   Ch3 First Encounters
Aurum awoke to a strange scent and a headache. She slowly lifted her furred head and looked around. A mist colored wolf was floating in and out of her blurred vision. "So, you're finally awake?" A voice asked. Aurum shook her head slightly to clear her vision. The wolf she saw was definatly misty-gray but his left ear was jet black and pulled towards her in curriousity. "Who are you?" She asked as she began to sit up, despite her numerous wounds. "My name is Cloud, and that's Ronin over there." He indicated a black and white wolf that was sitting on the edge of the roof. "Are you the ones that saved me?" Cloud smiled. "Well, I only got you up here, it was Ronin that did all the real work." The wolf that Cloud called Ronin laughed. "Don't sell yourself short brother! Carrying a girl of even her small size must have been tough on you." Cloud growled lightly at this, but continued to speak with Aurum. "So, what happened to you? I mean, why were those wolves after you?" Aurum looked cautiously at the misty-grey wolf. "And remember, we want the truth," Ronin said matter-of-factly. She turned her emerald eyes to Ronin, but quickly dropped them once his gaze met hers. "I was just running through the wrong part of the city I guess." She looked away from the two up at the newly risin moon. "Well," Ronin jumped down from his perch and walked towards her, "I don't believe that." He sat down in front of her. Aurum looked down from the moon and growled. "You calling me a liar?" She tried to stand and challenge him, but her weak legs wouldn't hold the weight. Ronin smiled sympathetically. "You don't need to worry about lying to us, we've had our share of secrets as well." Aurum again looked cautious and growled. "I didn't lie to you." He sighed. "Well, then can I at least have your name?"

The wolfen king was depressed, but not suprised, to hear that his daughter had not been found yet. The ice wolf that brought him this news was his long time friend and offered to personally search for her. "The king smiled. "Thank you, Storm, but I doubt even you could find her." Storm smiled with the king. "You may be right, she is your daughter after all." The two laughed and the king thanked his friend for the update and sent him on his way. When he was sure Storm was out of earshot, the king said to himself, "I just hope that will be enough to protect her from her own self..."
