Aila

Aila was about four now and she could walk, she had been standing on two legs today even though she preferred the ground, it was probably the wolf in her now. Aaka was still raising her of course, and because no humans were around she learned wolf speech. Seeing movement, acctually it was just a falling leaf. A growl sounded from her throat and she attacked it in a wolf like manner. She landed on her hands an knees scraping them quite a bit on small rocks under the snow. She hardly felt it though since she had formed calluses on her hands, feet, knees, and anything else she crawled on the ground with. She mainly crawled like the wolves though she found she couldn't run as fast on her hands an knees, she would have to resort to running on her feet later on when she learned how to run on her hands and knees.

Aaka

The wolfess sat and watched her 'daughter' with a mothers kindness. Her wounds were slowly starting to heal and for this Aaka was greatful. She couldnt do anything with so many injuries littering her body. She smiled faintly as Aila fell and did not cry. The girl never cried. She howled suddenly calling to her own children and Legosa wishing for them to come meet Aila. How she was going to convince Legosa of this she did not know but she would find a way.

Enzel

Enzel, finally stopping to catch his breath, found himself in a strange area. He had ran for what seemed miles from a human who caught him killing an owned rabbit. He even lost his kill when he was escaping death. Lucky for Enzel, the human couldn't manage to run through the forest fast enough.

"Nice going Enzel. You got rustled up AND you dropped dinner. It tasted delicious too..Gruff!"

He pawed in anger at the dirt and growled at every little thing that moved. Another day will pass and a suppply of energy will be gone. He had to eat soon. Anything would seem good right now...

Aila

While Aaka was busy howling Aila heard something not far off in the trees and curiosity got the better of her and she stood on two legs for once walking slowly into the woods. Her eyes instantly noticed the black wolf and she watched him with curious eyes. Her blue eyes watched his movements pressing herself against a tree growling back at his growls like she had down with her sibling pups, even though she was not a pup herself.

Enzel

At that moment, Enzel's ears perked up. Something or someone else was here. ~The hunter must be back. It smells human but very faint. I am curious but I must not let my defense down~ Slowly, Enzel crept toward where the scent came from. A tree was in his way. He started to sniff around the tree until he came upon two small pink feet. He raised his muzzle to come face to face with Aila. He looked at her carefully, sniffing her face.

"I have never seen a human as small as you. Now the question is if you are a threat or an annoyance.."

Aila

She didn't back down when the wolf came around the tree. She wasn't scared of wolves since she was being raised by them. When he got in her face she bared her not so sharp teeth. She thought they were like the wolves but they weren't that sharp at all. She growled, but in a playful way. She wasn't used to wolves attacking her so she was never to sure at the moment who was an enemy or who was a foe.

Enzel

Enzel gave a bark like laugh and put his nose on her forehead.

"You look like a human but act like a wolf pup. And not the annoying ones. The ones who will know who is the enemy and who is your friend. Since you don't speak the wolf talk, I can't exactly be here. I have to get something to eat before I eat my own tail..See ya round kid."

Aaka

The mother stood near and watched Enzel silently "Ah but you could stay if you so chose to mon ami." Her words were softly spoken and chosen well. She watched him through haunting yellow eyes that seemed to dance with inner demons. Although battered and torn the alphess still held a fiercness about her that would never leave her. "I have food if you would like. A place to stay if you wanted as well." She smiled at Aila warmly and then turned back to the wolf. Her look was clear. Shes mine

Enzel

Enzel once again gave his bark-like laugh. His icy blue eyes sized up Aaka. He bared his fangs and not in a pleasing way.

"I don't take help from anyone. Besides, by the scent, a wolf pack is here. No wonder my boys downstairs were going mad."

He started to slowly walk towards Aaka. He had his tassel upright and he held his head up high. Even though he has enver been in a pack since puppyhood, his instincts took over. ~I will not let anyone feel superior over me..~

"I am not a foolish wolf. I don't refuse food when I am on the verge of collasping. I will accept your 'generous' offer. But after my gut is full I am outta here."

Aila

Aila had grabbed Enzels tail before Aaka showed up and she let go when she did. she hurried over to Aaka and grabbed her around the neck pressing herself against the fur giving a slight whimper of affection to Aaka, her surrogate mother. She kept her eyes on Enzel her eyes tracing to his scar between his eyes with wonder.

Aaka

Her eyes narrowed and she said in a murderous tone "And what is in this for me?" Although injured Aaka was still fierce as ever and still a killer born and bred. Darkly she watched him as Aila wrapped her arms around Aakas neck the alphess held still her own banner held high and above her back in an arch. This was her land, her dream.

Enzel

The hair on Enzel's spine prickled. He finally saw the authority in this wolf. The stance of an alpha. Though he never met one, her cold stare was different from other wolves he met.

"You have your mind at rest knowing that you won't let a starving wolf die. But if you are going to leave me to die, I only ask one question. What kind of human is clinging to you? I have seen tall ones, fat ones, ones as black as my fur, and even ones with eyes slanted like a stick. I have yet to see a human that small but does not fear a wolf. The last human I ran into tried to kill me with his exploding stick.."

Enzel lowered his head, showing his respect for the alpha. For all he knew, if he made one wrong move, he could be in another fight. After the last one, giving the scar on his face, he wouldn't dare to fight even if he was full of meat.
