AN: READ THIS IF YOU ARE READING THE STORY, IT'S
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want you guys to know, that whenever Merlock is
speaking to Canie and Lupie he's speaking wolf, unless I say otherwise. Oh, and anotherthing. Shaking your head and nodding it are two different things one means 'yes' (nodding) and one means 'no' (shaking).
Silent*Shadow: In other words Takeshi got lazy and didn't want to write 'nodded their head yes' or 'shook their head no'
Would you shut up and go do something else?!
Silent*Shadow: No.
Ugh! Please R&R~ Takeshi
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Flint characters or the name Eboshi(from PrincessMononoke). Nor do I own Lupie, he's Ly's the werewolf's timeshifter. I also credit JackLondon for the name.
Call of the Wild (part3) by: Takeshi
The morning sun cast a warm glow on Merlock's face as it began to seep through the branches of the trees. Merlock slowly opened his eyes. Canie and Lupie had left.
The blood he was lying in had dried and now Merlock had dry blood all over his skin. His arm still hurt too. Merlock rubbed his arm, and suddenly noticed the yellow fabric that had been wrapped tightly around it. "Sara" he thought.
Merlock sat up on his haunches and looked around. He could smell Sara, and Bindi. Merlock's stomach growled. Judging by the pile of deer remains near the cave Merlock guessed Canie and Lupie had already eaten and gone off the find something to do. So Merlock walked off(on all fours kinda like Tarzan or maybe spider man) to look for a mink or something.
Not much longer later Merlock had caught a rabbit and was carrying it (in his mouth)back to the cave. Not being able to see where he was stepping Merlock
accidentally stepped on a sharp rock. He yelped in pain, and dropped the rabbit on the ground. Merlock looked at the gash in his hand. It was a good three inches long, and bleeding badly. Merlock licked up as most of the blood as he could. Then, picked up the rabbit, and limped back to the cave.
Merlock finished eating as much of the rabbit as he could, then he cut the
remainder into thin strips with the dagger he had made, and laid them out on a rock, to dry, and eat later. And then Merlock laid down on his back and closed his eyes. The cut was still bleeding and it was hot and throbbing. Suddenly, he felt a warm wet tongue passing over the wound. Merlock opened his eyes. Canie was sitting there licking his cut. She stopped and looked up at him.
"Feeling any better?" she asked him. Merlock ran his hand over the bandage Sara had made.
"Yeah," he said.
"Sara and Bindi have been here."
"I know, I can smell them." Merlock sat up.
"Are you going to go with them....if they want you to that is?" Merlock leaned his head on Canie, sinking into her thick fur, and sighed.
"I don't know.... I don't know if I can go back to that kind of life....but life now ain't so hot either.........I just wish I could do both."
"Well, you can't."
"Canie, what do you think I should do?"
"I think you should do what your heart tells you," she started walking off toward the waterfall. "You should get some rest, you look kind of pale. I'm going to see if I canfind that crazy big brother of mine, Lupie. Who knows where he's gotten himself." Canie walked into the trees and quickly disappeared.
Tony and Flint woke up at about noon. Toki had already left to the market to buy the days supplies.
"Tony, I can't find Bindi!" Flint cried.
"I can't find Sara either," Tony said.
"Where could they be?"
"Wait, I have and idea," Tony ran up the stairs onto the porch, where he found Sara and Bindi sleeping on two chairs. Tony saw that Sara's shirt was ripped and she had some blood smeared on it. He ran over to her and started shaking her. "Sara! Sara wake up!" Sara opened her eyes sleepily.
"What? What is it Tony?"
"Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, I'm fine why do you ask?"
"Your shirt, it's ripped and has blood on it."
"Huh? What? Oh yeah. Eheheh... (sweat drop)"
"What were you doing out here?" Sara got up and walked over to the edge of the porch and looked out in to the forest.
"I saw him."
"Saw who?" Sara looked back at the forest, than said a poem in a very Bilbo Baggins way (If ya don't know who he is ask in your review and gimmer yer e-mail)
"In the moon light I felt your heart. Quiver like a bow-string's pulse. In the
moon's pale light, you looked at me. Nobody knows you heart. When the sun has gone I see you. Beautiful and haunting but cold. Like the blade of a knife so sharp, so sweet. Nobody knows your heart. All of your sorrow, grief, and pain locked away in the forests of the night. Your secret heart, belongs to the world. Of those that sigh in the dark. Of those that cry in the dark."
"Wow, neat poem. But you still didn't tell me who you saw."
"Don't you get it Tony? I saw Merlock."
"What?! Merlock?! You can't be serious." Sara nodded.
"And I'm going back this afternoon too."
"Why?! You heard what Toki said, he'd sooner rip your head off than want to be friends again."
"Well, I don't believe what TOKI said. I'm going back to that cave and your coming with me." Sara grabbed his wrist and pulled him down stairs. Flint and Bindi quickly trailed behind.
Sara grabbed a back-pack and filled it with water bottles that they had brought from home ( they had refilled them) a few granola bars, that had been left over from the trip there, and a few bandaging supplies in case she got a chance to rewrap Merlock's arm. Tony didn't bother to pack anything, he just put on a baseball cap and was ready to head out the door. Sara quickly wrote a note to Toki telling her they went for a walk. Then, the group was out the door.
Several hours later Sara, Tony, Flint, and Bindi, approached the clearing near the cave. They could see Merlock laying on a rock, on top of the cave, sleeping in the sun. But hearing them coming Merlock quickly opened his eyes, got up and looked around. He noticed the group crouching in the bushes. Merlock started to hiss at them, bearing his two sharp pearly white teeth. Sara stepped slowly forward, then kneeled down to show that she meant to pose no threat. Seeing that Merlock wasn't getting any angrier Tony and Flint did the same. But at the sight of Tony and Flint Merlock started to growl
loudly.
"Come 'ere," Sara said extending her hand, "We're not going to hurt you."

I really wanted to get this out A.S.A.P because of the long interval between the last part and my computer crashing, and it's all just been a big holy mess! So please bere with me. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say that for one, I don't own Bilbo Baggins (If ya don't know who he is ask in review and gimme yer e-mail) he's J. R.R. Tolkien's character. Nor do I own that lovely poem Sara said. That's from Princess Mononoke, but I didn't want to put it in the disclaimer and ruin it. ^_~ Please review ~ Takeshi
