Chapter 10: Red Rescue

Brick:

It's so dark. There is only a small light somewhere far behind us. I can feel the warmth of hands against mine, warm fingers interlaced with mine as her warm mouth is against mine. When we separate for air, her auburn orange-red hair creates a barrier between us and the world outside of all of this. Her eyes look at me in an inspecting way, a way that shows me that she's trying to commit everything to memory. I'm looking at her and seeing every beautiful little detail that she has.

"You quite sure of this?" I ask, feeling almost restless where I am.

"If you ask me that kind of question again I'll leave right now and let you figure it out all on your own." Blossom says, her eyes traveling down my face until they stop at my lips. I smile and pull her down to me again. I can feel the warmth of her being so close. I go to undo her top when everything is changes.

"Blossom! Stay awake, come on you have to stay awake! If you fall asleep you may not wake up again. You know that I can't let that happen. Your sisters need you, they need you to be safe and go home with them, and I need you to… what am I kidding? I need you!" I scream as I add pressure to her heavily bleeding wound. I can feel the terror all through me. I can hear the hunters getting closer. I have to get us somewhere safe.

I pick Blossom up and begin to run as fast as I can. I have to keep her alive! This is what I need to do. I have to do this for her and for everyone who cares about her. She is the one who deserves to survive, she was the one who took the shot that was meant for me. I have to save her. I have to just keep running!

"Brick?" I hear as I look over to see Blossom looking at me confused. She pushes her way through a group of partying people and reaches me. She kisses me and I feel my mind go blank. I feel the warmth of her being near me.

That was the dream I had been having before I was shaken awake. When I actually opened my eyes I saw a worried Blossom kneeling over me. She was about to slap me, actually she was in the process of slapping me, when I grabbed her hand to make sure her hand didn't connect. I scowled at her as I sat up. "You weren't waking up. You know you're a really deep sleeper, Brick." She said in response. And then there was the sound of my name coming from her mouth that just melted me.

And for the past, almost, seven hours I've been thinking about it. I mean that dream was really confusing and really…odd, in a good way. I mean Blossom and I are just on some path and we've been really careful all day. I mean there hasn't been any trouble all day which is really good. My muscles are really sore from being used so much over the last few days. I mean, this will look great when it's all over, but it aches a lot right now.

I think that it's about six thirty or six forty in the evening. But I could be completely wrong. Blossom and I have been walking for about ten hours now. That's a long time to be walking without stopping, and I can tell that it's wearing on her as well. She's slumping a little and her walking is slower than she usually walks.

She suddenly perks up and I pay attention as well. She turns to look at me and try to communicate that we need to quickly hide. Hunters are coming and we haven't found a good enough place to hide away.

I begin looking everywhere for a little place for us to hide that won't seem like a typical spot for a wolf to hide in. I saw a small cave, but it doesn't hide enough of us. We'd be caught instantly. I look even more and see a small, but well hidden place for us to hide.

I nudge her side so that she'll turn to me. When she does I point out the hiding place. Then I look back at her to see what she thinks. She had already started heading toward it. It covers both of us, but not enough if we are wolves. We quickly shift to see if that helps, it does a little. It makes it even more confined, but it covers everything and our tails aren't accidently sticking out of the entrance.

"This was a smart idea. If we find actual shelter tonight we should probably have an excuse for why we look the way we look and why we're alone." Blossom suggested as we sat there really close together. I nod and begin to think.

"Well we could say that we were kidnapped and before the kidnappers could try anything we ran away and now we're lost." I suggested trying to include as much of the truth into the story. It didn't sound too abnormal.

"Yeah, but why are we travelling together? And why would we only choose to run half naked? I mean couldn't we have grabbed something on our way out. And then there's the fact that we're half naked. I mean why would the kidnappers, as you suggest them to be, leave us half naked? Why not leave us fully clothed or completely naked? And how exactly did we get away?" Blossom questioned looking at me skeptically.

"Well I don't hear you coming up with any ideas! I mean all I hear you doing is poking holes in my idea!" I argue frustrated that she is judging my idea without giving me something to work with like I had.

"Well I'm sorry that I'm giving the obvious criticism that anyone would pose if you gave them that excuse, Brick. You're trying to give them truth, but this isn't the time to be doing that. We need someone to help us, not know the truth." Blossom said melting me with my name.

Blossom:

"Fine, I get it. But do you have any ideas? I mean otherwise that's the only idea that we have." Brick said after a second. He always acts weird when I say his name. It's like it takes him a second to remember that that's his name. Like it really isn't his name, but I know that that is his name, Robin had mentioned it when she was telling us about him and his brothers when she went to Mitch's pack with him.

"Well, one idea is that we could say that we were set up on a blind date with each other by our friends and we ran into some strange guys in all black that drugged us and kidnapped us. And then to get rid of suspicion they were forcing us to change, so we took the chance to jump out the window and run. And now we're lost." I suggested, it sounded better in my head.

"Wow, that's so much better than my idea. Come on we need to have a simple story to get the person we're trying to convince to let us stay. We need to not hurt their head or make them suspicious of us. I think we're over thinking this. So something simple." Brick said before we both tried to figure something out. But we weren't able to say anything else because I could hear the hunters near the rear of the place that we were hiding. I know what happened in Bambi, but I'm not sticking around. We shifted and took off and found another little ditch in the dark.

"How's this for simple, we're lost and we need a place to stay for a night or two so that we can get our bearings. We just need a warm place to sleep to get our bearings and then we'll be gone and they can forget about us. We are half naked because we had to build a fire and we couldn't find anything else to burn." I suggested after we both shifted and hid.

"Sounds simple enough. Now the only problem is finding a place that we can actually use that excuse at. I mean it isn't exactly like there are a lot of places built around here. Hopefully we can find someone to actually agree and let us stay there. Otherwise this whole thing was pointless." Brick said not noticing the lodge that I had seen a little ways away.

"I saw a lodge with a smaller lodge near it, a little ways away from here. The thing is that we will have to run as humans. And we have to make sure the hunters won't see us. So that means we need to create a distraction to get them away from our trail. But what could we use?" I asked thinking.

"Wait, I think I saw something auburn down this way! I swear it looked like it was a wolf or two. Come on! What's the fun of hunting if all of you keep losing the creatures that we're actually hunting." A woman's voice sounded. This woman hunter must be the fiancé of the young hunter guy. And she just saved our hides. We could hear the hunters go off in the opposite direction as we were actually heading. Thank you woman I don't even know!

Brick and I crawl out to see a person's boots. Once we're both standing, Brick pulls me back in an attempt to try to protect me, I think. But the woman standing in front of us smiles and puts her hand up in surrender. "Run. And whatever you do, don't let these hunters find you. I can't push them off of your path forever. Just be careful." She said before she sub-changed proving that we could trust her. We smiled and began to run. She went to go with the other hunters, we ran until we reached the lodge like building's door.

Brick knocked on the door until a man that looked like he was in charge opened the door. "What do you want? Do you have any money?" He asked looking at our faces which was nice. Brick took the lead.

"We're lost and we need a place to stay for a night or two so that we can get our bearings. We just need a warm place to sleep to get our bearings and then we'll be gone and you can forget about us. Please, we'll do what we can to pay for the room or whatever you have." Brick said begging. The man sighed and then led us to a little lodge near the back of the larger lodge.

"This is the big, newly expanded, main lodge. But this small one back here is mainly for storage. But it does have electricity, rooms, and essentials. Just don't try to call anyone, the phones are dead. I'll bring some clothes by for each of you. Do you mind what color?" He asked as he brought us a little ways back toward a little lodge and unlocked the door.

"We're good with anything red. Thanks." Brick said as the man left and we went to the room that matched the card. The cards have numbers and the doors have faded numbers on them. Soon the guy came back and gave us some clothes. He explained that this was mostly in the middle of nowhere so many people tend to show up without luggage. We filled some drawers with the clothes after he left us alone.

"So we're going to be helping him out with managing the main lodge and we can only be here for a max of three days. Otherwise we have to start paying. So… what do you want to do, or do you want to just go do something-" I began to say to Brick. When I turned to look at him, Brick was right there and he was kissing me on the lips!

"I'd rather not do anything alone. I mean if you want to do something else, I'm okay with whatever you want to do, Blossom. I just had to try kissing you. I mean for the past few days I've just-" Brick was saying before I pulled his head down and I was kissing him again. I don't know what came over me, but all I could do was kiss him. The way he says my name just rescues me from over thinking like I always do. Damn, this is one time I'm okay with being rescued. Even if I'm only being rescued from myself. And sides, he's a damn good kisser.
