Chapter 5 – A Home too far

Awakening in the darkness of the room again, it was still the same, a bedroom, blue wallpaper, with a bed, chair and window, the blinds letting in fine slits of moonlight illuminating the walls, and creating an ‘eerie’ aura about the room. Richard stood at the window, it has been several days since the escape from the prison, he spent a lot of it resting in bed, his wounds healing still, and although most had made a good recovery, the wound in his shoulder still bothered him.

Looking out the window, the city illuminated by lights and the moon, he slipped down the wall and curled up, putting his head on his knees, he began to think, he wanted to go home, sure, there was not a lot there for him, but still it was his home, and he wanted to return to it, he missed the fields he walked through, he missed those few he called ‘friends’, but, mainly just people to talk to, he would never see them as real friends, not the kind he always wanted. He sat looking into his knees, silently crying.


Meanwhile downstairs the wolves were sat in the living room, around the open fire, roaring like a beautiful dancer, the embers falling gently to the ground in front of it, extinguishing. Blue, Kiba and Hige on the sofa, Toboe in front of the fire and Tsume by the window.

“What are we going to do with the ‘Human’ then?” Tsume sounding rather cynical about the entire situation, letting his dislike for it is known; he was not a great fan of humans,

“We take him with us” Blue added, she had been taking care of him a lot of this time while at this house, she was the one who found it like it was, it was a lucky find, Kiba added, also, been taking care of him, helping Blue,

“We cannot let him go to the streets, he is not even of this world, he would be dead in hours” Kiba slipped back into the chair, and put his hand behind his head, looking up to the ceiling slightly,

“We are going to be taking him with us then” Toboe added, Hige finishing off his sentence,

“To Paradise” Hige was not too bothered by the entire situation, although he was cautious about it all, he was suspicious of him,

“Looks like it” Kiba got up and walked over to the fire, looking into it deeply, a moment of silence followed, everyone deep in there own through of the situation, all with there own ideas on how it should be dealt with. It was Blue that broke the silence, getting up from the chair; she looked towards the stairs,

“I am going to check on Richard” she began to walk along the room towards the stairs, Kiba then began to follow, adding,

“I shall come too, I have questions to ask him” he moved up behind Blue and followed her up the stairs, walking slowly.

Tsume, Hige and Toboe just stayed where they were, Tsume adding as they went up, “How can they care for a Human like that?” he moved over to the sofa and laid flat out on it, almost kicking Hige in the face,

“I don’t know, but you have to admit, there is something unusual about him, he has a weird aura, I for one am interested on who he is!” Hige relaxed back into the chair after saying this, putting his hands behind his head as usual, and closing his eyes,

“Well, I hope he knows what he is doing” Tsume grunted and also closed his eyes, resting on the sofa; all feel quiet in the room.


Richard could hear them coming up the stairs, a gentle thump, but, he couldn’t stop himself from crying, he felt it dwell inside him, he couldn’t hide it, he didn’t want them to see him like this, not a weak Human. He heard them knock at the door, it was the usual voice, “Richard, it is me, Blue, can I come in?” she had a gentle tone of voice, she had been keeping him company over the past few days, he let him stroke her, and she was a great listener, he had told her a lot about the world he was from, it was fascinating to her, she had never heard of such a place, it amazed her that such a place could exist.

Again she knocked, “Richard, you in there? You ok?” he could hear her begin to turn the door knob, he didn’t want her to see him like this, he tried to give her an answer from his position where he was sat, but found he couldn’t even manage a squeak, it was too late anyway, she had opened the door.

“You in here?” she asked, curiously, this was a rhetorical question, he had to be in there. She walked around the room until she could see under the window. Looking down she sees him, curled up, his head on his knees, she could hear his crying from where she was stood, and could see him shaking slightly, “Richard!?” she ran over to him, Kiba close behind her as she did, both kneeling at each of his side, both putting hand on his shoulder, he still cried, not looking up.

“What’s wrong Richard!? Please tell me!” she had a hurried tone of voice, she was worried, she had not seen him like this before, and he would have rather no one did, he felt like an idiot like this, she shouldn’t have to see this side of him, a wimp. Getting a bit of his voice, he said, not looking up,

“Please, I don’t want you to see me like this, I am pathetic” he felt even more tears run down his cheek, he wanted to just curl up and pretend that he didn’t exist, he was only a shadow of the world, one that could easily fall back into the darkness and disappear. She tightened her grip on his shoulder, and her tone changed, she seemed more concerned,

“I don’t think you are pathetic, we all cry at some point, it is nothing to be ashamed off” she used her other hand to lift his head up, he tried to resist, but he found he couldn’t fight her, as she lifted up, she turned it towards her, she could see the streams of tears that had ran down his cheeks, and the tears forming in his eyes, using one of her fingers she ran it across his cheek, wiping away some of the tears, new ones replacing them,

“I bet I look stupid to you Wolves” he felt himself shake even more, a steadying voice came from his side in the form of Kiba though, who had now turned to his wolf form,

“Even we Wolves cry, it is nothing to be ashamed of, come on, tell us what is wrong” he put his muzzle on his knees and rested there, Richard used one of his hands, tears covering it to stroke him slightly, he didn’t seem to mind a slightly damp hand of tears stroke him, he just sat there, resting, his eyes closed, trying to be as comforting as he could,

“Please tell us” Blue looked at him, she was also now in her Wolf form, Richard extended his other arm to her, and stroked the side of her muzzle, she was so warm, her eyes was beautiful, such a graceful creature. Holding back the tears and shakes best he could, he took a deep breath, and then, began to talk, his vision blurry from all the crying, his voice slightly croaky,

“I miss home” he stopped there for a second, but continued, “I miss my life there, there was not much for me there, but I didn’t cause anyone else problems there, I didn’t cause others pain, sure, it was a pitiful existence, but, it was home” he felt a solitary tear run down his cheek thinking about it, Blue moved closer to him and licked his face, taking the tear away, she seemed to almost be crying herself, her eyes wider than normal.

“I can understand, that is a perfectly normal reason, there is nothing to be embarrassed about” she nuzzled him slightly, he moved his hand and held it around her, holding her close, her dark fur running against him, creating a slightly warm tinge,

“Thank you, but, the part that upsets me is that I don’t know what to do, I cannot keep with you forever, I cannot be such a burden” he looked down again at his point, Blue moving her head, rubbing her fur against the back of his neck, saying, silently, softly,

“We have already talked about this, we want you to come with us” she moved away after saying this, Kiba also moving, as they moved to the door, leaving Richard for a second to sit at the window.

Once at the door, Blue began to whisper to Kiba, “We need to keep an eye on him, I am worried, he seems so upset, I cannot stand it, he misses it so much, we need to help him” there was a few seconds pause, Richard looked over to them, wondering what they were on about, but he did not attempt to move to disturb them,

“I agree, we can’t leave him like this, I want to help him also, I cannot stand seeing someone this depressed, he has lived such a sad life” he stopped for a second, looking to him, and back to Blue, “He reminds me of me, we are so similar” Blue nodded to this, and added, holding her head up with one of her hands,

“We need to keep an eye on him, I will stay with him tonight, and make sure he is ok, we will help him, together” Kiba nodded to this, and added to her statement,

“I will stay too, I want to help as much as I can, he is ‘special’ this one” she also nodded to this, walking back over to Richard after a short exchange of headshakes.

Walking back over to him, they looked at him, Kiba speaking up, “We are going to stay with you, make sure you are ok” they helped him up slowly, Richard nodded to this, he didn’t want to question them, but as they put him back into the bed, placing the cover over him, saying as he laid there,

“I really don’t want to be a bother, I don’t want to put you out of your way” Richard laid back in the bed, allowing the pillow to surround his head, Blue resting as his right side, next to his torso,

“You are not a bother, if you were, we wouldn’t be here now would be” she rested her head on his legs, closing her eyes as she said her words, slowly drifting off like Richard,

“She is right you know, if it was a bother, we would have left you a long time ago, for now, lets rest, you must be tired, we will look after you” Kiba also did the same, resting his head on his chest, closing his eyes also. Richard felt a strange feeling in his heart, he didn’t understand it, it felt warm though, and felt as if he had real friends, for once in his life, he felt closer to these than anyone else he had ever known, he felt he could trust them, this made him happy.

With these thought in his mind, gently lifting him away to his dreams, he felt calm, and feel asleep easily, his hands on each of the Wolves heads, gently stroking them, was this happiness?
