Disclaimer: - I own the plot and David. Nothing else. Got it? Good.
(a/n The Dark Lady (I'll thank you later) is right I should have told you what happened before hand in the story. So here it is.)
When Daine was 13 bandits killed her family, and her animal friends. I'm afraid to say that Cloud died too.
Ouch.
Daine got very angry with the humans in her village because it was like 3 days before they came to see if Daine's family was all right. She sought of snapped, threw stones, rocks, screamed at them to get out, leave her alone. They ran. They thought she was mad with grief.
Nasty.
The Wolfs came. Daine showed them what had happened threw her connection with them. Brokefang got angry. Very angry. Daine was their friend, and human monsters had hurt her, made her cry. It was not on. The Wolfs wanted revenge, so did Daine.
They're in for it now.
The animal instincts started to overpower Daine. She started to act like the Wolves. Hunting, looking after the cubs. Daine mostly hunted with the Wolves. Hunted the bandits that is. She wanted revenge.
She got it to.
One of the days though Daine attacked a bandit who was holding a knife he stabbed her, in the side. She managed to crawl away. He was to drunk to notice anyway. Brokefang found her; under a bush. He licked the wound clean for her.
Big mistake.
Daine eventually got revenge on the bandits. She managed to save the village girls they'd taken.
That got her hunted.
The village girls being frightened and scared by the bandits, were even more frightened and scared by Daine's behaviour. They ran back to the village and told the villagers that a girl had helped them.
But she was mad.
They said that there must be something wrong with her. She was running with a pack of wolves. She was acting like a Wolf. Not normal behaviour for 13 year old. The villagers figured that it must be Daine she was the only one who was friends with the wolves. They figured that she must have gone mad with grief.
They got that right.
They called her to come out, the falcon man said that he'd look after her. She could stay at his house. Earn her keep by looking after the falcons, since she'd always been good with them. That tempted her. She came out. They shot at her. One of the arrows hit her. In the leg.
Liars.
She managed to get away. The horses turned and galloped back home. With or without their riders. The dogs wouldn't go. They ran back home too. The villagers ran out of ideas. They figured she was gonna die but it would just take longer, and be more painful too.
Enter David.
Daine would have too. Died that is. If it hadn't have been for David. He'd come to visit Snowsdale. He'd had a nasty surprise when the villagers had come back. They'd said that a mad girl was on the lose. That they'd shot her, with an arrow, in the leg. That she'd managed to get away. The villagers thought were sure she was going to die slowly and painfully.
Lucky her.
David was absolutely horrified. How could they do this to such a young child? Monsters, the lot of them. David was only 16, and he didn't have a nasty bone in his body. David couldn't hurt a fly. He went up to the woods to see if he could find her. He searched for a long time. It was dark when he found the Wolves.
He found the Wolves, he found her.
They were crowded around her. Howling. David walked over carefully to see a very pale girl, unconscious on the floor. She had rags for clothes and was very thin. She was also pale. Not surprising with the amount of blood she'd lost from her leg. Oh yeah and she had an arrow in her leg.
God's that must of hurt.
It turned out that the arrow must have punctured the artery in her leg. She was losing a lot of blood. David managed to find her pulse, which was barley a flutter. David wasn't a healer though, he couldn't help her. When he pulled the arrow out of her leg, she cried out.
Of course her cry sounded more like a howl.
David managed to pick her up easily. Not that she was that heavy. It felt like she hadn't eaten in weeks. But then again if she'd been running with the Wolves as the villagers said she had, she probably hadn't eaten in weeks. He found his horse and rode hard to his village healer.
It was close.
The healer took her in and laid her on a bed. David told her about the arrow. The healer checked the wound. All of a sudden she seemed more worried. Running around, getting hot water, cleaning the wound. This worried David. He asked what was wrong. The healer told him.
The arrow was poisoned. He'd got there just in time.
David stayed with the healer all night. Thing's didn't look for the girl. She went into a fever half way through the night. The healer said that they'd be lucky if she survived the rest of the night, let alone another day.
Things really didn't look good.
Amazingly though the girl was alive by the morning. Not in great shape but alive. The healer told him, she wanted the girl to stay another night, and then she could probably stay with him.
Things started looking up.
The next day the healer told him that she could go home, on one condition. That he stayed with her and made sure her fever didn't pick up, or they'd lose her. David paid the healer and left. He took Daine to his house.
A good thing too.
Daine slowly started to recover. She was scared of David at first, and acted more like an animal than a human but they still became friends. She told him her name, and things grew from there. She left David's house and lived round the city.
They never lost contact.
When Daine was 16 things changed between them. They fell in love.
Sweet.
Daine moved in to his house. It was hard though, because even though the wound had gone and healed the scar remained. Daine was very scared of people. She thought that they might hurt her.
She also talked to animals.
So that's Daine's story. So when you think to yourself, god I hate my life. Think what Daine had to go through.
Is your life really that bad compared to hers? I didn't think so.
