I tried to get this out ASAP because last chappie was a cliffy (again I'm sorry, I couldn't help it)
I keep on forgetting to add the disclaimer so here it is:
I don't own anything except Devastation, Chica, and Companion who will soon have a name. Oh and the plot but I don't think anyone will copy anything that is mine seeing how it's really bad.
On with the story:
Last time:
The wolfs were circling me, trying to find the weakest spot to attack their yellow eyes boring into my green ones. I gave an involuntary shudder and I knew I reeked with fear. My whole body tensed as I felt the one who had gotten behind me lunge and leap for the kill…
This time:
When the wolf was about a foot away from me Chica having just killed another wolf jumped out of the trees and tackled the animal mid leap.
: Good timing Bondmate.:
: Twas nothing, my fair lady.:
: Show off.:
:HEY! I'm killing these guys for your safety and all you can do is-: Whatever the only thing Chica could do was it was interrupted by a very tall, very white horse charging at the wolfs with an angry expression on his face (if horses can have expressions). Soon, with both a Kyree and a Companion working together, all the Change Wolfs had either been killed or had run off with their tails between their legs.
As soon as the last of the wolfs had disappeared the Companion had swung its head around and stared at me with anger still in it's eyes.
: WHERE ARE MY BERRIES?: The Companion had said- no screamed it in my head and I could do nothing to block out the voice. I was definitely feeling confused at the fact that a Companion had spoken to me, and not to Choose me, oh no, but to ask me about berries. Definitely, confusion was the situation in a nice not so neatly wrapped package.
:What berries? I haven't seen any berries since yesterday, and even then I only ate 5 and didn't take any with me. So what are you talking about?:
: I know you have berries because my heart and mind are telling me you're the one, and that means YOU HAVE MY BARRIES!: Again with the hurting of me. It was getting really hard to pay attention to the raging Companion when my head was ringing.
: For the last time Horse I don't have your BERRIES!: She was fuming with anger. What was up with this Companion? What was he talking about? Berries? God was he annoying her.
: Stop lying to me! I know you have my berries and if you don't give them to me right now-:
: Idiot! I hope you realize that it is impossible to lie mind to mind. Why don't you go and Choose someone and get your butt back to Haven.: Boy I hoped this Companion would leave soon, he was really getting on my nerves, not to mention she had a feeling that Chica would attack if the Companion yelled at me again, not a very good idea.
:Choose? Wha-OH! Now I remember. I was out here to find my Chosen! Huh, how did I forget. How could I be so silly? I can't believe it, how strange of me to forget why I was out of Haven. Now that I mention it, why am I out of Haven? I don't quite remember getting here so if you would help me remember I would much appreciate it.: Deva took a startled step back from the Companion. He was really starting to scare her now. She decided to help the poor Companion nonetheless.
:You were off to find your Chosen, ring a bell?:
:You mean I was off to find you? Oh… I get it, I'm supposed to Choose you now. Devastation I Choose you, I love you and will never… ah… Oh yeah. And I will never leave you.: Instantly she felt her soul fill with love and happiness. Along with slight confusion, but she ignored that and flung her arms around his neck. Happy tears of joy flowed freely down her cheeks and she felt like nothing would ever go wrong again. Caradoc and Chica would always support her no matter what she did, they would be there for comfort and love and anything else she needed.
This feels so good… I revel in the happiness my life has brought to me. And now I can live a free persons life with support to help me overcome the fact that I killed someone.
I shuddered again as the memory threatened to invade my vision. I fiercely shook my head then continued my hug with Caradoc and Chica. Within 5 minutes of being Chosen I came to the realization that I would have to go to Haven. And with this realization came the fact that anyone who saw Chica would immediately call wolf.
:Chica, how are we supposed to deal with the fact that you will scare everyone witless like most were in the village?:
:I can try to keep myself looking like a very large sheepdog, but I can't keep that up for long so we need to find a more plausible answer. You might as well tell everybody what I am, and deal with their responses. I'm sure some of them know what I am.:
: I know they do, there is a resident Kyree at the Palace, but when we go on circuit, and we will need to come up with a plan. I am Caradoc-:
:We know who you are horse, and personally I don't like you.:
:Chica!: I reprimanded, annoyed at the Kyree for the first time in my life.
:Well I don't. I don't like the fact that he nearly tried to kill you when you first met him, or the fact that he forgets that we know who he is. I don't like anything he's done so far-:
:Well I don't like you either dog. You could bite my Chose into little pieces without using any energy at all.:
:Well horse, at least I don't forget something as basic as what I was doing 5 seconds ago.:
:That's not true! I don't forget what I was doing every 5 seconds it's more like every ten!:
:5, horse.:
:10, dog.: Chica growled at Cardoc. In return Caradoc reared to his full height lashing out with his front hooves, barely missing hitting me square on the head. He came down and snorted at Chica. Then blinked and looked around.
:Where am I? Who are you?: I couldn't help but stare at the forgetful Companion, then shook my head and answered one of his questions-in part.
:I'm your Chosen and you're taking me to Haven.: I said this while mounting Caradoc and motioning with my hands. Chica leaped up, riding pavilion (AN: I think that's what it's called… But you know what I mean, Chica's behind Deva on Caradocs rump and Deva's in the saddle). Caradoc seemed content with the answer and quickly started out to Haven.

Hope you liked. I tried to add a bit more humor in this chapter, please tell me what you think. I hope you like Caradoc, he's fun to right 'cause he's really forgetful. Caradoc's kind of like Dory (sp?) in Finding Nemo, 'cept in horse form.
