Blood and Chocolate
Well, it is Saturday at last, I am able to relax now, which is good.

Not a lot happened yesterday, although I got busted for taking my last lesson off, so I have to see my head of year about it on Monday,. Must come up with a good excuse, I am sure I will  I hope I don’t get too much of the dog house for it

Other than that I did not do a lot unfortunately, I did read a WHOLE BOOK though, it is called ‘Blood and Chocolate’ by Annette Curtis Klause, I did a bit of research, there is supposed to be a movie coming out about it, I read it all in one day o.O

It was published in 1997, making me 9 when it was made, makes it sound old, but it is a really good book, I couldn’t put it down at all, I really enjoyed it, poor Vivien, and Aiden, I am writing my own version based of it now, may post extracts, but I think I may keep this one personnel, I may post it though, depends if I think it is good enough, I hope it will be 

Other than that, not a lot to be done, just hope my stiff comes soon, I want to see it, it is hard having to wait, so annoying, but, good things come to those who wait eh

Well, that’s all from me today, I will leave you with Chapter 5 now, enjoy

Chapter 5 – Freeze

They seemed to walk for hours, the snow never ending, occasionally coming across a frozen river, and old trees long since dead from the extreme cold, but still they continued. Richard had been able to hold on so far, but he already felt the effects on him, his fingers and toes had gone numb long ago, and he struggled to walk, only just managing, not trying to show any weakness as he went along, putting a brave face on it all. His vision going blurry slightly from all the cold, he could no longer feel anything on him, only cold, all around him, barren, empty, coldness.

Then it happened, what he feared might be the effect of going through these lands, he felt himself go faint, he tried to keep up, but he found he had no more energy or strength in which to do so, the Wolves seemed to still be full of energy, the snow not even effecting them. Richard fell to the snow, hitting it on his side, and beginning to shiver and convulse like a seizure, he heard Toboe shout over to the others, and saw as he tried to nudge him, getting nothing. Seeing Kiba run back to them, he heard slightly what he said, “I knew we should have got him some form of clothing, he should have told us he was cold” he saw as Kiba tried to rouse him, nudging him in the side, but getting no response, he struggled to keep his eye open, the snow covering them, seeing Kiba trying to frantically get a response out of him, Richard was able to muster enough strength, and said the words, softly, but as well as he could,

“Sorry for, been, a bother” he felt himself begin to drift off, the cold was taking him away, numbness all over, he felt a weight on him, resting, he was able to turn slightly to see Kiba resting directly over him, resting straight on his chest, he then felt this weight spread, feeling another right against his head, it was Toboe, surrounding it, his tail wagging about in his face. He felt the heart beats of all the wolves against him, all there furs, a slight heat came back to him, he felt some feeling, but it was not enough, he was suffering from severe frost bite, even as they rested against him, he felt himself slipping, it was only prolonging the inevitable.

As he slipped off, he heard a voice, he could not make it out, only random words, non of any real meaning on it’s own, but, he listening to these, he slowly felt himself drift off, thinking this was his end, he embraced it, he was lucky enough to meet some great people, but, it was all too short, all good things, must come to an end.

A Bright light surrounded him as he felt his eyes close and become heavy, it created a brightness all around him, but yet, he still only saw darkness, it penetrated surrounding darkness, but not his own. He could not move, he was suspended within, was this, heaven? He then heard the voice he had heard so many times in his dreams, he tried to call out to it, but found he had no voice, he could not call back, do anything at all to respond, all he did was listen to it’s words, the first time he ever made them out clearly, “Fragment, Pieces of the Luna Flower, Come back to me, let us release Paradise for the Wolves, guide them, take care of them, it is your destiny, come back to me Richard”, his name was used, this could not be a dream, what was it? She knew his name, he could not hear anything else, he felt darkness come back, but, he suddenly heard a whisper call out to him, “Cheza, Flower Maiden of Paradise”, with this final voice, the light disappeared, and left him, still cold, and floating. He felt himself been pulled, a violent push at him, like he was been pulled back to something, he became heavier again, and felt himself re-awakening.

His eyes opened slowly, he felt himself again, he could feel his fingers, and near-by, he felt warmth all around him, as he focused his eyes, he could see a fire directly next to him, on the other side, a large white object, it was Kiba. Attempting to get up, he grabbed the attention of Kiba, who suddenly looked up and moved his muzzle so to look at him sitting up, he also getting up from his lying position, standing taller than he sat, putting his muzzle on level with him. Kiba looked to him, seemingly smiling, and said, calmly, but, you could tell he was happy,

“Your alive, You had us scared there, we thought we lost you, why didn’t you tell us you were cold, we would have helped” Kiba moved forward slightly, uncomftably, Richard could sense this, and smiled, throwing his arms around him, holding him tight, feeling his fur against his warmish body, around them, snow was still on the ground, but under the shade of what seemed to be one of the dead trees, he said while he held him, seeing the other Wolves asleep behind Kiba, resting there,

“I am sorry, I didn’t want to be a bother” as he said this, he felt Kiba as he shook his head, and said straight after him,

“You shouldn’t have suffered like that, I knew we should have got you some clothes, you would not have bothered us, seriously” Kiba moved away at this moment, and sat himself next to the fire as Richard lay back down, slowly. They had an uneasy silence as he did lie there, looking up to the night sky, and for the first time, seeing the Stars shine above them, the Moon also, bringing down the light, and illuminating the ground around them. It was beautiful, for the first time he saw them without having to be created in a domes roof, it was brilliant. Richard then looked to Kiba, and said to him, as he sat there, looking into the fire,

“I saw something while I was out, I heard a voice, a woman, telling me to find paradise”, Kiba seemed to suddenly snap his head looking at him, and then said to him, quite quickly,

“Paradise, you know of it?” he seemed to have renewed interest in him, as if he had been proven right about something. Richard only nodded his head, saying to him, still looking to the Sky,

“I was told to protect the Wolves and seek it out” he had no idea was this meant himself, Paradise? What was that? Kiba seemed to know what it was, he moved towards Richard more, and was almost nose-to-nose with him, and said,

“Are you also” he stopped for a second, sniffing at him again, and then smiling slightly, “You are, you smell of the Flower, only faintly, you are one of them” as he said this, he moved away and looked back to him, he seemed to ecstatic, as if he had been proven right, and he had a new energy in him, and continued to say, “Well, Looks like I was right about you, I am going to have to make sure that you are well looked after” Kiba moved over to him and rested next to him by the fire, placing his muzzle in his paws, and closing his eyes, hearing him say to him, “Rest now, you need to recover” with this, Richard nodded and sat back down, resting his head on the small rough of grass they had put together, it wasn’t much, but it would do. Slowly losing his eyes, he wondered what he meant, was his role? Richard didn’t have the energy to enquire further, perhaps later, when he recovered, but for now, he rested, feeling he warmth from Kiba next to him.
