okay,

Dart2460- first of all I must thank you for reviewing my fanfic. second of all I wish that I could answer you questions but it might ruin the rest of the story for you and other readers. all the comments you gave are very good but they shall answer themselves in later chapters of this fanfic. it's sorta supposed to be mysterious and it will take a while for the players to figure out everything about this white wolf. believe me, it's not what you would think. it's sort of like on the real .hack/sign show: sometimes you have to watch the next few episodes in order to answer unanswered questions that aroused in the latest episode. you just have to read this story further on for all hopefully all questions to be answered, but thank you for bringing those certain things to my attention.

FlikFreak I'm so glad that somebody likes my story ^_^ thanx for the review.

okay, if I haven't left you guys totally confused, now on with the story:

p.s. many chapters are going to be short due to lack of time on my part. I have three active fics going on right now and trying to balance them on top of schoolwork, chores and socialization, so plz bear with me there. now, onward!

Chapter 2

Song of the Wind

"Whoa!" A player stated as he came out of a chaos gate, his traveling buddy close behind him. "This certainly isn't the field that we were heading for."

"How in the world did we get here? I'm sure we put in the right coordinates." His friend scratched the back of his head.

"Oh well." The first player shrugged. "We might as well make use of it." The lanky player looked back over his shoulder as he leisurely moseyed across the dark and frozen field.

"I don't know." His partner followed shakily behind, grasping his sword tightly in his trembling hands. "This place creeps me out."

"Hmm. So?" The carefree one turned around to face his friend. "You're not scared are you?"

"N-n-o-o-o.." He trembled as a white mist blew in with the strong winds that were beginning to blow. "What was that?" The player whipped his sword around with him to face the direction from which the sound had come from.

"It.it sounds like.someone humming? Or maybe singing?" The bold player strode up beside his scared friend.

"What a weird tune." The man with the sword straightened up.

"Now it's starting to get creepy." The other player hastily agreed with his partner. "Maybe we should go."

"No. I want to see where that noise is coming from." The former frightened player walked cautiously into the mist. He crouched behind a large boulder and peeped over the top of it. He motioned to his friend to follow.

"What is it?" The guy asked.

"Look." The first player directed his friend's gaze to the frozen meadow before them.

"It's a girl." He concluded.

"Or maybe it's a monster in disguise!" His friend started.

"Yeah. Maybe we should kill 'it' then see what happens." The other smiled wickedly as the crept behind the supposedly unsuspecting girl who continued to hum an eerie tune. Suddenly, within striking distance of the girl she turned around, her eyes fixed upon the two boys with hollow eyes that showed no light.

"What on earth are you?" One exclaimed.

"Let's get her before she gets us!" The other shouted as he raised his sword and charged for attack.

The girl turned her back to them, her green, layered dress flapping in the breeze. Saleana looked at the ground, not wanting to see the carnage as the white wolf, her master, her captor, attacked the boys. She heard their quick screams and the clatter of metal as their weapons fell to the ground from lifeless bodies. Then it was over.

The white wolf howled with pleasure at his victory, coming up beside his prisoner, begging for praise for what he had done. Saleana stared down at him, hate gleaming off her face as a spark of light ignited in her eyes for a brief moment. Her mouth moved but no words came out. She sighed and closed her eyes, concentrating hard on what she was trying to say. "I will never praise you. I will never bow to your wishes. I will despise you until the end of the earth, until you set me free." A voice echoed slowly through the field.

The wolf's eyes gleamed a dangerous yellow. "Be careful what you say to me. I control you and your future. You must obey me!" His answered in the same way as he growled, turning his back on the girl. "You are mine forever."

Saleana fell to her knees. "Will no one rescue me?" Tears sprung to her eyes. "Won't someone free me?"
