gained 'some' of his strength back.

Starlit Eyes

Starlit Eyes knew that the Lady had tended to Nuka before she ever reached him. Her scent was on the air, although it was fainter now. The hybrid slowed down as she approached the wounded male. Her tail and head were held up to state her rank in the area. "What happened to you?" she inquired. It was apparent that he was too weak to be much of a threat to her master, so Starlit didn't bother to tell him not to attack her.

Nuka

Nuka glanced up at the wolfess, "I got shot" he said simply. He looked her over, finally decideing she wasn't a threat, "will you help me stand up?" He asked, he wanted to stand so he could leave, even though he was weak.

Starlit Eyes

Starlit hesitated a moment, "Are you sure you want to stand? I'm sure my master will get you some food soon. But.. ah, well. I'll help." She decided and padded closer to Nuka. She had learned that arguing with strange wolves could just make things worse. That last thing she wanted was an enemy that might harm her master or friends.

The hybrid crouched down beside him and pressed her shoulder against his to help brace him so he could stand. "Go slow now. If you lost allot of blood, then standing up too quickly may cause you to pass out or at least become too dizzy to see straight." She explained, recalling countless other individuals the Lady had helped in the past. "And don't eat too much, when you do get food. You might feel sick. Drink plenty of water too." Starlit added on.

Nuka

WHen she pressed her shoulder against him he pushed up slowly, if she wasn't helping him he would have fell over. Once he was standing he listened to what else she was saying, nodding, "alright, thank you" he said, drinking some water.

Starlit Eyes

"No problem." she replied with a kind smile. "If you ever need food, you're welcome to come here. And, oh, I almost forgot! If you ever see a deer around here, please don't kill it. There is one named Icelit who is a friend of ours; it's a long story." Starlit decided to tell him about Icelit, just in case. "Do you need help getting home?"

Nuka

Nuka listened, a deer for a friend? he shook his head but nodded, "fine, I give you my word, I want harm Icelit." He then listened to her next statment, "no, I'm fine, thanks though" He said. He turned around slowly and walked away a bit, "thank you again for your kindness" with that he disapeared into the woods.

Ghost

Ghost crept in after Nuka had left, she went over to the fem. Her hackles and banner raised, fangs barred. Wolfess growled at the other. "We will hunt who we want. Dont ever come near my family again, I dont care if its just to help." She snapped, warning her.

Starlit Eyes

Her tail shot up and her ears were pressed forward in direct aggression towards Ghost. Revealing her fangs, she spoke out in a growl, "If you even harm any of my friends, you'll regret it. He's the one who came to my territory here, so don't tell me what to be doing on it! As for help, my master saved his life!" Her light golden eyes were narrowed and stared defiantly back into Ghost's.

Nuka

Nuka paused when he saw Ghost rush past. He went after her and saw what was going on, "Ghost, the humane saved my life, I owe to not harm anyone around here" he said.

Ghost

GHost rolled her eyes. "You may not, but I can do what I want. Besides, it was not this ingrate who did, the human did, she cant even live on her own in the wild so she much live under rules. Its pathetic." She snarled.

Nuka

Nuka sighed and spoke calmly, "Ghost, she helped me to, please, leave her be" he said, he didn't want a fight, not now.

Starlit Eyes

"Am I pathetic for living with a human? One who helps your kind?" she questions heatedly, "For your information, I can and do hunt on my own but I prefer living with my master." Her eyes narrow more, studying Ghost, "Before you make any irrationally remarks or actions, just remember my master is the only human around that can help you if you are in need of it. And I can easily control whether you get help from her or not."

Ghost

She laughed at her. "You may be able to, but I can control if you live or not after. And she isnt the only human. There are others." She turned to look at Nuka, and decided to listen to him, and she had to get back to the pups. "Your lucky Nuka's here and that I have my pups to get back to." She snarled at her. Then turned and walked out, offering Nuka to lean on her for support.

Nuka

Nuka glanced over at Starlit before he fallowed his mate, leaning against her for support.
