Just so you know, Alueme is pronounced: Al-loo-may. Now on with the story:
Alueme cautiously followed Hige throughout the crowd. She had learned never to trust anyone completely. If you were dependent on someone else too much, then how would you ever get by alone? Well it was a little late to decide not to trust Hige.
The two wolves weaved their way through the crowd until they came to other wolves. Alueme took a good look at them. One of them had dark hair and pure blue eyes. He was wearing jeans and a black coat with a white shirt underneath. The second wolf was younger. He had mahogany colored hair and innocent eyes of the same color. This one wore a pale red jacket and olive pants.
Hige waved, "Hey, Kiba, Toboe! Look what I found!" The dark haired wolf, who was leaning against a wall, looked up at Hige, then turned his attention to Alueme. The she-wolf met the blue gaze with apprehension. She didn't want them to get the wrong impression, but how was she to know what impression to give? It figures, she thought to herself, I've never met another wolf in pretty much my whole life and then one day I meet three. The young wolf came running up, "Hi, I'm Toboe! What's your name?" The she- wolf smiled at his friendliness, "My name is Alueme. Nice to meet you, Toboe." The third wolf introduced himself, "I'm Kiba."
Alueme looked at the three wolves with admiration, "So you three are- are a pack?" The one called Kiba answered first, "No. We're just a few wolves trying to find paradise." "There's also Tsume. He went to find us a place to stay for the night," added Toboe. Alueme nodded and then said, "You know, my mother used to tell me stories about Paradise. She said that it was a perfect place where our kind could live in harmony." The she-wolf's eyes softened as she reminisced about her past.
Then Toboe asked, "Would you like to go to paradise with us? I'm sure it'll be fine! Right Kiba?" They all looked at the white wolf and waited for his response. "Well, I don't see why not," he said with a small grin. A smiled grew across Hige's face, "Cool, they'll be a pretty girl to look at!" Alueme looked a little embarrassed and ran her tongue across her dry lips. She was glad when Toboe interrupted, "And I'll have someone to talk to! Kiba is usually quiet and Hige and Tsume just ignore me." "So do you want to join us?" asked Kiba. Alueme looked to the ground, "Well I..." She sighed, "I don't see why not!" "That's great!" cheered Toboe. "Yeah, I'll say!" added Hige. Kiba only smiled.
"So, are any of you going to tell me about this Tsume guy?" inquired the she-wolf. "What about me?" snapped a voice. Alueme turned and saw a white haired guy walking towards them. He had leather pants and wore a leather shirt with 'V' shaped cuts on each shoulder. Kiba asked, "So did you find someplace?" He looked at Kiba, "Yeah. Did you guys get food?" "Yup," said Toboe as he ran over to pick up the brown paper bag full of food. "And I found her! She agreed to come with us!" announced the slightly cubby wolf as he pointed at Alueme. The gray wolf, Tsume, took a look at the she-wolf and turned back to Hige and complained, "She's just another mouth to feed." The young Toboe smiled, "With Tsume, that means he thinks you should come!" A low growl rose from Tsume's throat. Not to threaten, but as a warning. Then Kiba asked, "Why don't you show us where we'll be staying, Tsume." "Right, come on."
Then the group of wolves set off through the city until they reached an old empty building. "Welcome home," said Tsume in his normal tone. "This place is kind neat, "commented the brown pup. "I call that corner!" yelled Hige as he ran over to get settled in. The four males all found a place to sleep. Alueme had picked a place near a broken out window. The cool night air and the whistling wind soon lulled the she-wolf into a dreamless sleep.
Me: So how was it? Please don't be mean to me. Next chapter the wolves leave the city and Alueme gets to try her hand (or paw in this case) at hunting. How will she do? Wait and see. I'll try to make it longer too...
