Thoughts or memories

Chapter One - Alone?

Her steps echoed upon the wet cement driveway. She sighed as she unlocked the front door to the dull grey two story house. The inside was dark and silent as she took her shoes off and sighed, "Tadaima. [I'm home?]"

Might as well get something to eat.

The brunette trudged into the kitchen and pulled out various foods from the fridge. She chopped and fried until she set down a large bowl on the counter top. She sighed once more.

I made too much again. Ugh. I'm not even hungry anymore. Why bother? I'll just go sleep.

She slowly made her way up the stairs and to the bedroom. Not bothering to take off her jeans and sweater, she fell onto the comfy blue bed. She closed her eyes, only to open them again and sit up clutching the pillow to her chest. The sink in the bathroom dripped every now and again and the wood floors creaked.

No sleep again tonight, huh. It's so dark in here. Reminds me of moms poem,

"What once was bright

Now is dark

Filled with sadness

Of a lonely heart."

I miss her so. And Tonton.

Her eyes closed as she reminisced.

A little raven haired boy looked up at the brown haired girl and smiled a toothy grin. The girl scooped him up in her arms and began to tickle him fiercely.

"Hey, dat tisn't faiwer!" he laughed.

The girl only smiled and then began to shower him in kisses on his cheek. Two barks were heard from two wolves, one brown and one white. The little boy wiggled out of the girls grasp and ran to the wolves hugging them. The girl smiled and sat on the grass as the wolves and boy came and sat near her. The little boy fell asleep in the girls lap and the girl slowly nodded her head in tiredness. The white wolf sat up and nudged the girls head to the left. She fell softly onto the waist of the brown wolf laying down. The wolves then cuddled closer and all fell asleep, next to the children.

The girl opened her eyes and held onto the pillow tighter. She fell back onto the bed and grabbed the pendent around her neck. The black claw slid back and forth on the leather string as she fingered it.

I haven't lost it Pappy. I've always worn it, like you said. But I don't think it will give me anymore strength Pappy. I feel so tired. I'm always alone now. Mom and Dad died in a car accident, you disappeared, and Tonton . . . I haven't been able to find Tonton. The detectives have searched everywhere. I . . . I just don't think I can go on anymore. I don't know what to live for now. I have nothing. I just want to fall asleep and never wake up again.

A tear slid down the side of her face as she finally closed her eyes in exhausted rest. Faintly the pendent began to blink in a glowing green light. It kept blinking till finally it glowed strongly, moving slowly, wrapping itself around the girl, never waking her. The girl heard a low gruff hum and felt a warm rough hand caress her cheek. Leaning into the hand she heard a sigh and a rough voice speak, almost growling, "Come to me." She smiled and smelt the faint scent of grass. The scent grew stronger and she heard birds sing. Slowly she opened her eyes and stared for several minutes at the clear blue sky. Suddenly she sprang up and looked around her frantically.

Sky?! Why do I see sky?! Where am I ?!

She heard voices near her right and ran into the bushes at her left. She watched, under cover, as two men in fur pelts came into view. They seemed to be arguing, trying to come to a decision.

"But we have to do something!"

"Like what?!"

"I don't know but, Kouga's been so depressed. We need to cheer him up. So let's take him to see that wild boar. Down south they're keeping it, fattening it up to eat. That would excite him!"

"I don't know. Ever since sis went with that dog, he just seems distant. He don't even play with anyone anymore."

"I know."

The men had quieted down as a blur quickly came upon them. They gasped in surprise.

"What are you two doing?! Where are you leading me? It seems like we're goin in circles!"

The girl watched as the two men were hit on the head by a tall man with a long black ponytail.

Maybe they could tell me where I am? Should I go out? Don't be such a wimp girl! You've got Pappy's blood in ya! You're a born survivor! You can handle anything, don't matter what it is, you've got this! You've got it all under. . .

"Aaaaahhh!"

The girl screamed and fell forward as she felt something cold and wet nudge her, pushing up her shirt. She tumbled in front of the three men and lay on her back as two brown wolves ran and jumped on top of her licking and yipping like puppies. She tried to hold herself together as they played and gave her love. The two first men she saw gaped in surprise and the other smirked as he watched with curiosity brimming in his eyes. Never before had his old wolves took the initiative to play, let alone with a human, a girl no less! The girl finally let herself go as she laughed, her voice ringing like bells around the forest. Suddenly she yelped in pain and grabbed her leg. The man quickly stepped forward and growled. The wolves got off her and sat at her side whining in worry. The man kneeled down and stared at her. She opened her green eyes, and stared into his now twinkling blue eyes. He coughed and began to ask her a series of questions.

"I'm Kouga, Leader of the East wolf tribe, Prince of all wolves! And you are?"

"Haley." she breathed.

"What are you doing?"

"Talking to you, now that the wolves are done playing."

"You like wolves?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"No."

Kouga's eyes widened slightly before he sniffed at Haley.

"Well you should be. I eat little girls." he smirked, sitting back on his heels.

"Well too bad, I may look little but I happen to be 18, not 5, and if you try to do anything funky, you'll understand what a smack down really means! I may not know where I am, because you've been so kind as to interrogate me rather than giving me any info, but I certainly will not be intimidated by a total stranger! Got that?!"

She quickly made to stand, forgetting she had hurt her leg. She whimpered and began to fall back. Kouga grabbed her around her waist and pulled her close, till their noses touched.

"I like you." he smirked. "You're gonna come be my woman now."

Her eyes widened and he quickly threw her over his shoulder and began to walk away, with the wolves trailing behind, as she smacked him on the back. The two other men looked at each other puzzled.

"You knew she was there?"

"Nope you?"

"Nope."

"Oh well. Looks like we got a new sis!"

"Yeah, and it looks like she doesn't mind playing with wolves at all!"

They both gave each other thumbs up and quickly tried to catch up to their new sis.

Kouga - Woot! I've got a new toy!

Haley - Toy?!

Kouga - Don't worry sweety. I won't do anything naughty. Yet. *wink*

Haley - Did you just wink at them?! Wait a sec! What's that mean? Don't walk away from me you!

Kouga - Nah nah! Come catch me!

Kurochi Okami - Ahem, please enjoy the story. And the more you want, the more you should review. *hint, hint*
