The songs of songbirds woke the wolf from a passive slumber, his sense of
smell the most keenest at the time, he could smell decaying leaves, wild
flowers, and other animals. He was in a forest.
Could the happenings of last night been a dream or nightmare?
The wolf got to his feet drowsily, but when he stood there was a sharp stab
of pain in all of his feet, so he let himself down easily.
The memories of last night were too detailed to be a dream or nightmares,
and he remembered every last detail, the pain was still throbbing through
him too, so how could of it been a dream.
A loud snapping of twigs sent the wolf to his senses and turned around,
behind him was what made the noise, a lizard, make that a very big lizard
it was bigger that than a deer, moose, or caribou that his pack had ever
seen in the winter pack hunts. The lizard bared its sharp teeth in its
mouth.
"I'm mighty hungry for anything that comes through my territory, mammal,"
the lizard said in animal speak, "I've already eaten my fill but I'm being
nice, if you don't get out of my territory, or I'll take you for lunch."
"Sorry," the wolf spoke back to the lizard, in the talk of animals, "I'll
be leaving."
The wolf got up ignoring the pain in its paws and got to a steady trot.
The wolf traveled what seemed endless miles, seeing more lizard creatures,
some normal animals, until his paws could take no more.
Collapsing close to an open clearing of a grassland field, the scent of
humans arose and greeted his nose with a small musky smell. Hoping there
would be no more large lizards the bush he collapsed by was a spring of
luck berries and they were edible too.
After the wolf ate his share of the berries of the bush he heard voices,
very faint, like the low whistling of the wind through a crack of a tree or
maybe a rock, but the sound grew in volume, the wolf knew now these were
human voices, apparalently fighting against each other in an argument, so
he adjusted his ears to hear more closely what they were saying.
"If you didn't insult me like that, I wouldn't be yelling at you, in fact
I'm always yelling at you!" A deep but young crisp boy's voice rang through
the fine adjusted ear of the wolf.
"Pah, you don't know a damned thing, I'm trying to get away from you
freak," A rough voice of a girl replied the boy's.
"Freak? Whoa, you wait a minute, you ran ahead of Corinne and me, I'm
trying to end these arguments we always have and so we can get along like
friends, like Corinne wants."
A few words that were told by some cats to the wolf the meaning and why the
humans use those them, were for insults, of course the girl shot those
words at the boy.
"Paige, shut up!" The boy hollered back at the girl whom the wolf now
assumed must be 'Paige'.
"Why don't you Trunks, it'll do us a lot of good," Paige snarled.
The argument continued but with more insults or swears. The wolf noticed
while he was listening, their voices had increased in volume, like they had
moved closer or they just started to yell at a more earsplitting level of
volume, so the wolf now decided to look to see if they were closer to the
bush he was laying by.
They were still a good distance away from the bush; they must of just
increase their voices from aggravated snarl to large earthquake, the wolf
thought as he studied the humans from where he laid.
The raspy rough voice he heard the girl Paige use came from a tall blonde
girl, wearing a large black trench coat, which also had a white shirt
underneath, and baggy grey pants, she was also wearing slipper quality
shoes. Looking at 'Paige's' hair at bit closely revealed that she had
really strange hair, she had Four diamond shaped bangs two on each side of
her head, and a long slender bang in the middle of the sets of two
diamonds, the rest of her hair was straight. With the expression on her
face it looked like Paige looked always angry, and her high cheekbones
added a tough complexion to her.
The boy, the wolf was supposing his name was Trunks, since there was nobody
else around at the time, was a bit taller than Paige, his hair even though
it was purple, was not so complex than that of Paige's, for he had a
mushroom shaped hair cut, the cats that liked hanging around his family's
den to be chased, kept talking about the fact that their human's hair needs
to be cut so often.
His jacket was a strange design, even though the wolf had seen humans wear
jackets to keep them warm the one Trunks was wearing had the bottom shorter
than any jacket the wolf had ever seen, revealing more of the black shirt
he wore underneath, than the part of the jacket that was covering, and
which was not zipped up showed. The jackets sleeves covered his arms
despite the fact that the main part of the jacket was way shorter than the
sleeves, and one arm of the jacket's sleeves that Trunks wore had human
writing, which the wolf could not understand the curved lines.
There wasn't really anything else besides grey baggy pants Trunks had on
with some boots of a tan colouration.
By the time the wolf finished his analysis of the two arguing humans a
third human came to them, a girl with brown hair with a headband exposing
three thin bangs, the rest of the brown hair was shaggy, and pulled back in
a hair tie. Out of the three humans she looked the most kindheartedly human
he'd ever seen, even though most humans the wolf seen resolved things in
violence, coming up with angry looks and their faces, this girl had a smile
on her face.
She was wearing a dark grey t-shirt, with some belt coming over the shirt,
which the belt was attached to a sword sheath, what the wolf didn't notice
until now that Trunks had one too.
The girl also had on has some denim pants that had faded from ware and
tear, and some black shoes, the wolf didn't really see any human without
foot or paw protection on, he stopped and though for a moment what their
feet or paws really looked like without the foot protection.
"Hey," the girl said interrupting the arguing duo; the girl still had her
smile on when she said this.
Trunks and Paige stopped their bickering, and turned to the girl.
"Corinne, sorry we ran ahead of you, I'm very certain this is all Paige's
fault," Trunks spoke turning a shade of red a certain berry the wolf had
seen, in the face.
"Oh please Trunks, you insulted me first you-," Paige said being cut off by
the girl who the wolf guessed was Corinne.
"It's alright you guys, Bulma just called on the miniature vid phone when
you both ran off to yell," Corinne said grinning, "she told me that Sphinx
just came bearing a letter from Jayme, from the "Harry Potter" universe."
Jayme? Again there was another reminder of his past, the name was called
out by someone or something, and the faces of Trunks and Paige, but
remembering this cause pain of immense proportions to over whelm the wolf,
he started howling at volumes never imaginable, which sounded strange with
the pain forcing him to keep his eyes shut, sounded like screaming that of
a humans, but the pain also forced the wolf to become unconscious.
