"Hey Renn, time to move on" Torak padded her arm softly.
"Oh, ok" she answered.
"What where you thinking about?" he asked while picking up his gear.
"Nothing, nothing" Renn answered, and to Torak surprise, blushed. He knew it was something,
Renn didn't use to blush so often, but he choose to let it be since he didn't wanted to destroy the
good mood she was clearly in. He just smiled at her and walked away to find Wolf.
They had left the Raven Clan for about two moons back, and they had walked south all of that time.
The southern forest was as big as the one they where used to, and they both felt a lot like home in it,
although Torak understood that Renn sometimes missed the Raven Clan. The climate this south was
warmer than they where used to, and they had to make new, thinner, clothes about a moon back.
They avoided other people. Renn and Torak hadn't speaked open about it, but Torak guessed that
they both wanted to be left alone in peace.
They built their shelter on a hill with a view that covered almost all of the eastern forest.
when the sun started to go down, the land turned red.
The wolfs where out hunting when Torak found Renn who stood watching the sun. Without really
thinking, Torak walked up to Renn and hugged her from behind. She froze. Torak got scared. Had
he done anything wrong? Renn must have felt his insecurity because she relaxed and put her hands
on his. They stood like that until the sun went down, then Renn softly freed herself and walked into
the shelter. Torak looked after her in terror until she put her head out of the opening.
"Are you coming?" she asked with a big smile on her lips. Torak gave her a wolfish grin, nodded,
and then followed her into the shelter. So far so good.
Inside the shelter, both of them avoided looking at each other. They where both having really red
faces. Then Torak suddenly felt a mashing pain in the back of his head. Renn looked at whatever hit
his head in fright. When the thing hurried up to hurt Renn to, Torak saw what it was. It was a
Tokoroth! Then everything went black...
Torak lay on his back in total darkness. He could recognize a certain pressure on his chest, a
pressure he didn't wanted to feel. He was in a cave.
After his eyes got used to the darkness he could just about make out the caves formations, he
started to realize that he was trapped in a small room. Where was Renn, Wolf, Darkfur and Pebble?
Or even Rip and Rek? Torak started howling but after receiving no answer he closed his mouth.
He was thinking about if he should spirit walk, and decided not to. The cave was evil, and he could
on some places feel demons trying to get out. Then he heard a sound from when a rock was being
pushed, and someone who carried a torch entered the room Torak was captured in. When Torak got
used to the bright light he saw who it was... but it couldn't be?
"So, you're finally up" said Hord
