White Bliss
Good Morning everyone, I hope you are all having a good one today? I have a question which I would like to open up with, Where is it NOT snowing?, lol. I have been looking on alot of pages and it seems to be snowing everywhere in the Northern Hemishpere, particularly the Western continents. So, Who is actually snow under, and who have been lucky enough to escape any form?

Well, that behind me, not much to report really, the day at school was pretty normal, I didn't do too much really, beena Monday we were tired as hell, lol, and found it hard to do any form of work at all, so, it wasn't a good day for it, and with the extra lesson after school -_-, I was very bored, although I did learn how to programme a bit better in Pascal, YAY.

Some good news though, a friend of mine in America as recently came back from a convention in Florida, he is gonna talk to me about it all later today, I look ofrward to hearing it lucky man, he Cos-Played Toboe at the conevntion with a freind who Cos-Played another WR character, should be good to hear his stories.

Not much else to say, other than it is cold and I am gonna run off to find food, lol, I need my breakfast, so I will talk to you all later, havea good day, and if it is snowing where you are, take care, and wrap up warm ^_^

Standard
Well, as the name implies nothing really special happened yesterday, my day was, for the most part, pretty much the same, although I did go to the shop for some chocolate, that was the highlight, lol.

I didn't do much, I mainly worked on my project for school, but I didn't get alot of it done unfortunatly, my sisters babay was crying most of the time so it made it pretty hard to concentrate, lol, so, I couldn't do as much as I would like to, but, I got some done.

Oh, One thing did happen yesterday, I did reach the #100 rank, thank you all, for helping me achieve that rank, but, like I say, rank dosn't matter to me, as long as you enjoy visiting that is the main thing.

The Sequel as well, I will be writing that as soon as I can, I am glad so many want to see one, and I am more than happy to write one. I will work on that whenever I can, so, watch this space.

Gotta run now, have a good day, and also, I may be changing my site pretty soon, within the wekk, so watch that too :)

EDIT

I do have one stragne thing to say here, last night, well, actually before I woke up, I had the most glorious dream, I drempt I was in some kind of huge mall kinda thing, like a shopping centre, sat a ta table with a girl, we were cahtting about random things, then, I look over her shoulder to see non other than Hige over by a shop, looking over the racks of clothes, I say something to the girl and get up, walking over tpoo him, and I remember saying to him "Hiya Hige" he nods back and says "Hiya Rich" *He knew who I was, I was giddy when I woke up, hehe) but, we carried on, and I asked "Why are you here?", to which he responded with "Waiting for the others" and as he said this, Kiba turned up, OI said Hi to Kiba, to which he responded to as well. (The strange thing is, I don't remember Tsume or Toboe turning up, lol)

Well, from there we moved on to the cinema, huge glass windows on one side, overlooking the ciy (Pretty high up) and then we went to the cinema, and watched a film. That is as far as I got before my dad woke me up, the cad, I wish I had that dream at the weekend, it would have been so much better.

Has anyone ever had dreams like that at all, from there favourite show/Anime?

Epilogue

A weird sensation came over Richard; he was still alive, in some sense? He felt himself slowly becoming heavier, was this death? A heavy darkness? If it was, he didn’t want to stay here. He felt himself still becoming heavier, as he felt his back land on something, then something strange happened, just as the darkness disappeared, he heard a voice, it was a familiar one, Cheza!? Her words were not clear, but he could her say to him, before she disappeared from him, “You have returned, welcome home, to Paradise” these words were the last thing he heard in the darkness, he could feel himself smiling.

His eyes snapped open, he as immediately confronted with a bright light, he put his arm up, and blocked out the light, squinting as the sun shone down on him. As he lay there, he suddenly realized no pain. He sat up, and touched all over his body, no scars, wounds, blood, nothing; he was back to normal, a smile spread across his face at this thought.

He sat up and looked around, he knew where he was, looking around, ahead of him a cliff top, to his right a tree, and old one, but still blooming, it had been there since he lived here, he was near home, the cliff just outside the city. He was home; he looked out onto the water as he watched the sun slowly begin to disappear across the horizon, the orange glow spreading across the water, reflecting far onto the land, creating an aura.

It was as he looked into the waters Orange glow that he realized, he remembered, Blue! Kiba! He suddenly forgot his happiness and he put his head down again, he remembered in his mind everything they had done, all the fun they had had with each other, the times, the changes they all experienced, and his subsequent death. A tear ran down his cheek, he missed them, he wanted them back, and he would not be able to live in this world without them, the tear ran off and landed on the grass at his side as the wind blew into his face, the fresh sea breeze.

He seemed to sit there for hours, the sun slowly disappeared over the horizon, and the moon came out, it was a full moon, he remembered how he had once howled to this, the stars around it glittering like a light bulb shining through paper with holes. He still felt the sadness, he couldn’t be with her, how can this be paradise when the ones he ever cared for weren’t there? Looking to the moon, another tear slipped down his cheek as he began to shake, still sitting on the ground, he let out a howl, it echoed all around, as he did it again, thinking in his mind ‘In memory of Blue’ he continued to do it several times, until eventually he had to stop, sighing heavily.

It was when he stopped he heard the footsteps behind him, at first he thought it was a person, someone from town taking a midnight wander, it wasn’t uncommon, but as he listened more closely he realized these could not be ‘human’ footsteps, they were too soft, and too far together, perhaps a wild beast, they did inhabit the area around the city. It was then he heard the voice which made him turn his head like lightning, a sudden shock running through him, “Richard”, it was Blue.

She stood behind him, in her wolf form Kiba as well, and the others, Toboe, Hige, Tsume, they were all there, Richard looked at them all, tears welling up in him, and he said, a huge smile across his face, reaching out to Blue, “Are you real?” his hand connected with the side of her muzzle as he stroked the underside, her fur felt so warm, this couldn’t be his imagination.

“I’m real, we are in paradise, I can’t believe this world, it is so peaceful, a lot better than the world before” he looked at her, and immediately, without any warning, leaped at her, and threw his arms around her, tears ran down his cheeks, tears of happiness, he could feel her licking the side of his face furiously, he was so happy she was here,

“I am glad you were here, I missed you” he looked to the others behind her, they were also smiling as they saw him, Kiba moving over to him as well, Richard extending an arm around him, “All of you” he smiled,, he felt so happy, he thought he may burst,

“We have been looking for a long time for you, over 3 months, but we followed your scent, we had word from Cheza you would be here on our third full moon, and when we heard you howling, we knew you were here” he smiled and relaxed over his shoulder, his fur seemed perfect, everything that had happened, it had gone, the pain, scars, everything.

They had sat back by the tree now, over looking the full moon, it was so bright, it was amazing. Kiba turned to Richard and looked at him, “I am sorry about what happened, I didn’t want to kill you” Kiba had a tear run down his face, they were all in there human forms, Richard simply put his hands in the air, and used one to rub the tear off his cheek,

“No more tears, we did it, everything has worked out” he moved his other hand and rested it over Blue’s shoulders, Blue resting her head against his chest, looking towards the stars, “We all did what he had to” Richard followed Blues gaze into the starry beyond, it was beautiful, a cloudless night, it made it so clear, it felt like his mind, with these people, talking, just been with them, he felt he was safe, he could do anything, a warmth filled him, was this happiness? Friendship? Whatever it was, it made him feel like he had a future where once before all he had was an empty life.

“So what do we do now then, Richard?” Kiba looked over to him, “You live here already, looks like our roles have been reversed” he smiled and they both smiled slightly, looking back to the city lights in the distance he said, looking back to him,

“We do what we can, this world is very different to the one you got used to, it will take a while to learn” he looked back to the stars, a sparkle in his eyes, lowering his tone slightly, “We have all the time in the world, this is paradise, let us enjoy it” he smiled and stood up, the others following, turning to there wolf forms, Richard looked out to the city, the lights inviting them, so warm,

“I am sure we will be fine” Blue said, standing at Richards’s side, Kiba at his other,

“Yeah, we’ll be fine” beginning to walk forward, “We have each other, after all”, the others walked as well, with him, towards the light of the city, towards where they would go, they didn’t know; what they would do, yet again, they did not know. All they did know however was they would never be separated again, and would stick together, till the end.

It was a new world, paradise awaited.


If you want me to write a sequel to this, I will, but you need to say, ^^

End of a Week
Well, unfortunatly due to the weather conditions yesterday I was unable to attend th funera, which is a shame really, I did wanna go to thatm but, hat is done is done, not alot I can really do about it.

The weather was its workst yesterday, it did not stop snoing at all ALL DAY, and I was forced by family to go out in it for several reasons, I really was not happy anout it, but, it happened :(. Lucky I didn't have to go out in it for too long a period of times, although my eet were saoked.

I didn't do much yesterday, I had my grandma over for a while, and it was good to see her. It was because at the moment my Grandad is in hospital, spme problem with his cataract, making it so he cannot see, but he is getting anf operation today, so, all the best for that.

Thats all I really have to say today, apart from havea good day, and enjoy yourself, I will leave uoi with the penultimate chapter, I hope you enjoy this one, I had an emotional time writing this lasy one up, and it really does get to me just reading it.

So here you go.

Chapter 16 – Purpose and Proposition

“Kill him, there must be another way” Blue rushed over to Richard, she could feel his shake, he was crying also, although he didn’t want to show it, she stood next to him, sitting in front of him, looking up to see the tears land on her muzzle, she looked back to Cheza, who shook her head,

“It is the only way for the spirit to be released, the key must be sacrificed for paradise to open” Cheza looked away again, Blue looking to Kiba now, who had also moved up and sat next to Blue, looking up to Richard,

“Kiba, you can’t. Remember we promised to protect him; he isn’t from this world, why does he have to suffer this fate? It’s not fair” she looked down and tears of her own developed in her eyes, she couldn’t hold them back, she whimpered, she was truly upset by the news she had just heard, but a voice came from above her, it was Richard,

“It is ok Blue, I will do this, for all the wolves, this is not my world, I do not belong anyway, this can be way of truly thanking you all, sending you to paradise, ultimate happiness” he was trying to hold back the tears and shakes now as he looked down to her, she didn’t look up, Kiba said for her though,

“I don’t think Blue could live in ‘happiness’ if you were gone though” he moved up to Blue, she was now in her human form, as well as Kiba and all the other wolves, she sat next to Richard, and Kiba put her arms around her, he looked at her, Richard also bobbed down, smiling,

“It is alright, Blue” he looked at her, and moved her eyes to look into his, still slightly glazed over, tears running down her cheek, which he cleared away using his finger, “As long as don’t forget, I will never really be gone” he was trying so badly now not to cry and breakdown in front of her, but, he found it harder and harder with each passing word he spoke to her.

It was sudden, but she suddenly threw her arms around him, and said, through her crying, “I could never live in a paradise without you, it cannot be happiness” she help him tight, he could no longer hold back his tears, and he also cried, and said, while holding her,

“It ahs been fun, I enjoyed all our time together, I liked our chats, how you treated me, how you made me feel, I really do live you for that” he pushed her away slightly, and wiped away yet more tears, smiling slightly,

“I love you too, that’s why I can’t lose you” she held him again, around the waist, resting in his lap, he ran his fingers through her hair and smiled, gently, looking to Kiba, he nodded and he slowly stood up, letting her rest on the ground,

“Blue, don’t forget me” he looked down to her as she stood up and backed away, falling over some of the rocks outcropping from the ground, and he said as he stood there, looking to her, “This is one thing, I have to do alone, don’t follow me this time” he smiled, he knew she wouldn’t be able to live, she would do something like that, and she knew he knew this, giving a gently nod of her head, she feel to her knees, and watched as Kiba moved closer to Richard,

“I am sorry Richard” Kiba moved face to face with him, he could see the tears developing in Kiba’s eyes too, Richard looked into them, and ten closed his, turning away, he looked to the sky, the stars had started to appear, and a blood red moon shone high in the sky. Looking up, he said o Kiba, looking back down, and closing his eyes, turning back to Kiba,

“Don’t be sorry, I have had a wonderful time with you, but, I guess my time is up” he opened his eyes, he had cleared his mind, he would have to accept this sooner or later, “The stars are beautiful, like the moon, do one thing for me Kiba” he looked to Kiba with a coldness in his eyes, but yet, all his feeling there,

“Sure, anything” Kiba put his right hand on his shoulder, reassuring him,

“Make it quick, I don’t want Blue to see me suffer, I love her too much for that” he looked to Kiba, and he nodded,

“I would do that anyway, I cannot watch you in pain, but I still don’t want to do this” he looked to the ground, his hand still on his shoulder, Richard reaching for it, holding it, and moving it from his shoulder,

“I know you don’t, but please, this is the only way” he looked around to the other wolves, they all had tears in there eyes, they looked upon this scene as Kiba turned back to wolf, they doing the same, even Blue. Taking one last look at them, he sighed and said, standing with his hands at his side, “Do it, now, while I am ready” he stood there, feeling the winds blow against him, he felt every snow flake hit his skin as he stood there, the winds, chilling, but, not that it would matter for long, he had been through a lot, from when he was found in the prison, to now, he had grown a lot, and if he had the chance, he would not change a thing, this is what he had always wanted, he had found friends, and even though it was ending far too quick for him, he had no regrets, her had accepted the fate handed down to him, he would never forget these people, his friends, the only ones he would even think of in such a way.

“Ok” Kiba responded, he got himself ready, and then, as the wind blew threw, he made his strike.

It was instant, and an interesting sensation, as Richard opened his eyes to look down, he felt a coldness sweep to every part of his body, going numb in the extremities. He watched as he saw the paw been retracted from his gut, the blood covering him, he could feel it in his entire torso; it had gone straight through him. He heard the screams around him as he fell to his knees, bringing his hands to hold the wound, blood covered them immediately, he looked down ,seeing it pour out of his chest, he was sure going to die from this, soon, it would all be over. He fell to his side, and rolled onto his back, looking to the stars above him.

Blue ran over to him first, the others behind her, Kiba at one side of him, Blue at his other. His eyes narrowed, struggling to stay awake, it was painful, he couldn’t breath very well, he could feel the blood fill up his lungs, and it felt like he was drowning, blood fell from the side of his mouth as he laid there, and from his nose, he felt a darkness sweep above him, but he still smiled looking up to the stars.

Blue lifted his head and rested it on her lap, stroking his head, he could hear her speaking, he still had his hearing, through he heavy beating of his heart in his head, “Richard, what will I do? I love you, please, don’t leave me” she brought her own head down to his, and kissed it, resting his head back on the snow, and turning back to her wolf form, she licked at his face taking away the blood that had come from his mouth, and the sweat coming from his head, he responded, his voice sounding ‘diluted’ struggling to speak, gargling,

“Paradise, go, to paradise” he looked up to her, reaching his hands stroking the side of both her and Kiba’s muzzle, his blood stained hands leaving marks on them as he did, he was still smiling, through all the pain he was suffering, he felt the energy slip away from him, the last of his energy been used to try and stay awake, but he still had one last thing to say, looking to Kiba, he nodded and said, quietly,

“Thank you, if I was going, to die, I wanted it, to be by you” he coughed heavily, a lot of blood falling from his mouth, hitting the ground,

“I didn’t want this, I am sorry” Kiba moved his muzzle and nuzzled the side of his face, the colour had left them now, he had lost all feeling and began to cough uncontrollably, saying, to Cheza, still coughing, becoming more violent,

“Paradise, lead them” he looked finally to Blue, tears in his eyes, and tried to continue to smile, placing his eyes on her, he reached up, and gave one last stroke, saying as he did, “I love you, Please, live” he felt the last energy leave him, it was done.

His arm hit the floor, and the one covering the wound slipped to his side, the blood flowing around him, a pool around his body, extending outwards. He stopped breathing, and the coughs stopped, the blood still trickling from the side of his mouth, his eyes looking straight up to the stairs. Cheza moved around to the back of him, tears in her own eyes as she closed them, the final honor to the dead.

Looking at his body laying there, Blue moved in closer, now in her human form, she planted, gently, a kiss on his cold lips, the blood from them staining her own lips, she whispered something under her breath as she did, placing a lone flower on his chest that had began to bloom on the mountain top, she then moved away slightly and turned back to her wolf form, still sitting near him, looking to his pale, motionless body.

The wolves all moved around his body, all colorless, and covered in blood, and without a warning, began to howl, Blue first, followed by Kiba, and then the others, even Tsume. There howls echoed around the mountains around them, shaking them to there very core, and making them reverberate with the sound of sadness; the world knew a life had been lost that night.

They seemed to howl for a long time, before finally, Blue spoke, her tears now gone, only sadness in her voice, sitting at the side of his body, looking on it, not breaking her gaze as she put his hands at his side, “I can’t believe it, he is gone, why?” she looked at him, the usual colour in her voice had gone, only sadness now remained in it,

“It had to be done” Tsume added, walking over to her, trying to sound sincere,

“Why do you even care, it is not like you ever liked him” she grunted, she snapped at him, she was angry, Tsume understood this though,

“I still don’t believe he deserved this, I grew to like him over time, I am sorry he had to die” he walked away, and sat with the others, as they looked upon Kiba and Blue as they looked at his body.

Suddenly as they sat there, looking at his body, they saw a green light emanate from the wound, a ball rising up from where it had been and heading into the air, they all looked to it as it illuminated the sky, it shone brightly, and Cheza said, looking up to it, “It is time, the spirit has fused” Cheza made her move, and began to do something, rooting herself, she began to sing, and with this, a sudden burst of light, and with that, it all disappeared, the world broke out into a garden, paradise.

A bright light surrounded all the wolves, they had no idea what was happening as they floated there, but they heard Richard’s voice, they could not answer back, but they heard him, “Welcome to Paradise” Blue wanted to call out to him, but she couldn’t, the bright light disappeared, they had entered paradise, leaving Richard there, as he slowly began to fade.

He had no idea what would happen to this world, where the Wolves had gone, or his own, but it all seemed to just melt away now, he had found his happiness, and he drifted off slowly into the darkness around him, his last thought been of Blue, and hoping she would be happy, forever more.

Finally, he had peace which he been searching for his whole life, and it felt great. Fading away didn’t seen so bad, he was happy.

Funeral
Well, we have the day off today, but, it is not fo good reasons, it is time, the Funeral is today, at a Church near where my Grandma lives, so I will be going there shortly, the problem is it looks like I may have to walk, and with what it is like outside.....

THe worst snow so far has fallen and taken residence on the ground, it is quick thick actually, and it is stil building up, I am surprised anything is actually on the road, it is that bad, but, I am sure the smaller childrem will be wnjoying it.

Not alot happened yesterday, watched the second Ginger Snaps movine on the Sci-Fic channel, it is a good film, but saying that, any film with werewolves are so cool :). I really enjoyed watching it, too bad it kept me up ill 2:15AM XD

lol, other than that my day was normal, I need to go now, so I will talk to you later, good luck and I will leave you with my story :)

(Be aware, the end of this chapter ha sa bit oif a cliff hanger)

Chapter 15 – Paradise Road

It was morning quicker than he had thought, he opened his eyes to see the sun just beginning to rise over the horizon, it was beautiful, it feel onto the snow creating oranges, yellows and all kinds of light colours, filling the air with the warmth, and moisture as the snow melted under the bright morning sun. Looking around, it seemed that the others were still fast asleep; he could see Blue resting directly next to him, her tail moving gently as she did, ‘What was she thinking of?’ Richard thought, as he patted her head and stood up, looking over to the smoking remains of the fire, some flames still inside it.

Sitting up, he looked around, and he couldn’t see anything else, apart from the cliff, and the snow, the wolves resting, with Cheza at the middle, she was important. He stood up and stretched his legs, he walked over to the cliff, hearing a voice behind him, “We need to climb this” he turned around to see Kiba stood there, “Sorry to startle you” Kiba said, moving towards him as he turned to look up the cliff face,

“I take it, paradise is there”, Kiba gave a solemn nod, Richard recognized this, it was up here they would meet there destiny. He sat down, turning and resting against the cliff, he looked upon the others as they slowly began to awake, opening there eyes, and stretching, it would be tonight, it had to be, last night was there warm up.

They had spent most of the day preparing for the climb, Kiba would stay with Cheza, while Blue would stay with Richard, they would be in charge of making sure they made it to the top ok, and not fall, they were both essential to the plan, if either were to die, paradise would be lost. Richard was able to find Cheza sitting at the bottom of the cliff later that morning, on her own, he moved over to her, and said, “Hello”, she looked to him and smiled,

“Hello, Richard, how are you?” she smiled as she said this, looking to him with kind eyes,

“I heard you once, what am I? Why am I here?” he looked to her with curiosity, and with ah tenseness in his voice, she had all the answers, but she simply cocked her head, and said to him,

“You are the ‘key’” she looked to him, as if to not understand why he was here, and this raised another question to him,

“What is the key?” he looked to her again, he wanted answers, and she was not giving many, she seemed to be simple, hiding things from him. Looking away, she said to him,

“The Key will unlock the power of paradise, when his sprit fuses with paradise gates” she looked back to him, she did not smile this time, but, before he could question her further on the matter, and what she meant be ‘Fusing spirits’ they were interrupted, the wolves were ready to go, and they were already starting to climb.

They had found the perfect path for them to follow on the way up, it was relatively clear of most of the dangers that other paths may have consisted of, and even though the wolves could have easily taken these paths, they needed to make changes for there two guest.

It did take quite a while, but it seemed they were making progress, he could no longer see the ground after a long climb, it had been difficult, he had several cuts on his arms as he had slipped climbing up. The clouds covered the ground now, like a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything, or how far they were up, but it must have been high. Little conversation had been made as they had gone up, it seemed they were all getting themselves ready, and even though they were quiet, you could see how happy they were in the way they moved.

He and Blue had made a little progress further up than the others who had to help with Cheza, they were the first ones to reach the peak of this mountain, it was a flat plateau, snow covered it all, and the dark clouds up here seemed very uninviting, making it seem very eerie. Looking around they saw nothing here, Richard began to think to himself as he stood there, the others finally reaching the peak, huffing and puffing like he and Blue had done ‘Was this paradise?’ for him, it didn’t look like it.

As they approached the centre, Cheza with them, the other Wolves seemed very excited, Richard could see hear them as they said to themselves, “Finally, we are here” Tsume said, looking around,

“Paradise, at last” Hige also looked around hastily,

“We made it” Toboe came out with, resting on the floor next to him and Blue, Richard stroked his head slightly as he lay there. Kiba walked further forward to the others, and looked around, ‘What was he looking for?’ Richard thought to himself, he seemed to be trying to find something he lost, and indeed, it appeared he found it.

Ahead of then, a bright light shone down, and then disappeared, Cheza walked forward and looked up to where the light had come from, and look forward, signaling for Richard to walk forward, he looked to the others, slowly standing up from his one knee and moved over to where she had been standing. He walked over to her, and stood with her, she seemed to look upset, she whispered in his ears as he stood next to her, the wolves tried to listen to what she said, but, it was too quiet.

Richard listened to her words carefully, his eyes widening as he stood there, he had tears in his eyes, he could not believe what he was hearing, what he had lived for, stayed with them up to this point, and now what would have to happen to him.

After she had finished talking to him, he stood there for a moment as she walked away from where he stood, and stood with the wolves, who had gathered directly behind him, he didn’t want this at all, but it would be fitting this way, it was how it should end, turning around, he didn’t look to anyone but Cheza, and even then he nodded to her as he stood there, looking down, he didn’t want them to see how upset he was, he couldn’t let emotions get in the way now, he wanted what was best for them, Cheza began to speak,

“The key understands his duty, to open paradise, his spirit must fuse with the ‘lock’” she stopped for a second and Blue shot a look from Richard to her, and said, silently, but rushed,

“Spirit must fuse? What do you mean?” she was concerned, the other wolves also looked to her as she continued to speak

“The Spirit cannot be released by just anyone, it ahs to be released by the chosen one” she looked over to Kiba, “You must release the spirit” she signaled to Richard who was still standing there, the snow falling over him, and the wind piercing him like swords. Kiba looked from Cheza to Richard, and asked, curiously,

“How do I do that?” he had no idea where to start, but Cheza’s words shook all of them, to there very core, the look on there faces all sank,

“You must kill the key” she looked down and closed her eyes as well, she knew what kind of reaction this may get, and she knew this was the only way, all the wolves had the colour drained from there faces as she stood there, Blue looked furiously between Kiba, Cheza and Richard, ‘did she hear right?’

The Eye of the Storm....
Well, the Uk continues to be battered by the Siberian Stoms been blown in over the North Sea, things are starting to look as if they are totally crazy. I woke up this morning and came downstairs, as I usually do and the first thing I had to do was turn the fire up due to the fact that it was SO COLD down here, lol, it seems to really be freezing here, I am sat here with my jacket on too. Although the snow falling outside is really pretty, I am not looking forward to going out in it.

Not much happened yestrerday relaly, I did alot of sleeping and just basically was bored, unfortunatly, I have so little to do when I take the day off school, that is why I am going in today ^__^, it gives me something to do at least, which is better than nothing and just sleeping all day :)

Tommorow will be the Funeral of the teacher, Mr Sweryt, god rest his soul, so I need to have my clothes ready, this will be the first time I have been to something so formal as this, it is going to be quite a sad event, so, I have got black clothing ready for it.

Well, I need to get ready to brace the storm, I will leave you with the next chapter of my story, hope you enjoy it, I finally got action in there, lol

Chapter 14 – A time to depart….

It was a sudden awakening, he woke up to the night above him, the first thing he saw through his blurry vision was the half moon in the sky, shining down on him, an aura on the ground. The weather had stayed calm, it was cold, and he found that he was on the snow, laid next a roaring fire, turning to it he could see the smoke raise from it, and the embers inside snap and crack as the fire engulfed the wood. Sitting up, he could not see anything but a fire, tree, where the others rested, and the empty wastelands, there was a huge cliff behind him, but, it seemed of no concern.

Getting up, he looked over to the tree, while rubbing the snow off his trousers, still soaked red from the torture he had endured so long ago. At the tree, he saw all 5 wolves, sleeping, around Cheza, her hand on there heads, he looked and smiled, he could see them smiling gently in there sleep as they rested there, this made Richard feel warm in these cold wastelands, he looked as he saw there happy faces, they were in bliss.

As he stood there, a gently breeze blowing past the cliffs, he began to think ‘They would be going to paradise now’, he knew he had been with them for a long time, and had made a lot of good friends, but what they did back at the keep was an example of how much trouble he actually was, he had made them go out of there way, in such a way to risk there lives, he didn’t want them to do this, he wanted to let them continue there journey, hence why he did it. He was not ungrateful for the help, indeed quite the opposite, he was happy; overjoyed they would do such a thing, but, he thought it was time he stopped been a bother, and even though it pained him, he decided it would be best to drift off into the night, if they did reach paradise, not a lot would be left here anyway, and everything would end, so, he was sure he could live long enough till then.

He would miss Blue and Kiba intently, but, he was happy for them looking over where they laid with Cheza, they looked do peaceful with her, he could see them smiling, this was a first time he felt they were really smiling, and not just to try and be strong, whispering under his breath he said, walking into the wind, away from them, past the burning fire, “Goodbye my friends, may you find paradise, I had fun” with this, he walked forward, picking up his pace, the wind was not strong, and he did not have to fight as he walked through the snow, compacting beneath his feet.

Walking away, he began to think what he would do, and how the Wolves would react, he did not want them to try and seek him out, and if he said goodbyes, he would not be able to leave, it would be too sad, they would be able to seek things out for themselves, he hoped they would forget him, and carry on there journey, while he would try to seek out an existence in one of the few towns left, perhaps get some work, and for the last days of this world, live out what would be considered a ‘normal’ life in this world. It would be difficult, but, it was better than been a burden on someone’s back.

He walked for about five minutes, the fire was but a distant glimpse now, he didn’t want to look back at it though, he would become ‘emotional’ if he walked forward, and not looked back, he thought he would be able to control himself, although the tears were in his eyes, he had to hold them back, he could not allow himself to become emotional. He heard running behind him, he thought to himself ‘They know, please, don’t be one’ he carried onto walk forward, pretending he didn’t hear it, and hoping they did not see him, but from behind he heard a call, he immediately recognized the voice,

“RICHARD!” it was Blue, he was sure of it, he stopped walking, but he didn’t turn around to her, he continued to look forward his head looking down still. He felt her in her Wolf form, sitting next to him, looking up he could sense she was upset, but, he didn’t want to say anything, this was hard enough already, “Richard, where are you going? You aren’t leaving are you?” she looked to him, cocking her head, a tear running down her muzzle,

“I have to” Richard said, bobbing down and looking to Blue, his eyes full of tears, now running down his cheek, he used a finger to wipe away the tear running down her muzzle, and put on a brave face, trying not to cry,

“You don’t have to, we are nearly there, paradise, only a little further” she looked up to the cliff, the clouds covered the top, the moon shining through them, now turning full, and going red,

“I have been too much trouble, back at the keep, they came back for me, risked thee lives, I didn’t want anyone to be hurt because of me, and anyway, you have what you need, Cheza, I am surplus to requirement” he looked back down, and sat down, he wasn’t going to be going anywhere now, but he had to make her understand, she nuzzled his chin, and he looked up, holding her head slightly,

“You have been no trouble, how many times have we to tell you, we are doing it for you because we are your friends, you did it for us back at the lake remember, and me in the tower, although I would have preferred not to have left you there, I did, it is the same” a sudden realization came to mind, he had been doing the same things for them, he had not even considered this, he had been doing the same things he wanted them to avoid,

“I, it, it wasn’t” he couldn’t get his words out, he knew she was right. Standing up, he looked out to the distance, and saw the fields, empty, and long, “I still have to go” he looked out, and began to feel a darkness inside him, cutting himself off,

“I won’t allow you to” he heard another familiar voice next to Blue, Kiba was stood there now, looking straight at him with his yellow eyes, staring straight at the back of his head, Richard looked down, a tear hitting the floor,

“You have what you need, Cheza, I am no longer going to slow you down, I am sorry, please, I love you all, thank you so much” he could no longer hold himself back, he broke out into a run, running as fast as he could into the wastelands, from behind, he heard Blue call to him,

“Richard, please, No” he could hear her Whimper, and howl as he ran, he closed his eyes, but the tears still escaped, he didn’t want to do this, but was left with little recourse, he cannot be a bother this way.

Before he could run very far though, he heard running behind him, and then, suddenly, he felt something hit his back, and he was knocked over into the snow. Landing on his stomach, he tried to turn over, but in doing so, he came face to face with Kiba, he was snarling, Richard could see every one of his teeth in the moonlight, as red as the moon, he looked at him like he was ready to kill him, he had seen this look so many times. His paws were firmly placed on his shoulders, he could feel the claws extend slightly, pinning him to the floor, his paw standing on his wounds, his face contorted slightly in the pain, but, he did not call out.

Closing his eyes, he began to wish he never even came here, he was about to be killed, it was a stupid idea to have tried and run, it was always going to end like this, but as he awaited for the teeth to be sank into his neck, nothing happened, but he heard the growls and snarls from Kiba, as he said to him, “Understand us, we need you, we put ourselves out to protect you because we are friends, why don’t you understand” he seemed to be angered, Richard opened his eyes to see he was face to muzzle with him, his teeth were razor sharp, he could see each one of them in his mouth. He closed his eyes again, turning his head on his side, tears streaming from his eyes, absolute terror in his voice, the fear spreading all over him as he was effectively pinned to the floor,

“I, I know you did it for, friendship, but, I keep risking your lives” he was too scared to make much coherent sense, and struggled to say what he did. As he did though, the snarl stopped, and he felt Kiba, instead of Bite into his neck, lick his face. Slowly adjusting himself, he looked back up; he was unaware actually of how many tears had fallen down his face, and how much he had sweated, Kiba looked at him, still licking away the tears and sweat, saying as he looked back at him, a little distance between face and muzzle now,

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, but this is how much I care for you, Richard, it makes me angry that you won’t just accept it, this is how we wolves show our friendship, we protect those close to us, understand” Richard looked to him, and let this go through his mind, they were not Humans after all, they were wolves, there ways were different. He then clicked, he had been such a fool, another tear feel down his cheek as it finally came to him, and he said, silently, croaking in his voice,

“I am sorry, I never thought, I didn’t think, I am….” He was cut of by Kiba, who now took himself off him, sitting next to him, saying,

“It is ok, we are not offended or anything, just, we don’t want to lose you” Kiba sat there, and Richard nodded, sitting up, he slowly stood up, wiping the snow from him, he looked back down to Kiba, and began to walk forward,

“I am sorry, I will come with you to paradise” he looked forward and felt Kiba nudge his side, looking at him, Richard bobbed down and put his arms around him, holding his White fur close to him, the warmth, he felt strength from it, more than usual, was it this moon?

They approached the camp again, Blue rested next to the fire, all the other wolves awake, Cheza also with them, Richard looked at them all, slightly blushed, and sat at the fire, not looking to anyone, Blue moving and sitting next t him, stroking her on the head, he said to her, as she sat next to him, Kiba on his other side,

“I am sorry, I love you Blue, I will not do that again” he rested, placing his head down on the snow that was beneath him, it was cold, but, he could stand it, it was as cold as his heart had been,

“It is ok, let us all rest now, just because Cheza is with us, means nothing, it has not changed a thing” she rested next to him. He looked to the sky, and then thought, ‘I am such an idiot’, and with this final thought in mind, he began to sleep.

Damn Parents
Well, as my title says, parents are annoying, I won't go into the details here, as if I did, I know I would be way too long, but lets just say, I will never look at my Father in the same way again, not after what he did last night. Thanks to him, trying to have control, I am behind with work, and I am very tired because he sent us to bed last night. All becuase me and my sister had a fight.

Other than that, an intresting night, due to a Siberian Coldfront moving over us there is ALOT OF SNOW outside, and it seems to have brought everything to a stand still. I will not be going to school today, as I do not want to risk my neck on the line just walking to school. Likely it may be closed anyway.

Othr than that, things are relaly not going to owell, I have fallen back into my depression, thanks toi my Father -_-, he nearly drove me to death unti lI remember someone, and then stopped, all I had to do was jump as ell *sigh* but, I couldn't, I just couldn't, I thought how that person would feel, and I wasn't able to do it.

I will leave you with the next chapter in my story, thank you for all your kind words about the eatcher, I will be attending his funeral on THursday, god rest his soul, and I hope he is able to find the epace in life, we search for in life.

THis is one of my favourite chapters, it has all built up to this point : -

Chapter 13 – Flower Picking

Once inside, they spilt off, and began to search there won ways, Blue staying with Richard the whole time, the corridors were dimly lit, and the entire place was dark, not just in the illumination, in feeling, he got cold shivers as he walked down the corridors, he could feel all the energy here, it was indeed evil. They looked around, it was empty, not even a soldier, but he could sense there were others here, and he could tell that Blue did too, her fur stood on end, and her tail was up, she was expecting something as much as him, it was too quiet.

It took quite a long time, and along a lot of corridors and stairs, but they eventually came to a form of large door, similar to the on at the entrance that they came in at first, looking at it, similar patterns were engraved upon it, depicting something, that yet again he could not understand, but had a feeling it was something important, perhaps the past, or the future of things to happen? Richard moved toward the door, extending his arm to it, letting himself push it slightly, he felt it begin to open to this, only a gentle push, and it began to open.

He walked inside, Blue still at his side, the room was a large box, it seemed to be quite high up, a window on the far side of the room, you could see out onto the wastelands from it, cold and uninviting, never changing, but, before the window, dead ahead was a large chamber, a long, cylindrical object, and inside it, a woman, Richard looked to it, and whispered under his breath, “Cheza?”

Blue ran forward and immediately broke the glass, the girl falling to the ground, he walked slowly behind her, and listened to what she said, “Cheza, you are alive, good, lets go” she picked her up, turning to her Human form as she did, turning back to Richard and nodding, smiling at the same time,

“Right, lets go, Kiba must be waiting for us” as they began to walk towards the door, they looked down the corridor, to there dismay, there worst fear had been realized, it looked as if a small army marched towards them, Richard was paralyzed with fear, and Blue could not do anything, she had to look after Cheza. Looking to him, she nodded and he took Cheza from her, placing her in his arms, she was not heavy at all, and he looked at her as she gently slept in his arms, her eyes closed, but he could feel she was alive, the gently warmth in her, a beating heart, he felt a connection with her, she was ‘different’ indeed

Blue ran at the soldiers as they entered the room, ripping them to shreds, falling to the floor in a bloody mess, the blood from where she had bitten them in the neck, dripping, pouring out, and creating large pools. Richard moved to the back of the room, watching as she took them on, he wanted to help, but he couldn’t leave Cheza, he felt his blood boil as he watched her, fighting them, he watched her fight them off, one by one, but more came in, faster than she could kill them, it was clear they could not survive this. Looking behind him, he saw the window, that gave him an idea, looking over to Blue, he tried to call to her, but she could not hear him, she was too busy trying not be impaled.

He could not take it any longer, he just couldn’t let her die in vain, putting Cheza down gently on the ground, he ran into the group, knocking several to the ground as he did, she looked to him as he stood there, fists up, kicking one of the guards in the side, seemingly doing nothing to him, “Richard! I can take them, get out of here” she moved in front of him and took the guard out as Richard tried to knock another over, successfully doing so, knocking others backwards,

“I have an idea, take Cheza and jump out of the window, you can survive that way” he moved towards the window again, Blue creating a path for him, he could smell the blood in the air, and see it on her black coat, covering her muzzle. Once at the window, she turned back him and took Cheza in her arms, Richard took up one of the lances dropped on the ground and threw it at the window, smashing it instantly, a cold, brisk wind blowing In as it did, the soldiers were taken back slightly, there lances pointing forwards. Blue looked to Richard, and extended her hand, he closed his eyes and shook,

“Come on Richard” he knew he could not go, and he said to her, turning around again, picking up one of the swords the men had dropped,

“You can’t take two, Cheza is important, get out of here, and get to paradise” the wind blew through his hair, it blew through his eyes as he turned around, looking away from Blue, pointing the sword forward, and saying as he did, “This is my gift to you Blue, I will give you time enough to escape, reach paradise” he got the sword ready to fight, he had no idea how to use one, but it couldn’t be too hard.

Blue looked out of the window several times, and back to him, she had no idea what to do, he could hear he crying behind him, “I don’t want to lose you, I am not leaving” she was shaking, she didn’t’ want to leave him to a certain death, but he knew she would be like this. Turning back round to her, he looked at her eyes once again, and with no warning, he moved closer to her, letting the sword lean against his leg in his arm, while he wrapped his other arm around her neck, kissing her gently on her, red lips. putting a hand behind her head, feeling her hair in the wind, he could feel her still shaking slightly, and the tears run down her cheek as she stood there, Cheza between them, it seemed to last an eternity, but, alas, he had to move away, slowly removing his lips from hers and putting his hand back at his side, he moved away from her, and said, softly, not looking at her directly, but turning around,

“Blue, I love you more than you can imagine, all your help, your care for me, you will forever be my friend, you made me feel something I never knew could exist, you showed me light where I only thought darkness existed, I will not die, as long as you remember me” he moved away, he could feel tears in his eyes, and he could feel she was crying too, but, he knew she would have to understand, opening his eyes, he took the sword up again, “Now go Blue, I will see you soon” he could feel her sadness, but, she called out to him one last time,

“I love you too, don’t die yet” with these final words, she jumped out of the window, closing his eyes he smiled, and then opened them suddenly looking forward, a fury in his eyes, he knew now what happiness could be, and he would preserve that. He looked at the solders ahead of him, they were backing him up to the corner, he knew he stood no chance, and he threw the sword around aimlessly, trying to hold them back but they continued to advance forward, slowly making a semi-circle around him.

He swung his sword around, trying his best to try and move the men back, but they acted like this was no challenge at all, and simply used there own lances and swords to deflect his attacks, knocking the sword so it scrapped the floor. He tried his best, but he found he was still been backed up against the wall, and no matter how much he tried to push them back a bit, he found he was continually pushed straight back to where he had been.

It was a valiant effort, but, he had no option, dropping his sword, he stood in the corner, the red lights from the solders all looking at him, they put the lances ahead of them, it was his time to go, his last thoughts were of Blue, he let a tear run down his cheek as he thought of her, and Kiba, they would be upset, but, at least he knew he had a use, he had helped them find paradise, he had helped someone achieve happiness, and he had his own, he knew now what it was like, and with this, he could die free in the mind that he would not be in death alone, as forever, as long as he remembered, he would not be alone.

Closing his eyes, he looked away, he expected the cold steel to run straight through him any second as he stood there, but he stood there for several seconds, and there was no sound, he wondered what was happening, where they playing with him, there was no sound, but as Richard listened closer, the ringing in his ears passing, the tension in his heart calming, he heard, a snarl, looking forward again, opening his eyes slightly, he couldn’t believe what he saw, ahead of him, Kiba, was snarling, standing there, holding them at bay, he could not help but call out to him, “Kiba!, get out of here!” he called out to him, Kiba called back to him however,

“I heard you were in trouble, I couldn’t let you die, what kind of friends would we be if we abandoned you” looking to his side, Richard then saw Hige, Toboe and even Tsume also at the window, holding back the guards. Even in all the coldness in the room, he felt warm, he felt something strange, was this, ‘True Happiness’? He let a tear run down his cheek slightly,

“Well, come on then” Tsume shouted, going for one of the soldiers,

“Yeah, we don’t have all day, get over here” Hige shouted, snarling at a small ground trying to take pot shots with there lances,

“This way, to the window” Toboe called over, moving towards the window. Richard nodded and made his way behind the wolves towards the window, dodging jabs from the lances as they tried to go at him, the Wolves rising up and knocking them out of the way.

He made his way to the window and looked out of it, and looking back, he could see Kiba in his Human form, he took him under his arm, and then said to him, “Hold on” Richard nodded and put his arms around him, as suddenly, he felt himself fly, he had jumped from the window, the others close behind them.

He felt the cold wind brush against him violently, his hair been lifted, as he looked around he could see the others also flying down with them, they were all getting out. From above, the men began to fire of there weapons, but, they were moving to fast for them to hit, they rushed by them red lights, but nothing could hit them. He began to feel dizzy as he went down, this was too much for him, and with that, he fell limp, the air rushing past him, he went unconscious, the last thing he saw was Kiba, smiling at him as they approached the ground.

Back to School
Well, I huess it is back to school with me, I got most of my work done for it in time, btu I still need to polish off some of it :).

In a way, I am looking forward to going back, you know, it gives me something to do rasther than just be sat here all say been bored, which really goes get to me at the ebst fo time, I can see peole and do something, for once, hehe.

I am so happy at the moment, I have been talking to a friend on mSN, I don't know what it is, but whenever I talk to them they always seem to make me so happy, and they always make me feel better, I feel like I can tell them anything, and I can trust them, I have to meet them at some point, I really do.

Well, thats all really I have to say, not alot happened yesterday for my last day off, listneed to alot of music lost in my files, I can;t believe some music I have, it is quite alot, althought I watched the Be-Bop movie yesterday, parents too and they actually enjoyed it, lol, which is a surprise :)

Here is the next bit of the story, it is all starting to heat up now

Chapter 12 – Cheza’s Message?

As he slept, Richard began to feel quite strange, a weird feeling came over him, one of light, filling up every part of his soul, but he was unable to do anything, just listen, a voice called out through the light, he tried to reach out and respond, but couldn’t, “Richard, I am Cheza, guide them to me, we shall open paradise for them, you are the ‘key’ to the door, you can unleash the energy that will open the gate, please, come, rescue me, bring the Wolves” the message ended there, he wanted to call out, but he couldn’t, and slowly, as he slept, he felt the light begin to disappear, leaving him cold again, in the darkness, his soul feeling heavy again. What did she mean ‘key’? Why was he so important? He didn’t know, but he knew for sure he had to go and rescue Cheza with the Wolves; it was part of something he had to do, he felt a weird attraction to meet with Cheza, to go to Paradise, and perhaps that is his reason here.

He began to feel light again, and his eyes opened. Outside, the storm had stopped, and the clouds had parted slightly, letting some light land onto the land, creating a mystical light show on the snow, rainbows in the air. It was early morning, but the others were already awake, he rested against the tree, Blue was running her fingers through his hair, lightly, as if she was stroking him, it was a weird sensation, he did not find it unpleasant, in fact he liked it, but, he didn’t want to disturb here, but he had to get up.

Slowly sitting up, Blue moved her hand and sat at his side, “Good Morning, you ok?” she looked over to him, he thought to himself ‘Why shouldn’t I be ok?” he looked over to her and nodded, rubbing the sleep from his eyes,

“Thanks”, he opened his eyes and then looked to Blue, squinting slightly as his eyes got used to the light, “Why shouldn’t I be ok?” he was curious about why she had asked this, it is not usually what is asked when you wake up, unless you have been out for a long time,

“You were whimpering in your sleep, you called out, I was worried, you seemed troubled” she had a kind look in her eyes, and placed her hand on his shoulder, he looked to her, and put on a ‘stoic’ expression, as the others moved over to him, it seemed they all heard him,

“I had a dream, well, more of a vision, I heard her, Cheza, she said I was the ‘key’” he stopped there, looking at the wolves, they had a bemused look on there face, they looked as confused as he was,

“Key?” Kiba asked, kneeling down in front of him, Richard nodded in agreement to what he said, confirming what he said,

“Yeah, any idea what it means?” he looked to all of them, they still seemed to have no clue what it meant,

“Likely only a dream, it means nothing” Tsume added, grunting and looking away from the others, standing up and placing his hands on his hips, Kiba looking down slightly,

“Maybe” he whispered slightly, “Still, it may mean something, once we have the Maiden, we can ask” Kiba looked back up and placed his hand on Richard’s shoulder, he nodded in agreement to what had been said.

After that, they did not talk much, they all got ready, Blue took care of Richard, making sure he would be ok, checking his wounds, the others getting some plan ready, sitting away from the others as they did this, Richard could sense the tension in the air, something big was going to happen, and it was going to be huge.

Walking back over to them, Kiba spoke up, they were in there Wolf forms, “You can walk can you Richard?” he looked to Richard as he stood up, it seemed he had gotten a good amount of his mobility back, although, running the marathon may not be on his agenda for a while, Kiba smiled seeing him stand, “Good, we will need your help once at the keep, you and Blue must find Cheza, while we search out Jagara, and stop her ambitions, we shall distract them.

“Understood” Blue and Richard said in tandem, they both knew what they would have to do, the other Wolves nodded to what they said,

“Well, lets go” with this, they began to move, towards the mountains that had been reveled in night, after the passing of the storm, on it, the remains of some kind of castle could be seen, he immediately knew what it was, the keep of Jagara, standing there, menacingly, a monolith of evil. He new he would need to be brave in there, this was no toke to be a coward, looking to hi side as he ran towards it with the wolves, trying to keep up, lagging behind at the back, Blue staying with him, she said to him,

“We’ll be ok, I will protect you in there” she smiled and kept at his side as the others ran in front of them, getting a little further away after every passing second, but stopping for short times so they would be totally left behind. Richard knew he was not at his full pace, but, he couldn’t help it, his wounds still prevented a lot of movement.

It took a long time of running through the white fields of snow, the wind dead now, only leaving a straight path to there location, they stood in front of the doors to the keep, engraved on it, several depictions of the past, Richard did not recognize any of them, but, it seemed it may have some importance a long time ago. Looking up, he watched as the door slowly opened, they were expected; the keep seemed so large, how would they find Cheza here?

“We all ready then, Richard?” Kiba looked to him, Richard breaking his gaze looking to Kiba, he nodded and said, slightly nervous,

“I won’t fail you, we will find Cheza” he smiled, he knew he would find her, for Kiba, after all he had done for him, he would have to find her,

“Thank you, just don’t get yourself killed over it” he moved towards him and nudged him in the side, “Please, be safe” he could see him smile, and he patted him on the head gently,

“Don’t worry, I will” he smiled and looked inside of the open doors, it was dark inside, and the evil could be felt emanating from it, deep inside it, the corridors, spreading with it, like a lake. He knew inside there was some form of pure light, the one that would lead to paradise, and he would find it, with Blues help.

“This is it then” Blue added, standing next to his side, licking his hand, trying to calm him down, she could smell the anxiety on him, he was not staying as calm as he wanted to, looking in, and taking one last breath of the crisp, fresh air, he began to walk in, the others following behind him, there was no escape now as they walked in, it would be all or nothing.


EDIT

I found today while I was in school, one of our teahers, Socilology, Mr Sweryt, died in his sleep last Sunday, of a heart attack, we had an assembly about it, god rest his soul

Damn it
Sorry for the late up-date, MyO is not been nice to me again, lol, story of my life at the moment, but, I don’t think I should go into that, it is a long story, and it would take me all day to really explain it all, lets just say, my story explains a lot of it.

Well, I am feeling a lot better anyway, I ain’t so depressed anymore, YAY, I have been talking to someone on MSN and he has really made me feel so much better, I don’t know how he does it, he seems to understand me so well and knows exactly what to say, It is brilliant to have someone like that, and although he is not here with me, it makes me feel better to know he is there.

Other than that, not a lot has been happening, I have been pretty boring, it is the last day of Half-Term you see so not a lot is happening, and it should be, I should be enjoying myself and I ain’t, it is a real shame.

I have been feeling real change in myself lately, I have been feeling a lot different, I don’t want to say anything yet, but, if I am sure I will say something, until then, I need to do more thinking.

I will leave you with my story, it is all going to start taking off here soon, so watch this space, and the action starts.

Chapter 11 – Starlight Dance

They rested under the tree, the moon above them giving some light through the branches, shining down on all of them. Sitting under the tree, Richard rested against the truck, old, and rotting away, it offered some stability, but not an awful lot. Looking to the other Wolves who were all sat around him, Kiba on his left, Blue on his right, and the others sat in front of him. He looked down at his chest, the shirt had been ruined, once again, and he had bandaged covering the wound, the blood showing slightly through the effort they had done, it was not the best, but, they did what they could.

“It I so desolate here” Richard said, suddenly, looking out to the empty wastelands all around them, it looked as if this place had been ruined for several years, it looked like how he felt, empty, cold.

“It is, it always has been” Kiba added, resting next to Richard,

“For such a long time, before we were born” Hige added, looking also out towards the lands, it was cold; the winds blew a chill through them, the snow moving gently.

“I guess tomorrow will be it then” Richard said, looking now down at himself, he knew what would happen,

“Cheza, we shall, rescue you” Kiba added,

“Paradise” Toboe, lifting his head up slightly, resting it back down again,

“I hope you do reach paradise, I will not stand in your way” Richard added, still looking down, brining his knees up to his chest, the wind making him slightly cold, shivering slightly,

“That’s right, you won’t” Tsume added, his eyes closed, resting, Richard could understand his feelings, the others gave him am sharp look, but decided to leave it,

“I understand” Richard looked to his side to see Blue rest herself near him, she must have seen him shiver, and she rested her fur against his body,

“Don’t worry, you won’t get in our way though” Blue added, nuzzling his leg slightly, getting comfy, he smiled slightly, he enjoyed the feeling of having someone truly care for him, and he the same, the wound in his shoulder been proof of that.

The winds blew through the night, it must have been late, Richard through for a second on home, what he may have been doing at that moment, likely at school learning about the Theory of something or other, or at home, been ignored, and just living. He let these thoughts leave him though, he had enough of thinking on the past, he couldn’t stop what happened, it was destiny he was here, the future, and present were what mattered, he had to live now, now in the past.

“We should sleep, we need to be ready for a long journey tomorrow, it will be a long day” Kiba added, moving closer to Richard, and resting himself against him, warmth from his fur spreading into him. The others around grunted and nodded in agreement, placing there heads down in there paws, and closing there eyes, the cold did not seem to bother them too much.

Richard looked to both Kiba and Blue as they rested next to him, both keeping him warm, they had stopped him shivering, he felt safe between these two, as if no matter what, nothing could hurt him, they would be with him forever.

Letting this thought run through his head, he let himself slip into a gentle sleep, for the first time in so long, even with the gentle pain of his wound, feeling it pulsate slightly, he felt at peace in his sleep, it had been too long since this feeling, it was something he treasured, he had not felt like this for so long.
