I decided to do some minor editing to this chapter. Mostly just spelling mistakes, but I changed a few other things. Any way, I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Fae
shook herself, getting out of her original shock. She resumed her
snarl and stormed into her shack, blazing down at the poor other
wolf.
"What in the hell do you think you're doing!? Coming
into someone else's house while they're out and making yourself
at home!"
she
bellowed in her anger.
Kai hissed at her feet, his small form bristling and, honestly, looking more ridiculous then frightening. Toboe gulped and looked up at the furious girl with wide eyes.
"Look, I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean anything by it! I just needed somewhere to res-"he tried to appease her, but she cut him off.
"Then find a box!" she cried, throwing her hands into the air.
She
sighed and let them drop, briskly making her way around the room. She
quickly flicked open every drawer in her dresser, eyes everything on
the shelf, and looked at everything else before returning to the boy
with a glare.
"Well, everything's still here, so you can get
out now." She said curtly, moving aside to show him the still open
door.
Toboe blinked up at her disbelievingly. "Bu-but, I'm a wolf too. Don't you wanna stick together?" he tried softly, looking down and then back up at her.
Fae looked down at him with a vicious glare. "I've met other wolves before. I don't need your company." She snapped. "Out. Now."
Toboe sighed and stood. Now that they were on equal ground he realized she was only about half an inch taller. He looked at her with big golden eyes and sighed.
"Can I at least stay nearby? "He asked, mumbling.
Fae 'hmpfed' and shrugged. "Stay anywhere you like. I don't own anything outside this dump." She answered, going to the bed and lying down on it, putting her arms behind her head for support. "Close the door on your way out." She added, not looking at him but keeping her eyes closed.
Toboe frowned and dragged himself out of the shack, shutting the door gently behind him. When he left, Fae opened her eyes and sighed, staring at the ceiling. Kai looked from the door to the bed and leapt on it. He padded over to Fae's head and sat next to it, tilting his head at her
"Maybe you should let him stay. You haven't seen another wolf in three years." He said reasonably.
"Shuddap Kai. I don't need anyone around. I can keep care of myself." She grumbled the last part and closed her eyes, soon falling asleep.
Fae jumped to wakefulness at the sound of crashing thunder and flashing lightening. She breathed heavily, looking around in the dark in surprise. She placed her hand on her chest and calmed herself. Another clap of thunder and lightning flash and she involuntarily let out a yelp, covering her mouth with both hands and shaking herself. Now listening, she could barely hear anything over the pounding of the rain outside. She got off the bed and walked over to the window, pulling the soaked curtain away to look outside.
She was greeted with a blast of cold air and stinging wet. She sneezed and shook herself, glaring at the window like it was its entire fault. She looked at the bed where Kai was sitting up. Fae was about to say something when more thunder struck and she nearly jumped out of her skin. She practically fell onto Kai and held him tight to her breast, staring wide eyed straight ahead. A small cough from her arms told her she was squeezing to hard and she let go.
"Ehhh, sorry, Kai…" she said, embarrassed.
After the small fox shook off he looked at her with cool eyes.
"So you can take care of yourself yet you jump out of your skin at the first sound of thunder?" the fox said slowly.
Fae
listened and then glared at him.
"God damn you ya
little…scoundrel." She said, unable to think of any fitting
words.
She quickly got over her anger and looked towards the door, listening to the rain pounding and the wind howling. Fae blinked. That's not the wind… she thought after a moment. She blinked again and headed to the door, opening it carefully.
She could barely see a few feet ahead of her with all the rain. But it didn't matter; the source of the howling was close by. A rusty brown wolf sat on a large rock only a foot or so away from the shack. His fur was soaked through, making him darker and dripping. His head was held up to the sky and he was howling mournfully.
Fae
frowned at him and then sighed. She shivered against the cold and
looked at the sky then back at the wolf. She grumbled to herself
about being soft and then set her mind.
"Hey! Quit that and get
inside before you wake every damn human in the city!" she yelled,
crossing her arms over her chest.
Toboe stopped his howling and looked around at her. His wolf face grinned widely and his tail thumped the rock. He leaped from the rock and shook off outside before taking his human form and eagerly going inside.
Fae looked down in disdain at the now soaked wooden floor. She grumbled again and closed the door before going back over to the bed and plopping down. Toboe shivered a few feet away, smiling goofily at her.
"Gee, thanks miss. That was real nice of you. I didn't think you would let me in ever again." He said with a laugh, rubbing the back of his head.
"My name is not 'miss.'" Fae said grumpily. "It's Fae."
Toboe blinked at her a moment before smiling again. "My name's Toboe! Nice to meet ya!" he replied with another smile.
Fae wrinkled her nose at his over-eagerness. Well, no getting rid of him now; she was the one who invited him in after all. Fae now looked him over and noticed his pants were ripped mid thigh and blood was caked over the leg. Her heart pounded harder in her chest. She took a breah and calmed herself.
"I-I
didn't know you were injured…" she said, trying to regain her
composure.
Kai looked up at her from the corner of his eye and
brushed against her hand reassuringly.
Toboe smelt the fear on Fae and became confused. It took him a minute until he realized she had mentioned his wound. He looked down at the leg and then back at her with a lopsided smile, rubbing the back of his neck again.
"Oh yeah, well, me and my pack got into a little trouble before we got separated…" he said with a small attempted laugh to ease the situation. Seeing she was still looking at his leg with something like fear he knocked at the wound with his fist. "See? It's all healed. It's fine now." He said happily.
Fae
shook her head to clear it before putting her scowl back on. She
looked at the wound once more before back at his face.
"There
are more of you?" she said with some contempt in her voice.
Toboe
raised a brow at the tone in her voice. But he shook it off and
smiled, taking a seat on the floor.
"Yeah! Me, Hige, Tsume, and Kiba! We all met up at a city in the North and now we're heading to Paradise!" he said excitedly.
Fae blinked when he mentioned Paradise. "Paradise? Hmph. That's just a pup's fairy tale." She said, waving her hand to dismiss it." She said leaning back on her hands on the bed and craning her neck back to stare at the ceiling.
Toboe had a child's pouty scowl on. "It is real! Kiba says it is! And we're gonna go there and meet lots of other wolves and smell lunar flowers and have a whole big party all the time!" he said rushed, wanting her to believe him.
Fae looked back at him with a raised brow. "And you believe everything this 'Kiba' tells you? Would you jump off a building if he told you you'd live?" she asked, her anger getting a hold of her. Fairy tales were fairy tales. Nothing more than stupid lies put into a pup's head to make her believe in miracles and happiness…and Paradise.
Toboe glared up at her then looked down. "You'll see. Once they get here Kiba'll tell you all about it, then you'll have to believe it!" he said assuredly, looking up again with confidence in his eyes.
Fae looked down at him and had to admit she liked his confidence. She wanted to meet this Kiba and the rest of this 'Paradise' destined pack.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when a tremendous sneeze nearly rocked the shack. Fae blinked in surprise and looked down at the sniffling Toboe. He sneezed again and Fae sighed. She got off the bed and took the blanket off. She knelt on the floor and draped it around Toboe's shivering shoulders.
"Idiot. Sitting out in a rain storm is bound to get you sic-"she began lecturing, but cut off as the loudest crash of thunder yet sounded.
Fae shook and opened her eyes. She shivered again, shaking her head to get a hold of herself. She blinked as she realized she was holding something and that something was holding onto her just as tight. She pulled back and realized she had grabbed hold of Toboe just as he had done the same to her. She let out an angry 'gah!' and fell back on her behind, glaring over at Toboe. She stood and snarled down at him.
"What did you think you were doing!?" she cried angrily, flushing despite herself.
Toboe gaped up at her before he found his tongue. "H-Hey! You grabbed me too!" he defended himself.
Fae
huffed and knew she had no response to that. She turned on her heal
and went back to the bed, laying down on it once more, this time
without a blanket. Kai crawled over to her and curled himself up
against the curve of her stomach, offering some meager warmth.
"Just
stay on the floor and keep your hands to yourself." She grumbled
angrily.
Toboe glared at her back before laying on the floor and turning his back to her. He pulled the blanket tight around him, the breeze from the window nearly freezing.
Hmph! Girls! Why are they always so sensitive to everything? He thought to himself hotly. Getting mad at me 'cause she got scared… Sleep was getting closer and closer to him now. And such a…bad temper…He yawned widely, jaw cracking. This blanket smells nice…
