Hello, hello, feeling much better, thanks for all the reviews!

disclaimer: Amber: They only own me, and the plot, otherwise I wouldn't have to be going cross county with Tsume just to find him.

Chapter 10- Granny's house

We walked for most of the day, breaking for lunch, then kept going. Tsume held my hand most if the way, he even carried my backpack. It made me warm up on the inside whenever he did. He did have to scout ahead in wolf form though, but he would always circle back to check on me.

I could hear cars by now, Tsume stopped me on the top of a hill that on its way down would lead us into town,"Well have to be quiet going down. I don't think your family ha made it to the town yet."

I gazed at the small, cute town I front of me, there were homes that surrounded what appeared to be a Main Street,"How do you know?"

Tsume stood next to me an pointed to a flagpole that was by the largest building on the Main Street, "Normally if there's an emergency, like missing people, there's a red flag that flies just below the American one."

I nodded, and there wasn't a red flag, just the normal flag and the state flag,"So.." I took a breath,"What now?"

Tsume readjusted the backpack,"We get to the house that my- I mean our- Pack stays at. We have contacts in the local police that know our secret. We'll tell them that I found you out in the woods and that your family is still out on the road. They can take care of the rest."

My heart skipped a beat when he mentioned the pack and how it was also now mine... Tsume must have been able to sense my anxiety and turned to me. He pulled me into his arms,"Hey," I relaxed as his voice vibrated from his chest,"Don't worry. Everything will be okay. I'll protect you."

I sighed, then stood on my tip toes and kissed him. Tsume kissed me back, when he pulled away, he brushed a few strands of hair from my face. He took my hand and lead me down the hill.

It took us twenty minutes to make it to the house that the pack shared, it was a two story house and a very, very tall fence around the back. The next house wasn't too close, about twenty meters away. The woods surrounded everything and Tsume walked up to the front door and knocked on it.

"Well it about time you go home-," a smooth, even female voice said, and she threw open the door, she was very pretty, with short dark hair, pretty blue eyes and she was wearing a long-sleeved, navy blue buttoned trench-coat, with a collar that sticks up. She paired it with matching thigh-length, navy blue heeled boots and a short, pale red scarf. She paused and her eyes widened in shock when she saw me standing right next to Tsume,"-Oh... Who's this Tsume?"

"Tsume," a light, happy youthful voice said, and a young boy poked his head out, he had neck-length reddish brown hair parted on the side. The boys eyes were a light gold brown and he had on a faded red zipper shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, olive green cargo pants and dark green military boots. He was just as shocked when he saw me as well.

That snapped the woman out offer shock and she pushed the kid back in by his head, and stood out of the way,"Well don't just stand there get in here before the nieghboors see you."

I walked into the large house, even for it size it seemed cozy and well lived in. The walls ranged from brown to green at each room. Tsume took my hand and sat me down in the living room. It had pale carpet and warm brown walls. The couch was a nice cushy black one and a coffee table sat in front of me. The young woman glared at Taume,"Kiba and Hige are out on patrol. Granny is upstairs sleeping, which is the only thing keeping me fro fighting with you. Who's the human?"

I opened my mouth to snap at her, when Tsume interjected,"Her name is Amber, Blue, I found her in the forest. Her family is missing. We need to call Hubb."

The next hour resulted in Police officers and rescue workers running around the house, getting my statement, then Tsume's. Many of them were immediately sent out to find my family. We lied and told them that we had only known each other for a day, and that for the other two I had been following a dog with a collar but lost it after the first day.

Officer Hubb was the first to volunteered to stay with me at the Pack's residence until everyone left. During the hub-ub, I met Toboee, the young wolf from earlier, and Granny, a nice calm, elderly woman with gray hair, bright blue eyes and silver bracelets that match Toboee's.

Blue was very kind to me as well, she explained to me that the oak didn't really have an Alpha, but Kiba was as close as they came. Kiba was on patrol with Blue's mate Hige, and both were on patrol and would be back in the morning. Then, the last member of their pack, Cheza, was visiting her family in another town and would be back tomorrow evening.

Officer Hubb walked in from showing the last detective to the door,"Alright," he sighed as he sat down in an easy chair across from the coach that I haven't left since I got here,"So, what exactly happened?"

Tsume sat next to me,"Simple, found her, brought her to town, but on the way we got attacked by out friendly neighbors, who by the way," Tsume turned to Blue,"Have decided to move the scent marker."

Blue growled but otherwise didn't change into her wolf form-which I have yet to see- and muttered,"Bastards."

Hubb glanced at me,"Is that true?"

I nodded,"Yes, it is."

Hubb cracked a smile and stood,"Well, I'm gonna help with the search."

With that he left. Tsume kissed my temple and I blushed a deep scarlet. Blue opened her mouth in surprise,"Well, that makes more sense."

Toboee smiled and bounded up to me in his red wolf form,"This is great! I'm very happy for you Tsume!"

Tsume smiled day the younger wolf,"Thanks Runt."

Blue sighed,"Were gonna have to keep this from Kiba, at least until he gets used to you around the house. The police said it should take them until late tomorrow to get to your parents."

Tsume scooped me up in his arms,"Good. We'll figure everything out by then," I gave a squeak as he carried me up to his room.

I cuddled against Tsume's chest and curled into him under all the blankets. Tsume put his arm around me. We both drifted off.
