Saying Of The Day: If at first you don't succed, call in for reinforcements

Adriane was a blur beside the silvery streak. The sound of paws and feet hitting the dry, cracking leaves echoed in the quiet silence. The warrior had a gleam of joy in her dark eyes as she tipped her head and howled. Stormbringer howled in response to her pack mate. Golden eyes looked up lovingly at the dark-haired girl. The two continued their relentless pace.

Adriane's wolf stone flashed with gold and amber. The warrior felt like something was calling her and she changed directions. Storm, puzzled, picked up her pace and tried to contact the warrior through her mind. The girl was like a brick wall and the mistwolf couldn't get through to her.

'Adriane!' Storm cried as she realized they were headed for a busy road. The wolf tried to block the warrior but it was too late. Adriane, in a daze, ran in front of a large moving van. Fear flashed in her dark eyes as at the minute, the trance she was in broke. The girl was thrown back at least ten feet and she landed with a thump, rolling and leaving a bloody trail.

Storm howled and ran to her pack mate's side. The silver mistwolf wimpered and nudged the severely hurt Adriane. The wolf was pushed aside as the van driver knelt to examine the warrior.

"Call an ambulence! And get this wolf out of here! My god she came out of no where. Come on kid, wake up." the driver said. He was gently shaking Adriane's shoulder.

Storm felt the girl's life slipping away and she knew that shaking her would only add to the problem. The silver wolf snarled and placed herself between the growing crowd and Adriane's unconscious body. People screamed and jumped away from the mistwolf, crying out for someone to call animal controll.

After about twenty minutes, an ambulance followed by a fish and game truck arrived. The animal control cautiously approached the growling Storm. They slipped one of those loops that go around animal's necks. The silver mistwolf gave a bark-like laugh and burst into mist, reforming almost immediately.

"Did you see that?" several people exclaimed.

Storm's eyes widened in realization of what she had just done: Expose magic.

'Healer!' the wolf called before three tranquilizor darts sank into her flesh. She howled as darkness enveloped her. "Healer…Help…Adriane…'

Emily was typing away on the Ravenswood Manor computer when she received Storm's call. The wolf's voice was panicked and urgent. Then Emily felt sleepy and had to pinch her arm to keep herself from falling off her chair.

The healer ran as fast as she could, healing stone raised, calling out to the wolf stone and Stormbringer. She received only a fuzzy static.

"Ozzie!"

The golden brown ferret came bounding as fast as his short legs would carry him.

"What's going on?"

"Adriane's been hurt and Storm is under some sort of tranquilzor."

"Gah!"

"I know, we have to hurry. Come on!" Emily scooped up the ferret and placed him on her shoulder. The healer proceeded to a fast jog, heart and lungs burning.

An amublulance went flying past Emily when she reached a main road. The rainbow jewel exploded in light and the healer nodded in grim satisfaction. She took off after the ambulance with Ozzie clutching her neck for dear life.

A slight rustling in a bush and Lyra was beside the duo. The cat's leopard print fur was glinting dufferent shades of gold and amber, like the wolf stone.

'What is wrong?'

"Adriane's hurt and Storm has been taken."

'What! How could anything hurt that mistwolf and her pack mate?' Lyra yowled, shock and fury in her gold-green eyes.

"I don't know. But I have to help Adriane." Emily said, "Go get Kara. She can help."

Lyra, after a cautious look around, unfurled her golden wings and took to the air.

Finally, Emily and Ozzie were at the hospital. The healer bent over, trying to regain her breath. Once her lungs worked again, the red haired girl pushed open the doors and was greeted by a sterile smell and death. The healer was assaulted with pain and agony and her rainbow jewel flashed, desprite to heal the sick people. But Emily had more pressing matters to attend to; Healing Adriane.

"May I help you?" a woman at the reception desk asked.

"Umm, yes. Did a girl with dark hair come in here a few minutes ago?"

"Yes. In bad shape. The poor girl was hit by a moving van, she was. She is still in the ER, but should be out in at least a half hour."

Emily found a vacant chair in the waiting room and placed her head in her hands. She couldn't believe that Adriane was fighting for her life somewhere and she couldn't help in anyway.

Adriane smiled at the beautiful effect of the sunlight on the gold, orange and red leaves of Ravenswood. She sighed and sat, completely happy. Her wolf stone swirled lazily with amber and gold, matching the falling leaves raining down around her. She wore a black tank top, but did not feel the crisp, cool autumn air. She also wore black sweat pants and guy's converse sneakers. The warrior fell back with a content laugh. This world of hers was too perfect for words. Sure she missed Storm. The wolf had been missing for some time but she would return, as she always did. But for now, Adriane was happy among the swirling leaves and the pleasant feel of damp grass beneath her body.
