Early Mornings

The early morning breeze pulled at the boy's long hair making it dance in the wind, the grey animal beside him sat calmly brushing the leaves with his long tail.

The girl that sat in front of them was shaking slightly as her shoulders rose and fell heavily. Torak sat beside her and wrapped her in his arms burying his face in her dark red hair; on her other side wolf nuzzled her shoulder.

She looked up her pale face shining with tears, Wolf nuzzled her cheek with a whine and she turned to him giving him a weak smile and a light scratch under his large head.

Torak watched her silently a smile tugging at his lips as wolf licked her cheek and she spluttered. Finally she turned to him a small smile etched upon her face. The cold breeze tugged at her hair making it shimmer in the sun, she blushed as Torak stared at her and he quickly turned away, heat rising to his own cheeks.

Wolf gave his a nudge on the cheek and he lightly touched his warm nose with his own cold one. He heard movement behind him and he turned to see Renn stand slowly, he did the same as wolf rose and padded silently behind them. He caught up with her halfway up the slope and turned her to face him, the tears were gone but he could still see the sadness hidden in those dark eyes. She tried to pull out of his grip but it help firm and she gave up defeated.

"Renn?" He slowly released her arms and she pulled them towards herself protectively. "What's wrong?"

"Don't worry!" She started of again, this time Torak was the one defeated.

They were greeted by Fin-Keddin as they entered the already bustling Raven camp,

Wolf slunk off into the dark of the trees as a dog barked. Renn gave a brief nod to her uncle and stalked past him disappearing into her shelter.

Fin-Keddin automatically turned to Torak who shook his head violently. When Fin-Keddin was finally convinced he let him past.

Briskly Torak ran to her shelter, as he ducked inside he saw her sitting on her sleeping sack oiling her bow, this was what Renn normally did the only thing that caught him off guard was the fact her hands were not moving upon the wooden frame and the liquid glowing on its service matched the one on Renn's cheeks as she looked up.

Gasping she clambered to her feet rather clumsily, knocking over an opened water pouch. She groaned loudly and sank to the ground again picking up the now empty bottle. Torak crouched beside her and watched as she examined her now soaking sleeping sack.

"Renn?" She did not look up. "Renn!" She span her head to face him.

"What?" Her voice softened slightly and she sat back onto her sleeping sack.

"Tell me what is wrong," He sighed as she shook her head. " Please!"

" You sound like a kid,"

"Your acting like one," He snapped back and suddenly regretted it as she rounded on him.

"You know what Torak, you are dense just like all the other guys!"

"Renn, I….." He watched as she stood up and positively ran out of the shelter, leaving him alone to notice the wet seeping into his leggings.

"Hey," Torak span round to see a tall boy approach him.

"What is it?" He said rather dully as the boy stopped in front of him.

"You havn't seen Renn have you?" He asked as he scanned the surrounding area." Isn't she usually with you?"

"Not today Dray," He tried to step past him but was stopped by the tall boys muscly form.

"Surely Torak, she must have said."

"No she didn't," He growled slightly and Dray finally let him past.

"Well if you do see her, tell her Dray is looking for her," He shouted after him.

"Oh I am sure she'll be most pleased!" He muttered through gritted teeth as he entered the shade of the forest.
