...Tala's POV...

I stop my thoughts and walk out into the open abandoning my spot hidden among the trees as I sit down beside Kai in the snow.
"What are you doing here?" he asks, titling his head slightly to face me.
"I could ask you the same thing," I reply, my eyes travelling down the sloping mountainside further down into the Valley where a stream slowly flows along the valley floor.
"No really, why are you and the team here?" Kai asks again, thoughin a sterner tone; Rei hasn't put him in a good mood.
"To find you," I tell him plainly and he looks slightly shocked, I smirk.
"What did you think we could forget about you that easily?" I add and he adverts his eyes from mine shaking his head slowly as though he's ashamed of himself for thinking that but he looks back up at me, and his eyes tell me he's debating about asking something… I can guess what it is.
"Yes, I know what tomorrow is," I tell him, "so why are you here, I've never pictured you ever being stuck out in the mountains," I ask.

I tilt my head kind of confused as Kai rolls over, his back to me but then he starts to speak.
"It's these dreams…" he tells me, before continuing, "I keep having them… they started off just as a golden-bronze wolf running through the night across a snow covered plain. The moon light would gleam off its coat, it was beautiful, I wanted to join it… I had that same dream for months and nothing changed until a month or so ago…" he pauses but I can already guess what's coming. When Bryan first found out abouthim being as i was,he told me of the same dream and Spencer after his sixteenth told me of the same but on the night of Bryan's birthday he said it had changed to two wolves, one golden bronze the other one silver. And so it went on with the addition of Ian.

I lie down in the snow listening as Kai continues to tell me about his dreams; I don't mind each story's slightly different with each person who tells it.
"…The scenery was the same but there was another wolf… a silver one. They'd run across the plain, sending small clouds of snow flying up behind them as they chased each other… the golden-bronze one always in the lead until the other got fed up. Then they'd just lie there in the snow together… a few weeks later it changed again with the addition of another wolf… a white one, he was larger then all of them but it was obvious that the golden-bronze was the leader bey the way the acted. A few days later there was a forth, a smaller black one and while the golden-bronze and the sliver wolf ran about the plain it and the white wolf would just bask in the moonlight contempt with just watching…" he stops.

I lie there watching the clouds as they darken waiting for him to continue.
"A week later it was the scenery that changed…" he paused again. "The golden-bronze one, I saw it today," he tells me, rolling over onto his back looking up at the sky, "he was beautiful," he adds looking at where the moons light tried to penetrate the clouds. I feel myself blush slight, surprised he still thinks of me as beautiful, however, I quickly try to cool my face as I remind myself that he doesn't yet know of what I am; what he is. I had decided while I lay on the couch back at the cabin with Bryan that I'd leave it for him to find out for himself; but I'd be waiting there with him even if he didn't know it. I want to tell him here and now but I can't risk him freaking out and informing Rei and the rest of his team.

I quickly turn and look into the woods as the sound of Bryan's howling reaches my ears; Kai's heard it to but he just cant under stand what it means yet.
"I should be going…" I tell him, as I stand up and go to leave. However I feel his hand close around mine drawing me back to face him.
"Did you really come here to find me?" he asks and I nod.
"Bryan, Spencer and Ian as well. We want you to re-join us and come back to Russia with us."

…Normal POV…

The sound of howling fills the air and Kai stares into the forest only to see three pairs of glowing eyes staring right back at him. He looked around for Tala but he had disappeared. Sighing Kai began to make his way back up towards the cabin, 'Tala wants me back… they want me to come back to Russia with them…' Kai thought as he went over everything in his mind trying to make some sense of it all. He quickly turned his head towards the woods at the sound of more howling and there they were. All four of them…golden-bronze, silver, white and black, just like in his dreams. Kai sighed as he watched them take one last glance at him before running off deeper within the woods; part of him longed to be able to go with them just like part of him longed to return to Tala.
