RFYLH: Sorry y'all who were waiting. This probably isn't that great either. I will probably be out of it for a while. I just started ballet and I have band to contend with still. I had finals just a couple days ago. I will probably only update on holidays when I can get some quality time with my writings. But I am also working on a story that is not on this site. That will occupy most of my time, so my deepest apologies.
Warnings: Another Language!!!! lol. There will be translations at the end of the Chapter. this is in Ryou's POV.(point of view)Enjoy.
The snow formed around my feet where I stopped before a tree, holding a white bucket. Tapping into the trees every winter never bored me but in a way I was always sad. I tapped into the life source of all the trees in the region. I was taking away their life. I consoled myself with the fact that none of them died. They just continued to live while I felt guilty, how stupid was that?
It was pretty stupid, but hey, if I want to be stupid I can, right? I laughed at myself. Living alone in that one roomed house was getting to me. I was talking to myself. Well, at least I wasn't talking to animals.
I was still chuckling at myself as I made my way down the bank of the lake that sat in a clearing between the sap fields and my house. Not one person lived even remotely close to me in the forest here. Most people found it too cold in Canada, but my family had loved the cold, so it surprised me when I heard the sound of snow mobiles.
I ran down the embankment. Just ahead I saw something, small, something, struggling, something, animal like. It got bigger as I closed the distance between us.
It was a wolf, a beautiful wolf that nearly took my breath away. It had a sleek silver body and its ears, tail, and paws were tipped in the deepest of blacks. Almost like the animal had dipped the extremes of his body in pitch.
He was skittering, sliding, and rolling around on the ice. When the sound of the machines stopped I looked up to see men getting off them with guns in hand. The wolf surprised me by curling up and looking almost human in his anguished surrender.
I got angry. I got really angry.
Those men where in for it when I stepped onto the ice. I took the breathtaking creature in my arms and murmured condolences to him. Most of my mind was engulfed in the fiery flames of anger that would make hell whimper.
The men stared at me in open surprise.
The taller and more muscular of the three men stepped forward and raised his gun. "Was tun Sie? Das ist ein Monster. Es tötete unsere Schafe. Rücken Sie weg, damit wir es schießen können," the man rattled off in what I assumed was articulated German.
Huh? I stared blankly at him. What the f----? What the heck was he even saying? I summoned all my courage and glared at the man that could probably eat me for breakfast.
"Mein Hut hat drei Ecken." I knew I sounded absolutely ridiculous, but that was the only thing I had ever learned in German. My mother had taught it to me in a song.
The lead man was aghast while the others just snickered at me but despite all this I kept my glare on.
"Geben Sie uns den Wolf," the man tried again. I understood the last word.
"Never!" I hissed rather loudly across the frozen lake. I held the animal tighter.
He didn't understand but he said something in a very disgruntled voice to the others and they all drove the snow mobiles away.
I looked at the now more relaxed wolf. I had been petting his side the whole time the encounter had been happening and now moved my hands on each side of his silvery muzzle and stared into his eyes. I laughed at the wolf's confused expression. It was kind of cute. I pointed at him, "Bakura," I said. The name had just come to me and I liked it so I gave it to him. Then I pointed at myself, "Ryou." Only proper to introduce yourself, right?
So much for not talking to animals.
RFYLH: Okay, now for translations!!!!! YEAH! WHOO! I AM SO PUMPED! *clears throat* anyways here they are:
1)Was tun Sie? Das ist ein Monster. Es tötete unsere Schafe. Rücken Sie weg, damit wir es schießen können: It means: What are you doing? That is a monster. It killed our sheep. Move away so that we can shoot it.
2)Mein Hut hat drei Ecken: it means: My hat has three corners.
3)Geben Sie uns den Wolf: it means: Give us the wolf.
The translations may not be completley accurate considering I used the free online translator. Except for on that my hat has three corners thing. that really is a song. My mother taught it to me it goes: My hat has three corners. Three corners has my hat. If it didn't have three corners it wouldn't be my hat. The way you say the crrazy sentence is: Mine Hoot Et Hat Tri Econ. (pronunciation) My mother lived in Germany for a couple of years and had to learn some German. I started singing it yesterday and she told me she wasn't going to teach me anymore German songs! : ( Oh well.
REVIEW OR ELSE...MWAHAHAHAHA!
